The podcast captures a lively and immersive journey to Miami, where the crew shares their experiences at Boca Bash—a massive event featuring hundreds of boats, music, and inflatables. They describe the surreal scene of people dancing in water, swimming to games, and walking through shallow sandbars, creating a vibrant, almost surreal party atmosphere. Amid the excitement, the hosts reflect on personal and cultural differences, like John’s discomfort with Miami’s humidity and David’s love of the freedom of boating. The group also discusses their evolving vlog routine, balancing creative stress with the joy of consistency. Light-hearted moments include a comical "imposter" game, discussions on personal habits like hair pulling, and the emotional weight of long-kept childhood memories, such as a girlfriend still wearing old underwear from camp. The episode delves into deeper ethical questions—like the red/blue vote or the lever dilemma—using them as a lens to explore trust and moral decisions. Ending with a humorous hypothetical about jerking off for priceless art, the podcast blends humor, personal reflection, and philosophical inquiry into a uniquely engaging narrative that celebrates both spontaneity and vulnerability.
[Music] What's up guys, we're back to views! We are back with another episode, joined with John and Natalie. Hello! Really really good. Actually shout out to Natalie because we just started recording the podcast. Thank you so much. Let's just keep it positive. How about that? No, I will because we just started recording the podcast and we were only about three minutes in and Natalie caught that we weren't recording. Which is actually like record timing for one of us to catch that the episode is not being recorded. So right now this is confirmed, this is being recorded right now. We are live. We are live. It's time. We've done full pod. A full pod? Yeah, we've done that. That's crazy guys. The worst is like, the worst is trying to relive those memories again and trying to like go through the episode. We have the stories, yeah. Yeah, that's the worst. But luckily we only have to talk about what we talked about the first three minutes. Natalie said something incredibly racist shit. I actually was going to cut it out anyway. Glad we restarted. Maybe we do yet. Natalie was letting Lewis in. I think she's a little drunk. What? We're just making it up. We got to Miami. We're here with Celsius. We're here for F1. We just posted the Bali vlog, which was really fun. And we went to Boca Bash for the first time here in Miami. Which if you don't know what it is, how do I describe it? John, that I mean like it's like a hundred boats. Yeah, a hundred boats. It feels like five six hundred break, but actually not a spring break. Yeah, it's just like it's like a bunch of college kids and like families and stuff. But everybody's boats are docked up in like there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of boats all docked up on the sand bar in Boca. And everyone's just blasting their music, drinking, dancing, swimming, like it was just spring break. No, it's like hot. People within a half a mile, you could probably like jump from boat to boat without touching the water. Yeah, so like Celsius and this insane setup where it was, they had these like three boats. They had like a DJ on one of the ends of the boats. And then there was people basically raving underneath the, I don't know how to explain it. You know, like those, those like contraptions that you set up like an absolute course in the water. That's like really good. Inflatable apps. So Celsius kind of used that as like the dance floor. So you had people, I never even really thought about crazy, it is like people are standing in the water on the water. And as the DJ is DJing off the back of the boat. And it's just crazy. We got there. We got on one boat and then that next boat took us to the next boat. I mean, not even that. They had the inflatable dance floor, they had, they had inflatable pickleball, they had inflatable watersides, they had inflatable volleyball. I feel like that's normal. What? No, that setup is not normal. They set up many like inflatable. Out of all those things, you do, like think about it, logistically, the craziest part was people were just standing and like literally like they were at a concert off a boat. It felt like we were in on land. I know. Like in the middle of water. Double craziness is all the other things that they had. I don't know, I just feel like I've seen like like volleyball inflatable and all that. I've never seen people like, I've never seen 200 people. They had to cut it off because there was too many people that swam up to it. I think Chelsea is like kind of made it private, but you could just swim under the boat. You could just literally swim to it because like it's. Yeah, it's in the water, which is really it's security on on every end of like the inflatables. Yeah. Which is a funny site. But I think if you just wanted to get in on the inflatables, you literally just swim under the boat and you kind of pop up in the middle of it. The water is like not, it's like five and a half feet deep where we were. Yeah, you can just wait. What? Yeah. Yeah, the water could walk in. Are you walking kidding me? No, that was the whole thing. Yeah, it's a sand bar. Yeah. Oh, yeah, people were literally walking to it. Oh, I thought we were in like 80 foot water. No, all those people were standing in the water. Yeah, they weren't standing in the water. Those people weren't, why do I completely misjudge this situation? That's crazy. I remember when we got there, we had to climb off the jet ski. And we had to, in order to get to the bigger boat or the party was, we obviously, we had to take multiple boats to get there. And the jet ski was like the final little taxi cab to take us over. And it parked next to an obstacle course. And then we had to get off the jet ski and climb over the obstacle course. Like, we still haven't gotten wet and we were on our hands and knees, like crawling across in front of a bunch of people. It really gave me, it gave me the ick. That was crazy just thinking about it. When I got dropped off, I'm like, you fell in the water. I fell in the water like four times. Yeah, the obstacle course was too much for John to handle. Yeah, it was so slippery. And