01:46gonna give sears a seven i'm gonna give sears although i was very young during its peak or
01:54around the time when i was born obviously my parents probably loved it more than i did so i'll put

01:59nine same with him i was young i do remember going to sear sears when i was younger so i'm
02:06gonna put
02:06that just probably in the middle at six there was a sears at 12 oaks mall i do know that

02:51dear to this city farmer jack it's a grocery store it's a grocery store big deal they're all the same
03:00i'm gonna give i'm gonna give farmer jack a nine i'm putting farmer i had one literally about five
03:06minutes away from my house my family and i we were heartbroken when they all went under i'm gonna put

03:17it at seven how about
03:23kmart
03:26now do i miss kmart walmart is really taking over from kmart and that's probably why kmart
03:34disintegrated they combined with sears and they still didn't work i had kmart in philly too is a
03:40little bit um i'll give kmart a six so kmart once again there was one around the corner from my
03:49house
03:49and as much as i i never liked kmart when i heard we're going there but when i was inside
03:54i loved it
03:54a lot because they just had a lot good toy selection i'll put it at two i grew up with
03:59kmart
03:59clothes shoes school supplies and they had the little pizza you know like cafe deli that well mine had
04:07pizza okay the kmart deli very underrated very underrated loved i like i said grew up with kmart
04:14that's two that's very sentimental to me okay the blue light special uh let's go with next
04:21chi chi's the restaurant yeah corbin are you looking up chi chi's no because no it sounds
04:29no no hear me out it sounds familiar so i'm just trying to refresh like when i see a Mexican
04:34restaurant
04:34yes i knew it was mexican but i just need to see the logo it's i'll get to mine in
04:38a second
04:38chi chi's 10 i'm not a big fan yep now seeing it i do remember it we never really went
04:47a whole lot
04:47because we had a couple other Mexican spots that we would uh frequent so for that reason i'll go
04:53number six chi chi's yeah chi chi's wasn't my favorite put it at eight i'm saving something
04:58for one or two i think okay we'll see uh this next thing
05:05it was before netflix you couldn't netflix and chill unless you had a blockbuster night
05:13blockbuster video three love blockbuster blockbuster gets number one for me every friday my family and
05:21i we would go there i'd get a movie a video game to play throughout the weekend during the rental
05:25period
05:25i still think about it every now and then when they used to send you the discs in the mail
05:30and
05:30you had to send it back yeah i love that but i'm saving out maybe there's something better i've got
05:34it at three okay let's go with
05:41our van oh art fan a place that saves a lot of lions fans because they would buy up tickets
05:50when the silver dome did not sell out i'm thank you our van sentimental for me because when i moved
05:57here i went and got a lot of my you know sofa and chairs my furniture uh at art van
06:05give me uh
06:07give me eight for art van i'm putting art van at 10 just because during its prime i was too
06:13young i was
06:14i wasn't buying furniture unfortunately yeah same i wasn't shopping for furniture when this was around
06:19it's 10 for me let's go next with radio shack here we go radio shack two i like the go
06:31love the radio
06:32go radio shack you try everything i will put radio shack at five because i do have fond memories of
06:40going with my dad so it always came in clutch for him my dad and i always went to radio
06:45shack for
06:45multiple different projects that's one for me okay next up we have
06:52i have one five we got three left we got three left one five and eleven left next we have
07:01similar
07:01to radio shack circuit city
07:0711 and i now i'm getting scared 11 i should have put that so i only have four seven and
07:14eight left i'm
07:15going to slot at my eighth slot because i i hardly ever went there it was mainly radio shack we
07:19would
07:19go to yeah for similar reasons of radio shack circuit city was also a good one to go to that's
07:24four on my
07:25list i know what i'm hoping for number one okay
07:29next we have toys r us oh wow i can't really lose i don't think if i i'm gonna put
07:42toys r us at one
07:43love toys r us love the jeffrey the giraffe so this is the jeffrey with a g yes this is
07:53the opposite of
07:54when i did the blind rank with sony and he gave me zach mckintree as my final one he was
07:57like number
07:58three or whatever i have to put toys r us four but it would definitely go over farmer jacks or
08:03kmart
08:03maybe not blockbuster because i have so many fond memories there you sure because there's still one
08:07left i know there's one left in this i never went to a toys r us i only saw the
08:11commercials
08:12you never went to a toys r us sad story yes my parents were poor we didn't go to stores
08:19like that
08:19what's not even a shop and wish and hope i got to wish through the commercials that played on my
08:26tv
08:26you know it was free to walk in there right it's free to watch the commercials okay i don't think
08:31i
08:31ever met a kid who never went to toys r us so i have number five left so if it's
08:36something that i'm
08:37ashamed of it's not that horrible i'm i'm feeling pretty good donnie i think this is something that
08:43you may have gone to i doubt if these two have ever gone there let's just put it like that
08:48tower
08:49records i see i was hoping see tower records was there were there ones around here because there
08:56was more i went to the i used to go to the one i remember in la when i went
09:01to ucla summer school
09:02we just get stoned and walk through tower records um so i'll give it a five i was i the
09:09one i was hoping
09:09for was more local i was holding out for harmony house okay yeah so i mean tower records harmony
09:17house we can combine that okay sam goodie if you remember that i'm looking at pictures right now
09:23because of course i've never been i probably would have had some field days if uh oh yeah still around
09:28at my ripe age of 25 so yeah so to end my list it'll go to number seven yeah i
09:33would have loved to go
09:34here i never went but i i've definitely been in record shop poor poor parents i got it okay okay
09:39it's five on my list thanks rico how have you never gone that's amazing to me so you should
09:49have you should have already known because i said i grew up on kmart and that was my number two
09:53bro i don't buy expensive you don't buy expensive stuff at kmart no but toys r us wasn't necessarily
09:58expensive on your birthday i grew up at kmart too and on your birthday it's like okay you can go
10:04and pick
10:04out one thing that's it i got to pick from kmart they sold okay you know what you're not gonna
10:12win
10:12this argument rico i'm with you i'm totally with you that that is your list so uh you do you
10:20normally
