WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.419 previously on the rom -com formula. That's me 00:00:03.419 --> 00:00:05.719 practicing for in -show narration voiceovers. 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.980 I've never booked a job in that genre, but maybe 00:00:08.980 --> 00:00:11.380 I should get my new marketing intern Brian to 00:00:11.380 --> 00:00:14.599 start working on that. Anyway, as I was saying, 00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:18.079 last week Claire almost screwed the pooch by 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:21.199 standing Tony up at his art show. I'm glad Tony 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.640 forgave her, but it was a dick move. Then, out 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.300 of nowhere, the rom -com universe intervened 00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:30.429 to get things back on track. Both Claire and 00:00:30.429 --> 00:00:33.130 Tony happen to have work trips in New York at 00:00:33.130 --> 00:00:37.450 the same time. What luck. I asked Brian if we 00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:39.549 should also come up with a reason to have a work 00:00:39.549 --> 00:00:41.810 trip in New York, but he thought that might be 00:00:41.810 --> 00:00:45.450 pushing it. Maybe I should start paying him to 00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:48.670 agree with me. Ugh, that old ball and chain. 00:00:49.210 --> 00:00:54.130 Oh, speaking of balls and chains, well, you'll 00:00:54.130 --> 00:01:02.030 see. Dude, Shannon, give me a minute for crying 00:01:02.030 --> 00:01:04.390 out loud. I'm just now walking out of my interview. 00:01:04.629 --> 00:01:07.390 I know. That's why I'm calling. I've been watching 00:01:07.390 --> 00:01:09.349 you move on my phone's little map. It's like 00:01:09.349 --> 00:01:12.329 real life Sims. Why did I ever share my location 00:01:12.329 --> 00:01:14.870 with you? Because it's sister code. What if you 00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:17.310 got kidnapped by pirates and I had to come find 00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:19.730 you? Pirates? Why would pirates be in New York 00:01:19.730 --> 00:01:22.010 City? Are you trying to enter a new genre and 00:01:22.010 --> 00:01:23.930 romanticy? Don't put your weird fantasies on 00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:27.010 me, man. Okay, maybe not pirates, but creepy 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:29.900 Republican finance bros? Fake starving artists 00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:32.620 in Brooklyn with spooky family money. The mole 00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:35.420 people. I don't know. Anyway, tell me about the 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:37.920 interview. Well, it was interesting. Better than 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.540 I expected, actually. It would be a four to six 00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:42.939 month contract position to help launch a new 00:01:42.939 --> 00:01:47.219 CPG line. CPG? No, let me guess. Cute Pagans 00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:50.739 Grinding. Caffeinated Pigeon Gang. Cursed Pizza 00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:56.060 Gremlins. Oh, so close. Consumer packaged goods. 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.159 Come on. They want a whole new visual ID, brand 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.859 system, and launch with a 360 campaign. Like 00:02:01.859 --> 00:02:06.099 TV, OLV, social activations, the whole bit. I 00:02:06.099 --> 00:02:08.860 only understood about half of that, but that 00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:11.580 sounds cool. Yeah. Could I live in New York, 00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:13.960 though? I mean, not permanently, obviously, but 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.259 would I even want to be here for that long? It's 00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:18.520 so expensive. That's the beauty of a contract 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.240 position. Live a little. Okay, I'll think about 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.780 it. So, what are you going to do for the rest 00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:27.240 of your time? Oh, I hadn't really thought about 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.120 it. I guess I'll catch a show on Broadway, hit 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.400 a few of the tourist spots. I don't have that 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.360 much time before I fly home tomorrow morning. 00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:39.840 Mm -hmm. Anyway, here's my Uber. I'll call you 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:47.699 later, okay? Okay. Have fun. That sneaky little 00:02:47.699 --> 00:02:51.750 turd. Brian, she didn't even mention Tony. I 00:02:51.750 --> 00:02:53.870 know he's there in New York, too. Because I told 00:02:53.870 --> 00:02:56.969 you. And can you blame her? She's tired of you 00:02:56.969 --> 00:02:59.210 trying to manipulate their relationship. Lucky 00:02:59.210 --> 00:03:01.469 for you, I happen to know that Tony's walking 00:03:01.469 --> 00:03:03.930 toward her right now. They made plans to meet 00:03:03.930 --> 00:03:08.629 up. Oh, really? Yeah, Tony and I are texting. 