Are we better at picking out Valentine’s Day gifts than your partner is? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and everyone knows that the best Valentine’s Day gifts come from the heart. Something picked out especially for you by the one person in the world who knows you best. Unless that is we can pick out something even better. Yeah, let’s insert ourselves into some otherwise happy relationships. It’s time for Buying Valentine’s Day Gifts For Strangers, But Not In A Creepy Stalker Way, In A Fun Way. They Agreed To This. The Game! Welcome to the Yes Stranger, No Danger Zone. Stevie, how’s this gonna work? Okay, boys, we’re about to bring in a series of couples you’ve never met before. Then you’ll both compete against one member of each couple to guess which Valentine’s Day gift their partner would want the most. At the end, the winner will get a little something. And when we did this last year, Link won two to one, so let’s see if he can pull off the win this time around. Yeah, call me Cupid. Please say hello to our first couple, Brandon and Jackson. Hello. Thanks for coming in. Thank you for having us. Okay, Stevie, what kind of Valentine’s gifts do we have here? Thank you, Cherub Chase. Oh, there you are. In the gift lineup we have: a 10 pack of hot sauces from Hot Ones, which includes a heat guide and tasting notes for the full Hot Ones experience at home. Next, a Herschel City backpack, a lightweight and streamlined model featuring padded straps, a 15 to 16 inch laptop sleeve, and expandable water bottle pocket. Cherub Chase, can you blow off the lint from the blanket? You’re so good at that. Very gentle. Then, a two and a half hour luxury whale watching cruise for two from Davy’s Locker out of Newport Beach where you can see humpback whales, dolphin pods, and more. Heh heh. And finally, a Cuisinart Double Flip Belgian Waffle Maker with a non stick coating and handy rotary feature that means perfect waffles every time. So, okay, Brandon and Jackson, you’re going to use your whiteboards around your, your necks now. Of these four, which one would you want the most, Jackson? And Brandon, which one do you think Jackson wants the most? That’s what you’re gonna write down on your boards. You’re not gonna show it to anybody, say anything out loud. Just secretly write it down now. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Brandon is the gift giver. We shouldn’t watch them write because then we’ll see how long the words are and then. Yeah. Is that what you did last time? Ha! That’s what you did last time. All I remember last time was that, um, Chase’s pregnant sister was here. Yep. And there was, and I didn’t know, did I know she, did I ask her if she was pregnant? Probably. Probably. Okay, so, Rhett and Link, before you make your guesses, let’s get to know Jackson a little bit more. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Jackson, Jackson, Jackson. What’s up, what’s up? Late at night when you’re in bed sit there thinking about what the whales might be trying to communicate to us And do you think it matters? I think it yes matters I also crazy enough used to work on a sailboat and I led humpback whale watching tours Funny enough. Okay. All right. Okay, not, not in California though. You’re tired of it. Who knows? Yeah, who knows? I assume you knew that, Brandon. I did. Okay. All right. There was a knowing look when there was the whale watching. I saw the way Brandon looked at Jackson, and I didn’t know if that was like, oh, I can’t wait to do that, or you’ve done that a lot. I think I now know the answer. Um, can you both tell me about a recent fight that you got in? It happened this morning. Hahahaha. Go on. On the way here this morning, um, I don’t even know what it was about to be honest. Oh actually, Brandon grabbed, I, he was like, Can you give me a piece of gum? And I gave it to him, and he like grabbed it out of my hand, and I thought he was being feisty, so. Oh. Oh. Jackson’s late to everything. Oh, ok. We were ten minutes late to this. So what did you say when you thought he was being feisty? I said, can you not be feisty? I think it was along those lines. And I