I Bought a Flying Car

what's up guys welcome back to views we are back with another episode straight from the dome guys if you didn't know we freestyle all these episodes none of this is scripted yep that's true yeah oh you missed a line oh it says it says me and natalie and jason freestyle let's try it again okay me natalie and jason all freestyle this is not scripted nailed it uh thank you um guys we're back burning question everybody's mind i already know it is the tesla roadster how lit was it don't worry i'll tell you all about it well you had so many places you could go and you went there yeah because i think i think this is i think because i got so many dms about the tesla roadster i'm pretty excited about it you told me shit yeah i didn't tell you more because i wanted to save for the pod okay um but yeah okay so the tesla roadster that we've been talking about for a long time yeah that i bought eight years ago two hundred fifty thousand dollars you've all heard the you've all heard the story many times first of all it's become this huge hit on the internet and it's really cool because it feels like it's been this niche thing that i've been just like talking about for a really long time and really like i know people did not care about it but like i cared about it and like for one day i finally felt um what's the word not reciprocated but not it's like a word like acknowledged but it starts with an r whatever i felt an r word uh i felt honored and appreciated it's a word of combined you combine those well you were on the you were on the cusp you're on the cutting edge i thought that was so cool that you were there for the thing that everyone on in the world was talking about yeah so we were that's cool so i was talking about how i'd have to make it was the worst travel day ever i had to fly so first we flew from la to japan and i had to be on that flight because we were recording on the flight and then the second we touched down in japan everyone went to their connection to the next country in asia and i had to fly back to texas so i got on a flight right away so i flew to texas for the event and then i got to be at the tesla event for about five hours and then i had to fly back and meet you guys in asia right so i touched down back in the u.s for a couple hours just for this event and ilia met you there right so ilia was going to the tesla event and i was like oh my god i'm i was supposed to make a whole vlog around this tesla roadster and i was so excited um but ilia missed his flight okay so came in a little too late because when once i landed i had to drive two hours and he wasn't going to make it and since uh the roadster event was held on like a government site it was held at spacex um he you had to get approved like two weeks before and i just switched his name out for natalie and they couldn't get him improved approved in time so ilia flew in to dallas was he actually there yeah oh he was in dallas i thought he just missed the flight and didn't come no no no he was there and he was like dude this fucking i felt really bad did you even see him no oh he didn't even see him what did he do he just got back on the next flight oh my god so he just like wasted a day i feel really bad about that um yeah but okay so i got there like i was the last person to check in at the tesla event because i i got there i showered and then straight i i got a room just for first of all i got a room and i did the hilton key thing have you ever done that no it's a for like a hilton rewards member yeah you can get a key on your phone so i didn't i didn't even stop at the front desk like hallie who works with us sent it to my phone and and it says where your room is it's like it's on the third floor and you're 307 so you just go to the room and you open it with your phone like apple pay wow it's fucking crazy don't have to stop at the front desk anything wow save me so much time and then i went to shower and then immediately with wet hair went down in the lounge was where all the tesla people were meeting up everyone had roadster shirts on it was really cool that's cool i was like oh my god i'm gonna go to the front desk and i'm gonna go to i went to check in i was the last person in line they were like closing it off um it was like so clutch like the timing i had was incredible because their food from japan like yeah very limited time and then the lady that was there i love these moments and i don't get to have a lot of these anymore i used to have these a lot as a kid um um but like the lady was like what are you what are you doing here are you media or like she didn't know why i was in line yeah and then you know i was kind of i guess you are media i guess so i didn't really not answer it you kind of and i also kind of wanted to like feel good about it so i was like uh so i kind of like played dumb yeah and uh and then she's and then she like listed all the things but she didn't list roadster owner so i was like oh i actually bought the car like eight years ago and she goes oh like actually like that you're a founder and yes yeah that's what she said she's like oh you're part of the founders uh the founders edition yeah i'm like yes i am and i felt really proud and i don't get those a lot anymore i used to get them a lot when i was like 22 because you look homeless right now with your wet head yeah yeah and and i look extremely young yes for the clientele that was there yeah for sure everyone there's like 60 70 there was one guy that was my age probably about 37 um but everyone there is like 60 70 years old yeah that's crazy you bought the car when you were 22 yeah so what thousand percent was the i think i'm the youngest the youngest founder roadster owner at least there so then they uh she let me through and they gave all the roadster people so there's two ways to get this car right you could have paid fifty thousand dollars just to reserve like a basic one or you could pay the full price two hundred fifty thousand dollars um and then you get the founders edition and that's what i have so everyone that paid for that got a uh got a gold wristband and then we like kind of sat in the hotel lobby it's kind of funny because it was like such an extravagant event and it just felt like we were like the like the like lamest conference ever like there was just like random chairs it looked like it looked worse than like a bingo hall yeah but everyone was just like sitting around um waiting to go to the event was there like a separation of like vip founders yeah so the founders edition people were the last to board and they were on their own like shuttle so they put all the founders people so everyone that was on our greyhound onto the base were people that bought the car full price eight years ago how many people was that like roughly like 40 wow yeah maybe even a little less because everyone had the plus one anybody uh like interesting or like notable that you recognize it was i didn't recognize anybody but like everybody was from all over the world like the guy the guy next to me or behind me was uh fluent from germany yeah so we were all on the greyhound and it was really funny being with all these people because it was it was like everything i say about the car we were all just like regurgitating to ourselves like we were all saying the same like