Speaker A:
Let's go to the lightning round.
Speaker A:
This is a French edition.
Speaker B:
French edition.
Speaker B:
Okay.
Speaker A:
Croissant.
Speaker B:
Bonjour, mon ami.
Speaker A:
Bonjour.
Speaker A:
Croissant or pain au chocolat.
Speaker B:
Ooh.
Speaker B:
Oh, pan.
Speaker B:
I go with the pain.
Speaker B:
A chocolat.
Speaker A:
I know for sure.
Speaker A:
Which I brought you.
Speaker B:
Yeah.
Speaker B:
Which you brought me, you can have.
Speaker A:
You can have right after this episode.
Speaker B:
I do so well.
Speaker B:
All right, and next one.
Speaker B:
Langoustines or escargot?
Speaker A:
For sure.
Speaker A:
Escargot.
Speaker A:
No way.
Speaker A:
Oh, a thousand times, no way.
Speaker B:
The salty sea versus the dirt of the earth.
Speaker A:
I think langoustines and lobster are very overrated.
Speaker B:
Oh, no, not if you have a good one.
Speaker B:
The best.
Speaker B:
The variability may be higher.
Speaker B:
Well, I don't know.
Speaker B:
I've had some bad snails too, but, like, the best lobster is freaking amazing.
Speaker A:
Oh.
Speaker A:
See?
Speaker A:
I mean, it's okay.
Speaker A:
But I think escargot is, like, such a unique.
Speaker A:
If given your choice, I think somebody could slip, like, a shrimp in there or something, and you would not be able to notice.
Speaker B:
Okay.
Speaker B:
Bonafide legacy.
Speaker B:
No, but not a shrimp.
Speaker B:
But okay.
Speaker A:
Okay.
Speaker A:
I'm just saying, like, I think that you could.
Speaker A:
You could be told, that's a langoustine, and be like, yeah, this is good.
Speaker B:
It's just a big prawn.
Speaker B:
Yeah, yeah, Right.
Speaker A:
Okay.
Speaker A:
Okay.
Speaker A:
Paris Metro or London Tube?
Speaker B:
Oh, God.
Speaker B:
You know the answer to that.
Speaker B:
London tube.
Speaker B:
100%.
Speaker B:
For so many reasons.
Speaker B:
Because it's also the greatest.
Speaker B:
Greatest example of user experience design in the history of the world, because the map is not actually drawn to where the actual tube stops are, which I just find fascinating.
Speaker B:
That's why it was on the back of the Fast5 podcast for so long in the background of our videos.
Speaker A:
I was at dinner last night, and there was a Frenchman who said the difference between the London Tube and the Paris Metro is that if you bump into somebody on the London tube, both people will apologize.
Speaker A:
And if you bump into.
Speaker A:
If I bump into you on the French Metro train, I would be mad at you for being too close to me.
Speaker A:
So that's simply the difference between these two modes of transport.
Speaker B:
Now, I will say I haven't ridden the French Metro as often as the London tube either, so I got to give it more of a try.
Speaker B:
But.
Speaker B:
All right, and last one.
Speaker B:
This one's a good one.
Speaker A:
Yes.
Speaker B:
Napoleon or Genghis Khan?
Speaker B:
Favorite emperor.
Speaker A:
I picked Genghis Khan.
Speaker A:
I like that song more.
Speaker A:
The Mike Snow song, you know, Like, I get a little bit Genghis Khan.
Speaker A:
You'll recognize it.
Speaker A:
I'll play it for you later.
Speaker A:
Yes, That's.
Speaker A:
That's.
Speaker B:
You're going Genghis, huh?
Speaker A:
I'm just going Genghis Khan because I have no.
Speaker A:
I don't have enough historical knowledge on both of their reigns to properly.
Speaker B:
I just read War and Peace, so I was like, it's all about Napoleon, so.
Speaker A:
Okay, so you're picking Napoleon?
Speaker B:
I think I'd pick Napoleon.
Speaker B:
Plus, he's got, like, you know, like, food named after him.
Speaker A:
What about Genghis Khan?
Speaker A:
Like, why would.
Speaker A:
Why wouldn't you pick Genghis Khan?
Speaker B:
I don't know.
Speaker B:
I mean, just probably because he doesn't have any food named after him that I can think of.
