[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 XXLstuff
just came out,

and we'd like to ride

-that rapper momentum.
-Mm.

And you k*lled that sh*t,
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.

Penithis 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 hubricof me.

So I am struggling

with the behemoth
that is Penith.

Uh, how much of it
would you say is done, though?

-Donedone?
-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 naiïve.

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.

% 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
f*ckin' 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. Yeah.

-I did forget that you sa--
-I can't.

But I also don't think
that's true,

-Dave.
-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 see.

-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?

"Penithpossibilities."

"Penithposs--"

-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 f*ck with movies?
Me, too♪

♪ Do you wanna f*ck?
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 sh*t 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.

It's-- That's good.
Dave, that's good.

I mean, it's different. It's
like nothing I've ever heard

-you make before.
-Yeah.

I didn't know you even
did stuff like that.

I-- It's not a Lil Dicky song.
It's-- I don't...

No, it's not a Lil Dicky song
because you don't mention

your penis the entire time.

This is great to be different
and to try new stuff.

I hear you,
and I'm happy you like it,

but it's definitely not, like,
the type of thing

-that's going on Penith.
-Well, it should.

It should be on the album,

-because you have
to show growth.
-No, M...

And I think that's huge.
And also,

it's nice to acknowledge that
you're still in love with Ally.

-I mean...
-Uh, no.

People love breakup songs.

That was the impetus of that.

So I experimented in the lane,

tapped into emotion--
it's not that...

-Mm.
-I love Ally as a friend, but...

there won't be a breakup song
with my wife.

-I'll tell you that much.
-Okay. Yeah, well...

Sounds like you've got this
whole life thing figured out.

"Jenkum" it is.

Hey, honey, dinner's in .

All right,
I'm gonna shower real quick.

David, you don't have time.

You just said dinner was in .

-Please don't be late.
-Okay.



CAROL:
Milk or seltzer?

Uh, seltzer's good.

CAROL:
You got it.

[vocalizing]

Did you get in touch
with the doctor?

I left a message.

And they said he'd call me back.

And he didn't call me back.

Well, that happened yesterday,
also.

I know, they don't
call you back here.

-I don't understand.
-But, honey,
you need to stay on it.

-You're late for dinner.
-What, stay on the phone?

-Or...?
-I'm seconds late, Mom...

One second late for dinner
is still late for dinner.

You know I had a single request.
You always do this.

I mean, if I were
always seconds late,

wouldn't that,
by definition, make me

an incredibly punctual
human being?

He's good-- that's a good point.

-Give it to me, give it to me.
-He's good!

-Very good, very good. What?
-Thank you.

What? I'm just saying the guy's
had a pretty rough week.

-Yeah.
-Fine, you two win.

Be late forever.
Look what I made for you.

DAVE:
And then I just press yes or no.

And then a new,
gorgeous woman comes on.

-And... yeah.
-CAROL [laughs]: Oh, my God!

DAVE:
And you press this and it shows
different pictures and...

Are they all in their underwear?

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?

It's a rags-to-riches story--

you were overweight
and Don came in,

-and he dominated...
-Hey.

You want to watch
the Schitt's Creek?

-Don, do you see...
-Sure.

...that we're in the middle
of a conversation?

-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.
SportsCenteris on right now.

-This is perfect timing, Mama.
-Perfect.

I love you.
I'll see you in the morning.

Real funny, Mama--
come back here and kiss me

-good night on my cheek,
come on.
-[laughs]

-Never.
-Are you out of your mind?
Yeah, right in the middle.

-Okay, that wasn't
right in the middle.
-That was...

I need you to focus.
It was a little off-center.

I'd like it right in the middle.

-Thanks, Mama.
-You're welcome.

-I love you.
-I love you.

David, you're open.

Huh?

You're open. You're...

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Okay, I didn't see much.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

-Do people buy belts?
-No.

I know I'm here for hoodies,
but, like, maybe I need a belt.

No, you don't.

You have a great selection.

