David and Natalie reunite after a heated conflict over their weekend plans and a fight at the Paramount premiere, where David blames Natalie for mishandling key filming moments. He expresses frustration over being excluded from creative decisions, particularly when Natalie takes over the camera during a chaotic Steve-O scene, leading to missed key frames. The duo’s dynamic is further explored through their trip to the Hamptons, where Natalie’s refusal to attend, despite it being her idea, sparks tension and ultimately leads David to organize a private jet trip to assert his presence. The conversation blends personal conflict with humor, as David reflects on their recurring arguments, which he sees as games without real emotional stakes. He also shares insights into his work habits, noting how distractions like TikTok interfere with productivity. The episode culminates in a lively discussion about David’s upcoming birthday, with ideas for a unique celebration including a casino, glam bot, champagne moments, and a solo world-trip vlog. Throughout, the tone remains playful and self-aware, highlighting their chaotic yet deeply connected creative lives. The narrative underscores a longing for balance—between conflict and connection, work and fun, control and spontaneity—while celebrating their signature blend of humor, authenticity, and shared chaos.
what's up guys we're back to views we are back with another pod jason and natalie are on this

fighting yes that's right oh so how did you enjoy your paid time off my paid time off my saturday
and sunday to myself friday too are you mad at him still um no i'm not mad i'm just first of all
there wasn't even anything to be mad about she just genuinely was just like
she just like left i just gave up i just said fuck you and fuck this yeah i don't even i think
she's just really tired but i don't know why i wasn't tired brother and i don't know why she
let it spill over until everybody was like okay so we went to we also went to the hamptons yeah
right okay so let me backtrack a little we got into a fight at the paramount premiere you get
to like curate this i got this now don't worry you just sit there let me say it exactly how i
we went to the paramount premiere obviously natalie was being bitchy the whole time
i was like whatever really can you not do
that because people actually think people take your word for it and i people literally think
that i'm some fucking crazy bitch because of the shit you say about me and i'm like i'm like so
all right go you you say you say you say okay we go to do we go to the paramount jackass premiere
to do to do work you know we just flew fucking 14 hours back to do this thing obviously everybody's
tired whatever but we have a job to do okay great everybody's on the same page about that
everyone's happy we're in our little black tie outfits whatever the job ends up taking like six
hours or whatever and i am doing my damn best david has a videographer there but guess who he
hands the camera to natalie to film his fucking tiktok well okay because my phone or phone because
my videographer okay it's filming the vlog so i take it and i have gotten my ass chewed out so
many times for me too improv of course even if you film it remotely correct you're going to get
destroyed by david yes because he nobody he is god tier guys he is god tier and nobody is like
him okay i like you i like you no nobody has a vision like him telling the story with the same
accuracy i would david's abs are on right now guys you can't see it but they're fucking got an
eight pack and he's taking a protein shake steve-o is putting a fucking fish hook through his lip
okay we all run into steve-o's room yeah in like 30 seconds the man david is shoving a fish hook
into his face and i have to fucking film this thing and it's there's like 30 people in there
it's chaos i'm stressed but i'm trying to focus and do it i thought i did a pretty good job and i
in the moment he yells at me after the fact for the exact thing that i thought i actually did a
decent job on in the moment i tried to get as close to steve-o's face to get the money shot
right the hook is about to burst through the fucking lip yeah and i'm in there trying to get
this fucking shot or whatever i think that i have fucking nailed this okay paramount's gonna be happy
david's gonna be happy we're gonna get out i'm gonna go to bed finally no we're walking out of
paramount lot he's watching the video he's like you fucking moron you fucking missed it i said i
said how can you possibly film it like this
film it like you'd want to see it through your eyes and she just missed the hook missed the
whole she was five feet away from somebody wants to be a judge they can go to your instagram right
now we zoomed in on the hook you zoomed in oh so she she was too far away you won't be able to see
i was too far yeah yeah if we showed it to you raw it just looked like i'm playing with steve-o's
mouth that's not true in the in the shot that it's raw is it you and steve-o or is it a shot
of steve-o that's me and steve-o because he will if so in the moment i'm also thinking about this
too because sometimes he wants both people in the shot sometimes most times you don't want just the
one person you're like keep us both in so i don't have to pan so i'm trying not to pan i'm like
i've thought about that situation since then yeah and um yeah i shouldn't hand off things to film
and and i and i left that night i was like i i'm like i hate it i have to film everything i have
to like if there is something exciting going on i've i'm always want to be the one filming it
that's just because i'm also just so happen to be editing it and it's
really hard it's really easy to film when you're editing it because you know where you're cutting
as you're filming yeah so you're like i got this now time to move on and then if like if you watch
someone else if someone else films for you and then you watch it back it's like they edited it
wrong it's really hard to explain now that makes sense so like because not the way you wanted it
yeah yeah so like yeah i i do have to and i've known that from the vlog every time anything
happens in the vlog cameras my hand but then i handed it off to nat god for bed but the thing
is with your stuff too is that there's never a plan right no one ever knows what the is going on
everything is god bless you captured completely raw completely organically okay yeah so i have
no idea what i don't know who's doing what when i'm just trying my best to just all right whatever
and then we we're leaving paramount and you know doing my typical like this isn't filmed right
