Speaker A:

Let's go to the lightning round.

Speaker A:

Ben, A tattoo artist inked a portrait of Danny DeVito on his.

Speaker A:

His or her.

Speaker A:

It doesn't say.

Speaker A:

On a client's big toe.

Speaker A:

Danny DeVito on your big toe.

Speaker A:

Ben.

Speaker A:

Ben, do you have any tattoos?

Speaker A:

And if not, and you were ever to get one, what would you get?

Speaker B:

I have literally no idea how we've gone from Aldi's corporate structure to Danny DeVito tattoos.

Speaker B:

No, Chris, I did not.

Speaker A:

You did not.

Speaker A:

I did think you did, which is why I asked you the second part.

Speaker A:

And I think.

Speaker B:

I think my window for Tatisse, who's looking good, is probably closed.

Speaker A:

Yeah, right, right, right.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

The saggy arms and everything.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

Right, moving on.

Speaker A:

Chris.

Speaker B:

Earlier this week, it was announced that after 15 years in Roel and having added a cool 3 1/2 trillion dollars.

Speaker B:

That's trillion with a T. To its market capitalization, Tim Cook is going to step down as Apple CEO.

Speaker B:

Chris, what is the one Apple product you could not live without?

Speaker A:

It's got to be my phone, right?

Speaker A:

It's gotta be your phone, too, right?

Speaker B:

It's gotta be the iPhone.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Although I couldn't even go off a MacBook now, either.

Speaker A:

I don't think, you know, if I had to.

Speaker B:

And I couldn't probably surrender my AirPods either.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Oh, really?

Speaker A:

See, I'm not a big.

Speaker A:

I'm not a big AirPod guy.

Speaker A:

I love my AirPods.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Really?

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

All right, all right, all right.

Speaker A:

Next one.

Speaker A:

Eddie Murphy received a lifetime achievement award by the American Film Institute last week.

Speaker A:

Ben.

Speaker A:

Ben, what is your Mount Rushmore of Eddie Murphy movies?

Speaker A:

And if you don't know what Mount Rushmore is, Ben, it's the big statue of four presidents in South Dakota.

Speaker A:

So four favorite Eddie Murphy movies.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Thank you very much, Chris.

Speaker B:

I do know what Matt.

Speaker A:

Mushroom is one.

Speaker A:

It's gotta be.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna go right back.

Speaker B:

Beverly Hills Cop.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

But the original.

Speaker A:

Gotta be the original.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley.

Speaker B:

Brilliant.

Speaker A:

Okay, just.

Speaker A:

That's just one.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that's just one.

Speaker A:

Just give me one.

Speaker A:

All right, all right.

Speaker A:

Well, look, when you've got something that.

Speaker B:

High, you don't need to go out anywhere.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

It's just one marble.

Speaker A:

Eddie Murphy.

Speaker A:

Axel Foley stands above everyone.

Speaker B:

One single person.

Speaker A:

I don't even know if it's marble.

Speaker A:

I don't know what Mount Rushmore.

Speaker A:

It's granite, I think, but anyway.

Speaker A:

All right, all right.

Speaker B:

Gone.

Speaker A:

Chris.

Speaker B:

So I understand the next stop in the Walton World Tour is.

Speaker B:

Is Berlin.

Speaker A:

Yes, it is.

Speaker A:

Walton World Tour.

Speaker A:

That's great.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

What is your favorite German food?

Speaker A:

Oh, man.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker A:

I like a good schnitzel.

Speaker B:

Nice.

Speaker A:

I do.

Speaker A:

I do like a good schnitzel.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I'm actually looking forward to getting some schnitzel.

Speaker A:

And does beer count as a food?

Speaker A:

Because I like the beer gardens over there.

Speaker B:

The big one's.

Speaker B:

Very good.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

Food and drink, I guess.

Very good.
