And then can we make sure we don't ████ >> [laughter] >> It's a first date. >> Okay, a first >> A first date? First date. That's the most you could do. >> Do that now though. >> But then like I get that but I don't you want to add something like right after? Can't you go to a cafe right after or something? Why Why do you got to go home after the store? >> Not all of us are the biggest sweeties ever. >> But that's a That's a basic. There's a
3:22 Starbucks in the ████ Ralph's. >> Yeah, so why you going to another coffee store? >> No what to talk about. >> No, but legit why are you going to another coffee place if there is a a Starbucks in the Target? >> Cuz it's not a good place to have a date. >> Not bad ambiance. >> That's like a to-go counter. >> Yeah, if you're going if you're going to go to a store like that, you got to go to a store like that where it's already connected to other ████ like the mall, like the Galleria, like the whatever. So if you might go to Target but then there's other ████ to do. >> You know, you guys come from You guys come from such a privileged play Oh, yeah. Living in a big city like this, you have so many options. >> Oh. >> And in little towns, the main show is Target. >> You go to Buckey's. >> Or Buckey's. >> Is that where you're running for mayor? >> That's all you got? >> [laughter] >> That's all you got. >> Mayor of this town? >> So, you either go
4:12 to their Walmart or Target. >> Okay. Okay. >> [laughter] >> Back Back then, I do remember feeling like uh but this >> obviously high school is early 2000s. I do remember feeling like going to Barnes & Noble's exclusively with like a girl felt like [snorts] you would at least tell your boys like, "Hey, is it is it kind of like a date?" Cuz you wouldn't know cuz as a kid, you have so limited options. Right? Like sometimes you can't even be out late at night officially. And by that time, if you're going to break rules and be out late at night, that's not a date. That's like a you're doing stuff. >> And there's curfew cops and ████ so you can't even do anything. >> So, like the idea of like hanging out after school one-on-one, sometimes you would only have like Borders or Barnes & Noble's or some ████ >> That's true. >> I feel like that was like I see how that's gray area to you in high school. >> But that's why I think this is parlaying into our now because some people only did that and then that right now they're saying, "Of course it is."
5:02 >> So, oh, wow. Okay. So, more people normalized that that's considered a date. >> Going to the store is the date? >> Damn, this gen the gen really got no money at all, huh? >> So, let's say let's say let's say, "Yo, um I'll take you to a market." And you're like, "Why?" It's like, "You'll see." And then um just >> buy groceries so their fridges full and they think about you when they >> You just buy fish. >> [laughter] >> Random just buy You're just hanging out at Ralph's and just filling up the cart. You're like, "You like this?" Like, "I love that." And then you're like, "You like this?" And then you just fill it up and you'll be like you buy it and you're like, "All right." That's yours. >> Look look at this. Manager special, so you're getting a better >> Yeah. >> Because it's closer to expiration date, but we're going to use >> Isn't that like going to the LV store? >> When I first moved out to Hollywood, if some someone did that for me, that's a date. >> Right? That's ████ sick.
5:52 >> All my problems. God damn. >> romantic. >> Yeah, that is. >> Killer opener with Nikki is after I went on this date with her, I I pretended to drop a Ralph's Ralph's gift card for 50 bucks. And I was like, "Oh, you dropped this s███." And I gave it to her. And yeah, cuz she was a poor ass ████ at the time. >> Ralph's? >> Yeah, I gave her a $50 Ralph's gift card. >> And you didn't tell her it was from you? >> No, I said she dropped it. >> Yeah, and she and you didn't like It wasn't like >> That's me being a smooth boy. >> You should have dropped the Ralph's card. >> Wait, how is it smooth? She's just going to think God just left her a ████ gift. >> She knew it was me, but it's less cool to just give it to her. >> If he does it completely anonymous, where she has NO CLUE? >> YEAH. >> [laughter] >> THAT'S ALL LIKE, "HEY, YOU DROPPED SOMETHING."

6:43 YEAH, I COULD FINALLY BUY TV DINNERS. >> [laughter] >> DUDE, whoever dropped this, I would suck their dick. >> He just took credit when I didn't take credit. But no, what Anthony's saying or what you guys are saying is exactly right. Like, that was a pimp move by me, credit to me, because she needed the ████ lift up. She had like 50 cents in her bank account at the time. >> Okay, maybe maybe we're underestimating how bad Gen Z has it. Like, maybe these things really are like seen as >> bucks is like a hot Cheetos now, you know? Like, it's different. It's different time. >> Depends on what age though, right? Like, when you're a teen, like, it's like you could take anybody anywhere and it's cool. >> It is. >> It cuz it's just >> Yeah, when you're a teenager, yeah. >> But by the time you're 28, that's kind of weird to take her to Target. >> Maybe it's similar to how we used to hang at the mall. Cuz if the mall's considered a store, then we did that all
7:33 the time. >> Mhm. >> Those were dates. >> It's true. >> You just go to the mall with a girl and and walk around, look at stuff, talk, chat, food court. >> If you and Smacgo to the mall now, you don't consider that a date night, right? >> No, not now. >> Isn't that weird? >> Yeah, it's really talking about going to Michael's and Hobby Lobby. >> No, not that specifically.
