Viori just hit a $5.5 billion evaluation, thanks to their latest $825 million funding round.
Speaker AIf Lululemon and Viori were side by side in the mall, which one are you going to first?
Speaker BOh, I, I think you're the same on this one, but I'm curious.
Speaker BI want to hear what you think, too, but for me, it's Lululemon.
Speaker BLike, yeah, the, the Fury stuff does not fit my tall torso.
Speaker BBody very well.
Speaker BAnd, you know, it just, it just.
Speaker ADoesn'T More than viewers needed to know.
Speaker ABut, yes, I think I'm general.
Speaker BThat's a problem for me.
Speaker BBut you are, too.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BYeah, generally speaking, I have problems with everything that fits me, but Lululemon does it better than, than Vi for me.
Speaker BBut what about you?
Speaker BYou're the same way.
Speaker ANo, I, I, I'm still, I'm still kind of a Lululemon loyalist.
Speaker AI've got a few Vori products that are very nice, but I also, I don't know.
Speaker AIt's, it's not.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AI don't know.
Speaker AI'm, I'm gonna still go to Lulu first.
Speaker ASorry, Vi.
Speaker AYeah, I do.
Speaker AYou're good.
Speaker AYou're good.
Speaker BYou still, you can still get a sizable chunk of the market.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BAnd a raccoon was recently seen falling from the ceiling at LaGuardia Airport.
Speaker BWhere does a falling raccoon rank in terms of the worst things you have encountered at the most godforsaken place on Earth, aka the LaGuardia Airport?
Speaker AYou know, I feel really bad when I read this headline because LaGuardia has done such a good job cleaning itself.
Speaker AThey have.
Speaker BIn fairness, they have.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker AThey are just.
Speaker AIt's like unrecognized.
Speaker BIt's a great airport now.
Speaker AAirports gotten so much better.
Speaker ABut, I mean, I saw somebody that was.
Speaker AYeah, I.
Speaker AThe bathrooms at LaGuardia.
Speaker AYou never know what you're going to find in there.
Speaker AYou think Vegas is bad, but I've seen, I've seen things that I will never unsee in the bathroom at LaGuardia Airport.
Speaker ASo I'm going to say that's, that's worse than a raccoon falling from the sky.
Speaker AAlthough that would be very, very bad.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker BWorst bathrooms worth worst bathrooms in airports real quick.
Speaker BAnd rankings.
Speaker BOne is LaGuardia.
Speaker BTwo is Dallas.
Speaker BLove.
Speaker AThree.
Speaker BLove Las Vegas.
Speaker BThat.
Speaker BThat's my top three worst bathroom airport.
Speaker AI think this might have to be a breakout session where we standalone show because it is different for the women.
Speaker AI think there are definitely.
Speaker BOh, right.
Speaker AThere are definitely different experiences for women in bathrooms.
Speaker AI would say Amsterdam, worst airport or sorry, worst bathrooms in the entire.
Speaker BYeah, you're bringing international into this, into this question now.
Speaker BOh my God.
Speaker AWe're going to put you in a hot steamy dungeon in the basement and there's only three stalls, so good luck.
Speaker AAnd everybody just got off an eight hour flight.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker AAll right, Chris, question number three.
Speaker AGot to give a shout out to our omnistar, Allison Peterson, who just opened Carter's first ever 7,000 square foot flagship store in Atlanta last week.
Speaker AComplete with a mother's lounge for nursing moms, a gift wrapping area, a gift shop and a toddler tested playhouse for independent play while their adults shop.
Speaker AGiven your background and baby, what's the one thing that you would ask Alison to test in this new flagship store?
Speaker AChris?
Speaker BOh man, this was a, this was hard because I, you know, it sounds like it's got everything that you would generally expect.
Speaker BYou know what I came up with though was because there's a lot of products that people probably want to return off the registry, particularly from Carter's.
Speaker BI like the idea that Nikki Barrett shared with us in terms of like a mobile stood associate return process that like she, I think it was at North Face, right, And that that's where she's, where they were doing that.
