I Engineered The Perfect First Date
Mark Rober
0:00 These 500 drones are programmed with one mission
0:02 in mind to get my nephew Beckham his first date.
0:06 But I'm not stopping there because I've
0:08 also secretly engineered a bunch of other
0:11 contraptions to ensure my nephew comes off
0:12 as an absolute hero to his date,- What?!
0:15 who genuinely has no idea any of this is about to happen.
0:22 Now at first glance, it might seem odd that Beckham would
0:25 come to his middle-aged uncle for dating help.
0:27 This is gonna be the world's most epic first date.
0:29 But compared to some of the other
0:31 feats of engineering I've designed over the years,
0:33 getting two people to fall in love wouldn't exactly be rocket science.
0:36 So to kick things off,
0:38 I sat Beckham down for a standard issue romantic assessment questionnaire.
0:42 How long have you been friends?
0:43 About 5 years.
0:44 Any known allergies?
0:45 No, I don't think so.
0:46 Dietary restrictions.
0:47 Uh, I don't think so.
0:48 Who was her third grade teacher?
0:49 I don't know.
0:50 Does...that matter?
0:52 It matters a lot.
0:52 Oh gosh.
0:53 Look, this is why you came to me for my services.
0:55 I get you from the friend zone to the end zone, OK?
0:58 That was bars.
0:59 Tell me about the girl.
1:00 And it took him a minute to finally open up.
1:03 Um, her name's Venna.
1:04 But when he started talking about Venna.
1:06 She's super nice, she's super athletic, she's super smart.
1:10 It was clear this was the real deal.
1:12 She's like the most fun person you will ever meet.
1:14 She is absolutely beautiful.
1:16 Me and her do ballroom together, she skimboards.
1:19 Not gonna lie, it sounds like you're out of your league.
1:21 I mean, I have your help now.
1:22 That should give me some bonus points.
1:24 You're smarter than I originally thought.
1:25 Having said that, this is gonna be an uphill battle.
1:29 For over a decade, in my ongoing quest to be the favorite uncle,
1:32 I featured all my nephews in a bunch of my YouTube videos,
1:35 building memories that will last a lifetime.
1:42 Who's your favourite uncle?!
1:44 Say my name!
1:45 On top of that, in my early years, I was also known as quite the rizzler myself.
1:50 So today I'm engineering every last detail of Beckham's
1:53 first date to guarantee him a second date.
1:57 This is Uncle for you.
1:59 First up at Heartthrob Bootcamp was to get a baseline
2:01 reading of how cool his nerves were under pressure,
2:04 with the help of a heart rate monitor and 42 tiny nightmares.
2:08 No.
2:09 Yeah!
2:09 You can't do that.
2:11 Oh, I can hear them.
2:12 Oh my gosh, gross!
2:17 I can feel one on the back of my neck.
2:18 Oh, he's going up my hair.
2:20 Picture yourself on a date and she
2:22 asks you if you've ever kissed someone before.
2:24 Oh gosh.
2:24 Heart rate's going up.
2:26 127.
2:27 Clearly he was gonna require significant coaching
2:28 from me on how to remain cool under fire.
2:31 Oh, there's one that's free.
2:33 And while this was certainly a discouraging start.
2:36 Relax, Beckham, relax!
2:37 You're at 135.
2:40 I had higher hopes for this next drill where I Rigged a two-way swinging door
2:43 with a pair of solenoids that would functionally toggle
2:46 it randomly between a push or a pull door.
2:49 It's very important you do not begin with a bad first impression.
2:52 Pushing on a pull door is a very hard hole to dig yourself out of.
2:55 So we're gonna run some drills.
2:56 And step up and start.
3:00 Good.
3:00 Again.
3:02 Good, double time, go.
3:04 Again.
3:06 Again.
3:08 No, focus!
3:10 Faster, she's watching you!
3:12 No!
3:13 She's waiting for you!
3:15 Faster, focus, no!
3:19 We're gonna have to work on that.
3:20 Yeah.
3:21 Which meant it was the perfect time for me to Mr.
3:23 Miyagi this thing.
3:24 Give me that drink?
3:24 Yeah, the tropical one.
3:25 With a 15 second first date conditioning sequence.
