I can do this, I can do this.

[light haunting music]

I'm so scared.

Alright, what do you guys wanna know?

[light suspenseful music]

I can breathe. Is your name David Dobrik?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Does your YouTube channel

have over 10 million subscribers?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Is this your girlfriend?

No. I'm so sorry.

That's okay.

[Interviewer] That's not your girlfriend, correct?

Not. Okay.

Son of a bitch.

[metal door slamming]

[Interviewer] So first we'll talk about your life.

Okay.

Are you nervous? No, yes, yes, yes, I am.

[Interviewer] Let's start from the beginning.

[metal door slamming]

You were born in Slovakia? Yes.

[Interviewer] Do you remember living there?

Yes.

[Interviewer] What do you remember?

I remember living in an apartment,

I remember my Grandma,

I remember my Grandpa's hair,

he had a lot of it for his age

and I remember I used to have two bunnies

and then when I moved, my aunt and uncle ate them,

this is serious, they're gone now.

[Interviewer] Why did they eat them?

That's just how they work in Slovakia,

you don't really keep bunnies as pets, but I did.

[Interviewer] Were you sad,

when your family ate your pets?

No.

[Interviewer] When did you move to Chicago?

In the 4th grade, the suburbs.

[Interviewer] Would you call yourself a Chicagoan?

Yes, in front of other people,

that have never been to Chicago, I would,

but if I meet someone from Chicago,

I make sure to let 'em know, that I'm not from Chicago

or else they'll be mad.

[Interviewer] Is there something you miss most

about living in Chicago?

Yes, my hometown friends.

He's telling the truth.

Whoa!

Hello.

[Interviewer] You're a DACA recipient, right?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you worried

about your status under Trump?

Yes.

[Interviewer] How so?

I'm worried, I'm gonna start crying,

in the way that I feel like I could get deported,

but I'm also not worried,

because I just really don't think about it,

but if I think about it, then yeah, I'd be worried.

[Interviewer] Next

[metal door slamming]

let's talk about your friends.

We asked one of your friends from high school

to ask you some questions.

Ready?

Play the tape.

[Girl] Did you ever ditch school?

Yes.

[Interviewer] How many times, David?

Three. Just three times?

Yes, just three times.

[Girl] Did you ever win anything in high school?

I won some things, what's it to you?

[Interviewer] So you won things in high school?

What did you win?

All State in tennis.

[laughing] Did you just laugh?

[Interviewer] I'm not the one being examined here.

Did you laugh? No.

Just everyone always seems to laugh,

when I say I played tennis.

[Interviewer] Let's play the final question.

[Girl] Who was your high school crush?

It's Courtney [bleep].

Nice girl, I said it, she has a boyfriend now.

Don't believe I said that.

[Interviewer] Courtney [bleep] was your high school crush?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Did you ever ask her out?

No. Why not?

'Cause I'm a little bitch.

[Interviewer] Do you still talk to her?

From time to time.

[Interviewer] Ever slide into her DMs?

No.

She has a boyfriend.

[Interviewer] Is this man, Scotty Sire your best friend?

No.

Listen, if you're just gonna show me pictures of my friends

and ask who the best friend one is, I'm out.

But show me another.

[Interviewer] Would you say

Toddy Smith is your best friend?

No.

Neither of them are my best friends.

[Interviewer] John, does that check out?

It's true, oh, shit.

Don't post this anywhere, please.

[Interviewer] Do you know how you would rank

your Vlog Squad from best to worst friend?

No, I don't know.

[Interviewer] Come on, David,

give it your best shot.

Number one,

I'd have to go with Jason.

Number two, I'd have to go with

Todd, number three, Scott,

number four, Carly, number five, Erin.

[Interviewer] Why are you doing Erin like that?

That's none of your business.

[Interviewer] Are you aware that a lot of people

in your comments call you cute?

I am aware.

[Interviewer] Would you call yourself cute?

Yes.

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you cuter than Cameron Dallas?

No.

[Interviewer] How cute would you say he is

on a scale of one to 10?

If I'm a six,

he's an eight and a half.

I think five would be average,

but I think when I do my hair the right way,

I get up to the six.

[Interviewer] You okay there, David?

Can I go home? No.

Would you say you find this man, Drake Bell

more attractive than this man, Josh Peck?

No, I would not say that.

[Interviewer] So who's more attractive?

My type, Josh Peck,

he's a husband now and he has a family and he has a child,

that's the type of person I would wanna be with.

[Interviewer] And now let's talk about relationships.

Are you single now?

Yes.

[Interviewer] But you previously were

in a two-year relationship with one Liza Koshy?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you aware

that your break up announcement

was your most viewed video on YouTube?

Yes.

[Interviewer] How does that make you feel?

Surprised,

no, not surprised,

pretty solid that there's that many people supporting us.

It's more a good thing than a bad thing.

[Interviewer] Is it true that she broke up with you?

Yes.

Man.

[Interviewer] Are you sad that it's over?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you actively trying to get her back?

No.

[Interviewer] Are you dating anyone else right now?

No.