whatever and then natalie's like i'm this i'm done and then and then scan turns on the
camera he didn't get the beginning part and it's just me going good riddance and it's her walking
oh really through the gates of paramount through the gates of paramount starving you left paramount
you didn't right i left i called i called well she called an uber and then i went to get my car
and i'm like we should go get her so i've looped around to get her in front of the paramount gates
and she just ignored us the entire time as she waited for her that's the worst
yeah and i looked like i looked like a like a jealous boyfriend or something because i was like
just get in the car yeah yeah and security's staring at me they're like what the fuck is going
on yeah are they
dating yeah just get in the fucking car it's fine i would i would pay money if like one of
our friends was out there but like a once removed friend like i would love for like eric to see that
oh that's my favorite like oh david and nat are fighting yeah he would get it right away because
it's it's about content when that when nat and i fight like it's always like to scan yeah scan
said the funniest thing in the car what do you say like we were this is the first day we were
ever filming together it's not the funniest thing but he says something really funny he uh
we were filming and i told natalie they'll get like more laptops than she was originally going
to get so we can give away more laptops whatever yeah and i was snarky about it whatever and she
goes suck my fucking dick and she slams the door at uh at best buy and scan goes holy shit
does she has like has she ever crashed out like that before sorry sorry sorry sorry she slams the
door he doesn't say anything and then we're at jimmy john's like getting a sub before she comes
back with the laptops and then he like builds up the courage to ask me like has she ever crashed
out like that before and i'm telling you dead ass i had no idea what he was talking about
i was like what do you mean and then i was like oh my god just now when she left i was like oh
that's like absolutely nothing and then i went in the car and i told john because john also
witnessed natalie leaving john had the same reaction i was like when did she crash out what
happened because like it was it was not and now stan is used to it that we fight about every four
days anyway this went on longer and i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm
like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like
natalie decided to not go to the hamptons even though it was her idea to go to the hamptons my
trip that i planned why did you not go to the hamptons i thought it was working out and then i
called her you know he's a fucking idiot oh you have to call because i just i honestly genuinely
i just needed a break like i needed to not look at his fucking face for like a couple days which
is so which is so crazy because like the ham okay and not only the best part about the hamptons is
last sec i was like i don't know if i want to go but then i was like i really should go and have
the best time because natalie's not going oh and rub it in her face yes and i called this motherfucker
was posting it up on his whole friends this weekend every amazing thing that he was doing
so i called earlier and i was like dude no natalie boy strip hampton yeah it's really hard to convince
him but i finally got him to go oh my god when i saw that motherfucker on the plane i was like
these and then not only that but john's friend missed his flight so he had to book a private jet
so he called us and he was like and he was like private jet to hamptons i was like what private
jetting all the way to new york no way fuck yes let's do it so i i did you know i'm a nice guy so
natalie or i texted natalie and i was like hey private jet was that you texting me or your sister
it was me yeah i was texting natalie and i was like i was like hey there's a private jet if you
want to go to the hamptons and she goes it's bella natalie's sleeping and i'm like just wake her up i
feel like she'd like the private jet and she's like i don't think she'd care but that was natalie
talking um yeah anyway so then my sister was sitting next to me that she's like oh that was
good and then we went yeah then we landed in the hamptons
hamptons and john's friend is like uber wealthy so we stayed at his house in a private chef what
kind of house beach on the beach uh no just like a lot of land yeah like yard as big as you could
see and then like tennis court at the end of the pool oh my god um where'd you land so this is what
i this is what may may make me never go back to the hamptons yeah is we landed in the hamptons
yep because it's a private jet so you can you don't have to land at jfk or newark or whatever
but the ride in in the car from the airport to the house was like two hours and 10 minutes with
traffic with traffic yeah because it's just one which is insane and if i landed at jfk
which i was originally going to do the ride in is three hours and 15 minutes
it's like i don't care what's going on in the hamptons that's like fucking crazy
that's crazy pretty rarefied area though yeah and then the ride back to jfk was like two hours but
yeah it was it's very it's like it's like driving into vernon hills but everyone's trying to get to
vernon hills yeah and like it's one road it's one road and it's the
busiest fucking road you'll ever be on it's you're going yeah and then all the parties this was this
was even crazier to me like we'd go to the festival yeah and then the after party would be 55 minutes
away and so you'd be in the car for literally an hour 55 minutes away but four miles yes
right it was wild so you do that and then you and then you have to go back another hour the other
way um one thing about dave though i will say like he's a tyrant but he does make up quicker than
anyone i've ever met but that doesn't hold a grudge but for sure but that's the frustrating
part because he just like he'll just get up and forget about it but like you just really upset me
well because i don't actually fight for any reason other than just to like yeah and that's
fucked up just just for sport like i don't it's it's a game to you i don't yeah i don't do it
because it like it means anything to me like i don't like at the end of the day you not getting
the hook in steve was mouth it's fine i completely forgot about it once
once we took four steps it wasn't away from that conversation obviously no i understand
but i i just i and i was also surprised i was thinking to myself actually this weekend i was
like why does she do that like why does i was like she needs to go to like why do you think
