I Engineered The Perfect First Date

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!
