0:00 Or you do like a you add like a farmers market section. >> Oh, dude. That's I think that would bring a lot more people. >> Oh, you said boo. I think >> you're a dude. Take that back, dude. Organic. >> What am I going to do? Buy an apricot, eat it, and then need to throw it away. What the [Music] >> All right, guys. This is for real. All right. Think real hard. Malls are dying. >> Oh, yeah. They are. >> That's sad. That's my childhood. >> Could the Hills look so sad? >> It's very sad. But you know what the thing is?

What's in the food court? >> Hot dog on a stick. >> Really? >> So all the same stuff that's in mall. >> It's already there. Good start.
0:50 >> Cinnamon. Cinnabon. >> Do you see those out regularly >> if you're at the mall? Oh, if it wasn't me feeling guilty every time in my diet, I would eat it every single time. >> True. >> Hey, I'll tell you what. Every mall that has a dent in it is killing it. >> That's true. >> It's the number one restaurant in America. >> They're unstoppable, dude. The margins are too good. >> There's already a perfect food court mall, though. >> Where? Where? >> Alam Moana. Moana. >> Yeah, that's the best one, dude. That's the best one, >> dude. That ████ ki with kimchi mac and rice. They have everything there. >> They have a Charlie. >> Don't they have a champion steak in there, too? >> They used to. >> Oh, it's gone. >> Gone. >> And then they used to have a Japanese one, too, called Shirokia. They had a whole Japanese >> Crazy Kes in there, too, huh? >> Oh, hell yeah. >> They have Chick-fil-A.
1:41 >> Okay. What? Okay. What else is in your ideal food court? The Joe Food Court. >> Cinnabon. Hot dog on a stick. >> McDonald's. >> Oh, that's a Come on. You got to have that. >> Shake Shack. Oh, Shake Shack Dennis. Interesting. Denny's, >> what's wrong with you? Uh, >> Earl of Sandwich. >> Oh, you like Earl Sandwich? >> I enjoy Earl Sandwich. >> Interesting. >> That's like a mall thing, >> dude. Earl Sandwich is pretty fire >> cuz like I never I'm going to be like, "Oh, let me go to Earl of Sandwich and drive there specifically. Just eat that and then drive home type stuff." >> But if it's there >> Yeah. But as like a you know, you're already spending time in a whole spot. >> It's a nice bonus place to eat. I love eating there in Vegas when I'm on a budget cuz you just eat that and you crash in a hotel room with 20 people and then you use the rest of the money to gamble up. >> Are you laughing at is Earl of Sandwich
2:32 thing? >> Yeah, I was. >> Then I started listening to Joe Sandwich kills you, dude. >> What's gay about Earl the Sandwich? What's gay about it? >> Oh ████ I don't know. I just said that. >> Have you had it before? >> Yes, I have. >> Well, I used to think it was stupid. Like when when Downtown Disney moved Earl of Sandwich to the other what used to be the Italian spot and then they added dent. Now Downtown Disney is like >> Downtown Disney has dent. >> Dude, it's in your best interest. >> They closed down I think the movie theater and turned that ████ into Downtown Disney.

Heidi's fire. It's >> You have to wear an apron. >> Century City Mall. Oh, you >> I thought you meant like a fast cat like fast. >> Yeah. To be honest, that is Yeah. >> But in in China, they have it. All Heidiows are in malls. >> That's what I think. I think if you want to rescue the American food court, you got to get these current guys out and you got to reinvent it. >> Yeah, but it's We got to keep some of the classics though. Don't take away auntie aunt >> like A&W or don't take away Whitel's pretzels. >> Oh, no. >> Don't take away Cinnabon. >> I think I think American malls should be more like Chinese malls. And what I mean by that or a lot of malls in Asia, they don't have as much real estate in certain ways. So, they build upwards. So they do like ████ sevenfloor malls,
4:15 but then like the bottom and or the top floor is like all restaurants and then like one floor is the kids, one floor is like home decor, one floor is men's, one floor >> and the restaurants are good >> cuz I think the problem with American ones, you already know the food's going to suck. >> I think if they put supermarkets, you put supermarkets in a mall, I know that's crazy. I think you get way more like foot traffic too at the bottom floor or something. >> Yeah, cuz when you're at the mall, it's like a one like you said, seven floors, one-stop shop, and that's what keeps people going. And they already have that in Ktown. The Western Plaza, they already have. >> But at like American malls, you don't really see >> like Asians like know how to put that stuff. >> What you adding to the food court? >> Eat it on ramen, dude. >> That's a good idea. >> I'll go to Mitsu for Santoka ████ ramen. >> Santo like like you got to put legit ████ in there. >> I would love to see a thing where you have like all the Korean convenience
5:05 stores, all the Asian Korean, like all the Asian uh convenience stores, you have little pockets like that. I would love that. >> So maybe each floor is a different country. So on the America floor, >> put Italy in there. >> All like the burgers, pizzas, all that stuff. >> Arby's. >> Yeah. And then the Asia floor it'll just be like Korea section, Japanese section, Chinese section, Vietnamese section. >> Yoshinoya. >> Yeah. Or or you look at you look at like But the real one, the real Yoshino. >> Have you guys had Japan >> where you get the peppers? Oh, >> that'd be the busiest floor. ████ Prince Street Pizza. >> That'll be an American one. >> Or you just do it like the Anaheim Packing District. You have just a bunch of different like >> Don't even mention that place. >> Not obscure, but you have like a lot of different genres of food. >> I love it, dude. >> And then you have like regular department stores. Like I think that would kill, dude. >> I love like a like a section for street
5:57 food. >> My favorite right now it currently is Chongdam Food Hall. The one that where has the >> Oh, smile. Yeah, >> that's cuz they have a lot of good stuff in there. >> Where's that? It's um it's in by Spring Valley >> and they have like they have that thing that you said where it's like a little convenience store where you can actually just buy ramen and make it there. It's like two bucks or something. >> People love that ████ The grab and go stuff. >> Get all the snack stuff. And it has a rack of all the obscure Asian drinks, like canned drinks in a row. Damn. >> And Smile Shelter is bomb. >> Yeah, it is bomb. It's really good. >> It's a good deal. >> Really? How much is it? It's like 35 bucks all you can eat, but then like everything you get is hella worth it. >> Or you do like a you add like a farmers market section. >> Oh, dude. That's I think that would bring a lot more people. >> Oh, you said boo. I think >> you're a dumbass, dude. Take that back, dude. Organic food.
6:48 >> What am I going to do? Buy an apricot, eat it, and then need to throw it away with the ████ gay stuff. >> But guess what? There's a ton of trash cans in a mall, dude. >> If you showed up at at a Let's say you show you showed up at a farmers market, right? Yeah. In the farmers market, like you you get there, there's a guy with a like a freaking cold ass fridge. Opens it up and it's just full of watermelons. Would you buy one of those? >> Uh yeah, >> you would buy one. >> You know, cuz he likes watermelon. >> You ████ know it. >> How much do you pay for that? >> Dude, I sometimes I spend too much money on like cut watermelon and that bums me out. But I do it >> cuz all they do is do one cut. It's been chilling like for all day. It's cold. >> You throw some uh some leing on it and some taheen on it, man. >> Yeah, they got all the fixings for you. How much What's that worth to you? What's a reasonable price? >> I might if they dress it up. I might pay
7:38 ████ 10 bucks for that, dude. >> They dress that ████ up. >> They're going under, dog. >> That would be cool. Like a futteria.

And I'm like, "It's this 3 months out of the year, dude. Another nine months are normal." >> I know. I know. >> Yeah.
