10 Things David Dobrik Can't Live Without

Well, not mine.

Mine's outside, but this is in case I ever get a dog.

It's, like, it's, like a, it's a smaller size.

Oh.

[soft electronic music]

Hey, guys, it's David Dobrik,

and these are my essentials.

This right here is extremely important to me.

It's a charging case.

I know this is really, really lame,

but I have a method behind it.

I have two.

I like having two chargers because,

while I'm out and about with one,

the other one is sitting at home and on the charger,

and then I can come home and switch them

so I'm never, ever sitting at the charger.

I hate having my phone at the charger

'cause, obviously, I can't use it,

and it's just a pain to plug in at night

'cause I can't see where the little connector is.

I gotta stop doing these motions.

I literally do it in every video.

[chuckles]

This is the honest truth,

my phone hasn't died...

No, actually, it died yesterday.

But before then, it hasn't died

in, like, in, like, three months, I think,

'cause I'm, like, I'm on this charging system.

And when I travel, I have one on my phone

and two in my bag, so I'm, I'm ready.

If, you know, if something happens,

I'm stuck in the middle of the ocean,

I'll have charge for at least 17 hours.

This is my next essential.

This is my Suave Kids` shampoo.

Now, this is a very particular one,

I've just recently switched over to it,

the three in one,

so it's shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

I started using these,

believe it or not, when I was younger,

and I just haven't been able

to give this up, for some reason.

These are also great...

[chuckles]

I'm, like, super hyped on these.

These are also great because, on the back,

there's always a fact on the back of them.

This one doesn't have it

'cause it's the three in one,

so I think they, like, they omit the fact

because they have so many other things in it already

that there's no need for the fun fact,

but, but sometimes, like, it'll teach you

about, like, a walrus, or, like, a sea lion,

so I've been learning a lot of facts from this.

It's, like, honestly a learning tool.

[laughs]

People are gonna be watching this,

be like, this guy's a [beep] idiot.

And it washes your entire body.

Like, you do three squirts on the head,

and then you do two, a little on the body,

and then it all kinda rolls down like a car wash,

like a big steam roll over your body,

'cause it's three in one, so it's,

you know, it's applying everything at once,

and then you're clean,

and it just washes right off your toes,

and it's a done deal.

It saves time and product space.

Suave Kids.

[laughs]

My next item is gum.

Gum is super, super important to me.

I have a drawer just dedicated to gum.

I can't have conversations with people without chewing gum.

Like, I hate being close to people.

Now, I'm a little, like,

a little more lenient on not chewing gum

because of the face mask,

so I don't feel like I'm, like, spewing my breath at people,

and I, I just always,

I don't, it, it's not that I don't brush my teeth, I do,

but I just, like, after I brush it,

like, you still need something in there

that's still working at the same time you're talking.

Spearmint is my favorite.

Polar Ice, not my favorite.

It's kinda only here just

to show you guys the different options.

Peppermint's good, but if you're gonna go peppermint,

might as well go all out and do spearmint,

and I just like the color of green.

It catches your eye,

and it goes, whoa, what is, what is in that guy's mouth?

I wanna talk to him.

And one thing I do hate is cinnamon gum.

Oh my god, it is the most disgusting gum I've ever had.

That's obviously why it's not here,

and it's not allowed in this house.

Oh, shit, did you guys say

you want to see my gum trick?

Okay, hope you're ready for this one.

Oh, I did it.

Oh my god.

[chuckles]

I never get it on my first try.

That's my favorite gum trick.

Wow, that makes me feel good.

[laughs]

This is my disposable camera.

This is really, really important to me.

I just started taking disposable pictures,

like, two years ago.

I have an Instagram account kinda dedicated to them.

I really like these

because they're so not aggressive.

Like, you can go into a premiere,

you can go into, like, any event,

and you can take pictures of anybody,

and no one expects anything

because it's just like, I look like a 20-year-old kid

with, like, this cheap camera,

but the pictures turn out amazing.

This is my sexy friend Jeff

with this sexy friend Stass and Kelsey.

This is me flipping the camera off.

This is Julia and Leonardo DiCaprio

at the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood premiere.

They weren't looking at my camera,

but I stood right next to the camera guy,

and I quickly snapped this.

This is Benny drawing on my face

for a Juice Wrld music video.

This is Margot Robbie.

