(guitar keeps playing)
Obviously, I would learn
‐how to play the guitar, but ‐(music shuts off)
I think it's a pretty achievable thing.
You are a born entertainer.
‐This is something, uh... ‐(guitar jangles) ‐Oops, sorry.
This is something we would do on the side, you know,
uh, to add to the enigmatic story that is Dave.
Just a piece of the puzzle.
Um, I think when I do that I'd like to go by
the stage name Mandemius, and potentially
(accent): I might have a British accent
if I continue to work at it
and figure it out for myself.
But I might have to take dialect lessons
in addition to the guitar, so...
Uh, how's the actual album
coming along, though, guys?
The XXL stuff just came out,
and we'd like to ride
‐that rapper momentum. ‐Mm.
And you killed that shit, by the way,
so could be a lot of traction.
Thank you.
Um, they did a good job editorially with that.
Uh, the album...
How do I want to even say this?
So I just want to say we do appreciate you guys very much.
‐The house is phenomenal. ‐Great.
‐EXEC: Our pleasure. ‐So, so nice.
I don't think we have to pussyfoot around this.
Tessa's my road dog.
(barks, chuckles)
So here's what's going on.
Penith is a bear, um,
and I'm a gorilla.
Don't get me wrong, but what I'm finding out is that
when bears and gorillas,
‐you know... you can't crossbreed all the time. ‐Mm.
I am trying to play God. I'm realizing that might be
too much hubric of me.
So I am struggling
with the behemoth that is Penith.
Uh, how much of it would you say is done, though?
‐Done done? ‐Yeah, done done. Percentage‐wise.
Done done. Uh... ♪ Dun dun dun. ♪
Um, I've got, like, four half songs
that I don't believe in at all.
So I don't even count those as a... so...
Nothing.
‐Um... ‐Zero?
Yeah. I do have six folk songs
that are incredible.
‐The wrong genre, but... ‐Um...
Especially since that album release date is
closely approaching.
How much time, like, do you think you might need?
Yeah, we might need to do a little bit of a nudge there, uh,
but if we're being conservative, I don't...
A year.
Daylight savings time has been really throwing me off
‐with the darkness. ‐TESSA: Right.
Yeah, I think we'll just focus
on some housekeeping stuff then.
Housekeeping, great. I‐I would love a housekeeper.
‐(Dave straining) ‐CAROL: A right at the top of the stairs,
and then another right.
Don't hit the sconce.
‐Don't hit the Sconce. ‐Okay, I'm not.
You have your own bathroom.
I think you're gonna like the water pressure.
DON: You know, David always took the longest showers.
MIKE: Yeah, I can imagine.
Aw, geez, I just can't believe
you got fired from that label.
Mom, I didn't get fired from a record label.
‐I don't work at a record label. ‐MIKE: No, he got evicted.
Which is much worse because it directly affects me.
It's the entertainment industry. Some people lack patience.
They don't understand what this is, fine.
The chip on my shoulder just grows larger, okay?
What is this room, by the way?
It's like a little girl's room.
‐Yeah. ‐CAROL: It's an Airbnb.
It's so naïve.
Well...
Mama, can you make me a sandwich?
Of course, sweetheart.
Do you want it in triangles? You got it.
‐DAVE: Thanks, Mama. ‐You're welcome.
(sarcastically): "Mama. Mama, will you make me some sandwiches?
"And cut it up so my baby teeth
can get through this bread, maybe?"
‐CAROL: Michael? ‐Yeah?
Would you like a sandwich?
Yeah, please.
‐CAROL: Okay. ‐Thank you.
Hey, man.
I don't think you're a failure.
I... Yeah. I don't think I'm a failure either.
Why would you‐‐ I don't‐‐
I didn't think you thought that.
Okay. Good.
(vehicle approaching)
Sorry.
I got caught on this, like,
endless FaceTime with my sister.
It was a whole thing, and...
‐Hi. ‐Hi.
‐How are you? ‐Good.
You know, a little bit of a setback.
But...
Are you having a good time
