No one in New York has wrinkles anymore. Because the hot new trend in between work calls? Yes, Botox in the middle of the workday.

The new coffee break in Manhattan is a Botox Blitz. Instead of grabbing a double-digit latte in a coffee shop, you're getting a double-lip injection at a med spot. Did you just put a 3 p.m. Botox Blitz on my calendar? I'm sorry, I'm booked. I'm getting... Co-workers are bonding over this, and does that make it expensive?

Yeah, let's make it a coffee date and cut out a few years. Jack, let's get a free story. Fifteen years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm. They had an idea to cause a cultural storm. It's the best one yet, but the best is a norm. Jack Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice. 50% that's a fat tip.
