    “Imagine four Davids in a room. One would live, the others would die.” [03:57]

Communication Chaos in Scheduling

• [07:13] The crew shares how internal miscommunication and unreliable emails/calendar invites lead to chaotic schedule planning.
  • Jason:

    “I get here and there’s a damn dinosaur in the backyard or a tiger in Dave’s bedroom. And I’m like, I thought we were doing the pod.” [08:24]

  • There's a running joke about fabricated calendar items and everyone acting on “fake news” from the production manager.

Trip Plans and John's Billionaire Connections

• [10:59] John casually mentions he has several billionaire friends, shocking Jason.
• [11:00] Main Theme Reference: David missed out on investing in the SpaceX IPO.
  • John explains he gave David a chance, but David either forgot or ignored it, leading to immense regret:

    “His friend made like 10x…changed his family’s life.” [11:36]

  • David admits:

    “If your friend wants to hit me up to invest, take all my money.” [13:10]

The Hectic Business of Influencer Life

  • Hanging with Dhar Mann, F1 drivers, and the influencer crowd.

    “I don’t know how to—Dhar Mann really saved the business aspect.” [16:19]

  • Jason asks about expense coverage—David explains the reality of “brand-paid” trips:

    “That is your money already. It’s never magical new money that appears from the brand.” [25:00]

  • David recalls John’s “scary” earlier transformation to 165 and is glad it’s not being repeated.

The Nature of Fun, Small Talk, and Social Anxiety

• [32:02] David reflects on how his idea of “fun” has shifted; because his job is so inherently fun, in time off he prefers to do nothing.
  • Jason urges David to develop outside interests or hobbies for conversational purposes:

    “A basketball player will be like, ‘I love the game, but I also like to paint…’ Why don’t you get some hobbies outside, so when someone asks you, you can say ‘I love to drive my cars,’ or ‘I do crochet’—just something!” [33:13]

  • The team discusses the awkwardness and discomfort of small talk, silences at social events, and strategies for gracefully exiting conversations.
    • David:

      “I don’t like when people feel the need that they have to do small talk. Just do whatever’s natural to you.” [36:37]

      “I gotta check on Naveen… My kids are calling. I’ll be right back.” [40:04]

Existential Tangents & Afterlife Speculation

    • John: “I think we go to heaven.” [48:44]
    • David: “What about Natalie?” [48:47]
    • They discuss superstitions, signs from deceased loved ones, and whether orbs in funeral photos are meaningful or just dust.

What's up, guys?

[David Dobrik]

Welcome back to Views. We are back with a brand new episode. No Natalie today, but we replaced her with John. Jason Nash is, of course, here. My lovely co host John.

[Jason Nash]

Also pretty good looking like Natalie.

[David Dobrik]

Basically the same thing.

[Jason Nash]

And you're doing Sports Illustrated this year, right?

[John]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

And you're the first. Man.

[David Dobrik]

It's those titties that got him there.

[Jason Nash]

Amazing. Incredible.

[David Dobrik]

Nat's not here. We got into a fight last night.

[Jason Nash]

What happened?

[Scared to Death Podcast Hosts]

She just.

[John]

She's.

[David Dobrik]

Well, she's wrong.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, of course.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jason Nash]

So, I mean, anybody in your orbit is wrong?

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yes. So it's. What's the point? I'm even talking about what it is. We all know.

[Jason Nash]

No, you got to tell me. I got to know. You can't just start like that.

[David Dobrik]

No, it was. It's not like it wasn't like a big fight.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

It was just like a culmination of, like, being together for so long.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then the last thing was we filmed something and I had her hold the phone.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And she filmed it wrong. And I was like, how can you mess up filming? Just film it the way I always say this to everybody that films. Because people don't like. People don't film like they're looking through the lens. They film like they're still looking through their eyes. And, like, they're all like, they're doing

[Jason Nash]

I'm eyes on the phone. Not on the.

[David Dobrik]

Not even that. But like, film. I always say film it the exact same way you'd want to watch it. So, like, if there's something happening and you got to step in a little closer.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Because you want to see it because you're curious. Then do that. Because that's the same thing that the person watching want to experience. Right. She messed it up.

[Jason Nash]

How did she film it?

[David Dobrik]

She filmed it like she was blind.

[John]

I thought she filmed it fine, honestly, Jay.

[David Dobrik]

So, yeah, so there's that.

[Jason Nash]

So then. So then you're on the. Wherever you are, and you're on the lot at Paramount. Yes. I was gonna say.

[David Dobrik]

And I go, you filmed it horribly. I don't know what I said.

[John]

He said more than that. It was a round of like, why can't you get it right?

[David Dobrik]

Right. Yeah.

[John]

And it's so tough because it's. It is filming. You know what I mean?

[David Dobrik]

It's so easy.

[John]

It's not that easy.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know.

[John]

I've.

[Jason Nash]

I've had to hold your vlog camera, and I've never gotten it right. Not once.

[David Dobrik]

Well, you can't, like, even hold the cell phone for a call correctly.

[John]

Okay.

[Jason Nash]

For a phone call?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Like your hands don't.

[Jason Nash]

Interesting. I have a. I have had a number of calls this week that I've achieved perfectly.

[David Dobrik]

How many times have you dropped your phone while you've been through the phone?

[Jason Nash]

I've had seven times, but I pick it right back up.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I just feel like. Yeah. I feel like your hand. Eye coordination isn't all there. Do you know what I mean?

[Jason Nash]

Interesting. Yeah. I definitely remember being like, jay, film this. And then every single time it was wrong. And you're talking like, you know, five, six years of working with you. So I'm not sure, but if only. What we should do is we should clone your brain and put it into all of ours.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Because everyone around you, you don't want that. Supposedly, everyone would be a genius.

[Jason Nash]

Right, Right, right. Everybody be so lit.

[John]

Jay, can you imagine, like, four Davids in a room? They would. One would live, the other would die.

[Jason Nash]

You think he. David would kill David?

[John]

David would kill Dave for sure.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I don't think so.

[John]

He'd be like, he was the other Dave. So hard.

[David Dobrik]

He'd be like, no one could gaslight Dave. Not even Dave. What were you saying to John before the pod started?

[Jason Nash]

Well, I.

[David Dobrik]

Giving him a note on podcasting.

[Jason Nash]

How is John with constructive criticism?

[John]

He's.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, he takes it, but he doesn't act on it. So you'll say something and then it won't register.

[Jason Nash]

Well, I love John on the pod.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Love him, but he sometimes.

[John]

Just.

[Jason Nash]

Honestly, just this last episode you have a tendency to. You maybe because we were all kind of tired, but you were like. You talk underneath. You're saying things underneath Dave talking. And I don't know what you're saying or what you're adding.

