Speaker A

Let's close it out and go to the lightning round.

Speaker A

Chris, first question to you.

Speaker A

Six year old Daisy Scout Pim Neal from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is likely to continue and has already set a national record by selling over 117,000 boxes of girl Scout cookies in a single season.

Speaker A

What flavor should you come across?

Speaker A

Little Pim.

Speaker B

Would you buy little Pim?

Speaker B

Shout out to Little Pim.

Speaker B

Is it Lil Pim like L I or apostrophe L like little pimp?

Speaker B

Just no, just little.

Speaker B

All right.

Speaker B

Okay.

Speaker A

Daisy Scout.

Speaker B

Yeah, yeah, she's.

Speaker B

She's selling girl scout cookies.

Speaker B

All right, that's fine.

Speaker B

You gotta wait a few years.

Speaker B

Thin mint and for sure, the thin.

Speaker B

In fact, it's funny you should ask this question because I got a box of thin mints for my birthday on Sunday.

Speaker B

So, yes, Thin mints were.

Speaker B

Thin mints are a huge win in my house.

Speaker B

I put them in the freezer, get them cold, and then I eat them.

Speaker B

So good.

Speaker B

So good.

Speaker B

All right, number two, Survivor is about to enter its 50th season.

Speaker B

What's your relationship with Survivor Survivor?

Speaker B

I don't think I've ever talked to you about this.

Speaker A

I've never been a Survivor watcher.

Speaker A

I know that's sacrilege to some, but

Speaker B

have you watched an episode?

Speaker A

Very first?

Speaker A

Oh, yeah, I watched the video.

Speaker B

I've never seen an episode, but it's

Speaker A

been a really long time.

Speaker A

And I mean, congratulations.

Speaker A

50 seasons is in this day and age is pretty remarkable.

Speaker A

So I guess my relationship is.

Speaker A

I'm, I'm in awe of the.

Speaker A

The continuation of the series.

Speaker A

And yeah, it's 50 seasons.

Speaker A

What show has gone that far?

Speaker A

I don't know.

Speaker A

Another.

Speaker B

So does that mean they're like putting people through like survival seasons twice a year then?

Speaker B

Basically because the show's been on like 25 years, right?

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

Wow.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

Pretty impressive.

Speaker A

All right, Chris, question number three.

Speaker A

Team USA invited FBI director Cash Patel to celebrate in their locking locker room following the team's historic Olympic win over Canada this past week.

Speaker A

If you were on the team USA hockey team, which living famous person would you have invited into the locker room for a post win celebration?

Speaker B

Oh, wow.

Speaker B

That's a.

Speaker B

So living.

Speaker B

So I think he's still alive and he probably was there knowing him, but Michael Ruzioni's gotta be there, you know, from Miracle on Ice.

Speaker B

And then I'd go, Herb Brooks.

Speaker B

Then I was thinking like Herb Brooks, but he's dead.

Speaker B

So I'd go Kurt Russell for the symbolism, you know, because he played Herb Brooks, you know, in the movie, so I'm kind of surprised he wasn't there.

Speaker B

Maybe he was and we just didn't hear about it.

Speaker A

You know, he was doing the Mick Ultra commercials on the side, so he was probably there in Milan shooting those for something else, so.

Speaker B

Oh, was he really?

Speaker B

I missed that.

Speaker B

Mick Ultra.

Speaker B

Matt, Kurt Russell, she'll and Milk Ultra.

Speaker B

All right, this is gonna be a good one.

Speaker B

Robert Carradine of Revenge of the Nerds fame passed away.

Speaker B

Can you give our loyal omnitok fans your best nerd laugh?

Speaker B

Oh, I.

Speaker A

What does he do?

Speaker A

Like.

Speaker A

Like some.

Speaker A

Sounds like he's, like, breathing.

Speaker B

Pretty.

Speaker B

Pretty close.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

Give it a shot.

Speaker B

Pretty close.

Speaker A

No, that's enough.

Speaker A

That's all I'm giving.

Speaker B

That's all we get is one place.

Speaker B

Yeah, you're in a public.

Speaker A

You can do the.

Speaker B

You're in a public place.

Speaker B

All right.
