David's Next Business Venture

In this podcast episode, David and Jason recap a whirlwind of topics, starting with their disappointment at missing a visit from "The Rizzler," a young internet icon, whose age and enigmatic persona they humorously speculate about. They pivot to praising YouTuber Tobi, highlighting his four-hour video documenting a trip to Japan to catch and sell tuna, marveling at his unconventional, passionate approach to content creation. This leads to a discussion on vlogging, with David suggesting Tobi document his senior year, and they reflect on the charm of raw, unedited creators like a kid reviewing school lunches. The conversation then turns to business, as they reveal plans to open a second Dobriks pizza location in their hometown, aiming to engage local high schools and build community excitement. They also entertain a viral hypothetical—taking $10 million to be attacked once by an 800-pound man—seeing it as a potential content goldmine. Finally, they share personal memories: Jason recalls the simple joy of his dad warming him up as a young pitcher, while David describes a career-defining tennis match that earned him a spot on his school's Wall of Fame, a moment he views as the peak of his athletic life. The episode ends with reflections on parenthood and the importance of sports, wrapping up with gratitude to listeners.

what's up guys what are the views welcome back to another episode of the views podcast it's a very important podcast today because what's going on I didn't know like I you said rush over here and so I flew over here as fast as I could you said Jay you got to get here we have emergency pod well you had bigger news for me that you just fucking kind of laid on me casually what apparently the Rizzler was in the fucking back yard this morning I had no idea that's crazy that's crazy I spent some time with the Rizzler this morning David and let me tell you I see as cool as I would imagine there is no aura like Rizzler or damn that's why I'm so pissed that I sleep while I sleep so late and this is the only time that I'm actually upset about an internet celebrity an icon that has come by the house and I haven't been able to see him yeah I couldn't believe it I was like Jay was like the Rizzler was in the back yard I'm like what are you talking about and he's like you're standing right there by the pick walker I'm like the real Rizzler I can't believe I miss what a sight amazing I said I met him I said respect respect and then I said how's the wife and kids to the Rizzler yeah and what do you say he just was like just did one of those he didn't really acknowledge my joke isn't he like 12 9 9 9 I thought for sure yes now that he'd be like 12 by now but no he's only nine whoa that's the thing is he's been whatever age he is and nine could be made up to God knows unless we see the Rizzler's birth certificate but he's been that age like Obama for the longest time I've seen he is damn near cartoon character aging he's he doesn't seem real how have I seen him I saw him in the first time five years ago yeah I guess he was five then I don't know something's going on or you know what maybe it's like a it's like a the Mandela effect and we're combining him mentally with the boom kid I thought that too but then I saw him in the flesh because the boom kid was young at one point yeah and then I think the Rizzler kind of showed up a year to behind him and I think for a second they morphed and AJ in the Rizzler yeah for a second you were like oh these are the same person yeah and then you realize the Rizzler was his own and then Rizzler was you know about for two years and that would make sense yeah I think that's the psychology behind the age of the Rizzler I talked to the dad that that was so cool really super sweet so nice did you know that that is he rich is a Rizzler he's got to be I mean wait why why does he he pulled up into McLaren really yeah he was driving wow it's so funny he's stepped on all the girls from the drake baby he stepped on his dad's back video with him to go to the car I saw the video to good is it I don't really know I was like 1.1 after 20 hours yeah isn't that good it's it's average it's average yeah that's that's funny because that happens to me every time every time I see every time I see a video at the 20 hour mark in my head I go this is amazing I have fair shut down he goes no no this is just average okay well maybe that wasn't real-time views either so maybe no it is doing well in terms of I don't look at views as much as I look at like feedback like comments and stuff and it's and the videos in general do do have jumped yeah I guess people really like the the longer stuff I don't know I was trying to do like some thinking behind it and I think it's like I don't know I just think like the YouTube culture is different and I think if you're on YouTube you want to be on YouTube right so I think before YouTube culture was a little bit different especially why my videos worked is because they're so short so it's all the people that didn't have necessarily the brain capability like myself so like stay on a YouTube video like I can't watch a full YouTube video share so the Tiktok came along and now it's like where else would why would you go back why would