3:28 Alright, I'm gonna need you to go up there.
3:29 We gotta swap all the boxes
3:31 in that compartment with the boxes in that compartment.
3:33 Let's go!
3:37 Lift with the knees.
3:41 Move those rubber chickens.
3:44 Oh!
3:45 Oh no!
3:51 Thank you.
3:51 Yeah, of course.
3:52 Back to work.
4:01 I literally just feel like I'm doing chores for you.
4:03 Don't you see?
4:05 When you were up there pushing in all the bins,
4:08 that was training you to push and pull out her chair.
4:11 When you came down here and put the sweatshirt down for bam,
4:14 if it's rainy, you're gonna need to cover a puddle.
4:16 Well, what about the toilet then?
4:18 Oh, that just needed to be cleaned.
4:20 So with our training complete,
4:21 it was time to assess his likelihood of locking in a second date.
4:25 I didn't know this was a blind date.
4:26 Leave the jokes to me.
4:28 OK.
4:29 I'd like to officially introduce you to.
4:32 Broomhilda, this is our AI date assessment bot.
4:35 Is that even a broom?
4:36 It is a mop, I just couldn't think of a cool name with mop in it.
4:39 Using state of the art artificial intelligence algorithms,
4:42 Broomhilda was engineered to listen and respond
4:44 to Beckham just like a human girl would.
4:48 Sorry.
4:48 And just like a date with a human girl,
4:50 Beckham would still need to be a gentleman.
4:52 Hi Broomhilda.
4:54 Hey, so nice to finally meet you.
4:56 I wanna actually try a pickup line on you if that's OK.
4:59 I wanted to bring a polar bear to break the ice,
5:01 but it actually wouldn't fit through the door.
5:04 Ha ha ha ha.
5:06 A polar bear, that's quite the effort, good thing it didn't actually happen,
5:10 but seriously, what do you do for fun?
5:12 A lot of times I like to help my mom around the house with some chores and then.
5:15 Ha ha.
5:16 Ha.
5:16 Blushes slightly with a little smile.
5:19 Uh...
5:19 Crap, I just brain farted.
5:21 Beckham,- Sorry.
5:23 You cannot do that on your date.
5:25 As for me, I'm a huge bookworm.
5:27 I also love trying out new cafes and boba places with my friends.
5:31 Well, I also do like boba myself, so what's your favorite flavor?
5:34 Maybe one of these times I can make you a boba.
5:37 Wait, you make your own boba?
5:39 No way, that's seriously impressive, Beckham.
5:42 Maybe I could take you up on that someday.
5:44 Ha ha.
5:44 Leans forward slightly, a playful glint in her eye.
5:48 Um, you mentioned that you like reading and books.
5:50 I actually really enjoy reading too.
5:52 What kind of books do you like to read?
5:53 Do you like fantasy, sci-fi, like what about some romance?
5:56 A good love story can definitely reel me in.
5:59 Why don't we just make our own romance story?
6:02 Well, Beckham, that's quite a proposition.
6:04 Small surprised giggle, a blush creeping into her cheeks.
6:08 Speaking of diving into new ideas,
6:10 it always makes me think of your uncle Mark Rober.
6:13 He's just so brilliant at exploring and explaining things,
6:16 it's like all his inventions-- It's too much.
6:20 Ha ha, wow.
6:21 Alright, Beckham, you're a fantastic talker.
6:24 Second date likelihood is 95%.
6:26 I had an amazing time and I'd absolutely love to see you again.
6:31 OK.
6:31 So to get us to 100%, I had a plan.
6:34 After picking her up from her house, the date will unfold in 3 key locations,
6:38 where Beckham would kick things off on the way to mini
6:40 golf by heroically saving a little girl's cat from a tree.
6:43 Then after absolutely destroying her at mini golf,
6:45 he would continue his domination at the arcade and then end
6:48 the night with a romantic dinner at a high-end Italian restaurant.
6:52 Now of course, at each location, I would be orchestrating some W's for Beckham,
6:56 using various engineering interventions to raise his rizz
6:58 level to that of his favorite uncle.
7:00 But just to be sure,
7:01 I'd be following them in a state of the art surveillance vehicle,
7:04 disguised as a plumber's van.
