The podcast features a lively mix of personal updates, humorous anecdotes, and reflective conversations. Key moments include Joe Volpus announcing the birth of a daughter, adding a layer of heartfelt fatherhood humor, and the vlogger's disrupted content plan due to Tesla’s event postponement. The group shares funny stories about car preferences, friendship dynamics, and family traditions, including David’s iconic Mercedes obsession and the "front camera broken" joke between Joe and the host. They also explore deeper themes like communication in relationships—highlighted by a conflict over a secret Harry Potter trip—and societal pressures around success and marriage. Personal memories from World War II, especially through grandparents’ stories, underscore how history shapes identity. The emotional intensity of rewatching *Avengers: Endgame* is celebrated, with the hosts noting how deeply familiar they are with the film’s plot. The segment concludes with a highlight of a viral, extreme "naked Marvel podcast" on TikTok, which brings a mix of absurdity and community connection. Overall, the episode balances personal life, humor, and reflection, emphasizing transparency, shared experience, and the joy found in both big moments and small, everyday interactions.

Mercedes so like that's why whenever I was getting cars for people initially it was always Mercedes yeah and then when I got my model X I was like oh my God Tesla yeah so like the cars I would surprise people with were direct like there it was me mirroring the things I love yeah yeah yeah but yeah Mike does not like his Mercedes too small too small he's like he's kidding he's kidding oh

it together he would always ditch me for Chrissy Teigen events he loves Chrissy Teigen and John legend so like and it got to the point where like he he was like it started where he would go to like her book signing and then he would like get invited to their house for dinners yeah and like they progressive they got closer and closer to Chrissy Teigen and John legend yeah and like whenever he wasn't here editing like when he said he was busy yeah I'd be like where the fuck are you going and it started to get to the point where he like wouldn't even tell me cuz he knew like I'd give him shit for always go to Chrissy Teigen and John legend House and then I and then he called me once and then it was just the it was FaceTime and it wasn't it was it was it was on his face but it was on the back it was on the back camera yeah and it was pointing to a letter he got from Chrissy Teigen wishing him congrats on the baby and flowers from Chrissy Teigen and John legend and he's like oh my

Chrissy got me for the baby or then I call them back again a fourth time yeah and then it was me wearing my protect my watch and I did the same joke I did the same joke on him I'm like oh
- Well my front camera's broken. (laughter) - Can you see my watch? (laughter) - Wow. - That's Joe and I off camera humor. - Those are good guys. - I love calling Joe. - Yeah. - That's really good. - That's what I call Joe. - No Joe's got a very, very special sense of humor. - Yeah, I'll give him a-- - It's like dad humor. - Well now it's good that he's a dad. - It is super dad humor. He's gonna crush it as a dad. They have a baby girl. Which I think if I was to have a kid, I'd want a girl. - Yeah. - Yeah, I think that's kind of what I'm leaning towards. What do you want now? - Um, I think I want a girl too. - Yeah, I just think-- - Why do you want a girl? - 'Cause they're so cool. Like it's just like they're just like-- - Yeah, they have super powers. - Yeah. - I think I was like, you're really good like boy mom though too. Like I feel like I'd make a real, like a real gentleman out of my son. - You would be a good boy mom. - Yeah. - You understand how boys are. - Yeah. - Yeah, okay, I could see that. - Yeah. - Do you think I'd be a good boy mom? Or dad? - Boy mom. (laughter) - Are you comfortable with me transitioning? - Yeah, I think like, I think so maybe. - Yeah, but if you were to entrust me in raising a kid. - Like what would it-- - No mom, my mother's out of the picture. The mother's out of the picture. She fled the town. She doesn't want anything to do with a kid. I have to raise this kid. It's a boy or girl. - I think you'd do a better job with a girl. - Really? - I think you'd be more like carrying a nurturing with like a baby girl. - Yeah. - I think a boy you would like think that they're kind of like you and like kind of maybe put them like, you put them in like not high stress level situations but like you would like test them because that's the way like you kind of work. - Oh yeah. - And that's the way you act, you know. - I don't think you've talked about this before. I don't think I like I'm gonna have like high expectations for my kid. Like I'm not gonna be like, like I don't think I'm ever gonna like live through my kid and like try to relive the glory days of like my tennis. - Yeah. - You know like I'm not gonna be like a, I don't know. Because once you get out there. - Really? - Yeah. - Everything, every time you say shit, like. - It's just opposite. - It's the complete opposite of what you actually would genuinely do and how you genuinely are. - I'm gonna get my kid in a NASCAR. That's for sure though. (laughs) - And I want him to be the best NASCAR driver. - That would be sick. - Yeah. I don't know. I'll look into it. But I don't know. Is there a way to get a girl or a boy specifically? - I think they're honestly might be. - My neighbors. - Oh really? - I think there is now. - Oh yeah, you match the sperm. - Yeah, there's some sort of eggs. Then you put them inside. - Something like that. - Oh, like that scientific shit. But my neighbor used to tell me, I was also young, so he would lie to me. But he used to tell me, if the woman sleeps on her ear and folds her ear in half, she'll get a girl. - Really? That sounds so right. - Yeah, I