Topic: Hotel Bathrooms

The discussion shifts to the "cookie-cutter" nature of boutique hotels popularized by Ian Schrager, focusing on dark hallways and minimalist room designs. Specific complaints are made regarding impractical bathroom fixtures, such as square sinks and "salad bowl" basins that cause splashing, as well as the lack of traditional room numbers in favor of long-form written text.

The hosts mock modern architectural trends, specifically "vessel" sinks that resemble salad bowls glued to granite countertops. Adam Curry describes a stay at the Sanderson Hotel in London, which featured a giant marble egg in the middle of the room and impractical bathroom fixtures. They criticize these designs for being difficult to clean and prone to splashing users.
