The Easiest Job in Hollywood

what's up guys we're back to views the podcast where we give you some of the most on point advice amazing yeah yeah i want to help people today i wonder what we've done for society with this podcast taking it into the toilet have we probably have we resulted in saving lives have we resulted in deaths what have you no because like it's got to go one way or another butterfly effect right we've done something yes what have we done we've done something we but we could have possibly given somebody advice yeah whether it's like how to speak in a conversation or something that has snowballed into a life-changing thing for society maybe not society but maybe one person wow i wouldn't say society i think we've impacted society maybe not with the views podcast but i think in general like the things that we've accomplished no no i want to know about the views podcast oh the actual views podcast i mean i read the emails there's there's there's there's some impact but i'm saying like an impact that like no one could no one could even understand until like it's later like i always talk about this right like when we go to heaven i wish there was like a way you can type in statistics and like replay the earth and like i wish you'd go to like yeah heaven data center and be like can you show me what it would be like if i never went to target that day or if i was never born or if i died early and then you could like replay all of earth and see if there's any changes or if there's any changes in your friends lives or who they would marry who they would date where they would live yeah sliding doors yeah what that's a movie sliding doors what that's a movie no i got that sorry what's that movie what is that movie about it's a movie where benneth paltrow is like she chooses one thing in life this happens she chooses another thing in life this happens oh shit yeah and is it like a traveling in time movie uh no i mean i suppose if if yeah if she's making different decisions you're traveling through time why is it called sliding doors what's what's the part that's like fun about it i don't know i've never actually seen it okay this is the views podcast this is the kind of logic i've had i've had people come up to me i had someone come up to me a couple weeks ago and say like they watched the vlogs they watched them with their dad and their dad's gone now oh wow and you know that was kind of powerful and like wow it's like negative one well no it was like that was that was something they shared that feels like we're we killed somebody yeah a little bit okay okay okay so i guess i guess that makes sense that's really i like the other day killed them i like the yeah i used to watch with my dad and couldn't take it anymore i like what it's a when it's a good thing i take credit when it's a bad thing i i push it on you really yeah yeah dave did that it was dave's vlogs dave's vlogs well that's kind of that's that's that's what owning a business is like right i beat cancer watching david's vlogs oh i'll take that one jason we did that for you jason and dave brainstorming in the car did it again well i've had that i've had big cancer i was you know getting chemo for months and i watched the vlogs listen to the pod you ever like because obviously that means something obviously as content creators we get we hear that a lot like you got me through sure you ever seen like someone say that to you and then you see them with like another artist or something they're saying almost the same thing i've had that happen i think once and i was like oh my god this is almost fucking identical to what she told she told him about me so you're a fan of the chain smokers huh and me so the chain smokers got you through chemo or me who the fuck was it well maybe it was everybody no no but i i think that's what it is i think i think it's a lot of people but i also like i noticed that like when i meet certain celebrities like i panic like to adam sandler i'll be like you got me through my childhood right like is that true no but is it also true yes do you know i mean right like did i live on adam sandler movies in a way for sure that's like everyone did yeah but like you know yeah was i was i being bullied at school and then i got home and i i had an adam sandler sanctuary yeah with candles that i lit up and then that like brought me back to life like no but like i think i think that's just like how you say things how you phrase things i don't know i've always i'm always like a half glass full empty kind of guy right so like every time someone delivers me a compliment like that i'm always like really like did you really watch these that much when you were younger is that what you say you don't just go thank you so much i say thank you but i got i mean yeah you can tell that i'm always kind of like i'm always in disbelief yeah you take a compliment well or no um it depends i don't know i don't know i don't know it depends yeah it just depends who it's what if it what if what if jamie foxx says oh my god my uh my daughters they love your videos it's so cool that i'm here i think i saw him say that in the video what did you how did you receive that um well that was like a good one for that one was chris rock chris rock was like an ungettable guy sure and i think his daughter wanted to meet me at one point yeah so that's when he came by and he had no fucking idea what was going on really and he was just like what's going on like when was the last time you saw him i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know like what am i doing here and like that's like i believe that yeah so i could see that he's confused but at the same time he's not like being an asshole about being confused he's so happy yeah to like be there for his kid so i'm like oh this is so real like that's exciting is that cool when somebody comes to the house like that like through their kid yeah or however they get here yeah through their kid is is probably really interesting because they don't necessarily they wouldn't be here otherwise i always think that's so but you're but you're making their day you're making them so cool you're making them so happy so that's way cooler than if chris rock was like i want to meet david dobrik you're like doing him a solid i mean like jamie foxx is like probably like the biggest one that was like that i've seen multiple times