[David Dobrik]

He's like ad libbing.

[Sponsor Voice]

But it's here.

[Jason Nash]

Let me do it. Let me do it. Just tell me about, tell me, tell me about your week. What'd you do this morning?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I mean Taylor made the sandwich again, which I love because she put so much onions in there.

[Jason Nash]

What? Got the onions again. Okay. With onions.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, he does that.

[Jason Nash]

Keep going, keep going.

[David Dobrik]

I didn't know I'd do that. Normally she doesn't put enough onions in there. But I feel like this time I was like, you should overdo with a big amount of onions. Just like sandwich out of the fridge. Well, something was bizarre about.

[Jason Nash]

It is.

[David Dobrik]

I feel like my taste buds weren't working this morning.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, taste.

[David Dobrik]

But I know taste. I know that it wasn't Covid.

[Jason Nash]

Taste drives the flavor.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. That is what it was.

[Jason Nash]

Last podcast I had to edit for like three hours. I'm like. And J would be.

[Sponsor Voice]

Would be on a run.

[David Dobrik]

Damn. You probably thought there was like two different podcast in there.

[Jason Nash]

I thought there were two podcasts and then you'd be saying something.

[David Dobrik]

Maybe John's recording his side podcast while recording ours. Have you ever seen those TikTok videos? This is like very specific. I don't know if you're going to know what I'm referencing, but when there's like a movie playing underneath the sound of the movie, it'll go. It'll be like dubbed over for the blind almost. It'll be like the woman takes the shackles and on shackles, her hand.

[Jason Nash]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know why they do that. I think they do it for like to. To go. To go around the copyright aspect of TikTok.

[Jason Nash]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

I don't. Because I don't think it's for the. For the blind or. Or anything like that. It's very. Because sometimes it doesn't add up to what's actually going on the screen.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[Ted Danson]

It's almost.

[David Dobrik]

It's almost. So it like throws off the. The copyright of like posting a movie onto TikTok. But that's what you just reminded me of.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, I see. I do in the fruit videos.

[David Dobrik]

But I was. I was. Yeah, in the FR videos. I was talking to. Talking to John yesterday. It was me, John and Scan our filmer.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I was like, cuz we have to go to the Hamptons Tomorrow.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Most like. Most like, I don't know if we're going anymore.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know what's out there.

[David Dobrik]

It's Palm Tree Festival.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. What's that could be like?

[David Dobrik]

It's really fun. I think, like, a lot of people are going.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

It's just like, you just got back. I just got back. This would be my last trip of the summer till August.

[Jason Nash]

All right.

[David Dobrik]

So I think I go to Kenya in August.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

So this is my last trip till then. So full July, being in la, you know, crazy. That's going to be.

[Jason Nash]

That's nice.

[David Dobrik]

That's going to be lit. And I think L. A is having, like, a renaissance.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I think. I think. I actually don't even know if it is, but I know people are saying it is, and I think if you say it enough, it'll happen.

[Jason Nash]

Who's saying that?

[David Dobrik]

A lot of. There's a lot of Tik toks that saying LA is back. And I don't know if everyone's just, like, trying to bring it back by saying it's back.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So I'm gonna join them because I

[Jason Nash]

drove down Sunset Saturday night.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I know.

[Jason Nash]

And it looked like a ghost.

[David Dobrik]

Don't say that. Don't say that. Just say it's back. Just say it's back. And then I think we'll bring it back by manifesting. Anyway, I told John. I was like, john, we're going to. We gotta go to the Hamptons this weekend. He's like, no, I'm not going. I'm not going. I'm not going. I don't think it's beneficial for me to go. And then scan who's my employee is like, yeah, that's a crazy thing to say to your boss when he asks you to go to a certain place that you don't think it's beneficial for you to go.

[Jason Nash]

Why don't you want to go, John? Okay, in my defense, how many days is it? Three?

[David Dobrik]

No, we're originally Friday. We're back Sunday.

[John]

Okay.

[Jason Nash]

Originally.

[John]

Originally, he said, like, Friday to Tuesday.

[David Dobrik]

I never said that.

[John]

Yeah, you did.

[David Dobrik]

I never said that.

[John]

I see the emails, too.

[David Dobrik]

I am part of. I'm not on emails. Dobrik.com Also, I'm not emails.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, yeah, that. That email is totally worthless, by the way. You should know that, because I get emails all the time about stuff like views, podcast recording at 1pm on Wednesday. And then I. I get here and there's a damn dinosaur in the backyard or there's like a. You know there's a tiger sitting in Dave's bedroom. And I'm like, I thought we were doing the pod. Who said that? I got the email. I'm not on email. It's just like made up shit. It's literally. Poor Brooke. Brooke's just doing. Brooke is doing made up shit.

[Ted Danson]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like she's putting random things in the calendar.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, she's putting stuff in the calendar. And then I'll see stuff in the calendar.

[John]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

And.

[John]

But then Natalie reminds me.

[David Dobrik]

Why don't you check it out?

[Sponsor Voice]

Natalie does.

[Scared to Death Podcast Hosts]

That's.

[Jason Nash]

And that's where they get it. Yes, that's where they get it.

[Ted Danson]

Thank you.

[Jason Nash]

Because Natalie thinks the email is real.

[John]

Yes.

[Jason Nash]

But it's not.

[John]

So I believe the email's real.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Natalie's like, Natalie. Natalie keeps thinking the email is real, but it's real.

[David Dobrik]

Well, what time did you get here for the pod?

[Jason Nash]

I got here at 12:30.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. It's 2:00pm yeah, yeah, yeah. I had no idea there was a pot happening.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[John]

It was like, calendar.

[Jason Nash]

And then also on the text last night, we were potting. We were planning for today. And she's answering for you. And I was like, hmm. Unless I see it from you in your text.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah. Never. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

I don't believe any of it.

[David Dobrik]

Don't listen to her fake news. They just say things.

[John]

It's not fake news. It's just that you are a ball of chaos.

[David Dobrik]

No, I'm not. I think I'll tell you when I'm gonna do the pod. I just, like, the answer's never. The answer is I'm gonna avoid it as long as I can.

[Jason Nash]

I learned my lesson. I. I bring my computer.

[John]

But, Jay, there's.

[David Dobrik]

You have to bring, like, hobbies, the six.

[John]

You know, like the six digit, six letter confirmation codes.

[David Dobrik]

No, now I'm doing it. Now I'm doing it. I'm talking under him.

[Jason Nash]

What do you. What do you mean, six letter confirmation?