[Interviewer] You okay?

Huh, yeah, I'm good, no, I'm good.

You guys have tissues?

[Interviewer] Let's move to to your career.

Do you miss your privacy?

No.

Really? For some things, but no,

if it would cost me my job, then no.

It's nice to have some privacy.

[Interviewer] What do you miss most about your privacy?

Just people not knowing

the ins and outs of everything in my life,

not knowing everything that's going on.

That was kind of nice, but it doesn't matter.

[Interviewer] Do you regularly watch your own videos

in your free time?

No.

[Interviewer] But do you read the comments?

Yes.

[Interviewer] In general,

how do you feel about the comments?

Most of the time, pretty good.

[Interviewer] You ever engage trolls?

Sometimes, no, no, not really, no.

So that's a no? No.

[Interviewer] So no, meaning you don't engage with trolls

or no, meaning you do engage with trolls?

Exactly, took the words right out of my mouth.

[Interviewer] Okay.

What's the worst comment that you've ever read?

Not worst, but I get a lot of,

I get a lot of comments that say,

he's attractive in like a weird way

or like, I don't know if I'm the only one,

but I'm weirdly attracted to him,

it's kind of like a backhanded compliment,

it's not the worst, but it's like why are you saying that?

[Interviewer] Are you happy now?

Yes.

Are you still happy now? Yes, I am.

[Interviewer] Some people on Reddit speculate

that you make a lot of your videos 4:20 in length,

'cause of 4:20, Yes.

[Interviewer] So you smoke weed?

Hm, no.

[Interviewer] David?

A little bit.

I'll smoke like once every six months.

[Interviewer] How high are you right now?

How high are you right now? Super high.

I'm not high right now, I'm sober.

[Interviewer] Okay, let's talk about YouTube.

You started off on Vine, correct?

Correct.

[Interviewer] Do you have a favorite Vine that you made?

No.

[Interviewer] If you had to pick one,

is there one you like?

Yeah, I liked most of 'em.

[Interviewer] Well, which one did you like the most?

I'm drawing a blank on 'em.

I mean, I could explain it to you,

but it would just bore you.

[Interviewer] Wouldn't you call

the one you like the most your favorite?

Yes.

[Interviewer] So you do have a favorite Vine?

Yeah. You just can't explain it

to us now, or?

No. Okay.

We'll move on then.

Was there a Vine made by someone else,

that you wish you'd thought of?

Yeah, I really like the one where it goes,

where it's that song and it goes,

♪ Da da da da ♪

and then this girl turns around, her name's Chloe

and she has glasses on and she makes a funny face.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

See, this is why I don't explain Vines.

[Interviewer] That sounds very funny.

Thank you. Are there any YouTubers

that you think are sell outs?

Yes. Can you name one?

Sure, Zena Jazzy.

[Interviewer] What about this guy?

Yes.

Major sell out, the biggest.

[Interviewer] If you were to describe this man

with a single word, it would be?

You said it perfectly yourself, sell out.

[Interviewer] I think that's two words.

Shit,

I'm pretty high.

[Interviewer] One of your vlogs,

you jumped into 1400 ponds of dry ice, is that right?

14,000.

[Interviewer] Tell the truth here, David.

Is it a bit hacky,

when YouTubers watch and react to their own videos?

Yeah, it is, but I know what you're gonna do.

What am I gonna do? You're gonna show me

a picture of me reacting to my own video, okay.

[Interviewer] Oh, is that something you've done?

No, I've never done it.

[Interviewer] So you have reacted

to your own videos before?

No.

Okay, so-- I have, I have,

I have reacted to my own videos, I have.

[Interviewer] And you're saying that's a hack move?

Yeah,

yep.

[Interviewer] So you're calling yourself a hack?

No, I just got nervous.

[Interviewer] Are there lots of people out there

copying your videos?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Take notice of anyone?

No.

[Interviewer] Is copying somebody else's video wrong?

Not necessarily.

[Interviewer] In what way?

If you give it your own twist.

[Interviewer] Are there any YouTubers out there,

who you think are funnier than you?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Like who?

I wanna keep that a secret.

[Interviewer] What about this person?

She is, she's funny.

[Interviewer] And how about the Dolan twins?

Are they funnier than you?

Yes.

[Interviewer] By a lot or just a little?

Just a little.

[Interviewer] Do you think you'll ever be

funnier than these guys?

I'm working my way up there.

[Interviewer] Do you have a plan to elevate your game?

Work out more.

[Interviewer] How much can you bench?

Enough.

Can we cut the interview?

[Interviewer] I don't think so, David.

Should Vine make a comeback?

No.

[Interviewer] Why not?

Because it was like a cool thing

for a group of people to enjoy and that's it,

it was hot when it was hot and that's it,

we shouldn't revisit it.

It's like making a sequel to a great movie, why?

Just watch the movie again.

[Interviewer] Alright, David, last question.

At any point during this interview,

did you lie and we didn't catch it?

No.

[Interviewer] I'm gonna ask you again,

at any point during this interview,

did you lie and we didn't catch it?

No.
