Brie Larson & BFF Courtney McBroom Compete in Party Hosting Skills

[Narrator] We challenged best friends

and professional party hosts, Brie Larson

and Courtney McBroom to test their entertaining skills

in five increasingly difficult tasks.

Each challenge is worth one point.

The person with the most points at the end wins.

Chairs. Chairs.

[both cheering]

I know what's gonna happen. I'm gonna win.

I already know that I'm gonna win, actually.

You're about to find out.

[Brie laughing]

[upbeat music]

Oh [beep].

[Courtney laughing]

This is not gonna be good.

[Narrator] First challenge: make

a French 75 without the recipe.

First to complete the task will hit the buzzer.

[Interviewer] How do you guys feel about this?

Who do you think's going to win?

As the resident chef, I would hope.

Let me put it this way, if Brie wins,

it's because I taught her well.

You never taught me how to do this.

What does 75 mean?

Well, maybe you should read our cookbook

'cause there's a recipe in there.

I didn't read that.

[Courtney laughing]

[timer beeping]

[objects clattering]

Yep.

You can go with this

because you know what the deal is?

I'm not even the mixologist in this house.

I can't get this open.

Oh, too bad.

It's a little flip top.

It's a little flip top.

Oh, see, I always do freshly squeezed juice.

Thank you.

So I wouldn't know that.

Me?

I'm trash.

I know exactly how to use a plastic lemon.

[buzzer buzzing]

I read once in a sauce book to just do equal parts,

so I'm gonna do that with my sauce drink.

[ice clattering]

You [indistinct] shaking?

What the actual hell, girl?

[ice clattering]

Where's the top?

I stole it.

I stole it. [laughing]

'Cause I couldn't find mine.

[Brie laughing]

[Brie] You didn't make enough liquid.

[Courtney] Yes, I did.

What do you mean?

That's barely anything. This is how much.

[Courtney laughing]

[bottle pops]

Help me.

[Courtney] I'm scared of this part.

No, no, McBroom, no.

[bottle pops]

Oh, no.

What in the hell?

It's not my finest twist, but it's a twist, nonetheless.

[hand thudding]

[buzzer buzzing]

[Courtney laughing]

Care to have a drink?

Here, you taste yours and I'll taste mine.

And wait, no, the other way around.

Yeah. Let's taste each other's.

[upbeat music]

Excellent.

[Brie laughing]

It's so good. Yours actually taste nice.

Yours does, too. Really?

Mine's a completely different drink. [laughing]

They're both good.

Mine is much more gin forward.

I would argue that in many cases she did win

because she made an excellent drink.

It's just not the drink that we were trying to make.

[laughing]

Cheers. This one's all you.

Love you. Love you.

This is good. Yeah.

[upbeat music]

We are very equally matched.

We both love the art of photography.

[Narrator] Second challenge: set up

a Polaroid camera and take a selfie.

First to finish will hit the buzzer.

[dramatic music]

[laughing] You're such an asshole.

No.

[camera thudding] [Courtney screaming]

[laughing] Stop.

Oh, my God, I don't even know how to open these.

This is the hardest part.

Which way is this goddamn thing supposed to go?

[beeping]

We got this. We're artists.

[camera clicking] [camera whirring]

Oh, does that count?

No.

[bell dinging] [buzzer buzzing]

Gotta turn it on.

[both laughing]

[gentle music]

[camera whirring]

[Brie and Courtney laughing]

Well done.

[buzzer buzzing]

[upbeat music]

Oh, no.

[Brie laughing]

Oh, this is real.

[Narrator] Third challenge: assemble the most pieces

of mismatched Tupperware in two minutes.

Keep your hands up.

Don't you dare touch that box until she says-

Oh, miss rules all of a sudden.

Someone's here to follow the rules.

Yeah, rules were meant to be broken, you know that.

That's very true, I agree.

I agree with you. Yeah, I know you do.

Okay, my Tupperware cabinet is very well organized.

Why?

Because. Well, now I'm scared.

She's really gonna do well on this one.

Mine is not.

That's the point.

It's about the journey. [laughing]

[timer beeping]

[Tupperware clattering]

That's the wrong thing.

[Courtney] This is way harder than I thought.

[Tupperware clattering]

We can't hear you.

[Both] We're still [indistinct] Tupperware.

[Courtney] Look at the babies.

These are so cute.