lines like you know if we put this money into the tesla stock and then we finish each other sentences and i'm like it'd be 4.8 it was like really funny because it was like it was like imagine it was it felt like i was sitting with like one-tenth of me yeah and a bunch of duplicates of one-tenth of me like it was like it was like if i got on a bus with a bunch of people that loved high school and went to my high school like it's like oh the things i won't shut up about we're all talking about and that's we all have this in common and it was just funny that we all put money in eight years ago we were all guessing what it is and like the guy behind me is like i heard it can only fly for 20 seconds so disappointing and then the guy next to me was like uh he uh he was like there's a lot of back to the future references about this car like do you think elon invented time travel which is really funny and i was like i mean honestly like that would be pretty fucking cool if like this car can like time travel you somewhere and then we were like talking about like this is elon's farewell and he's going into the past or the future or whatever um wow yeah but that yeah so there's a lot of it was very it's a it was a very hopeful car ride which is which is crazy because it's like it's like it's like it's because every time i talk to somebody about the roadster like you i talked to zane i talked to everyone would be like there's no way it could fly everyone would always say that and i just could not wrap my head around how you could possibly assume it wouldn't fly like that was like the least and granted does it hover like forever no it still only flies for like 20 30 seconds yeah like this is still the beginning of flying cars right like you're not like you're not going from a to b flying yeah that you're not there yet well there's flying and then there's functional flying yeah yeah yeah we're not i think to actually functionally fly you have to like invent some sort of new like magnetic anti-gravity device or whatever it's going to be yeah um but i think this is 100 in my opinion considered flying like if you can jump over nine cars yeah and i know i'm using the word jump but i think it's flying anyway um so yeah i that was like the least of my things i was like it's gonna hover like i know it's going to get off the ground i had no doubts about it yeah and everyone else did i thought that was really fucking strange i thought that it i didn't even invent the fucking thing but like it just felt like i was like am i just around like are people like so close-minded about the future like do they not understand where we are i feel like i'm really good at like like there's full self-driving cars and i don't know i think like zane doesn't understand how crazy that is and i'm like every day i'm like these cars are driving on their fucking own yeah we're here like we're at the future so a car flying on its own that's fucking peanuts like it's like that's like airplanes are basically landing on their own i mean yeah i don't understand like we have airplanes we have helicopters and things like that i mean i guess to be able and everyone's like do you need a okay i'm jumping ahead now myself but like do you need a pilot's license sorry to cut you off i mean whatever no no go go no it's totally fine i just i just we've been listening to you for the past fucking 20 minutes i was just upset about about he's I was upset about people doubting it. I don't know. I just didn't really get it. It was pissing me off. No, for sure. What were you going to say? I don't know. I mean, now it just feels really minuscule. No, just do it because my mom's going to fucking kill me if I don't let you talk. I was going to say. You did it again, David. The part that's crazy. Yes, we have planes. Yes, we have helicopters. Okay, okay. That's good. But to have a car that is just the shell of a car and flies without wings or propellers or anything like that, that is pretty fucking crazy. It has wheels and it's all of a sudden just flying. Oh, you're saying it is crazy. Yeah. No, it's definitely crazy. Yeah, it's inevitable, obviously. We have things that already fly, but just to make it come back. So we pulled up to the place. It was SpaceX. We saw the giant rocket. SpaceX, cool. Yeah, so while the event was loading up, there would be announcements that would sound, almost like end-of-the-world announcements that would play through all the speakers. And they were like, please put in your earplugs for the remaining 10 minutes because SpaceX was testing. They were testing their rockets literally 200 feet away. So we would turn and this whole, it looked like a rocket was about to take off. We all thought it was going to take off. Was that part of your deal or did they just happen to be testing rockets? No, they were just working. You would think they would stop testing rockets. Yeah, for like the two hours. When you bring people in, but they're working. No, they do that nonstop. Oh, wow. I mean, did you see what Elon's doing? Did you see he, for SpaceX, they deployed like 20 satellites. In like one go, like up into space. And they're going to deploy, they're going to deploy like a new satellite every, every day. For like, because Elon's building his own cell phone and his own cellular network. It's going to destroy every fucking. Starlink? Yeah, but it's going to be, it's going to be its own, it's going to destroy everything. ATT, T-Mobile, everyone can kick rocks. I've heard that, but why is it again going to destroy everybody? Because he has his own satellite in space. So it's just like he can charge so little? And it works the same? I don't think it works the same. I think it works way, way better. Way better, yeah. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be like. Oh, I know what it is. It's like, it's like you can get, you can get like internet anywhere. Yeah, you're in the plane anywhere. You could be in the Congo and you're like. Anywhere. Amazing internet, yeah. Yeah. So that was really sick. And then obviously when we got there, we saw the ramp that was kind of inverted. Yeah. And, and I was like, okay, so obviously the car is going to hang upside down. Yeah. Because I've seen, I've seen like other Chinese cars do that before where they've just gone like fan suction. So like the suction of the car is so good, which is really important when you're like going on turns that the car stays close to the ground. And then the guy I was with was like, I feel like it's going to fly off the edge of it and then land. And I thought that was, as bold as I've been about Tesla, I was like, that's the dumbest idea ever. There's no way it's going to jump off the edge and then flip itself. And then it did that. It did that. It went up and it. It did a little full circle. And the second it happened was a really cool feeling. It was like, it was five seconds of just like the craziest sensation because seeing it with your eyes was like, whoa, like that was like, that was not real. It was literally like seeing AI with your eyes. But in reality, it was really hard to explain. Was there a driver in there? No. No. It's fully autonomous. They did it for safety. So, yeah. Everything that the Tesla was doing was it was doing by its by itself. Wow. And Elon said that later, too. He's like, once