About this episode

"“Target ends up being better because Walmart is too busy being chaotic. You know what you didn't see when you went to Target, you didn't see a proposal on aisle eight. You didn't see someone trying on clothes that do not fit them” - Josh Johnson

 

“You've been working your whole life to not be a Walmart person. I, on the other hand, have always embraced the Walmart lifestyle..because when I try to become a Target person, I realize it requires too much drinking of wine and the overpaying for regular ass things.” - Dulcé Sloan

 

It’s Target vs. Walmart this week on Hold Up with Daily Show correspondent Dulcé Sloan and writer Josh Johnson.
