1. I've never been on tour before,Copy !req
2. so, you know, I didn't even know
what to expect,Copy !req
3. but I imagined
it would feel like...Copy !req
4. freedom, you know?Copy !req
5. Like, freedom from having
to create every day.Copy !req
6. Freedom from being a prisoner
of my own ambition.Copy !req
7. And I could just have
one task every night:Copy !req
8. perform my music.Copy !req
9. But it's a lot different
making these songs,Copy !req
10. like, in my studio by myself.Copy !req
11. I mean, every night I'm out
there and I really do, like,Copy !req
12. face the music, you know?Copy !req
13. I'm seeing the crowd.Copy !req
14. And I love my fans, I really do,Copy !req
15. but some of them are
ruining it for the rest of them,Copy !req
16. because we're at a time
right nowCopy !req
17. where our country is, like,
eating itself alive,Copy !req
18. and I'm up there making jokesCopy !req
19. that I don't even know
if I find funny anymore.Copy !req
20. A-And, like, on top of that,
every momentCopy !req
21. I'm, like, being filmed
and scrutinized,Copy !req
22. and, like, if I say
the wrong thing onstageCopy !req
23. or do the wrong thing,
who knows what would happen?Copy !req
24. A-And I thought this tour was
gonna be, like, me living,Copy !req
25. but it really just feels
like I'm surviving.Copy !req
26. I need to rebrand
'cause I'm breaking down.Copy !req
27. (sighs)
I just can't do it anymore.Copy !req
28. So what are you saying?Copy !req
29. He's saying he wants to cancel
the rest of the tour.Copy !req
30. Yeah.Copy !req
31. We'll be okay.Copy !req
32. Think about Lincoln.Copy !req
33. Everything that he went through.Copy !req
34. Stay strong mentally.Copy !req
35. 'Cause we're gonna
get through this as a unit.Copy !req
36. Honestly, I just don't even know
what this doc is anymore.Copy !req
37. Like, it feels half-baked
if we're stopping now.Copy !req
38. Look, life isn't
all about content, okay?Copy !req
39. Everything is content, dawg.Copy !req
40. No, Gata,
not everything is content.Copy !req
41. I am not content.Copy !req
42. I'm not content.Copy !req
43. (sighs)
How does Jack Harlow...Copy !req
44. How does this guy's followers
go up like this?Copy !req
45. Comparison is the thief of joy.
- (phone chimes)Copy !req
46. None of those fucking phrasings
today, okay? Those idioms?Copy !req
47. They're ill-kempt. Do I need
to wear this mic anymore,Copy !req
48. - now that you're not
interested in...
Who cares?Copy !req
49. Come on, man.Copy !req
50. Okay. 1:58, Dave.
Let's go. We got to go.Copy !req
51. - We got to get ready
for this call.
- The call's at 2:00.Copy !req
52. - I need the two minutes.
- No, 'cause I need to connectCopy !req
53. to the Wi-Fi because there's
no signal out here, Dave.Copy !req
54. - Wi-Fi connects instantaneously.
- So we need to be prepared.Copy !req
55. - 'Cause they're gonna call
any minute now.
- Look, just let me gatherCopy !req
56. - my whole...
- I know you want
to cancel your tourCopy !req
57. for your mental health,
and I'm here for you, okay?Copy !req
58. Bieber did it last year.Copy !req
59. It's not that big of a deal.Copy !req
60. It's okay.
I love you, all right?Copy !req
61. - I'm doing this with you.
- I know.Copy !req
62. I love you, too, I just feel
so bad for all my fansCopy !req
63. that bought tickets.
I love my fans.Copy !req
64. You can't feel bad for the fans.
They're gonna get a full refund.Copy !req
65. Plus, your fans would rather
have you happy and healthy.Copy !req
66. - (phone ringing)
- I would hope so.
- And look.Copy !req
67. - And look. What did I say?
- They're calling.Copy !req
68. - And they're early. You're...
- That's why I do what I do.Copy !req
69. - You're buttoned up. Hey.
- Yo! You got Mike and Dave.Copy !req
70. - Both.
