Speaker A

All right, let's go to the lightning round.

Speaker A

Chris, speaking of things coming back, the Body Shop is making its return.

Speaker A

What 80s or 90s product are you most hoping that they bring back to harness your mall nostalgia days?

Speaker B

Oh, God.

Speaker B

I couldn't name one Body Shop product if I wanted to.

Speaker A

And the Body Butter.

Speaker A

Oh, my God.

Speaker B

I guess I'd go with bubble bath.

Speaker B

No, I'd go with some kind of bubble bath if I had to pick something because I'm a big bather.

Speaker B

I like a good bath.

Speaker B

I'm usually a daily bather.

Speaker B

Like a good bath after working out.

Speaker B

I don't know why, it's probably terrible for me, but yeah, that's, that's mine.

Speaker B

I'd go with bubble baths.

Speaker B

I mean, maybe something pink, you know, so it really like contrasts when it goes into the water.

Speaker B

I think that would be.

Speaker B

Or maybe like a bath bomb.

Speaker B

Those are cool too.

Speaker B

I like the bubbles, the suds.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

But anyway.

Speaker B

All right.

Speaker B

Stephen King recently got a sneak preview of the second Running man film, a movie based on his earlier nolla, calling it the Die Hard for Our Time, a bipartisan thrill ride.

Speaker B

And wow, that's an endorsement.

Speaker B

Are you sharing King's optimism?

Speaker B

Will number two with Glen Powell be better than number one with Arnold?

Speaker A

I've not seen number one or number two, obviously, since it's not yet out.

Speaker A

But I rarely find that sequels are as good as the originals.

Speaker A

So I'm going with Arnold.

Speaker A

I just watched Naked Gun, the new one.

Speaker A

Yeah, there is still some funny parts, but it's like you just can't.

Speaker A

Can't capture lightning in a bottle twice.

Speaker A

So I don't know.

Speaker A

I'm gonna say I'm sticking with Arnold.

Speaker A

All right, let's go to question number three.

Speaker A

J.P. morgan employees are headed back to work at the recently completed this is crazy $3 billion 60 floor office tower in Manhattan.

Speaker A

The new office has 19 on site restaurants and Starbucks coffee locations spring sprinkled throughout the floors, plus a 40,000 square foot gym and so much more.

Speaker A

Chris, what amenities would it take you to get or would it take to get you back into an office?

Speaker B

Oh, my God, that's so.

Speaker B

That's so easy.

Speaker B

And for me, you know what?

Speaker B

You know what I always wanted, which I never got, was my own personal bathroom, AKA the executive washroom.

Speaker B

I always wanted one of those.

Speaker B

Like that would be so great for me.

Speaker B

So great.

Speaker B

It would be so nice to have my own bathroom in my office.

Speaker B

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker B

Yeah, that.

Speaker B

Would that please.

Speaker B

I mean, probably a job that's appealing to me because it would take a lot to get me out of the house.

Speaker B

But, like, yes, if I had an appealing job and you were like, hey, we'll give you an executive washroom, I'd be like, yes, please.

Speaker B

Thank you.

Speaker B

Go there.

Speaker B

For those that are listening.

Speaker B

Yeah, keep that.

Speaker B

Keep that in your.

Speaker B

In your file folder.

Speaker B

All right, last one.

Speaker B

It was National Dessert Day yesterday.

Speaker B

And how did you celebrate?

Speaker A

I ate a cookie in the Delta Lounge, I guess.

Speaker A

I did not have any dessert yesterday.

Speaker B

What kind of cookie?

Speaker A

It was just a chocolate chip cookie.

Speaker A

I mean.

Speaker B

Oh, okay.

Speaker A

Too good to.

Speaker A

Not.

Speaker A

To not grab, so.

Speaker A

I didn't even know it was National Dessert Day.

Speaker A

Maybe I would have planned that a little bit better had I known, but, yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah, it was a delicious chocolate chip cookie.

Speaker B

Any day you can have a chocolate chip cookie is a win in my book.

Speaker B

You've won the day if you get to eat a chocolate chip cookie.

Speaker B

Chocolate chip cookies are never not bad, in my opinion.

Speaker B

You know, for the most part.
