I'm Josh Johnson. I'm a writer for the Daily Show, and I'm joined by my co host,

The Fact, the legend, the menus. I don't know what fact meant, the fact that you said the fact, The factor says slow. You have to keep it now information, Joshua. Now you are a writer on the Daily Show. I'm gonna corresponded, but I didn't want to say you happy New Year. Me grow. Oh yeah, happy New Year. Happy mo fucking new Year. Now listen. One of my friend was like, oh, this year should be great because it's our Jordan year. Does that mean I guess that was

his number? It was his number, but a lot of there have been a lot of athletes in the history of sports that have not done well with the number twenty three. I understand it is going to be some people's Jordan year, but you can't tell me anyone that's ever put on the number twenty three jersey for football, for you know, basketball, well, you know, and everyone people turned thirty three, they're like, oh, it's your Jesus year. Just died and came back on the third day. That's

why we have a whole religion insa. They're like, oh, is your Jesus. I don't think anything happened. No, it was a pretty big year for him, But yeah, I don't think it means something has to happen for me every time. I don't think. Yeah, like, I don't even remember what year that was when I was thirty three, so nothing could have happened because I don't think it would pop out to you. Yeah, yeah, like I don't remember when I did it. Uh yeah, twenty sixteen, all

twenty sixty. Well, twenty sixteen is when I moved to LA and I was really doing stand up full time, so I guess it did do a thing. Hey, you are really out here everything that full Jesus year I was reborn, you know what I mean, because I stopped into a different lifestyle, truly, because I was you know, I was able to stop selling stucco, stopped doing bilingual

customer service. If you motherfucker's email me again. I remember one day and when um, I was taking a nap m and I got a call from this woman and she's called from a temp agency, yeah, offering me a job. I said, ma'am, I'm not available for this job. And I tried to hang up the phone and she wouldn't let me. I guess they really needed a bilingal customer service age. I was like, ma'am, I don't even live

in Georgia. I like how you tried to hang up, and she the idea that she didn't let you, the idea that you were about to hang up, and that she's on the other end, Like, I guess you're just gonna let him die then, and then like, you're like, wait, what what does that mean? Because she was like, because she was getting an attitude with me, and that's what I was not understanding. M. I don't know how. I

don't live in the state of Georgia anymore. M was not of a viable answer, so like, an't even Georgia. I'm sorry you can you take me off your list or whatever? She's like, I mean, I just don't understand it. And I just went Google me and I hear Google you, I said, because I had time now, M, and we've made a part that day, right, Sloan, I don't oh, oh okay, yeah, I see what you mean. Thank you think I'll take you off your list? Thank you saying

congratulations about your successes and thank you so much. Yeah you know, you know you always turned someone into a friend, right or a swan Because something came up through the other days of Colic and he was like, hey, don't say arch Nemesis, and I was like, whoa, whoa to be your nemesis, I have to know your last name, which is what an arch Nemesis would say. Though to be fair, that's a that's high. You can't you can't be like I don't know you well know, to be

your arch nemesis, that's one thing. But the way you said it was exactly how an arch nemesis would say it. Because I was like, Sir, I really don't have it. And then he said something slick, and I said, you know what, let's go. You want a nemesis. Oh I'm not because I just I didn't want Honestly, I just don't care enough to be his arch nemesis. Yeah, you know what it feels like. Uh, And for the listeners,

we're gonna get into the episode in a second. But what what it feels like being your friend and watching you move through the world and also watching you tell stories. It feels like when you're telling me the thing. This is now the confessional booth from when the thing happened. But sometimes you'll tell me about a thing and I don't know if you forgot I was there, but I saw it happen. So then now you're telling me your friend you weren't. I wasn't there when you were talking

to him. But I've been there before when you've told me about things, and maybe I was in the background, or maybe I was at the club and you didn't know but like like the way that I'll see the thing happen, but then you tell me later. By the time it's in my head, it's like I'm watching Big Brother, and so you'll be at you'll be somewhere and so it'll say something and that you'll be like, don't try me.

