All right, Chris, let's go to the lightning round.
Speaker A:You get the first question here.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:This is a very apropos question.
Speaker A:There is a hilarious debate on TikTok right now.
Speaker A:I highly encourage people to check it out, asking, who would win in a battle, 100 Brits or 100Americans?
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:I want to know this.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:I want to know, if you were recruiting the American Dream Team for this effort, which states and cities would you recruit from in the U.S.
Speaker A:oh, man.
Speaker B:Oh, that's such a great question.
Speaker B:And that the answer to this is easy.
Speaker B:I'm going 100% all in on Boston.
Speaker A:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker B:They did it once, they could do it again, you know, and the muscles will come out in force to defend.
Speaker B:To defend our nation 100%.
Speaker B:I'm going all in on Boston.
Speaker B:No, New York is just busted muscles through and through.
Speaker A:The threads are so great.
Speaker A:You have to read these.
Speaker A:Like, people are like, going back to the Brits, and the Brits are like, oh, we'll get some people from Newcastle and all these places, and.
Speaker A:And then they're like, one answer.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:One of the answers was, but in the US we have Florida, man, so we will win no matter what.
Speaker A:Like, he'll wrestle a gator to the death.
Speaker A:Not scared.
Speaker A:Like, it's amazing.
Speaker A:Go down this rabbit hole.
Speaker B:Highly.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:That's so good.
Speaker B:Such a good question.
Speaker B:All right, the paper, Peacock's new Office offshoot will debut in September.
Speaker B:I'm curious.
Speaker B:And where does the Office rank in your pantheon of great sitcoms?
Speaker A:Top three for sure.
Speaker B:I mean, I've never seen an episode.
Speaker A:You haven't?
Speaker B:No, I've seen the British Office.
Speaker B:I've never seen the American Office episode.
Speaker B:I need to watch it.
Speaker B:Yeah, but it's in your top three for sure.
Speaker A:It's just.
Speaker A:It was so good.
Speaker A:And at the time, it was like.
Speaker A:It's like Friends.
Speaker A:Like, it was just.
Speaker A:It provided that moment of laughter that you, like, you knew you're going to be laughing at something.
Speaker A:And I love a show like that where you can, you know, you're going to get a smile out of it.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Top three.
Speaker B:Okay, I'll check it out.
Speaker A:What are your top three?
Speaker B:Oh, man, I.
Speaker B:I mean, Seinfeld and Cheers are definitely running for 1 and 2.
Speaker B:I'd have to think about what 3 is, and I want to spend more time on that than being put on the spot because, you know, important pop, cultural sitcom television.
Speaker B:I know my life.
Speaker A:I know.
Speaker A:How dare I ask such a question?
Speaker A:Okay, I'm going to ask you another question.
Speaker A:Mars Pet Care today announced that they are collaborating with a mental health company, Calm, on a collection of content that's meant to help pet lovers think about their bond with their pets as a way to improve their own well being.
Speaker A:What moment with sweet little Ginsburg makes you most happy or calm?
Speaker A:Chris?
Speaker B:Oh, man, that's easy.
Speaker B:Like, I love when Ginsburg, like, I'll be sitting watching tv.
Speaker B:I mean, everyone.
Speaker B:I feel like every dog owner has this story, but she'll come and she'll put her head on my lap and then she rolls over and opens her belly to me and just puts her arms like, straight out like Superman.
Speaker A:Ginsburg is a Bernadoodle for everyone who's a burning doodle.
Speaker B:Yes, Bernie Doodle.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And she just has me stroke her belly for like an hour.
Speaker B:She just doesn't let me stop.
Speaker B:That's the downside of it.
Speaker B:Like, my arm gets really tired after a time.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And she's a very needy dog, though.
Speaker B:She just doesn't let me.
Speaker B:Just doesn't let me go.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker A:But it calms you.
Speaker B:But hey, yeah, it calls me and I.
Speaker B:Yeah, I guess I'm.
Speaker B:I give her what she needs and.
Speaker B:All right, last one.
Speaker B:It is rumored that the final season of Stranger Things.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:And the final season of Stranger Things could debut as soon as October 10th, a little bit later than the typical summer release.
Speaker B:What are you excited to learn in this show's final run, Chris?
Speaker A:I feel terrible.
Speaker A:I can't even remember what happened at the end of last season.
Speaker A:Like, I need the recap.
Speaker A:But if I remember, barely something with the redhead girl was going on, right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Didn't she, like, almost die or was like in a coma or something?
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:She was like, possessed or something.
Speaker A:But, like, I don't know there, like, I think there was something there that I wanted to find out still, so.
Speaker A:But I'm ready for that show to be over.
Speaker A:I know that might not be a popular opinion, but I think I kind of am too.
Speaker B:Like, if.
Speaker B:If they held it out a little much longer, I think I'd be like, okay, come on, let's get this going.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, Millie Bobby Brown doesn't even look the same anymore.
Speaker A:Have you seen pictures of her recently?
Speaker A:I'm like, how are you playing a lot?
Speaker B:She's like 40 now.
Speaker B:Right, right.
Speaker B:But, yeah, no, I think the other thing I want to.
Speaker B:I want to see a steamy scene between David Harbour and Winona Ryder, too.
Speaker B:That's what I want from this episode.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:I want them to get it on.
Speaker B:That's what I want.
Speaker B:Because.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, he was in the Russian prison or something, right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And they got back together?
Speaker B:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker B:Yeah, something like that.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:But, yeah, I want to.
Speaker B:I want to see them.
Speaker B:I want to see.
Speaker B:I want to see that.
Speaker B:I want to see what happens, all right?
Speaker B:See them come together and.
Speaker B:Okay, whatever their two names are in the show, I don't remember.