said no. Let’s say you’re at a hotel. There’s a continental breakfast. And you are in a line. There’s two parents with children in front of you. And there’s a waffle making station. One of the do it yourself ones. And right as you get up to this point where there’s still this one mother and child in front of you, they run out. And they’re like, there’s going to be a 12 to 15 minute wait for more waffle mix. Depends what else is there, because if there’s, like, biscuit and gravy, I’m gonna go get biscuit and gravy. There’s no biscuits and gravy. There’s sausage. There’s some of those eggs that are probably not eggs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And whale bacon. And Humpback whale. Just some toast. So basically there’s only whale bacon or waffles. Yeah, pretty much. So I guess I’m waiting for waffles, yeah. Okay. And now we’re more late. Ha ha ha ha! All right, tell me the last time that you cried at a restaurant. Oh, in a restaurant, okay, good. Yeah, tell me about that. I don’t know if I’ve ever cried in a restaurant, have I? Not with you. Shed tears? But in an airplane, that’s a completely different story. Oh, okay, yeah. How is this helping you? You haven’t shed tears while eating recently? Um especially. Even if it wasn’t emotional. No, it definitely wasn’t because spice, if that’s what you’re getting at. Brandon, this guy’s hard to buy for. I know. He doesn’t seem like he likes anything. That’s why we’re on the show. Even stuff that he likes, it seems like he doesn’t like it. I know. He’ll tell you he likes something and then you buy it and he’s like, Well, I wouldn’t have bought that one. What do you guys connect over? I mean, do you feel like he likes you? I love him. He’s the best. Okay. Alright. There we go. There we go. Yeah. Okay, Rhett and Link, uh, why don’t you. This is not easy. Go ahead, write down your guesses. What do you think Jackson wants? Yeah, this is This is not easy. I’m really interested to see what Brandon put, because I have no idea. Alright. Okay. I think I, I think I got it. Alright, let’s see what you got. We going first, or are they? Yeah, yeah, you guys go first. I think Jackson would be happy with the bag, but not too happy. I agreed, and I called it a backpack. Okay, Brandon, what did you say Jackson would want? I said whale cruise. What?! You think he wants to go back to his job? I think he wants to bring me on a whale cruise. Because we’ve never gone together and I think he probably wants to talk about it and be like, you know, when they do this, it means this and look at him jump. You know, that’s a great idea. I didn’t think about it like that. So you’re basically buying a gift for yourself. I think he would buy, he would think that I would think that he would buy a gift for me. Okay. It all comes down to this. Jackson, what do you, what do you write down? I love Hot Ones so much, and I’ve always wanted to try all the spices, but I chose Whalewatch. I did choose Whalewatch! For the exact reason Brandon said. Wow! I knew it. I am so happy for you both! Very sad for both of us. Cherub Chase, uh, let’s bring that cruise on over to Brandon and Jackson, and they can actually go on it! Do you get to come? Sure! I get tickets for free, right? Please say hello to couple number two, Alan and Nicole. Hello, love birds. Welcome to the show. Hi. Look at you two. You guys ever tried swinging? What? Swing, like swing dancing? Yeah. Or swinging? Tell me about every form of swinging you’ve tried. Oh, boy. Swinging a baseball bat? Mm hmm. We’ve done. Swinging on a swing. Swinging on a swing. I’m asking questions too early. Yeah, you are. And I don’t know how they’re gonna be helpful. How about we find out what gifts we’re choosing from. First up, we have a 100 percent cotton velour bathrobe from Maeve by Anthropologie. How soft is it? It’s so soft. Almost as soft as these angelic wings that I have. Nice, thank you. Next, we have a De’Longhi Dedica espresso machine, complete with a built in milk frother for cafe quality drinks at home. Then, oh sorry, how soft is it, Chase? Not. Great. Pretty hard. Then, a pair of stylish retro inspired sunglasses from Ray Ban. Ooh!

