Lightning Round: Messi, Ice Cream, Marvel & Aliens?! | Fast Five Shorts

Spain beat Lionel Messi and Argentina 10 in extra time to win the 2026 World cup on Sunday.

Or 1 nil, as they probably say in Europe in what may have been Messi's final World cup match.

What's your one sentence eulogy for Messi's World cup career?

You know, Messi, the God of football, I think he's shown a lot of glory over the years, but this was glorious, but also a bit of a comeback to earth.

A little humanity there at the end.

So maybe not the way we want to see him go out, but the way people go out in general.

Oh, really?

Okay, very nice.

I like how you did that.

I like how you did that.

All right, Brandon, it was national Ice Cream Day this past Sunday.

How did you celebrate?

Yeah, so a little bit of context.

So my family, on Sundays we always have dessert, right?

Like we always have a nice meal.

We always make a homemade dessert and it's summertime and so we made homemade snow cones.

Right?

Homemade snow cones, homemade custard.

You know, it's a, it's a family favorite treat that my kids have, so that's how we celebrate.

You guys make homemade custard?

Yeah, it's actually pretty easy.

It's like four ingredients.

We toss it.

We have like an ice cream maker that, you know, toss it in, freezes, you know, makes it in 20 minutes.

It's actually, it's pretty good.

Oh God.

My wife's going to be listening to this.

She's going to go buy a custard making machine.

Any good?

Any flavors are.

What are your go to flavors?

Yeah, so for, for the snow cone, we actually went to Hanson's a few years ago in New Orleans.

Amazing, right?

So we tried to like replicate some of the food that we really like.

So my go to favor favorite is coconut ginger lime, which sounds really funny, but they're really good.

So give it a try.

Snow cones are awesome for flavor, experimentation.

Yeah, 100%.

Like we, I, I had something very similar like that when I was in Hawaii recently.

All right, Alex, Avengers Doomsday's trailer released on Monday.

What has you geeking out about it the most?

And if you're not a fan, what do you think people are geeking out about it the most?

You know, I am pretty excited about this movie.

The last, the last Marvel movie I saw that.

I was excited about the vendors movie.

I think the smaller, the smaller storylines don't resonate as much.

So there's so much to like see in this movie.

I'm, I'm Actually geeking a little bit about a little teaser of Captain America at the end, and I wasn't quite sure what was going on there.

So I'm intrigued to see what's there and if Iron man shows up at all in the weird sort of same actor playing two roles view that could possibly happen.

I think this could be a spectacular.

Although I gotta admit, the current spectacular I'm working on is going to get tickets to The Odyssey and 70 millimeter IMAX film, which I have to wait a month for.

Tell me about it.

See that.

And hopefully the trailer will be there as well.

Tell me about it.

Yeah, man, I'm feeling the same pain.

I tried to get tickets this week.

I couldn't do it.

So I'm.

I'm not going to see it on imax.

I'm gonna go see it with the family.

Just in the regular old theater experience, which I hope I don't miss out, but maybe I'll go see it at the IMAX later.

But, yeah, that movie is supposed to be amazing.

Yeah, I feel the same way about, about Doomsday too.

I'm pretty geeked up about it.

All right, Brandon, last one.

A meteorite that crashed into a New Jersey home reportedly contained a alien world chemistry.

That's a direct quote.

Alien world chemistry.

What's the closest you have ever come to contact with aliens?

This conversation with Alex and I have excluded, of course.

Yeah, it's a great question.

You know, personally, haven't had a ton of close contact.

Thankfully, though, I had this experience once where I went to a friend's house and they were talking about a UFO sighting and they brought up their phone and it was one of like those really grainy images where you see.

You saw like lights in the sky moving around in strange ways.

Couldn't really tell what was going on, but after that I was like, I don't know what to say to you.

Like, so, really, really weird experience, but that's the closest I've come.

So your contact is looking askew at someone who said they had contact with an alien.

That's the best way to sum that up.

Yeah, yeah, best way.

Best way to sum it up.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah, that's probably what I would do too.

I'd be like, yeah, that's an alien, right?

Yeah, I see that on your phone.

Yeah, it's really clear.

Really clear.

Right, right.