she does she needs to go to anger management classes it's so funny because everybody around
me is like he needs help like you know i could see that but like you know you know how it's so
funny people in the hamptons were like where's that oh my god the amount of texts i got where
are you i'm with david we're having the best time i'm like god damn it shut up dude what was well
give me an example of the best time like give me a moment that was like awesome i don't know it was
just like everybody was just it felt like uh i i don't know the club was really fun okay and like
our our friend basically runs the festival yeah so like gave us gave us the full tour of the whole
festival that's fun so like we went to go see we started i said hi i'm david i'm david i'm david i'm
hi to kai go before his sets saw the chain smoker we stayed at the uh alex from the chain smoker
stayed at the same house we did yeah so like we were with him before his show fun and then after
which is really nice and then we got to go see like everyone that was there like every one of
our friends that like we've ever seen was all there we could like easily walk around the festival
because our friend was running it so it's just like a really fun experience i'll tell you what's
funny is like he does you started the podcast saying that like you know he makes you look bad
and sometimes when you text me
and you're like so nice i swear to god for like years i've been like like my brain is warped from
him because natal text can be so sweet and i'll be like oh my god she's so nice like she's being
so nice no no no not super chill like she's really cool and shit i just like uh i would i'd love for
you to elaborate everyone like everyone that kept asking me where's that i was like oh we got in a
fight she was wrong same old same old everyone texted me and i was one being nice
i was just like oh i was really tired i didn't want to come this weekend i don't want to involve
them in our fucking bullshit really yeah yeah no i told one person i was like yeah we were in a fight
and then they were like so where is nat and i was like no i actually that's actually what
happened we just got in a fight and she's not coming isn't she the one that wanted to come
this is her trip that she's been planning for weeks this is her trip that i've been like i
don't know if i should be going to the hamptons and all of a sudden boycotting made it my big thing
what did you do if you had you had a whole weekend off what did you do i actually had
an amazing time it's funny i and i have some thoughts for you david after this but friday
was probably like one of our most productive work days who's we brooke and i oh and we like
we were on we were both working obviously from home but like we were on a zoom for like three
and a half hours yeah and she was just like this is the
probably the most productive meeting like we've ever had and i was like yeah it's because david's
not sitting here like laying on the couch or fucking eating something or watching tiktoks at
level 80 volume that is so funny you do have a tendency to um you're just very distracted i mean
it's so bizarre i do that it's so bizarre it's so bizarre what's bizarre that like i lay on the
couch and i watch tiktoks while they're working it's so weird that i do that and i can't stop
myself because i want to be around people right but i know it's the work day and they're busy
it's crazy
i don't know where i don't want to like watch tiktoks alone
but you grab john and watch tiktoks john's working too
john's not working
it is crazy though like if if the roles were reversed i would have such an immense like
level of guilt if i was sitting on the couch while everyone around me was like working really hard
and i'm just like watching tiktoks well i work at different times no i i don't that's not the
point i don't work they're working from nine to five and that's their time to work so you should
stop them like let me point this out to you let's take somebody like zach king let's take somebody
like eric let's take any creator right that's like do you think fucking zach king walks into
his employees and is like hey what the fuck are you doing oh hey what's what's for lunch hey where's
the fucking sandwich do you think he just disrupts you're you're fucking yourself no it's your own
business it's your business yeah but it's a catch-22 right how so like zach king is where he is because
he's out there and he's like i'm not gonna do it i'm not gonna do it i'm not gonna do it i'm not gonna
yeah and i am exactly where i am because of exactly how i operated no but that's not true
every like if i was any more business oriented yeah i don't think the vlogs would have ever gotten
made the way they did yeah but you're not in that time anymore you're in a different time now you're
in a more oh yeah but i just can't pivot you know i'm frozen in time yeah i know you are but you
should you can you can pivot you can grow up and and let brooke work let that work who am i gonna
any number of the fucking 80 pickleball players that are here all day go out and chat i want to
hang out with brooke yeah i want to hang out with brooke's pretty great i don't even think that he
needs to pivot that much i think that he just needs other people to allow other people to like
have some separation myself and so that other people can grow and flourish for him on his
behalf but it's tough because if you leave how do i micromanage you don't manage anything that's
you think that you are but you're you're such a oh i'm
a contradiction because you don't like any of that what's contradiction mean like a blessing
i'm kidding no contradiction like you're the first guy to be like i don't give a fuck about that
meeting i don't care about i want to have fun i'm here to have fun yeah wait so why am i a
contradiction because you also want to make money and be successful yeah yeah well i just want you
to lock in there i know but it's really hard for me sometimes no i understand listen whatever if
you need your space that was when i first became manager one of my like my essential
rules was that i wanted to have one day a week that was a work from home day where i would not
be coming to david's house i would just be sitting at home working on my things yeah but then you
probably try that a couple days you're like you know what no i miss the guy no no i just told you
she had a great friday i'm having a tough i'm having a tough debate today which is actually
work-related what's happening well we have to finish editing the vlog okay but also i can go
