On today's podcast, David, Jason and John talk about David's big night out in LA where no phones were allowed, how Jason participated in a Senior scavenger hunt with a big celeb, and how John has just about had it traveling the world. Also, David and Jason argue about Hollywood's wage gap and the movie "Obsession," David gets ready for a star studded pickleball event, and what it's like growing up in LA. And a little bit later, David and Jason tackle the topic of going to college vs. joining the real world right out of high school. And a professional partner gives David the secret to staying out late (and it's not what you think.)

Jay
What's up, guys?
Dave
Welcome back to Views. If you hear a little more happiness in my voice, it's because Natalie's not here for this episode.
Jay
Oh, amazing. So I'll get the ire.
Dave
Yeah. What's that mean?
Jay
I'll get your wrath.
Dave
What's that mean? I'm just kidding. You know what's sick about me and you doing a podcast together?
Jay
Our age difference.
Dave
It's. Yeah, that's the main. That's actually the main selling point.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
But it's not becoming too much of an age difference now.
Jay
Yeah, I know. Isn't that funny how life works? Because I saw you today. I came in, you, you had tea.
Dave
That was not me. That was Taylor.
Jay
That was Tay. But you have been having tea.
Dave
I have been having tea, yeah. I still do think, though, that there is an age difference. I'm. I was just kind of being funny by saying that.
Jay
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it gets less and less.
Dave
I want to make it clear. I do feel a lot younger than you.
Jay
You do?
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Really? You don't look it up.
Dave
29. I still have a 20 in front of my name. You look and you know what they
Jay
say, you look 39.
Dave
30 is the new 20.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
So I was trying to think of, like, themes for my birthday this year.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
We're doing south of France theme.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Which is like.
Jay
Which has been four times this year.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
But go ahead.
Dave
And remember how I said we were going to cancel the trip last pod?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
We're not.
Jay
I was just on the call. I got the download.
Dave
Really?
Jay
You're not canceling the trip?
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
You're going to go. I'm going to make it. Tell me if this vlog is interesting to you.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
I'm going to film it. It'll just be me and Natalie.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
I'm not gonna film it. But we're bringing Filmer.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And it'll be a vlog of my work week.
Jay
That's fun.
Dave
So it won't be, like, funny.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
But it'll be like, come with me.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
To work.
Jay
I think people really like that.
Dave
And it'll show a week. Because we have a really busy week.
Jay
Yeah.
Ad/Promo Voice
It's not.
Jay
It's. It's like a. It's a pretty dazzling work week. You're in Cannes, meeting with.
Dave
No, we have to fly back from Cannes early.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
Because we have to. We have. We have a meeting here in L. A, and we have a premiere on Wednesday. So we go to Cannes for two days.
Jay
Two days?
Dave
Yeah. It's really quick turnaround.
Jay
Oh, my God.
Dave
Then we come back for this premiere that we have to go to.
Jay
What movie?
Dave
Jackass.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
And then we. Then we have a dinner here in L. A. That's very important.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
That same day.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And then the next morning, we have to fly to Utah for a meeting.
Jay
Waivers.
Dave
Yeah. Dough bricks.
Jay
Dough bricks.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Hey, I saw.
Dave
I feel like that'd be a fun video to record.
Jay
Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
Like, maybe people don't know how I make money.
Jay
I think people would love that. That's a huge thing on YouTube, too. Is like, people. I follow, people like that. Like, how to make money, how they, you know, have a personal brand. I think that's really interesting.
Dave
Really?
Narrator/Reporter
Yeah.
Jay
It's a great idea.
Dave
Maybe I can, like. Maybe I can talk about, like, how much money I'm making on the trip and everything, too.
Jay
That's very good.
Dave
People will be surprised.
Jay
You think you'd be able to film some of these people, these brand people?
Dave
I don't know. That's what I love about Cannes is a lot of the meetings are held at a nightclub.
Jay
Yeah. You could get them drunk. Maybe it's actually. And then get a phone call later. David, please don't post that.
Dave
It's backwards. They get you drunk.
Jay
Oh, okay.
Dave
Because it really is like a field trip for those people, like, the executives in these positions, because they just. Yeah. Like, I let loose, like, quite a lot.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
But I feel like a lot of. Especially in the environment of other coworkers. I Feel like they never do. I'm sure they go out every weekend like regular people sometimes, but. Yeah, no, this is like really. When they let loose.
Jay
Hey, how is Zach Bias the other night?
Dave
Zach bias, 30th birthday.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Dude, I was so excited you had a good time. I did not talk about this.
Jay
I heard you had a good time.
Dave
Yeah, I got home at 4:00am or wait, no, like three.
Jay
Yeah. How was it? Did you come home that night?
Dave
No phones.
Jay
No phones.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Interesting.
Dave
Which I liked.
Jay
Because you know what else? There was none of your car in the driveway when I was here at 6:00am well, that's.
Dave
Oh, you thought I got laid.
Jay
Yeah, I came here to the gym really early. Cause I've been waking up early and I was like. I did all the math. I looked at all the cars and
Dave
I'm like, there's only five cars here. Where's David Sixx?
Jay
And why is the best one not here?
Dave
No, actually, you're talking to one of the most responsible drunk people on the planet.
Jay
Naveen said that. She goes, well, baby.
Dave
No, I left.
Jay
Wait, wait, wait. Let me do David math. I said. Naveen said, well, he probably got drunk and just ubered home. And I was like, no, he would call John and John would pick him up.
Dave
Yeah. But now did you have like a little bit of an assist by me saying no phones?
Jay
No.
Dave
Yeah. So no phones. So I had no time to like queue up John. Ah. So like I got out and I'm like, I'm calling an Uber. It's a minute away. Like, I'm not gonna go out. Call John. 20 minute wait, no phones. And it was 3:00am I was just like, yeah, like, John will get in the morning. It's so much easier.
Jay
Right? How was it?
Dave
Yeah, I love leaving my car. People are always so confused because I always drive to every, like every event or party or whatever where I possibly gonna drink. I'm always driving and people. Every time I say that, people get like, really sad.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Like, oh, fuck. I'm like, that doesn't mean anything. That just means that I really love to drive. And the car is here. It could be here for a day, could be here for a week. I don't know.
Jay
But you want to leave that car? That car is not too nice to leave.
Dave
I mean, it's fine. It's not like that.
John
Really.
Dave
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jay
I don't know.
Dave
But yeah, the no phones thing again was really. We talked about this just recently, right? Like there was no phones at a party and I kind of liked it.
Jay
I had the same feeling. I went to this restaurant, and they had no phones. No. I forgot my phone because I was driving my boss's car, bro.
Dave
That is an interesting restaurant idea.