Yeah, it's Keith.Copy !req
71. Oh, Keith. The big dog.Copy !req
72. What do we owe this pleasure
to you— uh...Copy !req
73. - What's up?
- Hi.Copy !req
74. Yeah, shut the fuck up.Copy !req
75. What you idiots are proposing
is outlandish.Copy !req
76. Dave here.
(chuckles)Copy !req
77. So, look, I just want you
to know that I really putCopy !req
78. a lot of thought into this
decision to cancel the tour.Copy !req
79. It's not one I took lightly.Copy !req
80. I don't know if you watch
CNN these days, but, like...Copy !req
81. the nation is so divided
right now.Copy !req
82. - Pretty toxic.
- Yeah.Copy !req
83. Again, shut the fuck up
and listen to me.Copy !req
84. You have been a thorn
in this label's sideCopy !req
85. - since we signed you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
86. - "Jail"?
- That's a good song still.Copy !req
87. The shit in Korea?Copy !req
88. Let's just keep
this conversationCopy !req
89. purely domestic, if possible.Copy !req
90. If we start talking
international issues,Copy !req
91. - we're just gonna be
talking for hours.
- Yeah. It's dirty.Copy !req
92. You refused to promote
your album at the VMAs.Copy !req
93. You did a song with Gator?
Fucking Gator?Copy !req
94. It's Gata.Copy !req
95. Yeah, it's— Whoa!Copy !req
96. - Whoa! Whoa!
- (metal screeching)Copy !req
97. Sorry, folks.
Engine's being frisky, okay?Copy !req
98. Am I on speakerphone?
Take me off.Copy !req
99. No. Uh, sorry about that, Keith.Copy !req
100. Let me— Hold on, let me
talk to you outside, Keith.Copy !req
101. This is the most mismanaged
operation I've ever seen.Copy !req
102. You've recouped about 18 grandCopy !req
103. out of a $400,000 advance,
leaving...Copy !req
104. - $382,000.
- Right.Copy !req
105. And you've breached contract
more than enough times,Copy !req
106. so you will be hearing
from our lawyers.Copy !req
107. Whoa.
You're gonna get litigious?Copy !req
108. Yes, and to put it
even more simply,Copy !req
109. we just don't believe
in this Lil Dicky shit anymore.Copy !req
110. (laughs):
Okay.Copy !req
111. That is— that hurts. But...Copy !req
112. Look, I understand that, like,Copy !req
113. the Lil Dicky thing hasn't
really popped offCopy !req
114. the way that we all
would have imagined it would,Copy !req
115. but I have a whole plan
to rebrand.Copy !req
116. Mike, take me
off speakerphone now.Copy !req
117. Hey, Keith. Yeah, okay, l-look,
let us come back with a planCopy !req
118. - to show you that this can be
way more cost-efficient.
- I can't hear.Copy !req
119. Okay?Copy !req
120. I am going to take care of this.Copy !req
121. I can prove to youCopy !req
122. this is a-a well-run machine,
you know?Copy !req
123. Let-let me show you that we can
get our shit together here.Copy !req
124. I promise you, even if it seems
bad now, it's not...Copy !req
125. Holy shit!Copy !req
126. (softly):
What the fuck?Copy !req
127. - What the fuck?
- Cliff.Copy !req
128. What in the fuck?Copy !req
129. - Cliff!
- Cliff! Cliff!Copy !req
130. Get away from the bus, Dave!
Get away from the bus!Copy !req
131. Dave! Dave, get over here!Copy !req
132. Get him away from the bus!Copy !req
133. Oh, man, it was the rats.Copy !req
134. The rats, the wires
down in the undercarriage.Copy !req
135. What the fuck are you
talking about, bro?Copy !req
136. We could have fucking died.Copy !req
137. - All my shit is on there, bro!
- (screams)Copy !req
138. - We're alive. We're alive.
- You better ask somebody
about me...Copy !req
139. - My fucking laptop!