don't know why your neighbor now. - He's a, he's a, he's a, he's a job. No, he's like a, he was like a youth pastor. - Okay, a great. (laughs) - No, he's really cool. He's spinning that way. - No, all the neighbor gets like 10. - I know why he said that to me. I wonder if he, I wonder if that was like a common, I don't know. - Like folklore or something? - Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I wonder. - We did that. - We were filming a little bit yesterday. And I had like an out-of-arty experience filming. We were filming that bit where. - Well not only were we filming, but we were filming at Vardons for his birthday. - Yeah. - And we were filming on the ADD, on the old cameras. - Yeah. - Which feels totally different by the way than the new cameras. - Yeah. - Yeah, okay, yeah. - Yeah, and we were filming this bit not where it was like, I was saying, I'm dead. So I'm like saying goodbye to everybody. It's footage that only could be used if I was dead. So I was like, yeah, I died, I'm gone, and everyone's kind of standing there. And so Dave cut together this montage. It was like setting that up. But then as I was doing it, I was like, oh, shit. I was like, wow, I'm dead. And I thought, and I thought, wow, if I was dead, this would be exactly what I would be thinking about if I was dead. Like this, that was my happy place. - Wow. - Yeah, like filming is like, I was like, wow, filming is everything to me. Everything to me, other than my kids, right? You have my kids, you mean? But like, you know, obviously that's stuff. But that, that to me was like, wow. Like if I did die in that moment. - Well, it's kind of beautiful. - That's like everything to me. So interesting. And we don't film as much anymore like that, you know? So I was like, wow, I really, I left that party like, damn, I miss filming. So fun. Especially when like, you know, nicks around and seizes around. - Yeah, Jonah, and that family's really easy to film with. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very rare like, there's not a lot, as I've gotten older, and like we've filmed more, I'm very sensitive to people being. - Yes. - So not wanting to film? - Yeah. - Which is most people. Like most people, not that they don't want to film, but like, like, zane for example, like when things aren't going funny. - Yeah. - It stresses them out. - Sure. - But like, if we're filming, me and you. - Yeah. - And we're not being funny. - Yeah. - It doesn't matter. - Yeah, it doesn't matter. - It doesn't matter with Jonah. It doesn't matter with Susie. - Yeah. - It doesn't matter with Vardon. - Yeah. - And you could straight up, you could look at him and you could be like, why aren't you being funny right now? Like you could say the most fucked up shit. You wouldn't even say to anybody, could you imagine if I turned to Zane and said that? If I was like, Zane, that's just, whatever you just said, that was not funny at all. Saying, what's slapped me? I mean, move cities. But it's like, it is really interesting, like, I'm really, yeah, I get stressed. Like even our, even our filmer that we have, scan, like I get stressed, calling him. Cause I'm like, cause it's not, it's, it's not shooting fish in a barrel when we film. Like it really, it's, sometimes it's a long process and like, for a lot of people that don't, that didn't do this full time like we did, it's hard to see what we're going for. And like, what's going to come out at the end of it? Cause sometimes it takes a long road just to get to one joke and that's like, that's the fun of it. Yeah. But yeah, that's, it's really interesting that you bring that up because you are really the one person, like the top, top person, that I could be like, yeah, we'll just figure it out with Jason for three hours. And if it doesn't work, I'll just, at the end of it, I'll be like, I'm so sorry, Jay and you're big. Ah, it's fine. And then we'll try again another day. Like, yeah, and this is something really cool about that. But yeah, we filmed a bit. It was like Jason, Jason started and he's like, if you're watching this, I'm dead. Yeah. And David put together a lit montage for you guys. And I was like, what? And he's like, yeah, start editing. So I have to work on a emotional montage for Jason, but he said I probably won't have to use it for like 30 years. Yeah, never know. And he says, he said immediately when he passes, he wants me to post it. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Day of. Day of day. I won't be able to get it up day of. I don't know. I think it'll be fine. Really? Because he said if I died, he'd go right away. He'd try to milk, he'd try to milk my death for as long as possible. And I got a verbal, I got the podcast too. I have it. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. No, I didn't. I said, can I have the podcast if you die? He said, yeah. He said, you can run into the crowd. Wait. Why wouldn't you? No, I was, no, I was, I said, I'm going to be, like, I'm going to be killed and then you're also going to fucking kill off the entire audience. Like, I can't let you do that. Oh, he's up. I just heard the joke part. That's part. All right. Yeah. And I shall continue. Yeah. Oh, you guys want to do it together? Yeah, yeah. And I will continue. Okay. If we just speak me and her though, I bet it turned into Giggly squad. I don't know. My mom told me I got to stop talking over and out. Really? Yeah. My mom was serious today. She was just, please shut up. You do, like, you literally never, ever let me speak. She goes, well, I'm not the least speaking. Just please let her talk sometimes. I'm like, did you nine the room with us? You don't get it. She boring. She's so fucking boring. You just like the sound of your own voice. No, but my mom came over yesterday and I do it every time. No, you run out of things to say and excitedly listen. I read it. This is what happens. You run out of things to say and then you throw it to Nat. And by the time Nat has something to say, I bet the time that starts talking, something does pop into your head. That's really fun. And so now you're like, oh, and actually, yeah, that's really funny. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Mental note. I'm going to let Natalie talk more. But my mom was here. I'm done. My mom was here. And for the last couple of years, I've really been into World War II documentaries. Every time my parents come by, I'm like, I keep forgetting to ask them about World War II. They're not that old. But their grad parents are or their parents are. Yeah. What was it like in Slovakia? World War II? Yeah. World War II. I have serious memories of 9/11. And I was six. Yeah. Like I remember it clear as day. But yeah, my mom was living in fucking Slovakia, and all her friends were in Hungary when the Nazis were in power. No, your mom. No, my mom. Sorry. I had a brain stroke. I was about to cut Natalie. I was like, now what do you think? Well, I figured out what I was thinking. No, her parents. Your grandparents. Yeah. Did you ever ask your grandparents about that? Because that is interesting. No, I never did. Oh shit. So my grandpa was like seven or eight or seven years old when like, he was born in 38, I think. Yeah. So the war ended like in 45. So like still very little memory. But enough to where his parents would have crazy stories that would pass out and she couldn't really remember any. She like remembered like a neighbor to like getting pulled out of the house and getting killed. Hmm. Really? Wow. But even the way she described it was very like she said they were like killed for their animals. Hmm. And she's like for their animals for like their livestock. I'm like the way she described as like, I don't know. - Like it wasn't necessarily.
like a Nazi thing? No, it was definitely a Nazi thing, but like that's just like that's just so like world war two to me feels like it's 500 years ago. Like it does not feel that it was just like that like close to 100 years ago. That's what I'm saying. It's so crazy that I can like connect the dots to like literally where I was born that was taking that was taking place. And then my mom my mom said she my grandma would always say that my grandpa died early. He died in his early 60s. Yeah. From cancer because of Chernobyl. Oh, which is interesting. I was like, oh, that's really interesting. It's another show I was watching. Oh, so yeah, you're coming becoming a little history buff. I don't know. I just like really think that what guys do you know when they get older? They get really and a lot of guys get really into like war history channel and just foxes. I think I think it's so fucking crazy what was going on. We played a fun game with my parents this weekend. I said, Nivine, watch this. I asked my parents where they were when JFK was shot. And they both know exactly where they were, what they were doing. And that you know, that's like so long ago. That's 63. Yeah. There was like, there was like a TikTok I saw or something that was like in a fucking completely forgotten, like completely forgotten. I can't put them in reference. I shouldn't be referencing it because I've known what I'm about to say is not even the TikTok I saw. It's something I'm making up in my head at this point. But they were just saying that that the way the world works in cycles and like wars and things like we're entering our cycle of where something like that is going to happen again. What a war? Yeah. Like something of that magnitude of that magnitude of like a world war. Yeah. Who? Who? Wait, you're making this up or you saw this? I saw this, but I'm also paraphrasing therefore making it up. I mean, yeah, everything kind of like, like you have the plague, then you have COVID, like there's everything kind of happens in like a cycle, right? Yeah. Yeah. But isn't that just us looking back on time and saying that it's a cycle? And then I was also looking up at us, like and then I was looking at the fucking the the new clear attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, like I was looking at I was, it's fucking. That's crazy. That the 10 years that was going on in the fucking span of the 40s to like 55. What the fuck was going on? It's kind of crazy. Maybe why? What exactly was going on? Well, that's what it was from like genuinely from World War One to World War Two to the bombing of they say like Nagasaki that ended World War Two when we dropped the atomic bomb in Japan, which is like if you think about now when like we go to Tokyo and stuff or if you visit there, you're like, oh, you can't believe it. It's that they dropped a bomb. Like they took bombs there. The US picked Hiroshima because during the war, it was the city that was most untouched by the war. So they chose it because they wanted to be able to measure. Oh wow. Like what this bomb did. Oh wow. The destruction at the bomb cost. Like how fucking crazy? You're dropping a bomb. Yeah. On like 45,000 people died immediately. Jesus. Like schools, like all the fire departments, everything in seconds gone. And it's crazy. And then all the people that were in the vicinity of it, like we're experiencing radiation, but no one knew for at least a week. What that what was what was dropped on them. So like people were dying off for the next week. They were getting poisoning. And I don't know. It's like crazy. Why did they drop the bomb in Japan, but not Germany? I don't know. Don't just don't ask me actually. Like that's also crazy that like the nuke that was like that plane, whatever it's called, I think it's called the nola gay that dropped the bomb. Okay. You're right. I don't even know why I'm talking about this. It's not that kind of part. I'm just like so fascinated by it. It's just so crazy. What's we're fascinated by that things happened? It's like a grand scale like that. That's such crazy things happened. And