All right, let's go to the lightning round.
Speaker AChris, speaking of things coming back, the Body Shop is making its return.
Speaker AWhat 80s or 90s product are you most hoping that they bring back to harness your mall nostalgia days?
Speaker BOh, God.
Speaker BI couldn't name one Body Shop product if I wanted to.
Speaker AAnd the Body Butter.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker BI guess I'd go with bubble bath.
Speaker BNo, I'd go with some kind of bubble bath if I had to pick something because I'm a big bather.
Speaker BI like a good bath.
Speaker BI'm usually a daily bather.
Speaker BLike a good bath after working out.
Speaker BI don't know why, it's probably terrible for me, but yeah, that's, that's mine.
Speaker BI'd go with bubble baths.
Speaker BI mean, maybe something pink, you know, so it really like contrasts when it goes into the water.
Speaker BI think that would be.
Speaker BOr maybe like a bath bomb.
Speaker BThose are cool too.
Speaker BI like the bubbles, the suds.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BBut anyway.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BStephen 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 BAnd wow, that's an endorsement.
Speaker BAre you sharing King's optimism?
Speaker BWill number two with Glen Powell be better than number one with Arnold?
Speaker AI've not seen number one or number two, obviously, since it's not yet out.
Speaker ABut I rarely find that sequels are as good as the originals.
Speaker ASo I'm going with Arnold.
Speaker AI just watched Naked Gun, the new one.
Speaker AYeah, there is still some funny parts, but it's like you just can't.
Speaker ACan't capture lightning in a bottle twice.
Speaker ASo I don't know.
Speaker AI'm gonna say I'm sticking with Arnold.
Speaker AAll right, let's go to question number three.
Speaker AJ.P. morgan employees are headed back to work at the recently completed this is crazy $3 billion 60 floor office tower in Manhattan.
Speaker AThe 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 AChris, what amenities would it take you to get or would it take to get you back into an office?
Speaker BOh, my God, that's so.
Speaker BThat's so easy.
Speaker BAnd for me, you know what?
Speaker BYou know what I always wanted, which I never got, was my own personal bathroom, AKA the executive washroom.
Speaker BI always wanted one of those.
Speaker BLike that would be so great for me.
Speaker BSo great.
Speaker BIt would be so nice to have my own bathroom in my office.
Speaker BYeah, for sure.
Speaker BYeah, that.
Speaker BWould that please.
Speaker BI mean, probably a job that's appealing to me because it would take a lot to get me out of the house.
Speaker BBut, 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 BThank you.
Speaker BGo there.
Speaker BFor those that are listening.
Speaker BYeah, keep that.
Speaker BKeep that in your.
Speaker BIn your file folder.
Speaker BAll right, last one.
Speaker BIt was National Dessert Day yesterday.
Speaker BAnd how did you celebrate?
Speaker AI ate a cookie in the Delta Lounge, I guess.
Speaker AI did not have any dessert yesterday.
Speaker BWhat kind of cookie?
Speaker AIt was just a chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker AI mean.
Speaker BOh, okay.
Speaker AToo good to.
Speaker ANot.
Speaker ATo not grab, so.
Speaker AI didn't even know it was National Dessert Day.
Speaker AMaybe I would have planned that a little bit better had I known, but, yeah.
Speaker AYeah, it was a delicious chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker BAny day you can have a chocolate chip cookie is a win in my book.
Speaker BYou've won the day if you get to eat a chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker BChocolate chip cookies are never not bad, in my opinion.
Speaker BYou know, for the most part.