like, if, like, you had to cross over like a what, what is that walking surf? Oh, yes, yes. It was almost like a, almost like an inflatable bed. And you had a walk across. Yeah. I'm just floating in the water, yeah. It's insane. But other than that, it was my first vocal bass experience. You know, it was fucking incredible. I was blown away. I can't believe people do that. I can't believe, like, if I did that during my high school years, it's crazy how many different ways, like, people celebrate through, like, college and high school. I don't know, I'm trying to think, we didn't do anything exciting like that in high school. Well, we lived in the high school. No, that was a crazy thing. No, but we didn't have, like, one thing yearly that was like, oh, yeah. Yes, Vernon Hills Day's brother, and it was legendary. Yeah, we had color wars, which was really big when, when every class, it's so funny. I don't know if like a lot, if every high school is like this, but our school was really competitive when it came to school spirit, which is like such. No, I think it was you. That was just you, bro. And then you dragged me into it, just like you, whatever color you had to represent. Yellow, blue. That was strictly you. Wait, really? I mean, everyone else got into it, but you were like really rallying the troops. Who would steal like a car, like, like, Ruffer? David, did you steal the dark car? For yellow, I brought a yellow vacuum. Do you remember that? Yeah. It was a ginormous vacuum cleaner. I went to Goodwill, and I was like, I'm going to buy everything that's yellow. And my total was like $30 for that day, which was fucking crazy to spend on a bit at that time. You call that a bit? It was a bit like that. It was cameras, bro. It was live action. There's live action vlogs before the vlogs. Yeah, that was crazy. I mean, I don't know. I thought everyone kind of. It almost felt like not to like glaze myself here, but wasn't like more of the popular kids were into the school spirit? Rather than like, no, not? Yeah, no, for sure. Okay, so what the fuck were you guys making me feel like a weirdo for? Well, because you just like took it to the next level. Yeah, really? I feel like I was joining like a good group. I feel like I was showing them like my way. No, I mean, our grade definitely was super into the school spirit, but. Okay, are we going to be distracted by this the whole time, Natalie? I mean, it does look so cool. I'm not going to lie. We have the best fucking view right now in Miami. It's crazy. In Miami. That's fucking beautiful. How are we doing? Right now people pulled up to the dock and there's like Lamborghinis and Bugatti's shaped like boats. You could drive them in the water and they just pulled up to the dock and I think everyone's kind of a brain fart. It's staring at it. Miami's so fucking cool. We've talked about this on the podcast before, but like we're right next to the club where we're staying right now. And we could literally boat to the club and then boat to the after party and boat back home without ever touching a road or a car. You could go like 5-10 miles apart and not have any interaction with any car. I think that's fucking crazy. I think pulling up to somebody's backyard for an after party is the most bizarre thing ever because it feels like you're sneaking in. Oh, cool, yeah. And there's most of the time no security there because like for some reason they just trussed to the boats because they're like, okay. I mean, yeah, maybe there's no pirates. I don't know. But very, very highly recommend if you're out in Miami or trying to sneak into an after party, take a boat, no one will question you. Even a small little pontoon, just swim right up. Pull on up. My best friend got married and do the day. David was really stressed. Second or third best friend or fourth? Because you have me and John sitting right here, so watch your fucking mouth. The whole wedding, David was texting me. He's like, where are you? What are you doing? Wait, what? What are you saying? What? Well, yeah, because we were trying to lock in like a big brand deal. I know, but like. Why do you think I only texted you like four times? Wait, did you really think that that was a lot? Well, yes, you were blowing me up like crazy. Listen, we're doing these new videos that I know the goal was for me not to edit them. And it's the beginning stages of hiring an editor. He's really great, but it's taking, you know, you yourself to teach someone to edit like in the style that you want the video to be edited. So that's currently what we're doing. So it actually feels right now like I'm editing more. So a lot of work. More than I was before. Well, there's also way more different, like these cameras are not just like. Fucking sucks at it this. It's just like. Because I only edit on iMovie and the footage that we have can't really be edit on iMovie. So like I'll make a cut on iMovie for certain parts of the video. And then I'll give it to our editor and then he'll redo those cuts. Yeah, it's just a pain in the ass. But I think we're getting there, like video by video. I think we're gonna get to the point where I'm not looking at the edit anymore. And we're just going and posting. I'm really excited for that. That's a lie, but okay. No, I don't think it's a lie, I think it's pretty good. And what's really good, we said we're gonna post once a week. We never specified what day. So, and all the comments were like, damn, he posted even though I posted eight days later instead of seven. We're like, fuck yeah, he did it. And I honestly, I agree. As long as it's within the week, we're good. Two. Yeah, so we're gonna keep that up. Amen, honey. Wait, so what were you gonna say about that?