Jay
Yes, it is.
Dave
No phone restaurant.
Ad/Promo Voice
I felt.
Jay
I felt like, this really deep thing, like. Like I'd been shackled for 20 years, and I was like, wow. Like, I really felt it. Did you feel it?
Dave
No.
Jay
No. You were like, where's my phone?
Dave
This time was a little bit different. This time I was like. Cause I went by myself to the party.
Jay
Ooh.
Dave
I didn't go with Natalie.
Jay
Is that hard for you?
Dave
Yes, because all. Well, the problem is all my friends are there, like, from L. A. Yeah. Like, it's everybody I know.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
Like, everyone.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
But the problem is, like, I feel like I know everyone there the same amount, so I don't know. I just, like, don't really know who to latch on to.
Jay
Yes. That's very difficult at a party.
Dave
Yeah. And I'll be like, well, shout outs on to you guys. But I also know you've, like, I don't know. But that was, like, a big. I was like, who do I stand next to when I don't want to say a single thing? And then I found my spot. I was like, I'm just gonna sit.
Jay
Who did you choose?
Dave
My friend Caleb.
Jay
Oh, nice.
Dave
Yeah, I just sat next to him.
Jay
What's the thing about Caleb that you liked? Is Caleb just easy to be around?
Dave
Yeah, Caleb's just like, you can just sit there and. And he was sitting. I was looking for someone that was sitting. It was really funny. I saw Paulina there, and I was, like, asking her, like, how her day was, and she's like, I can't believe you're talking to me. I'm like, oh, I guess.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
This is kind of crazy. We never, like, really have a full conversation because. Cause there was no phones. Right. And it's not that I don't. It's not even that, like, I would be in my phone with Paulina.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
I just, like, There wouldn't be so much pressure.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
To, like, have a conversation with someone.
Jay
Right.
Dave
I'd be like, I need to talk to someone, or else I'm twiddling my thumbs.
Jay
Right.
Dave
I can't, like, fall back onto a phone.
Jay
What'd you talk to Paulina about?
Dave
There was, like, moss, like, on one of. In one of the flower plants.
Jay
Do you get deep with people? Do you say, like, hey, where'd you grow up? Do you do that? Or you keep it more about the Mosque.
Dave
I don't know. It's kind of tough.
Jay
I try to get deep, like, at parties. Yeah. Fuck.
Dave
It just depends. So I was talking to, like, a professional partier.
Jay
Okay. Love it.
Dave
In one of these. In Monaco, at one of these parties.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And I was like, how do you guys keep the energy going?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And you know what they're doing? Coke, LSD spray.
Jay
LSD spray?
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Wow.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Wow.
Dave
Apparently, it's the new thing. Really looking for this everywhere.
Jay
Wow.
Dave
I was last night at a different party and I was like, does anybody here have LSD spray?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Because apparently you spray it once and it just gives you energy. No hallucinations, nothing really. Yeah, I know.
Jay
When I did lsd, you could drink like a fish.
Dave
Really?
Jay
Drink like crazy.
Dave
That's my problem is I drink too much and I get so fucking tired.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
I'm like, I'm no fun. I'm just. And I don't care to talk to people. I wish I had energy.
John
Right.
Dave
I wish I had energy because then I. Cause then I can. I can be a chatterbox. But, like. Yeah, I'm just really bad. So I'm trying to figure out a way to, like, stay out through the night.
Jay
I don't know. There's. Other than drugs, I mean.
Dave
But what I love about LA is that the nights end so early. It's so nice.
Jay
Three?
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
It's so fucking at three. It's like you're the last one there.
Jay
But in Monaco, it's. The sun was rising.
Dave
Yeah, well, I'm not even referring to Monaco. I'm referring to, like, Miami.
Jay
Sure.
Dave
Like Miami. It's like.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
You don't go out till 1:32.
Jay
Oh, I don't.
Dave
Like, like. Yeah, it's so bad because everyone's the next day.
Jay
So at the party, there's no phones, and then someone's DJing the. But the music's really loud. Or was it intimate?
Dave
Mm, it was at Delilah. So I was at Delilah. You could, like, hear each other.
Jay
Okay. Okay.
Dave
It was intimate. And, yeah, it was completely fine. The only problem is, like, actually, there's no problem. I don't know.
Jay
Why did he lock up the phones, you think?
Dave
I think it's just, like, 20, 26.
Jay
Just a vibe.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
I mean, I don't know.
Jay
Let's all be here now.
Dave
You know how I've been leaning towards that, too, for my part. I would totally do that if I fucking didn't have, you know, four big sponsors that needed to be recorded. I keep getting this call from the Spam. I'm just going to fucking pick up. I get. I get this call every morning.
Ad/Promo Voice
Hello, Pamela Davis, I'm calling from the business credit team with an update.
Dave
Just reviewed your business borrowing profile. I get this every day. Do you get stupid shit like that or is it just me?
Jay
No, mine are looking for money. Usually they have, like, a right to call me. Hey, did you see this? Male college students spend more on bag than they do on food. This reporting is like a TikTok trend that kids are making. TikTok saying how much they spent on cocaine for the week and how much they spent on food.
Dave
Oh, how much is that?
Jay
And the cocaine is way higher.
Dave
Is that actually true?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Wow.
Jay
How much is a bag?
Dave
A bag? I actually don't know. 200 bucks, I assume it's like 150 to $300.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Yeah. That's crazy.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
More money on bags than on food. And how many bags is a college kid getting?
Jay
Maybe two. I'm not sure. That's crazy. You didn't go to college?
Dave
No.
Jay
What do you think?
Dave
I'm glad I didn't.
Jay
Yeah. My kids are doing it now, and I don't know what they're doing.
Dave
I've never. There's never been an experience that, like, I'm, like, bummed I missed out on.
Jay
Wyatt told me an interesting thing. He was like. He said some of his friends are in New York, aren't in college. And he said being in college allows him, like, a sort of a shorthand with everybody else. So, like, when you meet people from nyu, they're like, oh, who are you? And then he's like, oh, but I go to. You know, and that. But if he wasn't in college, it's tougher to, like, meet people socially.
Dave
Oh, right. Cause it's like, what are you doing?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Are you just, like a nomad?
Jay
Yeah. Whereas he has another friend who's, like, just straight, like, directing films. And he's like. Kid's 20 years old, and he's just out there hustling so he doesn't have that thing assigned to him.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Yeah. Like, who are you? Which I thought was pretty interesting.
Dave
Oh, I thought that was, like, the best part, though, about being, like, a viner here in la.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
When people would be like, what are you doing? I would just be like, yeah. I don't really work quite yet.
Jay
Right.
