Young Hollywood

Oh, hey. I'm Nikki. Yeah, I'm just waiting here for my date. He's kind of late. It's been like 30 minutes. I I I'm getting the feeling I'm getting stood up. I mean, tell me the truth. Am I undatable?

Guest

Oh. That's a that's a choice. That's the way to knock.

Young Hollywood

Oh, hey. Holy shit, you're pretty. Here with Bianca, Kaylin and Crystal Leah. Great to see you guys.

Guest

Good to be seen.

Young Hollywood

So, how are you guys? Newbie on the show.

Guest

Well, follow me on. Let the questions begin.

Young Hollywood

The Guys. Hi. Hi. Great to see you.

Guest

It's good to be here.

Young Hollywood

Are you Brent?

Brent

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Young Hollywood

So interesting. Come on in, Nikki.

Brent

I'm interesting?

Young Hollywood

Yeah. This is our first date. What could a woman wear on a date that would make her undatable?

Guest

You know what, Uggs. Second guest: Uggs.

Guest

Male Uggs. Second guest: Are there male Uggs?

Guest

Guys wear Uggs? Second guest: That's what I'm saying. I'm just trying to think of something.

Guest

Yeah. I think it's not what she wears as much as the the amount she doesn't wear. I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who shows it to everyone. Second guest: What could a female wear to make her undatable?

Guest

Clothes. Second guest: Uggs.

Guest

Uggs is where she draws a line. So, you got that world. If you like Bridget, the only thing you can't wear is Uggs.

Young Hollywood

I wouldn't think I'd be your type though because isn't Bradley Cooper more your type?

Guest

Okay. You know what? I know you don't. She's not door. If he was into me, I'd be in the ham.

Young Hollywood

Who should pay on the first date?

Guest

Well, the guy. Second guest: The guy.

Guest

Yeah. Second guest: Second date.

Guest

Guy. The guy should always pay. Second guest: The guy should always pay unless it's like like a like a few weeks or a month in and like it's like you're grabbing coffee and a muffin and the girl's like, let me do it. And you're like, no. And then she's like, come on, I never do it. And you're like, okay, but this is the last time, you know.

Guest

I will always pay on the first date. But I will make sure that I'm not sitting with presence. So, second date, it's I don't pay second. But after the first date she's like, no, let me pay or let's split. No, no, please. She'll say, let me get the next one. I'll say, okay, whatever. Second comes around. Uh, you got the last one. It doesn't matter. Maybe it does. I don't know. We'll play it by ear. Chances are paying. The third one, please, you got the last two. You know what? I'll take you up on that.

Young Hollywood

I actually don't know what a key drop is. I don't know why we would have a key drop. Why we would be blocked? And also, apparently, I'm a janitor on the show. Because I have way too many keys.

Guest

He is not a bar owner. I'd like to think that Chris's character is a janitor because he's a little dumb.

Young Hollywood

What'd he do? This is our book collection and also one of us may or may not be a serial killer. That could be season four. If you walked into a guy's apartment and he had one of these, and he wasn't an archeologist or a doctor, what would you think? Second guest: I would think he shops at Pier 1.

Young Hollywood

Really? That's where your mind goes when it's a skull in the house? Second guest: Maybe.

Young Hollywood

Can you guys tell by female body language if they're into you or not?

Guest

No. I can't. Into me is like, fix the hair a little bit, laugh a little bit, lean in with interest. Not into me is looking around, what else is out there? Oh, that's a nice little sculpture. You know. Boom, right? My, how about right? Like, what would be the female I'm into you body language? Second guest: You guys are both doing it. I'd say that I'm very bad at reading people. Um, but also, I think basically similar to what you're saying, if somebody looks like they're engaged in what you're talking about, if they're paying attention, if they're responding to what you're talking about.

Young Hollywood

You know what I'm starting to process? This is like the home of a serial killer. It really is. There's a skull for no reason. Many keys, which you got from the victims, right? Then you come over here, floss because you got to get rid of the teeth somehow, right? The dental work. An undated like flashlight to hide, you know, in the middle of the night when you got to bury somebody. And you could hide a skull in there. This, when you're trying to, you know, saw the bones and shit. And then a printer. So, then you could print a ransom note or whatever you do. I don't know what serial killers do. If I know more than what I just said, then I might be one. And I'm not because I'm wearing blue. Anybody who wears this kind of blue can't murder. Worst first date ever?

Guest

Oh, I have mine. I have mine. Second guest: That was quick. That was quick.

Guest

Okay. Good morning, everyone. That's how I always enter. Second guest: Are you just showing off now?

Guest

No, this is how I talk in my bar. I was at dinner with a girl and she told me, this is like crazy. She was like, she told me she had a kid and then which is fine. And then she said, uh, but when I when I first had the kid, like the first six months, like it was like real depression and I I wanted to kill it. What? On the first date. Second date was much better though.

Young Hollywood

You know what's fun about what's happening right now? Everybody's watching me do this.

Guest

I know, they are. They are.

Young Hollywood

Can you turn the camera? No question whatsoever. Everybody is. Because we're interrupting work. We literally invaded the set.

Guest

Yeah, and I'm not somebody who likes to ham it up. Listen, I'm kidding. If you could see him. Oh my God. Oh get this off me. Get this off me. Second guest: Uh, I got set up on a blind date. The guy showed up. Um, he hand-fed me strawberries immediately upon meeting each other. That was really nice. And then we got into his car. He proceeded to drive by store windows to look at his rims on his car for about an hour and then we got in a car accident.

Guest

What? Second guest: And I went out with him again.

Guest

You want to arm wrestle her? Second guest: No, I don't want to arm wrestle her.

Brent

This is prom all over again for me. We're just arm wrestling.

Young Hollywood

Can we help you? Does he always jump in on your interviews and try to steal the thunder? Is that is that

Guest

He's already the lead in the show. Just let's have a moment, Brent.

Brent

Yeah, I don't mind.

Guest

I love him so much. I love you so much, dude. I love the energy you bring. I love what you add. And I don't mind that the camera turned to you. Psyche. Let him finish his joke. Okay. You get a reaction shot of Brent getting a compliment? Yeah, the audience needs to see that.

Young Hollywood

This is my office. That's a snake for some reason. That is a snake. Once again, I don't know why I have half the things in here. This is a phone from 2003. It is. This is a computer that doesn't work. New paraphernalia would be welcome. Brent is still

Guest

can you turn the camera? He's still hovering. Like he just can't leave us. You're the worst. You can't shake him, can you?

Brent

Well, you know,

Guest

This is Brent's first job, so he's more insecure than the rest of us. He he got cut an hour ago. He's just hanging out. I think that's it. Is that your ending move? That's your move. Second guest: That's it.

Guest

That's your signature. Second guest: That's my signature move.

Guest

Nice. Let's work on that. Second guest: No, no, no, no, no. That that you just dropped the point.

Guest

No, this this is this should be your move. Okay, actually, wow. That's it. That's the exit right there. What were you going to do? Second guest: I just felt ugly. I've never felt more ugly than when she did that.

Guest

And when you met Bradley Cooper? Why you calling me up? What was your move? Second guest: See you next time, America.

Guest

No, you didn't let me finish. I go. Till next time, America. And then a wink to end it. Second guest: Oh, a wink. Try it.

Guest

Till next time, America. Come on, you don't have to click.