and i don't know who's gotten in his ear about how cool i am but for some reason he really likes me yeah i mean he compared you to leonardo dicaprio yeah that was insane like the most insane comparison it was a crazy comparison yeah guy from wolf of wall street titanic dude when you got me when you got all charlie's friends to meet love island i got phone calls from every single parent and they never call me really ever i got texts yeah love island's huge jason nash you were the coolest person in the entire world love island love island love island's so genius like the fact that it's every day bro is like kind of an incredible kind of an incredible did you know that it's every day yeah charlie tells me all about it and they just like it's happening live i think they take wednesdays off yeah i think just like so fucking genius it's crazy yeah it's so smart and then they come out and they like launch into like real every day like it's just like the fact that they come out and they're famous or whatever that they are just like immediately launched into that is so the thing that stresses me out about love island is they all sleep next to each other in those beds and they're all like fucking each other at the same time okay are they fucking each other a hundred percent no way some of them talk about it yeah they'll like make jokes like i got i got it all last night you know like they say like there's jokes on the show oh really yeah oh holy fuck well i'm more so like i'm like a gross sleeper like i'm like i'm like sweaty like i don't want to like be in a twin bed with somebody i just think when you're like all horned up you don't really give a fuck i'm horned up 95 of the time i go to bed why do you say you you literally texted me like late last night i said you're a potato oh you did natalie snapped me at like 1 a.m wait what did you say to first did you say ew no i just said potato oh yeah she swiped him on a story of me she said potato and then he was like eating something and his big fucking head looked like a giant potato talking potato and i was like i gotta say something yeah it's like this is such a weird way for her to swipe up at 1 a.m wait you're on facetime no i was looking at snapchat stories like one she's going through my snaps okay like the 50th snap in my in my uploads too i was like okay it's deep you're just like looking for something and it's all i was there was a very hot picture of me that was the thumbnail i was trying to get to oh yeah taylor uploads my snaps and i saw hers she uploaded that snap of you it's like it was like a selfie of you it was a mirror selfie of me in a bikini i didn't even take that pic i know it's like tay you gotta at least like make it look like i took the pic it looks like you hacked natalie's phone that's what i was gonna say hacked but then i was like never mind potato potato never mind he's fat um yeah well that's would you ever be on one of those shows jay well i guess you can't now i did a couple reality shows and i didn't like how they they operated at all i can't imagine i don't like that at all can you imagine if we operated the vlog like a reality show yeah because like people will think that we like film a lot whatever we did used to film a lot but if we had that kind of regiment for the vlog would you imagine the shit we would get oh my god yeah we'd have i'm gonna say that we'd have one of the best videos of all time like we'd have yeah consistently if we filmed that much if we had 15 people that were in a house just dedicated to filming it'd be game over if i had any kind of motivation to to like did it orchestrate that to orchestrate that but you wouldn't do that either because what reality shows are like so natalie was just in here and she had a few things to say about you no but i'm saying sorry i'm more referring to the level of motivation those actors have to be on the show like right to like to get camera time to be on to be on camera yeah to be the energy to give the energy they sleep for like so georgia was on it right and she was telling me how they would sleep for like three four hours some nights and then it would go back to drinking and they would be like they'd have to stand around like like you know every shot where they're standing around takes one shot takes eight minutes yeah like we're getting a shot of you guys standing okay now hold on pause pause pause pause don't pick don't pick your person yet don't pick don't pick the person you're connected with don't pick the person yet hold on and then three three minutes later okay now pick the person who do you want to sleep with tonight go well do you know i mean like it's just like it's a lot of fucking work and you're doing that 24 7 like if i had all those people like willing to just fucking put that much time and energy into a show it'd be unstoppable why don't you do that well i just don't have the energy myself i don't have the energy myself um but like and that i just i i i still say that because i envy it because like i know like when we were filming everybody was on a different schedule right like zane would want to film sure only when we're going out or like or like you know what i mean like everybody like you approached differently big nick wanted to film every second easy you you every second camera's blazing whatever sure you know scott 50 50 everybody was like everybody was different everybody had like their own way of approaching them but like with this reality tv like it's just fucking crazy they are working 17 hours a day for a full month no phone they have no contact to the outside world they have no fucking idea what's going on no one's filming content no one's doing anything except filming that show i think it's fucking crazy they get really small yeah like that's how when we filmed we were filming with georgia yeah and i and i just brought this up but like it was i always get nervous when like bringing people on trips because i'm just like i don't i hate putting the camera on people like i just feel bad yeah um people that don't like naturally just make content yeah but georgia's like yeah this is like 300 times easier yeah filming any show because one you never pull out the camera and two like when we do it's just like in the moment of something happening and that's it yeah so that that is really interesting guys can i talk to you for a second real quick because i have something to say with over 35 million downloads seakeek is the number one rated ticketing app there why do i