- What was the wedding? - What was the problem? - No, I just wanted to call you out. - And I was that I needed you? - Yeah, that you're being annoying. - Yeah, I mean, did you just like-- - It's trying to celebrate your best friend. - No, I'd get that, I get that. But it was just like a very pivotal moment in what we were doing. - I'm sorry that the wedding interfered with the vlog schedule. (laughing) You know, I think you have a condition that I'd like to call out. - Okay, great, see, this is where I thought you were going with this. - Okay, this is where I wanted to go originally, but I pivoted. - Okay, it's called Tricotillomania. - Tricotillomania. - Do you guys what that is? - Tricotillomania. That I need like two or more people with me at all times, or I need the approval of two or more people? - She's too to fancy. - Why? - I said, that's just codependency. - Is this like a medical condition, or is this like-- - This is a medical condition. - Like psychological or like-- - No, it's just a thing. - Like my neurons, I guess it's psychological. Like my blood vessels, or what do you mean? - No, okay, so it's a behavioral like thing, that you do, where someone has the urge to pull, twist, or play with their hair like incessantly. You do this all the time, and it courses me out, 'cause I hate hair, as we know. - Oh, this is definitely to do with b-texting you multiple times. - No, totally separate. - Tricotillomania. - Tricotillomania. - Okay, go. - So you do this thing with your hair, where you like, you pull like one little strand and you twist it, like tight, and that's actually a condition. I was looking at it, this came up on my TikTok. - I don't even know that I do that. - Yeah, I don't even think I've never really noticed. - We've never seen it do it. - It's just all day, every day. - I only do it, like I only grab my hair when I don't like an edit. - That's not true. - That's not true. - I don't want to watch you guys. - I saw it on TikTok, and I was like, "Oh wow, this is like an actual thing." And David does this all the time. - I don't actually know what you're talking about. - I'll record you next time you do it, 'cause you do it every day. - Really? - I mean, you obviously don't realize it. - Well, it's during certain moments. - You just did it in the beginning of the podcast. - Oh, 'cause I probably was pissed, 'cause you were here. - I mean, that's fair, but unfortunately, it's real with me every day, so. - Yeah, that's true. John, what's, this is John's first time in Miami. What's your first impression? - John, this is your first time in Miami. - Yeah, the time I does all the fucking trip. - I don't think I was there. - Yeah, it's the first time. It's hot. It's really humid. It's like Philippines. - Yeah, which is why it confuses me when you talk about humidity, so weird. - I mean, you're from a place that's like, - I love Philippines. - This should be like your prime, dude. - What? - Because of the food? - Yeah, dude. - But your body should be thriving in this heat. (laughing) - No, seriously. - It doesn't do, no, no. - This is like Superman going back to crypto. Actually, that's probably worse for him. But, wow, this is your crypto night. Philippines is your crypto night. - Yeah, it's just like the humidity and everything. And usually in the Philippines, I'm always inside anyways. - I don't know why you say that. - Why? - You said that about the Filipinos, 'cause you're always like, Filipinos hate the sun. - Yeah, they do. - And then when we went to the Philippines, a bunch of people were outside. 'Cause they had to be outside for that specific moment, but if they didn't have to, they would choose not to. - I feel like. - I understand that you're Filipino, and you're a lot of talk about your people, but I feel like you're making a big generalization there. - Rob. - All right, check your DMs after this podcast. - Hey, Filipino, I don't know what he's talking about. - They're like, I have Filipino. - That's right, we hate the sun. (laughing) - They're gonna be like, "Hey, I'm Filipino, "and I live in Miami." (laughing) - And I love it. - I'm in a big Miami community here where we visit Philippines during the hottest time. 'Cause we love it. - I don't know. I think Miami, if Los Angeles didn't exist, I think I'd be here. I just don't, I don't see another place that I would like. I just love, I think the roads are open. - Okay. - Other than when they're not. I think like, I think there's, I think there's a good mix of like, you really feel like you're at the freeway, you got a lot of room, and then there's also congested streets. We're in LA, you don't really get that. In LA, it's like, it's the same street no matter what side you're on, the valley, or Hollywood, it's like pretty congested. - Okay. - And the streets are slower. - Yeah. - I don't know, I just like, I love the bridges here. There's these fucking half a mile long bridges. - You know what you don't miss? You don't see any mountains around here. - Yes, and I will say, I actually don't like the view of the water. - What? - That's so weird. - That's so weird. - That's so much better. - I think it's cool to access the water, but I'd rather look at like a city scape with the mounds in the back, like what we have at home. - I like water. - I just feel like there's no like a, like when I look at the city in LA, I'm like, I feel like motivated and I feel connected, and here I feel weirdly disconnected, and not like a, we're also, - Maybe in a vacation mode. - Vacation, yeah, it's like you're relaxed, you're a piece, you're not like in the hustle and bustle. You're the ocean, it's like. - I don't even use the word disconnected property. I use it like I'm like, I've like been like exiled from society, you know? - No, no, no, it's great. - It's peaceful. - At the dock, I was fishing out there for like four hours yesterday. - I know, that's fucking psychotic. - It was such a beautiful view, even though it's dark. - John, you're going to-- - So, Shoon, your year contract with us is out. - I know. - Me really, when? - I have no clue. August? - Yeah, what are you thinking? Are you gonna go back, or do you wanna keep working here? - I don't know. - Oh, really? - I don't know. - What do you mean? We'll walk you through it. - Well, are you gonna be vlogging still? - We'll see, we'll see how the vlogs go up until July, right now, I'm really liking the new style, and people are really digging it, so it's looking good. Wait, I mean, we'd still have a job for you, even if I wasn't vlogging. Probably even more so. - What, you do absolutely nothing if you're not vlogging. - No, I know, but then you'd have to like work harder on vibes, because we'd have to hang out more. So to pull you out of work would be worth it for me. What are you thinking? - I don't know. - What do you miss about your old job that you don't get here? - Knowing what you're gonna be doing. - Okay. - You know, there's a beauty to knowing what you're gonna do tomorrow, to not knowing at all what you're doing tomorrow. - Okay, I totally get that. Like you had a schedule. - Yeah. - And you knew that after 6 p.m. you're on work. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, okay, that's nice. - Well, you could make a schedule. - No, no, I mean like, I didn't hear about Miami until like, - Two days before. - Two days before. - But what were you talking about? - What are the perks of this job? Let's start there, because actually I know everything that you miss about your old job. What do you like about this job? What people ask you, what do you do for living? - Yeah. - Do people ask you that? - Yeah. - What do you say? - I literally told Scan, I'm like a production assistant, that's what I call myself. I had to give myself, I'm like, I can't be David, I'm like, 'cause I think he asked me also like, do you just introduce yourself as like David's roommate? I'm like, yeah, I did. 'Cause it depends on who I'm talking to. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so you wanna give yourself a more professional title? - No, I don't really care about titles, I mean. - Well, you came up with production assistant. - Well, yeah, that's just 'cause like, I barely know that. - You're telling everyone your director, huh? - I'm director. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not a director. - I'm head of all direction at David Abrac. I mean, you could really make up a name. None of us would ever fact check you or care. - Yeah, I know. - Maybe like, I'm David's manager. I'm president of David LLC. - Yeah, I'm gonna see what I'm gonna run, all my resume is gonna be like. - Please don't say that, 'cause then people will be like, what's going on over there? This is the president. - Wow, Natalie. - I'm kidding. (laughter) - All right, go, what's the positives, go? - Positives. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You definitely get a lot more free time. They're normal, nine to five. - Right, okay. - For sure. - Sure, I feel like you get to play video games during the day. - Yeah, yeah, you like always are playing video games. - Okay, not always relax. - John, there was a big Alex, our other roommate brought down John's table to DJ. We had like a little after party for a Celsius thing. And he was DJing in the corner on it. And the next day, he never put the table back into John's room. And it was a noticeable difference of how much I was seeing John. I saw John the entire day downstairs because he couldn't go upstairs to play video games 'cause his table was gone. - Well, I also needed my table because I was doing stuff for Ilya. - No, I understand that, but it was just. - How often throughout the day are you thinking about the video games? - You have an addiction, like a proper addiction. - Okay. - No, it's actually weird. It's not true, this is not true. - Yeah, John. - It's not true. - There's not true logging on during the day when you have like an extra 30 minutes. That's an addiction. - Yeah, okay. - Yeah, when you're like, when you have two things to do. - Yeah. - And there's time in between. - Yeah. - And you do multiple times a day throughout multiple days throughout the week. I think that's considered that would be an addiction. - I'm just time managing. - No, if you're thinking about it, multiple times a day is an addiction. How many times would you say you log onto that game a day on average? - He plays arc raiders, by the way. (laughs) Go over, go, go, go, go, go, John, give me a number quick. - Say like an hour and a half. - Okay, but how many different moments is that? - How many different moments? - Yeah, is that one go or do you spread that out through three different times? - Yeah, it's spread it out, putting on where I'm needed. - Okay, that's insane, no? - How is that insane? - I'm just like, if Julia, I just know, I'm like, all right, from six to 10, it's either we're gonna be watching a movie or we're gonna be doing something. So I'm gonna be required to go downstairs. But you love it so much where we'll all be hanging out as if all the friends will be down to the living room. We just watch the movie, we're debriefing. And John is just waiting to fuck you in the evening.
- Like itching so hard. - That is dude, you are thinking that you'll sit there while I'll be talking and you'll go, you'll go. Okay, that's how you know he's about to leave. All right, all right. (laughing) And I'll let you do one of those. - Yeah. - It's like, all right, like, I think we've hung out enough I'm going to move those things. - Yeah, I mean, dude, after watching movies for four hours, I mean, I would yes, I would want to get up. - I get it, I get that I have a really tough regimen for hanging out. - Sometimes. - But your girlfriend's on my side about it. - She loves doing that, it's not. - Yeah, I know. Why don't you love watching movies? - I do, I do love watching movies with you guys. It's just four, there's a limit to how many hours of movies we could watch. - It's not even that, even when we're just hanging and playing in poster, you're like, I gotta get the fuck out of here. 'Cause we've been playing in poster for three hours. What do you mean, dude? - Oh, dude, you know what we should do? - What? - We should play in poster right now on the pod with the three of us, okay? - That's impossible. - No, it's imposterable. So we have, well guys, it's so-- - That's not even like fun. - No, no, let's just try it. We have a third person here. You can give us a word, you can pour it to the poster, okay? Guys, Zane is gonna come up with a word for imposter and then the rest of us are gonna try to find out who the imposter is. I wanna see if this works on a podcast. So basically, how you play in poster is let's say the word is dog, right? There's four of us, three of us know the word and one of us is an imposter that doesn't know the word, okay? And you're trying to guess who doesn't know the word. And as an imposter, you're trying to fool the other people into thinking that you do know the word. And you go around the room and you each say one word. That's a loosely associated with the word. So John will go, so it's dog, so John will go rap and that will be referencing Snoop Dogg. Like we'll know, but then poster will be like, rap. What does that mean? - I promise you nobody. - No, if we