He’s also a mime. Okay, so Alan and Nicole, you’re going to use your whiteboards that are around your neck. Of these four, which one would you want the most, Nicole? And Alan, which one do you think Nicole wants the most? Don’t say anything out loud. Don’t even look at each other. Don’t show anyone your whiteboards. Write it down now. What do you think they’re choosing? I’m not gonna tell you. You think you know already? No. What would you want? I think I would want the robe. I don’t know how to use that espresso machine. But you already have like a pretty nice espresso machine and I already have a really nice. And we don’t know that about them. Okay, they’re ready. Nicole, I have a question for you. Yes. Are you a day at the beach or sit by the pool type person? I am a big pool girl. Okay, now. A big pool girl. Let me add a little complexity to this scenario. At this pool next to y’all, there are two middle aged couples. And they have a little stereo. And, not that this happened to me or anything. And they start playing Train. And the two husbands are like, Train is good. Train is so good. They listen to an entire Train album. Do you go to the beach or do you stay at the pool? Um, is Train the one who does, um, Drops of Jupiter? I would stay at the pool. Oh. Okay, alright, okay. Alright. Let’s say this pool also has a hot tub. What’s the longest you’ve ever sat in a hot tub? It depends on the temperature. But probably like 20 minutes. 20 minutes? At like 101? 101? An hour. You can be in there an hour. 103 plus, 20 minutes. Oh, wow. You know your, your hot temps. Okay. Alan, what’s the weirdest thing about Nicole? The weirdest thing about Nicole? I think that Nicole has, uh, feels more comfortable in a thrift store than anywhere else on the planet. Okay. She’s a thrifter. A thrifter. Nicole, how caffeinated are you right now? Um, pretty good. One, one cup in. One cup in? Mm hmm. How many you gonna get to? Probably two. Okay. You gonna listen to Train today? I kind of want to, because I can’t remember any other Train songs. Okay. Unfortunately, I can. Can you quote, but not sing, any line from Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso? Think about me every night. Oh, that’s that me, espresso. And now Train. Drops of Jupiter in her hair. Hair, hair, hair, hair. Hahahaha. Alright. She’s good. I, I see why you’re with her, Alan. Right. See? Yeah. Right. She’s good at quoting. Mm hmm. Okay Rhett and Link, uh, it’s time to write down what you think Nicole wants from this lineup. I got a robe. I got a few. I’m trying to use robes more. When you say use. Well I have the robe but I keep forgetting to use it. Okay, show me what you got. I think she went with a robe. Almost said the espresso, but I didn’t. I did say the espresso. She’s a pool girl! And she, she likes hot tub. Well, they got coffee next to the pool. Okay, Alan, what, what did you choose for Nicole? I also said, It’s that me espresso. Oh yeah. Okay Nicole, all it comes down to this. What did you write on your whiteboard? Well this morning I was telling Alan that I really wanted to get an espresso machine. Yeah! That’s right! You were telling him this morning? This morning, yes. Well that kind of made it easy. Wish I was there for that. Yeah, I was. It’s good news, now you get the espresso machine. Oh my gosh, I’m so excited. Yeah, you’ll never use it, but enjoy it if you have another coffee maker. There you go! I don’t know how that works. Thank you so much! I love it! You’re welcome. I love you too. Thank you Cupid. We’re making people’s dreams come true! This is her dream. Her dream from this morning. Yeah. Her morning wish. Hey, you manifested that. I really did.

I’m not gonna ask you a question cause it’s not time to do that yet. I was waiting for Link to ask you if you’re into swinging. So I guess I’ll ask it. Yeah, ask it. You into swinging? Uh, you mean like on the playground? That’s what I’m talking about. Yeah. We love to swing. Yeah, we do love to swing. Okay, alright, clip that, clip that, clip that! We got him! Hahahaha!

