we are hanging out with Jake Paul aka JP aka Dirk well thanks for joining us your pink shirts awesome
Thank you.
A lot of holes in that.
Flexed.
You flexed a bit and the shirt just, yeah, there's a million holes now.
Yes.
What, tell us about when you first took on this role, how was it?
Wasn't an adjustment?
Was it weird?
Has it been exciting?
Yeah, so when I first took on the role, I was like, I immediately knew that I loved Dirk and I think that was like the fun part about it, but it definitely was like different than what I was like used to used to playing.
It was such a big character and Dirk doesn't really understand everything and yeah.
Yeah, I, I understand most in healing in real life.
Yeah, I know how to do taxes.
Yes.
So what else is there to understand?
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like every time I watch our YouTube videos, you understand things QM because you're always out sorting everybody.
No way.
Yeah, well, thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that's not Dirk.
So they're Dirk's getting outsmarted usually or kind of just like going with the flow or messing things up on occasion with everyone else.
So how are you most similar to Dirk?
I think Dirk is fearless and so am I.
Well, I, he'll literally do anything and I like that and realized you.
And speaking of fearlessness, your videos, you've done some really, really crazy stuff.
Yeah.
What's the number one craziest thing he's done?
Mmm, I snowboarded also agreed on doing Ram and I like really didn't want to do it.
I was like, I don't want to do this.
I want to go home, but like there's four cameras on me and I like I had to do it.
So I'm probably like the most nerve-wracking thing for me.
I thought I was gonna like get injured badly.
I read your motto, let's see if I get it right.
You got to want it.
Is that, that's right.
That's right.
I'm gone along.
How did you decide this motto?
Oh, I've been saying you gotta want it since I was like 16 years old.
Um, basically like what ever I was in the gym or like wrestling or like working hard or do whatever it is that I was doing.
I was like, you gotta want it in that legging inspired me to push myself harder and like me and my friends just kept on saying it and it became something that like stuck with us and I just like brought that to Hollywood where like the work was even more and like you had to grind like super hard and so that like continued to be the motto all throughout all throughout my ladder, the latter part of my life.
Okay, okay.
Well, being on set is so much fun and I love how the cast is like its own mini family and I saw you and Ethan hanging out.
You guys look like pretty good buddies.
Yeah, Ethan's like the little brother that I never had and like my brother always beat me up.
So I'd be east enough and we have that dynamic.
So it's pretty funny.
What do you think it looks like?
Where do you see yourself in five years from now?
Probably eating doughnuts somewhere.
Other than that, like for real wise, I think, yeah, I think it's the same thing.
Like I always believed that the stars in the future are going to be like 50% digital and 50% traditional and so I want to continue to like create my own content and do online videos, but I also want to be an actor in movies and TV shows and expand my career there.
Thanks for having us.
Thank you for coming.
Yeah, enjoy director filming.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Yeah, I mean, this isn't about placing else.
Yeah, I'm a gentleman.
I'm, I'ma go sleep.
Yes.
Night, night.
Night, night.