Dave
I always find that kind of fun.
Jay
But you're not meeting college kids. You're meeting, like, people in the real world.
Dave
No, I was meeting college kids. I was fucking When I moved out here, I was 19 years old. What do you mean?
Jay
So you didn't feel that when you moved out here?
Dave
No, absolutely not. Oh, I actually loved.
Jay
Because you were on Vine.
Dave
I love the fact that I didn't go to college. Like, I've never had any. I knew whatever my job was gonna be since I was fucking 12, 11, that college was not gonna be a requirement. Cause it just didn't make any sense. It's like, why the f. Like I'm. Obviously, I'm not gonna be a doctor. I'm so not into that. And I don't. I don't need to do anything.
Jay
Were your parents happy you didn't go to school?
Dave
No, they've never said that. I'm actually kind of surprised. I always bring that up as like an argument.
Jay
Hey, your mom's been texting me about the cartoon. We're gonna get her in there.
Dave
Oh, really?
Jay
Yeah, we got a nice part for her.
Dave
Oh, she listened to the podcast.
Jay
I don't know if she listened to
Dave
the podcast because you brought it up the other day. You were like, we need.
Jay
I might have mentioned it to her at the party.
Dave
Yeah, yeah.
Jay
She's gonna play a monkey in the first one.
Dave
Really?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Oh, fuck yeah. Like a Slovak or Russian monkey.
Jay
We're gonna do a Slovak episode, I think. Hey, did you see this thing? The art director from Obsession is kind of saying like, hey, I didn't make any money on Obsession.
Dave
I saw that.
Jay
What do you think about that?
Dave
I think it's really fucked up.
Jay
By who?
Dave
By her or him?
Jay
Her. It's her. Yeah.
Dave
I think that's. So she. She basically went out and she's like, hey, I only made $6,000 during. During this.
Jay
Worked three. Had three different hats on the. On the project. Did a lot of other jobs.
Dave
Yeah. But the movie ended up making what the movie at $750,000 budget or whatever.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And it's now looking to make over $300 million.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And yeah, I just don't agree with that. I. I think that's a big red flag in a human being.
Jay
Right.
Dave
Like, to bring a project down like that, like, you should be happy that you were on that project. Right. And like. And like, what if the movie failed? Would they be like, hi, we're going to need your payback because we all lost. All our investors lost money on the movie.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Like, if that's like not how it works.
Jay
That is the way the world works. But there is there.
Dave
Are you taking the other side?
Jay
I'm not Taking the other side. But let's just say this.
Dave
Maybe I think, Can I just say something?
Jay
Sure.
Dave
I think it's fucked up that she called it out.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Is there a world in which, like, it'd be very cool of everyone putting it together that everyone has a percentage in the movie? That's. Yes, that's a whole nother argument. But I think to call it out to bring such negative attention to something that is like, should be such a positive. Like, hey, movies are back, right? We made this movie for so little, so many people are enjoying it. I think to like, yuck on that is shitty.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Do, do I see the other side of like, could everyone benefit from this in some capacity? Yes. But I also know that's not how movies work. So it's like, so. No, but maybe I don't blame anyone.
Jay
Maybe there's a world where, because obviously like the director is not getting that money. I don't think maybe he has a back end, but maybe there's a world where the studio goes, you know what, here you go, here's, you know, $10,000 for you.
Dave
Time out. Why do you think the director's not getting the money?
Jay
I can't imagine. He has like a huge.
Dave
It's his movie.
Jay
He's obviously got like, it's a first time director. I don't think that he's pulling in.
Dave
You don't think he has $100 million?
Jay
No.
Dave
You don't think he has at least 5, 10% of the movie?
Jay
Maybe.
Dave
Yeah, for sure does maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could even have. Okay, so we know he could have 100% of the movie.
Jay
That's not important though. Do you want the director to pay him? I'm saying like the studio. Maybe there's a world where it's like Chappelle made a, made a stink a few years ago. Like, I want my show back. I want the Chappelle show back. I want to own it. And Comedy Central was unbelievably, was like, okay, here, you can have it.
Dave
Okay.
Jay
And so what I'm saying is for larger change to be made, stuff like that, if she doesn't go out and say that then now she's risking, she's risking getting hired next time for sure. Red flag. For sure. I'm not necessarily. Yeah, wouldn't.
Dave
I think, I think, yes. I think that move is going to cost her a lot of future jobs.
Jay
Maybe. Yeah, yeah.
Dave
Wait, I'm sorry, I actually don't know what you're saying.
Jay
I'm saying, like, maybe there is A world where the studio goes, you know what, we made so much money on this. Let's trickle down some more money to the people that worked on the film.
Dave
For sure.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And that, I think that should be
Jay
great PR for the.
Dave
I think that should happen.
Jay
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave
Like if, if I had a film that did that 100%.
Jay
Now that doesn't happen unless she makes a.
Dave
Hold on, stop. No.
Jay
Yes.
Dave
No, no, yes. She, her making a stink should also not be happening.
Jay
But it won't happen because someone makes a stink is my point.
Dave
I don't know. I think what you just said should happen on its own.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And there shouldn't be, there shouldn't be a public stink made about this film.
Jay
Interesting.
Dave
I think, I think, I think, yes. It'd be really nice for the studio or whoever is controlling the budget to be like, we've made so much. Let's reward the people that have worked hard on this movie 100%. If I was doing this, that is what I would do. But I've been doing this long enough where I know that's what you have to do. Like I know there's no way around that. Like you have to do that. And I would make sure that happens way before anyone had a moment to put up a stink about it. But I don't think what you. She should still put, I don't think that she should put up a stick. I think, I think both of those are true.
Jay
What do you mean? You'd make sure it happened? You'd put it place that someone has a piece of the movie.
Dave
No, because I wouldn't. I. No, because I don't think I would expect a 250 million dollar revenue to come from a $700,000 movie. Yeah, but like yeah, if it, if it made more money than double or three times my investment. Like if it a thousand X or 250 X or whatever. Yes. Then I'd be like, yeah, we need to give back to the people. Listen guys, if you're ever going to listen to an ad read, it's this one. The Price picks people, they love us, we love them.

And I just got this. This is so funny. It's a spotlight. It's like an official report. It says obsession. Creative team will get a cut of massive movies project. That's so funny.
Jay
Well, see, she doesn't make that TikTok. I don't know if that happens.
Dave
Yes. But I.
Jay
But I think I know your point, but I think it's not. It's not.
John
It's not.
Dave
Yeah. I don't think it's fair to assume that the movie team wasn't going to do that.
Jay
Yeah, Like, I think.
Dave
I think there's. I think there's a. There's going to be a. Like, I just. I believe in humans.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And, like, I think it's just so shitty to be so negative about it.