you go on fucking YouTube when you could be on TikTok for you know right for those fast moments but you know I think the people that are still watching the videos want to watch videos for a long time because they're watching them on TV yeah for sure yeah and that's a big one I watch it's like that's like I'm having my dinner let me put on Netflix or let me put on David's video and you're literally competing with Hulu and Netflix Togi who's one of my favorite people to watch on YouTube he is he's like Steve will do it's like best friend partner and crime yeah he just posted two days ago a four hour and 10 minute video wow it's a long upload he goes to Japan okay four hours he's always scheming on how to make money she's always like I'm gonna start a business so he did like two things with Japan he bought his own he bought Japanese trucks and then shipped them to the U.S. and sold them in Austin Texas and so he bought 12 trucks you know like Japanese trucks are like really small and tiny yeah anyway he did the math from from shipping to registering to finally selling off all of the trucks he made $4,000 oh my god incredible and this four hour video is he like watched he saw something where like Tuna's are really like you can get a record breaking Tuna and they could sell for half a million dollars so he flew to Japan with his four friends to get on a fishing boat yeah try to find the Tuna try to find Tuna yeah kidding and he finds he doesn't find a big Tuna yeah but he finds like big Tuna's where they're like eight thousand dollars U.S. dollars yeah and he has like six of them so he like goes around Japan like and he's like you could sell it to people that sell it to the Tuna market you could sell it to people that sell it to the stores yeah but he's like that's stupid because then why the fuck why would I be paying for people to do a job that I've already should be doing myself yeah which is selling the Tuna cut off the middle man yeah so he's going now he's going directly to the shop so he's going to like the no booze and the ketsuya's of Japan basically knocking on the doors and where's the Tuna on ice it's on ice in a back of a van wow yeah and he sells it all surprisingly like the Tuna guys come out and they're like this is a nice one in Japanese he has his translator and he keeps all of it in like all of the discussions yeah all the discussions are there amazing and then like those there's a he sells one of the tuna for like eight thousand U.S.D. or something and he's like okay well like this is the first tuna he sells he goes like so he's gonna like wire me the money or like he's gonna be cash and I want to get to him like how like Toby's not even like tuna graded like is there not like something that has like does he have to have certification like how is he just and yeah the guy comes out with cash gives him the cash and Toby brings the tuna into his shop like with his buddy they like lift it yeah and the shop is as big it's maybe three times the size of the tuna so the Tuna are the Tuna is already taking up a lot of the room so like what do I count it one of my favorite youtubers is definitely Toby and it's definitely on the longer side and he's I actually want to have him on the podcast he's really interesting because he he doesn't operate like a regular human neither to Steve I've said this before they're they're both like sort of on the spectrum in the most positive way they have like a bit they're like a very specific type of person I don't how to explain it but it's the most interesting to watch because they're not it's not a regular human that like just like wants to make videos they love making videos there is so much passion in those two making videos and it's seeping out of the videos it's like it really is and they have like such incredible goals to reach like Steve is like dead near broke that then he's too rich it's just like it is it's magnificent they should win the Hall of Fame for YouTube I there's nobody there's nobody on the planet that's making videos like him nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody there's car youtubers boring vloggers like me boring there's tech guys boring but what they do it's on the line yeah and and when you're watching the videos it's not it's not a job to them it is all or nothing what you're getting on the screen you're getting everything from them it's really hard to explain yeah it's I mean yeah I know you explain it's kind of like it does in a weird way remind me of when we were vlogging in like 2019 and there was like all encapsulating and that was all of our life and there was nothing else that mattered it's very similar to that they just added differently that's fun yeah so yeah big fan there that was a bigger little big big ramp and I was shooting the the ED medication thing the other day in your yard oh my god you had a boner in my yard how many things I have in my yard well I'm sleeping no but this was funny I I'm like saying the ad and Toby's like what is it what what is it is it gum and to be in our like it's not it's not gum it's like a lozenge and he's like but but what is it we just kind of like ignore him oh he didn't know and then maybe like a half an hour later we're filming we're still filming and I'm saying