7:06 And if nothing else, she'll at least be impressed with your brand new car.
7:09 I get to keep it?
7:10 Absolutely not.
7:10 All right, rest up, we got a big date tomorrow.
7:13 I'm feeling pretty optimistic.
7:15 Me too.
7:16 So while Beckham went to get his much-needed beauty sleep,
7:18 I ran through my plan one final time.
7:20 And so the next day, once every final detail was locked into place,
7:24 Operation Favorite Uncle was officially a go.
7:27 Here we go.
7:28 Weather's not great, but you know,
7:29 you gotta be nimble on your feet when it comes to dating.
7:33 Can you hear me, Beckham?
7:34 Yeah.
7:34 Let's go.
7:34 You're in very good hands.
7:36 I'm feeling good.
7:37 I'm excited.
7:37 I will be with you the whole way.
7:39 See that plumbing van off to your right?
7:41 Yeah.
7:41 Guaranteed the world's worst plumber.
7:44 Ah, Beckham.
7:45 Please don't wreck my brand new Rivian.
7:46 I won't.
7:48 I'll try not to actually.
7:49 All right, let's do this.
7:51 Go up, say hello and bring her back to the car.
7:53 OK.
7:54 Did you bring an umbrella?
7:56 Me?
7:57 OK.
7:57 This isn't our best start, but,- Let's do it.
7:59 All right.
8:00 When you get to the door, you gotta use the right number of knocks.
8:02 Two feels like you're bored, four is too eager.
8:05 Oh, there's a gate.
8:06 Wait!
8:07 Remember your training.
8:09 Faster!
8:10 Focus!
8:12 Again!
8:14 Is it a push or a pull?
8:17 It's a push.
8:18 OK.
8:19 Good.
8:19 Push it just like we-- I went through.
8:21 Oh, nice.
8:22 All right, here we go.
8:23 Three knocks.
8:27 Oh gosh.
8:33 I really hope she's home.
8:34 Hi Beckham.
8:35 Hi Venna.
8:36 You look nice.
8:37 Well, thank you.
8:38 She said he looks nice!
8:39 Sorry about the weather.
8:40 It's OK.
8:42 Oh, that's good.
8:43 She's going too fast.
8:44 Bro, speed up!
8:45 Do not let her open her own door.
8:48 Thank you.
8:49 Good.
8:50 Oh, so far, so good.
8:51 All right, here we go.
8:52 Remember what worked with Broomhilda.
8:54 You ready?
8:54 Yeah.
8:55 All right, give her the line.
8:57 Well, I was gonna bring a polar bear.
9:00 Wait.
9:02 Finish the line!
9:04 To break the ice.
9:07 That's cool.
9:08 We'll make up for that.
9:09 You can't expect to hit them all.
9:11 So with that admittedly rough start, it was time to cut our losses and move
9:14 on to the next-- You gotta start the car, Beckham.
9:17 There we go.
9:19 OK, I'm gonna meet you at the cat house.
9:21 Stall, so I have a heads up.
9:23 It's a new car, so you know...
9:24 It's nice.
9:25 I have to be careful with this car though because I may
9:27 or may not have two tickets and a car accident on my record.
9:31 Oh.
9:31 Do you wanna see how fast the car goes?
9:33 No!
9:34 Yeah, I do actually.
9:35 Oh my gosh.
9:36 Oh my gosh, what?!
9:39 Do not ruin my brand new Rivian!
9:41 That was fun.
9:42 That was fun.
9:43 But this was not the time for fun,
9:45 what this date needed was the first phase in my engineered master plan.
9:49 The car would be flagged down by a desperate
9:51 little girl whose cat is stuck in a tree,
9:53 only it's not her real cat, it's a fake cat.
9:55 And it's resting against a lever attached to a remote control servo motor,
9:58 exactly like the one I used when I was in the abandoned city.
10:02 And needed a covert way to prank MrBeast.
10:04 This is the most Mark Rober thing I've ever seen.
10:07 And so once Beckham is in position,
10:08 I'll trigger the motor which will push the cat out of the tree,
10:11 as he deftly performs a Texas switch with the real cat on the ground
10:15 and returns the little girl's actual prized pet like the nonchalant hero he is.
