David's International Crush

The host shares a humorous and reflective journey from a late, chaotic podcast episode filmed on a 14-bedroom mega yacht in Croatia. The trip, booked by Natalie, becomes a backdrop for deeper conversations about editing, creativity, and personal flaws. The host admits he struggles with editing due to technical incompetence and poor communication with an editor, leading to long delays and frustration. Despite this, he values his instinct for what works in videos, relying on trial and error rather than planning—viewing this as his true strength. The group engages in light-hearted discussions about language, cultural experiences, and absurd moments like a marshmallow-in-a-hole game and a fake “antivirus” cruise rumor. They also explore personal relationships, touching on jealousy, loyalty, and emotional authenticity, with members expressing deep trust in one another. The trip serves as a creative reset, prompting a return to simpler, more authentic content creation. Amid the chaos and humor, the episode highlights the value of spontaneity, vulnerability, and real connection over polished production. The host concludes by reaffirming his commitment to the podcast’s authenticity, despite the technical and logistical challenges, while celebrating the bond formed with his crew.

what's up guys welcome back to views sorry it's late I blame it on Jason yeah this is this one's completely my fault guys I decided to book a yacht Croatia last minute I don't care about the money I received from the podcast my kids can go fucking suck an egg and why you figure it out man out New York City being in a band and all that I'm cutting you off and you too Charlie you're cut off okay so we are currently in Croatia daddy's got his new wife we're on seriously though Martin we're just kidding I do it guys if you hear humming in the back it's an anchor dropping a little flex our idea you're biggest flex no no but we're on a boat that Natalie booked for us the boat company is letting us kind of take us through that shout out to let us take this boat for a spin it's huge 14 bedrooms this will be in a vlog in about two weeks two weeks as long as David you get the footage as long as David doesn't kill himself and I say that sorry I think I'm going back to the old ways I used to make the vlog because this is not sustainable for what's happening here yeah it's fucking up the podcast yeah that's why the podcast is late so so it is my fault yeah that's because so spoiler not spoiler but a little secret I'm going to let you guys in on I have been editing the last videos I feel like more so than ever before and and and the reason for that is I can't actually edit I'm like physically I can't touch them because I don't know how to use the fucking program that edits like nicer footage so I communicate with an editor but obviously I have a lot of notes and communicating with an editor is like communicating with NASA like it's like I'm in a space shuttle I'm talking to Houston and every 20 30 minutes we thought we finally get word to each other and then a change is made in the edit therefore edits take forever so like this this I've been editing this fucking vlog that I can't figure out I don't I'm I'm just I'm gonna take my hands off it completely and be like just post it because we need to post this week I just can't I can't get my notes in because I I don't know and I thought I'm not actually a good editor because I don't have a vision no this is a compliment to myself what I'm really good at is like I I know when something is good and like and a speaker and explaining to explaining to my editor got a fun explaining to my editor got a fun we're having fun right Jay having fucking fun she's now be fucking got us here how do they trapped us on this she's new tips she's here now he's gonna impress augmentation issue yeah if the vlogs do well that's over that's how we're doing the vlogs that's why there's a 15 video countdown she's going up 15 C's 15 C's that's not enough that's not your reference 15 C's that's on a bus are gonna be faster we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna be able to drive our bus I'm gonna ride her tits of over 40 miles an hour all right no no this is a good realization I made it myself ready okay I have no vision when it comes at any of these videos so I can't explain to him what I want but I know what's good and I think the way I edit is just trial and error so like I'll just sit and I'll try 30 different ways to like up together something and if it works I finally found I'm like oh yeah this feels right and that feeling that I have I think is my strength and it's an impossible feeling to describe to edit because to my editor I'm just going like no try again like do it different yeah and he's 