take a rap. - Yeah, yeah. - And David claims he's the king of imposter. - Why can't you start easy like pause or something? - No, no, no, that, or 20 toes. - There's no one would have known that word, bro. - What do you mean no one would have known that word? - Nobody. - I would have been like, spot. - Great, that's amazing. Yeah, spots are good words. - Spot's good. - Okay, Zane's coming with the word. - Okay, the word is, there's no word. Everybody's imposter. - Okay, everybody close your eyes. - And then Zane, you, one by one. - Are you ready? - Mm-hmm. - Close your eyes, time. - Yeah. - Can we start close? - Yes, that is. - Guys, I am also self-proclaimed champion of imposter, so. - I'm actually not Taylor is. - You're actually not, yeah. - Taylor, what's on it, come mid. - Taylor is actually a queen of imposter. - Taylor is a queen of imposter. But she's not here right now, so that puts me at second blinds, okay. - Okay. - Wait, but I don't. - What? - Okay. - You don't know the word? - What? - Dude, were you not tapped? - 'Cause you're the imposter. - What? - Did you just admit that you're imposter? - I don't understand the setup of this what we're doing. I'm sorry. - Okay, let's start with where it's who wants to go first. I think Natalie should go. - Well, okay. - Okay, go. - Um, travel. - Oh, what the fuck? - Mm-hmm. - Okay, John. - We go this way. We always go this way. - Oh, okay. - Um, early. - Mm-hmm. - Mail. - Mail. - Okay, John. - We go this way, we always go this way. - Oh, okay. - Um. - Early. - Mm-hmm. - Mail. - Um. - Sprinter van. - Okay. - John. - Let me go far. Seven. - Okay. - Um. - Um. - It's not far. (laughs) - I mean, if it's imposter, you know. - No, but whatever. It's fine. Um. - Uh. - Uh. - Shall I like go closer? - Yes. - Okay. - Um. I'm going to say YouTube. - Okay. - Wow. (laughs) - The clever. - Sorry. - Uh. Nice. - I'll go. - I'm going to say. - I'll go pyramid. - Okay. - So everybody knows the word. I'll go shoulder. (laughs) (laughs) - Good. - It doesn't help that. John's over there. - Spitting out seven. - Okay. - I got that point. - What do you mean? - What do you mean? - What do you mean? - What do you mean? - Let it do his last word. - Okay, go. Final word. - Damn. - Okay. - Wall. (laughs) - Nice. - Right on. - Mm-hmm. - Way to go far. - I think it's David. - I still think it's Nat and I think she got lucky with the first word. 'Cause she wasn't, she's a travel. - Travel. - Yeah. - But she got tapped. My boat's Nat. - Dang it. - Um. - I think it's also Nat. - That's not you. - What? - Yeah. - Who's at least the first word? - I don't remember. - Spirit. - Sprinner. - Spirit in turn. - And your first word was? - I don't remember. Early. - Early. - Travel early. - So do we just. - Early? - Yeah. - Don't turn this on me. You little fucking psycho. (laughs) - I should be vote. - I mean, okay. - All right, let's go. - Three, two, one. - Nat. - Really? - Nat, you're voting me. - Yeah. - Who is it? - Were you it? - Yes, I was. - Wait, wait. Everybody was in Boston. - Yeah. - Oh my god. - Oh my god. - What? - Z. - What? - Z. - Z. - You're a fucking dick. - I gotta wait. I gotta be so hard. - Wait, that was crazy. - Wow. - Dude. - What the fuck? - We all were like, yeah, yeah. I mean, you're getting too close. - That's damn insane. - Okay. - Wait, that's the first time. - We all went off of Natalie's word then. - Yeah. - Oh my god. (laughs) - Natalie said, travel early. Sprinter. Seven. (laughs) Twenty were all impostor, but John's guess was still stupid. (laughs) Hey, you said I was close. I was like, all right, I'm gonna go far out here. - Damn, that's crazy. I just made that. - Guys, Ilya has now joined us here on the trip. It'll how you feeling about this weekly vlog thing. Do you think we can do it? How many weeks do you think we got left until we break our streak of being consistent? - Well, you already broke it. - No, I didn't break it. - You did. You totally posted. - On Tuesday. - Yeah, but that's not weekly anymore. - Yes, I said new vlogs every week. - Every week. - So every week, Monday through Sunday, it just has to be a different stretch of it. - Okay. - Do you know what I mean? - Yeah, you're just like-- - Like right now I'm good till I could post Monday, or I could post next Sunday Sunday. - Okay. - Yeah, that's good. - No, but it'll probably be the postal go up Mondays. That's the goal. - How am I feeling about it? - Like are you having fun? - Yeah, I mean, I can tell that you're not having fun though. You're very stressed. - Oh, well, I've actually been having a lot more fun. - We're having fun. Like, it's actually funny 'cause we are incredibly stressed, but it's been kind of a different kind of stress. - Yeah, it's different. It's not like-- - It's not like when we were staying up all night till like 6/7 in the morning trying to edit last night. - 6/7? Yeah, then it's-- - And like screaming at each other. - And it's a lot of screaming at each other. - 6/7. - Yeah, but it's not real. - It's also not like-- - It's not real. - It's just nice to do stuff. Like once a week. Like, it's just nice to like have a purpose, I guess. - Yeah, I agree. - How do you feel about it? - I like it a lot. - I'm glad that I really enjoyed this now because I have a question for you guys. And actually, this is like the perfect thing to ask with you being here. - Is it about sex? - It is about sex. - Hey, now you always wait for Ilya for that kind of stuff. Why don't you think that I am like-- - I would, but it was you and John. I know John doesn't like-- - I don't like it. - John, can you just talk about sex just a little bit? Like, you know what I mean? - And maybe John's opinion could be valid here too. - Okay. - Okay, so let's say this is a hypothetical scenario. - Yeah, obviously it doesn't happen to you. - Obviously a legit. Let's say that you are hooking up with somebody. I'm a woman. - You're talking about what you want. - What? - Yeah, okay. Looking up. Like sex or no? - It can be anything. - Okay, sorry. - And what is this alleged person wearing? - Dude, please. - Sorry, sorry. - Okay, so let's say you are hanging out with some guy at a bar or whatever. You go back to his place. You guys are like-- You hook up vibes are there, right? - Yeah. - But then you start hooking up and you're like-- You kind of like are like, I'm not feeling this. Either way, I guess you could go either way. You could be a guy not feeling it or you could be a girl not feeling it. But how do you get out of that scenario? - Oh, this has happened to me. - It's happened to me, too. