Mount Rushmore: Stores You Could Live In Forever

Mt. Rushmore of Stores/Restaurants

At 1:07:54 · chapter starts 1:07:51

The Mount Rushmore of stores and restaurants where you could spend the rest of your life produces an entertaining pick-by-pick debate. Hank and Zach open with Costco — the unanimous no-brainer, featuring food, alcohol, trampolines, exercise equipment, and bikes — before PFT stakes out Magic City (Miami strip club with a full menu) and Sam's Club. Big Cat, Max, and Memes go with Walmart (everything imaginable), Dave and Buster's (arcade, food, booze), Bass Pro Shop (fishing, swimming, the naked guy legend), and PJ Superstore (golf simulator, video games, groceries). AMC Theaters is a late clutch pick from Zach. The most contentious moment is producer Shane suggesting Blockbuster as an honorable mention, which is immediately demolished on the grounds that Blockbuster had no furniture, no real TVs, and basically nothing you'd want for long-term habitation. Honorable mentions include Target, Cheesecake Factory, Chili's, Cabela's, and Mattress Firm. The poll technically comes down to 0.2% — a win for Big Cat's team.
