XYZ | Wonka's Back (and Behind Bars), a Proposal at 1,400 Feet & Audrey Cries at McDonald's

Two daredevils scaled the top of the Empire State Building, unfurled a peace banner, and somehow pulled off a proposal 1,400 feet up. Taika Waititi's new animated Wonka, Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory, throws Wonka in jail. We break down the everyday stuff we somehow never learned to do right, get real about asking for the change you actually want, and Audrey admits which McDonald's ad wrecked her. Plus the dates we never would have shown up to if we'd known they were the first. And the evidence keeps piling up: married life has gone straight to Jordan's head, though today he did finally wear pants.