10:19 Here we go, we're in place, Beckham.
10:20 Pull up slowly and act surprised.
10:23 What the...?
10:24 Who's this?
10:28 Excuse me guys, my cat is stuck in the branch.
10:30 Can you please help me get her down.
10:31 Oh my gosh, yeah.
10:33 With confidence.
10:34 Holy crap.
10:36 It's fine, it's fine, you can just stay in the car.
10:44 You can just stay in the car.
10:45 Ok.
10:45 I'll go get it.
10:46 OK.
10:47 Subtle hand contact.
10:49 She's up there.
10:50 Oh my gosh, that's crazy.
10:52 Here kitty, kitty, kitty, come here.
10:55 Oh, she is loving this.
10:57 Come here.
11:02 Jeez.
11:03 And with a quick sleight of hand, Beckham was now a hero.
11:05 Oh my gosh, thank you so much.
11:07 Of course, I'm glad I could help.
11:08 Thank you.
11:09 Yeah.
11:09 Oh, she looked impressed.
11:11 Thank you.
11:12 Jeez, that's insane.
11:15 You just saved her day.
11:19 Tell her that's not even your first time.
11:21 That's like the third time this week.
11:22 Wow.
11:23 I just have like a thing with animals, I think.
11:25 So with phase one a success, it was time for phase two.
11:28 A1 plumbers at your service.
11:30 What was that?
11:31 What was what?
11:31 I thought that only happens in the movies.
11:33 It was encouraging to see how impressed Venna was because
11:36 that was nothing compared to what was coming next at-- Golfland.
11:40 Oh!
11:40 OK, Beckham, once you park, just make sure that she stays in the car.
11:45 Wait in the car.
11:47 When you get out- At three o'clock, there's a puddle.
11:51 You know what to do.
11:58 Good.
11:59 Thank you.
11:59 Had to keep your shoes dry.
12:00 We'll just leave the jacket.
12:01 OK.
12:02 We don't need it.
12:02 So once Beckham purchased his golf ball...
12:05 No credit found here.
12:06 No credit found here.
12:08 No credit found.
12:09 And then realized he also had to purchase Venna's golf ball.
12:12 Thank you.
12:12 Being broke, that's not a good look.
12:14 They got to the green.
12:15 Ladies first, of course.
12:17 All right, Beckam, remember,- Ladies like winners.
12:20 I'm terrible at this.
12:21 So you're gonna have to win.
12:23 First hole, let's start strong.
12:28 You're worse than me.
12:29 I may have overshot a little bit.
12:31 And that's why I was here, because in the next hole,
12:34 I'd installed a hidden rotating paddle wheel attached to a 50
12:37 RPM motor that will activate only when it senses Venna's ball,
12:40 brutally rejecting it every time.
12:42 Are you sure you don't want to go first?
12:44 You got this.
12:45 No, she doesn't.
12:48 Oh.
12:51 Huh.
12:52 What?!
12:54 Okay, reshot, reshot, reshot.
12:58 Oh, that's OK, don't worry.
13:00 You got this, you got this.
13:03 Oh?
13:04 Bro!
13:05 I just wanted to beat you.
13:07 You're at 10.
13:10 11.
13:10 Give it another shot.
13:12 That's 12.
13:13 Every time!
13:14 Here, I'll help you out.
13:15 I'll help you out, ready, ready, ready?
13:16 I'm pretty good at putt putt, ready?
13:18 OK, Beckham, I'm- turning off the paddle wheel, and you know exactly what to do.
13:23 So what you gotta do you gotta line up right behind it.
13:26 Uh-huh.
13:26 That's very smooth.
13:28 OK, and then you gotta pull back swing, look at that, that was awesome.
13:33 Thank you.
13:34 That's 13.
13:35 And with that healthy lead, it was up to Beckham to keep his competitive edge.
13:38 Oh.
13:39 Oh.
13:40 That was almost good.
13:42 So close.
13:43 And since he was incapable of doing that,- Wait.
13:46 I made sure the cup on the final hole was connected to a brushless motor
13:50 that would use centrifugal force to stealthily eject
13:52 only Vena's ball anytime she sank her putt.
