Like sometimes you're like, man, 13 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: we haven't even gone anywhere on a vacation, just the 14 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: two of us and spent some time together. So me 15 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: being the good husband that I am, the other day, 16 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna take you 17 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: somewhere you've never been before.

You did Ikea 20 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: for the first time ever. She's never been to Yeah, okay, 21 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: don't call me crazy, Alex has literally never been to Ikea, 22 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: and the other day I was like, you know, we're 23 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: gonna do We're gonna go international for a little while. 24 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: So I took her on a trip to Ikea for 25 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: a first time ever. We first time. Yeah, it's not 26 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: like you wanted to take me those because I went 27 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: there for a specific thing, right, I've never been there 28 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: to order online, and Alex has been looking for a 29 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: certain kind of like, um, a shelf thing, and I 30 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: was like, shelves, and I saw these beautiful, perfect ones 31 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: that when they're cheap, they're just totally what I need. 32 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: And you can't order them online there you have to 33 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: go to the store to pick them up or else done. Yeah, 34 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: I would have just shipped right to my house. She 35 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: shared that with me, and I was like, well, let's 36 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: go to Sweden. You've never been before. Let me take you. 37 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: Passports ready, and we drove to Ikea. So we get 38 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: there and basically what I did wrong was you know 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: how you grab those things to put all of your 40 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: furniture on, right? Yeah? Yeah at the end, oh the 41 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: big thing, yeah at the end. Right. Well, I don't know. 42 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: I've never been to Kia either. I mean it's from Europe. 43 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: So but this is my first time hearing about it. All. Right, 44 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: here we go. So you like, you don't push it through, right, 45 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: you wait till the end because you can pick out 46 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: the stuff that you want and then you have to 47 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: pick it out yourself at the end, right right, you 48 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: go through and you write down the numbers. Yeah, so 49 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: Juble like is pushing this thing that we shouldn't have 50 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: pushed yet. It's been a while since I went I can. 51 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: I was like, I think I got this too early 52 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: because I don't think I should have this yet, but 53 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: just in case, I'll take it through them. We ditched 54 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: it halfway through and then I didn't realize we're about 55 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: like ten or maybe fifteen minutes in walking through this 56 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: freaking maze of a warehouse. There was an actual path 57 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: that you have to stand. You didn't realize tell because 58 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: genius over here who took me to Sweden and didn't 59 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: tell me. Sometimes doors that they have opened every single 60 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: wearing I'm supposed to go through the door. It's a 61 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: short cut. It's a short cut. You're gonna miss the 62 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: whole cabinetry section if you go through there. You gotta 63 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: stand the beaten path. Yeah, and then one time she 64 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: walked off of the beaten path and I was like, 65 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: you got to stay on the gray path with the 66 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: it's a gray it's gray and it has arrows every 67 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: once in a while. Dude, I didn't know. I walked 68 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: seventeen miles at IKEA. Yeah, I should have explained that. 69 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: I should have sat down before we went in the 70 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: amusement park and been like, here's how we do it. 71 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: Here's the map. You walk through. You take a piece 72 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: of paper and a pencil with you that they have 73 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: ready for you, and then you just write the item 74 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: numbers down as you walk through this place, and then 75 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: you pick up the stuff at the end with the 76 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: big cart that you don't need to you know, have 77 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: with you the whole way through. It's very small boxes, right, 78 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: so smart. However, if they have, you know, stuff available 79 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: for you to pick up, that would be nice. That's 80 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: a great business idea. It's like the stuff that you 81 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: put on the floor should be available. Way that almost nothing. 82 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: Not only did every single thing that I went there 83 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: for was not available. It wasn't available on lene to 84 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: ship to my house. It wasn't available in store because 85 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: it's all sold out. So every single one of them 86 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: that I liked was not available. How many hours do 87 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: you made me waste? How many hours? Literally literally hours? 88 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: I was there for two hours and I and I 89 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: busted through that place as quickly as I was. Actually 90 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: probably the quickest I've ever been through idea. It was 91 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: a busy about five hours to get through that place properly, 92 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't busy. How many stars do you give Sweden 93 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: if you're a Yelp review of it, not five? It's 94 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: got to be that location. But if all the other 95 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: locations are like this location, then I'm going to have 96 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: to give it because it's a good business idea. It's 97 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: like a good theory, so it has potential. Well, and again, 98 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: before you give your own swe you have to think 99 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: it's just the fact that they didn't have the stuff 100 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: that you wanted. It didn't have pretty much anything. No, 101 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: but everyone wanted what you wanted. No, God, take a 102 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: million skews of that store. I'm not even freaking exaggerating. 103 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: Nothing hardly at all was in stock what kind of 104 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: It's the only time, but they pay for running this place. 105 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: And Nika's defense, it's the only time I've been there 106 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: where that much stuff is out of stock. Okay, well 107 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: stuff was in stock then it would have been freaking awesome. 108 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: But since it wasn't, I'm going to have to give 109 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: my experience the first time I went there one and 110 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: a half because it's a great theory. Only yeah, it's 111 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: a one happened. I did, come on, there was nothing 112 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: get into like a two. I'm telling you. Like the 113 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: layout of it, and like how they the business, like 114 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: idea and how it all works, and like taking the 115 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: pencil and like writing it down and like getting yourself 116 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: that's freaking awesome. The fun part two is though, when 117 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: they do have stuff, you take it home and then 118 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: you've got to spend time figuring out how to put 119 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: it together. That's another thing. They have people who will 120 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: come to your house and put it all together for 121 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: you if they have stuff to sell. So it's a 122 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: one and a half for me. So wow, I think 123 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: it's still successful date night though, Well maybe now because 124 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: you've been to an Ikea. I haven't been to an Ikea. 125 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: You can be my guide. Yeah, Evan's next texting four 126 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: one oh six one.