I asked her if I could take a picture,

and she literally goes, Aw, okay,

'cause she thought this was so pathetic.

This is my favorite, John Stamos.

He's beautiful.

And then you have Kendall and Kylie,

the setting, the same party.

This is Kylie eating a slice of pizza.

Cheese.

Get it?

And then this is, this is Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton, by the way,

is the sweetest person on planet Earth.

The best part about this is you can, like,

really live in the moment.

I know it sounds so cliche,

but it's nice to take a picture,

and not look at it, and not have to take 50 other pictures,

and now, I even started an app,

it's called David's Disposable,

and on the app, you take one picture,

and you don't get to see the pictures

until 9:00 a.m. in the next morning.

This one's important.

This is my Elon Musk Not A Flamethrower.

[flamethrower roars]

It's pretty nice.

Right now, it's on low flame.

This is perfect for, like, when you're roasting s'mores,

and this is perfect for when you hate your neighbors,

so it has, it has a little bit of bulk.

This has really gotten me, like, through a lot.

I absolutely, absolutely love it.

The next one, this is my new perfume.

It's called David's Perfume.

I know, the name's not crazy,

but it did take us a while to come up with it.

There's two different scents.

This one's amber and Cashmere,

and this one's grapefruit and sandalwood.

They're both unexpected, but elegant,

is, like, what we use to describe it,

and we just designed the boxes,

and it's really cool 'cause it, it, like, opens up,

just like an iPhone box,

which, fun fact, I read somewhere

that Apple, the way they design their boxes,

it opens faster and faster the higher you get.

It, like, matches with your heart rate

of you opening the box for the first time.

This, I don't think we matched with anybody's heart rate,

but it is a cool box.

It's coming out this September, I think,

and it's available at davidsperfume.com.

This isn't the finished one.

That's why it's, like, falling apart.

It's all fake here.

None of this is real.

This isn't actually my house.

It's just a green screen.

Heck yeah.

These are important.

This is where someone, like, watches the video,

and they just, like, X right out of it.

I love waters more than, more than,

more than any of your friends.

I think, currently, I drink about five liters

of water a day.

If you were to do bottles,

it'd be, it'd be, like, 10 of these a day.

I'm literally a fish.

And my temperature preference for water,

since you guys asked, is definitely room temperature,

even sometimes warmer than room temperature.

Like, if it's sitting in the garage

on a hot day, that's all me,

it has my name on it.

Now, the other most important part

about your life is sleep.

I think it's so important to have, like, a comfy pillow

because you spend, like, what, 40% of your life in bed,

30% of your life in bed.

So this is my favorite.

It's a bamboo pillow.

It's a little pricey.

It's was $15,000,

so it's a lot for...

I'm totally kidding.

Everybody's face in here was like, mm-okay.

I think it's, like, $40, I think it's, like, $35.

It's actually a very, like, affordable pillow.

It's the perfect amount of soft and firmness,

and when you flip it over

to the cold side of the pillow, like everybody loves,

it's, like, really cold.

It's, like, the perfect amount of cold.

It's actually the only thing I like cold.

I'm a side sleeper,

so this, you know, the side of my face is on here,

and then I put a softer pillow

that's, like, a little bit longer,

it's almost like a body pillow, in between my legs.

I have to have something in between my legs.

[chuckles]

Sounds weird.

Sounds really weird.

This is really important to me.

I'm just showing off.

Ha-ha, like, keep 'em coming.

These are my favorite awards.

This is my Kids' Choice Award,

and this is my People's Choice Award.

I'm a huge fan of Nickelodeon,

and, like, I used to watch Kids' Choice Awards,

and Josh Peck got to present me

with my first Kids' Choice Award, which is crazy.

I was also slimed at this award show,

which was really fun.

I was told that it tastes like green apple,

but it doesn't, so that was a serious letdown.

These are really cool

'cause I technically only won one of these,

but when you're at the show, right when you win,

they hand you an award that's not yours yet,

'cause you get your actual award

that they engrave your name into, like, months later,

like, it comes in the mail,

but they gave me one just to hold on camera,

and I was like, yeah, I won, I was so excited,

and then I left, like, right away.

Immediately booked it for the door,

so now I have two.

They haven't asked for this one back.

It makes no sense.

I just don't think they care.