30 times again and he's like what the fuck does that mean so like I can't communicate because I'm an idiot and I don't know how to like I can't that's why I've always always been scared to make a movie because I'm like I don't I can't plan out anything like everything's made in the edit so I think I'm have to go back to editing so I completely failed on my new life yeah of just being an answering town sucks you should have just got a job at history channel yeah hosting stuff yeah walking to case something on the side yeah yeah yeah or maybe like hosted with I think you made a good point yeah you said you said that it is what the editing is was it's the it's the only thing you're good at yeah it's what your reason it's your it's your special sauce and it's what sets you apart from everybody else and if you and now you're just walking away from that you're turning your back on it be like if you were a runway model and you said you poured acid on your face you know where is this I don't know I don't know what he wears it on it already went yeah where is it going I haven't done what do we lost Julia Julia just left the pod Julia has great stories about working at Target really people would come in Julia John's girlfriend who's sitting here listening to the pod until Jason said that acid comment yeah and people would come in in the way people would scam target I guess you can buy stuff on Amazon and take it back to target yeah because they wouldn't have to have like a receipt or anything yeah I yeah guilty that is some shit Natalie would know Natalie's mom she's probably doing it right now yeah my mom was like the best at like hacks and scams with stores like that she would spy shit yeah that's not like getting rid of a sore throat that's how you're new clothes for school that's called being a criminal dude it's a felony okay well we don't do it anymore oh yeah I very much don't believe that that's a reason your mom is lives in RV and that's because she has the fucking changed target parking spots which target which target am I going to steal from today come with me in North Dakota's top target it is like an addiction like I feel like once once you're like in it you just can't you can't stop well yeah you need the money for it like stealing what are you fucking talking about Natalie scamming you're not getting those fake tits acting like this crazy anyway so yeah from now on I also want to go back to the old camera so we're going back to square our latest square what I hate this new camera I love how it looks I hate the mic I hate everything about this guys do you know when we're done editing we've descended the color and audio like we're fucking Marvel movie how annoying is that like it's so stupid and the dumb fucking Sony FX3 can genuinely suck my cock I hate that camera I hate that camera I hate the on board Mike I hate everything maybe you should just partner with a camera company and make your own camera that actually works well over people like you that are blocking bloggers are not that many but yeah there is there's a lot I just hate the on board Mike especially with the way we vlog this is a little creator tip here don't use an on board Mike if you're vlogging with 10 people because you can't hear anything it's like if you're in a room and the Mike's not pointed at the right person the reason I've always used the ADD is not because I'm just like stuck to it but because it has the only it's the only Canon that has a mic that faces multiple directions the 90 the newer version that came out does not have the same Mike so like the ADD is so good like when Jason standing behind me or to the left of me you can hear him just as well as if he was directly in front of me right and I think that's what made the vlog so fun it's because it felt like you're in the room and I with these with his directional Mike it kind of just like I don't know I hate it there's so many bits we've had to cut because you just genuinely can hear the person saying anything on the left or the right so that kind of ruins it but I will say this little journey of ours from making these videos it's got me back into working which is kind of nice because like I spent yeah I spent the last fucking three days trying to edit this on zoom with our editors and it's just a possible but I have bit on zoom and that is the biggest takeaway so I think I think it'll be easy now to go back and do it myself because I've spent the amount of time I spent editing this vlog and I have contributed nothing to it I could have gotten three vlogs done but it's just like I'm just what did you last night were you up all night editing while we were sleeping no I fell asleep I missed dinner okay yeah we went to dinner last night and they they served a classic David meal I know