Question one goes to you, Chris Kreitz.

Chris Kreitz

Retail Brew recently released their list of the best horror movies set inside retail destinations.

Chris Kreitz

What is the best movie shot in a retail location?

Chris Kreitz

And I'll give you extra credit if it's horror or Halloween related.

Anne

I'm going to.

Anne

Thank you, Anne.

Anne

I'm going to decline the extra credit and go.

Anne

I'm going to lower the bar here.

Chris Kreitz

That's just fine.

Chris Kreitz

That's just fine.

Chris Kreitz

That's just fine.

Anne

I'm going to go with Bad Santa, the classic retail Santa.

Anne

And then I'll add a fun fact to try and get back some of the extra credit that I.

Chris Kreitz

Okay, okay, we're accepting.

Anne

We're accepting Billy Bob Thornton actually was drunk on set during that scene to play up the role of being the drunken Santa in the department store.

Anne

So.

Chris Kreitz

Oh, my God.

Anne

Some points back, how do we sign.

Chris Kreitz

Up for that job?

Lakshman

Yeah, right.

Chris Kreitz

That would be about that movie in a while.

Lakshman

Yeah.

Lakshman

I gotta find a quote from that movie for our newsletter.

Lakshman

All right, Chris, back to you.

Lakshman

Doritos on Monday released its first ad, filmed in space, and it is filled with the sound of astronauts crunching down on the brand's first ever chips to leave the planet.

Lakshman

If you were to take one food into space with you, what would it be?

Anne

That's a good question.

Anne

I'm gonna go.

Anne

There's a new chip that's very similar to Doritos.

Anne

They're called Quest Protein chips.

Anne

They're made out of whey protein.

Anne

It's 20 grams of protein, 140 calories.

Anne

It tastes just like a Dorito.

Anne

They're fantastic.

Anne

Yeah.

Anne

Really good.

Anne

You have to check them out.

Chris Kreitz

All right, I'm going to try it.

Chris Kreitz

I don't know.

Chris Kreitz

I don't know if I can believe that a whey protein chip is going to give me the satisfaction of Doritos.

Chris Kreitz

But I'll give it a shot.

Speaker D

Hold, hold on.

Lakshman

And of all the food, that's what you take into space with you, Chris.

Anne

They're really good.

Lakshman

You love them that much?

Lakshman

That's funny because my answer is Doritos too.

Lakshman

So.

Lakshman

Okay, I can buy that.

Lakshman

I guess if they're that good, I got to try them.

Lakshman

Yeah.

Anne

All right.

Chris Kreitz

All right, Lakshman, we're going to you now.

Chris Kreitz

It's almost Halloween.

Chris Kreitz

Very simple.

Chris Kreitz

Rank your top three Halloween candies.

Speaker D

Oh, boy.

Speaker D

Of course, you know, there is Sour Patch, there is Skittles, there is M.

Speaker D

And M is my personal favorite of mine is Hershey's Kisses, so.

Chris Kreitz

Hershey's Kisses.

Speaker D

Yes.

Lakshman

Wow.

Chris Kreitz

Okay, that's number one.

Chris Kreitz

What's two and three?

Chris Kreitz

Sour Patch Kids and Skittles.

Speaker D

And the second would be.

Speaker D

Yeah, second would be Skittles and third would be, you know, probably Sour Patch.

Speaker D

Yeah.

Chris Kreitz

Oh my God.

Chris Kreitz

I love.

Chris Kreitz

I'm with you on Sour Patch.

Chris Kreitz

I don't know about the Hershey Kiss, though, man.

Lakshman

Wow, that's so random.

Lakshman

One of those is not like the other two.

Lakshman

That's so crazy.

Lakshman

That Hershey Kiss leads the pack.

Lakshman

All right, Last one.

Lakshman

Lakshman.

Lakshman

LinkedIn lunatics A 670,000 member Reddit community devoted to, quote, insufferable LinkedIn content has made it.

Lakshman

Made it its mission to poke fun at insufferable LinkedIn posts that have no business being shared on a business to business networking site.

Lakshman

What is the most audacious post you recall reading online?

Lakshman

LinkedIn that you wish was not on the platform?

Speaker D

Yeah, LinkedIn is like kitchen sink.

Speaker D

I say if you don't pay attention to it, it gets like really nasty in a few, in a few weeks.

Speaker D

So you have to continuously keep cleaning it and maintaining it.

Speaker D

But for me, I think, you know, all of the advertisements around, you know, hey, here are the new products, et cetera, those are fine, but teaching life lessons through memes, that is one that probably crosses the boundary for me.

Lakshman

Got it?

Lakshman

Yes, got it.

Lakshman

Yes.

Chris Kreitz

I feel like Lakshman has an example in mind that I'd love him to share with us.

Speaker D

Well, there is this one meme where there was the office and I think they had something along the lines of how teamwork is dreamwork or something like that, which was completely weird.

Speaker D

And using that particular frame to help explain.

Speaker D

Well, it's like weird because we know the dysfunctions of office, so let's.

Speaker D

Yeah, we love both, but they have to live in separate universes.

Lakshman

Yeah, 100%.

Lakshman

Yeah, that.

Lakshman

That's always my pet peeve too is the pithy like, sayings that come out on LinkedIn which like apply to every leadership situation and anywhere in the world.

Lakshman

That always drives me nuts too.

Lakshman

All right, well, thanks you both.