[John]

You know, like. Like there's a six. Six digit, like, letter code that, like, you already bought the flight.

[David Dobrik]

He's saying like a. You're saying like double confirm?

[John]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, I take that reference.

[Jason Nash]

So you're going.

[John]

No, I'm not going.

[Jason Nash]

I'm sorry, Dave. Is he going?

[David Dobrik]

It's funny. And it's John's friend that's housing us. John has like, this millionaire billionaire friend.

[Jason Nash]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

And he's giving us a house. And John goes. If you make me go, I'm going to call him that. You can't stay with me. I'm like, what the fuck is going on here?

[Jason Nash]

How do you have a billionaire friend, John?

[David Dobrik]

John has a lot of billionaire friends. It's not like there's no way he

[Jason Nash]

has a lot of billionaire friends. That would be at least three.

[John]

Yeah, okay. There's at least three.

[David Dobrik]

At least three.

[Jason Nash]

Three billionaires.

[John]

Yeah. For sure.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

There's no way.

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[John]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

You're kidding.

[David Dobrik]

This is John. This is. This guy's connected. You need to Invest, dude. Fucking SpaceX IPO'd. And he goes. And I go, wow, people are making so much money. He goes, I know. I told you I could get you into before the ipo.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I'm like, what?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

He's like, I told you. I was like, I can. If you want to put any kind of. Any amount of money in, I can get you in before the ipo. I'm like, john, you never said that to me. He's like, yes, I did.

[John]

I told you.

[David Dobrik]

My. My buddy had, like, he was raising money and he asked if you wanted to be in it, and you said no. You don't like investing.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, wow. And now you regret it.

[Dan Cummins]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

His friend made like, how much?

[John]

Well, he made like 10x.

[Jason Nash]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

Over $100 million?

[John]

Yeah, he said, like, he changed his. His friends are just taking care of. For the rest of their family. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

You know, I'm like, john, you ever told me this, but I guess you did. So you gotta listen to John sometimes. Quiet ones.

[John]

I mean, I do say a lot of things though, so. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So it's like you gotta pick.

[John]

You gotta. You gotta sift through it, you know?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Which is impossible. Yeah. In hindsight, it looks stupid. But then if I put myself back in that situation, it was probably also surrounded by like a bunch of nonsense, so. Right. So that's a very hard.

[Jason Nash]

And then didn't it dip after it came out?

[John]

But it doesn't matter.

[Jason Nash]

It doesn't matter.

[John]

Yeah, you're getting. You're getting. You're getting it so low that, like,

[Jason Nash]

at the IPO doesn't matter, right?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no. Yeah. You buy like, it IPO to what, 120?

[John]

Yeah. And it hit like 200, but you're

[David Dobrik]

buying it at like $30 from the company. So the second it comes out, you've already 4x. Yeah, that's. What. That's.

[Jason Nash]

Why didn't you buy some?

[David Dobrik]

I don't think you had enough money for that.

[John]

I don't have enough money for that. There's minimums.

[David Dobrik]

You have to like, like 100 or a million dollars?

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, $100,000 or a million? Yeah, but like your million will turn into 10.

[Jason Nash]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

It's pretty crazy.

[Jason Nash]

I don't like hearing stories like that.

[David Dobrik]

I hate it too. It's me upset invest and it's such a headache and it takes you away from everything. That's why even if he did bring it to me, bring it up to me.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I was like, please do not talk to me about investing. I've lost every time. I don't want to hear it. But now I changed my mind. If your friend wants to hit me up to invest, take all my money.

But like this business vlog I've been filming and hang out with Jared Leto. Jared Leto was not there, unfortunately. Yeah, I was like the first can we went to is all the celebs. This year was less celebs and more influencers. I'm trying to think like what celebrities that were there. You had your like diplos. Yeah, that's kind of it, actually.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Not that many. Okay. Some F1 drivers, but that's I think because they lived there and they were like having their off time.

[Jason Nash]

Did you film the business log in can?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So I started it here. I got like some behind the scenes. I showed all the people that work with us behind the scenes. Like Brooke, you know, Charlie, Halle.

[Jason Nash]

Nice.

[David Dobrik]

They were bitching to John. It's fun. It was really fun going. It was really fun going into it because it was like, like it's kind of like a low key vlog.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then I got to talk to Dhar Mann, which is really fun.

[Jason Nash]

Oh yeah, I know Dhar Mann.

[David Dobrik]

He's nice. I mean Dhar Mann. And he was just like. It was funny because he was like, this isn't going in the vlog. This is the business vlog. Like this is different. I don't, I don't know where I'll put it. I'll start. I started it with the idea of it going on second channel.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But it's got one of those things to it where like it may end up on the main. It just depends on how like how much people want to see it.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

If they really want to. If they think. If you guys think this is a good idea, I'll put it on main. But I'm like halfway through it because our workweek's not done. So I'm just like filming my entire workweek.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But also my other problem is there's not much business going on.

[Jason Nash]

I'm not making any money.

[David Dobrik]

So it's like. Well, it's like we go to a meeting with like.

[Jason Nash]

Can you film a meeting? I guess is my question.

[David Dobrik]

We just get B roll. No, we're not filming inside the meeting.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then we like we, we leave the meeting and then it's like, like Microsoft was showing us like some secret stuff.

[Jason Nash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

So like we couldn't had the camera in the meeting. But like it was far away enough where you couldn't see what they were showing us.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But like when we leave the meeting, we don't even like we didn't even tell the audience what happened. We were kind of just like, meeting went well. Like so I'm like, it's not really. I don't know how to. I don't know. Dhar Mann really saved me.

[Jason Nash]

What do you say?

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I asked him about how he's so successful.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Darman's like the king of Facebook and makes like, I don't know, five, $10 million a month off Facebook.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like really something. Just astronomical. And I talked to him about that and he's yeah, he really saved the. Really saved the business aspect.

[Jason Nash]

Will he teach you anything?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but I want to save for the vlog, dude. All the secrets he taught. And then I ran to Keith Lee.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

That's the big food reviewer.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Did you eat anything with him?

[Ted Danson]

No.

[David Dobrik]

Dude, I can't do French food.

[Jason Nash]

You don't like French food?

[David Dobrik]

No. It's like. It really is crazy.

[Jason Nash]

You're not a French onion soup guy.

[David Dobrik]

No, I don't even cargo. No, I can't even, like, really wrap my head around it. I actually don't think, like, European food is that good. I know people go like, you got to go to Italy for the pasta and pizza.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[John]

But, like, we have the best pasta and pizza.

[David Dobrik]

I hate. I hate to be that guy. I saw TikTok once, and I'm like. And I've fully, like, converted my brain to it. Someone was like, it's pasta. Like, well, the. It's good.