Jay
Sure.
Dave
So early in the game.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Yeah. Like, there's a lot going on. When a movie's making $250 million, someone's getting a lot of phone calls. According to reports, financier Capstone is expected to make between 45 million and $50 million from the film's success.
Jay
Wow.
Dave
That's crazy.
Jay
What's the name of the company?
Dave
I think Capstone. Capstone. The good news. Those profits are reportedly set to be shared with the creative team. And including writer director Curry, Barker's breakout horror hit has become one of the biggest box office stories of the year.
Jay
But is the art director getting paid?
Dave
I'm sure.
Jay
You think?
Dave
I'm sure.
Jay
Hey, did you see this thing I sent you?
Dave
What?
Jay
1974, a man experienced a glitch in reality. He discovered the matrix 22 years before it existed.
Dave
Oh, and he's gone now.
Jay
Yeah. FBI and CIA ceased his research. But 46 years later, Elon Musk and quantum physics prove him right. The declassified files will terrify you. And basically, this guy, like, basically said that, like, we're living in the Matrix. And then he was like. He was abducted by, like, the CIA. Isn't that crazy?
Dave
Can I tell you what's crazy? What? It's like, are there aliens on this earth or. No, I'm not trying to lead you this direction, but you know, I was just in Monaco, right?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And no one brought up aliens. And if anybody would know, there'd be a lot of those people on those boats.
Jay
Why? Why would they know on the boats? Because they're the 1%.
Dave
Because they just, like, own. Yeah, they own, like, these big. Like, who are the aliens interacting with? Yeah, I guess there was no government officials, sort of. Maybe that's. That's where they're going. Even Steven Spielberg was. I was watching an interview with. Of him a couple days ago, and he was like, Listen, I've made four movies now about aliens. Close Encounters, E.T. day of. What is it? Day of World of Worlds, and now Disclosure Day. And he's like, I hate to say this about myself, but, like, I feel like I should be allotted to meet an alien at this point or at least see some real evidence of one. Some real footage.
Jay
Right.
Dave
Like, personally. Why?
Jay
Because he made movies about it?
Dave
I think so, yeah. You think so? Come on, dude. He's Steven Spielberg. He's allowed us. He's allowed to.
Jay
Like, he's allowed to. Why does he get to see it? Because he made. He spent so much time.
Dave
Because he's like. He's introduced.
Jay
I know. Baron. Why not?
Dave
He's made, like, incredible movies about extraterrestrials his whole lifetime. I feel like he's. He's. He should be allowed to meet an alien. Should Barack Obama meet one? For sure, 100%. Should all Filipinos meet one? Because I still think that they are the epitome of the kindness in the human race. Yes, all Filipinos.
Jay
All Filipinos get to meet the aliens.
Dave
All Filipinos. Steven Spielberg and Barack Obama.
Jay
What about Natalie? She get to me?
Dave
Fuck, no. Could you imagine if aliens landed and the first person they ran into is Natalie? They would beam, they would fly faster than they've ever flown before. Like, I'm talking, like, 10x the speed of light, back to wherever they're from, and we'd never see them again the
Jay
fuck out of here.
Dave
But, yeah, what is interesting is, like, what. Where the fuck are they? And what's going on with this new push for aliens? I understand that. Like, it's like, everyone's, like. It's to cover up the Epstein files.
Jay
Yeah. It's a distraction.
Dave
Right. But, like, that's. Is that it?
Jay
I think so.
Dave
Okay, so, like, why is it, like, not a better distraction? Like, why don't we, like, just bring out the fucking alien already? Bring out the alien.
Jay
Because there isn't one to bring out.
Dave
You're telling me it's all fucking fake? Yeah. You're a fucking loser. I hate how you think I. I'm sorry, Dave.
Jay
They were aliens. Then why didn't they go to Monaco? That'd be the first place I'd go.
Dave
Okay, so you agree with me with that? Yeah. Obviously.
Jay
Yeah, I'm agreeing with you.
Dave
Okay. Okay. Okay. I mean, Monaco was out of earthly experience.
Jay
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave
So late.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
So. Because. Because if they weren't there, there's something weird going on.
Jay
Take a chopper from a boat.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
To another party. Are you kidding?
Dave
Yeah. They would love that. No, but be for real with me.
Jay
I am.
Dave
You don't think there's aliens on this planet?
Jay
I don't know, man. I just. Every time I see the footage, it's like, it looks like a video game or, like Atari game or something. I'm like. I just don't know why they're not at the mall. Why are they not down at the mall?
Dave
Well, did you hear what happened?
Jay
What?
Dave
In Miami.
Jay
No.
Dave
Wait, what?
Jay
I didn't hear.
Dave
Hold on.
Jay
I'm not sure what you're arguing at this point. If you've got more information. So you have seen aliens?
Dave
You didn't hear about the aliens in Miami?
Jay
No.
Dave
John, do you know the Miami mall alien story? No. Are you guys fucking with me?
Jay
I just.
Dave
On January 1, 2024, police responded to a large disturbance at the Bayside Marketplace in downtown Miami. According to police and local news reports, dozens of teenagers were fighting, setting off fireworks and causing panic. Multiple arrests were made because some people thought the fireworks were gunshots. A very large number of officers were dispatched. Videos of the massive police response started circulating on. So if you watch videos Outside of the mall. Right. It is like a hundred cop cars outside in one clip. A blurry figure or shadow appears between police cars. Some people claimed it was an 8 to 10 foot tall creature or shadow alien. The theory spread rapidly across TikTok X, YouTube and conspiracy forums. Okay, so people don't know what happened. And now there's. Now all the mall security camera has been seized by the government.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
No one knows what happened in the mall that day. Okay, Everyone that had footage on their phone, the footage has now gone off their phones of this creature that everyone saw at the Bayside Mall. This is like, this is like a real thing and no one knows what it is. And people are disappearing that have been at that mall that have anything to say about it.
Jay
What?
Dave
Yes. This is like a big thing. Yeah.
Jay
Show me a tik tok. Show me like an.
Dave
They're gone. Dude.
Jay
There must be a way, there must be a tik tok of even if it's fake of a guy being like, I was at the mall.
Dave
No.
Jay
On January 1, 2024. Well, and I saw this creature. Is there anything like that?
Dave
I'm sure, I'm sure there are, but I'm saying there's no footage from inside the mall.
Jay
I mean, so they went, they, they accessed everyone's phones, deleted all the footage.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
Bayside Mall incident. I mean it's very famous here. This is all the cop cars. You seen this?