the cars are available to people. This is also why I was like, everyone's like, is that people going to be a pilot's license? It's like, no, your car is obviously going to do it on its own. It'll be 3000 times safe. Like SpaceX is landing rockets right on its own. So if you've seen videos, SpaceX will send a rocket up into space. And then when it comes back down, it lands itself. From space. So they use those same thrusters and they put in the car. But yeah, I think it was the best product demo of all time. And also the worst. Because Elon didn't talk about anything other than the flip. It started with the flips. Yeah. Ended with the flips. And it was 20 minutes long. What did he say? Not much. Yeah. Just, yeah. He just, he, it was the coolest thing in the world. But selfishly, as a guy who's been waiting for this for eight years. Yeah. I was like, so. What else? Yeah. No, not only that. I was, I saw the product demo and I remember leaving really sad. Yeah. Because I was like, fuck. No, I was like, this, this, I was like, there's no way I'm getting this in two years. Yeah. Like, I was like that. I was like, I really hoped it was just going to hover off the ground. Right. Like a foot. Then I'd be like, yep, it's coming. Whatever just fucking happened. I think that that was, he was just showing off like. The craziest circumstance of it. Well, that's what I said to Nat. I was like, did you ever go to like the auto show when you were a kid and you'd see concept cars? Mercedes would make like a really cool car. That car never gets made. No, those are concept cars. I agree. So that's what I'm asking. Is this like a concept, like just a way to like make a lot of noise? No. Like the car that you're going to get in two years, three years, one year, whatever. It's that car that we saw? Well, okay. So this was, this was another thing he didn't mention next day on the web, on the website. Yeah. You can order. You can order the cars again. Oh. And there's three different ways to order them. You can get like the regular version. That's just like the sporty version. And then you can get the performance version that has the thrusters that only send you forward. So you can go zero to 16.8 seconds. And then there's a third option that's invite only that has, that's called the rocket option. And that's the collab with SpaceX where you can take flight. And you can't actually click that option. So that says invite only. And I assume when I, when I bought the Roadster. It said I was going to, I think I was going to get the SpaceX package with it. So I assume that's the part I'm in. But that's what worries me is like, will the regular car come out when he promised in 2028? And then will my SpaceX car not come till 2030 fucking three? That's what I'm like. I'm worried that I'm going to have to wait another. Right. Another five to 10 years. No, I don't think so. Or I'm going to have to make a decision and it's going to be like, do you want the regular car now? Or do you want. Do you want the flying one? What will you do? And the flying one, Jay? This is my least favorite part of all cars. Only has one seat. Oh, well, that's not good for Dave. It's not good for Dave. That's anti-Dave right there. Very anti-Dave. Oh, Dave likes to show off. Very anti-Dave. Dave likes to take his friends and have fun. Yeah. That's going to be really tough. You can't, you can't. That's why it's a tough decision. It's like, oh, what's, what's cooler? Going zero 16.8 seconds with two people or flying with one. I still think it's flying. I still think like just having it at the house and showing people that are on the outside is cool. Yeah, I don't know. That's tough. But that is kind of sad, huh? That sucks. Yeah. Is that like a safety thing in case it. No, because it needs so much of the, it needs an extra like air thing. Oh, maybe for the weight too. Yeah, which is really cool. They said that, and this is another thing I was worried about was I thought that the, the, the thing that makes it fly. You're going to have to like go to Tesla and you're going to have to like refill it like every time you want to fly. But no, it's just, it's, it's just air. The car literally pumps it like it puffs itself up and it's ready to go again in three hours or sorry, 30 minutes. Wow. It's pretty cool. So it's not. So you do a flip every 30 minutes. Yeah. Or like, yeah. Or like use the thrusters to like go fast every 30 minutes. Pretty fucking cool. Pretty cool. I thought it was going to be like the specific. The specific gas that you need to go get somewhere. Yeah. And then he also said that there's going to be specific places like Tesla's going to, this is kind of what I said is Tesla will have specific places you can go to like fully fly and test your car out. But I think in general, like let's say you want to do a flip or you want to fly like this is what other people are like. Other people are like, there's no way you're going to be able to do this in traffic. It's like, yeah, fuck no. You're not going to be able to do this. You can't just jump over like five cars in traffic. Like that's not what it's going to be like. But. I'm sure if you're in an open parking lot, your car will give you permission just the same way it uses full self-driving now. It'll be like, okay, no power lines, no trees, no things above you, no things, no things 50 feet around you. You're good to do a flip or whatever. And then you'll hit a button and it'll automate the flip for you. So I don't think it's like that crazy to think of like what this car is going to be able to do. But yeah. What did you think when you saw it? I thought, oh, that's really cool. Way to make a lot of money. Way to make a lot of noise. Way to get people excited. I thought it's cool to like, you know, ever since I was a kid, when you watch that show, The Jetsons, you would think like, oh, one day we'll have flying cars. And it's like, I think it's a cool move by Elon to just, he did it, you know, like that's cool. I think it's really cool. You know, and he, I love everything he's done. I mean, I love my car so much. Somebody said, not somebody, a lot of people would be like, well, why don't we need flying cars? Right. You know what I mean? I fucking hate that attitude so much. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Because like, we don't need flying cars, but we need innovation. Like, this is what drives people. Yeah. It's like so fucking cool. Uh-huh. Like, why shit on something like this? I just think people are so miserable. It pisses me off so much. We need it because there's a kid out there that saw that. And now he's going in and fucking save your life from fucking cancer in fucking 15 years. Wait, what? What did you say? Well, I'm just saying it's going to inspire that kid to become his own, like, innovator. Yes, yes. And he's going to create things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And now there's going to be other things. that are going to come out of this. I just, I don't know. Um. so yeah no i'm very impressed i thought it was really really sick well congrats that was a long road for you i was really stoked to be there i feel like i was at like the apple iphone release because i even saw a lot of people like online like there's one account it had like 300 000 likes and it was like i want to hear from the people that were there were they just looking at screens or did they see it with their own eyes and like all the comments were like i think they were just looking at screens and everyone's in on it and they had this and i was like wow this is so cool i feel like i'm like part of like a pentagon conspiracy theory here i've never been on the inside um no fully fully got to see with my own eyes i wish i was closer could it have been all smokes and mirrors from far away i don't know i wasn't i think i think i think you're gonna end up taking the car without the flight yeah i wouldn't because i'm gonna be so impatient or because i want two seats couple of reasons yeah those two reasons you're gonna be like i i just want i just want a functional car yeah because everybody else is like everybody else is going to receive it and then you're still not gonna have it and like everyone's gonna be because really all you can do is flip in the parking lot i don't dude right and it's like not even a no no no that's a big deal can you take the car down the street and fly over the houses right now if you had it no no you can't so you can just flip yeah that's all you can do right uh no i think what he showed you is like what the car could do but i think you're going to be able to do like really basic things that'll be even cooler like i think you'll be able to like hover maybe 10 feet across you know i mean uh-huh like i think it'll look cooler when you're just i think he shows you the cool things from far away like really like but i think like it's just hovering for 10 seconds a foot off the ground and maybe going to 30 feet forward will be like that'll be fucking cool and then of course i guess what would that car be worth i don't want that car well that's that's gonna be exciting i think i think that car when it comes out with the rockets yeah like let's say i get it for 250 right because that's how much i bought it for i see i i easily easily it'll go for at least a million easily probably two right away but i don't know some collector would want to sell it anybody anybody would want it and right away and out of all the people that were there um everyone like reserve theirs not out of everyone sorry i only talked to like four people but like out of those four people they all reserved it like a couple months after me so i was still very very i was like one of the first to reserve it so i am excited about getting it but no i don't want to be in that car and someone pulls up to me and goes make it fly and then i have to explain to them that i don't have that package so i think i'm gonna wait i'm gonna wait for the full it was it was more important that i could have a friend with me i chose that over flying yeah this is mike lindsey he's in town from chicago he just lost his job we're gonna find him something else why fly you have friendship um no but really cool yeah and then i flew back it was really funny i i i was the first to leave the event everyone got to go play with the car yeah um but i had to you didn't get to see the inside of the car because that's what i'd be interested in no i like to see the inside of the car i like to see the inside of the car i saw videos of it looks really nice really yeah it looks incredible does it have a steering wheel oh yeah it's a yoke steering wheel yoke yeah it's really nice though that's nice it's brake by wire um laptop steer by wire uh you mean the screen screen yeah yeah yeah the screen's nice ipad screen yeah it's it looks kick-ass um heated seats which is nice um okay we assume that the uh the seat no four wheels it doesn't even have like it doesn't have um it doesn't have like electronic you can't move your seats electronically what the seats move in a way where like you're on an airplane you hit a button and you know you like lean back to push it back and then it'll pass back because they're just trying to save weight oh kind of analog huh the whole car weighs less than like a two-seater porsche oh which is insanity because the car is electric so batteries are really fucking heavy it's a really really light car no backseat i think the whole body's made out of carbon fiber and then no backseat no backseat no backseat no backseat no backseat no backseat which is sad because this car is no longer a roadster even roadster means it's a convertible this car is no longer convertible oh yeah um but the door is open in a cool way it doesn't look anything like what what the pictures i saw no but i kind of like this seven years ago yeah this has like a look more like a ferrari before i'm like a really proud roadster owner now like now i'm like so excited to have it because it's going to be unlike anything on the road um and i think that's what it's that's what it should be um you could be squished in there what you could be squished in there is it small small uh no no elon's six foot three and so is their designer so they're big boys yeah yeah so they're like they designed it with that in mind which is sick um that's my one gripe about sports cars sports cars yeah um but the outside to like get in and out of the outside glass like the black part laying down when you drive um the outside glass part the outside stop speaking the outside the outside glass part charlie called me is uh is is black and uh like with a tint of gold to like to like match the helmets of like um space cadets it's pretty sick yeah what's which space cadets like an astronaut you're a space cadet yeah that's what my dad used to call i don't know i would be uh i meant astronauts i don't know why i said cadet i don't know if if i would like screw something up as a child he'd go oh my god i don't know why i said cadet i don't know hey space cadet what are you doing space cadet um but yeah so i didn't get to see it and then i was driving in they like luckily they got me a car back to the airport because i told them i had to go yeah um so i didn't have to wait for the shuttle and i was in this car and the woman that was driving me was like a tesla salesperson yeah um and she's talking to me about tesla and she's like why did you get rid of your model x i'm like i gave it to a friend um and then she was like would you ever get this car i'm like no it's too small and like as i'm saying it's too small like i look back and i'm like what the fuck and i see seats behind me and i'm like what car am i in what is this i've never had that experience i thought that was really funny oh that's sick what was what were you in there's a model y long oh yeah i've never i've never seen it in real life and i've i had no idea it's like at the model x but no weird doors and but it's got the full six seats oh yeah yeah yeah yeah it's like they're new but they're coming out but it was really because i felt like i was like on a tv show where i was like what what the fuck i was like saying like it felt like i was acting because i was like actually shocked that i was in this car and then how was your trip back to to asia after that i was really concerned for you i flew ava air yeah and let me tell you something america has done such an incredible job of making china and every other country feel like so not cool you know what i mean to the point where like when i was flying back i know china's cool because i've been there now two or three times to different cities