[Jason Nash]

The difference.

[David Dobrik]

Vented it or whatever. But, like, we've adopted. No, we have Italians here.

[Jason Nash]

The difference is, is how it processes in your body. That's the difference.

[John]

Okay.

[Jason Nash]

Fair play to pasta over there. Like, you don't feel horrible. You know, you don't feel bad.

[David Dobrik]

I don't think I'm at that age where I'm feeling things like that. So maybe I don't have that person.

[Jason Nash]

Maybe not.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I go to Olive Garden and I feel like I could fucking run a marathon.

[Jason Nash]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

I don't know about that one.

[John]

I'd run a marathon in the bathroom.

[David Dobrik]

Bathroom. Yeah. So we did that. And this was our. This is our third and final time to Cannes.

[Jason Nash]

Why is this your final time?

[David Dobrik]

Well, just for the year. Remember? We had to go three times this month. And then we went to the club. We partied. We partied pretty late. And then we got. We went.

[Jason Nash]

How late? How late?

[David Dobrik]

How late?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, how late you stay out?

[David Dobrik]

Well, we went straight P to P2P.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So we went party to plane to Paramount.

[Jason Nash]

Okay. Okay.

[David Dobrik]

So we went from the part. We left the party at like, 4.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Then got home at like, 4:30, ordered food.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Packed. And then headed to the airport at six.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then flight took off like eight.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

And it connected at. In Paris, which is the worst airport on the face of earth ever been to. It's just the way.

[John]

Terrible.

[David Dobrik]

It's. The way it's set up is like a maze. You're walking for miles. And it's all, like. Not all, but most of it is glass. So you're like, in A magnifying glass in the summer.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I don't think AC is that big in Europe.

[Jason Nash]

I heard it's having a heat wave over there.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. And it's really fudgeing hot.

[Jason Nash]

Was it hot in Cannes?

[David Dobrik]

It's never been this hot.

[Jason Nash]

Oh really?

[David Dobrik]

The people are sweating through. Yeah. Everyone looks like they're like. Like there's little. There was drops of sweat coming down people's. And it's kind of tough. It actually made it easier for me though because I have sweaty hands. So like when I was shaking people's hands, we were all equals. So I kind of like that. But it was, it was very. Like we were all drenched. But it's kind of crazy. Like I'm pretty good at like when I. Like when we went for the business vlog. Right. So I had a couple panels I had to do, blah, blah, blah. But like my panels didn't start to like 3 or 4pm Like Adam W. Went out with us. He was out with us till 4am and then. And then had to wake up at 8am oh my God. And then, and then one of the guys that works at Microsoft was out with us like 4:30am and he had to get up at 6am and for a full day of work. Not like what I'm doing.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like I do two panels. They are. They have probably like 12 to 15 meetings that day.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

It's just some people just like really operate on a different level. Really, really nice to see all that.

[Jason Nash]

And then what happened to Jackass? Would you get paid for the panels?

[David Dobrik]

Paid for the pan?

[Ted Danson]

It's.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, because they pay. I went with Snap.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So Snap pays me. But I really break even on the trip.

[Jason Nash]

Got it. To get your own flight and stuff.

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Sponsor Voice]

I see.

[David Dobrik]

Well, they pay me like such a really good fee.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But it's extremely expensive to be in Cannes. It's extremely expensive.

[Jason Nash]

Okay. Okay.

[David Dobrik]

So like gets close to like to breaking the game.

[Jason Nash]

And Dave's not staying at the Best Western.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I'm not even staying at the hotels because the way the hotels work is a fucking. It's a monopoly there. Cannes Lions buys all the hotels on the Strip.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

And just to unlock the website of where you can buy. So like let's say you have the Marriott there, right? That's one of the hotels is the JW Marriott. For you to even access the rooms and pay the south of France rate, which is like 2,000 a night.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

You have to buy a Cannes Lions pass for that week. And that passes $10,000.

[John]

Oh, no way.

[David Dobrik]

So per room, if I'm going Natalie, her pass is 10 grand. My pass is 10 grand. If I bring John 10 grand.

[Jason Nash]

What?

[David Dobrik]

And that's. You're not. You haven't paid for the room yet. You've just unlocked the ability to buy a room.

[John]

There's no way.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Dead ass. It's like, it's. It's really, really crazy. But it goes. It's like this every year and you can't book. I even thought to myself, like, maybe if I book, like, I tried booking this year's like right after. Can line it last year, but it's. It's year round. They have it blocked. You cannot buy hotels in this time because can Lyon, I think buys it year to year.

[John]

That is so crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's crazy, but I mean, it's like really the hotspot to be on that strip. Like, it is like, if you're there, you're like in the. It's like the most opposite version of Hollywood Boulevard ever. Like, you're in the middle of everything. But it's all like, so productive. Everyone's like, like, next year I'm going to. I told Natalie she should go by herself. Like, I feel like I hold her back.

[Jason Nash]

Like, why?

[David Dobrik]

So, like, I think she could go and not, like, go and party and stuff and like, actually go do the proper meetings.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, wow.

[David Dobrik]

I, like, I did like three meetings and two panels when Natalie could do 10 meetings in a day easily. So I think that's what I'm gonna do next.

[Jason Nash]

So would you stay in an Airbnb?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, Airbnb still very expensive. Like 20 minutes outside the city.

[Jason Nash]

Mm.

[David Dobrik]

But like, just really good vibes. But even that Airbnb was. What was 20, $20,000?

[Jason Nash]

25,000.

[David Dobrik]

20 to 25, actually. Yeah.

[John]

You didn't have it covered at all.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, John, but that, when people say that, it fucking makes me so stressed.

[John]

Why?

[David Dobrik]

It's like, that's still my money. Do you understand? But like, I know always my money.

[John]

Like, well, when I say covered, like, did someone pitch in or something to help you offset all.

[David Dobrik]

What do you mean? No, like, Natalie, like a brand or any. Yes, John, but how do I make money? How do I make money? I get so frustrated. People say this, like, when they're like, yeah, but Sea Geek bought the car. It's like, that is the only way I make money is seatgeek. That is like. That's like, literally, that's like you working at McDonald's and me being like, yeah, but your McDonald's wage bought that money. Like, yes. If I don't know, like John, I

[John]

mean, by like Johnny, you don't have to front the money.

[David Dobrik]

I'll even, I'll even do it in bigger standards. If you're a dj, okay, and you're flying private jet to Vegas, that is your money you're spending. That is not the casino.

[John]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

That's the money that could be in your pocket, but the casino is going like, we're going to pay you $1 million less for the year and we'll fly you private. That's your money. That is your choice to make.

