  • - Is it focused on me?

  • - [Voiceover] Yeah.

  • - Should I say, like, "Hi, we're in Chicago?"

  • - [Voiceover] Sure.

  • - Hi! (laughs)

  • We're in Chicago.

  • I'm here with Adam.

  • Adam, say hi.

  • - Hello!

  • - And (laughs) I'm here for the...

  • Can you focus it on me?

  • I'm here for the New Years.

  • And I just got in; I rode a train.

  • It was fun, but now Adam is taking me to...

  • I'm up here.

  • To the Bean.

  • What else are we doing?

  • - [Adam] Topshop. - Topshop.

  • - [Adam] Maybe some ice skating.

  • - We might go ice skating.

  • The world's our oyster.

  • 2013, ringing it in, or...

  • Yeah.

  • - [Adam] Ringing in 2014. - There we go.

  • - Well, this video's off to a good start.

  • - [Adam] You want a little (mumbles)?

  • - [Tyler] (laughs) Stop!

  • Oh...

  • Stop it!

  • Is it on?

  • So, we're here at the Bean!

  • Is that what it's actually called, though?

  • - [Adam] Yeah. - [Tyler] Oh.

  • - [Adam] It's called "Cloud Atlas" or something.

  • - That's a movie.

  • Welcome to Chicago!

  • Okay, so we just got drinks and foods.

  • Adam, say hi. - Hey, again.

  • - [Tyler] Adam, tell them how we know each other.

  • - Tyler and I met at telemarketing

  • at Michigan State University.

  • - We were telemarketers together our freshman year

  • of college at Michigan State, and...

  • - I got written up.

  • I was thinking about that.

  • - [Tyler] You got written up? - [Adam] Yeah.

  • At the very end.

  • - [Tyler] That's funny.

  • - Can I mention names? - [Tyler] No!

  • (both laugh)

  • - I was number one telemarketer in the room for a week.

  • For a long time I was in the top 10,

  • but that one week I was number one.

  • And then how do we know each other, Adam?

  • - Um...

  • We hung out on St. Patrick's Day.

  • - [Tyler] (laughs) Wait, are you going into that story?

  • Yeah, actually, tell that story.

  • Where were we?

  • - We were at the Jewish frat.

  • - So, there we were.

  • There we were at AE Pi, the Jewish frat.

  • Adam? - And I was stealing...

  • I just kept telling them that I was planning on rushing.

  • I think rush had already ended, because I don't drink beer.

  • And... (Tyler laughs)

  • - [Tyler] This story is terrible.

  • - So, I just got all the frat guys to give you free drinks.

  • - [Tyler] Okay, that doesn't answer the question

  • of how we know each other.

  • Telemarketing, we already answered that.

  • - [Tyler] And then?

  • - And then, we started dating.

  • - [Tyler] That's clearly how we know each other!

  • You act like that's a surprise to you.

  • - [Adam] Then we took a brief hiatus, and then...

  • - We dated for like a year.

  • But we were young.

  • We were how old and dumb.

  • I had just turned 18, 19?

  • - [Adam] I guess, 19, yeah.

  • - We were 19, young and dumb.

  • - [Adam] And five years ago, we spent New Years

  • together in my hometown.

  • - [Tyler] Oh my god, wait!

  • Remember the wedding?

  • (Adam laughs)

  • We went to a wedding in Marquette, Michigan,

  • and the ball dropped in the middle of town.

  • It's this little po-dunk town in the upper peninsula.

  • And we spent it together five years ago?

  • That was five years ago?

  • - [Adam] I think so, I was thinking about that.

  • Sophomore year? - [Tyler] Wow.

  • - 2008?

  • - [Tyler] Time flies. - 2009?

  • - So, now we're spending New Years together in Chicago.

  • 2013.

  • 'Cause I was in Michigan, and nothing was going on.

  • So, I figured, why not go to Chicago,

  • because Adam's there.

  • And so, here we are.

  • - Bye. (Tyler laughs)

  • (overlapping chatter)

  • - All right, so we're 20 seconds 'til the New Year.

  • 2013 was really good, 2014...

  • - [Crowd] Ten, nine, eight,

  • seven, six, five, four,

  • three, two, one!

  • Happy New Year!

  • (inhales deeply)

  • Happy New Year.

- Is it focused on me?