13:56 Oh, you almost had it.
13:57 Just go again, don't worry about it.
14:02 Why?
14:02 What is it doing?
14:04 Here, I'll go, I'll go.
14:07 There we go.
14:09 This is good.
14:09 This is good.
14:10 Let's go play arcade games.
14:11 So with that narrow victory, Beckham and Venna made their way into the arcade
14:14 where they would kick things off at the vending machine,
14:17 because after running a search and scan
14:19 algorithm of Venna's entire social footprint,
14:21 I knew Goldfish crackers were her favorite snack.
14:23 So with nothing but a nonchalant bump of his fist,
14:26 a hidden server motor would advance exactly one bag of Goldfish crackers,
14:30 proving that in addition to being a winner, Beckham was a capable provider.
14:34 Do you want a snack?
14:36 Please say goldfish.
14:37 I want the, the goldfish.
14:39 Goldfish?
14:40 Yeah.
14:40 I got it.
14:44 Nailed it.
14:47 What?!
14:48 Yes.
14:49 OK, I want a Twix.
14:51 Unfortunately, we weren't prepared for seconds.
14:53 Uh, no, no, no, no, no more, one per play.
14:55 Great work, Beckham.
14:56 Now remind her, you're still a winner.
14:57 No!
14:59 Yeah!
15:00 Holy Beckham.
15:01 No mercy!
15:03 No!!
15:04 Oh yeah.
15:06 Oh yeah.
15:07 Nooo!!
15:07 Don't forget to rub it in.
15:08 In your face.
15:10 Yes!
15:11 Just kidding.
15:12 Now that he had some wins under his belt,
15:14 we wanted to close things out with a knockout punch.
15:19 I felt like that was a good punch.
15:21 Which Beckham did not deliver.
15:23 Is it laughing at you?
15:24 Venna, on the other hand, nailed it.
15:28 What?!
15:29 Bro, she is stronger than you.
15:32 In your face!!
15:33 What?!
15:33 Are you kidding me?
15:34 And knowing he couldn't end on an L, I had an idea,
15:37 so when Venna went to the bathroom, we had to improvise.
15:39 Beckham, listen up.
15:40 Go get a Pez dispenser and an extra arcade card and I'll walk you through it.
15:44 I need a Pez dispenser and an extra arcade card.
15:46 For my arcade engineering hack video,
15:48 I'd already figured out that you've attach an arcade card
15:50 with a slot cut in it to the end of a Pez dispenser,
15:53 and then release it right in front of the beam break sensor,
15:55 you could fool the game into thinking it was actually a really fast punch.
15:59 Now it was up to my nephew to not get caught.
16:02 Beckham?
16:03 I'm taking another go at this.
16:04 Allow me- Uh, just make her look the other way.
16:08 Yo, look at the monkey.
16:09 It was time to see if Beckham's
16:11 engineering could pack the punch that he couldn't.
16:15 No stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
16:20 Thank you.
16:21 Good thing I have you,- covered dog.
16:22 Thank you.
16:23 I think it's rigged!
16:23 I don't think so.
16:24 She respects the winner.
16:25 Put me up against Mike Tyson.
16:26 With a new high score achieved and the prize wall cleared,
16:29 it was nearly time for the final phase of Beckham's date.
16:33 OK, pal, time to demonstrate that raw power.
16:36 Here's your moment.
16:37 They parked so close.
16:39 Wow.
16:39 Let's go, baby.
16:46 Yes!
16:49 There's no way.
16:50 But there was indeed a way,
16:51 and it was by secretly placing the car on a tray of BBs,
16:54 which as we've shown many times here at CrunchLabs,
16:58 reduces your friction force to basically zero.
17:02 Beast mode.
17:03 Are you OK?
17:04 Yeah.
17:05 How'd you just...
17:06 This is why you don't skip leg day.
17:08 This is why you don't skip leg day.
17:09 Just in case somebody parks too close?
17:12 Exactly.
17:13 It's too easy.
17:15 Does that never happen to you?
17:16 Now all things considered, things have gone pretty well for Beckham.
17:18 Which meant if I was going to cement my place in the Uncle Hall of Fame,
17:21 it was up to me to stick the landing.
