The Casey Neistat Interview

[@thebrandonvu]

God I love your interviews, first 7 minutes in and you've asked Casey a question getting him to talk about something in a way he's never spoken about it before. Jon you're a master of your craft.

[@youshaei]

Appreciate you Brandon! Felt like I’ve been prepping for this one for years haha

[@jazz2020]

It's never going to be released unfortunately

By not releasing the doc, casey thinks he is protecting his non existent friendship with david at the cost of justice.

[@AndyWhyte_]

This is the interview we all wanted and needed! 15 mins in and I feel like I am seeing a new layer to Casey.

[@MattQuilliec]

Same here. This is gold!

[@MattQuilliec]

The quality of your questions makes it one of the best Casey’s interview I’ve watched so far.

[@youshaei]

Thanks Matt! So glad to hear that, soo many hours of prep and research

[@MattQuilliec]

@ I bet! Well, congrats again!

[@kotamundaca3398]

Happy to hear what Casey has been up to, i haven't seen his content in well over a year. It just rubs me the wrong way the fact that Casey isn't sure about sharing the documentary when, in one way or another, the victim had to re-live the experience by talking to him, watching the film and having whatever involvement she had in it (idk the extent) just because he "still deeply loves and cares about David" is crazy. He said it himself, they trusted him to share their story and it ended up in a dark corner of Casey's storage device... i really hope he decides to share it, because David's behavior is unacceptable and he needs to be held accountable, even more so after what happened to Jeff....

[@jessehutchinson7539]

these are some great points and makes a strong argument that not releasing the documentary is disrespectful to those who participated.

this was single-handedly one of the best podcasts I’ve ever watched. Casey is such a class act guy.

[@bionicbeal]

Fantastic interview! Casey's authenticity and storytelling are unmatched - completely captivating.

[@MrTonydeMatos]

The problem with Casey and Israel is the fact that he showed support for IDF (by supporting Eylon Levy in his Instagram on March 2024), not just the Jewish cause. IDF is politics. So no point in saying in the video that you do not understand Israel politics and then supporting its major policy enforcer. The problem with Gaza now is not anti-semitism. What Israel been doing for decades is ethnic cleansing, invading territory and disrupting Palestianian chances of creating a viable state by supporting radical extremism (it is well documented Israel's involvement in the creation of Hamas). So by waving his little flag by the window, what he is actually doing is supporting a right-wing government, with two radical ministers (Yoav Galant and Bezalel Smotrich) that want to cleanse the Palestinian people and exert territorial dominion in the area, with the support of the US and British forces. For someone with such reach, Casey needs to study a bit more.

[@ArielBenabraham]

The IDF if responsible for for protecting almost 10 million Israeli citizens which also includes 2+ million Arab Israeli citizens... He didnt even mention the IDF in this video get a grip.

[@coldpotatoes9687]

The Israel funded Hamas talking point is so dumb. They gave funds to Hamas before it was a militarized group in hopes of replacing the PLO who didn't look like they had any plans of coming to peace. Saying Hamas is the radical extremist group that pushed Palestinians over even though they had been occupied for half a century already is stupid, Israel funding Hamas didn't really change much.

[@tedtalksrock]

Wonderful quote and extremely inspirational.

[@djwavepad420]

But we can all agree that Casey is the one that made the vlog more cinematic than it was before him it was just like documenting your day-to-day life and with him. Casey introduced storytelling Drone footage time lapse stuff that you would normally see in a movie different transitions different angles that is why people watched it and it wasn't like Charles Trippy the Shaytards these video creators that were just holding a camera in front of their face saying hey I'm going to go eat McDonald's and then the next clip would be him at McDonald's eating Casey took it a step further. And made the vlogs super cinematic

[@TADAA-]

Exactly

[@raghavramaiah]

So happy to see Casey somewhere on the internet again.

[@jarretcannon]

So good at not interrupting. Loved this interview.

[@JeffreyArts]

Him not publishing the documentary on David Dobrick is an extrapolation of his stance on Israel. It's his love for Dobrick/Israel that he doesn't want to hold them truly accountable for the injustice done via their actions. In both scenario's he expresses that he values both sides "equally", but by doing so, it only empowers the party that is in the more powerful position. It doesn't help the suppressed party. Wether these are the victims of David Dobrick's actions, or the Palestinians that are being de-humanised by the state of Israel.

[@GillesBoyne]

This is the first time I see an interview of Casey where someone is really taking the time to understand him and leave space to unroll his thoughts instead of pushing him to explain things to reproduce. Thanks

[@kylaloas2926]

Didnt he attack a waiter in a coffee shop for wearing a pin cause his wife took offence?

[@kylaloas2926]

[@youshaei]

Thank you! And by out of context summary at start, do you mean the intro? Or my first question about the vlog? Tried to give context by sharing the metrics so curious to hear your thoughts, always looking to improve

[@alexfu7329]

@youshaei The intro. Exactly. Sorry. Yes you did indeed 👌

[@PiratedSardar]

What I’m curious about is what does he do alone in his office everyday. Did he mention anything about that?

In another video he mentioned he spends a lot of time there tinkering and building things, including building things for the office.

[@DOSTmain]

It’s tough to see Casey being so clearly capable of understanding nuance and context - up until the conversation of Palestine in which he limits his ability to do that - which is captured in the moment where he says “I don’t understand Israeli politics…we’ve had really bad presidents too”. Although he believes in the self determination of Palestinians (which is great). He simultaneously disregards the conversation that is at the core of the issue for folks that are pro-palestine. I hope he sees that part of the conversation through eventually.

[@TheOnlyAtalya]

When did the state of Palestine exist?

[@colinstu]

Funny how Casey is trying to appear/act rational yet spews out fake out stuff like anti-israel rally. It's this exact ear-covering angry-shouting stuff that he's complaining about that he's doing himself with calling them "them" and hiding behind his flag in his expensive studio. He doesn't have any interest in actually listening. How can he be proud to be so ignorant, doesn't "even know" what Bibi is up to and the millions he's displaced / killed / ruined lives / futures etc. This interview fell flat on its face w/letting Casey just steamroll over w/his BS. It's this blind following/support of heritage that continues these stupid hate wars forever. He can be critical of the leaders of israel and still support the country. If he thinks not then - I don't want that nationalistic support/thinking anywhere near me.

[@mubikishore]

This is a really great pod!! i've watched every pods of casey.. but I love how this one is not repitative.

The end was a fire🔥🔥🔥! Love it. This is one of the reasons I always say, "A lot of people are going to make money and go buy Ferraris, Lamborghinis or Yates, which is nothing wrong to do. But nothing better than having your life together and buying yourself the freedom to be yourself. Brutally honest can save the world, honestly. Thank you, Casey, for your amazing work
