A
Let's go on to the lightning round then. All right, question number one. Chris Ninja has been working alongside Babyliss to get their products like espresso and coffee machines added to baby registries. What unconventional product would you have added to your baby registry?
- [00:18]
B
Oh, man. This is where I'm like, feel like I'm giving away my merchandise savvy for free. And, like, actually came up with this idea. And. And I think. I mean, I don't know why this hasn't been done. If I was. If I was a baby registry, I'd call up fanatics and get a partnership with them. Because every dad wants to buy his kid, you know, some onesie. And mom, whatever.
- [00:37]
A
And mom.
- [00:37]
B
And mom. And mom. Yes. And their kid could be a boy. What? You know, whatever. I'm not gonna go that. Down that road. But, you know, everyone wants to buy. Not everyone, but actually, I shouldn't say everyone. Large, majority of parents will buy their kids a Wednesday onesie to support their local favorite team or whatever.
- [00:56]
A
Yes.
- [00:57]
B
Pro sports team, college team that they happen to root for. So that would be what I would do. So target, if you're listening, go do. Do a deal with F to get fanatics to get a baby gear on your registry.
- [01:08]
A
Awesome.
- [01:10]
B
All right. And in the dating world, people are zip coding a practice that involves dating only people within a particular zip code. Is this a practice you have ever used in the past? I'm curious. And would you advise it now, or do you think it limits love?
- [01:26]
A
No, I think this is a great idea. I think really back in the. Yeah, of course, back in the day when I was doing Tinder when I was single, like, I definitely put like a 20 mile radius. I don't want to be driving an hour like that. It's too much. If. I mean, maybe if you were trying for years and you couldn't find the right person, then sure. But I think zip coding feels like, especially in this day, in this day and age and if you are a single parent with kids, which I was like, you know, no way. I do not have time to drive two hours away to find love. Sorry.
- [01:58]
B
Wow. Well, I got. I got two Omnitok juniors that would totally disagree with that because if I had taken that approach, I would not have met my wife. For those that know, you know, I married, I dated and married my wife long distance. So zip coding, if I had practiced it, my life would be very, very different. So I don't know. I feel like it limits love. That's my take.
- [02:17]
A
Okay. All right, Chris, question Number three, Frank's Red Hot, just released a line of gummy bears. Will you try them? Yes or no?
- [02:27]
B
Absolutely not. I hate gummy bears.
- [02:29]
A
Oh, no. Cinnamon bears.
- [02:31]
B
Nope. I hate them. I hate them. I love Frank's Red Hot, too. Like, I'm all in on Frank's Red Hot, but the. The fact that the gummy bear supersedes that. My distaste for it. No, absolutely not. I take it you would. You would try these.
- [02:44]
A
I mean, I love a cinnamon bear, and I feel like they wouldn't be too far off from a cinnamon bear. So, yes, I would try them. Or like those. Those Tajin covered, like, mango slices. Those are really good too. So I. Yes. I'm all for the spicy. The spicy and sweet together. I'll do it.
- [03:02]
B
Frank's Red Hot isn't at all cinnamony, though. It's more vinegary.
- [03:05]
A
No. Yeah, but I think I could do it like Gummy bear. Oh, I'd try it. I'd give it a shot.
- [03:12]
B
Try it. Oh, my God. I don't. No. Not. Not. Not touching my palate and. All right, last one. Kroger had to recall two varieties of deli pasta salads because of possible listeria contamination. Rank the following salads you would eat in order of preference at a summer barbecue. Pasta salad, egg salad, and potato salad. One through three. Which ones would you most likely eat?
- [03:37]
A
I would not eat any of these. I'm not a salad person at a barbecue because that. It just grosses me out. But if I had to, I would do pasta, potato and egg, probably, and in that order. Would you eat it? Would you eat. No, they're just out in the sun and people touched them and licked the spoons. I just know.
- [03:59]
B
Does your answer change if you're not at a barbecue? What if you just happen to be, like, shopping and putting them in your fridge at home? Okay, what's that answer?
- [04:07]
A
So that answer would probably be egg potato pasta.
- [04:12]
B
Okay. The reverse order, potato, egg pasta.
- [04:15]
A
Yeah. I feel like it's. Yeah. The. The heat and summer barbecue with all the mayonnaise base and all of those things. No, thank you. It's. It's a recipe for disaster.
- [04:26]
B
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Do you like. Do you like a yellow potato salad or a white potato salad?
- [04:31]
A
Oh, I do either. I'm not, like, a huge potato salad person, so I'm. I don't know. Do you care? Do you have a preference?
- [04:40]
B
I like a little. Definitely like some egg in my potato salad. You know, like the potato salads that aren't very eggy. Not my thing.
- [04:46]
A
Okay, so, like, mustard based. Like, you want the potato salad to be, like, mixed with mustard, mayonnaise, and the egg yolks so that it's like a yellow hue?
- [04:55]
B
I think so, Yeah. A yellow hue. A yellow hue always works better for me, I think.
- [05:00]
A
Okay.
- [05:00]
B
Gives me the confidence that it's in the range of things that I want.
- [05:03]
A
Yeah, Fair. Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay. Good to know in case you want to buy crisp potato salad.
- [05:09]
B
Yeah, yeah. You know, please send them my way. I love a good potato salad.