17:24 Alright, so we're headed up to this killer view to close this out.
17:27 The final stretch was a perfect fine
17:29 dining experience over a breathtaking citywide view,
17:31 maximally romanticized via three innovations of engineering and science.
17:36 The first, a single 30 ft long spaghetti noodle
17:39 prepared by the internet's favorite chef,- Mark, I got you.
17:42 Nick Di Giovanni.
17:43 Boom, 50 yolks exactly.
17:44 Let's make some giant pasta.
17:46 The two of them eating the single unbroken noodle would provide
17:49 the perfect opportunity for a lady and the tramp style first kiss,
17:52 enabled by the second innovation,
17:54 a secretly mobile robotic chair designed to bring
17:56 them closer together physically as they grow together emotionally.
18:00 And for the third, Chopsticks the piano
18:02 would play them a perfect musical accompaniment
18:05 as they relaxed to a surprise show of 500 drones taking to the sky,
18:08 recreating the best moments of their first date.
18:11 It was a foolproof formula for flying sparks, which is exactly what was needed.
18:16 The clouds are looking better.
18:17 Than they were.
18:19 For someone with my nephew's level of riz.
18:22 Nice weather.
18:23 But I knew as long as he didn't blow it on the commute to the restaurant,
18:26 the second they got there.
18:27 Wow.
18:28 Oh my gosh.
18:28 Look at this place.
18:29 Love was guaranteed because we couldn't have possibly asked
18:32 for a better place to meet the love of your life.
18:35 Follow me this way.
18:36 Perfect, thank you.
18:37 This will be your table.
18:39 Thank you Look at this view.
18:42 This is so fancy.
18:43 Two cups, two spoons, two forks.
18:45 How'd you pull this off?
18:47 Um...
18:48 Tell her that Dairy Queen pays pretty well these days.
18:51 I got a raise, not.
18:53 Oh.
18:53 But the real reason he could afford a space like
18:56 this is because we created a space like this just for him,
18:59 cause we'd rented this empty venue in order to create
19:02 an entire restaurant centering on getting these two together.
19:05 We filled the other tables with customers from Craigslist who were told
19:08 they would be filmed eating a free meal during a restaurant's test run.
19:12 How are we doing tonight?
19:13 Welcome to Restaurante de Gus.
19:16 And then I filled the waitsta with our CrunchLab's toy engineers.
19:19 Sparkling cider?
19:19 Same for me.
19:20 OK.
19:20 This assured I could control absolutely everything, from the menu.
19:24 Fresh caught squid.
19:25 What?
19:26 To the placement of the hidden cameras.
19:28 To our first date.
19:30 To the flow of conversation.
19:31 All right dude, let's do this.
19:32 Start by um ask her a question about herself.
19:36 What's your favorite blizzard flavor?
19:38 My favorite blizzard.
19:39 Blizzard flavor, yeah.
19:40 Uh, Butterfinger.
19:41 That one's actually so easy to make.
19:42 Really?
19:42 There's one ingredient because like there's some ingredients that are like sharp
19:45 and they'll just like shoot out the cup and you're like-- Beckham, Beckham.
19:48 Don't get in the weeds on making blizzards.
19:51 Give her a compliment.
19:52 Your hair looks good.
19:54 Thank you.
19:54 Like, actually.
19:55 Thank you.
19:56 No, don't...
19:57 Not actually Beckham.
19:58 Not actually, wait-- What?
20:01 It looks great.
20:01 Oh my gosh.
20:03 Lauren.
20:03 Get in there and go take their orders.
20:05 Have you guys had some time to look over the menu?
20:07 What do you recommend?
20:08 Our chef Anthony does a great spaghetti.
20:11 I'll take that.
20:12 We got her.
20:12 I kinda wanna try the gnocchi.
20:16 I'm telling you, the spaghetti is great.
20:18 Oh.
20:18 You- Get the spaghetti, that's the whole point!
20:21 Uh, I guess I could just get spaghetti.
20:23 Great choice.
20:24 And despite Beckham seemingly trying his hardest to screw things up,
20:27 I felt things were going relatively well, but we were pretty soon interrupted.
