Imagine this
It's a normal Wednesday afternoon and you're at home
Probably aimlessly scrolling through YouTube
When all of a sudden you get a knock on the door
from two guys asking:
"Hi, can we throw a dinner party at your place tonight?"
You'd probably say f*** off right?
But imagine what could happen if you said yes
This week Jack Coyne who has worked with
Casey Neistat on all of his projects
for the past nine years
was staying with us for the first time.
But instead of getting to know each other
over a normal dinner at home,
we thought it'd be a good idea to throw him
right into a Yes Theory experience
and get him to help us throw a dinner party
at a stranger's house
and then try to invite only strangers to that party.
We're guaranteed to make some new,
spontaneous friends through this experience
so let's see where it takes us.
Oh and to put this plan into action,
we also teamed up with our friends
from the incredible YouTube channel Colin and Samir
But per usual without much of a plan, we dove right in.
Fellas
I've gathered you here today for one mission
and one mission only:
We're gonna throw one hell of a
Wednesday dinner party.
We're gonna split it up into three groups:
Jack and Ammar are gonna find a stranger's house
that we can host this party at.
I'm over here for one night
and I have to do the hardest task?
Colin and Thomas Brag are gonna figure out
the drinks, the food, potentially music.
You could say Colin and Thomas have
the easiest job on this.
Okay, all right
We're gonna cook for fifteen people!
Yeah, we have to cook,
we're like the directors of entertainment?
How is this out of your comfort zone?
What?
*laughs*
Samir and I are gonna go out and find guests.
The only problem right now is we're all dudes
so ideally we'll find girls.
Okay
Who knows?
Wait, I haven't done it yet.
Yeah, challenge accepted!
I'd love to see that!
This isn't my first time planning a WPD
A WDP, a Wednesday Dinner Party
*laughs*
It's currently 12:45
and we want to have this party around 7:30 / 8:00 p.m.
We'll give ourselves until 6 o'clock
to accomplish all these tasks.
WPD on three
1, 2, 3, WPD!
Is it PD or DP?
1, 2... WPD
Are you confident in this poster?
It's simple. It's just like "party at yours?"
It's all about this face.
Yeah if that face isn't next to it, it's not gonna work.
Yeah. Works for me.
Ammar, we're supposed to go left, bro.
Good luck guys
What's the pitch? What do we ask people?
You want to come to a party
where we don't actually have the location?
Or know who else is gonna show up?
Like these girls for example seem to be
from out of town.
So you speak Spanish?
Get out of here! Go!
So they're trying to find the house
where we're gonna have that party.
So if you give us your information
Samir: Nice to meet you
hopefully we'll see you tonight then
Samir about to do his first ever walk up to a stranger.
I got nervous!
I can't do it!
We are off to a great start here.
Pasta, spaghetti tonight for everybody?
We got sauce, dessert
That does not look good.
We have drinks for about three.
What is that?
What is this?
Okay, this is tough.
Should we go get lunch?
We should go get lunch, yeah
The most important thing is getting the house,
and that's on us.
Yeah
But we are the smartest and the handsomest.
True that
You want to host me and my friends
for a dinner party at your place tonight?
Oh. I'm sorry
I'm trying to find a spontaneous stranger
who would host me and my best friends
for a dinner party tonight.
Not you?
Alright, have a great one man.
The plan was to ring people's doorbells,
but no one in this neighborhood has door bells to ring.
Hey buddy
Our goal is to find strangers
to come join us at this party.
Oh well, that's nice, but I wish I could
but I actually can't do either.
Do you want to come to our dinner party?
I'm sorry
No?
Let's go the other way
Who knows?
This isn't my first time planning a WPD
A WDP
Change of plans:
we are going to "We Work"
People who are at a "We Work" are entrepreneurs,
spontaneous people and those are the kind of people
we want to come to this dinner party.
They're gonna hate us.
Yeah
Cheers
That's good
Right?
I can't believe that I'm doing this right now.
Do you guys live around here?
I don't have that much room in my house.
Mine's even smaller.
A classic dinner party at your place tonight.
We'll bring a chef.
Okay, no worries.
Jack: It's Wednesday. "We've had a long weekend"
True
You girls mind if we ask you a question?