and every city is cleaner more efficient and just more kick-ass in general than i guess any u.s city right yeah they're just it's a completely different level but i think the way we were raised you just think china's cheap right yeah yeah that's the whole thing the whole thing is like china's cheap don't build your products there because they'll come out cheap yeah and like poor quality like it's not as quality as america american made is like strong and you know whatever they're so crazy it's like it's serious serious propaganda that like we've like all fallen for and that's also probably our fault because i feel like america is only buying the chief the chinese people are probably like they only want the cheap stuff chinese people are probably like americans are cheap why do they keep buying the fucking shittiest we have so much cooler stuff and they want the shittiest cotton t-shirts um so it's definitely our fault um but anyway i'm saying i'm saying this because i was flying ava air back and my fucking propaganda to american brain was like this sucks i want like i know this flight this i know this fight's gonna suck it was what was wrong with it i think it was incredible oh it was the best fucking flight i've ever been on my entire life oh it was incredible tell me no it was just like brand new the seats were incredible and then it just the worst flights i've ever been on are american and united all the american stuff compared to the chinese stuff yeah or like starlocks or like the fucking ones that you don't see are horrible compared to the everything that's out in the other out in the real world it's really america has done one thing well and it's like fucking screw our brains into thinking that we are we are great for so many things but like what well like basketball basketball no no no no really good at basketball don't get me don't get me wrong i don't want to sound like an american hater at all because i fucking love it here and every time i come back i'm like there's no place like this place yeah but i'm just saying like we have to give credit to other people because please like come on that's nice if you do yeah yeah i was i was back in premium economy today yeah we were flying back 13 hour flight and i was like okay first i checked i was like she's gonna be economy that'll be that'll be rough then i checked with hallie she's like you're in premium economy i'm like oh fucking great which you should have been business by the way i know so i go i go to the fucking i'm on the plane and i'm like i get to premium economy i'm stoked i'm like this is fucking great i'm like i can stretch my legs i'm like i got a big tv screen i'm like oh this is awesome then i see dave he wanders back to premium economy what the fuck's he doing back here he's like yo you okay you okay back here and i go yeah i'm great i'm like this is fucking great i'm like i'm so happy and he goes oh man you were supposed to be in business i told natalie and then so then i was like i was like and then he walked away and i was like oh then it suddenly wasn't so great then i was like fuck i i i told him i was like there's nothing you can do to change it right like no i asked him out yeah i asked well first i thought you were already you were business but then on the flight i was like can i upgrade my friend he's sitting over there and they're like we no longer do in-flight upgrades yeah which is bullshit it's so funny how your brain changes so quickly oh yeah you know what i mean like the the nature of like human beings yeah yeah because you're like this is amazing for sure yeah i mean there's like it's and it was fine i slept the whole time i mean that's like the way you just thought that is like how like i like even when i'm pitching things to like zane yeah like if we're going on a trip yeah and like sometimes there's a brand will have a budget for him uh-huh like you have to go about it the right way you can't be like brand wants to send you they have twenty thousand for you because zane will be like why the fuck don't they have sixty yeah yeah yeah yeah you gotta that's why you gotta go i mean this works on me too it's where you gotta be like hey you want to come on the trip with us we're going to a fun place yeah and then he'll say yes yeah and then be like you want to post this brand i can throw you some money on the sign he'll he'll fucking die for it you know what i mean like it's just like psychology of like how to like present things so yeah that really fucked you up that i came over i should have i should have done that no no it was it was great i thought i could upgrade you then there i felt really bad i was fine i sat next to a little japanese man and we were vibing really yeah and i was just looking at him and i was like i asked natalie if she'd give up her seat for you and what'd she say she just ignored me did you really ask i did that's a wild ask she's already in the seat no no no it's not i was like i was i was just like to natalie it was natalie zane and adam w was like it looks like one of us is gonna have to give up our seat and everyone kind of went silent i wouldn't give up my seat someone asked me to move on the way out i said no oh yeah i heard that yeah i stood up for myself fuck that wait well that's why you fucking that's why i didn't get the upgrade on the way back i guess karma got me that's bullshit wait what where was well i was i was in uh i was going out and and naveen naveen made sure that i she like moved my seat around so i was like oh my god i'm gonna have to give up my seat i'm gonna have to give up my seat so the big thing is this leg room if i can stretch my legs i'm good so she got me the first seat in economy so my i've got this crazy leg room and a wall in front of me that's that's key that's so fucking key so i got my seat i'm so excited and i got this guy next to me and he's like hey he's like can i uh move my daughter up here and he's like will you switch and go to the back so my daughter can sit with me and i just said no i can't i go i got leg problems and he sees the daughter and i go well why don't you just switch with your daughter you take bring this guy next to your daughter next to me and he goes oh no i don't want to do that i go the fuck don't fucking ask me if you're if you're not willing to sacrifice to go sit with your daughter then don't be asking me to move i think that's weird yeah that's fucked up that's really funny so so fuck you then it's also funny how people have different preferences on flights like i hate sitting first really first oh being in the first seat yeah because you're the first asshole everyone looks at no no i hate the wall oh yeah i hate the wall i love i love when there's a seat in front of me because i like the tray i like putting like my foot up on the back of the other person's armrest i know that sounds like invasive but i'm saying like on the backpack like all the way back back where they can't see it yeah i hate the wall the wall is like yeah i love being the last seat i think it's i do you tell hallie that do you does she know that about the last seat doesn't recline as far um no no not the last seat against the wall yeah yeah um yeah hallie's got like really specific oh yo and then i went and then i went from private jet to economy that was fucking that was a whirlwind