0:00 [Music] anybody here an uh ikea fan i like ikea yeah i like ikea i like their meatballs when you go to the showrooms they're ████ insane like you go like you you measure it because they tell you oh this room's only like 95 square feet or some ████ and you're like damn you guys packed it good in here i like the prices man but i hate how everyone got it yeah yeah that's true because it's affordable right so then when you go and you're like i would ████ hook up my room like this and then you're like but everyone's gonna have the same thing but are you a guy that has like a lot of people over all the time no it's just for my knowledge when i go to other people's place i go that table's from ikea that light from my oh i know that's from that those shells are like those ████ big square cubby s████ that's ikea dude

0:50 as the 90s would say it's played out the good thing about everyone oh there are some over here but the good thing is you don't put these on camera okay the good thing about everyone having it though is that it makes it really easy to sell because it's like you know you write down like the item number or like the mom bed exactly and then it like you know you get all sorts of people hitting you up saying like i know what that is i want that i'll give you a really good price i didn't even think about the resale value because i never resell ████ but the minute they come over your house and they pick it up everything falls apart because the plywood's true it all breaks down ikea stuff you could only really move like once the second time you moved that s███'s ████ moving around that's actually very true the beds are pretty good though and affordable i bought a whole set for like 300 bucks i was using a ikea bed from like college all the way to like probably like seven years

1:42 a lot of totally last year right yeah until like yesterday a lot of sex on that back speaking on those because it didn't break down speaking of those showrooms though they are nice showrooms i always uh i always try to take a nap in at least because no one hooks it up to that level you know it's very thorough people buy a kid they buy one or two pieces so it doesn't live up to what it really could be that's true so another storm uh snowed in and stormed in some people in northern denmark and those that were stormed into an ikea they just stayed in there got a chance to lift some of our random little fantasies of what it would be like to actually live at ikea yeah they just got snowed in uh up to 30 centimeters of snow fell in the city of auburn leaving at least 25 staff and customers unable to go home so the group bedded down in the showroom dined on the store's food and watched television that's pretty good 25 people that means

2:33 that wasn't that many people there 25 staff and customers but yeah i think they weren't that many everyone was like why the ████ would you go shopping during a storm just like normal for them maybe that's denmark i don't know because ikea is huge man ikea is big but at the same time like imagine like you're just randomly stuck in a giant like warehouse type of spot and there's no actual walls that sounds kind of fun actually people probably like tap tap that showroom like racing the beds and ████ like that and then like an old person comes up next year like you gotta like ████ get out you know do you think it becomes squid games maybe it's kind of decorated by square games like would you like troll people like people are trying to go to sleep like good night everybody like mom if i could go to sleep and throw ████ around you go to the back ████ fuse box and you shut the lights off for the whole place start throwing ████ like little kids

3:24 toys start rolling by people's beds that's how people get killed you know [Laughter] crazy you guys are agitators do you think anyone tried to ████ in there mike you sick ████ mike because i mean he definitely gotta yeah yeah right there's no way that that's not like something you're if you're there with your your significant other you gotta try you gotta entertain or some at least the husband's gonna be like or even if you're up for strangers because it's almost like a uh cancun like spring break like yolo yeah i mean it's like what how often are we gonna be locked up in here yeah might as well which room would you try to make love in the college ones like the ████ in the kitchen [Laughter] would you go to kitchen appliances would you go in there like where would you go

4:15 probably do a showroom for sure though i don't know i don't think i'll be just pretty sick you could just arm swipe whatever ████ ████ decorations they got there just throw her on the ground just the real kitchen the one where they serve the meatballs and stuff oh yeah the dining hall so you can use the meatballs that is one of the things i would do jesus mike i would just go to ikea just to get a cheap ass lunch i love ████ lunch like 5.99 meatballs i don't know if it's the same price i wonder if they did like like meatball eating contests while they were like trapped in you know what i mean or they had to make rations dude rations they're already there they're like snowed in for one night there's some over military person is coming in they're ████ counting meatballs like that doing the math on each person we only have enough for one night of food there's 25 people i remember when i was a kid i'd always want to be

5:05 uh locked into a mall at night when it closes like staying there like a department store like macy's but that would probably be way better to do in ikea because there's way more space yeah or like a target or like a home depot so you could at least like be crafty and build some ████ yeah you know spend your time like if you had to get locked into some place for like i don't know a year a year yeah a year costco costco we have everything there plus a lot of food they do have everything there yeah amazon packing center amazon packing oh yeah it's like you don't have to open the box to see what it is [Laughter]

5:57 you're not way off you're having electronics yeah but maybe maybe something more like a showroom versus a fulfillment center because they might not have like electrical outlets ready for like everything to be plugged in and usable oh yeah right costco costco does like samples already so you got like at least a microwave chilling on the side for no reason yeah and you got mountain bikes too yeah they got tvs everywhere you can exercise but do they got beds that's the most important they got mattresses yeah they don't have like huge bed frames they got they got tents in costco you got to open it and then let the mattress breathe and come back to life oh yeah i'm down with a hawaii costco because they got pokey oh but i don't know about other pop costco no way they don't have poker because you know it's all regional and ████ yeah or what about like your whole crew like all of us together yo what's that one show or movie where

6:47 the kid ████ stays over at the mall like he hides at the um like the showroom like at a ████ sporting goods store in the tent and then and when he ████ you know in the middle of the night he gets the whole mall to himself mr mrs smith no i forgot what show or movie i remember watching this ████ as a kid jolie alone in the mall what are we going to do by hiding in a tent and not ████ yeah no way they would kids movie obviously it was like a tv show or a ████ guy no i know what you're talking about because that inspired me to want to do that yeah but it would be he stayed in a tent at a sporting goods store it was at the mall overnight he got out and he just got to ████ go ham sounds like some jonathan taylor thomas ████ or something

7:37 or like richie rich or somebody branch yeah because i would say like if we could choose then i'd be like the mall damn it sounds familiar but then the mall is like every ████ gate has to also be up in my imagination it's all up yeah everything's the whole mall fair enough you don't have to break into nothing then then the food's gotta also be hot and just ready to go there's employees there employees so it's us and then the employees too just like this ikea system everyone's stuck in there it's just every just we got snowed in and then the mall is the place because then we got ████ dave and busters we got the khan mongolian barbecue yeah orange

8:28 julius cibarro saboro you can watch a movie in the movie theater auntie anne's auntie anne's dude oh what happened oh i i came here in flip-flops i need shoes you just go to ████ foot locker and they'll be like there you go sir you go to claire's pierce your ears for once you get a henna tattoo tattoo balance bracelet a balance race move my arm down yo imagine how dope it would be if a mall was like a cruise ship or like a resort where you do an all-inclusive thing and you get the ████ wristband and everything in there is free how much would that have to cost ████ 10 grand a day 10 grand a day you can't really get your money's worth somebody's shopping too much it's like being too drunk they get kicked out see but you know that apple wouldn't apply because every time they have deals like that apple is the one store that it's like oh we actually don't have

9:18 discounts i know man ████ apple i think they're so much better than us huh and i still buy this ████ too it's too good your stuff's again those bougie ████ they have the worst black friday deals it's like 10 off buy 4 000 laptop get a 20 gift card to spend back at our store and the lightning cable and that's it no plug though the lightning cable is like 40 bucks dude these motors have you ever done apple business yeah but like i i usually just do uh i just pretend i'm a student buy it through a web portal we we used to when we first set up the jk office we're like okay cool apple business we're buying bulk they gave us five percent on awesome thank you [Music]
