Lightning Round: NBA Playoffs, Star Wars & Cheesy Gordita Crunch | Fast Five Shorts

Let's go the lightning round, Jen.

The era of free refills.

Say it isn't so, but the era of free refills at McDonald's is coming to an end as McDonald's looks to transform its operating model.

Jen, if you were to drink a soda at McDonald's, what soda would you choose and how many refills on average would you make in a given trip?

This is.

I missed this headline.

I didn't know it was over.

So I'm behind.

I would definitely go Coke.

I'm not a diet Coke girl.

I'm going Coke.

And everyone knows McDonald's.

Yeah, McDonald's Coke is different.

Right.

It's never tasted like another Coke.

So I would go Coke, and I would say I'm one of those.

Like, I drink my Coke and I maybe top it off on my way out the door.

If I'm actually eating in restaurant, I'm not a.

You know, I'm not going back for three.

I'm not.

I'm not even probably a two.

Let's call it a one and a half, a full one.

And then maybe I top it off for my drive out of there.

You like, top.

You like to top it off?

You like to top off that high fructose corn syrup as much as just a little bit.

Just a little bit, yes.

And not that I frequent McDonald's regularly, and if we do, it's like we're in a pinch.

Right.

So I'm not sitting in the restaurant to get my refill, but when I let my kids know about this, they're going to be very bummed because that's like, the only time they get more than one pop.

Right.

If the refills are free, it's like, have at it.

Kids have a heyday.

Yeah.

And hence why they're changing their model, too, because they realize that they don't.

Because of my kids.

Yeah.

And your kids.

Because of the Hans.

Their model.

Because of these children I have.

All right, Chris, I have one for you.

So round one of the NBA playoffs just wrapped up.

Who are you rooting for?

And with this many games, I mean, seven game series, they always weird me out.

Right.

Like, why do we have to have so many?

Are you actually watching them or are you just living through the highlights?

I'm not watching them yet.

I usually start watching.

I usually start dialing in, like, in the.

The conference championships and then the finals, and I do like watching those.

I don't really have a horse in the race this year, though.

And I'm not a timberwolves fan for all those Minnesota people, because I just.

I just can't get behind anything that Mark Laurie and Alex Rodriguez do.

So, sorry, guys, but that's the way it is.

So I think I'm probably.

I think I'm probably going for.

Probably going for the Spurs.

I think I like the spurs or maybe Oklahoma City, too.

Actually, I think.

I think I like Oklahoma City.

I don't.

I don't.

I don't.

I don't think Shay Gildas Alexander gets enough credit for just how good of a player he is.

So I'm changing my answer.

I'm going with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Yeah.

Hey, I think he was on the 2K cover, like, a couple years ago.

I think he gets credit.

Yeah.

Yeah, he does.

Yeah, he does, but not as much as I think he deserves.

He's.

He's really, really, really, really good.

All right, chad.

It was May 4th on Monday, and Star wars fans reportedly streamed 33 billion minutes of the franchise in 2025.

What of the Star wars properties did you personally watch in 2025?

All I do is disappoint you when you ask me these types of questions, Chris.

It's like producer Ella and myself both like, you're asking questions about movies, and we're like, yeah, we don't know.

I don't believe I've ever seen a full Star wars movie, like, from start to end.

I know.

That's wild.

I don't know why I don't have anything against it, but, no, I did not partake in May 4th, and I didn't watch any of them in 2025.

Well, this is crazy because you dropped a movie reference earlier in the show that I didn't even know what you were talking about.

The smart home reference.

I have no idea what that is.

That was a Disney movie from, like, the 90s.

I mean, it's, you know, it's just different, Chris.

Yes.

Oh, my God.

Shot through the heart on that one.

Oh, my God.

So you and your family, you're not going to rush out and see the Mandalorian in Grogu when it opens on May 22?

I didn't even know that was happening.

No.

I'm so far removed from Star Wars.

Are you a Star wars fan?

Oh, God, yes.

Oh, God, yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

So did you.

Which ones did you watch in 2025?

All of them.

Okay, so you definitely contributed to that 33 billion minutes.

Yes.

Yes.

10 Billion were, Chris.

Okay, it's probably easier for me to.

Say, which ones did I not watch?

Than which ones did I watch?

You know?

Wow.

Well, like I said, I have nothing against it.

It's just something like somehow I didn't catch the bug.

And the rest of my family must not have either.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, well, something I think people get pop culture.

Some people don't, Jen.

You know, that's just the way it goes.

Yeah, it's not me.

It's okay.

I own it.

But something.

I do love tacos.

So let's talk about that.

So just yesterday it was Cinco de Mayo and it fell on a Taco Tuesday.

So this is very exciting, Chris.

I have to imagine Taco Bell was having a heyday with it in some way, shape or form.

What is your go to Taco Bell order?

Oh, my God.

Believe it or not, I have not eaten personally at a Taco Bell since college.

So I'm going on.

I'm going on almost 30 years since personally eating Taco Bell.

But if you force me to go to Taco Bell, I just go.

I'd go bean and cheese burrito, Jen.

Bean and cheese burrito.

What about you?

Okay, well, I'm surprised by that answer.

You seem surprised.

Well, I have questions about how you haven't been there in so long, but my go to order, so I'm a cheesy gordita crunch girl.

And then I feel like you can't sleep on the Mexican pizza.

It's like the oldie but the goodie.

It's just.

Yeah, that's a good call.

It's just amazing.

And the kids today don't know anything about it.

Yeah, that's a good call.

But it's not like I'm there every week either.

But I definitely have been there since college.

So was this a conscious choice where you're like, I'm done with Taco Bell, or you just haven't been through.

I don't understand.

Yeah, no, it was a.

It was a conscious choice that I.

That I'm done with Taco Bell.

The gastrointestinal tract of.

Does not just not particularly enjoy the aftermath of a Taco Bell experience.

I've taken my kids there, but I have never.

I have not eaten a Taco Bell in 30 years.

I have not.

Wow.

Yeah.

Okay, well, I guess we're gonna have to think harder about our Lightning Round questions because I have not seen Star wars and you have not been to Taco Bell, and I would have thought for sure you've been to Taco Bell in 30 years.

But.

But it makes for great.

It makes for great podcasting Jet.
