- Thank you so much.

- Yeah. I love you.

This is so great.

I'll have my phone with me.

I'll be home pretty early, I think.

Okay. I love you.

What?

What the f*** is this?

This is the Red Bull Limousine, fellas.

You are now looking at the face

and body of Red Bull.

Wow! Congratulations, man!

Right? Since this is our final Christmas,

I figured we could do it in class.

Seriously, this is what the spirit

of Christmas is all about.

A rich athlete finally getting

the corporate limo that he always wanted.

- Exactly!

- I think so.

Let's go, get in.

You gotta see this. Come on.

Cool!

Yo, it's the Red Bull Limo, guys!

All right.

Yo! What's up, everybody?

This your man, C-Rob.

We in the Red Bull Limo.

And we Dom P'in it, we have Cristal in it,

Hennythuggin' it...

and we got Red Bull!

I'm capturing this

on my Sony Xperia Ultra phone.

No matter what the light,

the picture's right. All right?

This your man, Chris Rob, coming at you.

What happening? Peace!

Peace!

And, Internet.

- His social media game is crazy.

- On point.

- Really on point, yeah.

- On point.

Five million people

probably just saw that.

Hey there.

Didn't wanna interrupt

while you guys were rolling back there.

Great video, by the way.

I just watched it.

That was fast.

My name's Joshua. I'm gonna be your

Red Bull-provided driver for the evening.

First stop:
Rockefeller Center, right?

- Great, thank you, Josh.

- Raise partition.

Nice meeting you, Josh.

I'm doing the hang-loose thing too much.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll call you. There we go.

Check out what Betsy gave me.

It's a bunch of drugs.

We eat a little 'shrooms...

to kinda trip out a little bit,

look at the lights, all the sparkly lights.

Let's start with the champagne.

Yeah, sure, yeah. Yeah!

Aim it out the window,

aim it out the window!

- So what's up, E? How's life, man?

- Life is good!

- Yeah?

- Yeah, dude.

How's the music going?

Any gigs coming up?

Not gigs, but gigs are overrated, dude.

People are just on their phones

the whole time.

- You know what I mean?

- Totally, yeah.

The thing I'm working on now...

you really have to listen to it

start to finish. It's a concept album.

What's the concept?

I'm still conceptualizing

that part of it...

- but it's all about who you know...

- C-Rob, will you sign this?

- ...more than anything.

- Wait up, wait up.

How's it going? Hey, merry Christmas.

- Photobomb!

- There you go. All right.

That just happens now?

People love C-Rob.

So how about Diana?

You talk to her?

How's things going with that?

Hate to see that one get away, you know?

- It's still over.

- It's over. Don't worry about it.

But it's okay. It's no one's fault, really.