also like how much of it is fucking real. And how much of it is like accurate because like history is only written by the people that like one or our you know what I mean from our perspective. Yeah, I don't know. Listen, I don't really like talking about this kind of stuff, but I just think it's interesting. I think I should watch some movies. I think we got to steer you back to Marvel and Star Wars. I think that's where you thrive. We know your strengths. And that's where it is, man, fucking talking about it's going to be Robert Downey Jr. or not. I don't know the mask. Oh, did I already bring this up? Yeah, we've talked about it, I think. Make sure you don't want to hear it again. I love it. I think it's killing a Murphy under the mask, but that's I'm not going to get into that. But I did. What will you be? Where do you be on that? What are you going to do day of endgame? Where are you going to do that morning? You're going to get out of bed like, ha, like all chipper. I can't. What time are the tickets for? You mean for Doomsday? Yeah, for Doomsday. Yeah. I don't. I can't imagine it. You got actually goosebumps on my leg right now because I'm talking about it. Because why why it's so crazy is because I will be sitting in that theater, right? Yeah. And I will know the second I sit down, then in three hours, it'll all be over. And that sensation will be gone. And I'll have to wait because for the next one. Yeah, really hard for me to like wrap my head around. It's almost better. It's better being here. Yeah, better being here now six months away. Yeah, it's very much what patient for it is very incredible. And like, I've been seeing a lot of like, will you be yelling at people in the car on the way? No, but I will be getting to the theater like an hour early. I will probably in an hour. Come on, let's not be ridiculous here. Well, okay, maybe not an hour. I'm actually seeing it the Chinese. I wish I wasn't seeing it. Oh, terrible. I know. What's going on? Why? There was something was going on with the tickets at Universal. I couldn't get them or maybe they weren't there or something. Yeah, the problem with the Chinese is it easy, man, Chinese theater. Oh, my God. I thought you were going down a different road. No, no, no, no. The problem with the Chinese. Clip it. What is the problem with Chinese? No, it's that Universal has an open, not an open bar, has a bar. Yeah. And I feel like this would be the time to get a drink before. How fun would that be? What? Doomsday, grab a little fucking cocktail right before. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you'd probably get a beer. No, I'd get like something like a like a whiskey or something weird. You could have marable themed cocktails. Get a little loose. I don't know. Anyway, I want to go see Endgame. Okay. And they added three extra scenes. Yeah. At the end. And a lot of people are like, it's a cash grab. And I'm like, yeah, fucking every movie is a cash grab. Why is it a cash grab? Because like the scenes weren't like that. They added three minutes to a two and a half hour long movie, three hour long movie. And they put it on. Yes, it's pivotal. But like it was like, but as someone said, it could have been an email. But like, but that's not why I went. I just went to go to see it in theaters again. And that feeling was fucking incredible. I watched Infinity War the night before. And then the next day, I went to go watch Endgame. Oh, my God. It's such a beautiful feeling being in that theater. And I was Alex was sitting next to me. Oh, my God. This was so weird. And I was like, I've seen it so many times that I can be distracted during it. So I kept like turning over to him and saying the next lines that were going to happen because I can I can't quote the entire movie. But if you if you played the movie and you randomly pause it at certain moments and you gave me three, four, five, if you give me five multiple choice of what line was coming next, I'd ace that quiz. 100% of the time. I could put every line. I pretty much know. And I was like telling Alex, I was like, saying the lines. And he's like, how do you not know that? He's like, how do you know that? And then I was like, okay, wait, who's about to be revealed when this train passes by? And he goes, I don't fucking know. And I'm like, Captain America, you fucking idiot. Captain America is about to come out. And then I looked at Alex and I was like, wait, what's going on? Are we now on the same level of this movie? And he goes, dude, I've only seen this once. And I'm like, you've only seen this once. And I was thinking the whole movie. I was like, oh my God, I'm so like knee deep in this fucking shit that I have no idea that people are like, I see scenes from Marvel every day, like 40 times a day because it's my entire edit. I see Marvel edits when they have like 1400 likes. Like before they before they've blown up, I am a ground zero of Marvel. I'm part of the algorithm that like basically, if I interact with it, then it's going to snowball to more people. Like I am the beginning. I am the beginning of the Marlowe. And that you make or break those edits. Yeah, I didn't know you were that important keeper. Oh my God, all things Marvel. Well, I'm a community of like, you know, 30,000, you know, sure, that gets the initial Marvel feed. But I get the first Marvel content. Have you ever been out when you go out and like go party and stuff and like you're at a club, like a like a zoo or something and you like run into like a Marvel person on your level. Sometimes it's cheap. Sometimes people come up to me like, okay, yeah, girls will do it. Yeah, I don't like it. Because I'm like, you're just trying to sleep with me. And you have a pretty good chance now. Yeah. Why don't you just let them talk Marvel? I don't like it. I don't like it. Oh, you don't like that disingenuous kind of feels like it just feels a little like predatory.