00:03:09.009 --> 00:03:12.610 Oh, you are? You really are buddies now. Hey, 00:03:12.650 --> 00:03:16.490 we've always been buddies. Aw, babe, I'm proud 00:03:16.490 --> 00:03:19.389 of you. It's so hard for middle -aged dudes to 00:03:19.389 --> 00:03:22.219 make friends. Okay, Shannon, keep your head in 00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:24.580 the game. I'm telling you that I've been texting 00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:28.319 with Tony, who's in New York, the most romantic 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.360 city in the world, with your sister. Okay, number 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.259 one, Indianapolis is the most romantic city in 00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:37.219 the world, followed closely by Paris. And number 00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:39.939 two, even though I know he's there with Claire, 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.319 I still can't believe she didn't tell me about 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.120 it. Seriously, her own sister. You're the only 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.319 person who finds the Midwest romantic. Anyway, 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.020 Tony knows that I know he's there, and he knows 00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:54.280 that you know that he's there, and he knows that 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.900 she doesn't know that we know that he's there. 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.919 So we have an opportunity right now. I'm not 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:04.599 following. We can make suggestions. Drop a few 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.520 hints of some New York activities they could 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.379 do. Oh, I think I'm picking out what you're putting 00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:13.539 down. We're about to Cyrano de Bergerac this 00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:17.339 shit. Okay, now I'm not following. How do you 00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:19.939 not know that reference? When someone feeds a 00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:22.339 friend romantic lines and suggestions from behind 00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:24.639 the scenes to help them woo a love interest. 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.740 Classic rom -com move. Oh, right. Of course. 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:30.740 How could I have forgotten? Then yes, we're about 00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:34.459 to syrup to Burger King this shit. Close enough. 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:45.199 But hell yeah. High five. Okay, that was too 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.610 much dessert. We should have split that frozen 00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:50.470 hot chocolate at Serendipity. I know, but I was 00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:52.709 caught up in the moment. I've wanted to go there 00:04:52.709 --> 00:04:54.730 ever since I saw that movie with John Cusack 00:04:54.730 --> 00:04:57.310 and Kate Beckinsale. Can't say I've heard of 00:04:57.310 --> 00:04:59.670 it. I just thought treating yourself to Serendipity's 00:04:59.670 --> 00:05:02.029 is a must -do thing in New York. But that was 00:05:02.029 --> 00:05:04.769 a shitload of ice cream. It's nice to walk through 00:05:04.769 --> 00:05:07.569 Central Park a bit. Yeah, it's lucky we were 00:05:07.569 --> 00:05:09.610 both in town at the same time. I was going to 00:05:09.610 --> 00:05:11.970 have to do all the touristy things alone. How 00:05:11.970 --> 00:05:15.240 were your meetings, by the way? Yeah, good. It's 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.800 a restaurant that I've worked with in Atlanta 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.220 already. They're opening a new location in Brooklyn, 00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:21.019 and they wanted to have that same vibe as the 00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:23.540 original, so we talked about how to adapt the 00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:26.740 same design to a new space. Cool. Nice of them 00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:29.180 to fly you out for a meeting. Whenever I've traveled 00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:31.839 here for work, I've never had time to actually 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.980 enjoy the city. Gosh, Central Park looks just 00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:38.399 like it does in the movies. Like, I feel like 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.319 I've seen these exact benches before. You probably 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.019 have. You've got mail? When Harry met Sally? 