What's one thing that the lack of driver improved about your journey and one thing you miss about having a driver behind the wheel?
Speaker B
Oh, and I miss nothing.
Speaker B
I love not having to drive behind the wheel.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
Oh, my God, it was so.
Speaker B
I mean, God, you.
Speaker B
Many times we've gotten into Ubers, and we have, like, disgusting old McDonald's bags in the front seat, and the guy smells like.
Speaker B
Like, you just smoked, like, 16 joints, you know, as well.
Speaker B
Like, that's just not there anymore.
Speaker B
I love it, and I have the confidence that the machine knows how to drive better than the person does, actually, so I think I'm hooked.
Speaker B
Waymo is the future.
Speaker B
And you also don't have to tip, which is just amazing as well.
Speaker B
So, you know, you don't have to give a rating on it either.
Speaker B
You know, it's just.
Speaker B
It's great.
Speaker A
All right, three stars, Waymo.
Speaker A
Three stars.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
I mean, my brother, my wife, everybody, we all just absolutely loved it.
Speaker B
It was such a fun experience, and we tried to do it as much as we could.
Speaker B
All right, number two, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster recently stepped out hand in hand for a dinner date in L.
Speaker B
A.
Speaker B
And if you could date one of the X Men, which X Men would it be?
Speaker A
Let me just Google.
Speaker A
Who are X Men?
Speaker A
Quick.
Speaker A
I.
Speaker A
I don't even know.
Speaker A
I think the people that come to mind for me are, like, Mike, Mark Ruffalo and Paul Rudd.
Speaker A
But they're not X Men.
Speaker A
Right there.
Speaker B
No, they're not.
Speaker B
They're technically not X Men.
Speaker B
And I wasn't actually going for the actor.
Speaker B
I was actually going for the.
Speaker B
The comic book character.
Speaker B
Like, would you date Wolverine?
Speaker B
Would you date Cyclops?
Speaker B
Would you date.
Speaker A
I don't know who they are, Chris.
Speaker A
I don't even know any of these people.
Speaker A
Like, I know that, you know.
Speaker A
Like, I know Mark Ruffalo played the Hulk.
Speaker A
Like, I guess him, but he's not even.
Speaker A
Oh, God, I don't know.
Speaker B
Yeah, no, you're fine.
Speaker B
You're fine.
Speaker A
Hulk is sitting for my personality.
Speaker A
I think, actually, like, now that I.
Speaker A
Now that I'm thinking about it, like, okay, yeah, the Hulk, sure.
Speaker A
Just.
Speaker A
Powerful person.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
So I'm thinking big, bad Colossus fits your personality type.
Speaker A
Who plays that?
Speaker A
Who's Colossus?
Speaker B
Nobody.
Speaker B
It's never been a big.
Speaker B
It's never been a big feature, but you should check him out.
Speaker B
I think he's your type.
Speaker B
Of course, he's all metal as well, so.
Speaker B
So that might.
Speaker B
Might provide a few difficulties for you.
Speaker B
But I think when he's non metal state.
Speaker B
I think you'd like him a lot.
Speaker A
Oh, my God.
Speaker A
All right, Chris Target just launched a new athleisure apparel line in conjunction with with creator Cassie Ho called Blog a Lotties.
Speaker A
If you started an apparel line when you started writing Omnitok the blog back in 2017, what would be one or two hero products you'd create?
Speaker B
Oh, my God.
Speaker B
First of all, Blog A Lottie sounds like something I would 100% create, doesn't it?
Speaker B
Like that sound like a name that.
Speaker A
I thought of that immediately when I saw the press release about Blogilates.
Speaker A
I was like, oh, God, Chris is loving this so much.
Speaker A
Right?
Speaker B
I know.
Speaker B
Yeah, I know.
Speaker B
Right?
Speaker B
And who knows how it's doing too?
Speaker B
But you know, it makes me curious about.
Speaker A
It's like sold out.
Speaker A
It's crazy.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
How much.
Speaker B
How much did they buy to, you know, that whole thing, like, you know.
Speaker B
I'm sure it is, but so this one was fun.
Speaker B
And so for me, I think I would.
Speaker B
I would debut a line of OmniTok inspired Canadian tuxedos because you asked me to go back in time because very.
Speaker A
On trend right now.
Speaker B
I know it's on trend.
Speaker B
And our first Omnitox followers were overwhelmingly Canadian because I think they like our sense of humor and our self deprecating sense of humor.
Speaker B
So.
Speaker B
So, like, I think I'd go with the Canadian tuxedo.
Speaker B
I'm not sure how much they're fans of Canadian tuxedos, but.
Speaker A
Well, Trudeau is available now.
Speaker A
Trudeau's available to be our spokesmodel, so.
Speaker B
Right.
Speaker A
Let's just dive on him.
Speaker B
Sure.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah.
Speaker B
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B
Good looking gentleman.
Speaker A
All right.
Speaker B
And Peter Yarrow of the folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary.
Speaker B
I just lost my headphone.
Speaker B
Coincidentally, the first concert I ever attended died yesterday at age 86.
Speaker B
Yeah, it's very sad.
Speaker B
And it was literally the first concert I ever did.
Speaker A
I know that.
Speaker B
So I ask you, are you more Stuball was a racehorse or a Puff the Magic Dragon fan?
Speaker B
Because I know you're a big music.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
I was not familiar with Stuball, so I listened to that one last night.
Speaker A
But Puff the Magic Dragon for sure.
Speaker A
That just goes down.
Speaker A
Anytime I can talk about Jackie Paper and Hana Lee, I.
Speaker A
It just brings a smile to my face.
Speaker A
So for sure, pop the Magic Dragon, without a doubt.
Speaker B
I have no surprise there.
Speaker B
Panama Red.