20:32 Maybe apologize that it's so windy.
20:34 Sorry that it's so windy.
20:35 It's OK.
20:35 And though he tried to power through,- Swirl
20:37 the glass and say the Martinelli's has great legs.
20:40 It soon became shockingly clear.
20:44 Oh.
20:45 Why there had not already been a restaurant
20:47 on top of this beautiful windy hillside.
20:51 Let's go ahead and send the spaghetti in, Lauren.
20:53 It was time to kick off part one of our scientific romantic tour de
20:56 force by serving up Nick Di Giovanni's 30 ft long single strand of spaghetti.
21:00 Doesn't even fit in my kitchen anymore.
21:02 And once it was dressed and ready to consume,
21:04 we sent it out to the floor to recapture the moment.
21:06 Things might be about to heat up a little bit if you know what I mean.
21:09 Now it's time for the grand entrance of the chef's magnificent spaghetti.
21:13 Hi guys, the chef's magnificent- Spaghetti.
21:17 Enjoy- Thank you.
21:19 Thank you, Lauren.
21:20 Beckham, it's all you.
21:21 And now we had a waiting game,
21:23 time for each to enjoy their servings of this delicious meal.
21:26 Beckham, you're making a mess.
21:28 Laugh about that.
21:29 Haha.
21:30 Good laugh.
21:31 Until they hit that magic spot in the noodle
21:33 that would give them their very first-- Wait, um.
21:38 Um?
21:39 What happened?
21:40 She cut it?
21:41 Are you gonna like get that off the table or...?
21:44 Yeah, I'll- I'll get it off the table.
21:46 Oh- Enjoy.
21:48 This is a disaster, you guys should be kissing by this point.
21:51 Part one, I completely failed to bring them emotionally closer.
21:56 That's actually pretty good.
21:57 So it was up to part two to bring them physically closer,
22:00 because while that may look like a normal chair,
22:02 it's actually an omnidirectional power chair,
22:04 made by basically attaching a hoverboard to the bottom
22:07 of a normal chair with four additional caster wheels for stability,
22:10 which meant that all we needed was an opportunity to secretly deploy it.
22:14 OK, Beckham, go ahead and distract her.
22:16 That view is actually amazing.
22:18 It is amazing.
22:25 Are you moving?
22:26 No.
22:26 Good, Beckham.
22:27 Good.
22:29 I wish there was more stars though.
22:35 No.
22:37 Let's cover the distance.
22:38 One last distraction, Beckham.
22:40 Something really big this time.
22:41 Look at all this greenery.
22:43 Perfect.
22:44 Like I love this greenery.
22:47 But all of a sudden.
22:49 Hold on.
22:50 We hit technical difficulties.
22:53 Aah!
22:53 Beckham!
22:54 Mark!
22:55 Stand by.
22:56 I'm working on it.
22:56 Hold on.
22:57 Uncle Mark.
22:59 Oh, hi guys.
23:00 What's going on?
23:03 I, I think I'll go back to my table.
23:04 OK.
23:05 Uncle Mark, what was that?
23:08 What just happened?
23:09 Oh, sorry.
23:10 The wind's pretty, pretty bad right now.
23:11 You need to eat more then.
23:14 I'll make up for it, pal, I'm gonna start chopsticks.
23:17 At this point, phase three was gonna have to save everything.
23:20 My trusty self-playing piano chopsticks would finally
23:22 give me some control back on the evening.
23:25 Who were you talking to when you were going on a joy ride?
23:28 Just like getting mad at the chair took me back to the wrong table.
23:32 It didn't have the pretty girl.
23:38 What's going on?
23:40 All right, Becks, there you go.
23:41 This should help recover nicely.
23:43 That's impressive.
23:45 We should dance.
23:46 We should dance?
23:47 Do you wanna dance?
23:47 Sure.
23:47 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't.
23:49 Don't dance.
23:50 Beckham, do not dance.
23:51 This is gonna be-- This was unbelievable.
23:54 Did he just-- My punk nephew had gone totally rogue and was risking everything.
24:00 Beckham!
24:01 Are you crazy?
24:03 We didn't practice any of this, she's gonna think you're a terrible dancer.