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I mean, I'm sure it's happened to everybody, but it's like-- - It's too wide, but crazy story. - I don't know why. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is what happened? - Anyway, give me the advice first and then we'll go into the story. - I actually don't have good advice. I just like panic and I'm like, I'm sorry. I like make something up. I'm like, I have a headache. Can't do this. You always have to set up-- you have to set yourself up for that ahead of time. And the girls do this better than anybody. - Like what? - They always say they have an early morning. - Yeah. - You always say that. And then you can leave at any point in time, whether it's good or bad. And then if it's really good, you're just like triple flattering the person. - You can. - I'll just call. I'll tell them I'll be there later. - Wait, now what Natalie's saying is like if you're-- I assume what you're asking is like if you're mid-make out and you're like, I'm not feeling it. You can't be like, I haven't an early morning. - Oh, like just pulling away. - Yes. - That second? - Yeah. - Oh, you go to the bathroom and you say your girlfriend texted you, right? - What if they're at your place? - What do you mean? You-- I've-- - And you leave your own home? - Yes. - My girlfriend texted me, I have to leave my own home. - Yes, yes, yes. I mean, that's happened to me. Especially when we were vlogging, it was a lot easier. I remember this one specific time. - Yeah. - I was hooking up with a girl and I really didn't want to. And I was like, oh my god, I literally used Zane as an excuse. Zane is that saddle ranch. All my friends are there and they're getting dry. I have to go. I have to go to work. - No, Nat, that's like really hard. I actually don't think anybody can give you good advice. Like when you're there,
- Why, you're a girl, you could literally leave whenever. - But it's so incredibly uncomfortable because that person is gonna feel so insecure. - Your brother, fuck would you stay there and hook up with someone you don't want to? - Yeah. - Yeah, there's no easier. - I don't know. Like you're saying if you're hooking up with someone and all of a sudden their breath is really bad and you're like, "I can't, I can't, I can't actually "could you do this?" - Yeah, vibes are, went from 100 to zero and you're like, "Ah, I can't." - Did that happen to you? - No. - I mean, it went into happen recently. - Dude, okay, hold on. Do you remember in Paris when I fucking, that girl came over and she looked-- - Oh, yeah, yeah. - She looked nothing like her Instagram photos, yeah. - Ah, I do remember, wait, what happened? - She looked nothing like the photo. - Like AI? - Yeah, like, I mean AI wasn't even like a thing back then. It was more just probably Photoshop, but-- - Okay. - But like, what didn't she, like the hair color was different? - No, no, no, hardly. He was a completely different person. - Completely different person. - Yeah, and I like, didn't want to be rude to her. So I was like, I was texted David on the side. I was like, can you please call me and say that there's a work emergency? (laughing) So he facetized me, he goes, hey dude, so this dope works contract needs to be sent right now. (laughing) - Did I really say that? - Yeah. - What did you say? - And I'm like, oh, I see my partner's calling me, I have to go. (laughing) - No. - It's an emergency. - Oh my God. - And what made it worse is she was fucking, she spoke Russian, so like, I immediately had this weird connection with her. And then I didn't know what to say. I was like, and I, yeah. - Wait, could you hook up with a Russian girl? - What do you mean? - Like, what would I be into it? - Yeah. - I was actually talking to, I was talking to Emma about this yesterday. - You were talking to your girlfriend. (laughing) - She can't speak quickly. You were looking up at the Russian girl. - Yeah, well, I was telling her, I was like, I don't think I'd be able to, 'cause I'd be like, hooking up with my mom. - Yeah, totally, you know? So like, I've met girls out that are like, very, very pretty. - Yeah. - And like, there's been a time where, where like a girl tried flirting with me in my, in Slovak, and I'm like, oh, this is like, completely the opposite way of like flirting for me. And this is like, it's like, it freaks me out. - Yeah, completely. - Like, it's like, my parents are talking to me. - Yeah. - 100%. - It's even been to the point, I can't watch anything on porn, that's European. - Yeah, I've tried that, I can't. - It freaks on. - John, you've watched Filipino porn all the time. - He's kidding. - I'm really not kidding at all. - Jason, take that, take that. - Jason, keep that in the pocket. Jason, replay that shit. - Jason, cut that shit, I'll post that in Instagram. - 'Cause all I know is that, it just reminds me of family. And that's all I'm thinking about. - Yeah, I mean, it's so weird how that, it only affects people like you and I, but like, if we just grew up in that culture, it'd be completely fine, is that weird? - Yeah. - Like, I'm saying like, if we grew up in that country, it'd be fine. - Yes, yes, but I think it's 'cause like, I've separated, like my parents, my parents are all of Europe in my head, like they are European. And then America is like this, what? - That's a crazy blanket. - No, not all of Europe. I'm just saying anything Eastern European. - So, what do you guys recommend, I do? - I hate him. - Oh my God. - Are you talking John right now? What are you talking about? - I hate him in the face. - What? - Yeah, just punch him, punch him bro. - No, I don't like how your toes are pointed right at me. - Bro, you just said you're dick in my face, so give me a break. His dick was not in your face, literally. - Why are you like this? - Guess what? - What kind of a fucking crazy accusation is that right now? - I can just tell by the way you're saying this, that you know what I'm saying is factual. - My dick was in your, when did that happen? That make, you're making it sound like we were hoping up. - None of you guys saw it. - No, none