[John]

Okay?

[David Dobrik]

That's it. Does that make sense?

[Jason Nash]

Dylan Francis goes southwest.

[David Dobrik]

That's why Dylan Francis goes southwest. It's like, yeah, I could easily fly private.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But all of that's coming from me. Like, it's, it's, it's. That is his money, is the casino's money. So I do the same thing.

[John]

Oh, I guess. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

I know what John's asking. John's saying, snap. Snap. Paid you, but they didn't cover your lodging.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but they do because they're paying me. It's, it's.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Both are correct.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But it's just, you know, I mean,

[Jason Nash]

someone else might have said, oh, yeah, and we're going to put you up and we're going to pay you.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, no, but. And we're going to put you up is. That's not ever a thing. And we're gonna put you up. Can easily be turned.

[Jason Nash]

I've had jobs where they put me up. They pay for flight, hotel, and they pay Jay.

[Sponsor Voice]

Jay.

[David Dobrik]

But that's not, that's. That can easily be you going, no, thank you. That happens to us all the time where they wanna also put us up. But we're like, no, we're gonna stay with a friend. So we go, no, thank you. Give me that budget instead. I'll book things myself. That is a budget. That is already your money that they're putting. It's not like they have imaginary pixie dust money to spend on hotels.

[Jason Nash]

Sure, sure.

[David Dobrik]

That is your money already. That, that should be part of your budget, but you're choosing it to go to your lodging and your first class travel. You could easily go. If sea geeks flying you out first class somewhere, you could go, no, thank you. Fly me economy and just send me the money. And you book economy. That's all your money.

[Jason Nash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

It's never, it's never a situation where it's just magical new money that has appeared from the Brand. It's never that.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[John]

But I feel like sometimes they can get like a block discount.

[David Dobrik]

The only way it's magical money is if the hotel is hiring you for the job and is. And it is the hotel that's giving you a free room because they own the infrastructure. But like, other than that, it's. It could always be your money.

[Jason Nash]

Then what. What happened at Jackass?

[David Dobrik]

Jackass. We. I met up with Steve O. Again, which is really nice.

[Jason Nash]

Nice.

[David Dobrik]

I got to meet Bam Margera's parents.

[Jason Nash]

Nice.

[John]

Bam wasn't there. Huh?

[David Dobrik]

Bam wasn't there. And then. Yeah, it was really fun. Steve Ost. Stevo. Steve O. Hit me up like a week and a half before and was like, hey, you want to FaceTime me? We should do a bit where I put a hook through my mouth. And I'm like, that sounds like fucking amazing. But shouldn't we do that on video? Yeah. And he's like, okay, you're right. So then he saved it for the premiere. Thank God. Because on FaceTime it would be so bizarre. But it was just like. It's just a funny, funny thing. Like, could you imagine like if you had to put a hook, like a fish hook. You put a fish hook through his mouth. And like, if I had to do that, I'd like, want to make sure that I have the absolute best HD camera filming me not throwing it on FaceTime. Yes. He's done so many stunts where that's like not difficult for him.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Like, that's so funny. Just Steve O on FaceTime. Just like. All right, man. That's cool.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

All right.

[David Dobrik]

All right.

[Jason Nash]

Lunch.

[David Dobrik]

His food is pouring through his cheek that he put a hole in. Yeah. No. So we, we got to go do the premiere, which is really nice. It's on the Paramount lot. Yeah. We've had a real business filled day and not. And then we have to. So we may fly to the Hamptons and then we fly to Utah for a do meeting and then that's it. And that's the whole vlog. I don't know where it'll go or how it'll live.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But that's kind of my vibe.

[Jason Nash]

That's nice.

[David Dobrik]

What's new with you?

[Jason Nash]

I was in the convenience store the other night when Naveen was out of town. And I. I got my snacks. I got one Liquid Death and I got a bag of Smart Pop. So I went. I went up and I was like really tired. And I went up to the guy and the guy looks at me and he goes, 9 11. Like that. And I was like, what? He goes. He goes. He was Middle Eastern. He goes, 9, 11.

[Ted Danson]

Like that.

[Jason Nash]

What? What are you saying? And he goes, the price. And I looked down and it was $9.11.

[John]

Oh, wow.

[Jason Nash]

And I was like, oh, my God. I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

[David Dobrik]

That is exactly like the moment that you would panic.

[John]

That's really funny.

[Jason Nash]

So funny.

[David Dobrik]

That's really funny.

[John]

I was trying to figure out where you're going with it, honestly.

[David Dobrik]

Yo, Smart pops kind of tough, huh?

[Jason Nash]

What's wrong with Smart Pop?

[David Dobrik]

Because it's like, it's healthy for you, but that. That fucks you up. Because then you just, like, down the whole bag.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I've never. Yeah, I ate the whole bag.

[David Dobrik]

You've never had Smart Pop?

[John]

I don't know what it is.

[David Dobrik]

It's popcorn. It's the popcorn that's in those bags. That looks so comfy. Oh, yeah. It's like a pretty higher quality. It's like the second you have a little bit, it's fucking game over.

[John]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

You don't feel that way about Doritos?

[David Dobrik]

Well, that's why I like unhealthy food. And I found this to be true. When I eat healthy, I snack like a motherfucker. Because I'm still, like, missing that. Like, you eat more.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, missing that hit.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, that hit. Yeah, that hit. Yeah. I'm missing the stuffed. Yeah, this up stuff's in my stomach. And then I completely just overeat.

[Jason Nash]

You working out at all while all these. All this traveling?

[John]

Yeah. Are you working on it?

[David Dobrik]

All right, Shut the up.

[Jason Nash]

Is John holding it over your head now that he's training for Zela, is he looking at you differently, like a sloth?

[David Dobrik]

No, no.

[Jason Nash]

You look down upon Dave now.

[David Dobrik]

I don't get this. John's second Zelo transformation.

[John]

Okay, dude, it's not.

[Sponsor Voice]

Why?

[Jason Nash]

What's wrong with the second transformation?

[David Dobrik]

Well, because they're saying they're doing it differently this time, but, like, it still seems pretty. They still have a crazy. When's your deadline? December, New Year's Eve. Yeah, that's crazy. And what shape are you supposed to get into? How much do you weigh right now, John?

[John]

Actually, not as he's. I'm not dropping as as much.

[David Dobrik]

How much you weigh right now?

[John]

230 flat.

[David Dobrik]

And what does he want you to be?

[John]

I think 185.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, wait.

[John]

Five is not bad.

[David Dobrik]

That's not horrible.

[John]

165 was crazy.

[David Dobrik]

That's what you were before.

