Casey Neistat on Abandoning Social Media, Using Anger, & More (Ep. 8 A Conversation With) 

Welcome Casey back to the podcast! Who would you like to see next??

I would love to see Julien Solomita on the show.

I'd personally love to see pewdiepie and shane dawson on this conversation with

This conversation episode is my favorite so far. Casey has always struck me as vastly intelligent and creative and his humour is brilliant. I really respect Casey for sharing his opinion on sharing his kids with social media. I have three amazing bonus kids (step kids) and I have never and will never share them on social media in any way. They should never have to go through life losing the upper hand to strangers.

I have never related to anyone more than Casey ranting about maple syrup. 🇨🇦

Looove hearing these two talk. They challenge but compliment eachother. I have grown up with youtube as many others have and to pick the brain of two experienced, influential and vastly different individuals is awesome. This platform is changing so much. Hopefully somewhat for the better

Two of the people in this industry I respect very much. Looking forward to this conversation!

Maybe he should have pursued the “real maple syrup” company; rather than the Resturant for trusting their labeling..,,

Going through the same idea with my content. I've walked away heavily and now I'm reassessing my angle and life and thinking of what I want to create next for the greater good of the world ♥️🥰♥️🥰

I'm about 30 minutes in, but I love you Casey, and I'm glad you took some time to relax. As a fan, I'll be super excited when you decide to release new content. But again, enjoy your wife and girls

The point when Casey speaks on the prevention of keeping his experience to himself is extremely important and I wish we all did that

It's nice to hear from Casey how the vlogging effects everything. I personally too have a hard time taking pictures or video when I'm out doing personal things because it's always about the video and not experiencing where you are. I love looking back on thoes moments but I'm either in the moment or not.

0:00 is when the video starts

I honestly can't fathom why this interview doesn't have millions of views it is exceptionally brilliant. Great job Phil.

That extra 20 minutes was gold, thank you for doing what you do and sharing so many amazing perspectives!

I totally get where Casey is coming from. I’d prefer 1 quality video a year from him than many that are detrimental to his personal life. He is a talented filmmaker so he doesn’t have anything to worry about. Great pod/video Phil 🤘🏻🎥 🎙

I totally get what Casey meant by enjoying not sharing those special moments. It makes them feel more valuable and private.

Like a proud father, I have watched Casey evolve and am grateful for this update on his life. I am curios, however, as to the fate of 368.

The appeal of Casey editing is! For me the little imperfections. Like a good garage band he edits like he unwraps packages and I love it

Casey your intelligence was always what made you and your vlogs worth my time. Thoroughly enjoyed your perspective.

It's crazy to look back and know that I stopped watching him on RU-vid when he made the deal with CNN. I felt that he was no longer doing it for the right reason. I saw the toxicity of daily vlogging, and I didnt want my one view to contribute to that. Am glad he quit.

As someone who’s seriously scared/thinking about starting a RU-vid channel, I love hearing creators talk about their experiences and giving advice, this was amazing ❤️

Since when did Phil wanna end the PDS in 2020?!? Ahhh what will I do with my life. Been watching since 2011

I got my first phone at 9, which was young (but I used it because I went to a school far away from home, alone). And the only thing I used it for was snake and texting it. I can’t imagine how it would have been if I could have the internet on it. I didn’t get a phone with internet until 15 years old, and I’m glad I was that age. I deal with kids that are 10/11/12 with phones with Instagram, youtube, tik tok and you can see how toxic it is on their confidence. They care SO MUCH about what people think.

The part at the end talking about what it means to have success of be successful is super powerful and needs to be talked about more!! Thanks for the great show!

I'am glad that you talk about burnout... At the time I was 27, and I just hit the wall... I was a theater-producer... So 12 to 16 hour days, 7 days á week.... One day I just wasn't able to get out my bed.I tried but It was like being held down by a forcefield... I got better but for years I couldn't even go to a show, I was just thinking about work, though I really couldn't work..... Now I'm almost at the point, that I could work at the same level.But I Will never again... Today I'm a Producer, light-tech and a caretaker of an old prestegious theatherstage... I just want everyone to feel that the future, is in the future. What ever crap you take (don't take crap unnecessarily!) It'll get better!

Would love to see Casey start “Podcasting” with guests like this.