of you guys saw it. - You're not about that. - I saw, you're making it sound like it was hooked up. Where did it, where was my dick in your face? - It was in my face. - Oh, right now, during the pod. - Yes. - Well don't make it sound like that my friends are gonna think we're fucking. - No, they're not. - Yeah, do you know what the scariest part is? I know we joke about us hooking up a lot, but like when people genuinely think it, - Did I got this long? - Oh, so scary. - Oh my God, it's so fucking, - Oh my God, we're seeing in the world. So bad. - Are you being, are you? - I'm kidding. There's like far worse things in the world. - Oh my God, you know, obviously like, it's just like, it's bizarre to me. - No, there are people that still think that you guys are genuinely in love, genuinely. - And I get confused when someone's like, you'll end up with that person. I'm like, I guess maybe nobody's had a relationship. - From the outside, it doesn't make sense, 100%. But like, they also don't see you're like, all their stuff that you go through. - I like day to day. - Yeah, like what? What's specified? - When you blow him in vice versa. - Uh oh. - What, what were you gonna say? - Nothing. - Okay. (laughing) - The best podcast ever. - My friend. - My friend. - Nothing. (laughing) - Ciao, are you gonna say anything? - No. (laughing) - Do you wanna make sure no one has anything to say? (laughing) - We're all good. - Yeah, what? - Um, this past weekend when I was at that wedding, there was a lot of like, old friends that I haven't seen in from since childhood. And one of my girlfriends from camp, I won't name who it was, but she was telling me this story about how she was, like in the bathroom or whatever, one day I was going to the bathroom, and she looked down at her underwear, and the tag had in Sharpie, NM, the NM initials on it, 'cause when I went to camp I would put Sharp, my mom would put Sharpie, NM on all my underwear. - Oh, your initials? - My initials, yeah. So she had my underwear from camp, but I haven't been to camp in like, over 10 years. - Maybe she's just like, excuse me? - Yeah. - What does that mean? - Like she's still wearing the underwear, my underwear. - Well, you look down at her? - Time out, she still fits in the same underwear from, oh I guess 10 years years. - Yeah, I really 15. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, girls keep underwear that long? - I don't know how, she's kept it for that long. - 10-year-old underwear? Is that not kind of crazy underwear? - No, it's insane. - I don't feel like girl underwear can rip easier, right? - 100%, I don't know how she's still wearing them, I don't know how they haven't like, just even from washing them. - Disappeared. - Free of it, just dissolved. - But she was telling us this story, like so confidently, and we were like, we should probably just throw those away. - That's crazy. - It's crazy that the Sharpie didn't even wash away. - I know. - I have a couple of your underwear from, from the one where we were kids, and yeah. - You still wearing them? - I'm so wearing them to her all the time. - Really? - I think I'm wearing it right now. - Well we wear our, each other's underwear because of the cleaners, mix and match them up. - Yeah. - You guys should label them. We don't live together anymore. Have you been coming in my room? - No. - This is, this is interesting. This is a real poll that ran on Twitter. This is, the options are red or blue. And the question is, everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who press the red button survive. Which button would you press? - Sorry, if less than 50% press blue, then everybody that pressed red survives. - Correct. - I mean the obvious choice to press blue. - Cool, I would press blue. You would press blue? - Yeah. - I would press blue too. The final result, 98,000 people voted. 58% of people chose blue. 42% chose red. - Whoa. - Why? - 42. - That is a win-win. So, red you win no matter what. - Right. - Like think about it. Maybe if your life was online, you'd go differently. Red you win no matter what. But you fuck up the blue vote. That's all that happens. - That's crazy. - That's crazy. - Correct. - But everyone that's red wins. - Yeah, but psychologically, it's kind of like, - So now what happened? - Do you trust the human race? 'Cause you could actually kind of rally everyone to do both. 'Cause you could just be like, everyone, red. If you vote red, everyone will live. Everyone will red, everyone will red. Right? But that makes more sense than trying to rally everyone to vote the blue. - I mean, blue is like guaranteed. And the red is like, if they don't. - No, blue's not guaranteed. Red is guaranteed. Red's guaranteed. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who press the red button survived. - I know, but like, if everybody just presses blue, then we're good. - Yes, but that's you counting on everyone to press blue. - Yeah, like you can't trust. - You can't trust everybody. So like-- - You can't trust everyone. - So like, the dilemma is like, you have a family. You have kids. Are you gonna choose blue? - So what happens? - And hope humanity, all votes blue. - But then what happens if less than, if more than 50% press blue, then is all red die? - No, red does never, red never die. - Oh, red never die. - That's why I said red is a win win. - Yeah, red's a win win. - Oh yeah, we're all pressing red. - Well, what? - What do we know we're all pressing red? - I don't know, that feels like that's where that's-- - I think on a Twitter poll, it works. We're 58% of people choose blue, but I wonder how that would play out in real life. - I mean, it's not just like politics? - Yeah, it's lily politics, that's, that's, it's a political poll. This is our first time on politics on the pod. Congratulations. Now I have something that somebody built on. So you know that lever situation I was telling you? Like if there was a train coming, you have the option to pull the lever. - Right, and it would kill like either one person or three people. It's hurling towards three, but if you press it, it kills one person. - Right. - But it's the fact that you pressed it, it makes you whatever, so there's a new one. If you pull the lever, millions will die. If you refuse, you will be considered a traitor and placed on the track as well. There is a long line of people behind you who will then be asked to pull the lever if you refuse. - Well, okay, so let me just get this-- - It's very similar to the red and blue question. - Right. - No, but now my life is in jeopardy. - Huh? - Yeah. - No, I'm being placed on the track. - Correct, but you're about to kill millions of people if you pull the lever. - That's a tough one. - Okay, so I'm either killing millions of people or-- - Or you're laying yourself down too, and you're like, this decision is out of my hands. - I'm laying myself down on the track.