but i also have to do this podcast with you guys 27 minute pod sorry guys i mean vlog's important
vlog drives the pod so i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it
i'm down no no no that's actually not what the debate is the difficulty is i've booked
tickets to supergirl oh my god at 5 30 brother do you think zach king is going to fucking supergirl
at 2 p.m no what's with you i love that king no i met him once and he was like success he's like
he's like really together dude he's really together he's he's got all those dudes are
really put together like you're mr b second darman's like darman eric ghost did i tell you
back at can like i was talking to him no did he prank you yeah he was hiding inside my room
no no no no eric's another big creator and i was talking about can and i was like telling him how
much fun can is yeah and he's like teach me teach me like how to have fun here sure and i was like
and i was like oh that's really interesting because i guess we look at can differently
like he looks at it as meetings and i look at it as like going out with people yeah um and this and
i couldn't teach him how to have fun and i was like oh that's really interesting because i guess
because like his strength is he's probably really i told him i was like you would you're probably
doing so much better than me here yeah because you're good at this like the daytime stuff like
you you can crush these meetings like i said on that last podcast i was like natalie should go
to can without me next year yeah so she can lock in um but i like just doing like the nighttime
stuff and hanging out with everyone like i feel like that is where i thrive did you take eric
around with you no i only saw him for a little bit and then he we like i was like let's get a
go home sounds like because he had panels at like eight in the morning so i totally get it
no but like um so wait what are you dealing with your you said you're dealing with yeah i just
don't know if i should go finish this vlog oh or watch supergirl or watch supergirl when's the last
time he posted 13 days ago really yeah that long ago yeah oh yeah you better not go to supergirl
really well it's nice like i it's a james gunn movie and sometimes when i see james gunn movie
i get excited and then i come back and i'm like oh my god i'm so excited i'm so excited
let's re-edit this but you went and saw toy story and there was no vlog that came out of it
yeah but i was brainstorming actually you said toy story made you inspired can i just say
actually i was editing the vlog yesterday and i pulled the song from toy story and it fixed a lot
of our problems oh yeah at the beginning i was like we need we need a toy story song here in
the beginning i saw toy story and you did for the pod uh yeah for the pod wait did you go see with
your kids no i went with um naveen and her little sister oh okay okay okay
Yeah, yeah.
And I know everybody loves it.
I do.
Yeah, I did know that.
Sorry, I went with my sister, my sister-in-law.
My six-year-old sister-in-law.
Charlie Zant.
Charlie Zant.
Okay, wait.
So what was the verdict?
As a Toy Story hater.
I mean.
You, you are.
It was good.
It was good.
I was like, I mean, I just, I was just like, it's so manipulative, that movie.
Manipulative?
Yeah, it's like, oh, we gotta, we gotta play more.
Don't you see?
Why are you doing a Mickey Mouse voice, dude?
Because I'm trying to do that Jesse voice.
Okay, why, why is that manipulative?
It's just.
And it's actually.
I just feel like it's manipulative.
It's just like, it's for, it's like, I get it.
It's a great story.
It's a good story.
Wait, Jay, but it's, but that wasn't really the point of it at all.
It was very much like, to find balance.
It was like, you can do tech, and you can also play.
Like, it was actually both.
It wasn't like annoying down your throat, like, go play with your dolls.
If I was a child, yeah, I would like it.
But I'm not a child.
So that, I just, I just don't like those.
I'm just not into those.
I don't like that kind of movies.
Although, I did fucking die laughing at the Minions preview.
Did you happen to see it?
The Minions preview?
Yeah, it's like the giant with the cyclops.
Did they give you that preview when you went?
We missed the fucking preview.
Ah, man.
Bro, I was howling.
It is the funniest, like, that seemed really funny.
I really want to see Minions.
I threw a fit, because we got to Toy Story.
And we were, remember, we were pulling up late?
Yes.
And I was like, if the movie started, we're walking out of this fucking theater.
We heard you say Minions.
Oh, yeah.
And then we walked in, movie was started, and I was like, let's go.
Let's go.
And then everyone was like, just shut the fuck up and watch the movie.
It's like, fine.
How did the movie open?
Did it open with the song, You Got a Friend in Me?
I don't remember.
Oh, fuck.
It was like a girl under a tree or something.
Oh.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
I don't think it was You Got a Friend in Me.
It was Jesse's person.
Damn it.
I think it was Rihanna doing You Got a Friend in Me, and it was, like, kicked up a little bit.
Really?
No.
Took all my trigger words.
I think it was Iron Man singing You Got a Friend in Me.
Okay.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
No, I haven't seen that.
I'm not.
This is a hot take.
I'm not a big Minion guy.
I think it's so funny when they're like.
That makes me laugh every time.
No, their conversations are really funny.
There's this girl on TikTok that does, like, she talks like a Minion.
Yeah.
And it's really good.
She'll, like, have, like, she just did a Minion running into Trump at the bar.
So, it's Trump doing it.
This guy, this guy, this guy doing a Trump impersonation, like, trying to hit on this Minion.
And this Minion's like, I'm just waiting for my friends or whatever, whatever.
Yeah, no, I do.
I do like that.
I just, I think I watched them too late.
This is so funny.
It's like a cyclops.
This is supposed to be the best Minions movie of the entire franchise.
What do you mean?
Who said that?
The critics.
Wait, really?
Yeah, yeah.
It's, like, a thing.
Yeah.
It comes out this week.
Can you, I just, I can't imagine Steve Carell.
Like, how did he just, like.
Stumble on that.
Yeah.
He's got to feel so good.
Yeah.
Well, he was the greatest comedic actor at that moment.
And then he got franchises and movies.
I mean, he is that good.
But to get the Minions.
I always think it's so crazy when a big actor gets a franchise role in an animated movie.
Like, Owen Wilson in Cars.
Right.
Blows my fucking mind.
Like, I never knew that that was him.
Yeah.
Up until, like, two years ago.
I was like, oh, yeah, that's the car from Cars.
Yeah.