Go for it
Our job is to find guests.
We were wondering if you guys would be interested...
I'm into it.
...in coming to our dinner party
Yes?
Yes.
Please don't kill me.
We are throwing a dinner party at a stranger's house
We don't know the stranger,
and we don't know the guests.
So do I get to go?
Yeah, man!
Heck yeah!
I'm so down!
Let's do it!
Okay.
So we're in charge of food now?
Mmhmm.
And we have to cook?
Mmhmm.
It's now 4:45. Dinner is at seven o'clock.
F**k
Yeah, we're a bit behind now.
We got kind of punished for our laziness during the day.
We'll be fine though, right?
Okay
Yes
We have about, what? An hour?
Alright, well we better get started.
It's like 15 pounds of meat.
Whoops
Can I pitch you something?
Oh. I'm sorry
No worries
We're trying to find a stranger that would host
a classic dinner party tonight.
Is that you?
No.
No?
Alright
Hey man
*dog barks*
Alright buddy, got it, it's a no.
Of course
Alright so, me and my group of best friends
have a mission today to find a stranger
who would host a classy dinner party.
Ohhh~
Exactly.
So for the past three hours
Jack and I have been going around
asking people if they would be down to host the party.
Yes
Yes?
Yeah
Yeaaaaaaah
If she said no, I would have said yes. That's awesome!
Is there a time on when you guys want to do it?
Like relatively early like 6:00 / 7:00
No, no, no I mean like, day
Oh. Today!
Oh, today?
Today?
Today!
Ok, wait. Let me talk to my boyfriend.
People will be like who the hell is gonna say yes
after all these rejections so
The hero right there
Bye
See you in a bit!
Hey, buddy
Yo, how's it going?
Good! We found a dope place!
No way
In the Canals, dude.
Get out!
Yes!
Dude I'm so stoked!
This is incredible!
Okay, I'll see you in a bit. We'll head back now.
They got a f**king house in the Canals.
Literally best-case scenario
is a house in the Venice Canals.
Yes, yes, yes!
Back to the house
How does it feel, boys?
Suuup?
Nice work
Tell us about this place
It's dope! It's like right on the Canals.
Ammar: It's a corner house on the Canals.
And she texted me like right away being like
"I'm so excited"
We just stopped their meeting to like get ready
for the party.
Get out of here
Alright
Well, this is the house
What?
This is best-case scenario.
What the hell, dude?
So make yourself at home, I mean, takeover.
Do your thing.
Thank you!
The kitchen's right there.
I'm literally in a stranger's kitchen right now.
I'm gonna pull out like knives and stuff.
Peeling every potato slice and dice and...
He's my sous chef
He's killing it
I'm like, should I help?
I know
Should I get plates?
Have a glass of wine, relax.
You can tell he's a good chef 'cause he's got
the towel on his shoulder.
That's the mark of a true chef.
Should I put bacon inside the burger?
Yes
You guys came!
Hi !
We went a little crazy on asking
only girls to come to this party.
It's literally us six and like 15 girls.
Usually it's like 80% dudes
The vibe is amazing.
The vibe is great.
All the girls are so cool and they're all getting along.
It's great.
Yeah
Hello everybody!
We do not believe in the concept of a stranger.
It's only friends that we haven't met.
Thank you to Annie for opening her house.
*cheers and whoos*
Cheers, to everybody!
Chef Thomas is blessing us with his (unintelligible)
This was the craziest day I've had in Los Angeles ever.
And today I learned that absolutely anything is possible.
Matt: What made you say yes
to this crazy, crazy request?
The guys were nice so I was like, why not?
Matt: And what was it like having
all these random people in your house?
I actually loved it!
Matt: You're amazing! Thank you so much!
See you later!
Bye
Experiences like this truly reminds us
of how many kind people exists all around us
And how easy it can sometimes be to connect
when you simply decide to put yourself out there
despite your fear of rejection.
So remember, if you're looking for
some spontaneous friends all it takes
is a little spontaneity yourself.
Remember to go check out both Jack
and Colin and Samir's channel.
They make some incredible content we think you'll love.
See you on Tuesday!