- My God, we are so lucky.Copy !req
140. How much does
a fucking bus cost?Copy !req
141. - (moans)
- I ain't worrying
about that shit.Copy !req
142. We could have died. Like...Copy !req
143. fuck all this
Lil Dicky fucking shit.Copy !req
144. Man, this some real Bad Boys
shit right here.Copy !req
145. I'm about to get this

147. Fuck. Ain't no goddamn service.Copy !req
148. There's still no
cell service out here.Copy !req
149. Damn, I fucking left
my meds on the bus.Copy !req
150. My Adderall was on
that bus, too.Copy !req
151. I didn't take
my Adderall today, so...Copy !req
152. This is all y'all's fault.Copy !req
153. Y'all left the food that draw
the rats to the foodCopy !req
154. that caused the explosion.Copy !req
155. Cliff, if you don't hurry
the fuck up...Copy !req
156. Gata, we have to save that.Copy !req
157. Are we really in that type
of situation?Copy !req
158. - Yes.
- (scoffs)Copy !req
159. I'm trying to cool down, man.Copy !req
160. It's hot as a motherfucker

170. - I'm so dirty.
Oh. (sighs)Copy !req
171. Finally, Wi-Fi.Copy !req
172. - (groaning)
- Oh, you got the Wi-Fi?Copy !req
173. I don't know how the Jews...Copy !req
174. did all the fucking traveling
and the wandering.Copy !req
175. Hey, will you share

274. that I just canceled
my tour for,Copy !req
275. because I was so ashamed by it.Copy !req

the bus blew up...Copy !req
346. - Oh, my God.

349. Internet rumor going around
that I'm dead.Copy !req
350. - Who's dead?
- What? What happened?Copy !req
351. Did somebody commit suicide?Copy !req
352. Look, I'm gonna make things

354. don't talk to anybody,
just sit at home and do nothing.Copy !req

356. No, wait, we're having dinner

358. It's hard to reschedule
with the Mendelsons.Copy !req
359. They live in Conshohocken.Copy !req
360. What, we have to reschedule
with the Mendelsons?Copy !req
361. I don't care, there's, like,

383. I— What are you doing?Copy !req
384. Y-You need to stop and tell
everyone that you are not dead.Copy !req
385. - You cannot let anybody...
- No, we don't have to...
This is not important at all.Copy !req
386. - (disconnect tone)
- I'm sorry, it's just not.
What are you doing?Copy !req
387. We need cash.
Does anybody have cash?Copy !req
388. If we're gonna stay
at a motel tonight,Copy !req
389. we can't use a credit card.
They're traceable.Copy !req
390. What is the issue
if it's traceable?Copy !req
391. You said we're doing
nothing wrong.Copy !req
392. We're not doing anything wrong.Copy !req
393. And if traceability's an issue,Copy !req
394. we were just all on the phone.Copy !req
395. That-That's two
different things.Copy !req
396. Two different systems.Copy !req
397. Hey, I think I see a pawnshop
over there.Copy !req
398. Pawnshop.Copy !req
399. Does anybody have anything
we can pawn?Copy !req
400. I ain't got shit.Copy !req
401. Oh...
(scoffs)Copy !req
402. Come on, man.Copy !req
403. Y'all fucking tripping, dawg.Copy !req
404. This is crazy, man.Copy !req
405. Look who's catching up.Copy !req
406. God, you sound like
you're eating gravel.Copy !req
407. - So loud.
- You know, if I wasn't
on Adderall,Copy !req
408. I would be, like, 5,000 pounds.Copy !req
409. I can't stop.Copy !req
410. Oh, they put it out.
Good for them.Copy !req
411. - That's smart.
- Whoa.Copy !req
412. Post Malone just dropped
an "I'm Drunk" acoustic remix.Copy !req
413. - No, he didn't.
- Yeah, he did.Copy !req
414. That fucking tattooed rat.Copy !req
415. I literally DM'd him
the second I made that songCopy !req
416. 'cause I knew he'd be
a perfect fit for it,Copy !req
417. and he didn't even respond.Copy !req
418. Get that shit taken down.Copy !req
419. - Have the label take it down.
- No, Dave, this could be huge.Copy !req
420. Trying to ride
my fucking death?Copy !req
421. - No...
- Think about this for a second.