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.939 Uh, what else? Elf? Ah, right, of course. Me 00:05:48.939 --> 00:05:51.100 and Dom's favorite. She loves dessert spaghetti. 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.459 Okay, Central Park, that's good. Are they holding 00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:02.480 hands? I don't know, and I'm not going to send 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.300 them a text to ask them if they're holding hands. 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.259 Well, where else should we send them? What else 00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:10.899 did Tony say? Okay, he said, yeah, dessert sounds 00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:14.360 good. We got this. Next up, they should go to 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.500 the top of the Empire State Building. Who wouldn't 00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:19.399 want a kiss at the top of the Empire State Building? 00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:22.600 And then, then they should go to the Statue of 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.939 Liberty. They could catch the 9 -11 Memorial 00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:28.319 on the way. Brian, what the hell? Indianapolis 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.339 isn't romantic, but Ground Zero is. We don't 00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:34.319 want them sad for the love of Pete. Chill out. 00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:37.699 They're doing their own thing. It's like you 00:06:37.699 --> 00:06:41.100 don't even know me. We are all hands on deck 00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:43.610 here. We're setting up a war room in the kitchen. 00:06:43.730 --> 00:06:46.069 We need a big monitor with a map of Manhattan. 00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:49.589 We need headsets and laptops so we can strategize 00:06:49.589 --> 00:06:52.230 the most romantic spots and make sure they're 00:06:52.230 --> 00:06:56.750 maximizing their whirlwind trip of romance. Oh, 00:06:56.829 --> 00:07:05.970 God. What have I done? Oh, my God! I can't believe 00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:08.509 that just happened. Right? I can't either. That 00:07:08.509 --> 00:07:10.970 girl was like, you were on my Nick Charlie poster 00:07:10.970 --> 00:07:14.069 in my bedroom. I don't usually get recognized 00:07:14.069 --> 00:07:16.050 like that, especially not in the last, like, 00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:18.550 ten years. Yeah, I almost forgot. You were low 00:07:18.550 --> 00:07:21.350 -key famous. No, no, no, no. Nick was famous. 00:07:21.410 --> 00:07:23.610 I was just some guy in the background of a poster. 00:07:23.769 --> 00:07:26.170 You were the wingman for some girl's pre -teen 00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:30.509 obsession. I guess. I don't know. Where to next? 00:07:30.829 --> 00:07:33.959 Well, should we get some dinner? Yeah, yeah. 00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:36.579 I heard about this piano bar a few blocks down 00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:39.180 from here. Should we check it out? Yeah, let's 00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:46.060 check it out. Ooh, look at that food truck. I 00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:48.579 could use a little sweet treat. You can still 00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:51.920 eat more sugar after all that? My kind of woman. 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.899 Wait, what's that? It looks like a kinky food 00:07:56.899 --> 00:08:01.759 truck. Huh. The erotic waffle. Lips or stick 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:06.649 waffle. Okay. I have never seen a wiener -shaped 00:08:06.649 --> 00:08:10.449 waffle before. This is amazing. What is happening? 00:08:10.889 --> 00:08:13.230 There's one thing I love. It's novelty snacks. 00:08:13.569 --> 00:08:16.949 We have to get one. We? Oh, come on. Are you 00:08:16.949 --> 00:08:19.189 not secure enough in your manhood to eat wiener 00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:21.730 -shaped desserts? Hang on. Listen here. As a 00:08:21.730 --> 00:08:24.149 matter of fact, I have eaten wiener -shaped pasta 00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:27.230 before. Okay, then. Or, I mean, I guess you could 00:08:27.230 --> 00:08:29.790 get the lady parts dessert if you want. Lady 00:08:29.790 --> 00:08:31.959 parts? You're over here talking about wieners, 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.539 but you can't say vagina. I was just trying not 00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:37.500 to make you uncomfortable. You're already asking 00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:40.320 me to eat a penis -shaped waffle. You make no 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.200 sense, woman. How did we stumble upon a kinky 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.700 food truck anyway? Welcome to New York. Ooh, 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.019 you can get fruity pebbles as a topping. Oh, 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.899 Christ. So which flavor of ice cream do we want 00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:57.679 on it? Uh, cookies and cream. Yeah. And the sauce? 