He's jumping out of an helicopter. He- (sigh)
On his- oh no, are you bummed out by this?
Let me tell you something. I....
-you know..,-how did he agree to do this,-that's the thing he got dared
I'm like, "WILL you are talking about JUMPING OUT OF AN AIRPLANE"
"and I'm supposed to be OK with this???"
come on, -you have a family- YEAH I'm like DUDE
WHAT HAVE WE DONE
that's Jada Pinkett Smith on Jimmy freakin' fallon telling him how she feels about her husband
accepting our challenge to him
not in a million years did we ever think that posting a video on YouTube
challenging one of the biggest movie stars in the world
would actually get his attention.
So here's the full story of how this idea went from literally being a dream
to finally meeting the "fresh prince" in person.
Alright so.. on December 19th
Will Smith launched his YouTube channel
and we thought is was one of the best things that happened to the platform in awhile.
Will was one of our biggest models and now, all of the sudden, he is a fellow creator on Youtube.
After watching a bunch of his videos one night together
Ammar woke up early the next day from a dream involving Will
and proposed an idea.
Through the stories that he started to share on his social media
it sounded like Will is on a quest to complete his bucket list
and overcome the things that scared him the most.
"You fall out of an airplane and in 1 second you realize"
"that it's the most blissful experience of your life."
"Lesson for me was"
"on the other side of your maximum fear are all the best things in life."
So we saw that as a sign to take the bold route and challenge him.
And eight days later over 25,000 of you guys left comments on his channel letting him know.
And then... this happened.
WILL!!!!!!!!
BOY do you see me meditating?!
YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT!!
What man?
What the hell is Heli bungee???
We need to run a simulation.
I think it can be done.
At this point in time we honestly just didn't really know what to do with ourselves.
None of is felt real.
We met with his team a few weeks later to talk about the next steps,
and while at the office...
We did this.
Dude... I just stole F***ing Will Smith's plaque.
What?
We're gonna take it hostage.
Is this actually his?
It's Will Smiths... I'm- I'm sure they're not gonna mind but...
I mean we'll...We'll text him in the in the car I'll tell him, like, we took it
and then...
and then...but we'll return it later.
Wait what the f***? What are we doing?
You put your fingers on it.
LOOK! It's all stained.
Alright, so if you're wondering how the stunt never happened... this is why.
He just stole the f***ing plaque.
What are you doing?
I just took the plaque.
No way dude- YEAH!-
We're not taking this. Yes!-
(unintelligble) steal Will Smiths gold plaque!
(laughter)
We wanted an epic excuse to meet him in person...
So we went all out.
Will
or should I call you...
Fresh Prince
We took something from you...
That's right.
Your gold play button.
The one...
you were so happy to receive.
But i guess my godfather performance did not really grab his attention.
Now we had planned to spend the summer in Europe making videos.
So when his team told us Will would be shooting a movie in Budapest over the summer...
We thought -OOOHHHH, that's a big AAAOOOHH-
And after 3 weeks in Budapest... a meeting was finally scheduled.
Although as you'll quickly see, our excitement was short lived.
Alright looks like it's happening.
How you feeling?
I feel alright.
I think its been such a- we've had 2 months to mentally prepare to the moments where we meet this man
I don't know what I'll say
probably like -mmhhmm- (laughter)
But ahh -I loovee you-
Probably... probably something like that (laughter)
Ammar how you feeling?
Good... it's finally happening dude...it's very surreal.
It would be pretty sad if we walk up and then actually don't get to meet him
after two months of trying to get to him. I will f***ing break into his hotel room there's no way that today isn't happing
happening and I'm not meeting him. I will tackle his security. Sorry Will.
Whats going on? How you doing?
Good to see you -yeah- we met in the office.
I got little bit...
kind of bad news so it was cancelled, the flight... We're trying to make it happen but...
just what's the best corner to roll up in and cry like a little ball. This corner actually
right here that's the designated I'll see you guys in the cry corner we were
supposed to meet him during the big events happening but it got canceled
last minute and so was our meeting have you seen Will Smith anywhere no no
looking for him a few days after that however we got
notified that another meeting with will was scheduled to happen and luckily it
was during our final weekend in Budapest we were given the time and place and
then the craziest coincidence happened tomorrow we posted the first episode
we've ever film together and tomorrow is also the day we meet Will Smith and hit 2 million
subscribers that's a big day that's the convergence of a lot of class it blows
all our minds it is. if you had told us when we were starting 3 years from now you're gonna be in f***ing Budapest
like you're gonna have 2 millions subscribers and you're gonna meet will smith and film with him
it is literally exactly what he says in those interviews
that he hates the word realistic we've almost followed that to the dot and holy f*** it's
actually worked because he says yes he proved it to us
so he proved it to all these people watching us I love that of of his visit interviews he's like
just decide what it is you're gonna be and how you're gonna be it just decide then
the universe just gets out of your way it's like wow that's it it's just the
focus like what did we want to be what did we want to represent and it just led us
here it's F***ing awesome
I'm hype baby I'm f***ing hyped
gotta look fresh for The Fresh Prince. should i get a hair cut? oh I'm doing it
watch your step you might fall trying to
ok boys we're going have you got the goods
this is the moment we've been waiting waiting for for three months and it's
finally happening such mixes like emotions right now I'm like trying to
channel anxiety into excitement and Ammar I've never seen ammar this quiet
that's how he channels his energy he's like preserving it for the moment
walking up to the hotel room we're gonna meet him right now

other feeling