Then you'll tell me about the thing, and you'll be like, and so what's going through my head in the moment, I was like, you get the confessional, It's it's the full edit in my head. Wow, talking about selling stucco. And you've brought us right into our topic today for the listeners. Today we're doing online shopping, yes, versus in store shopping. Okay, hallelujah. And I want to shout out real quick because we got this episode topic from someone

on Instagram leaving a comment. Because when you leave your comments, when you when you make your tweets and your hashtag hold up and when you comment on things under The Daily Show's page that have us on them, we do see them and we appreciate all of them. And so we saw this with i'd be a great topic. So shout out to I'm gonna try to say it right, but it's a handle so I feel less bad about mispronunciation. Um, ab chess or ninety two is where we got this from? Two? Yeah,

there must have been ninety one other ab chessers. No, just when they were born friends. Oh, yep, you're right, you're right. Maybe we could that part out. I'm not looking up that. I remember I had boobs when this man was born, not a person. M hm. Anyway, what side of the argument do you land on? Of course I'm in store shopping, you're in store. Okay, all right, this is this perfect thing I'm still weary about. Yes, Amazon has my shit, right, Amazon has a credit card information,

but I don't like it. Yeah, I don't like that. Now every website wants to store your card in a wallet, everybody, because like I remember when the Internet started, and what people don't realize was what I had a conversation with the money the other day and I was like, you know the noise that the Internet used to make? Yeah, yeah, the Internet used to be loud. They put that noise in because they didn't believe people would believe if they didn't have any noise. But my question is why was that?

Why are a group of adults sit in a room I just did on those sales. I think it's because what ended up happening was they were looking for sounds to make it sound like the computer was doing something right, and they needed to make people think that computer was putting in work all right. And those are the most stressed out sounds I've ever heard come out of a machine. So they did. They did right by their endeavor. When you would get this CD ROM from AOO and it

would go, you have this many hours of Internet? Could you imagine now somebody's saying to you you can only be on the Internet for thirty hours total, and then you have to buy more. It was a pay as you go internet. We'd live in a better world, to be honest with you, if there was a limit, if there was a limit on Twitter, if you could only do Twitter for twenty minutes, Oh we have to really

chill out. Well, remember when Facebook used to stop? So Facebook in two thousand and five, when I got on Facebook, which is okay, good God, good Jesus above. I got on Facebook in two thousand and five. Do you understand it's twenty twenty three before Facebook? Because I think when you were talking about this one day, everybody who updated their status you you're friends with, you'd see all all of that and then that was it, and then you're like, okay,

I finished Facebook. Oh so it would stop for you, Like it would be like that's all we got, right, So say I'm friends with two hundred people, Yeah, I for only thirty people updated their status or many people I knew. You'd scurorel to the end and it's like and we're done for today. My Space is the same thing. You remember how my space worked, whatememb Being a somebody's top eight was a big deal. What I'm saying is that the irons to be enough. It used to be enough.

And I remember when you didn't put your real name. Yeah, yeah, when everybody's email address was pony Girl seven, you know sixty two or you know wrestling Maniac eighty eight. My favorite handle to date is I was playing VR and I met this guy playing VR and his handle was Ferrari sixty nine. You know it. Good Jesus, Oh, good Jesus, because something happened. Something happened when the email came out and all of a sudden, all of us had to

be professional business accounts, like business emails. Yeah, like no one had a silly like, uh, my Hotmail account was deuced in a quarter, which is my nickname? Yea. My Yahoo account was do say two thousand? Do say also my nickname and the two thousand because it was literally the year two thousand at Yahoo dot com. But for some reason, when these Gmail email addresses came out, we

all got really everyone started using a real name. So me coming from the era of you know, black plan It, MySpace, college Club, Me, Henty Asian Avenue, all of these silly ass websites because my stace is really just trying to teach us all how to code and so coming from the air where you didn't use your real name on the Internet, And now all of my credit card information is just stored by con Ed the fuck. No, I don't need Forever twenty one to keep my credit card information.