chicken and rice like like Goulashy kind of do they say we're Croatia yeah we're Croatia yeah it was great it was really tasty sorry guys do you hear that they have to hear the humming in the background right it's gotta be driving the nuts let me see the humming stopped the second you probably yeah you're like I'm not hearing anything all right take that off yeah no I missed dinner I heard the I heard the the captain or the the restaurant people were sad that there weren't enough people at dinner yeah yeah they were really said Mario had a big speech planned yeah it was you know it's kind of fell short I'm really scared of this crew because I have a feeling they're gonna get us fucking hammered this is like they're trying every I think just kind of the point it's like classic Slavic people yeah he most like I mean it's like being at my family's house like it feels I remember we're at your family's house yeah they tried to always drink all you do is drink yeah yeah yeah for me I know special martini at 7 30 a.m. but they are like like if I was to get drunk with any group. Yeah. It looks like it'd be so fun with it because they're like older they're like older men. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's got to be so fun. That's where you want to get to work with. No, but they're like they're like up 10 older men. Me and the semen. What is that front frontive frontive? Huh? Confrontational? Yeah, like like they're very frontive. They're telling it to your face like type of thing like. Frontive means confrontational. Is that what you're trying to say? No, because confrontational is not crazy how languages work. Like if John lived in the old like because like slow rock is different than Croatian. Yeah. But like it sounds the same. Yeah. And like a language is so like elegant to learn a language means you're knowledgeable in my opinion, right? Sure. But when you really think about it, it's just some guy that like spoke weird, moved too far away and then like made the language sound a little different. Like you know what I mean? Like John could have his own language. Exactly. Like if John was around in the time and John was like, I'm going to walk that way and walk just long enough and start his own little colony in a thousand years. The front of colony. People would be learning his language. The John. Like it's like some incredible high intellectual thing, but really he just couldn't speak the original language. So he made a new one. Like how interesting is that? That's what language is. Do you think that is what it is? For sure. Well, yeah, it's never really thought about it. But we're on this boat for five days. Are you happy you're on a boat for five days? I didn't think I'd like it as much as I'm liking it. I think it's so fun. Yeah. Yeah. No, we're sitting in the movie room of the boat right now. They could definitely hear this anchor. Oh, yeah. It's awful. It sounds worse than the phones than in person. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be a tough pot. Yeah. Yeah. That's fine. Everybody's got to get on board. No, but I intended. We're leaving guys. We're sinking. Oh, it's awful. Women and children first. What would you do if they say women and children first? What's this next small? At click a child? Do we pause? Yeah. Fuck if we can't get this podcast out. My DMs are flooded with where's the podcast? Okay, go talk. Fuck this. Why are we here? Why can't we just be in LA? Why can't we just do a video pod and hang out? I fucking hate video pods. We're not doing it. No one's on your fucking side. Everyone's on my side. No, they're not. You know how many DMs I get people saying, like, don't listen to Jay. Yeah, because they're trying to ruin it. What are you talking about video pods? They're huge. It's, it's what everybody watches. No one watches TV anymore because they're watching podcasts on video. No. You didn't watch seven podcasts today. No, being doesn't love you. What? Yes. Who said that? I could see it. I'm like by looking at her. Oh, I got some video from last night that will tell you differently. Wait, what did you do? No, we just couldn't do it all night and said, "Stringfish, Stringfish, Stringfish." Oh, my God. Did you guys bang on the boat? Yeah. Uh-huh. Oh, of course. Oh, yeah, a couple times. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesus. John, you were there. Oh, Jesus. All right. Should we wait for this anchor or just keep it going? I just keep talking and I'll editor on the anchor. And we just have to get this. Oh, I also hear your bad at editing. Who said that? My sister. Which one? Esther. Fuck you, Esther. Bad at editing. What does she want? She says that a lot of times you, like, you'll cut off your clothes off at the middle of a thought just to start an ad. You should cut in the middle of that. That's bullshit. I've never done that. Get her on the phone. No, no, I've heard this before. I cut out. I end the thought. I end the topic before it goes on too long. And then it goes to an ad. And then we start a new thought. I don't believe you. Well, why don't you listen to it yourself? It would never. What did she say exactly? I need to know. She said, you know the fat guy that you that you work with? Yeah. And I was like, John, she's like, no, my Jonah. She's like, no. And then I'm like, fart on. She's like, no. I'm like, Jason. She's like, yeah. Yeah. But he's like, then she's like, he can't edit it. So tell me exactly what she said. So I can improve. No, nothing. She just said it. I should part ways. Great. Partly fucking good. I don't have to fly 17 hours to do a podcast with bad. Sorry. I don't have a mega. I know everybody needs to get on mega. Yeah. By the way, anything over 200 feet is a mega. Yeah. Uh, what's a giga. Yeah. Uh, giga is over 300 feet. Okay. Yeah. That's crazy. Madly cheaped out. Uh, no. But yeah, I could you, could you imagine being at C forever? Cause you actually do feel the rocking. Um, I haven't, I haven't felt it too much. Really? Did you feel it last night? No, I don't feel what I'm sleeping. It's when I'm not laying down. I feel it when I'm standing up. You're off balance a little bit. And when I'm laying in bed, like upwards, I can feel it. But when I lay to my side, I'm good. Have you guys tried showering when it was like rocking? Oh my god. I was like Michael Jackson in that showroom. I was sliding everywhere, dude. Okay. I was thinking about how you guys saw the Michael Jackson movie. You imagine John's own continent, own language, own country. He's still thinking about it. I mean, yeah, I'd be crazy. Cause no one, I wonder if I wonder if everyone would would adopt the way you speak or they would adopt the way you come about thoughts. I wonder what would come first. Cause like, because John doesn't necessarily speak bizarre. He just like puts together thoughts very bizarre. And I wonder if that would be part of the culture, like having a really weird comparisons, like being in the shower like Michael Jackson, cause you're on a boat. I mean, we'll just have to wait and see like when John has a kid, like because they're going to be influenced by the way, John, you know, how they have John things and how John speaks like the child. Wait, give them Mike to Julia. Julia's here. Julia is, I would say most likely in this room to have a kid with John. I hope somebody anyone else in here, Julia, do you realize that your kid will be what you're talking about? That's my son, you're talking about it. Put my son out of my name. Keep your son in my mouth. What the fuck? Fuck it up. Keep your mouth name out of my son. Well, anyway, can I mean, Julia, you realize that's going to be, you're going to have a very interesting kid. That's going to be the best part about your kid. Yeah, it's going to be, it's never going to be a dull moment. No, no, no, it's never going to be, and the best part about when you guys have kids is it's going to be figuring out like, oh, there's John inside. It can be so good. So be so good. What if he's what if he's a genius? Could be because John has a, John has genius tendencies. Yes, yes, but I think that comes from his mom's side. But his dad is like completely off the rock. I guess, I guess this will be an even more water down version of his dad. Yeah. So yeah, it'll be more and Julia is really smart. So it'll be like, yeah, it could still be 80% smart. 75% smart. We're looking at hopefully. And then it comes out. Stay back. That's 20% comes out. Well, you know what his mom's theory is, is that like any of the kids that got a piece of the dad's name are the ones that are like crazy. So like, John, it's John Paul. And so that's his dad's name. And she's like, yeah, John's like so much like his dad. And then Paulina, the older sister is like named after the dad. And she's also crazy. Oh, my God. I can't imagine a girl. Yeah. She's like the girl version in your form. I know Paulina, but she never, I guess she was so much older than us that I never like got to like know her. Yeah. But is she like you? Do you see similarities? Yeah. She does it. Her husband told me like, we went on a double team with them one time. And like, she was talking and she wasn't making any sense like John. And her husband turned to me. And he was like, you'll get used to it. Oh, my God. That's so funny. Yeah. It's crazy. That's so funny. It's like, it's like Castro's anonymous. And we're meeting together. I have one of these at home. Don't worry. Wow. That's really funny. Yeah. It's crazy. The amount of times I said you'll get used to it. The people that we're with.

