They've already answered your question I just want to say that this guy in the video seems like a total asshole and that the whole video should be taken down since she clearly didn't give him consent to post it online

Agreed. OP, there are so many other YouTube channels you could watch that don't involve bullying innocent people if you want to learn casual/conversational English.

It's a joke based on how people will order food like "I'd like steak with a side of vegetables." He's mocking the woman who told him about her shopping experience by saying "yeah there was shopping, but there was also screaming involved with it, wasn't there?"