I don't need Rainbow Clothing stores to have my credit at all times. I remember when it Rainbow. If you were going to pay with a debit card, you had to show them I D and if the back of your card wasn't signed, they wouldn't take it. Look, you know who already has your credit card information ready to go if you use it enough, if you're a loyal customer online stores. But that's what I don't like. I understand. But if these stores are doing it, what's the difference.

It's I prefer an arm. I'll tell you this. If I go in a store, it is beneficial for stores to me to go in a store, because I'm gonna buy more ship if I'm in a store. For the fact that you've gone in a target. Yeah, you've never gone to a target and not spent two hundred dollars I I but yeah, no, I you got a good job. Like when I didn't have the job I have now, or I could usually walk into a target get exactly what I was gonna get. Why do you close one eye?

I mean get exactly wink wink what I was. Yeah, if I came in here for a person some cheap ass ear rings, I'm getting a person some cheap ass earrings, maybe a snack, and I'm the fuck up out of here. Now I'm a target, Like, what's this? A little like cheap ass actually with a little goofy shit in the front that no one knows what it is. But you still want to buy it, that dumb shit because you need, because I need, because but if I'm on the internet,

I'm not gonna see these little impulse buys. I'm not gonna see this pack of gum at the register. There's no pack of gum at the register and an online store. You see what I'm saying. Sure, sure, I'm with you. But my biggest rebuttal to that is that sometimes you'll go in the store and they don't have what you want. Sometimes you will call ahead and ask them specifically if they have what you want, and they really don't feel like doing all that walking, and so they'll lie and

say they have what you want. And you get there and they have what you want. An online store will tell you up top, we ain't got any the one you like. It's not here, and we'll let you know. We'll send you an email when it gets here, but for today, don't waste your time. That's why that's why you go to the online store, see if they have it,

and then go to the store. Okay, but this is and this brings up an interesting point because what you're talking about is a bit of a of a hybrid situation using everything the pros of everything, which I am a huge fan of. But if we're talking real like real debate, okay, like real dire straits. And there are some stores that don't have an online website, and there

are some websites that have no physical location. If you had to choose between the two of those, you know what I mean, I feel like we'd still land with picking. I'm picking when I go walk in because one one, if you are a business that does not have a website, will you interact with people? Fuck are you doing? Fuck are you doing? When I see restaurants that don't have websites, I'm like, why I meant did say something? But Matt Richards said something to be interesting the other day. You've

never seen a Chinese food restaurant commercial? Yeah, no, because people know you just don't know. People know to come through, and they know when to come through because McDonald's that

commercials for years. Yeah. But McDonald's is trying to sell you on something that's not as timeless as Chinese food gimmick because because Chinese food, what they do so well is that a bunch of places, over the whole of our lives, as long as we've been eating Chinese food, we know that for every Chinese restaurant out there, there are some staples that they will have, and so there's a shared language there that even though all of Chinese

food is very different and all of the different restaurants are not a chain, we still know generally how to navigate based on having been to several Chinese restaurants, whereas with McDonald's, McDonald's might come to your country, they might be like, hey, have you ever heard of a big mac? Let me tell you about a big mac. You know, Chinese restaurants, they don't need to be like have you ever heard of chicken? That's not necessary. I'll tell you this.