What are you guys going to have kids, you think? Who's going to have kids first, Jay? - Me or John? - Yeah. That's crazy, of course. - Probably me. - Can you guys time it? So you can have kids at the same time? - I know. I think we're dead. Julia, let us know when you're ovulating. Send us over those days and try to match it up. - Wow, that would be so cool. I mean, could you imagine, Jay, well listen, I'm going to try to find a girlfriend or something, because we really should have kids at the same time. - Yeah. - And I think you and Julia aren't looking to do that any time soon, right? - No, yeah, but that's what we-- - You guys are anti-kids. - Well, we're kind of just like, we don't really care to have kids. But that's what we were actually talking about. I was like, do you think if we were to ever have kids, we would still be hanging out with everyone all the time? - Guys, sorry to interrupt. This isn't a bad editing mistake about Jason right here. - Yes, sir. - The power went out on the mega yacht. Okay. All right, we're back. Julia, what were you saying? - I was just saying how, John and I are anti-kids. We're kind of just like, we don't really care. But the biggest thing is, we would want to have kids at the same time that you guys would all have kids. - Wow, that's crazy. - Yeah. - Is that John just so we could have him at the house? - Yeah, just imagine your kid, oh my god, they'd be so competitive. - Could you imagine your kid comes out like super athletic? - Oh, dude, you'd be so-- - And you would literally kill yourself, I think. - Yeah, I was destroying you. - Yeah, I'm destroying your kid. - Distoring my kid. - Yeah, dude, your kid would be bolted. - They would probably leave the family. - You'd start if you weren't there. - You'd probably leave from embarrassment. - Like leave hanging out with John. - Yeah, don't just leave your family and your kid. - Yeah, you probably leave your family and I can't be with you guys anymore. - If my kid was a good at sports. - Yeah. - I don't know, I feel kind of like, I kind of would like that. - Yeah? - Yeah, I'm really good at finding the positive things and I feel like I'd find them like really cute. I go, yeah, that kind of can't throw a ball for shit. - I like that side of you. You don't show that side too much. - Thank you. - See, now you're saying-- - You're artistic side. You're kinder side. - My what? - You're artistic side. - Oh, artistic. - Yeah, now he's been saying I'm really pessimistic, but I'm not sure you're artistic side. - Who do you think's the more positive person? - They need the tree's cut. - Who's the more positive person, you or not? - I mean, that's a crazy question. - Okay, here's a perfect example. A group chat this morning. I'm fucking loving life and I'm fucking having my coffee. No one's up yet. I'm doing my work. I get a text from you to look at the video. I'm like, okay, I'll look at it. And then Natalie texts right after she announces a big good morning. And all caps, good morning. And then you see dot, dot, dot from David. - Oh my god, dude. - Here comes fucking Mr. Rainy Day. And it's like dot, dot, dot. And David just writes, brother. Like that. And so then just to combat that, I wrote back to Natalie in all caps. Good morning. And David was typing. But I shut his typing down with a big good morning. And then David was like, fuck, everyone's like, hey. - Yeah, I was actually ready to start typing, that's funny. - I saw your bubbles pop up. - No, 'cause last night, I hate Pearson. - Pearson. - I was in the garage. - I was in the garage to get it. - Wow. - I'm late for my massage. - How absurd is that? - I say. - Pearson's here with us. She's in a robe. - I'm in a robe and these awesome slippers that look like duck feet. - I love 'em. - Wait, you're going into the massage deck. Guys, there's a massage room next to the movie room. - No, I mean, this sounds insane. - Yeah, this isn't insane. - I just filmed like a video in the bathroom. I'm like, get ready with me to go get a massage, downstairs, on a yacht. - Oh, absurd is that. - I'm like fully, I'm trying to post and I'm like, this sounds so out of time. - There's no way to make this sound like likable at all. - It is a very crazy thing. - I would hate anyone who posted this. - You're going to go get a massage on a yacht. - Oh, my gosh. - For five days, have fun. - Oh, we find out this is a mega yacht. So you've got us her referring to it as a mega yacht. - Oh my god, if I couldn't hate myself anymore. Excuse me, I'm going to go for an hour of massage. Right next door, if you need me. - There's always a chance to haunt her. - Oh, amazing. Thank you. - Keep that in mind. - Well, yeah. - It's so much. - Oh, yeah. Yo, should we tell people how I got girls in Umbrella? - Oh, yeah. - That was big time. - Sorry, just to admit, really quick, that I am the more pleasant person, so we can move on. - We did. - No, I want him to say it. - Wait, more pleasant. - Or what did you say, happier or something? - Positive. - More positive. - Positive, positive. - More positive. - Say it so we can move on. - Hold on, I'm trying to think. Because obviously, looking right at it, I am the one that complains