best place to buy tickets use code views 10 for 10 off your seakeek tickets that's 10 off tickets with promo code views 10 um did you buy tickets to the odyssey for me well yeah no why i don't know because i remember you had texted me like eight months ago that you had got tickets for me and ferris i can't find them i know i bought tickets and i got them for you specifically it texted me in ferris you're like we're gonna go see the it was when you started vlogging again you're like we're gonna go see the odyssey together eight months from now and in my mind i was like that's really nice but i'm not thinking about eight months from now well that's when you had to get them really i bought the tickets five months ago i don't know when i bought them okay like i don't know where where they are i don't i i'm they're somewhere on my phone i have to look for them but you can't you can't just get tickets to the odyssey not in imax right in imax even when i checked yeah it was already all sold out for all the days and i got how many days out how many days out like for two weeks or a day at first opening just opening night or what are you talking no it's whole run it's whole run it's whole imax run oh wow which is how long um a couple weeks oh wow was all sold out it's only an imax for a couple weeks yeah because those imax screens they're like hard to get really like spider-man is coming out at the same time and we'll have no imax screens because odyssey is taking all the screens i'm hearing really good things about the odyssey uh me too yeah apparently it's like initially i heard mixed and now that people are seeing it yeah christopher nolan said no um influencer screenings no influencer screenings yes why would he say that yeah why would he say that well where did he do that i don't even know if he said that to be honest i was like why would he say that someone said it right yeah and they didn't do influencer screenings and i think the reason was because a lot of influencers will bomb the movie just to get views oh yeah well like talk shit about so interesting it's fucking so all right it's so whack that is whack just to sound interesting would be like and i don't think let's be clear whack on the influencers part yeah 100 yeah and i don't think i don't think people know like what an impact that has like when like a random joe schmo goes i just came out of the theater and it fucking sucked yeah like i don't think people realize what impact your little stupid words have yeah one if i see one review like that it'll it'll stop me from going to most movies not the odyssey i agree i'll just be like okay i'll just wait for it to come somewhere else you know i don't want yeah yeah or like if you see one review like that you'll go to your friends and you'll go no people are saying it's horrible yeah even though you just saw one guy say it yes but you'll just be like people are saying it's horrible yeah yeah and then your friends will be like i'm hearing mixed reviews and then i'll get back to nolan who hasn't even shown the movie to anybody yet this influencer fucking lied uh yeah it's tough out here man for filmmakers like nolan and i did he show you an early cut or anything like that i was the only influencer that yeah i got to see it early oh i um i had i went to a screening last night that i was in i went to like a youtube pilot screening you were in that show yeah i was in a i'm in a new sitcom and uh just acting in it and it's i don't know i've never had a good screening that you've been in yeah ever or even like is that why you're here with me yeah i guess so i guess so but the art of like the art of like watching yourself like up on a screening with a room full of people like it's fucking harrowing wait i'm so confused oh like it just stresses you out it's harrowing it's just to go up there and like see yourself on screen uh and you're like not it make and then i i watched it the guy called me and he was like you're so fucking goodness you gotta come and say you gotta invite david you could can you invite uh all your friends and i was like yeah yeah yeah and and i remember being like i don't remember being that funny on the day like what was this what was the movie movie or show it's a pilot it's a comedy pilot it's actually really good okay it's called disorganized it's the kid there's two kids in it from you know two guys in it that are brothers you know you'd actually like it i think okay and it's really good so what's it about and and i play and they're they uh they get up natalie it's really good they get into the organ trade so like giving uh getting finding cadavers and selling organs okay but a kid but a comedy so people pay how long are you in it for i'm in like two scenes okay they're two or three how do you think you did fine like just fine like not like so i didn't get like any laughs or anything and then it finished and i was like kind of depressed about it i was like uh i was like i was okay really and but then you know people were like you were great you're great i'm like i didn't see that do you know what i mean maybe you're just hard on yourself you know like johnny depp doesn't watch his own movies yeah so maybe you gotta take the johnny depp route and not watch your no i promise you if you watch it you'd be like all right whatever no i believe you you know what i mean i i also the the thing on that end that i find really bizarre is when you're working with someone that's like an actor like let's say i'm like shooting jamie foxx sure and like anything they say will sound interesting because you're in a room it's tough especially when you're on set for something i've never been on set for anything that i've acted in where i have bad feedback where i'm like oh i've done horrible everybody on set is blowing smoke up your ass the entire time yes and there's i think i don't think there's like any way around that like it's just that's just the nature of it and i genuinely think that a lot of producers and directors are fucking high out of their minds like i think there's i think that's why there's that many there's that many shows that come out where people think it's good and they are complete ass because i just think and i don't like talking like this about people because i love when