living with your favorite people again?
Uh, yeah. I feel like I'm, like, you know,
reduced to my core.
I'm back, uh, finding my roots.
Just wish it could be under less embarrassing circumstances.
It's not embarrassing, Dave.
I was literally kicked out of my house
for lack of productivity.
(chuckling) Okay, I know that you
have a very specific plan for how everything
is supposed to go, and that this is
‐not part of that, probably. ‐Mm.
But it's just a detour.
Yeah, just a detour.
Well, I guess you probably don't want
your, uh, housewarming gifts.
‐You got me gifts? ‐Yeah.
Come on. Come to my, uh, my car,
where I have the gifts located.
‐Come on. ‐Sure.
‐I'm in pursuit. ‐Yeah.
100% authentic gifts.
‐There's multiple? ‐Yeah. And this...
What‐what is this?
What is this? It's a headband for your hair.
Like you've always wanted. You're always like,
‐"Aah, my hair." ‐Am I saying that?
It was custom‐made for you. So try it on.
Okay. Huh.
Oh. Oh, my God.
‐Do I look good in this? ‐Stunning.
‐You look amazing! ‐Is this a good look?
You should be a professional fuckin' Halloween player
‐for soccer. ‐What?
And... Okay, got it.
(whoops)
This is the big one.
‐Get ready. ‐Ooh, I gotta get out of your way.
‐(laughs) Are you ready? ‐Yeah.
(exhales)
(laughs)
‐Did you really? ‐I did.
You have truly outdone yourself.
‐Yeah. ‐You have gotten me the worst gift
a man could receive.
I mean, I can't even blow up a balloon.
‐Okay. ‐You know that.
‐I did forget that you sa‐‐ ‐I can't.
But I also don't think that's true,
‐try it. ‐You think I li‐‐
Now you sound like the bullies that I had to deal with
who said, "This guy can't blow up a balloon."
I can't. I have a slack jaw.
Okay, then give it to me, and I will give it to someone
who can blow it.
That's unfair. I can use the gift any way I want.
Dave...
It's mine. I appreciate all these gifts.
You're welcome. You're welcome.
You can just Venmo me.
‐No. ‐(snorts)
You can't blame me for every raisin that you se
‐Have you guys seen my laptop anywhere? ‐We both eat raisins.
‐I haven't seen it. ‐I'm not blaming you for every raisin,
‐just these three. ‐Yeah, and what, do they have my name on it?
‐(rap music playing) ‐What are you doing?
DON: What about that cashew?
Please get off of my laptop.
I was listening to the records
that you made this past year.
‐(music shuts off) ‐No, Dave, you can't keep me
in the dark anymore, man.
This is none of your business.
This is literally my only business.
At least let me try and help you.
You're not even in the right folder.
Okay, well, where do I go?
"Penith possibilities."
"Penith poss‐‐"
‐Possibilities. ‐I get it.
There's no organization to this. You're playing stuff at random.
Okay, what's‐what's "Me Too"?
‐"Me Too" is a radical... ‐Let's hear it.
♪ You wanna cuddle in my bed? Me, too ♪
♪ Are you on board to have sex? Me, too ♪
♪ Oh, you came? Oh, me, too! ♪
♪ Do you use shampoo? Me, too ♪
♪ Do you fuck with movies? Me, too ♪
♪ Do you wanna fuck? Oh, yeah, me, too ♪
♪ Ooh, respectfully. ♪
‐(music off) ‐Okay, do you know what's going on
‐right now in the world? ‐Yeah, what? I don't...
‐I don't think it's a good idea. ‐I just think that's, like,
the worst thing you could ever have thought.
Yeah, I don't like it.
Okay, what about "Jenkum"?
‐What is "Jenkum"? ‐Ooh.
It's a sweet spot in my heart. Jenkum is, uh,
when you take shit and you put it in a plastic bag...
‐Okay, that's enough. ‐...and you let it ferment.
‐And you huff it, and you... ‐I don't need to hear it.
What about "Ally's Song"?
Is that a real thing? Because if it is,
‐we should put it out immediately. ‐No, that's in the wrong folder.
‐It's "Ally's Song," and it's not even in the right...
Oh, well, then, I want to hear it.
You don't need to hear it. Please don't.