yeah oh my god private jet fucking karaoke machine we had a blast i mean it was insane yeah then we get to where we're going and then i'm in economy in a row and i'm with scan and mitch and isabel and my sister i thought i was gonna die yeah yeah that makes sense i thought i was gonna fucking die five hours after a four-hour layover you guys had the worst and then a 13-hour private jet ride yeah so they so they all got on a five-hour flight to get to this next asian country yeah and i got on a what 15-hour flight to texas yeah and i was so happy i was getting on the 15-hour flight because 15 hours was like a good time to rest i couldn't have done a five-hour flight yeah it was pretty that would have killed me i was like groggy out of sleep and i just heard scan next to me and what is he like 22 and he's just going fucking kill me he's like fucking kill me right now and i'm like scan you can't talk like that that's really he's like i want to die um was that flight miserable yeah it's pretty they were in first at least yeah it was kind of business yeah it was i looked at it it was just like a regular reclining seat but um but but we landed in the evening so it wasn't like so bad we all just went back to our hotels and knocked out you know no no you you were in economy you were back there with me then the guy then the guy puts the seat down so once they once the guy reclines on you right yeah now he's like in your space how do you feel about that it's fine i mean everybody can recline it's your it's your right to recline but then okay why do people think the opposite because i think that's a hundred percent it i agree if you're gonna you the chair reclines you have the right to recline and the other person has to do how often do you think people recline and knock over because i think about this all the time but it's never happened like knock over the food that's on somebody's i've had that happen to me really yeah well they make you not recline on these asian flights when the food comes out yeah they'll put your they make you go oh put your seat up because it's it's meal service even if you're not eating so you have to like go back up because the person behind you is eating and then scan got yelled at wow this guy was like move your seat he's like stop reclining and scan was like like it's my right to recline that's it he said that he says yeah he did what did you think of um the country we went to is it a surprise i don't know you're being so cryptic you're not mentioning you're like and then we went to the asian we all posted that we were in this country i don't know why you're being i don't even know i'm being cryptic about it like who cares yeah are you glad you just learned the word cryptic yeah oh you know i'm going to start learning new words no kidding no keating um yeah because i think like a big part of like measuring is being funny establishing a vocabulary there's no bigger words oh yeah i agree like i was watching harry met sally on the flight oh so cool and i was trying to catch words that are like words that i didn't know yeah like how words are strung together that i didn't i've never used before i only caught a hmm no nothing that i like remember but like i remember only a couple be like okay yeah because i was trying to see i was like could i possibly write this movie yeah and i was like oh it's okay for like a good 40 seconds i'm like yes yes yes and then i and then i got some weird phrase happened i was like no when i thought of that yes yes no yes so like i i think i want to start not like crazy stupid words where it's like why is he saying that but just like what's like a good word that i'm going to say i'm going to say it's like a good word that i'm going to say it's like a good word that i should be that i should know what should be part of my vernacular i think cryptic is good that's a good word cryptic yeah that's not that big no okay a little bit bigger a little bit bigger um synonymous that's some that's that's the right ballpark i think everyone knows synonymous okay okay okay but like in that ballpark of words um yeah something that i don't know you got any i don't want people to ask me what i mean by that word okay okay you don't want to go too big no no no to sound like i've been on the planet 30 years right now i feel like i'm at i feel like my real age 23 purgatory is exactly the category i would be looking for rancid rancid i mean i don't like that word but yeah um yeah anyway we went to hong kong i love that place i love hong kong i was kind of baffled by it like you hated it i didn't hate it but i was just kind of like hmm interesting i don't get how hong kong is a place where people are like oh my god i don't like it i don't like hong kong is not a bigger place for people to travel to it i don't i don't understand how there's a prada store and then another one across the street it hong kong needs more press somebody how are they that rich it's again it's the u.s fucking doing something to china that doesn't allow us to love it i think hong kong should be like tokyo is talked about like it's the fucking creme de la creme of all yeah travel like tokyo is like the holy grail i think hong kong should be in that same fucking place yeah i agree hong kong should be in the same category what it didn't have like the it didn't have the um so of the I can't put it into words like bro it's the Tokyo has this feel of like oh that's the best skyline everything is done on the entire planet on another level whereas in Hong Kong like you'll get a bad meal right no I mean like I don't think so I mean the restaurants we went to they were fine no I thought the dinner restaurants were good yeah I thought they were really good it wasn't like Tokyo no I thought it was I thought it was exactly like Tokyo yeah it was like literally the same thing yeah yeah no I mean we didn't go to like in Tokyo it's not as refined as Tokyo there's another word for you refined like you mean like Tokyo's more like has its identity yeah it has its identity everything's thought out it's like you get pizza in Tokyo you're like oh shit they they thought of something we didn't think of you know what I mean I think that's Tokyo propaganda getting to you yeah I don't know every time I would go eat in Tokyo even when we went to the airport in Tokyo we were fucking blown away by the airport food we were just like what it was insane insane I had the best food in Hong Kong where? was I with you? first of all the hotel was great and the airport was incredible yeah the airport was great what did you have? are you guys working for Hong Kong tourism? and you didn't tell me? no are you doing a brand deal for Hong Kong tourism? no I swear to God you're being paid? dude I agree with what you hear it's the best skyline on the planet yes that was your room was incredible your room was really nice it's the and I don't think it's like it's not the best like New York skyline is obviously iconic and you could see it cool from like Jersey but like why Hong Kong skyline is so cool is because like seeing it from across the water is part of the skyline do you know what I mean? to enjoy New York skyline you kind of have to leave New York yeah yeah but you're still in Hong Kong like the main area of it when you're seeing the skyline yeah that's why I think it's interesting