Fleming McQueen.
And then Owen Wilson is over here doing Wedding Crashers.
But the fact that he's.
The fact that he does both.
Come on.
What a fucking life, no?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know why I didn't think that.
I didn't know that that was, like, that.
Isn't that about, like, international box office draw?
No, I get why people do it.
Yeah.
I just, like, I never.
Like, those names get you money in different countries.
The only one I ever put together was, like, Eddie Murphy in Donkey.
Sure.
Or, like, Mike Myers in Shrek.
That was, like, the.
But, like, the new ones.
Like, even Toy Story, Tom Hanks.
Was.
Is he Tom Hanks?
Yeah.
Who's Buzz Lightyear?
Tom Hanks.
Tim Allen.
Tim Allen.
Tim Allen.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah, I noticed a preview for Ice Age.
And it was, like, all these names from the past that are still in Ice Age.
And I was, like, damn, they must be stoked.
That's what I'm saying.
It's, like, Queen Latifah, John Leguizamo.
I mean, you know.
Yeah, these people are just raking it in.
Yeah.
But are they?
Yeah, from those movies.
You think?
For sure.
Jay, if you get 50 cents from Drake and Josh once every two months, could you imagine how
much a lead gets from Ice Age?
It's got to be crazy.
It's got to be insane.
I don't think it's life-changing money, right?
How much did you make this year from Drake and Josh, would you say?
Probably, like, $400.
That's fucking insane.
It's pretty insane.
I got to check for, like, 60 bucks every three months or something.
You made $400 from Drake and Josh this year.
I think I make more than Josh.
Yes, you do.
Yeah.
Because Josh doesn't have residuals and stuff.
He told me that once.
No, no, no.
I don't want to.
Yeah.
No, I think that's true.
Yeah.
Josh doesn't make anything from those.
Yeah.
You were on an episode for about 10 seconds.
10 seconds.
Yep.
And they still cut you a check.
Yeah.
And when you were, like, when you put Josh in the vlogs, my checks went crazy.
The checks went from, like, $7 a month to, like, $300 a month.
Wow.
Because people were going and, like, playing that episode.
They were paying.
Oh.
They were paying to see that episode.
They would buy it so you would see, like, how much you made from iTunes download.
Oh.
So people were, like, downloading that episode to be like, is that really?
Jason, David's friend in the fucking vlogs.
Wow.
Isn't that weird?
Wow.
That's cool.
That's a lot of money from Drake and Josh.
That's really.
I thought I showed up that day.
That's really an incredible.
Yeah.
It's pretty fun.
It's really an incredible feat there that you pulled off.
Speaking of cartoons, I recorded your mom.
What?
On Saturday.
And right here, I was sitting here with your mom.
She was so funny.
My mom, you got my mom to do a voice of cartoon?
Yeah.
She's in episode two, the Croatia episode.
Wait.
Can you put a second of it in here right now?
Yeah.
I'll put a second in right now.
All right.
Well, I didn't get to hear it.
But that sounds awesome.
I can play it for you.
Really?
Yeah.
Was she hard to work with?
No.
She was like, she was like, she's like, Jason, I can't, I can't do this.
I don't know.
And I, and then, and I was like, you asked me, like, you asked me to do this.
That's really funny.
She's like, oh, right.
I did.
Understand it.
But maybe.
Record.
But maybe.
So the Falcon talks.
Of course, the Falcon talks.
I am not lost.
I want that on the record.
I mean, exactly.
Exactly where I was the entire time.
Why is she yelling?
Break.
Done.
Did you hear her go?
Oh, shit.
She would do that after every take and think it wasn't good.
Wait, why was she, why was she yelling?
Did you tell her to yell?
I told her to be big.
Oh.
Interesting.
And we have, we have other takes where she's not so big.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Because I feel like her voice will play better when it's not that, when it's not that loud.
You think?
Yes.
It's like a foreign voice.
I feel like it's like very funny when it's just like.
My experience in cartoons is like, they always want you to be.
As big as possible.
Not Owen Wilson in Cars.
Oh, wow.
He talks like this.
Gee.
You're right, Dave.
Dial it back a little bit.
Okay.
Well, congratulations to Christina Dobrik for a big role.
How many, how much money is she going to get paid for that?
She's getting a, she's getting a gift card to Olive Garden.
That will be there.
Is that what I'm getting?
Whatever you're saying.
And Natalie's going to be making an appearance in episode one.
Really?
We're very excited.
John.
What's Natalie playing?
Taylor.
Lucifer?
Alex.
Brooke.
Brooke.
Eric.
Eric?
Yeah.
Wow.
Hague.
Really?
I'm going deep in the list of your friends.
Is Eric actually in it?
No.
Oh, that's really funny.
No, we don't have that many parts.
Oh, damn it.
I think Tay would be a good voice, though.
Tay would be the best.
She's got a good voice.
She's got like a, I think maybe like a chipmunk or something.
I don't mean that in a mean way.
Yeah.
But like a, like a bunny or a mouse.
Bunny or a mouse.
Yeah, that is kind of Tay Bikes.
My birthday's coming up.
Are you excited?
What?
Okay.
Why'd I pivot?
I mean, that's like a crazy, yeah.
It's a good topic.
No, I know.
Like, why did I make it all about myself?
No, no, you always do that.
I'm not surprised by that.