everything that it does and he goes he goes oh I get it that's really so funny that's like oh I oh he didn't know his boner pill at all no damn he's going into his senior year he so crazy he's like been so young forever yeah he's only going into his senior year it's crazy yeah you think the Rizzler would be golden to senior year but like senior year he still It seems like too young. senior year. I don't know why. Well, he is young for his age. He is. He's young for his grade. Yeah. Because Charlie is really like a year older than him and she's going into senior year. Oh, he's 17. I feel like that's like senior year. I guess I was young for my age too. When did he turn 17? August. Just now. Yeah. So he was 16. Oh, yeah. Okay. I turned in July, so I was in the same situation. And Natalie, Natalie turned to December. Natalie was the youngest girl in our grade. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. He's still blue by everybody. Yeah. No, she did blow everybody, but I'm sorry, Natalie. Did you feel that way? So called for. Did you feel like you were smarter? Oh, let me pause us in that way. What was that? What was that? Why did I just take a shot like that? I don't know. Like it's really strange. And even she's like, what happened? I already forgot. What were you saying? Did you feel younger in your high school? You're behind everybody? Well, you know, it's when you smile. No, no, no, no, no. Was this part? No, I just cheated. But like, you know, like when you're in, I don't know if you remember this, but like when you're in high school and you're like a senior and you look at the freshmen, you're like, what the fuck? Like we were that small. Freshments are literally like damn near toddlers when you're a senior. Like that's how that's how it appears. They're different. Yeah. They're walking around. They're tiny. They're like really, it's that's why high school is so fucking funny. Because it really is like the craziest. Like freshmen is the definition of like high school. Like like a freshman in college doesn't just doesn't do the same thing. As like a freshman in high school is like this person is like you a lot of be here without your parents is like that's how small those people are. I like watching the Little League World series. Little League. What's great are they in? They're like 14. Oh wow. And it's something about watching like a 14 year old hit a home run. Yeah, but they got to be good. They already got well, they're in the world series. So they are good. Yeah. They made it that far. But I mean, little little kid athletes are like they get get good. I feel like already at like 12. That's where it starts to get like, oh, fuck, I can't compete with this guy. But yeah, Toby asked me about vlogging. He's like, well, actually, I don't know if I put it on him. Regardless, I brought it up. I was like, have you ever tried vlogging? He's like, I thought about it. I was like, you should vlog your senior year. Yeah, we talked about it here. Really? Yeah, on the pod. What the fuck? Yeah. It's kind of damn dude. I need, I need help. I need like, why don't you? You know what? It is a hard thing though. You can't really. He thinks he, I think he's going to do it. Is that's the new update? You can't do it for somebody. That's the thing. What do you mean? It's like, you can't really help him. There's nothing you can do. I agree. Yeah. They just asked, these asked to have like a fire under his ass. They just asked to want it. Yeah. Like Toby. Like Toby. You don't have to call it some tuna. Toby and Toby show. No, what was it going to say? Yeah, but he wants to do it. I told him just to make one video through senior year and maybe that's what he'll do. That's so cool. Yeah. Even if you don't post it, like just to have the coolest videos on TikTok are when you see like a college from like the 1990s and it's their senior year. Have you seen those? It's so cool and it's like, obviously the only camera in in school. That's recording people. Like obviously no one has cell phones and everyone sees the camera and they're like, everyone's excited to participate in it. You know, easy would be to be a vlogger in the 1990s. Oh my god. Sick. I think it turned into like films. Like I think like if you vlogged in the 1990s and you put together something from an hour for senior year, it would have become like a movie. Or like, I don't like, I don't even know where you would have posted it. But like, I feel like a theater distribution would be warranted for it. We were at dinner last night and we were with white and trolley's friend Dylan and he has his little account called the food factory boys and it was so awesome because doesn't want to be a content creator. He doesn't care at all. But he like whipped his phone out and he's like, alright guys, we got to like make a video about the food tonight and he like leaves all the mess ups in. He doesn't edit and it was like so pure and I was like, damn, this is fun. Food fat. And does he have it to their channel? He's it's on Instagram. He's probably got like 17 followers. He's not trying to like, he wants to be like a sports agent. But there's that. There's the kid. There's that kid who fucking forgetting his name. Who's that kid that was reviewing the school lunches on