- Yeah, like when they're coming over, yeah it does. - And someone stops and goes, "Hey, I really like the end game, too," or something. - No, sometimes, no, that's different. If someone was like, "I love Marble, "I love how much you love Marble," that's different. But when I'm talking to a girl who's like, kind of works into the conversation within the first four minutes and hasn't shown any kind of similar inch, like who hasn't acknowledged that she's knows what I do, and then really comes on a little too heavy with Marble, and I'm like, "I see what's going on here." That bothers me, but if you come on, if you like come right at me with Marble and it's not, you're not doing it in a cheap way, you're actually like, "Pass you about, I love that." - Oh, okay, these, the guys I love running into and the girls that I watch on TikTok are that are like the level above me. - Yes. - Like, straw hat, goofy, soups. - Yeah. - Oh. - You skate pod, you know, shout out to the skate pod. Have you watched the skate pod? - No, no, what do they do? - Oh, now he sends you their clips all the time. - Oh, shit, yeah. - There are these two. (laughing) - If he's two guys, it's fucking incredible. - No, just puts an exclamation point on it. - It's so good, aren't they? - It's so good. - Yeah, yeah, they're really bizarre. - They're so fucking bizarre. - Well, how so? - There are these two guys that just are so into Marble. - Yeah. - And it's so incredible and they're so easy to watch. - I'm like so in love with this pod. - They do a pod every week about Marble? - Yeah. - Wow. - They're so fucking passionate. - He's like, "Don't move, he's coming out." - Yes, JJ, okay. But one of the episodes, they did a fully naked podcast. - No way. - Yes. - It's just two dudes. - Yeah. - And they're both just naked. - It's great. - Wow. - And it's a Marvel podcast. And they're dicks out under the desk. And one of the guys is like, "Are you touching your balls right now?" And the other guy's like, "I'm like touching my dick right now." - Wow, this is built for you. - So you must have felt like they stole it from you. - It's literally like your dream pod. - I could have believed it. - Oh my God. - I think this is right up my alley. - Oh my God. - Two dudes with their balls out talking about N-game. "Are you fucking kidding me?" - What the fuck? - I mean, they're fucking. - There are one World War II story away from me. Fucking busting a load on the screen. Oh my God. - Why don't you reach out as if you could be a guest? - Yeah, I make it go. - I have run into them. I ran to them at the Fantastic Four premiere. - What did you say? - It was the first time I've interacted with them. And I was like, "I love yourself." And they were like, "Dude, we gotta get you on the pod." I think they said this. I don't know if I mentioned this. But they said this. And I was like, "Yes, I'd love to." I'm totally down. I would love to go on your guys' pod. - Yeah, but would you get naked? - I can't. - Okay. - I'll go waste down. - You should. - Can I just keep my shirt on? - Sure. - Okay, okay. - Wait, that's even funnier. David is naked by the way. He just doesn't want to show his upper pants. - Oh, but they're really funny. Look up Escape Pod. Guys on TikTok, Escape Pod Naked. And then you'll find the clip I'm talking about. - Escape Pod Marvel. - I love that. - Yeah, really good. I mean, that's like the type of shit that like, it's very hard to find original content nowadays and they are fucking nail on the head. This is them naked on the pod here. You can cut into this. Cut this into there. - You definitely saw this. I'm just noticing there's not too much hair going on. - Are you shabot? - No, I'm just a little boy. So what does that make you? - Alex, I wanted to get rid of this table. - No, I get one right here. It's all in here. I got one right here. I got one. I got this freckle. There's a hair right there. - Oh, you see that? - You see that? - It's coming from your freckle. It's like your lucky hair. - I need to get rid of that one though. - No, it's your lucky hair. - No, it's weird. - What is that? It's never seen David so happy. - Come on, it's pretty good. - It's pretty fucking amazing. - Good for that. And then you won't believe this. They just had an episode where Hack guy, he's one of the guys, that's his name. - Okay. - He broke his dick. So they had to do the thing, I know. Dude, they're stepping in shit. Like that's the term for like, you're just getting lucky. It feels like, when I see clips from them, I'm like, this is like peak vlog. They're just running into the fucking greatest things. He broke his dick and they're in the hospital. - Doing the podcast, they're doing the hospital. - Oh, how are you raised dick? - How do you bring your dick doing a podcast? - No, not during-- - Oh, okay. - Yeah, yeah. - Uh-oh, you fell. - But yeah, it's really, really. - Someone, someone said, the top commoners, Superman couldn't have been that good. (laughing) - He broke his dick jerking off to Superman. It's so good. - Oh yeah, anyway. That's the type of stuff I've been into. - Jim. - I saw this TikTok the other day about how like, we as society have kind of like, there's this rise of like individualism. Like you have a lot of like young people on the internet that are like, get rich or like have the success or whatever. And then, and then, and