more, but I could play it out of love. - It's not just like a weight of, like, that's a facade, brother. - Whatever you want to call it. I don't know. Okay, I'll give it to Natalie. - Thank you. - But she's more positive. John, do you have any, do you have an argument? - I can't believe that you're even, it's even a question. - I'm surprised you're even finding this one. - It's like saying, Natalie has more vagina than you. - Well, actually. - Bradshaw. - That's another good argument. - Yeah. - And I would give it to Natalie, but not without a fight. - Because I think there is sometimes, I'm sorry I got to see a bulge. - I think there's a comment there. - David loves to project his own shit onto me. Like, everything you say about me is actually something you feel about yourself. You know, like whenever you like-- - I love how you say that. That's you projecting. That's you reverse psychology and the projection. That's like a typical narcissistic approach. - No, it's not. - Taking down-- - Look at he loves it. - You're the narcissist. - Take it out of your friends. - Oh, Natalie, you're so fucking hot. - Yeah, I wouldn't have never had it. - Just kidding, that was me projecting. - Let me be about this girl. And can we talk about marshmallow in a hole, too? - I don't know if you both can understand that game. What do you want us to talk about first? - Marshmallow in a hole. - The girl. - Just like, David and I started playing this game yesterday. We all bought marshmallows, these big marshmallows. And then they found a trash can. But the trash can is just a hole. - Like for a water bottle, like a three-water bottle. - Yeah, you threw a lot of bottle in. And then they started to try to throw the marshmallow in the hole. And it was so fun. - And none of us could get it. - None of us could do it. - And then the Croatian kids were starting to join us. - The whole town was like-- - Yeah, and Jason was like-- - This is marshmallow in a hole. - It was due to Croatian accent. This is a very famous game. We've been playing in Croatia. - And then an old man shot us down. - Old man, yeah. What did he say to you? - He just do this in your kitchen. Do this in your flat. - Yeah. - We're not here on street. Marshmallow in the hole. We're not here on street. - That was it. - Which I get him. - Yeah. - I get what he's saying. - I get it. It wasn't like we were that. - It was just a marshmallow into a garbage bin. And we were using the same marshmallow. - Yeah. - It was pretty gross. - Yeah, like it wasn't like we were launching 30 miles. - Yeah. - It was we had one way, two marshmallows. And by marshmallows, we mean like a cupcake. - No, I was the size of a baseball. - It was like a big strawberry. - Yeah. - But marshmallow-y. - Yeah. - And we tried to throw it in the hole and none of us could get it. Well, we got to Croatia. The second we got, before we boarded the boat, there was a girl that was sitting there at breakfast. It was like, what, six, seven a.m.? Six, seven? She's smoking a cigarette. And she looked like Natalie. This is a pointer. I was like, is that Natalie Portman? And we all looked. I was like, what? Is that Natalie Portman? - Also, there's like 13 of us on this trip. It's such a lot. - A lot of us. - So it's 13 people being like, that does look like Natalie Portman. That's like a weird gang of people. - Yeah. - And we're like so Americans. - So Americans. - Especially how we came off. - Oh my god. - 'Cause we are all in our like American, like young L.A. sweatpants. - Yeah. - Even me. - Yeah. (laughing) - I mean, yeah, it's definitely a sight to see you. Who's with us? We've Zane, Pearson, Georgia, Navine, Jason, John, Julia, Natalie, Taylor, McClain, and then Adam W's joining us. - Yeah, Ilya. - Oh, fuck. - Damn. (laughing) - Kill you. - And scan. - And scan. - And scan. - And scan our filmer. Yeah. So, yeah. So there's this girl. And then I got kind of, at the creation, people were really nice to us yesterday. - Yeah. - There's so many people we met. They kept coming up to us. And our waiter was like, yeah, you got to go up to her, shoot your shot. - I couldn't believe you were so shy. - Why? - You're David, man. You should go up and talk to anybody. - Well. - You're so weird. - What do you mean?

It's just weird. How like a suit you are but I yeah you said a suit. I don't want to suit me It's just you're just you're just very like cognizant of what you're very observant almost like almost on like a superhero level like And but I'm but an annoyingly unannoying level. Yeah I used it for like the stupid things. Yeah. Yeah, like if it really is opening a jar of the wrong way No one will notice it, but you'll in a nanosetting point it out. Yeah, fuck it And then you'll be like well, he is opening it the wrong way. Maybe that's so worse But it's because Naveen was tired, so we planted her in the movie room We got on the boat and then I was gonna help you edit and then I just turned my head to the right Just to see if she was okay, and you and it my head wasn't not even turned yet and you go she's right She's good I didn't say anything Yeah, but you're using your powers like you have you do have those powers do like her powers.