I know I said tomorrow,Copy !req
422. but it's a down week
on Billboard.Copy !req
423. Nothing new dropped.Copy !req
424. Okay.Copy !req
425. I'm saying it's-it's Monday
night. It's almost Tuesday.Copy !req
426. Billboard stops counting
streams on Thursday.Copy !req
427. Are you telling meCopy !req
428. that there's a legitimate shot
at a number one here?Copy !req
429. I am telling you
that I've been runningCopy !req
430. the numbers all day long,Copy !req
431. and Penith as an album
and "I'm Drunk" as a singleCopy !req
432. have a very good chance
of being the number one albumCopy !req
433. and the number one single
in the country at the same time.Copy !req
434. I've told you that the only way
I'm gonna be satisfied in lifeCopy !req
435. - is if I have...
- A number one on
Billboard, I know.Copy !req
436. I know it's a really dumb way
to live your life, but I...Copy !req
437. No, you want to be acknowledged
at a given point in timeCopy !req
438. by the industry as the best.Copy !req
439. And you'll have achieved
your dreamCopy !req
440. - and be free.
- And be free.Copy !req
441. - I say this all the time?
- A lot, yeah.Copy !req
442. But I'm listening.Copy !req
443. So what does that mean?Copy !req
444. Two more days and then
we get number ones?Copy !req
445. (laughs)
Look at me.Copy !req
446. But that's lying.Copy !req
447. - What's lying?
- That's lying.Copy !req
448. If we don't come out and—
Uh, you said— we agreedCopy !req
449. - on tomorrow morning.
- There is no lie to be told.Copy !req
450. You didn't say anything,
you didn't do anything.Copy !req
451. - I got to look this shit up.
- Dave, you're not
on social media.Copy !req
452. You're off the grid.
You're off the grid.Copy !req
453. I'm never getting off my phone.Copy !req
454. This is the most interesting
content in the world.Copy !req
455. - Everyone's talking about me.
- You're gone.Copy !req
456. You want to be number one?
You're gone.Copy !req
457. - (sighs)
- I got to find a wayCopy !req
458. to get more radio play,
like, right now.Copy !req
459. I'm gonna go get food.Copy !req
460. Stay here, don't move.
I'm serious. Please.Copy !req
461. I got to sit here
like Anne Frank all night?Copy !req
462. You know, you kind of look
like her when you shave. I...Copy !req
463. - Oh, my God!
- What?Copy !req
464. - What happened?
- Drake.Copy !req
465. Drake liked my last tweet.Copy !req
466. - Mm. Mm.
- He knows who I am.
I have to DM him.Copy !req
467. - No! Dave,
don't-don't do that, Dave.
- I have to respond.Copy !req
468. - I'm DMing LeBron!
- Dave! Do you want your dreams
to come true?Copy !req
469. - I have to DM these men.
- Do you want your dreams
to come true?Copy !req
470. - God!
- Then you got to be
patient, Dave.Copy !req
471. You said you want to rebrand.Copy !req
472. What better time to think
about a rebrandCopy !req
473. than right now,
in this room, by yourself?Copy !req
474. Let me do my thing,
you do your thing,Copy !req
475. and then the whole world
is gonna be watchingCopy !req
476. when you decide
to reveal, finally,Copy !req
477. who the real Lil Dicky is.Copy !req
478. Uh-huh.Copy !req
479. (laughs softly)
Okay.Copy !req
480. I'm on it.
Good fucking shit, Mike.Copy !req
481. Dave. It's, um,
it's, um, it's me.Copy !req
482. It's... it's Robyn. Um...Copy !req
483. And...Copy !req
484. I can't believe...
(ragged inhale)Copy !req
485. Ugh, this is stupid.Copy !req
486. (New York accent):
Hello. Yeah, hi.Copy !req
487. (clears throat)