and when you land in Hong Kong it's like you landed in Hawaii it's like it's warm it's very tropical it's like you see these mountains and you're like where the fuck am I there's islands yeah it's not real it doesn't feel real it feels like a video it's it's what I expected it feels like Heath kept saying it feels like I'm in Ready Player One yeah yeah yeah but the buildings are designed the same way it's a very bizarre I don't know I think everyone should travel to Hong Kong what was your fact about it? it was really interesting you told me on the phone oh we just I just looked it up and that you know Britain Britain gave Hong Kong back to China in 1997 so guys Hong Kong's not a it is a part of China but it's its own thing yeah it's its own thing it's got its own dollar it's got the Hong Kong dollar yeah it's not on the yen and they gave it back to China in 1997 and and China it was making so much money and it was such a epicenter for business that China was like oh we need to leave it capitalists and then in 2047 Britain's supposed to give it back but that's that's crazy I'm sorry I'm sorry it's China's supposed to China's yeah it's supposed to go back to China in 2047 which is crazy right which is which it might not happen like they're saying that's when the contracts up but China has the opportunity to make a communist yes yes but they probably won't because it's doing so well because it does so well which I still don't understand I don't understand how a country can be like yeah we're communist but this little province is not just like what well also Hong Kong is like in the middle insanely expensive first off there's a fact that 1 in 11 people there are millionaires oh wow if you take New York New York's 1 in 21 and the price like for per square footage to live there is crazy our Uber driver was he has a wife and two kids yeah lives in a 300 square foot apartment yeah pays $2,500 a month 300 square feet is like it's like what that's fucking crazy very tiny and for that price it's fucking insane insane that place is so expensive like this house yeah that I'm in right now in Hong Kong would be what 80 100 million dollars easily easily that place is so expensive that it's like I don't know I've never seen Adam W. said something that really bummed me out he was like when you buy a car when you buy a house here it's like it's almost better to rent here in LA and I was like yeah you're right I was kind of bummed I bought my house why do you why because of what like you I feel like I was sold a bill of goods like yeah you need to buy you need to buy you need to buy like that's the smart thing to do and then I bought my house and now I'm like and I like the house but it's like stuff just goes wrong you have to like upkeep the house and there's property taxes I don't know it's like so expensive psychologically I love that I bought the house why what is that it's like my house it's like my thing right it's your thing that you can work on forever I know not everyone has the opportunity to buy a house but I'm saying like Zane refuses to buy and he's always renting and I'm like but you're gonna do so well on this house but I won't make that much money on my house really oh wait remember the psychic we went to that was funny oh yeah I love that psychic I mean no I actually fucking I don't know didn't like her she roasted you I love her energy and she understood what we were doing halfway through I think yeah but initially I was scared to go to her because I hate psychics yeah and then Jason you went up to her to get your face read yeah I went up there and she was just completely off she just she looked at me and she was like she called me big boss she was like you make so much money you have so many girlfriends yeah oh do you remember her reaction when she's like what year were you born you were like 73 and then she was like she's Chinese right so this is all in Chinese accent and then she's like when was your when was your girlfriend born and Jason goes 92 and she goes oh she was shook fucking rattled her brain yeah but Jason went up because I was like I just don't like psychic readings saying the most positive things about Jason she was just off she was just saying like I'm like the man and then she would turn to David and be like you're broke or whatever yeah she turned to me no luck no luck yeah she said she's like she's like you've been very unlucky and I'm like the luckiest person I know yeah but she said my luck was gonna change next year and I'm in my head I'm like fuck it's gonna get better yeah this is sick damn no no no but she I think also I mean she was just kind of calling it as you would see it because you know we were all younger and then Jason was the only guy that was his age in our group right yeah wait and then what did she say about your hair she probably oh yeah well this is the crazy this is the crazy part was that you paid for the reading yeah and I was just standing on the side yeah and then she just like looked at me and then she asked me to take off my hat so she could see my hairline yeah and she fucking I'm being dead ass started dying at my hairline she was like she goes you need to get surgery yeah and I'm like what I'm like that is crazy that was crazy she's like you're you're four she said your forehead big she'd say that about everybody yeah but mine she was like your forehead's huge and then she was like making fun of like how far my hair went up it was really really funny yeah and I'm so pissed because we didn't film that part yeah because that's when the fucking lady the other lady came and she's like you guys have to get permits it was she started going at my hair and it was so good and her Asian accent oh it was just like it was like the like she seemed so sweet with her accent and then all of a sudden just like fucking attacking me yeah it's really really funny she was too and then she looked at Natalie oh my god yeah I got my reading and she was like the first thing she said she was analyzing all of our faces she was like okay good face very strong like man and I was like what no no that's what she said she said she said not like man and she said not like woman you're like man yeah yeah , I was like what then I'm like fuck yeah I like this guy but she also told me that she was like you're gonna find somebody don't worry like in love in a relationship but wait till I'm after 35 I'll have much more luck and like more compatibility if I wait till I'm after 35 so I got five more years in May that's good yeah which I kind of I guess I could understand did you get bummed that she was wrong about so many things because she was saying good things to you if she just left out the other parts yeah she was so you probably you probably would have been really stoked yeah but then it's when she was like you're very rich you're very rich you have girlfriends and then I told her I was married and then she was like it's time to settle down I'm like I'm married yeah and she was like you have to stop focusing on other girls yeah it was like she thought you were like some playboy billionaire yeah it was really funny and then as I was leaving I turned back and I said hey real quick I said what's gonna happen for me next year because she told you that you she told David that you were gonna meet somebody right no she