Narrator/Reporter
According to 10 or more witnesses. They described seeing nine or 10 foot creatures roaming through the mall. They were described as almost, almost like humanoid, but kind of distorted looking like they were glitching. A few of the witnesses said that they came out of one of the stores and others said it looked like some kind of portal. And when people saw that, that's when they panicked and started running and booking it through the mall. And some of the witnesses said that police officers were even shooting at them. Witnesses said there was black helicopters circling the mall and that air traffic in that area was locked down. And there was also reports that people using police scanners to listen in that those lines went down as well. Now it hasn't been confirmed that the police scanner lines went down, but if anyone did experience that that was there definitely let me know. And it's not been 100 confirmed.
Dave
So. So yeah, all those people.
Jay
So they just popped out of an aldo.
Dave
This is this 10 creatures. These are all the comments. These, these are the top comments. Like 130000 likes okay. All those people. No video says it all. How has no One been interviewed. I just don't understand how all of a sudden cameras are blurry, like they're from back in the 80s. Like, what? Yet no one filmed it. Right. Do you understand this?
Jay
Yeah. These are skeptics.
Dave
Yeah, yeah. It just doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense how there's not a video from inside that mall.
Jay
Yes. It just didn't happen.
Dave
Okay, whatever. If you want to believe that. The part that confuses me is, like, if aliens walk through a portal.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Why are they being shot at? They must have started, like, eating somebody right away or something. Must have, like, freaky if. Something must have happened. But I don't know.
Jay
What do you think, John?
John
I mean, I wish aliens were real, but there's no film.
Dave
You'd be the first one to meet him. I just talked about this. I wish.
John
Imagine it's just me. You find out I'm actually an alien.
Jay
What if John comes. Comes into your bedroom in the morning
Dave
and he goes, stop talking about that on the podcast. And then he lifts up his skin a little bit and it's all green.
Jay
Yeah. He goes. He goes, dude, I was working out. I went outside and I saw a spaceship. And then they came down and they touched me and they told me, did not say anything. Don't tell Ilya. Don't tell Alex. Would you believe him?
Dave
I'd be really funny if. That. A sense of humor like that.
Jay
Yeah. Would you believe him if he did that?
John
There's no way. There's no way. And I have no proof. No phone.
Jay
Yeah.
John
No. Nothing. You just have to believe me.
Jay
Would you think there's no way or. Which.
Dave
I wouldn't think he'd be lying, but.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
I'd be like, he doesn't know what he saw.
John
You also know I'm.
Jay
Okay.
John
I'm a huge skeptic. I'm like, a huge skeptic.
Jay
Yeah. So you would. You would say, like, John, you're. You're hallucinating. You're not lying, but you're hallucinating.
Dave
That didn't happen. Yeah, 100%. 100%. I'd be like, why the fuck did you not, like, shout for me or call for me or anything?
Jay
That's how I feel about the Miami thing. It's like, why is that not covered? Like, why is that? It just didn't happen, man.

Dave
Jay, how do you feel about the New York Knicks right now as like a former east coast guy?
Jay
Well, I'm not a Knicks fan, but I'm happy for them, you know.
Dave
Oh my God. I'm I don't care about sports. Yeah. As much as the New York Knicks fans do. But I'm such a fan of the New York Knicks fans.
Jay
Yeah, I am too.
Dave
Want to I'm thinking about flying out this week to New York.
John
You should fly out to Saturday just
Dave
to like kind of film everything.
John
Oh yeah, I think it's going to be crazy, bro.
Jay
To go to the game.
Dave
No, I don't want to go to the game. I just want to be outside with the fans. Like I want to go. Like I want to go out and see like, because I think a lot of people in New York are watching it. Like the side of buildings on projectors and stuff like that. Like, like New York's really New Yorking right Now.
John
Yeah.
Jay
It's really good. Alive.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
They needed it. They've. They've had. Knicks fans are so passionate, and they're. They're.
Dave
Yeah. They haven't won in, like, what, 54 years? And yet yesterday. Did you see yesterday, their. Their comeback?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
They were down 29 points, Jay.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And they won in the last second.
Jay
I know.
Dave
Are you kidding me?
Jay
That's pretty cool.
Dave
It's. They're destined to win, right? Like, you don't have a run like this and lose. Like, there's no. There's no way the spurs are going to come back, unfortunately. There's no down three to one.
Jay
They have momentum.
John
Yeah.
Dave
They have insane. And they have arguably the greatest city in the nation behind them right now, which is New York City. So you should go. I do want to go.
Jay
How could you go and then go to France?
Dave
That's. That. That's the only reason I don't want to go. It's like, I have so much to do. That.
John
But I mean, dude, just imagine the city, like, there's going to be riots. Like, straight up riots.
Dave
Yeah.
John
The city's going to burn.
Jay
I don't. I don't know about that, bro. I think. I think a little bit higher of New York than.
Dave
I don't know. I don't think there's gonna be riots.
Jay
I don't think there'll be riots.
Dave
I think it's gonna be.
Jay
Do you know why, John?
John
Why?
Jay
New York's like. New York has to exist like that all the time with everybody on top of each other. I don't think the Knicks winning is gonna.
Dave
I don't think you're gonna be.
Jay
People have, like. People. People have, like, a certain level of. How do I say it, Dave?
Dave
Love? Admiration.
Jay
Yeah, they. They. They have like a. They have a code that they live by.
Dave
In order to.
John
Next Tuesday, we're gonna talk about it.
Jay
Okay. Yeah. Put some money on it. I'll bet you a hundred bucks there's no, like, Rio. A ride's like somebody dies.
Dave
The reason John brings this up is because. Because, like, the number one meme online is, like, New York after the Knicks win. And it's a. It's a video of a nuke hitting. Yeah. New York.
Jay
Oh, yeah.
Dave
Like, it's like the whole city's. Everyone is saying will be brought to, like, ashes after they win.
Jay
Right? I don't think so.
Dave
I don't think so either.
Jay
Maybe some jumping on cars.
Dave
Yeah.
John
So a little bit even I'm not. I mean, this is a terrible way of Betting. I mean, I'm always going to say no.
Dave
You can't put on people's deaths. Yeah, no, no, you guys don't bet on this.
John
But if the police comes out, obviously they're coming out.
Jay
Police will come out.
Dave
Obviously they're gonna be out there. Are you nuts?
John
No, in right gear.
Dave
But the police are also New Yorkers, so they're.
John
They're also going to be riding.
