I was in the industry lounge at VidCon looking
for something to eat when I saw my favorite YouTubers. They make some of the best videos I’ve ever
seen, and of all the people I’d want to collab with, they’re at the top of the list. Of course I’m talking about none other than... William Osman and Cameraman John. *intro music* Alright, I know you want to hear about David
Dobrik, but hold tight this will all make sense in a second. I went over to William and John to introduce
myself. I was really nervous, but they ended up being
incredibly nice people. They even traded some cat stickers for one
of my pins! If you don’t know about their channel, I
highly recommend it. One time they put hoverboard motors onto a
shopping cart, which is about as dangerous as it sounds, and another time they laser
cut a bunch of ham into the shape of Vin Diesel's head. It’s very important work. Anyway, it turns out that they brought the
shopping cart to VidCon, and William gave me his phone number so we could meet up and
play around with it later. Which was extra exciting, because if I got
hurt, can you imagine the clickbait? ROBOT SHOPPING CART BROKE MY ARM But here’s the thing, that night something
happened that was way better than breaking my arm! I saw David Dobrik at a party. The king of clickbait! Obviously I had to tell him about the shopping
cart, but it looked like he was about to leave so I didn’t have much time. I ran over to David and didn’t even bother
to introduce myself or ask if he had any cat stickers. Tim (breathless): My friend has a remote control
shopping cart that can pop wheelies and would be perfect for your vlog. David: ...what? Tim: My friend put hoverboard motors on a
shopping cart. It’s in his hotel room. It would be great for your vlog. David: Cool, you want my phone number? Tim: Hehehe… yeah… I kinda fumbled my phone out of my pocket
and handed it to him. To me, the most incredible part of this whole
story is how fast he typed his number into my phone. It literally took two seconds! I can’t explain it, but it was magical. While I was sitting there wondering if there’s
anything David’s not good at, he leaned in and very firmly said: David: Let’s do this tomorrow. And then vanished. I might have just been in shock, but I honestly
don’t remember him walking away. Now, I know it’s hard to believe that someone
as cool and very super famous as me would even be phased by this situation, but I just
made a promise to one of the most popular YouTubers ever that another YouTuber - who
I just met - would let him use and probably break an expensive thing he built. Please be the good timeline. Please be the good timeline. I ran out of the party all business mode,
and called William Osman, super dramatically. Tim: Listen to me very carefully. William: Okay? Tim: I just met David Dobrik and I told him
he could use the shopping cart in his vlog. When are you free tomorrow? William: Any time after two I guess. Tim: YES! So, I texted my best friend David Dobrik the
details and went to bed like it was christmas eve. The next day when I was waiting in the hotel
lobby with William and John, David wasn’t replying to my texts. (Which was really odd because he normally
does.) So I was just anxiously waiting for David
to text me. Tim: *Gasp* This must be how Liza feels. Or… Felt. David: oooh, to soon... Tim: Ah sorry, I’ll cut it. David: … Eh, leave it in. It’s funny. I walked outside to meet everyone, and he
immediately started filming. Also, I noticed he does this thing where he
holds the camera to his chest so people don’t know they’re being filmed, but I saw right
through that trick. Yeah. Best friends are like that. Security kicked us out in record time, which
was super impressive because Jonah wasn’t even in any real danger yet. So we walked to the front of the hotel, and
right as I had this moment of “Wow, I can’t believe I made all of this happen” we got
completely surrounded by people excited to see David and Casey. Oh yeah, did I mention that Casey Neistat
was there? You need to know that for when I get to the
part where the police show up.... So the police showed up and asked who was
in charge, and David was all “everyone I guess” which is like, dude... don’t drag
me into this. Then the cop asked if we knew that we need
licenses and insurance to film in public, and Casey - who’s a stone cold killer - goes
“Officer, we never even touch a camera without getting a license” I couldn’t help but
burst out laughing. Normally cops don’t like it when people
laugh in their faces, but I’m super white so it didn’t matter. I think that was about the time an SUV drove
by and Liza Koshy popped her head out of the window to say hi to David real quick, which
doesn’t matter to the story at all but I still needed to tell you. Anyway, we ended up going to the parking lot
of another hotel that didn’t seem to care as much, and David filmed Jonah getting totally
shreked by the shopping cart for like half an hour.
