And maybe, you know,

we're talking about it now

and I'll talk

about it with Josh

as soon as I get a chance.

I wouldn't tell Josh

about it, I think,

because we're

on thin ice here.

There's only four of us.

No one showed up.

It's just that he's hurting

and he's been going

through a lot

and now

I'm hurting, too,

and I feel like we sort of

are going to relate

to each other

in a way that

i don't expect you to get.

Let's not compare

the hurt of a break-up

or whatever it is

with what joshy

went through.

Okay, so everybody gets one

of these character cards.

And I'm now going

to go into the attack

and defending portion.

You ready?

"Attack abilities

and attacking a monster.

The type of symbol

shows whether it is

a melee ability

or a ranged attack

ability."

Uh, yes. Adam,

i have a question.

Is it-- okay,

i can answer it

because I think I know

what you're going to say.

- What?

- If you're wondering

why the part on the bottom

of your figurine

is an octagon

and it's standing

on a hexagonal shape

that connects

to the center one,

I promise you

we're going to

get to that

- very, very shortly.

- Was that your question?

That was not my question.

Here's my question.

Should we be playing

this game right now?

- Yeah, definitely, 100%.

- Yeah.

Eric;

Can I just pose

another option?

We go out tonight,

we go to this bar

the lone Angus.

I've done a bunch of research

on yelp and trip advisor.

It's a fun local bar.

It's, like, divey,

but not too divey.

Maybe the time

to go to the bar

would be, I don't know,

tomorrow afternoon

for happy hour

or something,

when, you know,

it's light out

and they have the windows open

and the drinks are cheaper.

What's the deal with you

and the windows open at a bar?

It's just nice

to get that bar smell

wafting out a little bit.

Okay, let's say we go

to the bar tonight,

have some drinks,

mellow, nothing crazy.

Come back here,

wake up in the morning,

we're sitting

around the table,

we are ready to settle in

to a full game.

Josh:

Well, just to be clear,

Adam and I have been

coveting this game

for quite some time.

We even actually

helped crowd fund it.

We just opened it

tonight.

Right, or we could

go to the bar,

and if the bar

is not cool,

then we could

just come back here

and play tonight.

I mean, how fun would that be?

Like a late-night game.

If you're serious

about doing it

tomorrow,

then, yeah,

i mean, the--

it's something

to consider, I guess.

Eric:

So I have a lot planned.

We're gonna do

a little dinner tonight,

we're gonna

go to the casino,

play a little cards.

- Josh:
Yeah.

- Yeah.

Have a bite to eat.

We're not gonna

just drink, though.

- We're gonna have

a nice dinner.

- Welcome to the lone Angus.

I will be your waiter.

My name is Greg.

- Nice to meet you, Greg.

- Right on.

So I got four

Tequila shots here

- and a diet coke

on the rocks.

- Sweet.

We didn't order those

Tequila shots, though,

- so I think we're good.

- Well, that's, uh,

not what the bartender

is telling me.

It's okay, though.

I mean, like, we're...

- Yeah, we'll take them.

- Right, but we didn't

order them,

so I don't think

we should have to

- pay for them.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa,

speaking of which,

did you guys order

these drinks

that you already have

at the bar?

Yes, because

you weren't here, so...

Yeah, but there's

table service here.

Yeah, but you weren't here.

We waited for 15 minutes.

I was here. No, I've

been here since 5:00.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah, I've been here.

It's okay, okay.

We'll take the shots.

- ...like every a**hole does.

- Oh, we're a**holes now?

- Yeah, you're an ass...

- Eric, Eric.

Maybe you could bring me

a windshield wiper

because you just spit

all over my f***ing face!

Greg:

Why don't you take

that windshield wiper

and shove it

right up your ass?!

- Oh, what's up, man?

- Hey, man, how you doing?

Greg:

That was great.

Hi, guys.

You should see

your faces right now.

We just f***ing

pranked you guys.

That was one

of the best ones

we've ever done.

You guys,

this is my boy, Greg.

I invited him to join us

for the weekend.

This is Josh, this is Ari,

this is Adam.

Adam, nice to meet you.

Greg.

Ari? Greg.

Josh, the man

of the hour. Greg.

Sit down, sit down,

sit down.

Thank you guys so much

for including me.

- Thank you so much.

- Definitely.

- Not a problem.

- Thank you for...

And my boy here told me

there was a bachelor party,

and I was just like,

"oh, can I come?"

He was like,

"you got it."

Yeah, no, I, uh--

it's just that, um,

i was gonna get married,

but I'm not anymore,

so we're kind of just

salvaging the weekend,

- and it's just for guys.

- Yeah, yeah, we're just, uh--

we're treating this

like a boy's weekend.

I thought you said that

this is a bachelor party.

- Um...

- You're not even

getting married?

Well, no, he's--

but we're treating it

like the fun

of a bachelor party,

but it's just

a boy's weekend away.

You know what? Yeah,

we're not even really

using that word.

- You guys break up?

- Essentially, I was

gonna get married,

- but now it's

not gonna happen.

- I just can't stress enough

- that we should just move on.

- It just sort of

turned into--

- kind of like a guy's weekend.

- Live right now

in the moment.

Hey, man,

that's all I'm doing.

That's what all I'm about.

Let's just do our shots

to-- to nothing.

- Yeah, to nothing.

- To nothing.

- To nothing is a great idea.

- To nothing.

- For the weekend.

- F*** that b*tch.

- She doesn't deserve you.

- Eric:
Again, not...

- Yeah, maybe.

- So as I mentioned,

I actually invited Greg

to join us for the weekend

as we have

that extra room

because this guy

brings the party to 11.

Yeah, thanks so much

for having me.

- Well, you know...

- It's so gracious

of you guys to include me

on this very

special weekend.

I was thinking because

we have fewer people

than we thought

that we would

kind of spread out

so no one has to

share a room,

so we don't actually have

an extra one anymore.

Yeah, and, like,

since you guys are boys,

maybe you guys could

just share a room.

Ooh, oh, no,

i can't do that.

I can't, uh, I can't

room with somebody.

And trust me,

none of you want

to room with me

'cause I just

got diagnosed

with sleep apnea,

- and I gotta wear that mask.

- Yeah, dude's like bane.

Hello, would you like

your dick sucked?

- Whoa! Yeah.

- Classic bane joke.

- Terrible bane.

Let's cheers it up

to new beginnings.

- Ari:
To new beginnings.

- Love it.

- To new beginnings, right?

- Oh, my sh*t's empty.

- You know, whatever.

- Hey, waiter,

why don't you

go get another drink?

F*** you!

Ari:

Excuse me, I don't want

to speak to no doctor!

I want to speak

to a pharmacist!

Yeah, man.

Oh, goodness.

- Oh, yeah.

- Shockingly cold.

Greg is a trip, huh?

Dude, Greg

is the best!

I'm kind of

a big fan of him.