Dave
Have you seen. Who's the mayor there? Mandami? Yeah. Have you seen him talk about, like, how do you feel about, like a reporter asked, like, how do you feel about, like, how New Yorkers are going to act?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
When the Knicks win the championship? And he's. He's kind of like. I mean, it's been over 50 years, so he's kind of like, just gotta. Yeah, we're just gonna have to do it. He's. He's really interested. He's. He comes up on my feet a lot. And all the comments are always like, he's. That's my mayor. And then in the parentheses, it'll be like, I live in a small county in Hungary, by the way. Like, it's like. Yeah, like, there's a lot of, like, he's. He's very good at being the people's. The person's people. Yeah, People's person.
Jay
Yeah. The murder rate for the people. The lowest ever there.
Dave
Now, I don't know about politics. I don't know.
Jay
No, that's just.
John
Those are.
Jay
Those are facts.
Dave
Okay. I don't know what he's doing about, like, actually what he's doing in New York, but I just like the optics of how he looks, at least on my feed. He's like, right, yeah, he looks like.
Jay
He looks like he could show up at your house maybe for a party.
Dave
Someone was like, are you going back. Are you going back to the Knicks game?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And he's like, all I could do is afford one ticket. I'm going to watch party. He's very positive about everything. He's not taking free seats from the Madison Square Garden, which I would. If anybody is in his camp and is listening to this, I think he can go ahead and, like, pull that off pretty smooth smoothly. He could just be like, I'm the mayor.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
There are some perks. I'm going to go watch the game on their dime. Like, you were mayor from New York.
Jay
Dave, would you take a ticket courtside?
John
You're going to take it by Madison Square Garden?
Jay
Yeah, take it.
Dave
Okay. Yeah, but I think there's. I really like that he. He's for the people.
Jay
Yeah. Something nice about him not taking it.
Dave
Something nice. But I also think it's, like, it shows that you're a real Knicks fan if you take it like, Are you fucking nuts?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
I'm mayor. This is my one. This is my one perk. I get to go watch our team play. Speaking of optics, anybody from his team is listening to this. Let that man go to the game.
Jay
Yeah, I think optics wise, too, it'd be probably pretty good for him to
Dave
be there, to be at the game. Yeah, well, he went and he sat, like, in the nosebleeds.
Jay
Oh, what?
Dave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he went. The one game he went to, he bought tickets. They asked him how much they were. It was for around $1,000. And he set up in, like, section fucking Z, in fact, like, yeah, bro,
John
he is for the people.
Dave
No, he's very much for the people.
John
Wow.
Dave
And he takes public trans.
Jay
You kind of have to take public trans.
John
That's really cool.
Dave
Do you, though, in New York, if
Jay
you want to get anywhere?
John
I mean, he could have a black. You could have a driver.
Dave
Yeah, but you get, like, a big
Jay
driver, can't get anywhere.
Dave
Yeah, but you're still getting so much work done in a car that's, like, vamped for it. Like, you know what? You could have a full desk in your bus, and you could be taking calls in there. Yeah. And it's like, your office, but, yeah, I get it. John and I are going back to the south of France.
John
Oh, we're not.
Dave
Why do you not want to go so bad?
John
Because I got to lock in, dude. I got to, like, lock in. And, like, it's Julia's first time, like, doing a transformation, so she's like. She understands the weight on her shoulders of, like, you have a goal and you have to hit it.
Dave
Right.
John
You know?
Dave
I mean, it's like. I don't understand what the argument is here.
John
It's just. I mean, this is her, like, second week.
Dave
Yeah. What does that mean? Like, you can't lock in the south of France?
John
No, no, no. Like, she just wants me to be there, you know?
Dave
Oh, yeah. We're only gone for three days.
John
It doesn't matter. It's just. It messes up the whole thing, man.
Dave
It really doesn't. It's literally. You just don't have popcorn that day.
John
Also, we've been to south of France.
Dave
I mean, I understand that argument, but
Jay
that was just there.
John
I was just there.
Jay
Why do you need John there?
Dave
Huh?
Jay
Why do you need John there.
John
Yeah.
Jay
Make the vlog.
John
We're not even vlogging.
Jay
No, he's coming.
Dave
Yeah, I know we're vlogging.
John
Oh, we are?
Dave
Yeah. Yeah.
John
Okay. I peaked, though. I peaked the south of France, you know, Monaco was peaked.
Jay
Yeah.
John
Once in a life.
Jay
Can't get any better than that.
John
You can't. You can't beat it. You can't. Other than my economy seat in the middle. In the middle, middle. You couldn't even look outside the window.
Jay
Middle, middle.
John
Oh, middle, middle of the plane.
Jay
Yeah.
John
In the middle.
Jay
No wind.
Dave
Yeah.
John
It's one thing to be in the middle, but next to a window.
Dave
Middle, middle, middle, middle is like.
John
You don't even know where we're going.
Jay
Damn.
John
Yeah, but it was fun because, I mean, it was worth it. Honestly, it was worth. Was one of the most, like, bougiest trip I've ever seen.
Jay
Really?
John
Yeah. Jay.
Jay
Yeah, he was telling me about it. I did see your scavenger hunt.
Dave
You did what?
Jay
I did. Senior scavenger hunt. My friend's kid was doing senior scavenger hunt.
Dave
Oh, yeah? What do they look for?
Jay
They needed to fight at Influencer.
Dave
Oh, that's so funny.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Like. Like, verbally.
Jay
I don't know.
Dave
Or physically.
Jay
Yeah, like, they needed it, like, on video, so.
Dave
Damn. The scavenger hunts in LA are probably so lit. It's probably like, find a famous person.
Jay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave
Damn. And you could like, actually kind of check that off.
Jay
Yeah, yeah. Marnie called me before, and she was like. She's like, you know, he's coming over. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do it.
Dave
Coming to kick your ass.
Jay
Yeah. She goes. She said the most LA thing ever. She goes. She goes, well, if it makes you feel any better, Mindy Kaling's doing it, too, so you're in good company.
Dave
That's really funny.
Jay
I was like, yeah, that's good.
Dave
That's really funny.
Jay
I was like, okay, I'll do it. But then he came over and he was like. He was like, all right, I have to, like, fight an influencer. And I was like, okay. I was like, so what? Like, we'll just, like, make a sketch or something? And he was like, no, no. He's like. He's like, we have to, like, scrap. And I was like, what? I was like, I'm not gonna fuck. I don't want to fucking hit you, you know? So I did it a couple times, and he was just, like, not happy with it at all.
Dave
Yeah. You weren't hitting him Hard enough. No, I mean, I get it. If I was a high schooler, like, I'd want to do it properly.
Jay
I know. But I also can't hit my friend son.
Dave
Why? If you ask. If you ask your friend.
Jay
I can't.
Dave
Jeff's son?
Jay
No, no, our other friend. But it was just kind of like, it's stressful.
Dave
Do you think what's, what's the most interesting thing about living in LA as a parent? That people don't understand that your kids love la. What, what, what does that mean?