Is this Keith?Copy !req
488. Keith, it's Jim Morera.Copy !req
489. Yeah, I'm an attorney.
I represent David Burd.Copy !req
490. And Mike Spera. Yes.Copy !req
491. I know. It's been
a long day over here.Copy !req
492. You can imagine how we feel,
you know?Copy !req
493. Yeah. Well, crazy thing—Copy !req
494. Mike told me about
a conversation you guys had.Copy !req
495. Uh, earlier. Prior. Before...Copy !req
496. Yeah. No, I know.Copy !req
497. I can't imagine
the guilt you're feeling.Copy !req
498. Everyone over there, really.Copy !req
499. Yeah, no. No, we're praying.Copy !req
500. I'm praying. I'm praying myself
that they're missing,Copy !req
501. but the likelihood is high
that they were... incinerated.Copy !req
502. Uh-huh.Copy !req
503. Well, I'm curious to know—Copy !req
504. is the label gonna be supporting
Dave's album posthumously?Copy !req
505. Uh-huh.Copy !req
506. The-the boys said, you know,Copy !req
507. there was something about radio,
maybe.Copy !req
508. That they'd get radio play.Copy !req
509. And, um...Copy !req
510. Yeah. Well, they never
really felt supportedCopy !req
511. most of the time.Copy !req
512. Keith, let me...Copy !req
513. let me call you right back,
Keith.Copy !req
514. You left these.Copy !req
515. Thank you.Copy !req
516. They seemed ex
pensive.
I didn't want you to lose them.Copy !req
517. Thanks.Copy !req
518. LD.Copy !req
519. What's that stand for?Copy !req
520. Uh, Landon Donovan.Copy !req
521. Landon Donovan is
an American soccer player.Copy !req
522. The U. S. men's team.Copy !req
523. Ah.Copy !req
524. USA. USA.Copy !req
525. This is allCopy !req
526. Here's one you can weigh in on.Copy !req
527. MGK— who I've never even met,
mind you,Copy !req
528. so I have no idea
why he's posting about meCopy !req
529. in the first place— wrote,Copy !req
530. "I'm so sorry
about what happened in Germany."Copy !req
531. What is this guy talking about?
I've never even been to Germany.Copy !req
532. Is he just, like, apologizing
in general for the Holocaust?Copy !req
533. That's all he wrote?Copy !req
534. Yeah.Copy !req
535. - Strange.
- Yeah.Copy !req
536. "LeBron is listening."Copy !req
537. Uh, what is this?Copy !req
538. Yeah. Very important.
Got to keep this top of mind.Copy !req
539. LeBron is listening.
We got to remember that, it's...Copy !req
540. Who is LeBron? Is he a Nazi?Copy !req
541. No. No.Copy !req
542. Anne, you are safe here.Copy !req
543. Uh, LeBron is
actually the opposite of a Nazi.Copy !req
544. He's a crusader for justice,
on and off the court.Copy !req
545. He's got, like, schools and...Copy !req
546. really carries himself well.Copy !req
547. He followed me today, so...Copy !req
548. it's pretty cool.Copy !req
549. He's tracking you?Copy !req
550. No. No, no, no.Copy !req
551. Following, uh...Copy !req
552. Hmm. How do I explain
the Internet to Anne Frank?Copy !req
553. So, every fact
that exists in lifeCopy !req
554. can be obtained,Copy !req
555. like, through this box.Copy !req
556. And through this box,Copy !req
557. you can communicateCopy !req
558. with everybody...Copy !req
559. on Earth, pretty much.Copy !req
560. Y-You know, when I was hiding
from the Nazis...Copy !req
561. LeBron could unfollow me
at any moment,Copy !req
562. which is, like,
a really troubling reality.Copy !req
563. And-and that's something
that I need to, like,Copy !req
564. keep in mind as well. Because...Copy !req
565. I really got to figure outCopy !req
566. how I'm gonna get out
of this whole thing.Copy !req
567. Get out of...?Copy !req
568. This. This entire situation.Copy !req
569. Are you kidding?Copy !req
570. I was worried
about scrutiny before.Copy !req
571. What about now?Copy !req
572. I've, like, opened up such a...Copy !req
573. I mean, what am I gonna do,Copy !req
574. like, go to a park and be like,Copy !req
575. "I'm alive"