But it's just like, your birthday's in like a month.
No, it's.
Basically.
It's in like 23 days.
Yeah.
I'm just kind of nervous we don't have like anything planned.
Yeah.
That's it?
You have stuff planned?
Are you okay?
I'm working on it, you know.
Did you get Fall Out Boy to perform?
No.
No?
Unfortunately, I've not been able to pull that off.
Fuck, dude.
That's the big one.
That's the big one.
I want that so bad.
Yeah, that would be amazing.
Everybody likes Fall Out Boy.
I know.
It's like such an easy one to like.
It's a big one.
It's like.
What about Blink?
Yeah, that's great too.
Any of those bands are really good like backyard.
Like any, a backyard performance is really good.
Wyatt is stunned at the people that you've had in your backyard.
Like I told him really casually that I was, I saw Lizzo last night and he was like, what?
He's like, where'd you see Lizzo?
I was like, she was at David's house performing.
No, I mean, it is crazy.
Like the list is.
50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Tyga, J Balvin, Lizzo.
All American.
All American Rejects.
Who else?
Sexy Red.
Sexy Red.
Sexy Red.
I mean, it's a pretty crazy list.
Yeah.
Of people in the Ty Dolla $ign.
DJ Rent Free.
DJ Rent Free.
Dylan Francis.
Dylan Francis.
I mean, it's pretty crazy.
And that's not like people coming.
That's like people performing, which I find like pretty, pretty crazy.
Yeah.
In the backyard.
Why are you so dead set on Fall Out Boy?
Because this is like the fifth year in a row where you've been like, Fall Out Boy, Fall
Out Boy, Fall Out Boy.
Because I used to listen to their music when I was a kid, when I would have Nerf gun fights.
Oh, that'd be so sick.
While they played, you bring out a bunch of Nerf guns.
Well, it's not only, yes, that is really cool.
And what we would do is we'd play, we'd play like two Fall Out Boy tracks.
Okay.
And we'd do, well, actually we'd also play Panic at the Disco.
We'd kind of mix.
Okay.
And we'd put strobe lights around the house.
We only had two, obviously.
'cause we got 'em from Spencer's, whatever.
but you only need to
because our houses were small
so you put one upstairs and downstairs
and when you're running with a Nerf gun
and there's strobe lights
it's like you're skipping through time
it's like the Matrix
and when you're listening to a Fall Out Boy track
or Panic it really is like
fucking shit is going down
it feels like
dance dance
we're falling apart
and it's fucking crazy
oh yeah I'm over here
Alex I'm up here cover me
dance dance
my favorite was when we did
this is when we were a little older
we bought airsoft guns
and we blacked out the entire house
turned off all the appliances
and I played the John Wick soundtrack
throughout the house
through all the speakers
what's that like opera?
I play music like this throughout the house
like stuff from Bourne or John Wick
that's cool
and lights off
it's so fucking dark
it's terrifying
and we're grown-ups now right
so we're playing with airsoft guns
it's really good
really good
and we have silencers on our guns
and the way we start is
because it'd be a disadvantage
if you knew where the person started
right
so we first we meet in the driveway
it's pitch black
it's midnight
it's midnight
at my house
and in like in our hat
in my hat
I put a list of places
so I do living room
kitchen
upstairs living room
upstairs bedroom
upstairs John's room
downstairs blah blah blah
and I do doubles of each
and then each team
there's two teams
pick out of the hat
where we're spawning
so where we start
so the opposite team
doesn't know where we start
so there's a good chance
we're both in the same room
or there's a good chance
because if you knew
one person started upstairs
and one started downstairs
it'd just be a fight at the stairs
yeah
but now
it's every inch you move
you're like
are they upstairs with me?
are they downstairs with me?
and it's really
really fucking intense
but how do you get everybody in the house
and not know where everybody is?
you go hide
so like one team
you go hide
one team goes and hides
yeah and if you walk into the same room
as the other team
the other team has to be like
we're in the same room
and then
and then we have to restart
sorry that's what I forgot to mention
back to one
you are at different rooms
but you could be on the same floor
got it
so you're not
like it's really
your house is not that big though
no it's not
but like we used to do this with Nerf guns
but it's really
we're climbing through like windows and shit
yeah
and it's really fucking
how old were you?
this was two years ago
wait what do you mean?
this was here at this house
no in Vernon Hills
oh when we were doing Nerf guns?
yeah
no the
wait you did the airsoft thing here?
yes
oh
what?
yeah we bought airsoft guns here
oh you did it here?
yeah when I was like 26
oh
wait what are you talking about?
I thought this was a story from like
when you were like nine
no I played through the speakers of the house
I don't have speakers
like through the house
in my old house
I thought you just like had a speaker
no it's in every room
I thought you had a bluetooth
it's fucking really
no no no
this is like coming through the actual home
who'd you play with?
it was me, John, Alex, Ilya
oh my god
two on two
wow
yeah it's fucking incredible
did you cum in your pants after?
yeah
because it's so fun
you're drenched in sweat
yeah?
you're drenched in sweat
because these guns are like
they're shooting like real guns
yeah
right they're like making the sounds
it's no fucking joke
did they have as much fun as you did?
yes
that's good
but we never played again
no? just once?