people are creative but i think i think people get so excited about putting something in between their lens yeah that they think that they've just recreated the atom like that they think that they've actually done something incredible right like it is more than just getting the sunset hitting this person's face properly like there's more to making something good but i think people just get so obsessed i don't know i've just seen some some serious shit and i'm like i think you only like this because you did you held a big camera and you got to yell action yeah and you felt powerful and you put time into it and right you hit record and you stopped to record and then you put a piece together i don't think it is intoxicating for any other yeah i think there's like a drug to it i don't think you you understand that this actually isn't good and i think a lot of people in la are plagued with this well that's just me there's a lot i mean that do you not see that this pilot was good though i swear no i i no yeah yeah for sure we're not talking about this pilot i haven't seen it but yeah you haven't seen it but yeah but but Now, do you know what I mean? Like, it's just like, we meet so many people with so many different pilots and things. And like, one of our close friends, didn't he have a pilot? He did. Yeah, who was that? Who was he? It was such a bad pilot. Yeah, the older one. What was his name? The older one. It's an older guy. Jason. Jason. The really good looking older guy. No, no, no. But like, I don't know. I just, I don't know. Just, whatever, dude. Enough is enough. Enough is enough. You know what really charges me up? I was talking to the director last night, and I was talking to him about the thumbnail that he was going to use for the thing, and this kid had- Thumbnail? So it's on YouTube? Yeah, it's on YouTube. The pilot's on YouTube. It's kind of like a, it's like a channel of scripted comedy with sketches and pilots and stuff like that they started. Okay. And I was talking to him about like what thumbnail he was going to use, and this kid had, this is what I love about Gen Z, he'd like done months and months of research on like what they were going to use. And I was like, what the thumbnail would look like, and you know, what would the right thing be to like attract the most viewers? And he's like starting from zero, too. And I just love that. Like, I love that, that I love learning about that or watching somebody that's like- With a very different approach than how we looked at it. Yes, yes. What I like about it is it's like anybody can do that. Right. In other words, you don't need to have anything special about you. But if you like fucking study the algorithm and like learn and apply those- Those principles. Like you don't have to go to like college for it. You don't have to go to college for it. You don't have to be particularly funny. You don't have to be particularly talented. Right. But you can work, work, work your ass off and like figure out. I fucking love that. Like, I absolutely love that. I've been like studying Instagram and like studying like algorithms and stuff and just like trying to learn. Yeah, I've been like, I've been like researching- What have you learned, Jay? I've been like researching hooks. I've been researching- Oh, like the most important thing to say, like the first two seconds of a video? Yeah, or like- Yeah, or like coming up with ways to like stop people from scrolling by the video. Stuff like that. Yeah, those are important. But like, it's funny, like when you're, I think when you're maybe like really famous, it doesn't matter because people are just going to watch it. Yeah. But everybody else is like, we have to like figure out a way to like- There's a strategy to it. Stop the scroll. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was on the local news this morning. Really? Well, what happened? I, I, there's huge trouble down at our local hiking place. Did you see the clip on the news or you were just, you were just filmed for it? No, I was just, I was just filmed for it. Like they went live. They went live. Yeah. So I go hiking this morning and at our local hiking place, they're charging $7 to park. What do you think about that? Every day? Yeah, for two hours. Every day? Every day, seven days a week. General in parking, you have to pay $7. Yeah. I just, I just went there and I saw that too. I was like, what the fuck? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Like, you listen, like it's not like a monthly membership for $7. No, no, no. It's anytime you want to pull your car into a parking spot at that fucking mountain, it's going to charge you seven. You have to pay seven bucks. Which one? Fryman? Yeah. What the fuck? Crazy. $7? $7. And if you're there, if you're hiking for more than two hours, which is like so easy to do. Yeah. It goes, it's more than that. Oh my God. If you're fatter, they charge you more. Wait, that's fucking insane. Yeah. Wait, how is that okay? About four hours. So the news is out. They're pissed. The news is out. They're getting the story. You know, what do people think? What's the reaction? And people are fucking up in arms. When you saw the news, did you immediately know that that's the story they were covering? Oh, I fucking knew it. They're standing right in front of the new pay station that was never there. They have this. And the other problem is they have this one pay station. So when you, if you, there's a line of like 10 people trying to figure out this pay station. It takes forever. You got to take your slip back to the car. And then what happens is since no one wants to pay, people are parking on a really busy street. And like, oh, my God. Like, it's really dangerous. It's not dangerous for me because I've been doing it for like 20 years. But a lot of people have to try to parallel park on Laurel. So anyways. I mean, that's bullshit. The $7 makes no sense. I mean, to be honest, though, I did go. I did pay the $7 and I was able to get a parking spot in that lot. No problem because nobody wants to fucking pay it. Yeah. Normally it's impossible to find a spot. The lot's empty. Not possible. This feels like this is like a TSA clear situation we're having here. It definitely is. They are getting. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. I was going to go back into that conversation, but. Well, how much money do you think they're generating a day? Hundreds of dollars. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Right. Is it really? What's it pay for? Some trash bags? Oh, well, okay. That's fair. One guy's salary for the week. I mean, they probably make $30,000 a month off it, right? At least. Probably. $30,000 a month, $1,000 a day. Especially if they're implementing maybe multiple parks. What I find interesting is how does the news find out? People report it. Dude, news is so fun. I used to work in news. Really? Really? In college. What the fuck didn't you do? That's what I wanted to do. Yeah, dude. It's fucking weird. You spawn a new job like every day. Yeah. I did. I worked in news. I was figuring it out. I was a young guy. What channel? There was no fucking social media. Well, what did you do? Channel 4 News in Boston. Do you think you would have been a good social media influencer if you were younger? Yeah. Do you think that's where you would have went immediately? Yeah. Like right now, if, yeah? Oh, 100%. Yeah, if they had social media in 1995, I would have been the first motherfucker there. Really? Yeah. Of course. Well, I believe you. You were the first regardless. Yeah. You were the first 60-year-old to be on Vine. Of course. Who could not see that social media? Oh, my God. It drives me nuts now. Oh, I've talked about this before. I saw a guy today on TikTok that I used to know back in the day that fucking- That would never do it. That gave me so much shit. Yeah. And he's on there telling a boring story. It's crazy. But anyways. The best is when you see popular girls from high school do it. Not that we had. Like genuinely making content, not just posting to their family and friends. Yeah. Not that we had people that were like judgy about it in high school, but like, I just, I, and not popular girls. I find it funny when there's like athletes from, like guys that would never touch it. Not because they were dicks about it, but just it was like so opposite. And now they're like kind of doing the social media thing. It's really interesting. Now everybody, now you kind of just, for what fucking 50% of the businesses you start now, you have to have some sort of social media presence. So it's really interesting. All the people that like are forced to hop on it. But wait, okay. What were you doing at the news? Um, I answered the phone at the assignment desk and, uh. So anytime like a news story would come in? Yeah. I would, I would answer the phone and, and feel the calls like, Hey, there's a fire in Alston and also communicate with the crews that were out. There was like probably seven crews that went out to film. How did you decide what story was worth reporting on? Uh, that wasn't my decision, but my boss would say like, uh, listen. Okay. This crew goes here. This crew goes there. Yeah. It's a lot like the vlog actually. Wow. But you'd go and shoot everything. And then at the end of the day, they'd go, well, sorry, we're not going to cover the mayor fucking cutting the ribbon. That's not going to make it. It's just not interesting enough. Oh, but, but, oh, so you're prepping for the, for the end of the day. There's lots of stories. And then, you know, there'd be some reporter be like, what the fuck? You're not using my story, Chuck. Are the reporters going out on their own thinking, looking for things that they found on their own? No, they're getting it assigned. Okay. They're saying like there was a fire in Alston. Last night. Go. Okay. And there's like, how many reporters? Like five? Yeah. Probably like, you know, seven to eight. Wow. Okay. Yeah. And they're, they don't get there at like 11 AM and then they're preparing for the six o'clock news. I've always been so curious. Like, uh, you know, like, so TMZ, Harvey Levin is like the host of it. Used to work for him too. Really? Yeah. Used to work at TMZ. Yeah. Oh yeah. Right. You did like the showers. I did a show for Harvey. Yeah. That's really funny. Yeah. Beyond twisted. Well, I, I, a couple of months ago I noticed I had a missed call from him. Um, I, I didn't, I didn't, I caught it late, but then I was thinking, I was like, why would Harvey call me? And he was calling me because there was a TMZ bus that drove by when I was like at Dobricks and I like said something, I was like, I'd love to go watch how you guys film TMZ for a day. Yeah. And I think he called me the next day and I was like, how the fuck? Cause Harvey's cool. Is he getting old in me? How does he? Harvey knows what's cool. I mean, are he? That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, and I mean this in a polite way and like a flattering way. How the fuck did he get my number? Uh, like how, like that's pretty crazy. No. I mean, he is like the one he knows. I'd be more surprised if he got less surprised if he like called Clooney cause Clooney's been around for years, you know? But like, how is he getting my number? I just, I find that like so strange and like, they probably have a database. I know, but it's, it's really, and when they collect someone's number, it goes in the database. Kudos to him. I, I was like, cause then I put it together. I'm like, oh my God, he called because I said this and he acted on it so quick. That is like. The most TMZ thing to do to just be like in the moment present. But they used to have celebrities come in and, and host TMZ. Did you see them? Did you see, I was watching Harvey and his co-host. They were like, uh, they were interviewing, uh, they were interviewing one of Taylor Swift's guests from the wedding. Did you see this? No, no, no. And he was like, he's a friend of the show, but then he was like, oh yeah, by the way, I'm invited to Taylor's wedding. And then like, you could just see like Harvey's like, like eyes light up. He goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Backtrack right now. You're going to the wedding. And then the guy's like, yeah, yeah, I'm going to the wedding. Like, I don't know how much I can say, but like, I'm going to the wedding. And Harvey's like, well, is it in New York? And he's like, I don't think I can say. And Harvey's like, well, well, would it be crazy for me to say that this wedding could be held in two different places? He goes like, I'm not sure if I should, if I should say anything. Oh my God, poor guy. Why would he say that? It's really funny. And then Harvey got like some stuff out of