TikTok? I don't remember his name. I don't know but that was hot cast you did? No, no, no, no, not the food. He was literally in the cafeteria. He were reviewing lunch box lunches. Oh, so fun. Like other people's. He was probably, no, no, his. Oh his. His and he started to run out of content because they were repeating the lunches and other comments would be like, what the fuck's going on at your school where they keep giving you the same lunch? So then he like started to move in. He's probably like 11 years old and then he started to move into like foods like wingstop and stuff. And each video would get like two to three million views. Yeah. And it was crushing. And that's an example of like a guy who was blowing up who I don't think anybody around him had any idea on which money that guy could be making. Yeah. Like if a brand came to him, obviously they probably only sent him gift cards. Yeah. But he could have easily charged $40,000, $50,000 for a TikTok. And like if that's just only if his parents knew, I wanted to, I really, really wanted to. I don't know if I could still do it. I guess I'll just say it. But like I wanted to invite him to Dobrix. Yeah. And like have him do a food review and then at the end give him like $30,000, $40,000. Like an ass payment. His first brand deal. Like without telling him, I thought that'd be really fun. This is the pizza sucks. He said, well, he still did the review. So I gotta gotta pay you again. No, he's a he's a positive reviewer. But we're working on our second pizza location. Where do we say? I think it's I think the podcast is like, look at you guys growing up. You guys have done so much. You've accomplished so well, right now, they're looking at me like we can't talk. Well, I just like it's like we haven't like officially signed the lease on the spot yet. So I don't like to like, and I feel like you don't either like to jump like. Oh, I have. You have a notice I've been jumping the gun on the pod like a lot. I talk about videos. I don't really care. Videos are different because like we're in complete control of the restaurant space. Like we're not I'm I don't have a hundred percent control over that. But I think it's still fun. How much percent you got control of? Look at chunk. I think it's I think it's still fun to talk about even if it falls through because then it would be like, look at how hopeful we get back in. Let's look at this guy developing as a human being. Why? Putting himself out there. I love it. Sell the people. Don't talk about it, Jay. Three million views sucks. I'm not doing it. No, no, no, that's good. Well, I'm only saying that because it's the podcast and it's like and no one listens to this. No, I'm saying you dumb asses. I'm saying like I would never say this to a person in real life. Sure. But like to say it here is kind of fun because then you could document like if we fuck up. But Vernon Hills would be our next location. No way. Yeah, it should be sick. Shut the hell up. Yeah. Wow. I like a really good spot. And hopefully we can open it by spring. Yeah. Wait, not next to the famous place that we go to there. I don't want to say where where's the famous portillas? Yeah. There's not places next to portillas. That'd be sick. But there's there's an area that's really I'm already giving it away. But yeah, it's yeah. Wow. We're trying we're we're yeah, the lease is not signed. But like has the conversations been have the conversations been had and have we picked up the spot? Yeah. And like are we all agreed on this one spot? Yes. The lease has not been signed. The build out has not started. But we're thinking it would it would open around next year. Yeah. Well, that's interesting thinking. Why? Can you can you go a little bit behind that? What do you mean? What's like financially? That's that's really interesting. What is? To open it in your hometown rather than a big city as you're paying like less rent. Well, people will come to it. I guess this is what the podcast listeners can help me with. I feel like I may have even mentioned this on the pod. Like we have like business classes in my high school. Yeah. And like obviously I'm all about high school. Right. I'm all about my high school specifically. And like one, I want to be able to like be the place that students go on lunch break like when Chick-fil-A came to town nice for the first time. It was a big deal. So Chick-fil-A representatives came into our school came into our business classes and gave out gift cards for like opening day. Yeah. Like it was like a big it was basically like Scientologist walked in but the religion was Chick-fil-A. And they were all converting us in our high school. It was really cool and it got you really excited about Chick-fil-A. And like I just want to be able to incorporate like Dobriks with maybe even my high school like even like I thought is there an idea to where the business class like runs the Dobriks finance financials like actually runs the real business. Right. Like I don't know how that works and like what happens when that class graduates and then goes on to the next like does it stay within the class. I don't know. It should be like an afterschool program for business nerds. Yeah. But like also like very easy things right. Like giving