Next, a 60 minute signature Swedish massage from Milk and Honey, tailored to your needs and focused on relaxation and stress relief. I don’t know how to charade massage? Yeah, yeah, a little self massage. Then we have a three piece tea kettle and mug set from Le Crusé. And finally, a puffy picnic blanket from Baggu with a carrying strap so you can roll it up and bring it anywhere, perfect for your next picnic, beach day or romantic night of stargazing. Uh huh. Okay. It’s got stars on the blanket, I see that. So, Stanley and Megan, you’re going to use the whiteboards around your neck now. Of these four, which one would you want the most, Megan? And Stanley, which one do you think Megan wants the most? Don’t, don’t look at each other, don’t talk to each other, don’t look at each other’s whiteboards. Just write it down. Do you like how I got it? See, I feel like you might be looking at them out of the corner of your eye. You think I can tell, like, what she’s writing with my peripheral vision? Can you see her? Is she writing? I know she’s there, which is a weird thing to be looking at here. Don’t turn your head. But have your brain focused on your periphery. It’s a weird psychological phenomenon. Are they done? They’re done. Oh. We’ve been done. Oh, sorry. We’ve been done for quite some time. So how long you two been together? Eight years? Yeah, like eight years. Yeah, 2017. Eight years. Okay. Yeah. You made it through the pandemic. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. Okay, that tells us a few things. Can you tell me about, um, the worst date that you guys ever went on? And also the best date. But don’t spend nearly as much time on the best date. Right. Um, maybe when your parents watched our kid for the, one of the first times we went to see a movie, and it was like a terrible movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was a bummer. I’m glad you finished that sentence, because I thought it was gonna be when your parents watched. I was a little nervous, too. Yeah. I was like, that would be a bad date. And what was your worst date? Our best date? Yeah, yeah. Sure. Okay. Um, best memory? I think when we were in Iceland. Iceland, yeah. Yeah. Definitely Iceland. Y’all went to Iceland? We did go to Iceland, yeah. Heard good things. Yeah. That’s great. It was great. Yeah. Hmm. Did you, um, did you stargaze? See the auroras? We tried. We did try. Borealis? But it rained. It rained the entire time. Okay. Yeah, we did like a, we had like a star, um, a chasing the aurora borealis. Like tour, but then they were like, ah, it’s not it didn’t show up. Sorry You get a discount? No, it’s just at the very end of a long day, and they’re like, ah, I guess we’re not gonna see it. They showed us a waterfall instead. Yeah, they showed us a waterfall instead. We’ll show you a waterfall. Do all of your dates fizzle out? Yeah. Um, I don’t know. Nowadays it’s hit or miss. We have a 1-year-old, so. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes things happen. It gets better. Okay. If it’s, yeah. What’s a date? I don’t know. Yeah. What about an inside joke? Oh, yeah. Like between the two of you? Little fun nickname for each other, maybe. Yeah, I call him Stably. Yeah, I call, I call her Majin. What is, what’s the story of Stably? My phone just auto cracked her, his name to Stably, so that’s his name now. Yeah. I like that. I don’t know why. Stanley’s a pretty standard name, but. Stably. Sounds like a friendly killer. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, uh, Megan, how do you feel about microwaving water for tea? Yeah, no. I don’t really use the microwave. Do you think that it just makes the water poison? I think everything’s poison, but it’s probably just like extra poison. Because I saw this, I saw this TikTok that was like, you microwave it and then they put it on a plant and the plant died, but I think that’s BS. Oh, I don’t. I believe everything on TikTok. Okay. Okay, Rhett and Link, it’s time to write down what you think Megan wants the most from this lineup. Okay, okay. I think I know what you’re gonna write down. And what do you think that is? I’m done. I think you’re gonna say the massage. No, I didn’t. I said the tea kettle. Oh, crap. I said the tea kettle, but I’m just gonna lose if I have the same answer as you, so I’m saying massage, and that’s, that’s kinda what I wrote here. Okay, Stanley, what did you go with? I went with, I just wrote milk and honey. Yeah. Cause the massage. Okay, we agree. Okay, Megan, all comes down to this. What did you pick? The camera! I’m a photographer. Oh, yeah. Stably, did you know that? I think you have one of those. Not that one. You don’t have that one. Oh. She wants to complete the set. Yeah. Okay, well the bad news is that all of you are wrong, but the good news is that Megan gets a camera. Ha ha ha, there you go. I love this game. Thank you so much. Stanley, you cannot have any pictures taken of you after that performance. No, I don’t think so. Yeah, sorry. Okay. And Rhett and Link, you guys didn’t fare very well in this game, but I will say that Rhett did pull off the win, so you are now officially Cupid Brian II. Oh, wow. Wow. I got the title. You’re welcome. That’s nice. I don’t know what it is. I can’t see myself. It’s.. Now everything’s red. It’s very fitting. Ow. You guys got the rest of the day without the little one?