him, which is pretty crazy. Yeah. But it was just really crazy to watch that happen in real time. Harvey breaking a story. Wow. That's got to be a crazy job, too. Were we ever a paparazzi? I was never a paparazzi, no. Oh, okay. No, were you? You've hung out with paparazzi. I have? Yeah, to get bits and stuff, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, my favorite was when that. My favorite was waiting outside for Drake. Yeah. With Susie was amazing. Which was so funny, because it's such a David thing to play both sides of that fence. I'm inside. Right? Yeah. Could easily go talk to Drake. Yeah. But then I'm back outside with Susie. And the paparazzi. And the paparazzi getting the vlog bit. I'm inside drinking, but then I'm like. Well, I'm not drinking, but I'm partying. Yeah. And then I'm outside, and I'm like, okay, time to get this bit. Yeah. I feel like a fucking double agent, because I'm in there just hanging out. What's more fun? I'm not friends with Drake. I just have friends of friends, right? So, yeah. But that's. And then I'm outside, and I'm like, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's me. I didn't record any secrets in there. I just felt like I was playing like a. Yeah. And then he walked out, and Susie almost got a high five from him. That was one of my favorite moments. Yeah. But yeah. Drizzy. And then another time that I've said where this paparazzi guy was really mean to me when I was like 18. And then he asked me for a picture like four or five years later. Did you say anything? No, no, no. We talked about this recently, and I was like, I didn't have the balls to give him shit. Have you ever had a good comeuppance? What do you mean? You know, like a comeuppance. Like, you know, someone's mean to you, and then you get revenge on them. You get your like silent revenge. Yeah, or verbal revenge. I can think of one I had once. Well, yeah. Even the story of that TikTok guy you just said that you said that was giving you shit, and you saw him on TikTok. Oh, yeah. But I would never say anything. No, no, no. But yeah, give me one. One time I was. Whoa, what? That was you. One time I was driving up. Fucking weird, guys. I wish we had a video podcast for that. He got really dark. It's just so sweet. Okay. It's so sweet. Wow, he was like, he really fucked this guy up. You guys are not gonna like it, but it's so sweet to me. Okay. So I'm driving up to. I used to belong to this tennis club, and I'm taking my mom up there. I think I've told you this story, but I'll tell it again. You can go, and I pull up in front of the tennis club to let my mom out. Woman comes out, old woman who works there. She doesn't work there. She's just a fucking busybody. You cannot, you cannot drive up here. You are not allowed to drive. You are not allowed to stop here to drop people off. Like, I'm like, I, I, I'm dropping my mom off. I'm gonna go park. Okay. Maybe like three months later, I'm coming out of the club. She fucking pulls up to drop her husband off in the car, and old J-Dog walks out at that moment. No way. And I go, hmm, hmm, looks like you're dropping off here now. She goes, oh, and I went, uh-huh, uh-huh, and that was it. It was so fucking sweet. That doesn't even feel like a comeuppance story. Yeah. I think so. That just feels like that was revenge. Maybe I'm using comeuppance wrong? No, I feel like that's like more like, like this, this. Like someone told you never be nothing, and then you finally see them. Oh, yeah, well, I don't have that. What happens with us a lot, or like, at least definitely used to when we first were YouTubing, is, I mean, this would happen all the time where like a security guard or something, someone wouldn't let us do something. Yeah. And then, oh, the higher person always comes in and is like, no, no, they're actually, they're like the main reason we're doing this event today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like a, that's like a comeuppance where like I feel like you don't like actually like, you're not a dick to anybody. Right. You kind of just went for this woman's throat. Oh, yeah. I think that's just, but I think that's just revenge. Mm, okay. Well, call it what you want. It was a sweet victory. Yeah, it's definitely sweet. You got her. That's for sure. I think so. I love stories like that. I'm trying to think if I have, I mean, I definitely have something. Would anyone ever tell you you wouldn't be anything? No. People are pretty positive, actually. I got that, I got that, there's one, I've referenced this story a lot. There's one moment where I was like on my way to LA where I first got to LA and I first told my friends in the car that I'm going to LA. Yeah. And my friend was just like, I was sitting in the backseat with him and he's like, guys, guys, turn the music down, turn the music down. I love this story. Right? Yeah, tell me, I love it. Yeah, well, and he was just like, guys, guess where David's going? He's going to LA to do Vine. And like, and it was so funny because he has all the reason to say that. Sure. And I also have all the reason on the other side to be like, this is so funny. This is exactly, this is the most cliche. Like, I was so dead set on making it as like a younger kid where anytime I faced any kind of adversity or whatever or like anybody didn't believe in me, I was like, oh, fuck, hell yeah. Like, you're supposed to get these. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, if you don't have people telling you can't do it, like it's not like I, it was like almost like things to check off the list. And like when I heard it from this guy, I was like, fuck yeah. Guy doubted me. One, in car, check that off. But like, did you ever see him? Yeah, I see him all the time. You ever say anything? No, but even if I told him, it wouldn't be like, fuck you. Like, no, even when he said it, he was still a nice guy. Sure. It was ridiculous that I was going to Vine or that I was going to LA for Vine or whatever. You wouldn't go up there when you see him and just go like, hey, remember when I was leaving for LA and you made that joke? No. No. I also like, obviously in high school, like the dream is to pull up to your high school reunion in like a Ferrari. Yeah. But like, I would never do that. Yeah, you wouldn't do that. Like, that's just like, it's just crazy. Marnie had an uncle who was like heavily in like the New York bar scene and blah, blah, blah, blah. And Vin Diesel was his bouncer. Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel was his bouncer. Wow. So he owned a club and Vin Diesel worked the door. That's fucking crazy. Vin Diesel came to him and needed like $16,000 for his car. For his short film called Multifaceted, which is the film that got Vin Diesel his like acting career or Multifaceted. Wait, how much money did he need? He needed like 16 grand. Oh my God. And I remember we said to Marnie's uncle, we go, so what'd you tell him? He goes, I told him he'd never make it. That's crazy. And sure enough, Vin Diesel fucking, Vin Diesel. That film got propelled him. Do you understand like Vin Diesel probably has the best job in all of Hollywood? His group. Good job. Yeah. How much he's made, Vin Diesel made from Groot. So he voices Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy and in the Avengers. His only line is, I am Groot. I don't even understand like why don't they just like automate that? It doesn't sound anything like Vin Diesel anyway. I don't know. I don't know why they, and Vin Diesel like show. There's no way that's real. That's interesting, yeah. It can't be real. What do you mean? You don't think he goes into the recording booth and says I am Groot 50 ways? No, because. The way you did that? No, no. I believe that a person could do that, but the amount of money they're paying him to do that does not feel like that's real. In the first Guardians of the Galaxy, this is fucking crazy. The article's titled is how could Marvel possibly justify paying Vin Diesel $52 million for the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie for playing Groot? It's not real. I think it's all a hoax. I think it's all PR. There's no way they would do that. No way. Imagine you look at you look at the poster and it says you know Zoe Saldana Chris Pratt and John Castro. You know, it's like you need that name there. No, you do, but there's no way he's like I'm going to charge you $52 million. Yeah, there's no way Vin Diesel's like Like he's got that big of an I mean, Vin Diesel's great, but you could get Leonardo DiCaprio to fucking do that shit. Okay, you can't get DiCaprio to do that. Okay, whatever, but somebody can. But like can't if I was if I was Marvel and I was negotiating with Vin Diesel. Yeah. Right. Who's just coming off the Fast and Furious franchise that was that probably the peak, right? When he got hired for Marvel. He's probably he was like the rock at that time. Like bigger. He was huge. Huge. That's right. So like if I'm that as Vin Diesel's team, I'm going to go listen. Everything we touch is a blockbuster hit. That's right. And we want $50 million. And now as Marvel, I'm going to go. I'm sorry. We only have a million dollars. Does he want to say I'm Groot or not? No. And I feel like that would be enough. Right? Not a million. I think it's more like 10 to 20 for Vin Diesel to be a part of a movie, especially if it's at his peak. Okay. But he's saying I am Groot. I'm so sorry. I don't want to take away from this man's beautiful things that he did for our country and for Guardians of the Galaxy. But he's saying, guys, if you don't know the Avengers, there's a character called Groot and he can't speak any other words. It's also not even him. It's a tree. It's a tree. It's an animated tree. It's an animated tree and the only thing the character says is I am Groot. I am Groot. Literally. So if one of the characters goes, where should we go? Groot goes, I am Groot. And then the other character goes, right, yes, let's go that way. Hurry up, guys. And Vin Diesel is voicing that. I wonder if they go to Guardians of the Galaxy parties if he feels a little sort of the way I felt at my screening. The project's great, but I didn't really do much. No, because he's like. No, he's really It's weirdly iconic in it, too, of course. like the minimal amount you think yes yes Groot is like such like everybody fucking loves Groot for that reason because it's like it's like what the fuck is going on here I'm surprised I haven't seen more like interviews surrounding Vin like why isn't Vin Diesel there's gotta be some I don't know I genuinely think Vin Diesel thinks he robbed Marvel so maybe he doesn't want to talk about it he's like I feel bad don't mention it yeah yeah so Vin it says here you're no no no no no no don't bring that up it says here you made 150 million dollars through the trilogy it's like what the fuck I mean voice acting is the craziest right Mila Kunis getting 250 thousand dollars an episode of Family Guy yeah and that was like she was coming in for like yeah she's coming in probably some episodes like 10 lines in her pajamas it is the best job in the world is to be a voice actor and the coolest part like I said this I think two podcasts ago is when big actors obviously they're like the first pick of the litter for big voice acting opportunities like Owen Wilson getting cars come on he's already Owen Wilson and then they give him cars it's fucking amazing yeah that's amazing you do like a cologne commercial in Japan so fucking incredible so incredible get a check for like two million dollars it really is insane how much like money there is out there I know and I can't get any of it that drives me crazy it drives me crazy that I'm like what am I doing wrong well there's just so many people going for it yeah and once you're at the top you really you really are just at the top just like taking it in yeah like it's it's really I mean it's like could you imagine how many things Kevin Hart turns down yeah like Kevin Hart just at the top like it's it's it's in probably probably five actual real offers a day he turns down right I mean that's the thing I mean that's a lot seems like he does them all but like no I think he just has so many yeah he's got a new movie coming out on Netflix yeah and they're probably so probably so easy like Kevin we need you to we need to borrow he's also just being like himself a lot of the time yeah we need to borrow your voice he comes in the most work he probably does is interacting with the cast and crew yeah because that's probably the most work he does and then he comes in and he fucking no no he's out there I went and saw a live taping of Kevin Hart the sports show he does for Amazon no I'm saying for specific jobs I know he works he works like a fucking madman