- You know, I mean we're a not a boys club or a social club,

we're just a group of husbands, collectively waiting

for our wives in the Target parking lot.

(gentle music)

- I used to get so bored.

- Hours and hours of waiting in the car.

- I thought it would be a good idea one time

to go in with the wife.

Thought I could maybe scout out some camping gear,

something like that.

Just ended up holding her purse.

- Eventually I just started returning the carts,

just to stay busy, get a little exercise.

And then the Target management noticed and they offered

me a job.

They said I could work whenever my wife was shopping.

Last week I clocked 12 hours.

- Between 2015 and 2018, I actually completed my doctorate

online while waiting for my wife.

- Then one day everything changed.

I'm sitting in the car, it's been 63 minutes,

I'm furious, and then there's this knock on the window.

(knocking)

- Hey, got some new jerky, you want to try some?

- Charlie's beef jerky, yeah that was honestly

the start of our friendship.

- It didn't happen all at once.

- Honestly I don't remember how it started.

- Hank came along, and then this Myles guy

started parking closer to us, and then eventually

the group was just formed.

(upbeat music)

- What do we do here?

Well we toss the ball around, we play some cards,

a little gambling.

We have supper if it gets late enough.

- When Myles brought his grill, it changed everything.

- So got your standard grill setup

that everyone has, we got the coffee over here,

we got the beans about to go there.

Brats on the grill, it's lunchtime.

- One summer, we did a series of car washes,

and we actually raised enough money

to put a big screen in the back of Penn's van.

- [All] TV, TV, TV, TV.

(cheering)

- That was a good summer.

- For a while the kids were a little damper on the group,

but then we got a two car system going,

where each guy takes a 15 minute shift watching the kids

while the others just get to chill, hang out.

- Eventually we decided just to put a security camera

in the day care van, so we could keep an eye on the kids,

but also keep a full poker table.

(maaning)

- God.

- This will pay for my wife's Target run.

- Hey does somebody got eyes on the kids?

- Oh they're fine.

(rock music)

- You know honestly, I think this has saved my marriage.

My wife and I used to constantly fight about how much time

she was spending at Target.

But now, thanks to the group,

my marriage is stronger than ever.

- I clip coupons for her now, so we can head to Target

and I can hang out with the guys and she can do her thing,

whatever she does in there.

- Taylor, we gotta go, we gotta go.

- Oh come on, babe, five more minutes.

- No we gotta go right now.

- Just five more minutes.

- You guys have been in here all day.

- Pam, see the sale on the curtains?

- Saw it.

- They're really nice.

- They're real cute.

- Saw it, gotta go.

- I know it sounds crazy, but I look forward

to those throw pillows going on sale now.

Get to see my boys.

- Honey, we're coming tomorrow?

- Yeah they got a sale tomorrow,

you'll be here.

- We got a sale tomorrow.

Okay all right yeah I'll see you guys tomorrow.

- All right sounds good.

- See you guys tomorrow.

- I just hope it doesn't end with us.

- I would love to see Target husband groups

just formed all over the world.

- There's no reason for any husband to have to endure

a red tag sale alone.

(upbeat music)

- If you see another guy waiting for his wife,

just offer him some beef jerky,

let him know you're down to hang.

- Your best friend may be just two cars away.

(upbeat music)

- We have so much in common, we all have wives,

and they're all in there, somewhere.

- My name is Myles.

- My name is Penn.

- My name is Charlie.

- My name is Taylor, and I am a Target husband.

- And I'm a Target husband.

- And I'm a Target husband.

- And I'm a Target Husband.

(gentle music)

(upbeat music)

- [Man] Keep her movin'.

- [Woman] Oh you betcha, yeah.

- [Woman] Yeah.