discounts to burn hills kids or to Libertyville kids or kids like in like just high school kids in general. I also think like bigger picture aside from like the high school element that's really exciting and like making a really fun video around it. Obviously like getting the whole community together it'll be so cute and everyone's going to be so excited. But like we also have we have the location in LA that we pay you know it's like big city location but then also like the goal is to like eventually like franchise over X and have them like in a bunch of different places. So like to have the proof of concept, like, "Hey, yeah, it works "in a big city on Sunset Boulevard, "but then it also works in like a small town suburb." - I mean, and we were meeting about like, what would excite David the most? - Yeah. - I'm me being dated about where to go, and it's like, I don't care about being in Vegas, like as much as I care about being in my hometown. Like that is such a big deal to me. - Yeah, that's smart choice. You guys are so smart, you always maneuver the right way. - Really? - Yeah. - And it'll be so, could you imagine that video will be so fun, so fun. Like having people come to the opening and they're just like a full Vernon Hills vlog. Maybe I'll plan it around like Vernon Hills days or I'm probably not gonna sit, it should open in the spring. But like, I don't know, we'll do like, maybe we'll even throw a fair. That's kind of cool. - It's nice. - Maybe we could ask the city, oh here I am, thinking out loud that things may happen. Like it might have to call snoop. - Might have to call snoop. (laughing) - Might have to go big daddy. - And you know what, David, I know I'm gonna be there. (laughing) - Friends and family. - You know what Natalie calls snoop? - No, we're some of favorite kind of pizza. - What? - What? - Well she talks to-- - That baby girl. - She talks to like this family. - Yeah. - That's how she talks snoop. - Yeah. - And they're always like, you know Snoop's always down for friends and family, right? - Yeah, we're like friends and family now. - Yeah, we're friends and family of snoop. - That's cool. - Pretty fucking sick. - Yeah, just like fucks with us. (laughing) - Cause that's up de-merding. - Cause all the people will come. All the people will come and be like, well, can I have Snoop for this? - Yeah. - And then-- - And the family's like-- - The family will be like, you, they're not friends and family. It's not how it works. And I'm like, damn, so we really are like that. - Oh! - I didn't know that. I thought he was just saying, I thought that was just like a thing how he spoke to everyone. - Oh my god. - I was like, this is an honor. Thank you so much. I'll see you for Halloween party. - Christmas morning, you get a phone call. You're not at Snoop's house, they're pissed. (laughing) But yeah, no, I think, yeah. So if anybody has any ideas for how to like, reveal that Dobrik's location, I'm really, really excited about it. I think it's just gonna be like, so, I don't know. I love going back to my home town. - I do go back to my hometown. - In two, three days gonna be fucking, you're gonna see me like-- - No, you're going to Chicago. - Yeah, but it's all my hometown friends will be there. - You're gonna make the drive? - It's driving back. - The 35 minute drive to the suburbs? - No, I was going to origin, oh, yes, yes, yes. - You are? - Yeah, yeah. - I think on the way up to-- - Yeah, we're gonna like house. - There's a lake house, yeah. - 'Cause I think I want to shoot something in front of the location or at least go see it. - Remember when we drive by the airport in Verna Niles and you're like, "Why can't we just fly in right here?" - Why can't we? - Midway. - No, no, there's an airport in Verna Niles. - Oh, oh, what really used to work? - Yeah. - Oh, yeah, that'd be amazing. (laughing) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that'd be incredible. Maybe one day we will, when we saw Dobrik's, we'll land the private jet there. (laughing) What was it gonna say? Yeah, no, but I'm really excited. - The club that we like going to in Chicago has recently gone from 21 and up to 23 and up. - Yeah, they changed the eight. - Do you think that makes people, do you think more people are gonna be dancing or more less people are gonna be dancing? - I don't know, I feel like the older you are, the less shenanigans are going on. - Yeah, someone said something that's gonna be less sloppy, which is actually like so true and it's really nice. 'Cause 21-year-olds are really fucking young. - Yeah, I mean, they're just out to get fucking black out. - Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And now imagine if you had a fake ID making that jump to 23. - Yeah, yeah. - That's it, you could get one printed, right? But you're 19. - Well, I feel like a lot of people are if they're trying to get into, they're probably using their fake IDs from when they were 19 to get them to 21. Now that same ID, they're rehashing. Now it's getting them to 23, right? It's pushing the same two years. - Yeah, but I mean, when you look at somebody, you're like, could be 19, could be 21. Like if I'm the bouncer, but I'm like, 23? No, no fucking way, you're 23. - Right, right, 'cause that's an easy way to decipher. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm kind of excited to check it out 'cause it's like, that's kind of a vibe. I feel like everyone's going to be like, you know where I felt like kind of like, people were really old, Disney World. Like when we went to Disney World and we drank, everyone was like, it was like just Disney adults. Obviously, 'cause there's a bar so the kids were coming in there. And there's not really like 20-year-old Disney adults. - What do I think of Disney adults? - Were there some people there that were just like, really into Goofy? - Really, I don't know. - I think Disney adults get like a really bad rap. I think there's like, there's outliers of Disney adults that are-- - You're kind of a Disney adult. You're kind of a Marvel adult. - Well, okay, but there's not like-- - Which is Disney. - Yeah, but I feel like when you think of Disney adults, you think of like the people that are going and harassing. Like, like there's this one thing on TikTok. It's just like one, have you seen this? - No. - There's this one girl who's been going up to Peter Pan. - Yeah. - And has like 300 videos on YouTube about him. And it's just her interactive with Peter Pan. And it's like, and there's now edits of Peter Pan trying to get away from her. It's really interesting. I don't know. - So the Peter Pan that works in the park in Florida has someone harassing him. - Not harassing, just like a really big fan. - Oh, cool. - And like takes away from Peter Pan being able to be Peter Pan around other people. - Oh. - Hey, Peter! Like that. - Yeah. - What's new today? - Yeah. - Which is like, how are the tights? - I don't know. I guess I kind of, it just sucks because it takes away from other people enjoying Peter Pan. 'Cause now he's so busy. But yeah, so there's just the adults that like, you know, there's just the adults that like going there. - Yeah. - And there are Chalibat and there's just the adults that are scary. - I said. - I didn't see many scary disease. Like I saw a woman, one of my favorite people I met there. She goes every year for her birthday. And she goes by herself. And she was like, I don't know, 'cause 72. - Okay. - And she's there on her own. Just, she was on a scooter. She's on her scooter, like just riding around. Like that's so fun to me. Like that's such a cool tradition to have on your own. And like Disney, like the way people obsess about Disney is the way like, if there was like a high school adult day where I could have a high school reunion every year, you bet your ass, I'd be there. Do you mind one? Why don't you do it every year? - 'Cause I don't know actually. - You should just do it. Say, guys, and whoever wants to come can come. - Yeah, you're right, I probably should. - Yeah, and have it, and don't make it like, Dave-A-Fied, like have it at the Sheridan. - No, no, it can't be Dave-A-Fied. - It can't be Dave-A-Fied, it has to, no, it has to just be like, it just has to be a bar. - Yeah. - I'll never, I'll never forgive John. And was it Ilya? That was scary to go to the high school reunion. - Yeah, that was pretty recent, wasn't it? - Yeah, I'll never, like I just brought up John the other day. I was like, "What were you thinking?" And not only that, but-- - What did he say? - Well, he came to Chicago with us, right? You remember this? He came to Chicago. - Yes. - And then right before we got to the street, the bar was on where the reen was gonna be held. He turned away, and he's like, "I'm not going in. "Tell me when you're done." So he missed the actual reunion, and then joined us again when we took everyone from the reunion to the club. But like, just could not go to the, there was no difference in people, 'cause everyone from the reunion came with us to the club. - Right, so he saw them all there, too. - He saw them all, but like, it was the official happening of the reunion. - Why do you think he wouldn't wanna go? - I don't know. - Maybe there was just like, was he like, maybe he didn't have a good time in high school, and he doesn't wanna face those people. - That's not true, though, and that's not the types of people that were at the reunion. It's not like your bullies came back. - I had mine, I felt nothing. It was really bad. - You didn't feel any joy? - No, I was just talking to people. I was just like, "Why the fuck?" - But you're like that, you're so like, you don't hold on to like nostalgia. Like you're not really like your- - I don't. - No, you're not. - I mean, I wish I did. I like seeing my family. - You're really like real. You're like, you're very, no, not real, that's not true. You're just so not even glass half empty. You're like, "Oh, there's cracks in the glass." Like even if it's full, it's still pouring out. That's how you look at things, I think. Like I think you're just like always, worst case scenario. And yeah, that's fucking life. It's going to fuck you. It will fuck you. And when it's done fucking you, it's gonna fuck you again. I have a question for you before we end the pot. This is, this was on TikTok. You get $10 million right now, cash. - Okay, okay, great, done. - But anytime, I don't know if it was $10 million or $100 million, but I think, let's go with $10 million. - Okay. - You get $10 million, but at any point