Speaker A

Let's go on to the lightning round.

Speaker A

Question number one.

Speaker A

Tactile activities ranging from writing letters and typewriter clubs to TikTok communities showcasing calligraphy skills and wax seals are giving retro writing instruments a resurgence.

Speaker A

Chris, when was the last time you penned a letter?

Speaker B

Oh, man.

Speaker A

Or typed, I guess, I mean like.

Speaker B

No, like pen a letter.

Speaker B

Like wrote a letter.

Speaker B

Yeah, no, this is a great story.

Speaker B

I don't know if I told you this story.

Speaker B

I probably have, but Prusa Ella is probably going to want to ask me some follow up questions on this one too.

Speaker B

But I remember it vividly.

Speaker B

And the last letter I ever wrote.

Speaker B

It was summer 1995.

Speaker B

I was abroad in a study abroad in Spain and I wrote said letter to a girl that I asked out in my high school graduation speech in front of everyone.

Speaker B

Her name was Carrie Culac.

Speaker B

Two K's.

Speaker B

As you know, I'm a big fan of alliteration.

Speaker B

But sadly, sadly.

Speaker B

And there, there was, there was no spark.

Speaker B

There was no spark.

Speaker B

Got home, never worked out.

Speaker A

Because you asked her out in front of your entire graduating class.

Speaker A

Shocker.

Speaker A

That's like, no, no, no.

Speaker A

No embarrassment there.

Speaker A

Or having to expose your.

Speaker B

Oh, it's so great.

Speaker B

It's so great.

Speaker B

I came.

Speaker B

I get, you know, everyone's milling around.

Speaker B

We're at the stadium, everyone's there.

Speaker B

The, you know, everyone's like after the ceremony, everyone's like on the field, they're, you know, high five and hugging each other.

Speaker B

And her mom comes up to me, she's like, you can date my daughter anytime, Chris.

Speaker B

And I was like, okay, sweet.

Speaker B

And yeah, it didn't work out.

Speaker B

Makes for a great story though.

Speaker B

But yeah, it was, it was.

Speaker B

But yeah, that was the last letter I ever wrote.

Speaker B

And not surprisingly, unrequited love stories.

Speaker B

All right, number two, Brooklyn Beckham said Victoria Beckham, AKA Posh Spice, quote, hijacked his first dance at his wedding.

Speaker A

Whoa.

Speaker B

Which was in front of 500 guests at their Palm Beach, Florida nuptials in 2022.

Speaker B

He said Mark Anthony called him to the stage at the time when he was scheduled to dance with his wife.

Speaker B

And instead Victorio was waiting for him at the stage for a dance.

Speaker B

How upset would you be if your mother in law got the first dance?

Speaker A

I don't know.

Speaker A

I mean, I'm on my, I like, it's my, gonna be my 10th anniversary this year and I, I, we, we were all about everybody dancing.

Speaker A

Like, I think that, that there should not be like, we should just do away with the first dance.

Speaker A

So I think Everybody should be dancing at one time.

Speaker A

I don't think it should be with a mother in law.

Speaker A

I don't know that it should be with a couple, I think, or with a mother in this case.

Speaker A

But I. I think, like, let's just get do away with first dance.

Speaker A

Everybody jump in.

Speaker A

Just get the party going right away.

Speaker A

It's like when you sit and people sing Happy birthday to you, and you just have to look at them and the candles, like, it's just awkward.

Speaker A

Why are we doing that?

Speaker A

Just get everybody going.

Speaker A

Stop making people sit around and stare at you and just get out on the dance floor.

Speaker A

Victoria, Brooklyn, the wife.

Speaker A

Everybody get out there and party.

Speaker A

That's my.

Speaker A

That's my thought.

Speaker B

But what if you were in this situation, like, you thought you were getting the first dance with your husband, and then the mom sweeps in to take it.

Speaker B

That would kind of piss you off, wouldn't it?

Speaker A

I don't know.

Speaker A

I think it'd be.

Speaker A

I think she's showing who she is, so I don't think I need to do anything.

Speaker A

I think people show who they are on their own.

Speaker A

And if she did that, that.

Speaker A

Go ahead.

Speaker A

You want.

Speaker A

You can.

Speaker A

You can go.

Speaker A

Victoria, you just.

Speaker A

You want it to be about you, go for it.

Speaker A

I will.

Speaker A

I think everybody, and clearly the media is feeling the same way too, in response to this story.

Speaker B

Probably nobody's surprised that she did that, actually.

Speaker A

Yeah, right.

Speaker B

Okay.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

Italian fashion designer Valentino died at age 933 this past week.

Speaker A

If your wardrobe, Chris, was outfitted in one designer brand, which one would you choose?

Speaker B

Does Hugo Boss count?

Speaker B

I think it does, right?

Speaker B

Yeah, Yeah, I think I picked that.

Speaker B

I was talking.

Speaker B

Who was I talking to last week at nrf?

Speaker B

They said Hugo Boss fits them.

Speaker B

I was like, yeah, it does.

Speaker A

Me too.

Speaker B

I think I need to give them another try.

Speaker B

So, yeah, that would be my answer.

Speaker B

All right, and last one.

Speaker B

Magic Mike Live is coming to Broadway, courtesy of Channing Tatum.

Speaker B

Do you already have tickets for 2027 NRF?

Speaker B

Like, what are you thinking?

Speaker B

Magic Mike Live?

Speaker B

Is that gonna hit your.

Speaker B

Is that gonna hit your travel itinerary next year?

Speaker A

I don't understand how they're making this a Broadway play.

Speaker A

Like, oh, you don't?

Speaker A

Is it.

Speaker A

No.

Speaker A

Like, is it Magic Mike?

Speaker A

Like, is it the Vegas show?

Speaker A

Is it the movie version?

Speaker A

Like, I don't know.

Speaker A

This is one that.

Speaker A

I mean, I've got five or six Broadway shows ahead of this one.

Speaker A

I think that I'd like to see before Magic Mike takes the stage on Broadway.

Speaker A

Just.

Speaker A

I don't know.

Speaker A

You're talking about moves of desperation in the earlier about chatgpt and OpenAI.

Speaker A

I think this is a move of desperation for Broadway, especially if it's just the Magic Mike version.

Speaker A

That's like the Vegas show Magic Mike Live.
