Lightning Round: Banana Water, Dirty Sodas & Golden Globes | Fast Five Shorts

Let's go to the lightning round.

Chris.

According to a Grocery dive article on 2026 grocery trends and Nestle USA Vice President of Commercial Excellence.

Weird.

Is winning in the grocery aisle.

So, Chris, I want to know what's the wackiest new product that you've tried at the grocery store as of late?

Oh, and that's easy.

Banana water.

Yeah, banana water.

I'm a big fan of the banana in general, and I like banana Shakespeare.

Like a good, just banana.

I very.

I very, you know, very specific requirements of my bananas.

You know, they.

I like them more on the greenish side than the, like, you know, the other side of it, which I think probably most people do.

But, yeah, big fan of the banana.

And I tried some banana water.

It's kind of like a take on coconut water.

It's pretty good, pretty tasty.

Okay.

Okay.

So it's in a container, like coconut water.

So it's like, got the, like, carbonated.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Oh, it's carbonated?

Yeah.

Carbonated?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

It's like a can of coconut water you open up.

Carbonated.

Yeah, it's good.

It's a Jerry's in the.

In the freezer case next to the.

So there's bubbles in it, like carbonated.

Like there.

Like there's bubbles in the water?

Yeah.

I mean, it tastes like an Olipop or something like that.

Yeah, I know.

Banana water.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've never had carbonated coconut water before, so.

Okay.

Yeah, it's right next to the.

The food service area in our local grocery store.

Yeah.

Try it out.

Okay.

It's worth a dabble.

And it's worth a dabble in that banana.

All right.

The creator of Dilbert, Scott Adams, unfortunately died this week.

How should we pay homage?

I. I'm going to put this back on you.

I don't really know.

I mean, I. I know the Dilbert cartoon, but I don't.

I've never really read it or followed it.

He's like an Office Space kind of character.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was like.

Yeah, like a cartoon on office politics.

Yeah.

Okay.

How should we pay them?

What would you do?

If I was doing something, I think I'd maybe make a little caricature drawing of myself because I think, you know, that's kind of how it originated, too.

So that would be my play.

Okay.

You would make a caricature drawing of yourself to pay homage to Dilbert?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, let's go on to question number three.

Dry January is back, and according to several news outlets, so are the sales of dirty sodas and sugary non alcoholic drinks.

In your mind, Chris, what do you think is worse?

A glass of wine or beer?

Like, worse for you?

Let's.

Oh, worse for you.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

What do you think is worse for you?

A glass of wine or beer or a Big gulp sized dirty soda?

Because I have, I take, I take issue with this significantly.

But what is your opinion?

Like, you take issue with the dirty soda trend?

Yeah, I mean, it's a dirty soda, right?

I mean, I mean, beer's not, I mean, beer, beer's definitely not good for you either.

But, you know, wine is debatably good for you.

It's potentially cardio protective.

Although people are coming against that now.

So, like, I think, you know, wine, wine, I think we could probably say is like relatively better for you than the other two.

But I, I don't know, I just, I just can't imagine like a 32 or 64 ounce Big Gulp sized dirty soda compared to a 6 ounce glass of wine.

Like, to me, it's like, I think.

Anything with high fructose corn syrup or one of the artificial and sweet sweeteners has to be at the bottom of that list.

I got to think.

But.

All right.

And Nikki, this is a good one.

Nikki Glazier hosted the Golden Globes again this past weekend.

Was her monologue better or worse than her monologue in 2025?

I was working all weekend, so I did not catch her monologue.

I did not catch the Golden Globes.

I still have to watch it.

Um, but she was really, I mean, she did an outstanding job last year, so I can't, I can't imagine.

I mean, I don't know.

How do you top that?

Do people expect to, like, was it more expected?

Did you see it?

Like, what did, what was your thought on that?

Yeah, I actually, I thought, I thought she did as well, if not better, just because the bar was so high last year.

Yeah, yeah.

And she, she did, I thought, equally well.

And so, you know, I'd give her major kudos and props.

Yeah.

And she, and she took Leo to task in a pretty fun way, so.
