- I am so excited.
I'm having a Mario Kart birthday party
but it was, like, supposed to be a birthday party
but now it has turned into something
a little bit more serious.
It has turned into a full-blown tournament.
This is the first ever
IJ Invitational Mario Kart Tournament.
Now I don't really know how this is all gonna play out.
I invited some friends.
Everyone's getting very competitive now that they know
that there's a trophy involved, so first things first,
we need to do a little decorating.
My sister's gonna come over and help,
but I feel like I don't actually have that much
decorating to do.
I don't even know what is
(plastic crinkles)
..in here but this is something I'm excited about
is these chocolate coins.
I looked for mushrooms, but the only type of mushrooms
that I found online were psychedelics
and actual real mushrooms.
I'm not interested in that,
but these chocolate coins are definitely
something I'm interested in, so I guess those will do
as some party favors.
We also have a cake.
You can kind of see it.
We've got a little Mario and a little Luigi. (laughs)
It looks so good.
But first, we have some controllers charging,
and I also need to update my Switch.
I haven't played Mario Kart in a while
so I gotta make sure I have all of the updated DLC.
It's updating, it's happening, big news.
(children yelling)
Okay, so I came in first, but that doesn't mean anything
because that's against the computers
but against my friends who I know are
really good at this game, it's not gonna stand up.
(digital music)
- Wow. We have a lot to do.
- [Justine] I know.
- Oh my God. I thought it was just like, hang up a banner.
- [Justine] No.
(digital music)
This is so ugly.
Like it's all wrinkled, but it's what we're doing.
(plastic crinkling)
It's what we're doing.
Where will the trophy go though?
(dog bark echoes)
Oh Jesus, sh-
(Jenna laughs)
- [Jenna] The trophy, probably next to the TV.
Oh, no, no, no. That'll get knocked over.
and then you can have the light like a spotlight on it.
- Great idea, Jenna.
- [Jenna] Yeah.
- Great idea.
How did you do this?
(cardboard snaps)
That's great.
(digital music)
It's party day, Jen.
- Party day.
(digital music)
- [Justine] Oh my God, someone's here, Someone's here.
I feel like I'm like you know in the retirement home here.
(imitates old woman) Oh.
Do you remember the party in 2014?
- [Guy] Oh yeah. - [Justine] Yes.

They're like, oh, sorry. We are out of helium today.

(party music)

This is unlike anything I've ever seen in my entire life.

- [Guy] It's okay.
(Justina laughs)

- [Justina] Oh my God.
It's the best thing I've ever seen.

but we can imagine that it says happy birthday.
Your first cake.
(party music)
(Jenna laughs)
- Oh man, we're having some cookie, okay.
- What flavor do you want?
Wow, I love when It's not cooked on the inside.
- Oh my God.
(party music)