just said I was gonna have really good luck oh okay and she said when I do meet someone to be careful and not trust them yeah so then I go well it sounds like he's gonna have a good year I go what's gonna happen for me next year and she goes oh you're gonna get very sick oh yeah and I was like what oh my god that was crazy she goes big boss gets sick she's like well you've already had such a great life yeah yeah yeah yeah you know what was cute on the trip what is when David would yell at you and your sister would try to defend you I know cause I go home and I cry to her it's so funny like It's just, she is so good. It's so funny when Mr. Sturt defends you. Maybe you should do your own thing, David. Maybe you should do it yourself. Genuinely, it actually does leave me speechless because I'm like, I don't know what I'm supposed to say here. It's cute. Yeah, because it's like, it's, yeah. Another cute thing that she did was. Feels like Peppa Pig standing up for like. Yeah. I'm like, oh, okay. This is awkward. I was talking to her. What I have queued up next isn't going to be. Bella was saying. The same level. Bella was saying, she was saying how, she was telling me about this trip her and Natalie were going to take. Yeah. And in November, and I was just kind of like, aw. She's actually taking that trip though, I think. I am. That is like, I've been talking. Oh, no, not the way Bella was saying it. I mean, it won't be the way that Bella does, like thinks it's going to be. Like the way that she approached, even when we go on these trips and I bring her along for like your vlog trips, she definitely like, her approach is very much like trip vacation. Yeah. And I'm like, no, no, no. Like this is a work trip. Like we are working. There are things that we have to do each day. We're not just like going around to the beach and shopping and doing whatever. Yeah. God damn them. And it's so funny in the morning, she'll be like, okay, what's on the itinerary today? And I do make an itinerary every day for our trips, but do we ever stick to the itinerary? Absolutely fucking not. And I anticipate that. Like I book everything just in case. And then if we do it, we do it. If we don't, we don't. And then she'll get like really bummed. She's like, we didn't go to the market. I'm like, yeah, no one wanted to go to the fucking market, you know? But whatever. Yeah. I just looked up. There was a market that we skipped. Thank God we skipped it. But it was, you get to go and like curse your enemies. Yeah. I thought that was fucking terrifying. It's a very popular thing in Hong Kong. It's called villain, villain hitting. Villain hitting. Yeah, that's what it is. And they just like, I don't know exactly what they do, but it's, it's kind of like voodoo, voodoo-y, where they, whoever you want to like cast a curse on or, or I guess it's like diminishing negative energy too. They also refer to it as like petty curses. So I don't know. Yeah. I guess they're like little small curses. Like maybe like you'll get like coffee spilled on you if I curse you or something. Right. Yeah. I think I always get that. I was like, I, yeah, I don't like any of that stuff. Yeah. It's kind of bad karma. The voodoo, any of that, even getting our. I saw a really, I saw a really funny TikTok that I thought you would relate to today. It's called customer tennis. What's that? It's when like a billionaire pays money to play with professionals. And I guess it just happened where like some billionaire was out there playing for like an hour. What? What do you mean just happened? What are you talking about? I just saw it on a podcast where like some billionaire paid money to be in like a professional tennis match. Oh, well that's like, so he just paid professionals to like come by his private tennis. No, no. Like he was in a match. Like you're saying like he was at Wimbledon. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if it was Wimbledon, but you can't do that. You can't buy yourself into an open. You mean like he had him come over? No, no, no. He played in a tournament with professionals, but like clearly couldn't play as well. Oh, but it must've been like a custom tournament. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, that's, that's all of LA. Yeah. All of LA. I just thought that was a funny term. Customer tennis. Customer tennis. Yeah. I guess it's customer paddle here. No, no, no. It's a good business to be in. I just looked it up and Hong Kong ranks number one in the world for the number of skyscrapers that they have over 500 feet. Oh wow. So they have, Hong Kong has 75% more skyscrapers than New York. What? Oh wow. Yeah. Oh yeah. I guess it is fucking kind of freaky. And the skyscrapers are like random and they're like on hillside sometimes. Yeah. The bars were interesting. That was cool. The bars? Yeah. Cause they're all like kind of like outside facing. Well, it's, it's imagine a hill and imagine three streets and then you can just walk up the hill to another street of bars, walk up the hill to another street of bars. Like there's no cars. Yeah. The nightlife is really cool and also really lame at the same time. It was like really cool. Cause it was like just full of people. Yeah. But it was also really weird. Cause it was just like not the right vibe. Like the best club we went into was like all guys and like, yeah. Which I know is like, it's, it's, I, I, I don't think anybody has fun with all guys. I don't even think girls like being at a club. No. Yeah. With all guys. Yeah. I think, which is so strange. It seemed like it was like all guys on the street too. It was very, it was very, it was very. I couldn't believe how much you got recognized. That was crazy. It was crazy. Well, there's a lot of America. There's a lot of like college kids. It was very collegey. I don't know. A lot of the people. It was giving spring break. Oh wait, that was, wait, what'd you say? That whole street. Oh yeah. One thing that was really funny. I don't know if you heard this part, but we went into this like little club, whatever. It was not big. Yeah. The first one we went into. Yeah. Underground one. And we were having a good time and everybody was really nice. Yeah. This guy came over to me. He's like, he's dying laughing. He's like, he's like, Jason, you have no idea. Do you have no idea how funny this is? And I'm like, what, what, what, what? And he's like, he's like, my friend, my friend Raja, he wants his dream is to be a party promoter. He goes, he goes, he goes, and tonight. He goes, it's his first time. First time trying to be a party promoter. And I was like, oh, oh, oh. And he's like, and he begged all of us. He begged all of us to come out tonight. And only, only like seven or eight of us come. He's like, but on this night, David Dobrik walk into the club. That's really funny. And it was such a hole in the wall, like literal basement of some building that we went into. I mean, I feel like you probably set him up for like. The next six months. Yeah. Cause he'll be able to like eat, like that'll be his meal ticket. He'd be like, you know, you got David Dobrik to come to his fucking party in Hong Kong. It's his new profile photo. That's really funny. Somehow. That's so funny. That's really funny. So good luck, Raja. Yeah. Good luck, Raja. Thank you for having us at your event.