Certainly not wife material.
You haven't met anyone you're interested in?
No, nobody swept me off my feet yet.
David, you got to stop talking
about being swept off your feet.
That's easy for you to say, Mom. You stumbled into perfection
in a man named Don. Like, if I could meet
‐a female Don, then it'd be perfect. ‐Wait, no...
‐That's magic, that guy. ‐Hang on.
We met, we were compatible and the timing was right.
That's all I want! What do you mean?
I want to be walking down the street and, like,
see a woman walk out of a Barnes & Noble.
David... Uncle Doug set us up
because I was fat and your dad liked fat women,
‐but it wasn't magical. ‐What?
We became best friends and he makes me laugh every day
and... that's, that's all I need.
Well, that sounds magical, what do you mean?

‐Fine, I'll watch upstairs. ‐CAROL: No, wait!
‐No, do not watch it without us, no. ‐Don't watch it without us.
This is your cousin, she wants to know
why you haven't texted her.
My phone is off.
‐Well, turn your phone on and... ‐DON: Okay.
‐and text her back, Don! ‐DON: All right.
‐God! ‐Hey.
‐Oh, my God. ‐Don't be so mean to Don.
Do you know how many times I've asked him
not to turn his phone off? He's completely incapable.
It's driving me nuts.
Well, that's what you're here for.
‐You got to take care of him. ‐Yeah, no kidding.
I‐I haven't shown you...
the photos from Egypt.
Oh, no, you haven't, but I've heard a lot
about the Gizan air, so I can really picture it
very vividly, honestly.
‐Sure. ‐I'm just drained right now.
That's fine, you know what,
I'm gonna go ahead and say good night.
Oh, that's great. SportsCenter is on right now.

Wasn't it, like, your dream to be a lawyer forever?
Well, I just wanted to be happy.
I never cared how I got there.

At the end of the day, my success is yours.

Dave, I...
I‐I've just been thinking a lot...
No, Dave, I'm...
I spent a lot of time and a lot of work
to get over us.
And I've moved on.
And you're back in my life, and we're friends.
And I don't want to lose that, either, but...
I'm...
I can't.
No.
It's just a song.
This wasn't...
‐Yeah. ‐Oh, my God.
It's‐‐ I should've, uh... clarified.
‐No, you said you... ‐I know. Ah...
‐...wanted to talk, and it's... ‐Yeah.
I didn't‐‐ I‐‐ Sorry.
So, like, I obviously tapped into, like, feelings
and, you know, of wanting to be back with your ex.
‐Right. ‐Right. Sorry. Uh...
And I just know that I haven't always taken
your feelings into account, like, for our whole,
your know, in terms of my music.
So I just wanted you to hear that, and, um...
That's all.
'Cause I want to put it on my album,
and I didn't want you to be blindsided.
And I wanted your...
So, that's all that was.
‐I'm sorry for the... ‐No. I'm sorry.
‐Okay. Sure. ‐And thank you.
I will say, if I'm being honest,
I'm not ready for everyone to hear this song.
I'm sorry.
‐I know you worked really hard on it, and it is good. ‐(chuckles)
Uh, yeah, okay.
Why?
There's a lot of personal stuff in here, Dave.
‐That's music. That's like‐‐ ‐And there's a lot of things about me.
And people know that you and I dated.
‐It's, like, a privacy thing, and... ‐People? Who?
What people? Like, the 15 friends that we‐‐
‐I don't understand. ‐I don't need your Instagram fans
‐(groans) ‐having more of a reason to harass me also, and...
Instagram? You're worried about Instagram?
I'm sorry, but it's so hard for me to make music.
I finally have something that I like,
and you're not allowing me to do it because of Instagram?
‐That's like... ‐So...
you're taking my feelings into account,
unless you don't have my permission?
‐I'm ju‐‐ Like. ‐And then you're gonna do whatever.
If‐if art couldn't tap into, like, personal feelings
and, like, nuanced emotions about, like, past experiences,
like, there wouldn't be art, you know?
Don't you know what I'm saying?
I don't know. I mean, we can talk about it more,
or not, it's just...
Whatever.
Let's just watch the show.

I'm just gonna go.