with three other people, and somebody else gets to decide what level they're supposed to. Yeah, I have my answer. I mean, even if I lay down on the track with three other people, the next person behind me that has to pull the lever is obviously going to kill the lesser amount of us. You're saying obviously, but this lever already has not been pulled a million times. Yeah. A million people have declined. So, are you going to continue? Oh, that's how they got to the million people over there. And I think like being tied to the tracks is a little dramatic. It's just pretend you're like infected with the bug, being tied to the tracks is physical and you're there for a long time, but it's just pretend you're like, "Do you know what I mean?" That one feels like way harder than the other scenario. Yeah. But let's pretend you're like infected with something. And if you pull the lever, everyone that's infected dies, but you stop the infection. I honestly think there's an argument for it to be pulled because it has to stop at some point, right? So, if you pull the lever, it's gone. Then you're just like inevitably making the death toll rise, right? Wait, like someone's going to do it at some point. Yes, and now the number will be higher. I think it's almost like, I don't know, that's actually another red and blue question in my opinion. Because that's another like, "Can you trust humanity for eternity?" Forever. Yeah. Or do you stop the bleeding? That's really. See, these other things we get into here in the views podcast, those are two really, really difficult questions. Incredibly difficult. Have you seen this one where there's like a billion dollars? But for. I really hope you get this right. Yeah. For a billion dollars. Okay. It doesn't matter. Any time of the year, once a month, you get pulled into the ocean somewhere. You don't know where. Let's say you're sleeping or something, next second, you're in the ocean, but you have to survive for 30 seconds. Yeah. And then you come back and you're fully dry, like nothing ever happened. Yeah. It's for a full year, every day. For a full year. Yeah. Every day for 30 seconds. Yeah. I'd say once a month. How about once a month? No, no, no, no. The thing is full. I think it's every day. Every day is a little much, dude. That's like, it's a billion dollars. Every day for. I think it's an easy, easy yes. What? I think I could do it. Every day 30 seconds? That's just a lot of pain. Like, what's the worst? What's the worst situation? I mean, you're dropped into the Arctic. Yes. That's probably the worst situation. Freezing. You just. We're sleeping in bed next day. Yeah. But the whole thing is when you're popped back, you're popped back into like your dry clothes and you're completely dry. Mm-hmm. Have you been to something cold, like that cold and then you just get off, like you don't, you're just, you're like, oh. I understand, but it's 30 seconds. I don't think it'll kill you. It definitely won't kill you. And then other people's arguments is like being dropped in like a shark's, like nesting ground, but also like 30 seconds. Yeah. I think you could do that. You think you could survive 30 seconds with a shark? Yes. Yeah. You guys are crazy. Obviously. You just popped in. I feel like the shark's going to take 30 seconds to sniff out what's going on. Yeah. Sharks don't just like go up and attack you. Let's see. You plop in. But there's always a chance. It depends. Where is a chance, for sure. Yeah. But what if you dropped into like where a fisherman is like currently chumming the waters? Yeah. There's a chance. You use some wife in the church. There's a thousand percent chance. Sorry. There's a big chance that you're going to die. But you go from a shark. You go from a shark, but you get a billion dollars on the end and you get a crazy story. And everyone would think you're a legend. They'd be like every 30 seconds. Yeah. Yeah. But also like tell a person like to water. Yeah. But there's like those 40 foot waves. Have you seen that? I think you're in the middle of that. That night. At night. At night. At night. 30 seconds. Hold your breath. You could hold your breath for 30 seconds. The man. Not while you're being pummeled by waves. Okay. There's no way. Or it would be dangerous as if the wave is next to like like like rocks. Yeah. Yeah. And it throws you into rocks and it kills you. I think that's kind of unfair. It should just be one. But that's a chance. Like middle of the ocean. Okay. What's your answer? I mean, it's going to be tough. I probably wouldn't. You wouldn't? That's what I'm like. Last one earlier. If you'd have sex with me for a billion dollars. That's an easy one. What do you say? Oh, I had a better question for John. We were driving by the art gallery. Okay. Would you jerk me off for two pieces of art in there, but you have no idea how much it's how much the art is worth. It could be a replica or it could be the original. It could be a $500 piece of art. Yeah. It could be a $1.5 million piece of art. It could be a $10 million piece of art. Would you take the risk and jerk me off? Yeah. I think it's a win-win because you get to jerk me off. No, I would jerk you off for that too. Yeah. I mean, I would jerk you off and hope it was the $500 piece of art. That's true. That's why I had a killer story. That's easy. It's not even like there's not really a money stake, Sarah. And that'd be so funny. It's a replica. It's fake. But the trauma is real. The trauma is real. All right, guys. It's all the time we have today's pod. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you for John joining us. Ilya, Jingleheimer Schmidt, Zane. Thank you for joining us. Natalie and Natalie's feet that are pointed at me currently. We'll see you guys for the next episode on Thursday.
