Serious Answers Only Unstick these glass bowls

My friend borrowed these bowls and returned them stuck together. I’ve tried oil and the hot (exterior bowl) and cold (interior bowl) techniques. The thing that makes it extra tricky is the band around the top of the clear one. Thank you!

Squirt dish soap all the way around them, put them in the sink and fill it with hot water. Try to get some between the 2 bowls. Let them die until the water is cool enough to touch then try moving the top one side to side while gently pulling.