Jason says this a lot like Jason if Navi never left you he won't be sad. Yeah He would fall apart, but he tries to act tough because he thinks it's like it's like hotter for you Yeah, like like that he's like yeah And in the beginning of our relationship we're going to fight once and he goes Well, okay, if you want to leave leave oh, I'm used to being alone I'll be fine, and I'm like this guy's kind of weird. I like it I said I said I'm great being miserable. Yeah, I'm used to being miserable. So if you want to go go And then what can you do that's like the ultimate right? Yeah, so then I was like you know what I'm gonna marry this guy That's crazy. No, you you hit it on in the podcast a couple podcasts to go It really is the thing of like if you like something too much you're you have a fear it'll be ripped away So you're I'm always preparing myself That she would she would leave how many how many more years Navi and would you give this you? Well, so you agreed one more kid with like one kid with me. So I feel like that's the you're stuck for at least 18 18. No, it's good. What are we talking about? No, no, I think we'll stay together forever. Actually. Yeah, and I'm like I don't have like a problem with people getting divorced. Like I think it's like so cool that you can get out of something. But I feel like I don't see us breaking up. Yeah, I mean I we had a huge fight the other night and I was the whole time I was like this is so she wasn't going to even come to Croatia. Wait, what was what was what was the fight about? The fight was about it was it was just it was just a dumb fight. It's a private. Yeah, it was just a dumb fight and there's so dumb because I was just like I know we're going to be together forever. I don't know why we're having a shitty two hours. Right? Yeah. It's gonna be like that's not how I saw it. No, it was it was fine. Right? Yeah, it wasn't even worth it. No, it's just not worth it. Guys, come on. What do you guys fuck it? Maybe it's like an edge of your fucking tongue. You like want to talk about it? You want to like, you want to like softly touch on it. We'll cut it. We'll cut it if it's bad. Okay. The other day Jason and I share a car. So sometimes I have to pick him up. I go to pick him up. But so cute, by the way. Look inside this little coffee shop he's at and Jason's with another woman. Just him and a woman. No way. There's no way. And then he comes into the car all happy and he's like, how is your day? And I was like, aw, aw. I was in a meeting for this podcast that now it was supposed to come to you. I didn't have to know that. And it was a great meeting. And this pot and wait, why can we not put this in? Because I don't want to because because because you don't want your podcast girlfriend to know. Because I mean, we can. But but anyways, so I went to this meeting about the podcast. Yeah. And it was like awesome. Yeah. Like how angry is coming in. And then I got out of the meeting like, I had the best fucking meeting and she was like, she acted like I was like banging this woman, which I wasn't. I had no intentions of anything. And so that's what the fight was about for two hours. So then so then she was like, I'm not going to explain. And I was like, are you and then good for you, Jay. Yeah. Good for me. Thank you. I think that's like a, I mean, I'm shocked. I put myself into these shoes. I'm driving by some, so on Ventura Boulevard. I see you in a store with a woman. Yeah. The first thing I think about is who am I going to fuck tonight? I've been wanting to fuck for years. As a vegan, I'm like, what billionaire actor am I hitting up right now in retaliation? I told her I was going to the meeting. No, but good for you that she, like she fights. Oh, yeah. Good for me that she cares. Yeah. I think that's pretty good. She thinks you're capable. What do you think about jealousy relationship is? Do you like jealousy? Yeah, I like it. You do. I stand by it. Do you? Do you think it's important to have jealousy? I think like there's a like an ounce of it that means you care. But I think that it can also like turn into something like toxic, you know, like it just depends. It's a balance. It's a really fun one. I think there needs to be like I need to feel desired. Yeah. Yeah. Like if I'm like going to the club. Yeah. And my girlfriend does a question why I'm going to the club. I'm breaking up with her. See, I don't feel that way. I've never been in a relationship like that. Yeah, that you haven't been. But I feel and I know that you've never felt love. Exactly. David thinks I've never been in love. What are you talking about? Of course you've had boyfriends that love you. No, no, of course I know that he's he thinks that I'm not capable of loving another individual. I just don't believe it. I believe it. Do you think Natalie could actually love with that heart of hers? That heart of hers. I