24:06 You might get hurt.
24:07 Beckham!
24:07 Can you even hear me?
24:09 Oh wait, I didn't do it right.
24:10 OK, ready?
24:12 Dip.
24:14 All right, this needs to end.
24:15 Fortunately, the musical accompaniment was controlled by me,
24:18 so with a few simple keystrokes.
24:23 Oh.
24:23 I was able to put the kibosh on this ridiculous dancing.
24:26 Um, OK.
24:28 All right, Beckham, now just get back to the table where it's safe.
24:31 But he couldn't even pull that off.
24:35 That was easy.
24:36 Let me take over.
24:37 OK.
24:38 No.
24:38 I'll just play.
24:39 I wrote a song.
24:40 You wrote a song?
24:41 Yeah, I did.
24:42 What?
24:42 When?
24:43 I prepare myself for the secondhand embarrassment.
24:46 But then he started to play.
24:49 And pretty suddenly, the mood shifted.
24:53 And as heads started to turn, and the crowd started to pay attention,
24:57 no one was listening harder than Beckham's date.
25:00 And that's when I realized maybe my young little
25:03 nephew might end up finding love on his own.
25:06 He rambles when he's excited, he's a little clumsy when he's nervous,
25:10 and he's never been able to beat me in any game we've ever played ever,
25:14 but he doesn't deserve love in spite of all that, I suppose he deserves
25:18 love because of all that, because those are the things that make him, him.
25:25 I didn't know you played the piano.
25:26 Yeah.
25:27 That was awesome.
25:28 That's a development.
25:30 I don't know if you've noticed some of the weird
25:31 things that have been going on,- Yeah, I've noticed.
25:34 Yeah, so I just wanna come clean.
25:36 I really wanted to impress you, so I called up my uncle and he's an engineer
25:39 and we built all this stuff to to impress you.
25:42 You didn't have to do all of that.
25:43 Sounds like a lot of trouble.
25:45 Yeah.
25:45 And if Beckham was coming clean.
25:47 I'm really sorry about that.
25:48 I might as well too.
25:50 Hey.
25:50 Oh.
25:51 Hello.
25:51 How's it going?
25:52 I'm Mark.
25:53 I'm Beckham's uncle.
25:54 Nice to meet you.
25:54 It's good to meet you.
25:55 I'm sorry about all this.
25:57 Yeah.
25:58 I've been watching you from a plumber's van all
26:00 day in the non-creepiest way if you could say that.
26:03 There's no non-creepy way to say that.
26:04 I think you might be right.
26:06 I had one last surprise.
26:08 Oh gosh.
26:09 All right, let's go ahead and send them up.
26:11 And with that cue, 500 drones took to the air
26:13 to put the perfect capper on what was hopefully,- What is that?
26:18 The last first date of Beckham's life.
26:21 Oh.
26:21 Whoa.
26:23 Is that a cat in a tree?
26:24 Yes.
26:24 Oh my gosh.
26:27 Oh!
26:28 Little putt putt.
26:29 Oh, made it.
26:29 That was Beckham.
26:30 Oh!
26:31 Oh, no, no, no, no.
26:31 Wait, no!
26:32 Guess it's Venna.
26:33 That's your fault.
26:34 The drones ran through the highlights of this very unique date.
26:38 With one last showstopper, which was the one I was most nervous about.
26:46 Did the first date go good enough?
26:47 Definitely.
26:49 Now that was out of this world.
26:51 What?
26:51 Whoa.
26:52 I just asked him to do a UFO because I thought it would look cool.
26:55 So the only question left was-- Me on the second date or no?
27:00 Oh, I'm gonna say no.
27:01 I mean, I'm pretty booked out.
27:02 I don't think I- I couldn't have come anyways.
27:04 Right.
27:04 And so all that was left was to pay the bill.
27:07 Beckham, it's not a good look if you don't pay for the date.
27:11 It's not a free drone show, come on.
27:14 You got this, pal.
27:16 And as I drifted away,
27:17 it felt really good to know,- $12.50 an hour, DQ's got you!
27:21 That I had finally become the favorite unc-- Uncle advice for $10,000?!
27:26 Dude, you are my least favorite uncle ever!