Just pick something,
don't obsess. Dad'll pay for it.

-Okay, you're leaving?
-I-- Yes.

-I've got stuff to do.
-Be safe! Be safe! Be safe!

All right.
Don, text me when you're done.

-Okay.
-[quietly]: Don't die.

So this is why you retire,
am I right?

I don't know
how you gave it up, Big D.

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.

You know, when you think about
it, my legacy is your legacy.

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

So, like, we're gonna be
covered, I hope you know that.

Yeah, okay.

[exhales]

You are the cutest man
in the world.

-[chuckles] Thanks.
-You look like

a turtle without its shell
and I marvel

-at your physical grace.
-I like turtles.

And you got to wake up.
I got a surprise for you, Mama.

-What are you talking about?
-You'll see,

-Oh, honey...

My dear, sweet mama,
I will be taking care of you.

-Close your eyes, by the way.

-Mm-hmm, yep.

Am I a punk?

-Come on, Mama.
-Oh, my God, David,
what did you do?

-You're about to find out.

to my tapes
and I saw him making it,

but I'm probably
just as surprised as you are.

-A little bit of wine.
-Very elegant.

Yeah, learned it from the best.
I'm gonna put the fireplace on.

He's just trying
to create a romantic...

-No, what he's trying to do,
-...dinner.

but I was sleeping...

Oh, my God.
You have sauce all over you.

-Wipe that off.
-All right, all right.

Well, you know,
why do you throw things

-at me like that?
-[stammering]

-Does that feel good?
-I was trying to help.

-[overlapping arguing]
-Guys,

I'm not watching
you guys bicker anymore.

David, we've been married
for years. It's normal, okay?

Well, when you do it
in front of me,

it makes me sad.

Oh, for God's sake.

Grow up.
You're almost years old.

Stop being so selfish.

What are you talking...

-[Carol sighs]
-How am I being selfish

if I just made you
your favorite dinner?

-I don't understand.
-My-my favorite dinner?

-Yeah, company chicken,
-Company chicken?

-and I spent so much time.
-I don't...

I don't like company chicken,
David.

-You make it every single time
company comes over.
-I make it for you

because you love it.
I make it for you, not me.

Well,
how am I supposed to know that?

You sit there
and you eat it every time.

And I still am
failing to realize

how me making you a whole meal
is me being selfish.

-Explain that.
-Oh, my God, David!

You just woke me up.

You brought me down here
and did all of this.

That was not for me.
That was for you.

-It was for you guys.
-That was...

David, that was for you, because
you wanted to feel better.

I wanted to show you pictures
from Egypt,

but you weren't interested.

-Oh, my God. Egypt?
-You had other things to do.

You came down late for dinner.
I asked you...

-I was seconds late!
-You wanted to take a shower,

-Jesus Christ!
-so you were late.

Everything's a f*cking issue
with you!

-David, that's enough.
-No, Dad. Like,
she's always riding you.

It's, like, nonstop with her.

I said enough!
Okay? Sit down.

Okay.

Don't talk to your mother
like that.

You-you have no idea
what she does for us.

Between moving to a new city
and taking on new clients,

my depression
and you staying here with us,

uh, you have no idea,
David. None.

Whoa, whoa. What do you mean,
your depression?

-Oh.
-What does that mean?

Well, it's-it's--
Well, sometime...

Your father has depression,
David.

Since when?

Forever.

Look, my mother
was depressed, too,

so maybe it's hereditary,
I don't know.

-But... but...
-This is--

Why would you never
tell me this?

You never asked.

-[sniffles]
-DON: Well, what?



[whimpers]

[sobbing]

DON:
Dave...

[crying]

Wh-- Why is he crying?

David, what is it?

David?

Come on.

[crying]:
I don't even know
anything about you.

[inhales sharply]

I-I don't even know, like,
what you think about,

or what your
favorite colors are, or...

I know nothing.
I'm a bad son.

-DON: No.
-Oh.
-Yes, I am.