yeah yeah he was funny yeah no he's great he's great but just fucking it really is he's got a skill that no one else has once you get up there it really is just so fuck it's like picking it's like being a giraffe and just picking the apples off the tree have you had any auditions lately? no nothing? it's been super dry you never get called you never have a friend who's like David I'm making a movie can you be in it? he gets audition requests he does? yeah but he doesn't go? I actually was offered a movie why did you do it? have you seen it? you're so funny it's out on Netflix now what? the one where I don't want to say what it is but where I'd have to be in the water and I didn't want to do it because I didn't want to take my shirt off no way that's out it's completely out it's a real movie I didn't believe it comedy or thriller? thriller you would have been in a thriller? yeah it was a plane crash movie really? lands in a water it's got two big actors attached to it and it already had the people attached offer? like offer you didn't have to audition? yeah yeah I didn't have to audition wow it was just like you have this role and it was a big role no no no no? I don't think so no no I think it was big I mean you definitely had lines I don't think you were like a star of the film oh okay yeah yeah what did he have? a couple pages? a page of dialogue? no no no it was more it was not no no no I'm surprised you didn't do it I can't be in water what are you talking about? because there's a plane going to the hot tub? every night it was plane crash and my shirtless scene you're literally ripped and then I watched it and then I watched it and a lot of people getting eaten by sharks were still dressed because they just came out of the plane so I was like what? fuck I could have kept my clothes on so I should have done this movie on the day you should just take opportunity I don't know why you don't just do like random shit even if you're like not great like who cares because I'm just like not like 18 like I don't have that energy I don't have just like that I don't have like dude when I got the audition did I ever talk about this? I don't know I auditioned for Shang-Chi yes yeah I auditioned for Shang-Chi like when I got that I had the script as my background on my phone for like 3-4 years I was so stoked on it yeah that's the kind of shit that drives me yeah you were you were playing a guy on the bus and then we went and saw the movie your part yeah and the guy that they hired was great the guy that was live streaming people yeah I was like a social media guy on the bus but like I don't know I also think that's like I also don't think you want like me in a Marvel movie I love to act I love it I love it so much why? even just being I don't love to act I love the chance to be funny like I love to be like those two guys that I did the pilot with like they were really funny and they were like improv-y kind of guys I love that it's like you're out there and you're like oh man like let's see I like to act fucking love it I don't love it as much as you do one of the toughest things I had to do was when we when I was the judge on America's Most Musical Family yeah and that was tough because like I had to judge musical talents I remember I came and watched you so Nick Lachey was the host Sierra was one of the judges and Debbie Gibson was the other judge and they're obviously all very musically talented and then there's me who like can't doesn't know anything about pitch and like we watched I don't know a hundred different acts in total and every act I have to and it's Nickelodeon so I'm not being an asshole neither would I ever even if it wasn't if it wasn't Nickelodeon but like I had to come up with new ways to say good job a hundred times and I remember like while people were performing I'd be like Natalie text me right now she'd be off off stage text me what to say text me what to say text me what to say because I'd be so fucking nervous what would you do that I would send him I would send him like little anecdotes like sparkly outfits very cool yeah yeah it brought the energy should have got him an earpiece wait what's something that like you get that you get offered from Dave that you don't even tell him about sometimes scripts will come through and I won't even bother telling him because he's not going to do it really you won't even say like hey I can send you to the entertainer I want you to be in this even just to pick him up if it was like if Jamie Foxx sent a script of course I'm going to you know whatever but like there's like random like I don't know what level or budget or whatever but like there's just things where I just know he's not going to take the time to go act for a month on a set or something like that right um wait what was it like when you did Lil Dicky show Lil Dicky oh the Met Gala episode pretty chill used to get residuals from that show really how much you do not a lot how much did it make maybe like a couple bucks two bucks a couple bucks yeah no more than ten for sure what's a couple bucks like five to eight bucks my god I can't imagine getting residuals on a real show that's a life hack yeah it's kind of nice I get residuals every month no I know but it's just not you get residuals from like the Drew Barrymore show really yeah it's either her or Kelly Clarkson or one of the shows that you went on yeah that you get like little residuals for I wouldn't think you'd get residuals for that me either for a talk show yeah Drew Barrymore show pays me yeah it's so cool I'm such a big fan of Drew Barrymore yeah she's great you love her I love 51st Days and I take my percent of that five dollars I'm just kidding cold cold bitch I'm just kidding I don't alright guys that's all the time we have for today thank you guys for listening to the pod go check out Jason's short films he's working on I'm really proud of him thank you that's really nice and also Natalie I saw a great TikTok about why your friends don't like your TikToks like about me specifically or just in general no no no it's just like it was a TikTok about like the psychology of you know why you make content but like your friends don't know you that way because you're like projecting and your friends know who you really are I don't know I don't know about that I'll send it to you I can say things about your vlogs motherfucker suck my dick bye