in time, there's a large man, like I'm talking like Sumo wrestler, 800 pound man, you could be with your family, you could be out in public. - 800. - You can be, and you could be doing anything. He comes and fucks you. - How many times? - For five minutes. - How many times does that happen? - What? - At any time. - Once. - Just once? - Once for $10 million, and I'll give you, I'll give you 10 years for that to happen. - Anytime in 10 years, once? - Yeah, I would do it for my kids, you know? - You would do it for your kids. - Yeah, I would do it. And that's the fun thing about kids is, your ability to do stuff goes up a million times. - I think that question's not fair to ask, like somebody like me or you, because we'd find the humor in that. (laughing) - I don't know. I mean, I definitely would be like this for 10 years, looking over my shoulder. - First of all, is this it? Is this the time? - Yeah, but it sounds like a dream I would have. - But let's say, let's say a genie comes down and actually gives you that situation. - Yeah. - Right, like as a guy who creates content. If a genie came down to me, a genie, I'm like a real fucking genie. It's floating around. And it's like, Dave, I'll give you $1 million. - Awesome togi video. - I'll give you $10 million. It gives me the same predicament, right? Maybe I'm not as excited for that, right? But like, I am excited for the fact that now I'm gonna be able to go on my YouTube channel and be like, "You won't believe this. "A genie visited me and gave me 10 million dollars. "I showed people the 10 million dollars." And then I go, "I'm going to be fucked "once the next 10 years." And that storyline is incredible. - 'Cause you're good. - 'Cause when that guy comes, and he's like running at me from really far away, and I have just the amount of time to turn on, maybe my iPhone camera, and to film him, and maybe get like a mile ahead of him, maybe run away for a little bit. - Yeah. - I mean, that's a fucking, that's a premise right there. - That's a banger. - That's a banger. - It will keep people hooked for 10 years. - For 10, well, I wouldn't do it that way. I would just post the video in its totality. So I shoot it day one, and I wouldn't post it till the fucking happened. - Oh, I got it. - I wouldn't want to like, blue ball people no pun intended. So if anybody knows a genie, but yeah, I don't know, it would be an honor. What is something that you hold on to in a stop like what's like a moment that you can go back in time to Jay, where you're like, and don't fucking, don't give me some bullshit about your kids being born. Give me something like real like, like. - A moment that I cherish? - Yeah, like when it was just you, and maybe your friends. Like was there a moment in high school, something happened, like you got laid, you got, you were made it to the state championship. - I really cherish like the working stuff with you a lot. - Oh God, you're so boring. - Why? - No, I'm kidding. - That was so fun. - No, that was really awesome. - I mean like, flying to Miami on a private jet, stuff like that's like, wow, crazy. - Yeah, no, no. - I think, you want like a friend thing? - No, no, I'm trying to unpack where you just said, because-- - I mean, I did ask it with my friends once, and that was really fun. I always remember that. - That's so interesting. - Laughing for hours. - That's such a Jason way to answer that question. Is for you to say there was a drug involved. Not that you're druggy. - Yeah. - But like again, I think it goes back to what I'm saying. Is you as a person. - Okay, here's a great moment of life. - No, give me something, just raw. - Okay, raw Jason. - A great moment in my life was I would have to, I was a really good pitcher. - Oh, nice. - When I was a kid, around 11, 12 years old, I was the best pitcher in my little league, and my dad would come home from work and warm me up. - Oh, that's nice. - That was like the only time that like my dad and I were on the same page, and he was happy, and I was happy. - And you played catch with him? - He would, he would, you know, he would get a catcher's mat. And he would warm up and see if I was throwing strikes or not. - Wow. - Yeah, and it was nothing spoken. Now that was probably one of my happiest times. - And after the game he'd beat you. - Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah. - What do you? - No, he wouldn't beat me, but. - But if you had a bad game, would he scold you? - No, he wouldn't scold you after. He scold you during, which was the worst, because then you're like, it's like, what the fuck is everybody doing? And then you're like, fuck. - That's really interesting. - Yeah, I'm trying to think like, when I was in tennis, it's actually kind of shocking. I don't think my dad ever was like, you fucking idiot. Like I don't think he ever would like, showed any sign of like, I think I was like so pissed at myself that there was no room for him to be also mad. - Right. - But like, that is kind of interesting. - Look at that onto this. - That's, yeah. But like, there were tournaments that he like, we drive like four hours away, which at that time is like crossing the whole planet. - Yeah. - Just to go play a tournament. That was a big deal when you were like 13. - Huge. - But