Speaker BAnd I think that, yeah, that that could be a good idea because the idea that Nikki shared with us was like, like, right.
Speaker BPeople get their return taken care of right as they enter and then they're, they have that cash in hand and they're going to spend more with you as well.
Speaker BSo that was my idea.
Speaker AThat's a great idea.
Speaker APlus like being able to as a new parent too, to like be able to walk up to a mom and just be like, what do you need?
Speaker ATurn.
Speaker ALet me take it from your stroller here.
Speaker AIs that your, you know, here's your card or whatever or like your, the mom's, you know, trying to nurse the baby or whatever, like watch the toddler.
Speaker ALike that is, that's a great idea.
Speaker AI love it.
Speaker ASo hopefully, hopefully Allison's listening.
Speaker BThat's a great idea.
Speaker BListening.
Speaker BAll right, all right, cool.
Speaker BWell, and last one, A new AI.
Speaker BThis is great.
Speaker BA new AI startup is reportedly claiming it can authenticate sneakers by their smell.
Speaker BAnd if you were a sneaker sommelier, what notes or aroma would one find in your pre worn Nikes?
Speaker AOh, well, actually this.
Speaker AI had to smell my sneakers recently.
Speaker ADon't ask why this happened, but I was like, I smell lavender.
Speaker BYou had to smell your sneakers.
Speaker AWell, I was like.
Speaker BYou smelled lavender?
Speaker AYes, I smelled lavender because the.
Speaker ASo at yoga, they put, like, essential oils, and I was like, I'm smelling.
Speaker AI have a.
Speaker AI have a sensitivity to lavender.
Speaker AAnd there was lavender on the.
Speaker AOn, like, the yoga mats, and it seeped into my sneakers, so my sneakers would smell like lavender.
Speaker AThat's what they would smell.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker BThey would smell like lavender.
Speaker BI had no idea.
Speaker BI thought I'd see.
Speaker BI thought you'd be, like, more oaky or cassis, you know, going with the.
Speaker BWith the.
Speaker BWith the wine stuff that you hear all the time.
Speaker AOh, I see, like tennis balls or whatever.
Speaker ALike tennis balls and fresh cut grass.
Speaker BYeah, right.
Speaker BThere you go.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker BAsphalt.
Speaker AAsphalt.
Speaker ANo, no, I.
Speaker AYeah, lavender.
Speaker AWhich is weird.
Speaker ASo I have.
Speaker AThis is like, a crazy thing, but I used to use a lavender room or, like, cleaner spray and when my kid was sick when he was little, and so it always reminds me of vomit.
Speaker ASo I cannot smell lavender because I equate that smell to vomit.
Speaker ASo just in case anybody cares and wants to get deep into the depths of why I can't stand lavender, it's because it covers up the smell of vomit to me, so.
Speaker AOh, that's not a good.
Speaker ANot a.
Speaker BSo you're not down with the lavender latte then, either?
Speaker BAnd that's why.
Speaker AOh, God.
Speaker AThat's like drinking vomit to me.
Speaker ANo.
Speaker ACan't do lavender.
Speaker ALove.
Speaker ALove and appreciate that.
Speaker AIt's so good for so many people and comforting.
Speaker AIt makes me think of fresh barf.
Speaker AA fresh barf.
Speaker AAs.
Speaker AAs they said on SNL last week.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BBut, you know, and in closing.
Speaker BAnd one thing I do want to share, I went to Starbucks this week, you know, thinking of lavender lattes.
Speaker A20 minutes.
Speaker BIt took me 20 minutes to get my drink.
Speaker B20 minutes from the time I ordered it to when it was in hand.
Speaker AYou need to send Brian Nichols.
Speaker AYou need to send him a direct message about that experience.
Speaker AI want to hear.
Speaker AI bet he'll.
Speaker ABet he'll get back to you.
Speaker B22 minutes.
Speaker BThat's just crazy.
Speaker BThat's just too long.
