- I'm at 7:59.
This is hella ASMR,
are you guys getting this?
[clicking]
How about this angle?
What's up guys?
I'm Colson and this an epically weird
but true day with me on set.
[soft, upbeat music]
Big Time Adolescence is about essentially being
a big brother slash bad influence
on this 16 year old kid.
I was just great friends with Pete
and he was like, I'd love if you just came
and did a cameo real quick.
And then it turned into a couple more scenes
and then now I'm in the movie kind of.
This particular morning started with
a minivan picking me up at six in the morning
to take me on the weirdest journey of my next 72 hours.
And there is not just one driver,
but a passenger seat driver as well,
who is apparently the grown daughter of the driver
and she is crying and smoking cigarettes
the entire three hour drive to Syracuse
because she missed this meatball dinner.
And now I'm like, who craves meatballs this much
between six and nine a.m. that they're that upset
that you're like [inhales]
I just can't believe whatever.
I'm also like you're grown so just like stay,
we'll be right back.
Anyway, really odd car ride.
Get to my hotel about nine, 10 o'clock.
Put my bags in the hotel.
Have to go to set about 10:30.
Get to set, what's up Pete I love you.
Hello Jason Orley, who is the director.
What am I doing today?
Jason's like you and Pete just talk some [beep]
on camera and it turns out really good
so they, you know,
two, three o'clock wrap me up for the day.
So as I'm leaving, Pete calls me up
like hey meet me in the trailer.
I met him in his trailer.
He's like dude let's meet up
as soon as I'm done filming.
I got a bag of mushrooms, this'll be great.
And I was like oh well I'll just take a mushroom or two
and by the time you get off work,
you join me whatever, bam.
So take a couple and I go to the mall
because I have the day off.
So I go to the mall and they start to kick in
when I'm walking around and I see a comic store.
I love comics, love graphic novels.
I go inside this comic store
and there is a shiny Batman light.
Like the full projecting, oh my god there's a crime,
we need Batman, light.
And I was like I gotta have that how much is it?
They're like five hundred dollars.
And I'm like gotta have it though.
And I bring it back to my hotel room, I'm super stoked.
I turn off all the lights, I plug it in,
I turn it on, and there it is.
I'm also tripping my balls off so to me,
I'm like this is like a midnight sky
of downtown New York City
and I just lit the Batman light up.
It's so epic to me.
At the time, Pete was dating [whispers] Ariana Grande.
Sorry Pete, I have to tell the story.
I love you so much.
I go next door and I'm like AG you gotta come,
you gotta come see this it's crazy!
And she's like dude I'm in bed.
I'm like dude this is so worth it though, trust me.
Get up, just get up.
So she gets out of bed and like walks out
and she's like dude this better be good
and I'm like [breathes out] wait til you see
what I just got.
And I open the hotel door and, like,
it was almost like all of the mushrooms left my body
at that point because I saw
in actuality the lamest thing I've ever done in my life.
And like she is also standing there like fresh out of bed
so angry and upset
that I've woken the biggest pop star [laughs]
in America up to come see
this stupid three inch Batman light.
She obviously was like this is the stupidest thing ever,
I'm going back to bed.
Now we're at like five or six o'clock.
I get a call from the director
like hey we really liked what you and Pete did,
we'd love if you stayed
and we're gonna write you in a couple more scenes.
I was like oh that's sick.
Pete finishes up, comes and meets me.
He sees cars on the sides of the road
and he's like dude, like, we should buy cars.
So he bought a 1997 tan gross colored
like Cadillac piece of [beep].
He purposely bought like the ugliest car you could imagine
and I was like oh that's so sick
well I gotta buy one now.
So we're driving and then we see this yellow drag racer
on the side of the road.
I pull over I'm like I gotta have it.
Like how much is it?
They're like eight grand.
I'm like bet.
So I pay it.
They're like you can't drive this car
for more than 15 minutes at a time
'cause it's like a drag racing engine.
So like it will overheat
and yeah the car will explode whatever.
So I was like, all right bet.
So me and Pete get in it,
immediately start driving 200 miles an hour.
[exhales]
Get back to the hotel with our new cars,
park our cars, it's like nine p.m.
I remember like oh my god I have this song
that I'm trying to shoot a video for
that I have to put out next week.
I gotta shoot this while I'm out here
if I'm gonna stay another day or whatever.
So I call one of my camera guys [phone rings].
He comes up.
Me and Pete are like all right well
we'll just start shooting some tonight
and we'll shoot tomorrow too.
So we ask this waffle place
if we can come in after they close.
They said yes.
We came in there and we're doing a scene
and Pete's like oh we should just sprinkle these mushrooms
on the waffles and eat them.
I'm like oh that's kind of cool.
So we like do that for the camera
but obviously we actually eat them.
And so, by the time we're finished doing that part
of the video, we go outside and then it hits us
like okay [beep] yeah we just took mushrooms like [punches].
The trip starts.
I also, at this comic book store,
bought two light sabers.
And I also brought these light sabers with me
to the waffle place.
So in the middle of the street,
me and Pete got in a big light saber battle.
All of this is on camera
in a video called Loco by the way,
because it sounds like bull [beep] but it's all there.
We went back to the hotel,
this is around one in the morning.
I have this idea like I should get
in the koi pond for this video.
It would be really funny.
And he goes all right great I'm gonna distract the guy.
And he goes I need milk for my cereal
and the guys like well we don't have any milk here.
He's like do you have any milk in this hotel at all?
He's like I think I got some milk
in a fridge in this other room.
So he goes and gets the milk
and while he gets the milk,
I take my pants off and my shirt off,
and I hop in this koi pond in my boxers
with this stupid umbrella
and I'm like trying to hide under the umbrella
from this guy before he comes back to get this shot.
And the guy catches us immediately
because the milk was like five steps away.
What a weird way to distract him.
I'm like milk?
What are you doing?
So he's like get out, so we're running down the hallway.
We get in the room.
And we thought it was the best idea ever at the time
if we went and woke the director up.
We were like this is hilarious
like we should just go wake the director up.
This is like 4:55 in the morning.
I'm like [knocks] on this door.
As soon as he opened the door,
everything stopped being funny to me
and I was like oh my god I'm so sorry.
He answered and he was like
guys I have a pregnant wife who's sleeping
and so like we just did the walk of shame
back to our hotel room
like that was the worst idea ever man!
Like dang!
This is now like 5:10.
Went to sleep for a couple hours.
Woke up at nine, 10, to continue filming.
We filmed til about 12
and Pete was like we should continue the music video.
And so we told the director we were gonna go on lunch break.
We went for hours and shot a music video
in the middle of a filming of a movie.
And so we pull back up at like two,
like in the loudest car possible,
with like a whole crew
who's been sitting there for hours
like waiting for us to do our job.
We honestly just weren't professional at all on the set.
I was like really proud in the aftermath,
but during it I was like [exhales]
this movie's never coming out.
I don't know how the movie turned out to be so good
but that's everything I do in a day.
Kind of.