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.240 Let's see here. Condensed milk, strawberry jam, 00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:08.200 or dulce de leche. Gross. Condensed milk? Go 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:11.620 big or go home, I guess. That'll be $13, please. 00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:19.759 Thank you. Ooh, it's still warm. This is truly... 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.700 Tony, do you want to taste my weeder waffle? 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:29.169 Oh, Jesus. Oh, it's so good. Um, sure. I'll have 00:09:29.169 --> 00:09:34.470 a bite. Here. Open wide. Oh. I didn't expect 00:09:34.470 --> 00:09:38.909 you to shove it in. That's what she said. Wow. 00:09:39.269 --> 00:09:41.870 This evening is really going off the rails. Oh, 00:09:41.889 --> 00:09:46.149 wait. Look behind you. Museum of Sex. Oh, I get 00:09:46.149 --> 00:09:48.850 it. The erotic food truck is outside the Museum 00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:54.820 of Sex. Should we go? Um... What? Do you think 00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:58.679 it will be awkward? Well, like, we haven't, uh, 00:09:58.779 --> 00:10:02.200 you know. Sorry, sorry. Am I taking this awkward 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.960 thing too far? I really am. I legitimately don't 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.059 want to, like, pressure you or make you feel 00:10:08.059 --> 00:10:12.799 uncomfortable. Um, you know what? Let's do it. 00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:23.080 Look! They have candy! It's called... Suck a 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.480 bag of dick? This place is nuts. I mean, there's 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.940 so much merch in this lobby. Wow. It is nuts. 00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:34.820 Good one, Tony. Shall we get tickets? Please, 00:10:34.899 --> 00:10:38.320 after you. Need any whips or nipple clamps on 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.700 your way in? Yeah, no thanks. Think I'm good 00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:45.879 there. All set. This is all fascinating. You 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.039 seem very comfortable. Ah, nah, I've never, like, 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.679 used any stuff like this. So you're just here 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.200 to watch me squirm, then? That, and the novelty 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.820 snacks, yes. Right. Almost forgot about your 00:10:56.820 --> 00:11:02.639 sweet tooth. Okay, here we go. Wait, look at 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:09.059 that. Wow. That looks painful. Yeah, I think 00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:12.039 that's the point. Oh, here's a piece up your 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.259 alley. You like power tools. It's attached to 00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:18.320 a Makita drill. Oh, my. Um, actually, that's 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.820 a Sawzall. I have that model, but, you know, 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.340 without the unconventional modification there. 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.419 You are really cute when you're embarrassed. 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.379 Well, I guess we're in the right place, then. 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.200 Electro -ejaculator? Oh, it was used on farm 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.399 animals back in the day. Wow, look at this one. 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.899 According to the sign, this ass lock is a toy 00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:42.870 used for pleasure today. but was commonly thought 00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:45.070 to have been a torture device during the Spanish 00:11:45.070 --> 00:11:49.429 Inquisition? Oh, man. Aslock? It looks like it 00:11:49.429 --> 00:11:53.230 has claws that expand like a speculum. Torture. 00:11:53.230 --> 00:11:56.350 Sounds right. Yikes. Isn't a speculum what they 00:11:56.350 --> 00:11:59.830 use for, um, for pap smears? I'm impressed that 00:11:59.830 --> 00:12:02.190 you know that. Well, you know, I've paid attention 00:12:02.190 --> 00:12:05.289 in health class. Oh, look! There's an Andy Warhol 00:12:05.289 --> 00:12:14.570 exhibit! Okay, now that is actually cool. That 00:12:14.570 --> 00:12:17.649 video was mesmerizing. I feel like a voyeur. 