We all saw the mcgriddle. We were like, wow, Wow, how did they come up with the technology? Right? Wait, what the mcgriddle? It's a pancake with the syrup on the inside. Yeah, they put sanza egg and cheese in the middle, and we're like, this is crazy. How did they do this? And then twenty sixteen, I mean the Beautified Higway Farmers Marketing Beautifed Highway Georgia in Atlanta, and I see this Korean street food. Oh so they've been

jocket Korean street food this entire time. It's a fucking ploy. Wow, it's the same if I were Korea I go, I go after him. I'd be like, hey, hey, I'd walk into any McDonald's in America be like, hey, and me my money. Stop the presses, Okay, cease and the motherfucker sessed. Stop pressing anything to the grill. Y'all can't afford today, all right, because I'm suing everything. I still hate putting my credit card information into the internet. I barely like

looking at my bank information anywhere. I don't like it. I don't. I've never liked it. I understand it's super fucking convenient, it's great. PayPal still freaks me out. All of this ship still freaks me out. I know that they can still your information like Target had, Like yeah, Target got got but they yeah, they didn't have that leak. They had that full on spill. That was it was. It was, that was everybody. It was, It was about these It was if you don't know what we're talking about.

Target had like a big hack and a lot of people's credit card numbers and like a lot of their information got for every if you want, if you thought about Target, your information got fucking leaked. Yeah it was, and it was in the I think the millions of customers, so everything really bad. I think had the same thing happened? Question did I'm always like, with these hackers, instead of stealing credit card information, just hack Sally May one time.

I guess you could do both, because then here's the thing both. I understand you got to get your money. Yeah, because niggas in the mask that get up in the anonymous. Yeah, Anonymous ain't hack Sally May order Freddie Mack. Yet also we talk a lot about Sally. Maybe we don't never talk about Freddie Mack, and I don't like that. I think that what's happening with anonymous is that they are more focused on like global issues, and like the like

economic issues will quickly get them caught. I don't think they'll be as anonymous if it like if they leak something from wiki leaks or something like that, if someone says something that on WhatsApp that's like hateful, it might lead to the you know, the persecution of a bunch of people. They jump in there and they're like, hey, this is this person by the way, just so you know they did it, and especially if they can uncover it.

I think that when it comes to the economic stuff, especially like student loan stuff, I think they know that they would get got so fast that they're like, we don't need those problems. Oh, because there's not enough VPNs. You can't jump off enough servers. No, No, America does

not play with money. No, she never has because I don't, which I always thought was interesting because my mother told me anything, if you want to change anything in America, you fuck with the white man's money because you've come for someone's money. Hey, this is we're playing a different game now, Like if you're playing politics, it's like some

nothing may come of anything. Right, people can talk and talk and talk all day, like a lot of what if you look at some of the stuff Anonymous has done, A lot of it started as like truly pranks and like things that were sort of taking the piss out of you know, politicians and stuff. Money is you gotta be real careful because America's a business. America's a business

first and foremost. Yeah, I think people forget. I think some people when they were in school, they weren't paying attention enough to realize that America is a business has always been a business. I don't think online shopping could have popped anywhere like it did here anywhere, but here like America is so business orient convenience oriented. I don't think that online shopping would have had the same effect because it's like, I know there's times from just like

I need to do exit. And that's not only the online shop. It's like when you think about like just Uber Eats or something like that, Like the other day it was like, hey, I need some stuff from the drug store. I truly do not have time. What if someone just brought this to my house. The fact that there when I was a kid, that wasn't a thing because we had stopped doing like pizza and Chinese food got delivered. You had to go to McDonald's. Yeah, yeah,

everything betweets and Chinese food delivered. Everything else you had to go pick up. New York is different just because if everybody went to McDonald's, yeah, the whole thing. If everybody went to go get what they needed in New York, the city would shut down. There's too many humans in

the street, so you needed. I think online shopping has it's benefits, but the thing that's but the cons are so you know, I went on vacations last month and I needed a new babe in suit as my mamma cause it and I ordered a bunch of bathing suits because they don't we don't sell bathe suits in the wintertime, yeah, in department stores. So I had to order a bunch of bathing suits off of Bezos's Internet. I now have

eleven bathing suits that I have to return. And you can't just go to because before Amazon would come to you if you had to return something. They don't do that anymore because they realize that people are lazy enough, well they'll forget to return something and then they just don't wrap the refund people. They just have the money. So now I have until the thirty first to return