Jay
It means like they love it here. And it's kind of like if you want to move or if you like one, if you want them to be different types of people.
Dave
That's actually so true.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
I've never met, like a younger person here that's grown up here.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
That's ever said anything negative about this place. Oh, yeah, people love it here.
Jay
Charlie's at Point Dube today.
Dave
Oh, that's. That is actually. That's so opposite of where we're from. Yeah, we're from. That's like, it is the standard to bitch about me too, where I'm from.
Jay
Let's get the fuck out of here. Like, how do we get out of this town?
Dave
Wow, that is really interesting about. Okay, so all kids love la.
Jay
My kid goes to school in college and his plan is to come right back here.
John
Oh, wow.
Dave
Damn. If I make it, we're going back home.
Jay
Yeah. 100%. Yeah.
Dave
That's crazy.
Jay
Same thing with Charlie. Like, the kids here, they, they, they, they.
Dave
Okay, what else, what else? What else? Like, what, what's something that people wouldn't understand about being a parent in la or like even, like, is there some sort of like, special code that it's been hard for you to operate by? Like, by like not fangirling about people's parents or like, I guess maybe just
Jay
like the, the opulence around you is tough.
Dave
What's that? Oh, like, like just the wealth and.
Jay
Yeah. Charlie has a friend who's like a billionaire famous guy and like, you know, it's just like hard to do.
Dave
You think that's tough for a lot of kids? I think so, yeah.
Jay
I think that's really hard to be.
Dave
Like, my dad is a billionaire. Like, my dad's Spielberg.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And your dad is Jason Nash.
Jay
Yes. Yeah.
Dave
Yeah. Have your kids ever been like, hey, Jamie, Spielberg is getting to like, she's getting uber blacks and you're only getting me uber pools? Like, I don't know what's going on? No, never has There ever been, like, a moment where you've had to tell your kids, like, well, listen, like, we're not. We're not like Russell Crowe. We're like, yeah.
Jay
I'll just say. I'll just be like, daddy, I can't. You can't do Postwitz anymore. Or like, we can't.
Dave
We can't. You can't eat anymore. That's crazy.
Jay
Yeah. I'll just be like, I don't. I don't have it. I can't do it.
Dave
I mean, even Postmates is like, yeah, Postmates is like, an insane mom would
John
be like, here's $2.
Jay
Yeah.
John
Work it out.
Dave
I mean, Little Caesars you get once a week. And that's. You know what? That already is like, that's top of the line. To be able to afford Little Caesars is already.
Jay
There's.
Dave
But like.
Jay
But do you ever get Little Caesars here?
Dave
No, because I like a pizza place now.
Jay
Yeah, but you mean you could cheat on your pizza place.
Dave
It's. It's. It's actually kind of hard for me to get pizza. Like, yesterday. Yesterday we had to go into dobriks, the taste test.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
We're like, coming out with finally, gluten free. Yeah, we're doing.
Jay
Oh, gluten free pizza. I love.
Dave
Yeah. We actually brainstorming because how was it?
Jay
How is the gluten free?
Dave
It's really good. Yeah, it's really good.
Jay
I like gluten free.
Dave
And then we try to talk shit about that. I didn't like.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
So, yeah. But we're coming out with probably a thin version soon. I want to just go New York style, so stop bitching.
Jay
I love that.
Dave
I'm so, like, good move. Really?
Jay
Oh, yeah.
Dave
Yeah. But, like, I ate so much yesterday where I didn't eat the rest of the day, and that's like, it's all part of work.
Jay
Wow.
Dave
So I try not to eat pizza when I'm not, like, doing it. You know, I have to bring, like, a porn star. Like, you know, I fuck. I fuck.
Jay
I fuck for work.
Dave
So, like, I don't. I don't. I don't like to fuck on the side. And it just feels like work to me.
Jay
I have to do a brand deal for a competing pizza place. I just want to let you know that. Who. I'm not gonna say.
Dave
Oh, tell me, tell me.
Jay
Seeing that this place is brought to
Dave
you, I'll tell you if it's valid.
Jay
Prince Street. Yeah.
Dave
You're a fucking dick. No, no, no. I love Prince Street. You know, they were our original partners.
Jay
I know they were. Yeah.
John
Wait, you guys were supposed to be partners with Prince Street?
Dave
Yeah.
John
No way.
Dave
We're supposed to. We were partners with Prince street, and then we, like, we worked out. We're still really good friends with the owners of Prince street because they were, like, so helpful in helping us figure out, like, what type of pizza we were gonna do, I don't think.
John
Dude, I remember you brought Prince street back to Chicago, and I was like. And you flew it out. You literally brought it from la.
Dave
Oh, it's. Yeah. First time you have Prince Street. Prince Street, I think, is the gateway to good pizza.
Jay
Yeah, it's nice.
Dave
I think it's, like, the most mainstream good pizza place.
John
It's a gold standard.
Dave
Yeah. So I think once you have Prince street, you're like, okay, so this is where I'm at with pizza.
Jay
I don't think pizza's a competitive thing.
Dave
No, I don't think it is either. And that's exactly why Pritz street partnered with us. When we were up the street, I was like, why do you guys want to do this? Like, it's not. It's not really like that. We want to see you flourish. It's not like that.
Jay
Like, pizza just begets more pizza.
Dave
100%, I think. 100%. I completely agree.
Jay
It's so hard for me to not order pizza. We were out in a restaurant last night, and I wanted pizza so badly.
Dave
I actually would tell you, like, the only place that I'm not offended by you supporting is Prince Street.
Jay
Nice.
Dave
And Little Caesars.
Jay
Nice, then. Little Caesars hasn't called yet.
Dave
But, I mean, little. I would love to do something with Little Caesars. I'd love to do a collab with Little Caesars at my pizza place. I think that'd be really sick.
Jay
That'd be fun.
Dave
I really want to get, like, a $5 pizza on the menu.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
It's just really fucking hard. It's really hard to, like, make that work financially.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Cause it's just. I don't even think Little Caesar's has $5 pizza anymore. Right. It's like $7 now. $8. Yeah. $7. Eight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's really. It's really hard to make that pizza.
John
Not even Sam's club has $5 pizzas.
Dave
What? No. Like, their slices are still cheap. No, they're.
John
No, they're like 2.99.
Dave
Damn.
John
Yeah. I was just there at Costco. That's why.
Dave
So what? A little butterflies. I was just there if you wanted to ask. No. Yeah.
Jay
I saw this ad the other day. I was watching tv and you know how they do, like, political ads where they take down candidates and stuff?
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Well, this was a lawsuit for a doctor who had inappropriately touched women.