Look at that.

That one already has a lid, so.

Oh, my God, the whole family's together.

I love that. I love them.

I'm so glad they found each other.

Ha!

Everything is wrong.

It's the wrong lid, it's the wrong size.

I need to win this one, guys.

I really need to win!

Everything's on the line!

I really need to win.

So cute.

What fits in there?

I love the little baby.

In what situation?

You can put cigarettes in there.

Yeah, I was thinking fried capers, but yeah.

These guys [indistinct].

Oh, there it is, there it is, there it is.

[timer beeping]

Oh no.

[Tupperware clattering] [Courtney laughing]

Why can I not find the right square?

[Interviewer] That's time.

[beeping]

How many did you get? 17.

I did very close to that.

Looks like old McBroom won this one.

Well played, good game, good game, good game, good game.

Good game, good game.

I can't wait for us to cry about this, remember

the good old days, like five to seven years from now, have

a nice French 7,500 straight from my bar

and weep a little bit about the time

that you kicked my ass at the Tupperware game.

Take some Polaroids of it.

Next?

[Narrator] Fourth challenge: recreate

the example floral arrangement in two minutes.

Best recreation wins.

Okay, well, let's see what happens.

[timer beeping]

[dramatic music]

Hello, we're both starting with the sunflowers.

That must mean that- That's right.

That's the correct thing to do.

That must mean that we're doing this right.

Got some droopy.

[women chuckling] [timer beeping]

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[Courtney laughing]

I didn't think it was gonna be easy.

It is most certainly harder

than I thought it was gonna be.

Oh, my God, Brie's kicking my ass.

I just looked over to hers for the first time.

She's like.

Okay, well, I guess flower arrangements aren't

necessarily my thing.

Oh, my God.

Why am I so bad at this?

[laughing] Just like awful at it.

You're officially the flower person of party people.

[timer beeping]

See, I actually mirrored this sort of droop here.

As you can see here, judges.

I did none of that.

The only thing that I regret is I wanted to count

every poof into the same amount of poof over here,

but I was a little distracted with Courtney throwing things.

This could be a little bit further to the right.

You see how?

I'm just saying. Yeah, no, totally.

Thank you for that and I appreciate the criticism.

[Courtney laughing]

Next time, I'll do better.

I like yours; it's a more minimal take.

It's like as if you made this, but it was a French 75.

[Brie laughing]

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

It's perfect. [laughing]

[cross talking]

Judges?

[Interviewer] I think it's great.

Yeah, okay.

Well, this is getting really juicy.

It's a bit of a back and forth.

This is why it takes a lot

of different party people to do a party.

Yeah.

[Narrator] Fifth challenge: remove the most Jenga pieces

in two minutes without knocking over the tower.

You ready to go down?

Born ready.

You were born ready to go down?

No, no, no, I was not.

I was born ready.

Period.

To go down. You go down.

That's what I meant.

You're going down.

[lively classical music] [timer beeping]

Oh, do we?

Yeah, we got to stack them on top.

It's like a real Jenga, right?

Oh, my God.

Oh [beeping].

We should gone over the rules before.

You think that as professionals

and as the creators of Jenga Bread,

that we know how to play Jenga?

The whole deal is scary.

Okay.

I've got some serious structural issues happening.

[Courtney laughing]

We're breathing heavily. [laughing]

My eyes.

[timer beeping]

Are you counting that?

I feel as though it should be counted.

[bell dinging]

How was it?

Good game, good game.

Good game. [laughing]

[Narrator] With three total points, Brie is the winner.

I'm feeling good even though I didn't win.

You did win in the end.

I won in my heart? Yeah.

Party people, cheers.

We don't say 'cheers', we say 'chairs'.

Chairs, y'all.

Okay, so ready?

One, two, three, go.

Chairs! Chairs!

Woo. Woo.

Let's get a picture.

[camera whirring]

I'm actually surprised that I won.

I am, too.

But I was humiliated in the Tupperware competition

and that's gonna sting for a bit.

And the French 75 one.

You were humiliated then, too.

I was also humiliated then, as well.

Thank you so much for reminding me. [laughing]

That's why we're such a great team.

That's right, we remind each other of our shame.

[both laughing]

Well, that's all we got.

Thank you all for watching.

And we really hope you learned something

from a couple of professional party people.

That's right. That's us.

Chairs! Chairs!
