Let's go to the Lightning round.
Speaker AChris.
Speaker AActor, entrepreneur, mobile pioneer, 90s film star.
Speaker ARhino.
Speaker ARyan Reynolds.
Speaker AI guess he's still a film star.
Speaker B90S film star.
Speaker AHe was really, he really came online for me in the 90s.
Speaker AHe will take the stage as one of the keynotes at NRF this year.
Speaker AIf you could ask him one question, what would it be?
Speaker BOh, man, this.
Speaker BI. Oh God.
Speaker BI, I think this would, I think I'd put him on the spot a little bit.
Speaker BI'd be like, you know, what's your wife's favorite?
Speaker BWhat's your favorite film role of your wife?
Speaker BIt's got to be the town, right?
Speaker BAnd I would literally ask him the town part at the end because I love her in that movie.
Speaker BThat movie is so awesome.
Speaker BThat movie is so great.
Speaker BOh man.
Speaker BThe 90s, what do you go back to?
Speaker BIs like Canadian television.
Speaker BI remember him from Van Wilder, which.
Speaker AIs like Van Wilder.
Speaker AOh, maybe it was 2000s.
Speaker AYeah, I guess that's probably it.
Speaker ABut it felt like late 90s, early 2000s.
Speaker AVan Wilder.
Speaker AOh man, that's.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BNot necessarily appropriate for today's generation and all the social mores, but.
Speaker BBut definitely a movie that doesn't get talked about enough.
Speaker BAll right, next one.
Speaker BLast week, the last week, the largest ever gathering of golden retrievers occurred in Buenos Aires.
Speaker BAnd if you could have any four legged creature, creature, nine us leg canine creature, join your family, what four legged creature would you want it to be?
Speaker AUh, it would be a dog, I think.
Speaker AI just.
Speaker AI we.
Speaker AMy son's allergic, but he just made a presentation for me on his little Google Power Slide.
Speaker APowerPoint slides about a new breed called like an F1B or F1B1 or something which is a golden doodle crossed with a poodle.
Speaker AThat is supposed to be the most hypoallergenic dog that exists right now.
Speaker AThey're very adorable.
Speaker ABut it's still not happening.
Speaker BYou still said no, I crushed his.
Speaker ALittle heart at Christmas time.
Speaker AI did.
Speaker ABut yeah, I just.
Speaker AWe're not, we're not the people that can care properly for a dog.
Speaker AI would love to like rent a dog and just have it on occasion.
Speaker AAnd then, you know, I'd have to it to.
Speaker BYou can do that.
Speaker BThey have services where you could do that for the weekend if you wanted.
Speaker AWell, I am going to take him.
Speaker AThey're doing puppy yoga in Minneapolis and they are doing an F1B puppy yoga class.
Speaker ASo I figured that's going to be.
Speaker AThat will be his Christmas present.
Speaker AThat will kind of, kind of do that.
Speaker AAnd then it's just going to be awful after because he'll be so sad that he can't take.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker AOne spot likely to land on many NRF store tours as we head into New York in January will be the new Calvin Klein flagship that opened recently in New York's SoHo neighborhood.
Speaker AThe story the store carries the full Calvin Klein assortment, from denim to T shirts and, of course, underwear.
Speaker AChris, what Calvin Klein item would you most want to leave the Calvin Klein store tour carrying?
Speaker BOh, my God.
Speaker BThe only thing I could ever think about when a Calvin Klein is like, it's like Elaine told Marty, it's written all over your underwear.
Speaker BAnd it's written all over my underwear.
Speaker BThat's all I can think about.
Speaker BThat's all I'd want to take out of that store.
Speaker BAll right, last one.
Speaker BThis one's sad, folks.
Speaker BTo honor the late Rob Reiner, for whom we always pay homage on this podcast when we try to dial things up to 11, what is your Mount Rushmore of Rob Reiner movies?
Speaker APrincess Bride.
Speaker AI still love that movie so much.
Speaker BParticular order or are these just like.
Speaker AOh, no, they're just like, top four.
Speaker ASo cool.
Speaker APrincess Bride.
Speaker AWhen.
Speaker AWhen Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me, and A Few Good Men.
Speaker AThose would be my four.
Speaker AWhat would your four be?
Speaker BIt's hard to argue those.
Speaker BIt's definitely hard to argue those.
Speaker ALet me think.
Speaker BI. Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, for sure.
Speaker BAnd then I probably put Spinal Tap in there just because it's quoted so often, although I haven't watched it in a long time.
Speaker BStand By Me is tough to argue with, too.
Speaker BSo I don't know, you know, maybe.
Speaker BMaybe 4A, 4B.
Speaker BFor me, it's.
Speaker AIt's like a.
Speaker AThere's just a whole Mount Rushmore peanut gallery.
Speaker AThere's just, like, layers to p. Of people up there or of movies up there for him.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BAt Orange Theory this week, the guy during the cooldown played.
Speaker BPlayed Stand By Me, the song, you know, and.
Speaker BAnd I was, like, saying, oh, wow, this is so apropos.
Speaker BAnd most people didn't even know what I was talking about or they were too tired to care, you know, I don't know.