[John]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. That shit was scary. Okay, one, I didn't know that. I thought you were trying to go back to 165 again.

[John]

No, no, no, no, no.

[David Dobrik]

And I was like, that's just one.

[John]

65. Was like, dude, even I said that was like. Okay, I was a little much.

[Jason Nash]

Would you ever do it? Would Ilya ever do a transformation without the abs? Just like somebody.

[David Dobrik]

This is one.

[John]

I think this is one.

[Ted Danson]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

185.

[John]

185 is like. Is just right under like 16, 17 body fat.

[David Dobrik]

That's 10 pounds heavier than me. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I actually found out something about myself. I wrote it down looking through my notes. Wow, that's gonna be a little jumbled. Cause I wrote it down quick because I think I was sleeping. When people ask me what I like to do for fun, I always say nothing and Staying at home.

[Jason Nash]

Right. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

This has been a thing. Right. Like, I always say this, and I think this is because in my head, the meaning of the word fun has changed for me because my work is actual, conventional fun. So when people ask me what I like to do for fun, I answer in a way that's almost answering the question of what do you like to do when you're not working? Right.

[John]

Which is.

[David Dobrik]

And the answer to that is nothing.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Does that make sense?

[John]

Makes sense.

[David Dobrik]

So, like, I think. I know it's kind of like the obvious, but I think I put it into words like my fun is already work. And I associate that question, what do you like to do with fun? With peop. It's almost synonymous to what do you like to do when you're not working?

[Jason Nash]

Alien, you sound like right now. You know what an alien you sound like right now.

[David Dobrik]

Well, yeah, I have, like an alien of a job. I have the craziest job in the world.

[Jason Nash]

But that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You should have an answer. You should have some interests that are outside of your work so you can. So you have an answer. That isn't so.

[David Dobrik]

But my interest is work.

[Jason Nash]

That's not good.

[David Dobrik]

What. What the fuck are you saying?

[Jason Nash]

I don't like that.

[David Dobrik]

How do you not like that?

[Jason Nash]

I think that you should.

[David Dobrik]

What about like a basketball player?

[Jason Nash]

Why don't you be a little more well rounded? Exactly. A basketball player will be like, obviously I love the game of basketball, but I also. I also like to paint. Or I like. What I'm saying is, why don't you get some hobbies outside? So when someone asks you, you can say, you know what? I love to drive my cars.

[John]

I love to.

[Jason Nash]

You know, I've actually taken up crochet, stuff like that. Or say. Or say pickleball.

[David Dobrik]

But why is nothing not acceptable?

[John]

Because it's like a boring answer.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but it's so lit.

[John]

To us, yes, it makes sense to us, but to other people it doesn't.

[Jason Nash]

Very good, John. Yeah, exactly. We all understand you. But if, say you're meeting somebody at a party, it's like when you tell me and I'm like, weird. At a party. I'm telling you right now.

[David Dobrik]

We're at a party if someone asks. But then I go, I just really like sitting around on the couch with my friends. That's what I say.

[Jason Nash]

That's. That's okay. But. But what if you. What if you said. What if you said, so good, you know what I've gotten into bird Watching. And it's incredible. Something like that. You know what I mean?

[David Dobrik]

Maybe this could also be paired with the fact that I don't love small talk, so I don't know.

[John]

You're really good at small talk, though.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but I just don't like doing it.

[Jason Nash]

What's wrong with small talk?

[John]

Small talk, it depends on the initial. The initial conversation.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Some people are really bad at small talk. It's actually kind of like in. Can you see it a lot? It's really funny.

[Jason Nash]

Give me an example.

[David Dobrik]

I can't give you anything. Some people just, like, don't. I like your hat. Ah, thanks. I just got it from, like, dairy Boy. I think my friend just launched a new brand.

[John]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. They'll be really excited you said that. I don't know what it means, so don't even ask me what it means. I basically wear the hat to cover my hairline.

[Jason Nash]

Do the amount of pain that goes through my entire body when I watch you in small talk.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, why? Like, watch me?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. If I ever see you in an interaction, and I could be wrong, but in my. In my soul, I'm like, wait, why?

[David Dobrik]

Why me?

[Jason Nash]

Oh, Dave. Oh, man. Poor guys. Does not want to be in that conversation. Because. Because I can tell that you're just like, I don't want to be having this conversation.

[John]

We know.

[David Dobrik]

It's really funny. There's like. There's no rhyme or reason to what small talk I like, and I don't like.

[Jason Nash]

Well, give me an example of some small talk that you liked.

[David Dobrik]

Like, it could be something. It could honestly be like, someone came up to me the other day and they were like, my cousin was in one of your vlogs.

[Jason Nash]

That's good.

[David Dobrik]

And I'm. But in theory, it's like, what. What does that mean? Your cousin? But I like that for some reason.

[Jason Nash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

Like that. I really like people that, like, reference a specific moment in the videos. I also don't mind when you just take a picture with me and you move on your day. I'm not offended. Yeah, I'm not offended without small talk. I'm offended when there's small talk. I hate. I hate when people feel the need that they have to do small talk. That's. That's the only thing that I hate. Like, just do whatever's natural to you. I hate when someone's like, let's take a picture. I think I've mentioned this before. And I go, yeah, let's do it. And then they're like, wait, I'm so sorry. How Are you like, what is it? What, like, fucking syllabus Are you following right now? Like, what I was.

[Jason Nash]

What are you trying to wrong with that? Nothing wrong with that. No, I know, but, like, checking in.

[David Dobrik]

I know, but I just. Oh, my God.

[Jason Nash]

Being a human for a second.

[David Dobrik]

Dude, I was in. I was in. Where was I? Where was I? I was at the French airport. And this was really crazy. Cause I'm usually, like, really good with people that are like. That are working.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I was like. I went to a store and I was like, do you guys take Amex? And the woman looks at me and she goes, um, good morning. And I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. Good morning. Which I don't know which I get. But I'm like, I'm at an airport where there's like 300 people. Like, I would think that she's, like, gassed. Right. And I was gonna get right to it. Yeah. It was really strange. I went to Natalie right away. I was like, you won't believe this conversation I just had. And I was like, did I up there was. Should I have.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. Maybe you said.

[John]

Did you say. You said hi, right? Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John]

Hi. Do you take DJ game?

[David Dobrik]

But it was really strange.

[John]

I got nothing.

[Jason Nash]

Had that happen to me.

[David Dobrik]

It's the last place I would expect anybody to want. Especially the French.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I feel like they don't like small talk.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So I was like, right to the point. I'm not going to waste this person's time. We're at an airport. I don't know. Maybe that's crazy. But. Yeah. No, I do like. I like any other. I like. I like all kinds of small talk. I just don't. I don't like when people feel the need to force it just to be polite. Like, you don't need to do that.