think Natalie's genuinely missing that that part of it. It's heart of gold. No, but I don't believe in that. I'm also just like really I also have this like philosophy that I'm like if you really feel like there's something better out there for you, you're insane. Like I just feel like really confident in who I am as a partner. That's crazy. Like you can't. Sorry. I mean obviously I know there's people that are better than me. That's what I'm saying. What I'm about to say isn't me saying that. But this is what I'm going to say. Yeah. You can't actually believe that. Can you or do you just tell yourself that? I'm not saying that there aren't. You know what I'm saying? It's just like the craziest level of confidence. Like I can't believe a human could possess that. I'm not saying that to belittle you. She's like that. Naveen's like that. I know that there's people that are more intelligent, more beautiful, whatever. But like you chose me. Right. Like you chose to be with me. So like there's there's something like strong in that. And if you feel like there's something that's not. Well, I'm very impressed. I'm blown away. It just shows how insecure I am because I could never think of that in my head. You know what? I tell myself that. But like I didn't I wouldn't actually believe it. Yeah, but that's that's then your insecurity is the downfall of all your relationships. No, for sure. Look at me. Right. I'm like old. I'm like you're not old. Okay, whatever. I'm like overweight. Right. For sure. I don't have a lot of money. And I truly, truly believe in my head that she can't do better. That's crazy. I do. I do. I really do think that. I can't do better. Not that you can't do better. Sorry. That came out wrong. You could do better. Like you could find a guy who's richer. You could find a guy. You know, it's going to money. Okay, you can find a guy that's funnier. Sure. It's fun. So what else you got left? But I don't believe I don't believe that you don't find somebody divorced. $350,000. $800,000 in debt. But I don't believe she'll find somebody that gets along with me. Yeah, I like. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And save for you. What? Like you're the same way. You just say the same thing about her. Same thing for you. You'll never do any better. You already said that. No, I feel like you're like Natalie in that regard, too. You're like, you have that much. It just doesn't matter because no one else is you. So if someone wants someone else, it's like they're going to get over that. And then. I also just think it takes so much time and effort to like form a bond like what you guys have and like to think about like breaking that off and trying to do that with another person. Fuck that. Yeah. In my mind, I don't think I could do it with another person. Exactly. I don't think there's anybody that would get me in the entire world. I don't think there's another person that like you do. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I was just talking like this because we did it two times last night. No, we did it one time. Oh my God. I wish I had to do. You got it to discuss and discuss and discuss. You can't. That's crazy. This is like the most romantic place to be. What the fuck does that mean? How do you like this editing? Esther? Stop going after my sister. I heard my feelings. I know. But she was kidding, by the way. Oh shit. No, she said it lightheartedly. She was like, he's got to work on his editing. That's just her sense of humor. Yeah, like I don't know why you like got all fucking weird and defensive. It's honestly you know, it's a great. I think you guys so hard. So far, I don't want to say anything bad about the podcast. I'm willing to learn. She's going to be bomb that I told you now because of how personally you took it. Yeah, I would have rather she told him told it to me to my face. That would be crazy. Because then I could be like Esther. What do you want me to change? I'll change it. Like if David said if Natalie said like Jason, this was wrong with the thing. I'd go, oh, okay. I told you that is kind of like a side thing. But you like turn into the real meat and potatoes. So I know I'm going to get a call from her. And I'm going to be like, well, that's not how I originally decided to be like a funny goof. Yeah, but I guess it really hurt him. Can you apologize to my sister? Yeah for what? You make a big deal out of you being bad at it. Esther, I'm sorry that I made a big deal about you talk going behind my back. I'm talking about my editing. I'm sure back. Oh, guys, happy graduation. That's all the time we have for today's pod. Thank you guys for listening. Thanks for everyone that joined us Pearson. John, Julia Natalie, Jingleheimer Schmidt. His name is my name to. Okay, you didn't say my name. Well, I was saving you the best for last. I love you so much. I love you too, Jason. Bye guys.