for two reasons
one because it got so
intense that our guns broke
because we were like
diving on the floor and shit
okay
and two
it's too scary
it's
it really is
like when you're put into
like when you're put into that situation
and you're like in a different room
it's really scary
we're like
it's like
let's not do that again
it's not good
and like the shots
don't even hurt that much
yeah
but it's so terrifying
not knowing where the other person is
it's really not worth it
damn I don't know
it sounds like
it sounds really fun
it's
would you like to play with us?
sure
I'll do it
really
really
now would you be down?
now we should do it
I don't like that
okay
I don't like it either
but I feel like I have to see what
what scary is
oh it's
it's insane
you know what I mean?
it's not like we're filming it
no I know
with flashlights or anything
no
so it's like
it's dark Jay
and you're like
it feels like you broke into a house
and you have to eliminate somebody
you have to kill somebody
it's really fucking scary
what can you see
is there like light
coming in from the moon?
you'll see like
like a little red dot
on like
yeah
on your forehead
when you're getting fucking shot
no you'll see like
you'll see red dot
coming from like
something that's plugged in
that like we can't unplug
like the fire
the smoke detector or something
yeah
and then you'll see like
yeah you'll get light
from some of the stars
or the moon
or the town
right like the city
will be shining in on you
that is the most kind of fun though
it's incredible
it really is
I highly recommend it
anyway that's why I want Fallout Boy
other than that
what are we planning for my birthday?
this is what I want to do
I want to like
kind of prep it
like I want to make sure
it's good for the vlog
so I want to get like
a hundred bottles of champagne
okay
and at the end of the night
I want to have like
a champagne moment
where like everyone like
champagnes everything
you know what I mean?
I always get nervous
someone's going to get a cork in the eye
I don't know
I don't know if it's
my problem with that
how is that not a thing?
like when people go party
all over the world
how does a champagne pop
not hit somebody in the eye?
I mean I'm sure it happens
yeah I'm sure it's happened
I always think about it
like it's never happened to people
no I
the problem is
with the champagne thing
is like
it's really hard to pop champagne
at the same time
oh yeah
like if you're not like
a linebacker
like if you're giving it to like
50 random people
it's really hard to like
hire some champagne poppers
oh that could be good
hire 50 champagne poppers
to stand behind
Fallout Boy
and then what I think
would be really cool
is the glam bot
did you get my note last night?
getting the glam bot
would be really cool
that's fun
and then like
incorporating that
like that's the thing
that you see like
on the red carpet
like Oscars
like what's the thing
like we have always
a really nice photo booth
and this year
Snapchat is sponsoring
our photo booth
so it's gonna be kick ass
but like
I want like
I want like a video component
and then like
you know like
I want things that could be
you want that guy here
with the long hair
yes
that's cool
like I think that's really cool
that would be sick
people would love that
I just DM'd him
he messaged me back
he's like
I'm on a walk with my family
I'll let you know
this sounds fun
which would be really cool
if we can get him
in the driveway
or wherever
you gonna get big celebs here?
I don't know
I don't know
this is a bigger
this is
this is like
this is the first time
for my birthday
that there's like
already that I know
that like
about 10 people
are flying out
which is pretty crazy
like
it's kind of scary
we gotta step it up here
yeah
like 10 of our friends
from around the world
are flying out for this one
which is like
insane
insane to me
so I'm like
this better
because it's the 30th
it's the 30th
yes
this is kind of the one
arguably this is
my final big birthday
until my 50th
do you have any
prospective girlfriends
flying out for this?
no
I don't like doing that
well I mean
or even if it's just a friend
who's a girl
that you might be interested in
no I'm saying like
I don't like being like
taken on my birthday night
oh you like to
walk around
he likes to explore the field
no it's not even
exploring the field
I just don't want to like
have to be checking in
on someone
yeah
like during my birthday
because I really am
like a lone wolf
on my birthday
you know what's tough
when it's your birthday
at your house
is it's like
sometimes
like
you'll walk in
you'll walk over places
and
you could feel that
people don't want to
waste your time
yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
and then I'll be like
no no no
I want to
like I've felt this
at other people's time
at other people's houses
when I'm there
for their birthday
and they come over
I'm like trying to
scoot them out
as quick as possible
I'm like
thanks for having me
go enjoy
but like
a lot of times
I'm like
no no no
can I just sit here
yeah
we talked about this
last time with John
remember
really?
yeah
why?
what's with John?
you're like
a damn amnesia patient
we did
four days ago
are you serious?
oh my god
what did he say?
did I tell you
Ilya and I
were on a private jet?
yeah today Dave
you told me that today
wait did I say this
at one of my
well we had a conversation
about this
it was a pretty good
conversation actually
about how you feel
awkward at parties
I feel awkward at parties
yes yes yes
how to get out of stuff
my favorite part of parties
I was just telling this
to Alex
yeah
is so
it's my bedroom
upstairs on the left
and my three
friends bedrooms
on the right
right
it's Ilya's
Alex's
John's
and I love
going to Alex's room
because no one
goes into that room ever
oh
and lighting up a cigarette
and smoking in there
really?
it's so fun
I do every party
do you take someone with you?
no I do it by myself
what?
yeah
Alex's room doesn't have
a balcony or anything though
no it's so
because the entire room
is up for grabs
for smoking cigarettes
the entire house
smoke anywhere
right
it's like who cares
the house is a mess
and like
the one room
that feels like
the most private
is Alex's
and it's so funny
because Alex always
Alex just told me
he's like
every party we have
I'm always like
who the fuck
is leaving
oh no way
there's cigarettes in here
I told him this like
literally the last week
and he's like
every party
I'm like
why are people coming
in here and smoking
but I would think
you would
if I was gonna go smoke
I would take someone with me
talk to them
I'd take like
I'd take like
somebody you know
that I love around here
Ilya
or you
it's like
Jason Nash
who?