eleven bathing suits that don't fit. And that's I think is the pitfall with online shopping because now if something doesn't work, if something doesn't fit, now I have to go to the Whole Foods to find the Amazon locker to return this fun I bought a tea kettle from fucking Amazon fresh out the box. Did not work. I don't have someone else return it. I think at a shorter return window or a misster return window, because I think the emailed me and they were like, hey, we

charge you, and I was like fuck. But I was on the road and again. And that's the thing. If you don't return it, you bought it. Okay, So I promise you right now, these eleven bathing foods, Oh, they're going the fuck back. I'm with you. I'm in full support of everything that you said just now as a con because I accept them as cons of online shopping.

This is this is where I think that online shopping is a bit superior in that we don't give credit to online shopping for the things that in store brick and mortar stores do that ends up being online. So, for instance, with online shopping, hey, we will let you know when the thing is back in stock. You'll get an email from us as soon as the thing is back in stock, and we can send it to you.

If you're at a brick and mortar only store and they don't have what you want, they're not calling you a week from now to be like, hey, by the way, we got it. Maybe a comic book shop will do that. That's the only person I've ever had hit me up after I've been in there looking for something specific and then left my info with them, and then they hit me up and they were like, hey, we we got it. If you want to come back through right aspect when I was a little Yeah, all right, so say keep

going yeah um yeah. Now now if they don't have what I want, I just leave. I don't tell them to content me. Hey listen, I don't need it that bad now, Okay. I was like Josh Johnson walking in at thirty two years old, being like, yeah, I need the Superman number eight hundred and sixty five. Yeah, paragraph, um, paragraph, the idea. The most assultic thing about that whole like rant you just went on was that I'd buy just

the paragraph. You know what. They had the new Man Boy, the New Spider Man, the boy that came out to Miles Morales. This is my question. If the daddy black and the mama Puerto Rican, and the daddy is there, how is his last name Morales? Is the daddy also Latino? I mean maybe he was mad at his daddy, you know, baby, he's like, hey, I go with maiden names when you're not acting right, Okay. Because I saw that and I was like, Okay, that's awesome. It's a whole Afro Latino family.

And they're like, no, the dad's black and the mom is Puerto Rican. So I'm like, is this his stepdaddy. Look, I'm I'm not gonna lie to you. I haven't kept up hard. I haven't listen when there's like a because he's like in a multiverse, right, when there's a spider pig and all kinds of shit, right, you might be asking the wrong one. I'm is that not your universe? It was not. I liked it growing up, but I

have not read Spiderman in quite a while. I think that I just used it as an example because to me, there are things that we think brick and mortar stores do. There are actually aspects of online shopping, and I think that you gotta pull that over. If we're splitting it down the middle, you gotta push that couch on my side, because the notifications and the recommendations are you're gonna get

those mainly online. You might go into a brick and mortar store and find a sales associate passionate enough to help you find the right top for you, the right pants that look good, that's not just trying to upsell you. You might find that genuine person. They're out there, but there's a higher likelihood that, based off what you like, a website will pick something else that you might like and be right, but I'll say this, what I really need need something, it's not on a store, it's not

on the end. It's sold out. When I really need something, it's never there. No. I really needed some black flats O. The store didn't have them. They had to mail them to me. I needed a new purse, store didn't have it. I'm gonna have probably have to find one a line, like a real leather purse, because my friends have shaved me and told me that I can afford a real leather purse because at one point my other purse was peeling. So they're like you making yeah, yeah, you have a

good job, your purse can't be peeling. Um, But I've it's very rare. I go into a store and I'm just like, black leather purse, it's what I need. It's it's like it's a lot of times I can't find what I want anyway. So going into a store, it's like, hey, you know what, I didn't find what I wanted. I didn't find what I needed, but I found something that works. Oh, I just realized another thing, another pro for online shopping. When you're online shopping, do you mean food or stuff? Um,