How could you argue with that?
What do you mean?

I don't even know
he's depressed. He's my dad.

I think your favorite food is
my favorite food.

I'm a f*cking idiot.

[sniffles]

I feel like if you guys d*ed,

I wouldn't even know
what to say at your funeral.

[sniffles loudly]

Oh...

Uh, we're not...
we're not gonna...

-We're not gonna die.
-You can't die.

-[crying]
-DON: We're not dying, David.

Mine's tan.

What?

My favorite color.

It's tan.

-No, it's not.
-It is.

-[chuckles]
-It's tan.

You're the only person
in the, in the world

-whose favorite color is tan.
-[laughs]

Well, then, I'm very special.

-Like you are.
-Well, I agree, you are special,

and I'll paint
my whole abdomen tan.

-[laughs]
-I'll do anything you want.

And I love you so much.

I love you, too, David.

Can I have a bite
of the chicken?

"Making mud pies, ?"

[both laughing]

[laughing]: Thank you.
You really do that so well.

DON:
Ha! Getting better.

CAROL:
[laughs] Come sit down.

ALLY:
Do you want a drink?

-Um...
-Oh, Accutane.

No, but I can have...
I can have one.

-You can have one.
-I haven't had one in so long.

-You can have one, right?
-Pour it on.

-It's Bachelornight. Come on.
-Yeah, let's go.

I'm actually very excited
to see what's going on

with Chloe's journey.

Because she's just
so mysterious,

I don't know what's going
on with her.

-Yeah.
-You know, she's such an enema.

An enema?

-Uh, enigma?
-Enigma.

-Yeah.
-Enigma.

I think an enema is, like,
a catheter for your ass.

-Enigma, enigma, enigma, enigma.
-[laughs]

-Enigma. God.
-I hate that that f*cking thing
makes me laugh every time,

-[chuckles]
-but it-it really does.

I am the Chris Farley
of my school.

I know.

-[Clears throat] Okay.
-Uh, hey.

Before this,
can I play you a song?

[chuckles]:
You play me a song?

-Yeah, I have this thing, um...
-Yeah.

Uh, like, I showed it
to Mike earlier,

-and he really liked it,
and I, uh...
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Here. Yep. There.

-Those are for the ears.
-Okay.

-Um..
-Fancy.

And, uh, there's a l--

like, a lot I want to say
about it to you...

-Okay.
-...that I will say
after you listen.

Okay.

-Ready?
-Yes.

-Okay.
-[clears throat]

[music plays faintly]

Ooh, I like the music.

♪ I f*cked the whole thing up♪

And there you are.

-♪ I did it all backwards♪
-Yep.

♪ Now I'm all alone
with my rap verse♪

♪ I could barely share
a password♪

♪ I said we'd dance,
I left you there♪

♪ Oh, I left me there, too♪

♪ You had my back,
I puked on you♪

♪ I chased my dream
so much it ran♪

♪ I can't make jokes
without your laugh, it seems♪

♪ I'd do anything to melt you♪

♪ I took you for granted♪

♪ I'll give you belly rubs,
too♪

♪ Did you like the rabbit?♪

♪ It's k*lling me to k*ll you♪

♪ And you were the magic, but
I f*cked the whole thing up♪

-[sniffles]
-♪ I did it all backwards♪

-[cries]
-♪ Not I'm all alone
with my rap verse♪

-♪ You were the best
at my worst♪
-[chuckles]

♪ And I miss you, Ally♪

♪ Hoot-hoot...♪

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 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.

[TV playing faintly]

I'm just gonna go.

[door opens]

[door slams shut]



♪ I knew when I saw you♪

♪ From your car♪

♪ From the start I had to feel
your heart race♪

♪ The hardest place
to get a drink in L.A.♪

♪ I was late,
but as fate would have it♪

♪ We fell in love♪

♪ I was me,
and now I'm us♪

♪ And I don't know
where to go from here♪

♪ I'll brave the storm
I caused.♪