Jason
this guy named Jason
he would love to do a smoke with you
in the middle of the party
I wasn't even saying that
I don't know
but yeah
you should come get me man
no cause there's plenty of people
that I like
of course
I love out there
yeah but why would you take someone
to have a smoke with
also you're inside
cause it's my moment
yeah but why wouldn't you have your moment
on your beautiful balcony
well there's
300 people on my balcony
during the parties
do you know what I mean
so go to the other balcony
I don't know
but I'd love it
I'm really really excited
for this one
you're so weird
you're smoking inside
by yourself
in the worst room in the house
well I think that's what's so cool
it's the only room
that's like
untouched by decorations, untouched by the glitz
and the glamour. It's just Alex.
And it's like really really fun
Do you have any ideas
Are you excited about this one
This is so funny he keeps asking you
I am like
What are you planning now
She started planning it like four months ago
And I feel like we haven't gotten anywhere
No I mean like all the details are figured out
The only thing that's missing is the artist
And like
I do
I did want to like figure out something more
Like different and unique to do
That'd be sick
When I move you move
Move bitch get out the way
Move Natalie
Get out the way
Wow Dave this one's just for you
Move Matt
Get out the way
Get out the way bitch
I got hoes
Named Natalie
In different areas
That's really funny
Wait Nat tell me what is it
No I wanted to talk
I don't know
Like I feel like it's a little bit
Like redundant right now
Because we're doing the same
Get well at Nash man
I like the redundancy
I like when it's the same setup
I think it's so cool
It's like oh I'm back
Like it's always the casino on the pickleball court
Casino is a fucking hit
Because everyone wants to just sit around
And do nothing at a party
And casino is like the perfect excuse
To be sitting around
People want to rage
No I'm not sorry
I'm not saying everyone
But I'm saying a lot of people
Want something to do with their hands
Yes
And the casino is the best
Casino is the best
You could be at the casino by yourself
And you'll be sitting next to people
And it's completely acceptable
And it's like so fun
So you don't have to be like
Fucking drinking
And dancing on the dance floor
That's what I really like
About the parties here
I feel like there's something
For everyone
Will there be a casino this time
Yes
Yeah yeah
Oh wow
Yeah every year
I can't
I feel like we've never
Not had a casino
Really
What yeah
Wow yeah no I love it
So casino, glam bot
And an artist
That's it
I want glam bot
Yeah yeah yeah
But I also want
Like I want like
A little champagne moment
Like maybe even in a room
Or like
I just want like
Plan things throughout the night
That like we could
Like we could film
Maybe Natalie could like
Plan little
Little moments with like
People wishing you
Happy birthday
Privately like up in the
In the bedroom
Oh that's kind of fun
Yeah
Like how cool would it be
If it was like
Jamie Fox
Is
Has like two minutes
Just to say happy birthday
I think we should just have
A videographer like
Dedicated to doing that yeah
Yeah happy birthday
That's really fun
Maybe that could be like
A part of the snap thing too
Or something
That's fun
But would that stuff
Make the video anyway
Yeah like we'd use
Like the three best ones
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Same with the glam bot
Like not all the glam bots
Are going to be in it
But like we'll montage
Like six together right
I just think
I don't know
I think just like having
I think a lot of the parties
The party montages
Can be very similar
Like one of my favorite
Party montages I've ever filmed
Was the Bangkok montage
Because we hired a monkey
Yeah
To come and like
Smoke a cigarette with us
Yeah yeah yeah
And that made it
So much more different
Or like the Seven Wonders
Montage
We drove a car
Into the pool
Yeah
And like
I love that type of stuff
Yeah
I don't know
What about some sort of
Light show
What
What about some sort of
Light show
I kind of like drone shows
Really
They're so
Lame
No they're not
The drone shows are good
When you don't tell anyone
To pay attention to them
When people find them
On their own
They're so cool
Like you can't be like
Everybody
You can't turn the music off
And be like
Drone show
You gotta just have it going
And be like
Is that
Guys guys guys
Drone show
But it's so expensive
For like such a
Pay off you know
Really
Yeah
Like yeah
What would it say
Happy birthday Dave
Wait what's expensive
Like over
Over 40 grand
Probably like around there
Yeah
Yeah that is really expensive
That's crazy
You can't work out
Like some kind of a collab
I'm talking to a company
Right now for that
But even still
Then it's like 25
Like you get half off
Or something
And it's like
I don't know
Dude drone show
Is pretty fucking cool
For what
Where do they take off though
They can
I don't even know
If they can do it here
To be honest
Yeah I mean
That'd be crazy
Drone shows are cool now
Like at the Paramount one
One was really cool
Yeah
You know how like
Jackass
The guy flies on
Johnny Knoxville
Flies on the rocket
Yep
So now drone shows
I feel like people
Have seen this a lot now
But like now they have
Like flares that shoot
Out of the drones
So it's not just
The light of the drone
Like now it looks like
It's almost like
A firework show