I guess I was thinking just stuff for this episode. Okay, because I had them delivered grocery, I did, Amazon delivered groceries to me. Yeah. Yeah, I never want another human being to pick up my fruit or meat ever again. Oh really, I never want another person to pick up my produce or my fruit or my meat again. Wow? Ever again? Yeah, I've realized while you were talking before. Another pro, especially for us of online shopping. Nobody follows you in the store. You know it's following you through

the internet. Yep, yep, you're really just out here, free to shop in peace, in bed, in pajamas. Maybe it's snuggie, Yeah, doing that experience in a brick and mortar. Roll up to a brick and mor store with a snuggie right, No, their stories you can walk through with his nail. There are some, but try just walking through a store without getting looks, especially depending on the store. There are people who use the internet to find the dress they want to wear for their wedding. Roll up to a wedding

stress store with a snuggy. Odd, they won't even let you try stuff off. They'll be like, no, no, you're clearly going through something. No, you clearly it's musty under that snuggie broe. Being musty is one of the cardinal sins of black people. Yeah, it really is. It's like it's one of those things where it will change your

whole view on the person. Like someone could be giving a lecture at a university, but if you pass them and they got they got that, you know that that smell, that's it's bo but it's also choked, like they've been choking stink all day. Like you can tell they put on extra layers so the stink wouldn't get through if someone smells that on you, no matter what your lecture was about there, Like I bet you you were wrong. I bet you not as smart as I thought you

were because you sting. We are so funny about smelling good. Yeah, yeah, I will even have I've had the thing where this is really unfair because you know, you know about pheromones, right, I love pheromones, but they will. But the thing is because you don't have any siblings, right, No, there's something that happens when you're a teenager, and I probably this is probably just nature yours, especially like a brother to a sister or just a brother or just a son.

Boys when they go through puberty smell like a family member. Male smell terrible. Yeah, my brother fresh out the shower, remember mother yelling at him, being like what the fuck? And he's like, I just took a shower. Pe you. I don't it must be all right, but yeah, tell about your phaomones. Doctor put it. It's not my pheromones. It's a it's a thing I witnessed. I was. I think I was playing. I was. I was like playing

soccer with some people. And afterwards, uh, we met up with some friends and they were all talking about so we all stink from running around in the sun and like trying to score goals and stuff like that. And there was this dude who was already good looking, but the way that the that the women in that group, we're trying to get near him, and we're talking about how good he smelled when he was gone, when he

was in the bathroom. I was so upset because I know that they were going off those pheromones he was dropping from, you know, just having rippling muscles, maybe muscles sweat different and I have no idea, but the way that they were gone about the farebats, I was like this dude can't be good looking and have good stink sweat. That's not fair. I'll tell you that. I saw a study one time where they took it was like a college. They had just women just wear T shirts like before

their cycle, during their cycle, and after their cycle. And they gave these T shirts to men, like you know, college age boys, and they were like, smell these shirts. How attractive do you think the person is? And they tracked that right before the menstrual cycle, of course, is where all these men were like, yo, who was this person? Yeah? She smelled like a good person. Yeah, she smells like she's beautiful. I am someone who had to have planned be delivered to me, and that that is a blessing.

The other benefit of an online store no lock up. You're not going to Walgreens hitting the button, wait for somebody to shut like run by and be like which one do you want to get, and then unlock the thing and then pull it out for you online shop and you just add the cart. Honestly, when are we gonna just make the whole store that? Yeah, it's almost there. It's like the only thing they haven't locked up is the chips. When they started locking up baby formula. I

was like, this country's trash. We have a little bit of pride where when someone comes here and talks about how trash we are, we get defensive. But it's so funny when I travel and I'm like, oh, y'all don't in the street. Y'all don't like it's like you don't even have a way to bridge two ideas. Like I'm being in the UK, like being in London and going on like their Walgreens which was called Boots, and I was like, nothing was locked up. Now it was nothing

locked up. They'll get few recommendations. This this thing I liked because when we were in London and I remember I had to get that um I got something because I had hurt myself, right, so I was trying to get some real pharmacy. We went to a real pharmacy and there was just one day that was like, look it's Russian. I don't know what it says, but it works, Russian tailing all. Yeah, she gave those Russian tail at all.