and hope that goes over well?Copy !req
576. Like, I don't think I've even
fucking properly contemplatedCopy !req
577. my exit strategy.Copy !req
578. You know. Fuck.
It's like, what are they gonna—Copy !req
579. People are gonna eat me alive,
potentially.Copy !req
580. Or not. Uh, but,Copy !req
581. you know, my life could end
at any moment.Copy !req
582. Uh, what I mean by that
is not, like,Copy !req
583. end my life in the way
that you were...Copy !req
584. clipped.Copy !req
585. I mean, like, uh,Copy !req
586. today, in America,Copy !req
587. they can kill you
while you're alive.Copy !req
588. Which, in my opinion,
is worse than being dead.Copy !req
589. Although I can't speak to— I
don't know how you were killed.Copy !req
590. How did you die?
Was it, like, a...Copy !req
591. - I-In a camp.
- In a camp.Copy !req
592. So it was, like, a slow death.
I-I kind of always imagined,Copy !req
593. like, people running up and,
like, Osama bin Laden-style,Copy !req
594. just, like...
(mimics gunfire)Copy !req
595. - Uh, but...
- (claps hands)Copy !req
596. Yeah, cancel culture
is a total nightmare.Copy !req
597. Yeah, you make coffee in that.Copy !req
598. Coffee.Copy !req
599. Coffee? No, it's good.Copy !req
600. I don't know if you guys
even had stimulants, but...Copy !req
601. Did you have Adderall back then?Copy !req
602. I'm not on my Adderall.Copy !req
603. And it's...Copy !req
604. I don't know
if that's why this is happening.Copy !req
605. Oh, my God. They just added
six of my songs to RapCaviar.Copy !req
606. That's 14 million new listeners.Copy !req
607. Is that what you want?Copy !req
608. Uh, listeners?Copy !req
609. Yeah.Copy !req
610. Uh, how many listeners
is enough?Copy !req
611. Uh...Copy !req
612. That's a... big question, Anne.Copy !req
613. But, uh, I don't know. You
can really never have too many.Copy !req
614. But more listeners you have,Copy !req
615. the more scrutiny. Right?Copy !req
616. And scrutiny leads to feeling
like everything could just end,Copy !req
617. you said. Right?Copy !req
618. Very good memory, Ms. Frank.Copy !req
619. It was ten seconds ago.Copy !req
620. Uh, mm, true.Copy !req
621. What is this? Uh, your shirt.Copy !req
622. "Whip"?Copy !req
623. - Oh.
- What is this?Copy !req
624. - Whip. Yeah, whip.
- Whip?Copy !req
625. Uh, it's like
a contemporary dance.Copy !req
626. It's actually
not even that contemporary.Copy !req
627. It's pretty old at this point.
But, uh...Copy !req
628. It's like, uh... I normally have
to, like, stand to do it well.Copy !req
629. But, uh...Copy !req
630. Hey, how did you deal
with all the scrutinyCopy !req
631. as far as your diary?Copy !req
632. Y-You...Copy !req
633. know of my diary?Copy !req
634. Oh, my God. Yeah,
everyone knows of your diary.Copy !req
635. - Everyone?
- Yeah.Copy !req
636. I mean, I don't know
if every single s— I mean,Copy !req
637. it's one of the most popular
books of all time.Copy !req
638. Uh, how... how did this happen?Copy !req
639. How did it happen? Like,
I don't understand the question.Copy !req
640. Like, how did it get published?Copy !req
641. Uh, I can— I'll use the box.Copy !req
642. This is the advantage
of the box.Copy !req
643. Okay, it says hereCopy !req
644. that your diary was published
by your father.Copy !req
645. Um...Copy !req
646. My father publishedCopy !req
647. - my fucking diary?
- Anne,Copy !req
648. nobody came out of the Holocaust
looking better than you.Copy !req
649. - (yells)
- Oh! Hey! You came across
really well in the diary!Copy !req
650. You got nothing
to be concerned about!Copy !req
651. Everyone loves the diary.
You're, like,Copy !req
652. - a treasure of the Holocau—
Uh...
