Best friends Wallace Bryton and Teddy Craft host the popular podcast The NotSee Party, where they find and mock humiliating viral videos. Wallace announces plans to fly to Canada to interview the Kill Bill Kid, an Internet celebrity famous for severing his leg. In flashbacks spread throughout the film, it is revealed that Wallace was originally a failed standup comic who became popular with his increasingly vicious podcasts, and that he frequently cheats on his girlfriend, Ally.Upon arriving in Manitoba, Wallace is surprised to learn that the Kill Bill Kid died by suicide. Upset that he flew to Canada for nothing, Wallace decides to stay an extra day and find another person to interview. He finds a handbill from someone offering a room in his home for free and the guarantee of hearing a lifetime of interesting stories. His interest piqued, Wallace arrives at the mansion of Howard Howe, a retired seaman in a wheelchair. Howe tells the story of how a walrus, whom he named Mr. Tusk, rescued him after a shipwreck. Wallace then passes out from the secobarbital laced in his tea that Howe made for him. ........