that's really hurting like, marriage and relationships and things like that because everybody has and feels this pressure that, they need to have this success before they have the relationship or the marriage. But like, back in the day, it used to be, let's get together young and then we'll make each other great and we'll grow and we'll go through all the shit together. And that's how we grow and we have this like, really solid relationship. But now like, it's totally. - What do you think about that? - I mean, I think it's pretty true. - What do you think about for you personally? - Well, let me be reevaluated. I was like, why do I like care so much, you know? - Dude, you're so funny. You're like about four months behind my thought process. It's so funny. What are you doing? - 'Cause I, what kind of dis is that? (laughing) - Fuck me, idiot, you're so fucking slow. - No, it's not a dis, it's just like, I feel like I'm always like, I don't know. Like, I've been campaigning against like, Natalie, we're fucked because we're dating here in LA. And like, I feel like slowly you've come around to that too. - Oh. - And then like, and then I've also kind of been like, I'm really, I don't, there's no rush to find anyone. And now she's kind of like there. - Yeah. - It's really funny, it's very, it's the same person. - No, no, I'm an opposite. I'm saying the opposite of that. - Oh, oh. - I'm saying, why am I wasting my time? Like, I'm like so fixated on like, you know, I wanna be successful, obviously. And I wanna continue on my own. - You are successful. - Yes, but I am successful. Like, I've achieved things I could have never imagined, right? - Right. - So like, why am I, you know, why not like, open myself up? - Oh, that's funny. - Open yourself up out. Like, like, go on more dates. - We'll see, that's tricky. (laughing) - I thought, so I sought to talk on the other end of that. And it was like, life's good. I'm 30. People that were married at 24 are now single. - Oh, people that, everything's like resetting at 30. - Yeah. - Even my married friends are now on hinge. Like, that's kind of like, that's kind of like, yeah, it's a really, like you would have been divorced by now if you'd gotten married. - Yeah, I'm 30 and now I'm like, I'm finally like, I'm confident in being single and being who I am. And I kind of, I don't know, I guess it's like the for you page is really for youing, but I really stand by that. I don't think there's any rush to find somebody. But I also don't understand why somebody like John, - Yeah. - Who's been with Julia for five years. That's John's, John's always is his excuses to why they haven't gotten engaged yet or married, whatever to each their own and how fast they do it. He's like, I'm just like, not successful enough yet. - Yeah, that's more of a guy thing. - And I'm like, I don't know why that matters. Oh, yeah, I guess it shouldn't, but it does for a lot of people. It mattered for me when I was like married and making no money. I felt awful. - Did you see that Barack Obama joke? - No. - Or was like, it was like Michelle Obama. Michelle and Barack were at a dinner at a restaurant that Michelle's ex-boyfriend used to own. - Oh yeah. - Have you seen this? Don't tell me again though. - And Barack goes, Michelle, if you stayed with this guy, you could have been married to the owner of this restaurant. She goes, no, if I stayed with this guy, he'd be the president of the United States. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Which is like pretty fucking cool. - Yeah. - And like, I truly believe that. I think if you find the right person, they can also build you, like build your character and like there's no reason to like hold off on that until you're successful and then get married. I think it's just-- - Yeah, they're right, you're right. - I think it's each their own. Like, I'm in my arc of fucking 30, single, thriving, till I fucking die, but Natalie, I guess is backwards. I don't know, maybe still four months behind me, but like some people are on the other end are like, yeah, I wanna get married. - Well, I just like the idea of having somebody that is supportive, that's all I really want. It's like someone that is supporting me. - That's me. - You're not that person, unfortunately. - Supporting you financially or everything. And no, more like mentally, emotionally. Not financially. That's what I'm saying is like, I don't think I need to find, I don't think I need to find somebody, I'm obviously be nice, but like to find somebody that's uber successful, like maybe they'll get there. Like I feel like there's all this pressure to, especially for, I don't know, someone that's young and successful to like find somebody else that is kind of on the same wavelength. - Yeah. - Like at least a lot of people around me, you know, feel that way or I feel that, I don't know, whatever. But maybe that's not like, you know, maybe I could just be there and like mutually support my partner and then they will have their own success, you know. - Can we say who you're going on a date with possibly? - No. - Really? - Why would she say who she's going on a date with? - Yeah, I would say that. - Really? - Is it somebody that I would know? - Yeah. - Is it somebody that's been around here or somebody I know from the internet? - Has not been around here. - Okay, okay. But someone I would know.
