Instagram star/comedian The Fat Jew and adult film actress Sophie Dee also make cameo appearances in the funny and affectionate clip.

Dillon is also rolling out a headlining North American fall tour in support of the album. The Friends Rule Tour will kick off November 17 in Nashville, TN and stop in major cities across the U.S. and Canada before wrapping with a headline date at Brooklyn’s famed Barclays Center.
