All right, Chris, let's go to the lightning round.
Speaker AWe're talking pizza again.
Speaker APizza Hut is bringing back the summer book it program, which sparks so much nostalgia for me.
Speaker BOh, wow.

Speaker ADid you participate as a kid in Arizona?
Speaker AIt doesn't sound like you did, but if you did, what did you get on your personal pan pizza?
Speaker BNo, we didn't.
Speaker BWe didn't have that in Arizona.
Speaker BAt least.
Speaker AIs this a Midwestern thing?
Speaker BI.
Speaker BI don't know.
Speaker BI 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 BAnd you know, because, like, God knows what he was doing.
Speaker BBut.
Speaker BBut I mean, if I were to get a personal pan pizza, I'm going.
Speaker BI'm going as close to four meats as I can get.
Speaker BAnd starting with the big two, sausage and pepperoni.
Speaker AYou know that you were putting money in Sammy Pepperoni Pizza's pocket.
Speaker AYou were.
Speaker AYou're not con.
Speaker AThere.
Speaker AThere's no pizza.
Speaker BOh, you know, there was some kickback going on there.
Speaker BLike the local pizza guys giving pizza to all the.
Speaker BAll the school kids every.
Speaker BEvery once a Wednesday.
Speaker BYeah, sure.
Speaker ANo book it program there.
Speaker ADidn't have to read a lot like 16 Boxcar Children books to.
Speaker ATo get that pizza.
Speaker ANo.
Speaker BOur lady of Mount Carmel.
Speaker BYep, Yep.
Speaker BShout out to them.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BThe 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 BHow many years do you give us AD Before Terminator the movie becomes a reality?
Speaker AOkay, you're gonna be really disappointed when you hear this, but I have never watched the entire Terminator movie, so I.
Speaker BFeel like either one of them, Terminator or T2.
Speaker BOh, my God.
Speaker AI know.
Speaker AI'm really embarrassed.
Speaker ASo I added this to my watch list for this.
Speaker AFor your trip this weekend, for the plane trip, I will try to watch Terminator, but I.
Speaker AThat this is a very concerning thing.
Speaker BYeah, right.
Speaker AI still feel like we have water still, so, like, could.
Speaker AIs it still going to be able to do that if we pour water on the machine?
Speaker AI think it is.
Speaker AI think it still can damage our lives.
Speaker ASo I'm gonna say 10 years.
Speaker B10 years.
Speaker BGod, I hope it's longer than that.
Speaker BBut my God, that's such a crazy story.
Speaker BSuch a crazy story.
Speaker AI don't know.
Speaker AI mean, what would you guess?
Speaker AAre you taking the over Under, I.
Speaker BThink I take the over at 10 years.
Speaker BBut I think, you know, if you go 50 to 100 years, I think, yeah, we're there.
Speaker BWe're.
Speaker BI think, I'm sorry, grandchildren at this point.
Speaker BAnd yeah, I am.
Speaker AAll right, question number three, Chris.
Speaker AThe latest TikTok travel hack is a pillowcase.
Speaker APeople are filling pillowcases with clothing and bringing them on board to avoid a fee for carry ons.
Speaker ACan you imagine just stuffing all your clothes in your pillow and bringing that?
Speaker BNo.
Speaker ASo as we head out for our two week tour, share with the Omni Talk audience what your best travel hack is.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker BOh, God.
Speaker BI'm curious what yours is, aside from sleeping in like an actual body cast when you go into some hotel.
Speaker BBut.
Speaker ABut I have a lot of travel hacks.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BI don't know.
Speaker BI mean, aside from being bringing my own toilet paper like we've talked about on this show, I would also recommend especially for.
Speaker BFor international travel, bringing a lot of high fiber snacks.
Speaker BLike I just went to the store and loaded up on dried dates and so that's my.
Speaker BBut what, what's one of your travel hacks?
Speaker BI have no idea.
Speaker ASlippers.
Speaker ABring shoes for the hotel room or ask your hotel for slippers.
Speaker AA lot of hotels have them.
Speaker AThink about all the places that those suitcases are rolling the.
Speaker AThat your shoes have traveled in all these cities and you're walking around in your bare feet.
Speaker ANasty.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker ANumber one, I do bring.
Speaker AAlso bring a pillowcase, but for my own reason.
Speaker ALike I just like to have my own pillowcase when I'm traveling.
Speaker AIn addition to my sleep suit, I bring a candle for the hotel room because sometimes the hotel rooms stink.
Speaker ASo I have a little travel candle.
Speaker AI mean, so many things I could.
Speaker AThe list could keep going on.
Speaker AI have, I just have become a very seasoned traveler at this.
Speaker BNo, you have.
Speaker BYeah, you have.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker BYou could, you could use a suitcase just for your hacks is what I take from this.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker AIt's why I'm over £50 every time.
Speaker BRight, right.
Speaker BYes, you are.
Speaker BYou're very.
Speaker BYou're always scared.
Speaker BThe line.
Speaker BAll right, last one and game five of the T Wolves versus the Thunder tonight.
Speaker BWho do you got?
Speaker AAh, T.
Speaker AWolves.
Speaker AAlways Wolves in seven.
Speaker AWe're going to go on a three.
Speaker AGo on a three game run or we won't.
Speaker AAnd 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 ASo come on, wolves.
Speaker AMike, I love you.
Speaker BNot a chance in hell.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker BAnd I'm going to go out on a hot take here, too.
Speaker BAnthony Edwards is going to become soon one of the most overrated players in the NBA.
Speaker BThat's my prediction.