Him talking about maple syrup is me as a Canadian. ❤️🇨🇦😂

speaking on not putting your kids on your channel, or placing them in situations where they have no ability say they don't want to appear, If you're old enough to remember MTV's The Osbournes -- there were one or two kids who decided to opt out on being that reality show. They wanted to live their own lives. Good for Casey being self aware enough to "Forward Thinking" about how that would effect them. kudos

This was brilliant; thank you, Phil and Casey!

I am so glad you post these onto RU-vid. I find the conversations intriguing and knowledge building.

Phil! You do what you need to do. Quit whenever you want and vlog eating cereal once a month and we will be here for you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

God, I love listening to Casey talk. Phil you're ok.... but more Casey - thanks.

Loved this conversation! Great for any creator to hear. About podcasts on RU-vid : now going into season 3 we have had creators big and small and celebrities like Michael Price and Don Jamieson etc. for a sit down LIVE talk / podcast / interview. The abilty to have a conversation with a guest as well as the audience (in the chat) at the same time makes it interactive and appealing both for a guest and a viewer listener. Thank you for motivation.

Loved this! Thanks, Phil!

35:30 "A genre that has long since faded away" - Casey Neistat on the fading popularity of daily vlogs

This podcast was great to listen to guys! Thank you for sharing some real, personal conversations with us. This was great to listen to while I get ready for my next vlog.

1:20:26 That statement makes so many sence.. like... he came back with the videos... everybody was anxious to watch his videos again and my feed on youtube started do show his old videos and I watched a bunch of them again... like.. he came back with brand new content and also gain a lot of views in old videos..

Casey, regardless of the frequency of the vlog, you’ll always have fans that follow you and your endeavours for your character, not the structure of your channel. Love you both.

39:33 Casey advice: Do your unique thing. Do not make the photocopy of the photocopy.

0:32 is such a pure moment of friendship.

Love the honesty. Great advice no matter what size creator you are.

I loved this interview. Thank you. I especially appreciated when Casey talked about how it's important for the long run to take care of yourself and your familly, not just about work.

What an amazing piece of RU-vid magic. So many gems of wisdom in this conversation that felt more real than most of the big newsroom interviews you watch on TV. Much love and respect to Casey for sharing himself in a way that was both motivational and practical. I've been toying with the idea of starting a RU-vid channel...after watching this show I feel encouraged/inspired to take the next step. Thank you!

Love both of you guys one of my dreams was to see you too work together as a news company with Casey being the on field guy and Philip being the info fact news guy very happy you guys had this convo thanks ;)

The shape of caseys head/hair almost lines up perfectly with the light fixture behind him.

This conversation is full of love and respect for each other. How things have moved on Phil & Casey talking about child care etc. The scene would be better if they where both sat next to a open fire with slippers on maybe next time (fast forward 2025 both of them talking about the good olé days of 2015)

Get Joe Rogan / Doctor Mike / Scott Harrison (Founder of Charity Water) / Elon Musk on this podcast!

Phil 1st time watching - you’re fantastic and your sound crew is killer . Nice job.

Yeah, I think you (Casey), did the right thing by NOT publishing the video about the maple syrup. I'm learning that unless it's a corporation, and someone who can afford to lose customers, it's better to keep it to yourself. I have been wronged so many times. Yet, i am careful to call out individuals who might lose their job. Times are tough. I had an ex -boyfriend who ran a popular family owned restaurant in LA. HAD to cut corners at times. Especially if he had an employee quit on him. That meant he'd be out shopping for veggies hours before dinner and he couldn't always get the best of the best. Glad you listened to yourself!! Good call.😊

this guy has more depth than one would assume, I love his energy.

Casey was right about the podcast I love ❤️ them! They have been increasing in popularity for the last two years. An hour or longer format of intimate conversations gets the listener an insight into different topics and people

Where or when can I purchase those rouge rocket coffee mugs

So glad to see Casey, miss him on You Tube. Phil I love your show !

Every single subscriber to Casey's channel should watch this video. At last, he speaks his heart in length.

I really enjoyed this conversation! Thanks Phil and Casey!

Where have I been this whole time? Phil had a podcast channel? I never knew that. Damn

One wheels are horrible to ride in the city! Saw some genius in Sydney sneeze and accidentally ride one off a sidewalk into traffic. Nothing happened but their near death experience didn’t even phase them.