Dave
Okay.
Jay
It was like a gynecologist named Barry Brock. And it was the oddest ad. And it was like, were you touched by Barry Brock?
Dave
No way.
John
Yeah.
Dave
Oh, that's crazy. Like, it. Oh, I guess it's probably only playing to la.
Jay
Yeah, it was as a doctor at Cedars. And then. And then it's like the woman's like, in the store.
Dave
Wow, that's fucking.
Jay
And then she's like in the grocery aisle and all of a sudden she sees Barry Brock. Like, like a ghost almost. It's the most disturbing fucking thing I've ever seen.
Dave
Like, they like, they like shot it, like theatrically.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Jay
And it's like a 700 million dollar lawsuit.
Dave
I don't know how pop. Aside from that. I don't know how politicians do it, how people are always going at each other. I was like, I see a lot of politician videos where it's like, hey, can I shake your hand?
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And then the politician would be like, yeah, of course. And then the guy starts shaking the politician's hand and the guy goes, you're fucking demonic asshole. Fuck yourself.
Jay
That's part of the job. Yeah, that's part of the job.
Dave
That's. That's fucking crazy. If I was a politician, I'd be like, yeah, I'm not going like Trump. Love him or hate him. 50% of people hate him.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
I don't know how he fucking does it.
Jay
I don't know.
Dave
Any president could sit anywhere and get booed. He got like the whole stadium's booing.
Jay
Yes, yes, I saw that.
Dave
Like, that's like. I don't know. I think that's. That's a level of like, something I don't understand.
Jay
Politics is a whole different beast. It's a whole different.
Dave
But I also think, like, when you're a politician, you don't.
Jay
You.
Dave
You have like a really good, like, perception. Not, not really good, but you just have like such a different perception of, of human beings.
Jay
I got asked to do a political ad a couple weeks ago and they wanted me to. They wanted me to go after the other candidate in my ad. And ultimately I was like, no, not gonna do that, but. Oh, really, really, really interesting.
Dave
Jerry Berger wants you to have no money.
Jay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave
I think that's fucking weird.
Jay
Yeah.
John
I'm surprised there hasn't been an influencer that's become like part governor or something, you know, I mean, there was one that just tried.
Dave
Yeah, there's literally one just now in la. He was close.
Jay
Yeah, he did good. Yeah, he was pretty good for who he was.
Dave
I mean, I think you're going to. I think you're going to get influencers. I think you'll get that in like five, ten years.
John
Yeah. I mean, 100%, Dave could be running for fucking governor of L. A. Oh.
Jay
What would be the first thing you do, Dave?
John
We'll have a membership at Living Room just for this year.
Dave
I think when we were. When we were registering people to vote. Yeah, we beat. This is one of my favorite flexes of my. Of all time. Yeah, we got the most people to. We beat Taylor Swift's record, really, getting most people to register to vote in like a single campaign.
Jay
Damn.
Dave
And we registered over 150,000 people to vote like teenagers. It's crazy. 18.
Jay
18 year olds.
Dave
Yeah.
Jay
Damn.
Dave
So that was really exciting.
Jay
And now they're all being drafted, so.
Dave
Yeah, now, now. Yeah, now they're off of fighting the war because I did that
Jay
great job.
Dave
150,000 people that use Code David at the ballots are being drafted.
John
They're probably like, I did not know we had 150,000 eligible.
Dave
Five of them won a Tesla, Maybe going to war, but damn. Yeah.
Jay
What else is going on around here? What are you back in la? You're feeling good?
Dave
Yeah, I have a week off.
Jay
You look good.
Dave
I have. I'm posting a video on Monday which I'm excited about.
Jay
Croatia.
Dave
Croatia. Our boat vlog.
Jay
Good.
Dave
How is it again? I say this every vlog. It's gonna be a little bit of a different kind of vlog.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
But I really like the vibe. I think it's. I think it's got like a fun energy to it. And then we have a party here.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
We have so many fucking events at the house. I just painted the pickleball purple, having Price picks come in. And we're doing a Price picks pickleball tournament. My annual tournament for pickleball.
Jay
Okay.
Dave
We're doing with Price picks this year.
Jay
Do you win every year?
Dave
Yes.
Jay
You do? Yeah. Is it one on one or doubles?
Dave
Doubles.
Jay
Who's your partner?
Dave
I don't know yet. But it's like some of the Nelk boys are coming. Sean o' Malley's coming. Drewski's coming.
Jay
Fun.
Dave
So it's gonna be like a big group of like influencers that are coming out.
Jay
Great.
Dave
And athletes. Kevin Durant. And then right when that ends. Yeah, I go see Toy Story in theaters.
Jay
Yeah.
Dave
And then that's that same night. And then that morning, I fly out to Cannes. I'm there for two, three days. And then my long, long, long, two, two week work week starts. And then in July, I think I'm going to have a little bit more free time. July, I'm not doing much traveling. I'm going to Bon Jovi concert in New York.
Jay
Oh, yeah. With your mom.
Dave
Yeah. When. When Bon Jovi promises those tickets. So we're gonna do that, which I'm really excited about. But other than that, that's my only travel I'm doing. I may go to the Hamptons. Yeah, it's gonna be a busy, busy two months. John's gonna be traveling a lot. So nice to travel with John.
Jay
I'm sorry about that.
John
Just careful with the word travel.
Dave
You know, you're gonna be traveling.
John
I mean, Jay, I'm not gonna lie. It feels like having the best dessert every day.
Dave
But he's full.
John
But I'm so full.
Dave
That's actually a really good way to describe it.
John
Very, very full. I am content with the life I've seen. So very grateful for my boss, but I am full.
Jay
You're done.
Dave

Podcast Summary: VIEWS with David Dobrik & Jason Nash Episode: Why You Shouldn't Go to College Date: June 12, 2026
In this energetic and candid episode, David Dobrik and Jason Nash dive into debates about college’s value, the realities of influencer careers, generational perspectives, behind-the-scenes showbiz, viral conspiracies, party culture, and the ever-present chaos of LA and New York. Their signature humor, curiosity, and self-deprecation tie together a fast-moving conversation that oscillates between personal anecdotes and viral internet trends.
The conversation is loose, self-effacing, and rapid-fire—ranging from earnest opinions on work and compensation, nostalgic takes on party life, and gleeful speculation about conspiracies and celebrity. Both Jason and David maintain their comedic, irreverent tone, providing an inside peek at influencer culture while staying rooted in the quirks of everyday life, making this episode both laugh-out-loud funny and oddly introspective.
For full context, listen between 01:08–51:25 for uninterrupted discussion. Ads, promotions, and intro/outro have been omitted from this summary.