Let's just say they're big time. - What? - Yeah. - Yeah, huge. - I thought Harry Jalsey's like really busy. - In more ways than one. - Oh, no, no, no. - You know what I mean? - Harry Jalsey, it's ready to go. - Well. - Yeah. - I said huge, you said huge, you said huge. I said huge, and I said in more ways than not. - No, we heard you. - All right, well nobody fucking listens to me. (laughing) - David's mom right now. - Okay, that's good not to leave. (laughing) - Okay, well listen, I wish Natalie the best on this day, the secret day. - Really? - Because we gotta be going on a whole fight about this day, the other day. - We didn't get on a, we don't fucking twist my words. You said it. - I told David I had to go somewhere, this person doesn't live here. So I had to go somewhere to go on this day, and then. - Okay, let me, let me, let me fucking say this. - Let me fucking talk. - No, you've had, I was counting, you've had over 60 seconds to spot it. - David, you should. - No, not really, this time David should probably go. (laughing) - No, we are arguably in the busiest times of very pivotal moments of both of our careers here, like a lot going on. - Okay. - And then Natalie's like, I'm taking a trip to London 'cause John and Julia are going. - Yeah. - She's like, I'm taking a trip to London. - Yeah. - And I'm like, what? No, you cannot take a trip to London right now. And then at some point, while I was talking, 'cause I remember this. - 'Cause he doesn't like to let me get a word. - Yes, yes, yes, yes, that was my fault, that was my fault. She goes, I have a hot date. And I didn't take that as she actually has a date, obviously, often as she have a date. That's just like a deal. - Like he knows the person and I'm sitting. - But then she, but then later she told me, 'cause we got into a fight about it. And then later she told me that she's going on a date with this person and I was like, why the fuck did you not tell me that? Like I thought you were just like going aimlessly to like walk around the streets of London. - Because his assumption is always that I'm just gonna go fuck around and take a vacation or whatever. - And then she was like, if you told me, you wouldn't have let me go, I'm like, yeah, I would. That's like the one thing I'm like, okay with. Like if you're going on a date, like that's pretty sum, that's some serious shit. - Yeah. - Like you should go to that and she just opted that out. And then I got into this whole thing. I'm like, Natalie, you just need to communicate better. That's all. The other day, which I said, you're a difficult person to communicate with sometimes when you talk over at me. - The other day. The other day, the other day, the other day she went, can I talk about this? - Sure. - Okay, Thursday. Was it Thursday, Wednesday? What day was it? - Thursday. - It was the middle of the work week, whatever. I was like, Natalie, where are you? It's 11, it's 11 in the morning, she's not at the house yet. When did you get to the house? Like two? - First of all, I got to the house at 8 a.m. that morning and I pre-worked, let's preface. - Okay, okay, okay, that's fine. - 8 a.m. - 8 a.m. - That's early. - Okay, okay, but where did you get back? Like two or three? - Like one. I got back at one and I was like, where did you go? And I saw her location, it was next to a place that we've been working a bigger deal, like with somebody. So I was like, was she there for a meeting with this, for this deal? And she was like, it's none of your business. And I hate when she does this, 'cause like, I'm her friend, Alex and John and Ilya would never fucking say, like vice versa, I'd never say that to them. I'd be like, what? Are you being fucking weird? Just tell me where you are. And she said, it's none of your business. And then I fucking kept, I was like, just tell me where you are. What was it? What were you doing? What was the big deal? And this went on for like 20 minutes and then she stormed out. And then later I found out, I guess where she was. Guess where she was? She was watching Harry Potter and like 40x. (laughing) And no fucking way. - Yeah, and it was incredible. I have no problems. - And again, I was like, this is one of those things you could just tell me. Like, I went to go watch a game the next day in the middle of the day, like I, like you were also playing, those are the two things I love. Dates and fucking Harry Potter. - But I know. - I would always be using it against her at some point. - I used it against her. - But she didn't fight me, I was very hurt by that. - Why didn't you invite him to Harry Potter? He loves Harry Potter. - That's funny, I actually did buy two tickets. I had an extra ticket right next to me in my booth. - You went by yourself. - You had a booth, you fucking little piece. - You went by yourself to Harry Potter 40x? - No, I went with Julia and my sister. - Oh, okay. - And my sister and I were supposed to go, but I've been so busy I haven't been able to go with her. So she just got Julia to go with her. And