Actually, I, don't put that in,

'cause now, they're gonna be like,

oh, we do care,

and they're gonna send a SWAT team to my house.

This one's cool because it's a kaleidoscope,

and you can look through the back,

and it's, like, a proper kaleidoscope.

And then these are so incredibly heavy.

Look at this, look at this.

[table clangs]

Like, cracked my table.

It's perfect for when somebody robs me,

and now I have two of these,

one deserved, and one not, and I go [grunts]

[laughs]

I love awards so much,

and I honestly think they're kinda pointless.

Like, it's kinda weird

that people decide what is great and what's not,

so I've just, I've just been making my own awards.

TikTok of the Month, Top Content Creator.

This is, like, not a real thing.

Biggest Heart Award.

The Nicest Tush Award.

This one's nice.

This one's heavy, just like the People's Choice Award.

These are comparable.

[Natalie laughs]

My next thing that I like.

This is my Natalie.

I, honestly, one of the only models out.

This is the only Natalie.

One of one.

One of one.

Natalie's my assistant/friend/high school homie.

We dated back in high school.

No, we didn't, you always tell people we dated,

when we did not date.

Are you sure?

We went to a dance together.

Insert pic.

Natalie asked me, believe it or not,

even though I look like that.

I think she was, like, really desperate in high school.

[Natalie laughs]

You were literally my last resort.

I was her last choice.

[Natalie laughs]

But, to be honest,

that was after I made a public announcement

that I was not going to the dance,

so I already, I already eliminated all my options,

and then, since Natalie was my friend,

I was like, you know what,

I'll come out of retirement,

and I will come and join you at the turnabout.

Our favorite part of working together.

Nothing. Nonstop fun.

Oh, what the hell?

[Natalie laughs]

We're best friends.

[David chuckles]

What?

For the next item, I'd like to keep Natalie here.

It's a little surprise for you.

I can smell it already.

It's deep dish.

Now, this is really important to the both of us

'cause we're both from Chicago.

This is from Gino's East.

It's literally from Chicago.

We flew it in.

We didn't fly it in, but they just opened one here.

Ooh. Wow.

Little table for mice.

Wow, that is crazy.

It's like a commercial.

Oh my god, sorry, I forgot we were doing a video.

Shoot. [Natalie laughs]

Not even really like you're having...

Oh no, the cheese fell off.

You know, sometimes, you get moments like this.

[Natalie laughs]

Deep dish is the best

because it's not even really like pizza.

It's kind of just, like, a, like, a whole new thing.

Like pizza pie.

It's a pizza pie.

Mm-hm.

[Natalie grunts and laughs]

This is my next favorite thing.

It's my Tesla.

You get one of these when you refer,

I think when you refer two people

to buying a Tesla.

This one's, this one's pretty quick.

This one can, top speed, eight miles per hour.

Acceleration's zero to four in 65 seconds.

It has a horn.

I gotta take it into the shop.

Oh, it's not on.

[car whirs]

Oh, it is on.

This is my other favorite thing, is,

I just love black clothing.

Like, I'm obsessed with it.

I started wearing it 'cause I would sweat a lot

under my armpits, and then I switched over to black,

and you never, ever see it.

It was like a cheat code.

But now, I don't sweat under my armpits now

because I'm not, like, thinking about it constantly,

and I'm like, oh my god, I hope I don't have pit stains,

so it kinda cured me of my sweaty armpits,

so I owe a lot to black.

My entire closet's black.

Hold on, look.

Just so I'm not cheating, look at this.

I just grabbed a handful,

and it's just all black T-shirts.

It's so much easier to wear black

because it's, like, one less decision

you have to make every day.

Look at this, so cool.

And they're slimming, so you either hit the gym,

or you start wearing black.

It's pretty much a win-win.

It's like I'm being cuddled.

All these shirts are different.

I really do, my favorite shirt

is just, like, a plain black T,

but sometimes, I'll spice it up,

and I'll have, like, a crazy logo on it like this.

Like, that's nuts.

Or sometimes I'll go buttons.

I'm really unstoppable.

Oh, I have two buttons.

[chuckles]

For Saturday and Sunday.

Sometimes, my shoes will have a little bit of color.

That's where I like to mix it up.

And then, sometimes, I'll wear a blue hat.

Thank you for watching GQ.

We'll see you later.

[imitates whooshing]
