Lightning Round | Burritos, "Best Of" White Lotus Awards, and Tariff Product Hoarding

All right, let's go to the lightning round.

Chris, question number one.

Customers have been stockpiling even more items as of late that may be impacted by the latest.

Latest tariffs that President Trump announced last week.

Chris, is there an item that you're keen to stock up on?

Oh, well, it's not toilet paper ad.

Because as you know, as you.

As you let the listeners in on the little secret.

I travel with my own, so I'm very.

I'm feeling very well stocked up on that.

But, you know, I guess I would say I don't really have anything that comes to mind.

For me, I think it would be my.

My dream car purchase, which would be a Mercedes G wagon.

I would love to stock up on those.

You better get that now.

Yeah, you better get that now.

No, no.

Like French wine or like maple syrup from Canada.

You don't need to.

Nothing like that.

I mean.

Yes, I guess.

Yeah.

Anyone wants to send me those?

Yeah, for sure.

I'd stock up on all those.

But, you know, I'm not a very consumptive person given the fact that we do a retail podcast in general.

But.

All right, number two, a biotech company this week said that it has bred three animals with key physical features of the direwolf, a species that has been extinct for more than 1200 years.

If you could bring back 12,000 years.

Oh, my God, that's a long time.

Yeah.

Wow.

Thank you for that correction, too.

That's an important point.

If you could bring back one other species from extinction, what would it be?

Well, clearly the dire wolf is an important one to me because I know exactly how long it's been extinct for.

But I have to say, dinosaurs.

You got to bring back a dinosaur.

Like, maybe not a giant.

I want to go to full on Jurassic Park.

That's what you want?

Hell, yeah, I do.

I do.

I mean, wouldn't you want to see.

I got to get off this world, man.

But would you want to see a dinosaur in real life?

Like, I just want one.

And I don't want it to be like a meat eater.

I just want it to be like a big brontosaurus or something.

Like, just so we can understand the pure magnitude of how.

What life must have been like when there's just a brontosaurus in your backyard.

I'm good.

I'm good.

I don't need the Flintstones.

I don't need the Flintstones in my backyard.

And I'm good.

I'm good.

My mind can't take the cognitive load that is.

That's being Heaped upon it right now.

I'm good.

I'm good without dinosaurs in my life.

I think I am.

All right, fair.

Okay.

Well, Chris, we're going to move on to a vacation focused one then.

Okay, good.

Take me away, Cal.

God, take me away way.

Okay.

White Lotus aired its final episode of the season last Sunday.

If you got to hand out.

Not seen yet.

So don't spoil anything with.

I won't.

I'm not gonna spoil it.

I'm not gonna spoil it.

But you need to watch it soon.

If you got to hand out Emmys for the following categories for the cast of White Lotus, who would win them?

I want to know, who did you think was the best actor?

Who is the most hated character, the most loved character?

And which character would you most like to be on a trip at the White Lotus with?

Those are your categories.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Got it.

Got it.

Now, I haven't seen the show, so fans, just give me some grace here because I haven't seen the final show, so.

Especially for the hate question, you know, I think that one's.

Yeah, for sure.

For sure.

If I haven't seen the whole show.

All right, so best actor.

This one might surprise you.

And I'm going with Patrick Schwarzenegger.

I think.

I think he crushed it on that show this year.

I think he was really, really good and very.

A very talented actor.

He showed me a range and depth of emotion that I was surprised to see from him.

Man, old Saxon, he had a lot.

He had a lot of stuff happening in this season.

Absolutely.

I think he did a good job.

Okay.

Yeah, he was good.

I liked him.

Most loved was Parker Posey.

Like, oh, God, Piper.

No, Like, I just love her.

She's.

So we just have to do.

It's a culture.

Yeah.

Most hated.

I think I'd go with Michelle Monahan's character.

I don't remember her name, but the TV actress, I just don't like her.

I think she's Jacqueline.

Yeah, no, Jacqueline.

Yeah.

I think she's just annoying.

Okay.

And if I had to take somebody on a trip with me, I don't know her.

I think it's.

I think her name's Mook.

On the show.

I'm going with the Korean K pop star because, yeah, she's.

She.

She's pretty darn good looking.

I wouldn't mind going on a trip with her.

She.

She would.

She'd be a good travel companion for me.

She seems fun, too.

Like, she kind of.

She's got a little danger to her.

She wants yeah, guy talk to, like, you know, step it up a little bit.

I think she'd be a fun challenging vacation opponent.

So I.

I agree with your categories.

Parker Posey, man, this is going to relaunch her career, though.

I.

I love that for sure.

I don't.

I don't know what a vacation opponent is, but I'm glad I.

I'm glad I get to think about that for the first time, taking an opponent on vacation with me.

All right, last one.

Challenging.

She's gonna challenge me because I need to be challenged.

All right.

National Burrito day was on April 3rd last week, and we were on spring break.

I didn't celebrate it.

I'm curious one, if you did.

But two, what is currently.

We've talked about this before on the podcast, but it's been a number of years since we brought it up again.

What is currently the number one thing that you think screws up a good burrito?

Okay, well, I did not.

I did not celebrate because I was in the least likely burrito place of Vancouver, Canada.

We ate sushi on that day instead of.

But I guess you could have a sushi burrito, but we did not.

Okay.

The biggest thing to mess up a burrito, I think by standby sogginess.

Like, if you have too much liquid in a burrito, that's a problem.

So I think that the solution to.

And the best burritos that I've had, they.

They like, melt the cheese right away on the tortilla and then use that as like a double defense layer to keep all the ingred included.

Yeah.

So that's what I think.

If you're going to make a good burrito, you put the cheese on the bottom and like, let it melt so that it can, like, double protect any of the.

The sogginess from happening from the tomatoes or lettuce or other ingredients.

But yeah, that's my.

Good, good.

Have you changed your stance?

No, my number one is still the loose fold.

I don't like the loose fold, but I think if you bring the loose fold in tandem with the wetness of the burrito, then you've got disaster.

That's like.

That's like almost.

It's like soggy doggy.

That's not working.

Just soggy doggy burrito.

That's just not good for anyone.