OMG! Casey sounds so good with studio mic and rest of podcast sound magic.

My favorite episode yet. This conversation is top notch

Anyone know what the crime app is they're referencing? Loved this convo btw.

I had a sitter when I was little and I’m friends with her now she formed so much of me and my brothers childhood sitters are the best

What’s the name of the police scanner app they were talking about?

You know it's interesting one of the people that I never hear mentioned when people are talking about other famous RU-vidrs is Lucas Cruikshank AKA Fred

Has Casey never heard or watched David Rubin and the Rubin report? I’ve been following him since Phil went on the show because I found the format interesting, and also a way to hear different perspectives. Definitely agree with the predictions about genre changing to more audio content with visual as the extra content. Personally I find the facial reactions and gestures made during conversations to be very telling. As someone who can’t always be watching something but wanting to hear the content, so having a podcast element is great for when I want to pick up content.

Thank you both for the fantastic conversation.

Worth to watch. Always a big fan of Casey Neistat. Such a courageous person.

I'd stick around if you took 1, 2 , 3 even 6 months off of the PDS, I'd be upset but as long as you told us that your taking a break I'd just be happy and ready to watch when you can back

Too bad there weren't any questions about: beme/ 368/ couples theraphy podcast.

Super fantastic, smart, authentic conversation.

Its the same for an artist YTer going to do a video about seeing an art museum vs. the old way of going and enjoying it as it enrolls. The experience is completely different. You really don't enjoy the show even after you film it and then walk the show without filming. You just missed that initial surprise and enjoyment. You get to enjoy it only once as a virgen vs. making a show.

This is awesome! My two favorite RU-vidrs.

Hi Casey, You are right, crime is high in LA. That's why everyone lives in Orange County and commute to LA when they need too. I recommend Laguna Beach

Good shit! My two favorite people in one small enclosed set dialoguing

Where do they mention Jeff Wittek?

Still waiting on the Maple Syrup video!

Listening thru an extremely decent audio system. Those SM7B's sound great!

happy for you, Casey -- you gave us everything for a while, and we loved it. Real fans will wait for your return, in whatever form it takes. Enjoy your life and beautiful family. You've earned it.

says I don't have a job but gets a nanny anyway, interesting.

love seeing this side of you casey, thank you for sharing. Baz

Does Casey think Vlogging is fading away? I wasn't clear on what he meant.

As a french Canadian I totally understand the frustration over "real" maple syrup. You don't get to f*ck with my maple syrup, especially when I'm paying 15$ CAD for a waffle.

Listening to Casey yell about maple syrup made my day because as a New Englander I feel the exact same way about the false advertising of it

RU-vidrs think way too much of themself. If you don't post a Video, people may notice it. But it is not like people constantly going trough their Subs List and just delete youtuber just because they haven't posted anything. If you post a Video 2 months later, it is like nothing has changed because again, the video will appear in their Playlist. They will treat it like they treated it every time before. This is actually one huge benefit of youtube against TV.

You are in LA :) ?

Yessssss!!! My two favorite youtubers together, once again!!! 😊👍

I'm gonna start calling my uploaded videos "Movies"...

Hey Phil. Just FYI, you seemed to talk over and cut off Casey quite a bit, even when his final thoughts were slowing down and he didn’t quickly explain it, you might have been trying to carry the conversation but it came about as a little talking over. Long time steak and jet ski fund watcher lol, so just giving a little feedback. Thanks for all you do.

Very very good chat.

I'm liking it so far (about 2 min in) but I think the audio might be a bit out of balance. The bass seems waaaay too high. I'm still gonna watch the video. .. . but I thought I should mention it.

Great show thank you for this

Excellent audio due to the use of a Radio broadcast processor. It gives this clear sound, no matter the microphone. A good broadcast processor is used on most radios and TVs. And they´re very expensive as well.

casey is so well versed

I really enjoyed the maple syrup rant. Quality content right there.

me missing casey's vlogs then telling us about burned out 😫

Not the biggest Casey Neistat fan but this was totally interesting!

Love you guys! Casey take your time. I'll be here when you come back!

I'd be pretty upset not getting real maple syrup, especially being Canadian.

didnt know you have a podcast

I hire a nanny and I don’t do dishes lol 😂 what a lot of BS ...