- (keys jangling)Copy !req
653. - (doorknob rattling)
- No! Anne, no, you're safe!Copy !req
654. You're safe here!
Where are you going?Copy !req
655. Hey, uh, we got to go.Copy !req
656. Elz is over it.Copy !req
657. I almost keyed a man
in the face.Copy !req
658. And-and Gata's
ramping up real bad.Copy !req
659. - Leave now?
- Yeah, we got to go. We should
go. I bought a van, by the way.Copy !req
660. - So it's— I'll meet you
out front with it.
- What?Copy !req
661. We need to keep control
of the narrative.Copy !req
662. - The narrative.
- Here, meet me out front.Copy !req
663. Being back in L. A.,
honestly, it's...Copy !req
664. just the right move
for the next phase of this.Copy !req
665. It's a full media operation
at this point.Copy !req
666. Yeah,
we got to come out of it right.Copy !req
667. I mean, your audience
has gotten way, way bigger.Copy !req
668. - Yeah.
- (phone chimes)Copy !req
669. Oh, that's-that's my phone.Copy !req
670. Uh... will you grab that?Copy !req
671. - I don't want to...
- Yeah.Copy !req
672. Who is it?Copy !req
673. Uh...Copy !req
674. your brother.Copy !req
675. Oh. Put it down.
I'll hit him later.Copy !req
676. Okay. I...Copy !req
677. I read it.Copy !req
678. About your dad.Copy !req
679. Yeah. Yeah, my—
our dad has, uh, Alzheimer's.Copy !req
680. It's a...
like, a recent development.Copy !req
681. - I am so sorry, Mike.
- It's totally cool.Copy !req
682. My brother's been taking care
of him, and the deal was...Copy !req
683. I-I'd take him to L. A., put him
in one of those... (sniffles)Copy !req
684. you know, assisted living homes
as soon as the tour's done.Copy !req
685. And...Copy !req
686. the tour's done.
(scoffs)Copy !req
687. On one hand, you know, he's
never gonna remember being a,Copy !req
688. you know,
emotionally abusive asshole.Copy !req
689. But he's also never gonna forgetCopy !req
690. to call me a failure when he
sees my face, that's for sure.Copy !req
691. Hey, you've managed the hell outCopy !req
692. - of this situation, Mike.
- (sighs)Copy !req
693. - I'm serious.
- Oh, Dave. Come on, man.Copy !req
694. It's fine. It's totally good.Copy !req
695. I— honestly, I don't even want
to think about it.Copy !req
696. 'Cause that's why I did this.Copy !req
697. I took this tour
because I just...Copy !req
698. I wanted to be with you
and get that...Copy !req
699. We're not gonna let my dad
rain on this parade.Copy !req
700. I mean, look at what
we're about to pull off.Copy !req
701. Yeah.Copy !req
702. The number one song
in the countryCopy !req
703. and the number one album
in the country?Copy !req
704. It's fucking crazy.
- You just got to lay low
for two more days.Copy !req
705. 48 hours.Copy !req
706. - Please lay low.
- I'm not—Copy !req
707. No one's gonna see me.Copy !req
708. And then...Copy !req
709. everything
that you've ever wanted.Copy !req
710. That's crazy.
- You called it.Copy !req
711. Do you remember that—
you remember that emailCopy !req
712. that you sent me before you
uploaded your first video?Copy !req
713. That destiny manifesto?Copy !req
714. Oh, my God.
I forgot all about that.Copy !req
715. R-Read it to me.Copy !req
716. - You w
ant me to pull it up...
- Right now.Copy !req
717. Do it.Copy !req
718. All right. Fuck it.Copy !req
719. (clears throat)
"Lil DickyCopy !req
720. "isn't just my rap name.Copy !req
721. It's my actual destiny."Copy !req
722. It's so stupid.Copy !req
723. - (chuckles)
- "I'm takingCopy !req
724. "my biggest insecurity—Copy !req
725. - parentheses, my penis..."
- Yeah.Copy !req
726. "... and turning it
into my biggest superpower.Copy !req
727. "I'm sick of seeing people

728. "even when they're not.Copy !req
729. "That's not Lil Dicky.Copy !req
730. "And I will never change
who I amCopy !req