00:12:17.850 --> 00:12:23.690 I love an immersive experience. Well, yep. And 00:12:23.690 --> 00:12:27.870 here's a wall of dick pics. What? I thought women 00:12:27.870 --> 00:12:30.990 didn't like getting dick pics. You know, I read 00:12:30.990 --> 00:12:32.990 an article the other day and it was referring 00:12:32.990 --> 00:12:37.220 to it as the junk scare problem. Unsolicited 00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:40.220 penis pics are non -consensual and intrusive. 00:12:40.259 --> 00:12:43.940 But if she tells you she's into it, it's a totally 00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:47.620 different story. Okay, good to know. This painting, 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.539 I can't figure out whose legs are attached where. 00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:54.679 There's just body parts coming out everywhere. 00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:57.860 I mean, do you really even need to know whose 00:12:57.860 --> 00:13:01.100 parts you're touching at an orgy? True, but the 00:13:01.100 --> 00:13:05.269 panda's? What are they doing there? Yeah, let's 00:13:05.269 --> 00:13:09.470 not think about that one. Hey, this sculpture 00:13:09.470 --> 00:13:12.049 is cool. You know, I actually like this whole 00:13:12.049 --> 00:13:16.629 series. Oh, are you an art collector? Not really. 00:13:16.750 --> 00:13:18.889 I mean, I have a few pieces from artists that 00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:21.509 I know, but I don't have any investment pieces, 00:13:21.690 --> 00:13:23.590 if that's what you mean. Yeah, my parents tried 00:13:23.590 --> 00:13:25.370 to get into art as investments at one point. 00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:27.210 I'm not sure they really knew what they were 00:13:27.210 --> 00:13:29.549 doing, though. Well, it's also subjective. I 00:13:29.549 --> 00:13:32.809 mean, sometimes I think valuable art is BS. It's 00:13:32.809 --> 00:13:36.710 really all about what it means to you. So, are 00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:40.370 you having fun? You know, I have never had more 00:13:40.370 --> 00:13:42.370 fun while surrounded by phallic objects and medieval 00:13:42.370 --> 00:13:46.070 -looking sex toys. Seriously, though, I know 00:13:46.070 --> 00:13:48.350 I'm being flippant about all this, but I have 00:13:48.350 --> 00:13:50.990 to admit, this is a weird place to go when you 00:13:50.990 --> 00:13:53.669 first start dating someone. So, we're dating 00:13:53.669 --> 00:13:57.730 then? I thought that's what we're doing. Is that 00:13:57.730 --> 00:14:03.110 okay with you? Yes, yeah, yes. I definitely want 00:14:03.110 --> 00:14:06.970 to, um, uh, date you. Um, hey, this room says 00:14:06.970 --> 00:14:10.389 Super Funland. Now that sounds fun. Oh, it's 00:14:10.389 --> 00:14:20.730 like old carnival stuff. Come on! Whoa, this 00:14:20.730 --> 00:14:23.450 is so cool. Should we take a selfie in the mirror 00:14:23.450 --> 00:14:25.429 tunnel? Oh, yeah, yeah. Here, my arms are longer. 00:14:25.649 --> 00:14:32.009 Um, say, ass lock! Ass lock! Ooh, a game room. 00:14:32.350 --> 00:14:35.990 Now this is super fun land. Ooh, skee -ball. 00:14:36.370 --> 00:14:41.549 Shall we? Okay, so you make this sexy ancient 00:14:41.549 --> 00:14:43.529 gods race by throwing the balls and getting points. 00:14:44.110 --> 00:14:48.090 Step right up, step right up. Only 75 cents right 00:14:48.090 --> 00:14:51.590 now. Pick your sex god and give it a whirl. I'll 00:14:51.590 --> 00:14:55.149 be Xochipilli, Aztec god of ecstasy and psychoactive 00:14:55.149 --> 00:14:59.070 substances. I'll be Eros. The player with the 00:14:59.070 --> 00:15:01.570 most points moves their god across the board. 00:15:01.909 --> 00:15:07.990 Ready? And go! And they're off. Oh, gosh, almost. 00:15:08.090 --> 00:15:11.480 Get in there. 50 points. Look at that. Come on. 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.539 I can't believe you got that one in. Here we 00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:16.120 go. Almost done. You can do this, Claire. You 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.899 can do this, Claire. Tony, how are you so far 00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:23.799 ahead of me? I guess skee -ball is my superpower. 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.100 And the winner is Eros, god of love, desire, 00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:34.519 and sex. Yes. Here's your prize. Oh, um, great. 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.019 It's a penis -stuffed animal. Yeah, just what 00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:42.039 I always wanted. Aw, it's cute. Not exactly what 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.240 a guy wants to hear about his penis, but... I 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.139 know what you need. A booby bounce house. Right 00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:57.220 this way. Whoa, you weren't kidding. It's a bouncy 00:15:57.220 --> 00:16:08.169 room with boobs. Shall we? You know, I always 00:16:08.169 --> 00:16:10.269 have an unexpected adventure when I'm with you. 00:16:10.710 --> 00:16:15.529 Okay, here we go. I'm so glad you're up for my 00:16:15.529 --> 00:16:19.129 shenanigans. Oh, I definitely am. This is the 00:16:19.129 --> 00:16:21.149 weirdest bounce house I've ever been in. There 00:16:21.149 --> 00:16:25.090 are