Be careful what you wish for in a fountain.

The Change-Up
6.2

Overview

Dave has the wife, the kids, the corner office, and absolutely no sleep. Mitch has a bare fridge, zero responsibilities, and all the freedom in the world. Each one is convinced the other has it better. After a drunken confession beside a fountain, a lightning strike settles the argument in the most literal way possible: they swap bodies. Now both men have roughly 48 hours to keep each other's lives from completely unraveling before they find a way back.