[Jason Nash]

How are you with silences? When you meet somebody, that's one thing. I've gotten better at it with age. Like, if there's a silence, I'm just. I'm good. I can sit in it. I used to not be able to when I was younger.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I think. I think that's a serious superpower.

[Jason Nash]

You think so?

[John]

Silence and is a conversation itself, which is like. I was like, wow.

[David Dobrik]

I also, like, I learned this four years ago. Like, when you're talking to people, it's so nice to be really relaxed.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And like. I don't know how to describe it, but, like, I almost. In my head when I'm relaxed and I'm in, like, in a flow state with a person. I imagine their words curving around my head like a racetrack. Like, just smoothly coming around my head. And that's how I imagine, like, a conversation with them. And I hear somebody that relaxes. I listen to. No. Anybody could do it.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

But it's just like, Zane. Zane does not relax me when I talk to him. Zane is the most stressful. I've known Zane for 10 years. Yeah. And it still feels like I'm, like, talking to the principal where I'm like, I gotta fucking lock in here. Let's do one wrong thing. I'm going to detention.

[Jason Nash]

What about Natalie? You ever do it with Natalie?

[David Dobrik]

I'm saying, like, random people.

[Jason Nash]

Sure, sure.

[David Dobrik]

Like, it's like. It's really nice to be relaxed. But. Yes. Silence is, like, so big. Especially when you're at a party.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

The toughest thing that I'm still having, like, I'm used to is, like, leaving a conversation. Like, that's really difficult for me. Like, I always want to. I always walk. I always want to walk away on the best part of the conversation.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I don't like when people don't know that I'm trying to end a conversation. That's frustrating. When you're like. When your feet are positioned the other way.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[John]

And then they're like, your body's turned

[David Dobrik]

and they're still asking you, like, new words to pull you in. I find that kind of bizarre.

[Scared to Death Podcast Hosts]

It's.

[Jason Nash]

It's nice when you have encumberments in your life, because that's always a reason. Like, I'll be at a party here, and I'll be like, oh, I gotta go check on Naveen. Which I actually do.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, look. You've reasons.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Yeah. I've gotta grab Naveen a drink. This was fun. I'll be back. I'll see you in a minute.

[David Dobrik]

Yo, you've hit me with that a lot.

[John]

Good one, Jay. That's a really good one.

[Jason Nash]

My kids are calling.

[David Dobrik]

My kids.

[Jason Nash]

I'm so sorry. My daughter's calling. Incredible.

[John]

What could I say? What could I say? Then?

[Jason Nash]

I gotta check on Julia.

[John]

I gotta check on Dave.

[Jason Nash]

Don't say that.

[David Dobrik]

That's really funny.

[Jason Nash]

You know what? Julia wanted me to do something. I'll be right back.

[John]

I'll be right back.

[Jason Nash]

It's incredible. You know what I love?

[David Dobrik]

I can't imagine that rolling off John's tongue.

[Jason Nash]

I love. I love when I'm at him, I'm

[John]

like, I gotta get the out.

[Jason Nash]

I love when I'm at a Party here. And I'm with people that I don't have to say anything.

[John]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

It's so good.

[Jason Nash]

It's like an island.

[David Dobrik]

I always find those people.

[Jason Nash]

I love it. I'll like, I'll come over and I'll. I'll stand next to Ella.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I also.

[Jason Nash]

I don't have to say anything.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Jason Nash]

So sex.

[David Dobrik]

Ella, back to your silence thing. Exactly what you're saying now. It's also like I love the people that I can even. Even if they're not like your island. Even if it's not like a joke, like Joe Vulpas. You can sit next to nothing.

[Jason Nash]

Great, great island.

[John]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

And he'll say random things and you'll just be like, yes or no. Whatever. But even if it's like a kind of a newer person. If you could just, if you go, I just like, I want to sit here and be quiet. Like not, not that, but like. Do you know what I mean? Like you let them know of why you're coming. Be like, I just need a place to sit. I'm exhausted.

[Jason Nash]

That's good. That's good. I like that.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I like that.

[Jason Nash]

Can I chill here for a sec?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I'm.

[Jason Nash]

I'm just saying I need to.

[David Dobrik]

I'm so tired of talking. I need to sit down.

[Jason Nash]

Would you do that to a stranger?

[David Dobrik]

Yes, probably. I did that to actually, it's really. It's really easy to do with elderly people, obviously.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, incredible.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Because they're like there are already people watching and it's just. Yeah. And it's really comfortable to sit next to an older person.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. They're on their way out.

[David Dobrik]

Especially like an old aunt. Like a 70 year old aunt that doesn't really want to talk. That's the vibe.

[Jason Nash]

Hey, you know, Naveen's little sister is visiting us this week and we figured out that this six year old is Charlie's aunt.

[John]

Wait, oh my God.

[David Dobrik]

Even though Charlie's Naveen has a six year old sister?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. So she's staying with us for a week while her dad's in Mexico. And we were off. We were all out the other day. We were dying laughing. Charlie was like, wait a minute, you're my aunt. And then the six year old was like, I'm your aunt. It was so funny. Isn't that interesting?

[David Dobrik]

No. What's crazier is that that's your sister in law.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. That's crazy too. We were making that check too. That's my sister.

[David Dobrik]

Six year old.

[John]

Hey, how are you?

[David Dobrik]

Sister in law.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, that's Wait, Naveen's dad had a kid? And how. Second wife.

[David Dobrik]

She's 33. One.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know how old Naveen is.

[Ted Danson]

What?

[David Dobrik]

But she's 30s, right?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, she's either 33 or 34 or 32. I can't remember.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, and then how old's her dad?

[Jason Nash]

Probably like 63.

[Sponsor Voice]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

And this is a new wife?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my gosh. That's crazy.

[John]

You can't even call you Uncle Nash.

[Jason Nash]

No. Damn, she's really fun, too.

[John]

What up, Jason?

[Jason Nash]

Hey, can I. Let me ask you something.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, that's wild. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Let me ask you something. This is kind of a wild thought, and I thought maybe you'd relate to this. Have you ever. Have you ever, like, been in your. This has happened to me maybe like three or four times in my life. Have you ever been in, like, alone. You're all alone, and then in your mind you start to, like, freak out about, like, who you are. And I don't mean who you are, like David Dobrik, the YouTuber. I mean, like, do you ever, like, disconnect and you're like. Or you ever just freak out? Cause you're like, oh, my God, I'm me. I'm me. I'm me. But. But like, I can't even put it into words.