And I was like, wait, so are you saying like is this over the calendar or is this She's like it's a little strong, Like I was like, she was like how much she what hurts here. None of the package was in English. None of the package was in English. I don't even know how she knew what she was telling because when I was in the Bahamas, one of my friends had lost her in Hailer and another friend of the bugs were just really eating her up and

she was having a bad history interaction. And our chef told us to go to the pharmacy, and she's like, just tell them you need to do in Hailer and just and she just gave her and in Haler just Albuterol and Hailer, and then gave my friends some other prescriptions strength. And I'm just like, oh, yeah, back in this day, you used to be able to go to a pharmacy and go, hey, here's a problem. Yeah, I Will says a good point. That's the thing that I think the concession I can make is that brick and

mortar stores have better customer service than online shopping. Because online shopping they don't want they don't even want you to call. They won't tell you. You'll have to google the number. You'll google the number for a place that has a store that should have the number on the website. You can't call Amazon. Yeah, you can't, there's no number.

Amazon has no customer service. And for as large as that company is, as someone who worked customer service for like twelve years, a fact that a company that big doesn't have customer service is insane. It shouldn't be legal. It shouldn't. I can't call Where is my waffle iron? That up? It's not updating? I got kids in here. I'm supposed to be, haven't top of the line four Bernard top waffle iron trademark by waffle House Waffle irons brow It comes with a fight in every box? Yeah,

where is? There's no one to call? As soon as you open the box, you get a punch in the face. Truly, And a convict is cooking your eggs m hm because he's good at it, right, delicious? Delicious? Where the fuck is? You can't call? You can't call Amazon and find out you're not? Yeah, you're not wrong, So I think it's not kicked us over to the listeners. Did we make valid points? I think we made a few. I think we made at least two weeks each a loose to each.

Tell us what you think? Do you think online store or in store shopping? I'm gonna be in store shopping all the way because I like to touch the feel of cotton, the fabric of our lives. You know, I see what I'm saying. I I'm gonna I'm gonna be online shopping because I care about the future, and I think that there's even more innovations to be made. I think we've taken the brick and more store as far as it's gonna go. I think that everything that's coming

for the future of shopping is gonna be online. So you know what needs to happen, you know how like food trucks when they get to a point, they could do brick and mortar store. Yeah, we need you remember the bookmobile when you were a kid. Yep, that's what we need to start doing with these trucks. Mob the stores, baby girl. Okay, Yeah, pull up in your neighborhood with the essentials. This sounds like the most kidnappable store I've

ever heard. You're gonna roll up and they'd be like, come on in and get your supplies, and then you're just gonna close the van and drive off. It's like it could be like a bookmobile situation, or it could be like an ice cream truck situation. We pull up, you see the pictures on the side, Like, yo, let me get some toilet paper, let me get some paper towels, let me get some dishwashing liquid, let me get some diapers, let me get some tampons, cat food, and I'm out.

Just roll up in your neighborhood, Okay, I mean yeah, I think I mean that would be the evolution of the brick and mortar store. I think that's the next step because, like say, someplace like here, people gotta go to the train. People gotta do this again, Like, could you imagine if a mobile, if just J. C. Penny just pull up in your neighborhood. Also, they keep telling me there's not on the end of it, and I don't believe them. Yeah, Dillard's pull up, Yeah, Dillards, pull

up in the apartments, you know, nor strom rack. Let's go. There's a dressing room in this bitch, I understand, pull up, there's a fitting room. I've been one of those wardrobe trucks on set.