yeah, that is really strange. - What's a moment for you that you love? - Well, like my biggest goal in high school was to get onto the Wall of Fame. - The Wall of Fame? - The Wall of Fame. - Is that a sport for athletes? - Yeah. And it was really hard for us to do in tennis, because tennis was the only sport that didn't have divisions in high school. So like every other sport, the football team was competing against schools, the size of our school. But for tennis, we were competing against schools that had like six, 7,000 kids. - Six, seven. - Six, seven. So like, we didn't have any chance. Like our football, like our wrestling team would win state, because we were really good school. And like if let's say I was playing tennis against schools, my size, like I would win state. - Got it, got it. - It was very different. Like I was very good for my high school. But we weren't, we were playing like the best schools, probably in the nation. - Yeah. - Which wasn't like a fair matchup. But that was always my goal, to get onto the Wall of Fame. And there was one game. There was one, it was the final game to get us to the moment where we become all state. And we were down, five, two in the final set. And I would go up to my tennis coach and I'm like, and I'm like, we're fucking down, we're down, we're, I think it says, I'm like, we're down three, two, like we're fucked, we're losing momentum. And my coach goes, no, no, no, no, you're down, five, two. And I look, and I look at the score and like the biggest, whiny baby. I go, fuck, I go, I go like this is, hey, this is my last chance, it's fucking over. And I don't know how, 'cause I'm usually like, this is like part of some magic that must have happened, but usually when I let my mental state go that much, it really is bad. But somehow, we came back and won that seven, five, and won the next set, and my coach was just blown away. He was like, 'cause no one, before that, no one's, except one guy, had no one's been on the tennis wall of fame. - Yeah. - And this was like a very rare thing, and it just happened for us, for us to be able to achieve that. And I remember the match went on so late, obviously, that it was me, my coach, and the rest of the teams there. So when we went back to the locker room, it was just me, my doubles partner, changing. And I mean, I just remember sitting down by the locker, like not even changing, be like, (laughs) I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it. 'Cause you don't have that opportunity ever in your life. I'll never ever be able to compete in a sport in my entire life to that level, where it means everything. That was the NFL, that was the Super Bowl of my time, because I'm in high school, this is the peak of high school sports. And if I didn't win that match, and I was just sitting there, I was like, and I didn't let a single moment go to waste. I was like, this is the peak of my life. Like I just fucking did something. And forever, forever, forever, forever, I'll be able to think back at this, and it'll never change. The outcome of this game will never change. It will always be that I won. - Yeah, well. - And that was mind blowing to me, I don't know. - That's pretty cool. If one, it gives you probably, it gave you a lot of confidence in life. - Yeah, bro. - That you are capable of something extraordinary. And two, it like, you know, you're good like that. - I don't think. - You make it happen when it comes. - I don't think. - And that's like such a strong quality to have. - I don't think, and it's really something. - I don't think I would have been able to vlog to the level or do whatever. - Yeah. - Do like any of the like little side bets I do or anything, if I didn't like overcome that little like, that little fucking game I think had so much to do with my mental state, and like the fact that we won. Oh my God. - Well that's a, there's a vote for sports. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's why I like, that's why when I think about sports. - Yeah. - I just think everyone has to play in high school. I'm worried for how I'm gonna be with my kid. That is like the one thing that I'm worried about. - You think you'll have them be lazy? - Thank you. - No, no, but like, I'm worried that like once, I'm gonna have my kid pick a sport. I think it's really important. I don't think you can put a sport on to a kid. But I'm worried that I'm gonna become like, two tiger parent about it. - Oh yeah? - Yeah, 'cause I want my kid to win. - I don't think you will. - You don't think so? - Yeah, you're right. You'll get out there and you'll see like all the other dads and you'll be like, look at these fucking lizards. I can't do that. - You know what? I also, now that I've like given it some thought, just now in the last 10 seconds. I already won. So like, I don't need to win through my kid. - Right. - Yeah, yeah, right. Like I don't know, like I'd be happy with my kid. So as long as my kid's happy and we're going home happy, I'm gonna get some pizza after the game. - Yeah. - I think that's enough. - Yeah, it's a dangerous area. - Yeah, okay, you're right. I just figured it out. - Good. - Guys, well it's also time we have for today's pod. Thank you guys for listening and we will see you guys for the next one.
