Question number one is for you.
Speaker A:I was so excited when I read this because it's perfect for you.
Speaker A:Weight Rooms in the UK has made two major changes in an effort to steal back share from competitors.
Speaker A:Number one, they've reintroduced their free daily tea or Americano program for all loyalty members with or without purchase.
Speaker A:And back by popular demand.
Speaker A:Chris is their original recipe ultra plush toilet paper.
Speaker A:They have brought it back after your customers complained that the new toilet paper was two plies too thin.
Speaker A:Which is of greater value to you, Chris, and would get you to shop at a weight rose.
Speaker A:More ply in the paper or a free morning Americano.
Speaker B:Oh, man, you do know to me so well 100% it's the two ply toilet paper.
Speaker B:And letting.
Speaker B:Letting the listeners in on a little secret.
Speaker B:I now travel with my own toilet paper.
Speaker B:I'm bringing my own toilet paper down, down, down to Florida because I need the extra play.
Speaker B:My tushy needs some cushy.
Speaker B:And that's basically what I would say we were.
Speaker A:You guys, this is a taste of life on the road with Chris and myself.
Speaker A:Chris, we were walking off the plane.
Speaker A:We stop at the bathroom and Chris, like, do you hands a roll of toilet paper?
Speaker A:Do you want some toilet paper to bring into the bathroom in case you need it?
Speaker A:Well, very thoughtful.
Speaker A:Was one of the memories that I will absolutely not forget.
Speaker A:I was standing next to the Wetzel's pretzels in the middle of Las Vegas or New York airport.
Speaker A:I did not need that ply, but I'm glad that you have it, Chris.
Speaker A:And weight Roast has got you.
Speaker A:They've got your back.
Speaker B:You don't.
Speaker B:You don't ever want to be short of ply and.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:Oreo has released limited edition post Malone Oreo cookies that feature a first of a kind, first of its kind swirled cream that is two different flavored cookies and embossments that represent Malone's music career.
Speaker A:Okay, Stretch.
Speaker B:Yeah, right.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:But it made me think, and if you were to design your own Oreo, what color would the filling and the cookie each be?
Speaker A:Oh, this was a fun experiment to think about, Chris.
Speaker A:It would be an Oreo cookie on top and a chewy chips Ahoy on the bottom with a vanilla bean cream center.
Speaker A:Like, I want a little Oreo, a little chocolate chip and then a cream center.
Speaker A:So it'd be not possible to produce Oreo.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:The testing would not go well with a Walmart group because I think so.
Speaker B:It'D be like multiple cookies with the cream filling in the Center.
Speaker B:That's, that's.
Speaker A:It would be like an Oreo top cream filling.
Speaker A:And then instead of another Oreo chocolate cookie, it would be like a chewy Chips Ahoy or like chocolate chip cookie on the bottom.
Speaker B:Well, that would be.
Speaker B:Maybe.
Speaker B:Maybe the makers of Oreo should test that through Walmart's new scintilla.
Speaker A:That's what I said.
Speaker A:It would not test well, so don't do it.
Speaker A:That's not the.
Speaker A:Not the road you should be going down.
Speaker A:But, Chris, I'm going to go to you next.
Speaker A: a footwear trend to watch in: Speaker A:As a house shoe aficionado, what are the critical components of a good house shoe or slipper?
Speaker B:Man, you're bringing out all the skeletons in the wall.
Speaker B:I am like, all my little office.
Speaker A:The news.
Speaker A:It's not me.
Speaker B:Yeah, right, right.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I'm sure it wasn't directed at me at all.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:For those, for those, for those that are listening, I always wear my shoes in the house.
Speaker B:I never walk around my house barefoot.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:And to answer your question, a good pair of house shoes or slippers have to be sturdy.
Speaker B:They have to stand up to stepping on a Lego or bumping your toe into a side table, both of which I've.
Speaker B:That I've done many times, and it hurts.
Speaker A:So these have to have, like, shoe bottoms.
Speaker A:You're talking, like, solid bottoms, like an ugg.
Speaker B:You know where I'm going next?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Because this is why I'm actually not a slipper fan at all.
Speaker B:I always just prefer to wear my shoes in the house.
Speaker A:Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker A:Do you go out in the garage with your shoes on, like, or outside to get, like, the paper or something, or take the garbage out with your house shoes on, or they just stay in the house?
Speaker B:I don't change my shoes when I come in from the outside.
Speaker A:I just feel like this is a Mr.
Speaker A:Rogers situation.
Speaker A:Like, Chris puts his outside shoes on to go take the garbage out and then puts his inside shoes back on.
Speaker A:No, they're.
Speaker A:They're in and out.
Speaker A:Doesn't matter if I were.
Speaker B:If I were staying.
Speaker B:Like, for example, if I was staying at a long time at your house, I would bring a pair of house shoes because I know you require people to take their shoes off.
Speaker B:If I was staying at your house for more than one night, I would bring a pair of shoes and I'd be like, these have been disinfected.
Speaker B:I haven't brought them outside.
Speaker A:They.
Speaker B:They're only going to be worn in your house so you don't need to freak out.
Speaker B:And then I would take them.
Speaker B:I would put them on when I came in the door.
Speaker A:Several years of New York living will do that to you.
Speaker A:You don't.
Speaker A:You step in stuff in New York that you don't want walking around your house.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That ruined me forever.
Speaker B:I will say I do have house shoes for the winter in Minnesota, though, because, you know.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:You know, because you get.
Speaker B:Sometimes you have to take those shoes off because there's just so much ice and salt and everything.
Speaker B:Snow on the bottom of them.
Speaker B:But I love that.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Such a journey.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:All right, now you get a little insight into me, folks.
Speaker B:All right, now you get a little insight into Ann.
Speaker B:The trailer for White Lotus Season 3 debuted this week, and from the looks of it, Ann, yoga is very much front and center.
Speaker B:As someone that loves yoga and goes multiple times a week, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:What is what.
Speaker B:I've never asked you this.
Speaker B:What is your favorite yoga pose?
Speaker A:My favorite yoga pose is not really a pose.
Speaker A:It's a scorpion stretch.
Speaker A:So it's like you lay on your stomach, you thread your.
Speaker A:Your hand through your other hand, and then you roll back, so you kind of are, like, splayed out.
Speaker A:And it just.
Speaker A:It's a really good back and shoulder stretch for those old bones that these days you just.
Speaker A:I do it every morning almost when I wake up so I can, you know, not fall over when I get out of bed, but school scorpion stress.
Speaker A:So you should give it a try.
Speaker B:So you.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:So I should take from that.
Speaker B:You like a good splay?
Speaker B:You like.
Speaker B:You like a good.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:You like to be played?
Speaker A:Yeah, I mean, I'm splayed.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker A:That's kind of.
Speaker A:I splay all day.
Speaker A:That's pretty much my.
Speaker A:My MO Is just falling over somewhere.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's.
Speaker A:And splaying.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's it.
Speaker B:Play all day and rose.
Speaker B:All day.
Speaker A:All day, all day.
Speaker B:Those are the two phrases that captured my business part of very well.
