Transcript
All right, Chris, let's go to the lightning round.
Speaker A:We're talking pizza again.
Speaker A:Pizza Hut is bringing back the summer book it program, which sparks so much nostalgia for me.
Speaker B:Oh, wow.
Speaker A:Love to book it.
Speaker A:Did you part you.
Speaker A:Did you participate as a kid in Arizona?
Speaker A:It doesn't sound like you did, but if you did, what did you get on your personal pan pizza?
Speaker B:No, we didn't.
Speaker B:We didn't have that in Arizona.
Speaker B:At least.
Speaker A:Is this a Midwestern thing?
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I mean, I went to a Catholic school and we only got pizza was from some local dude who we were probably helping launder money, you know, in reality.
Speaker B:And you know, because, like, God knows what he was doing.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker B:But I mean, if I were to get a personal pan pizza, I'm going.
Speaker B:I'm going as close to four meats as I can get.
Speaker B:And starting with the big two, sausage and pepperoni.
Speaker A:You know that you were putting money in Sammy Pepperoni Pizza's pocket.
Speaker A:You were.
Speaker A:You're not con.
Speaker A:There.
Speaker A:There's no pizza.
Speaker B:Oh, you know, there was some kickback going on there.
Speaker B:Like the local pizza guys giving pizza to all the.
Speaker B:All the school kids every.
Speaker B:Every once a Wednesday.
Speaker B:Yeah, sure.
Speaker A:No book it program there.
Speaker A:Didn't have to read a lot like 16 Boxcar Children books to.
Speaker A:To get that pizza.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker B:Our lady of Mount Carmel.
Speaker B:Yep, Yep.
Speaker B:Shout out to them.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:The HuffPost reported this week that Anthropic's clot opus 4 would result to quote, extremely harmful actions, end quote, to preserve its own existence, including potentially blackmailing engineers for things like extramarital affairs.
Speaker B:How many years do you give us AD Before Terminator the movie becomes a reality?
Speaker A:Okay, you're gonna be really disappointed when you hear this, but I have never watched the entire Terminator movie, so I.
Speaker B:Feel like either one of them, Terminator or T2.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:I know.
Speaker A:I'm really embarrassed.
Speaker A:So I added this to my watch list for this.
Speaker A:For your trip this weekend, for the plane trip, I will try to watch Terminator, but I.
Speaker A:That this is a very concerning thing.
Speaker B:Yeah, right.
Speaker A:I still feel like we have water still, so, like, could.
Speaker A:Is it still going to be able to do that if we pour water on the machine?
Speaker A:I think it is.
Speaker A:I think it still can damage our lives.
Speaker A:So I'm gonna say 10 years.
Speaker B:10 years.
Speaker B:God, I hope it's longer than that.
Speaker B:But my God, that's such a crazy story.
Speaker B:Such a crazy story.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I mean, what would you guess?
Speaker A:Are you taking the over Under, I.
Speaker B:Think I take the over at 10 years.
Speaker B:But I think, you know, if you go 50 to 100 years, I think, yeah, we're there.
Speaker B:We're.
Speaker B:I think, I'm sorry, grandchildren at this point.
Speaker B:And yeah, I am.
Speaker A:All right, question number three, Chris.
Speaker A:The latest TikTok travel hack is a pillowcase.
Speaker A:People are filling pillowcases with clothing and bringing them on board to avoid a fee for carry ons.
Speaker A:Can you imagine just stuffing all your clothes in your pillow and bringing that?
Speaker B:No.
Speaker A:So as we head out for our two week tour, share with the Omni Talk audience what your best travel hack is.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Oh, God.
Speaker B:I'm curious what yours is, aside from sleeping in like an actual body cast when you go into some hotel.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker A:But I have a lot of travel hacks.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I mean, aside from being bringing my own toilet paper like we've talked about on this show, I would also recommend especially for.
Speaker B:For international travel, bringing a lot of high fiber snacks.
Speaker B:Like I just went to the store and loaded up on dried dates and so that's my.
Speaker B:But what, what's one of your travel hacks?
Speaker B:I have no idea.
Speaker A:Slippers.
Speaker A:Bring shoes for the hotel room or ask your hotel for slippers.
Speaker A:A lot of hotels have them.
Speaker A:Think about all the places that those suitcases are rolling the.
Speaker A:That your shoes have traveled in all these cities and you're walking around in your bare feet.
Speaker A:Nasty.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:Number one, I do bring.
Speaker A:Also bring a pillowcase, but for my own reason.
Speaker A:Like I just like to have my own pillowcase when I'm traveling.
Speaker A:In addition to my sleep suit, I bring a candle for the hotel room because sometimes the hotel rooms stink.
Speaker A:So I have a little travel candle.
Speaker A:I mean, so many things I could.
Speaker A:The list could keep going on.
Speaker A:I have, I just have become a very seasoned traveler at this.
Speaker B:No, you have.
Speaker B:Yeah, you have.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:You could, you could use a suitcase just for your hacks is what I take from this.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:It's why I'm over £50 every time.
Speaker B:Right, right.
Speaker B:Yes, you are.
Speaker B:You're very.
Speaker B:You're always scared.
Speaker B:The line.
Speaker B:All right, last one and game five of the T Wolves versus the Thunder tonight.
Speaker B:Who do you got?
Speaker A:Ah, T.
Speaker A:Wolves.
Speaker A:Always Wolves in seven.
Speaker A:We're going to go on a three.
Speaker A:Go on a three game run or we won't.
Speaker A:And that's also fine because if they do make it to the playoffs, we're going to be in Europe and I'll be up in the middle of the night watching the Timberwolves games.
Speaker A:So come on, wolves.
Speaker A:Mike, I love you.
Speaker B:Not a chance in hell.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker B:And I'm going to go out on a hot take here, too.
Speaker B:Anthony Edwards is going to become soon one of the most overrated players in the NBA.
Speaker B:That's my prediction.