I was like, well, that's fucked up. I'm the one that wanted to go do this. So I bought my ticket, even though it was during the work day, I was just like, fuck it. - And then we were in a fight, right, about it. So we weren't talking. And then I was driving to end game. I was in the car with Julia. - She fucking ran me out. - Most pivotal time of the year. - No, and I was in the car with Julia. - As you're going to see movies that came out 10 years ago, that's crazy. No, no, no, no. - That's crazy. - You guys are, I mean, I don't even understand. You guys are both nuts. - Yeah, yeah. - I mean, you should be locked in. - No, for sure, for sure. - For the fucking 'til Christmas. - Yeah, well, that's what another argument is, you should be watching Harry Potter around Christmas. That is the time. - It's way too early to get in Terry's father. - I 100% agree. I was not happy they bought the thing, but I wasn't gonna miss out on the experience that I wanted to go to. - Okay, all right. Anyway, it's 40x with like smoke and stuff. - No, it was at Cosm. The like sphere. - Oh, you saw him. Oh, you went there. He goes, "Oh, yeah, she should, she can't miss that." - You went to the sphere. - And then I'm with Julia, who Julia went with her, right? - Yeah. - To the movies. Julia's sitting in my back seat and she's like, "Why are you, why are you being so quiet right now?" She asked me and I'm like, "Well, Nally and I are in a fight and I'm trying to craft this text together." And she's like, "What's going on?" And I'm like, "I just don't think she communicates properly." Like, "She won't tell me where she went today." - Yeah. - And like, honestly, like, I don't care if she, if she went to the fucking movies, I wouldn't give a fuck. And I said that. I said movies. - Yeah. - And she goes, "Right, right." - Julia's not telling me. - Oh. - Julia's girl. - Julia's girl. - Yeah, Julia's not telling me what's going on. - Yeah. - And then we get out of endgame. And Alice goes, "Dude, I didn't put this together earlier. I don't know why I didn't have an idiot, but she went to go see Harry Potter." - Oh my god, a little sh*t. - And I go, "What the fuck?" And then I turn to Julia and I go, "Julia, you don't mother f*cking get you." - You sat and, like, we're f*cking-- - Come here. - Consoling. - Consoling. - Consoling. - Consoling. - Very good. Consoling me. - Consoling me. - You're PlayStation consoling me. - What are you saying? - Consoling me. - She wasn't consoling you. - Yes, she was. - No, she wasn't. Consoling's like when he gives someone a hug. - Yeah, yeah. No, no, she was like, "Right, right. Oh, I get that. I understand that." - Consoling. - She was like taking my side and like, trying to calm me down. - Yeah, yeah. - But like, she f*cking knew the whole thing. - Well, she knew. - What's the word? What's the word? Consoling? - Yeah, you got it. - F*cking nailed it. Nice job. - What is it called? - F*cking nailed it. Yeah, let's get naked. Talk about Marvel. - Well, listen. Anyway, moral of the story is communicate better now. I'll let you go on dates to the movies. Genuinely, almost anywhere. Just tell me. Don't keep me in the dark. And then Zane Texts. Later. Zane Texts three days later. And Zane goes. - He thinks it was crazy. - Nellie, why did you turn your location off? Nellie's like, what? Why are you checking my location? He's like, I check it every day. And I'm like, yeah, I do, and then Nellie goes. I had to turn it off because David lost his privileges. - Yeah. - And then-- - She was tracking me when I was-- - And then Nellie couldn't understand that like, I check my friend's locations. So does Alex. So does Zane. Couple times a day, just as if it's like TikTok. Like, that's how you connect to your friends. You're just like, curious where they are. - Yeah. - See, I'm not like that. I never check a location ever. Unless I'm like meeting up with a person for dinner or something and I want to see where they're at. - Yeah. - Then I'll check it. - No, it's so important to-- - I want to do that. I want to know what people are. - Yeah, it's so nice. - It's fun. Like, today we were having a meeting and you were in here because you were having another meeting. - Yeah. - Apparently, maybe you're watching a movie, I don't know. And I had to bring up like, scheduling changes because of Tesla and stuff. And we were like, trying to figure out how to make this work. And I didn't know whether I should start talking about it or I should wait three more minutes till you pulled up in the car but I couldn't check your location. I had no idea where you were. - Oh, it's back on now. - Oh, shit. - All right, well, now then-- - You got your privilege. - Your privilege is a turn back on. - Yeah, have our background. - Jay, you on our location. - I would love it. - Okay, well, maybe I'll think about it. (laughing) - All right, guys. That's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you guys for listening. Thanks for joining us. And we'll see you guys for the next one. Bye.