giant inflatable boobs everywhere. Whoa! 00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:34.379 Lost my balance there. Glad I was here to catch 00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:38.220 your fall. With your entire body. On top of me. 00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:47.039 Hey, Claire. How many people do you think have 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.840 made out in here? I don't really want to think 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.179 about what substances might be on the surfaces 00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:55.240 of the booby bounce house. Okay, um, yeah, on 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.720 that note, um, shall we move along to the next 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.379 exhibit? Uh, sure, yeah. Did you see that slide 00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:03.639 over there? A slide? Wow, it just keeps getting 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:13.160 better. Let's go. Huh, okay, so we climb up there 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.099 to what is obviously a slide, but we don't know 00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:18.359 where it's going to come out. Why are you so 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.700 suspicious? This feels like a trap. If I get 00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:23.240 to the end of this slide and land in a pile of 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.900 dicks, I swear to God I've seen enough penises 00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:28.500 today. I'll tell you what, I'll go first and 00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:31.779 then holler up once the coast is clear. All right. 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:40.960 I'm trusting you. Here we go. Whee! It's so twisty! 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.579 I'm on! Okay, what do you see? Oh, cool! Tony, 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.819 it's awesome! You land in a bar! Oh, like a bar? 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.019 With drinks and a bartender? Yes! And a stripper 00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:59.400 pole! What's the wiener situation? I see no wiener. 00:17:59.470 --> 00:18:03.069 I think you're safe. Okay, I'm coming down. Hang 00:18:03.069 --> 00:18:05.849 on. Wow, this was made for a smaller person than 00:18:05.849 --> 00:18:08.829 me. I barely fit in this thing. Just make yourself 00:18:08.829 --> 00:18:14.069 bendy. I can't. I'm stuck. Oh, man. I gotta wiggle 00:18:14.069 --> 00:18:17.130 my way past this curb. Hold on. Okay. This is 00:18:17.130 --> 00:18:22.930 ridiculous. You made it. Ta -da. Oh, hey. It 00:18:22.930 --> 00:18:27.119 really is a bar. Okay, now, turn around and look 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:32.000 what you just came out of. It's a butt. I just 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.920 slid through a butthole. But it's definitely 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.920 a lady's butt, at least. It's a nice butt. I 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:43.759 guess this makes us the shit. Oh, a dad joke. 00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:49.039 Weirdly attractive. High five. Good one. I can 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.559 safely say I've never had a night like this. 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.930 Not even on a tour bus? This has been so much 00:18:55.930 --> 00:19:00.849 better than any day on tour. Wow, I'm glad. So 00:19:00.849 --> 00:19:06.289 what now? Well, it's getting kind of late. Hmm. 00:19:06.809 --> 00:19:13.049 Should we go back to my hotel? I thought you'd 00:19:13.049 --> 00:19:18.569 never ask. I'll order an Uber. Leave it to my 00:19:18.569 --> 00:19:21.789 sister. I was in full mad scientist mode making 00:19:21.789 --> 00:19:24.670 a map of all the most romantic spots to visit 00:19:24.670 --> 00:19:27.210 in New York, and Claire and Tony were visiting 00:19:27.210 --> 00:19:30.390 a freaking sex museum. Who knew there was an 00:19:30.390 --> 00:19:34.049 actual sex museum anyway? And why haven't I been? 00:19:34.289 --> 00:19:38.670 I just, well, I was flabbergasted, frankly. And 00:19:38.670 --> 00:19:42.569 proud. She's all grown up. I thought maybe, just 00:19:42.569 --> 00:19:45.740 maybe, I'd done all I could do. Maybe Brian was 00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:48.380 right that if I kept sticking my nose in Claire's 00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:50.519 business, I could disrupt the delicate balance 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:53.700 of their budding romance and the whole rom -com 00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:57.299 universe. Now, I know what you must be thinking. 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.420 Let's get real. You want to know what happened 00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:03.299 after the sex museum. I guess you'll have to 00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:06.539 come back next week to find out.
