Devin and Andy visit allowance store/doodad emporium Five Below. Is it succeeding at its napkin-writ founding mission statement of “You can always say ‘yes’ to the trendiest coolest high-quality stuff that you just gotta have”? Does the Dribble Zone, an in-store space where ball-bouncing is encouraged, show that we can exist freely and follow rules, a kind of mini social contract in action? What should a Scrub Daddy cost? Could the cozy-coded seasonal section win over Grinches? Is this in fact the best candy store chain in the country, and are they intentionally putting the old-coded candy behind a pillar? Is this Doritos puzzle a "gotta have" item??

Devin and Andy check out the new(ish) Wilson Sporting Goods flagship in SoHo. Is figuring out a way to play tennis in NYC a sport in and of itself? How cool is the playground/park in this store? Can more than one guy in a neighborhood be retro-headband guy? What do we think of lounge spaces in stores? Are the books in back for sale, and do you have a copy of Budge on Tennis?

After a thrilling cold open, Devin and Andy discuss Swedish clothing chain H&M. How important is a store’s soundtrack? How much weight should you give a brand’s ranking from Good on You, a website that assesses fashion label ethics? (A food version of this is Yuka.) Is this a great time for panda dupes? Why are children's clothing departments so much more fun than what's out for adults? How is an H&M store like Central Park? Who’s up for a pillow basketball league?