[David Dobrik]

I'm me. I me.

[Jason Nash]

Like, you start to freak out because you're like, it doesn't happen when I'm with other people. It happens when I'm alone and I'm like, oh, my God, I'm me.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I've mentioned this before, that sometimes I'm having thoughts where I can break out of my body.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Are you saying something?

[Jason Nash]

Something like that? Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Cuz you made fun of me last time I said this. Like, I've been really close. Like, almost feeling like I'm breaking out of my body.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like going into third person, hovering over my body. But then I realize that I'm thinking about it and I shatter that whole illusion.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. I guess I was doing the same thing and I made fun of you for it. Yeah, See, you were disassociating.

[David Dobrik]

I've rubbed off on you.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. This has happened to me a few times in my life. And then I'm like. And then I start to think about myself and I'm like, oh, my God, like, what? Like, that's me.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I would think that too if I found out I was you.

[Ted Danson]

No.

[David Dobrik]

Are you ever on the road? Are you ever on the road? And you're like, I'm going to run into this car at 100 miles per hour and it's going to open a portal somewhere. You ever think that to yourself?

[Jason Nash]

No, I don't think that.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God. I think that every time I have a group of friends in my car, I'm like, I have so many friends in my car. How cool would it be if I just turned to all of them and be like, just trust me on this. And then ran through, like a part in the. Either in the highway or another car or a tree at 100 miles per hour. And then we ended up in some white portal. And I was like, check this out. I told you. I just had a gut feeling about this.

[John]

Yeah. And I'd be like, we're all dead. That's what. That's a portal he took us to.

[Jason Nash]

We did that once on acid. That was the closest thing I can relate to that is we were on acid. We drove through a cornfield.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

That's. What. Who's driving?

[Jason Nash]

My friend was driving and we just. He was just like, let's go.

[David Dobrik]

But that's different because a cornfield is like kind of a funny place to drive through. No.

[Jason Nash]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

People like doing that.

[John]

It's pretty scary too, though.

[David Dobrik]

Even though I could never imagine doing that. That one scene from Interstellar where they almost hit the tractor.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Freaks me out so much. Yeah. How the fuck do they. How the fuck did they not hit the tractor? I don't know. It's like such a small part of the movie, but for some reason I think about that so much, John. If I ran us into a big tree, 100 miles per hour and we got to heaven.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And it's kick ass.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Second we get there, it's like everything you've ever wanted. Jollibee?

[John]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

Can't get fat. Unlimited infinity pools, Everything. Yeah. Would you be mad?

[John]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[John]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

Even if it's incredible?

[John]

100. No, not even. I'm not even joking. 100%.

[Jason Nash]

What if they.

[David Dobrik]

What if the gifts kept coming?

[John]

I would have some resentment and until, like, you'd have to convince me for like a full year or something. Well.

[David Dobrik]

But I'd be like, dude, your parents are going to be here in like 15 years. Like.

[John]

Yeah, but I'm like, I could still be with them.

[David Dobrik]

But you'll be with them for eternity when they get.

[John]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jason Nash]

But like, you're not with them.

[John]

But I'm not with them right now.

[Jason Nash]

They live in Chicago.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. You're not with them right now. They're in Chicago. So it's basically. It's kind of like I already crashed you into that tree and brought you to la.

[John]

I still talk to my parents, like,

[David Dobrik]

twice a week, but what if you could still let you communicate with them as a ghost? Like, you can knock shit over at the house and they'll be like, is that John? But you'll never be able to say anything. They'll just think it's you. Do you believe in things like that? Well, you're like such an atheist where you're gonna say, no, but, John, do you believe in things?

[Jason Nash]

Don't do that. Don't say what I'm gonna say next on this podcast. I know idea what's in my brain.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. When, like, people get married.

[Jason Nash]

So stupid.

[David Dobrik]

When people get married and like, a dove comes or like a butterfly comes and lands.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

On the person. And then people will be like, that's your dead mom being at the wedding. Like, she promised you. Like, do you believe in that stuff?

[Jason Nash]

Depends. Depends how good it is.

[David Dobrik]

It's really good.

[Jason Nash]

I could go that way if it's really good. If the dove comes down in a blue jacket that you're, you know, it's the same color as your dog's blue jacket, you know, I'd be like, maybe.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I do believe in that. But there was. There was one the other day where they went to go spread someone's ashes in a lake, and they were like, proof that my mom is still with us. It's the ashes spelled out I love you. At least that's what the caption said.

[John]

Oh, wow.

[David Dobrik]

But all the comments were like, that doesn't say I love you. Like, all the comments were like, you guys are making shit up. Like, that doesn't even say a single word. So, yeah, there are. I guess there are some where I'm like, I don't know, maybe it was.

[John]

I've had that. I've had that, though. Like, I think for my grandpa's funeral, there was, like, little orbs around for all the photos we took in front of the casket.

[David Dobrik]

You're a big orb guy.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But isn't that just dust?

[John]

That's what I thought, too. But, like, it doesn't happen anywhere else,

[Jason Nash]

like, other than those jollibee dust.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's not dust from all the leftover fried chicken.

[John]

I don't know, man. I don't know, dude. I don't. I don't think so.

[David Dobrik]

Which, honestly, in some regard, would still be a sign of his grandpa. Yeah. Enjoying the jollibee. Shooting up the fried chicken back up to heaven. John, where do you think we go after when we die?

[John]

I think we go to heaven.

[David Dobrik]

Wow.

[John]

I would hope. I would hope.

[David Dobrik]

What about Natalie? God, Tough question, right?

[John]

Tough question.

[David Dobrik]

I don't want to put you on the spot, but we all, we all know where she goes.

[John]

This is technically her heaven right now.

[Jason Nash]

Welcome to her home.

[John]

Is it mean that we talk about

[David Dobrik]

Natalie like that when she's not here? Yeah, yeah, but she has to listen to this before it goes up. So she basically approves it, you know, I mean, she gives her stamp of approval right on the pod. Is it not right? For sure. I don't think you should ever talk about someone when they're not in the room. Yeah, like when they're your best friend. I think it's fine. But yeah, no, I could totally see why that would be wrong.

[John]

Well, we'll see.

[David Dobrik]

We'll see how she feels. If it's in the podcast, it means she agrees with it and she's gonna.

[John]

Hell.

[David Dobrik]

All right, guys, listen. That is all the time we have for today. This has been a great episode with my best buds. We're gonna get Natalie in the next one. Buckle in. The next one's going to be from Los Angeles again. We're here to stay, baby. More LA stories coming right at ya. Thank you for everything and we'll see you guys soon. Bye.
