00:00I submitted some questions of the day in the suggestion box earlier.
00:03Which we greatly appreciate.
00:04And they are on the list.
00:05They are?
00:06Okay, okay, yeah.
00:07That's what I'm going to start doing.
00:08When I see things happening out in the wild and in society,
00:11I'm going to be like, that would make a good question of the day.
00:13We appreciate that.
00:13Yeah.
00:14So what is the question of the day?
00:15Not one of yours.
00:16Happy St. Paddy's Day.
00:17Yet.
00:17By the way.
00:18Oh, thanks.
00:19Happy St. Paddy's Day to you guys as well.
00:21I know that you are Irish.
00:22My people.
00:23You're half.
00:24Yeah.
00:24No, it still counts, I think.
00:26Yeah.
00:26Yeah.
00:26But in honor of St. Paddy's Day and the luck of the Irish,
00:29what's the luckiest thing that you've seen, sports or otherwise?
00:32Okay.
00:33Luckiest thing.
00:33Otherwise is always going to be fun, too.
00:35Luckiest thing that we've seen in sports.
00:37Or otherwise.
00:38Or otherwise.
00:38Just the luckiest thing that you've seen.
00:40Okay.
00:41I mean, there's several crash videos on Twitter nowadays where you're like,
00:45that guy walked away from that.
00:47I would say recently the luckiest thing I've seen,
00:49the luckiest thing, and it's not reflected in their record this year,
00:53but I think ultimately it will be probably,
00:55is the Dallas Mavericks winning the NBA lottery.
00:59Just months after trading Luka Doncic.
01:02Luka Doncic.
01:03Call him that luck, are we?
01:04Luck.
01:05Yeah.
01:06I'm a sap.
01:08Yes, I think it's luck.
01:10He believes in the system, damn it.
01:11Sounds like I'm the only one in the room.
01:12Patrick does, too.
01:13No, I'm with you.
01:14He's being sarcastic.
01:14I do, yeah.
01:15No, I'm with you.
01:16No, that's a cry.
01:17I mean, now they did help their way along by once they realized that Luka was
01:21gone, they just absolutely put it into tank mode.
01:24They did, but they wound up with Cooper Flack.
01:26They did, who I think has the potential to be the best player on a really good NBA team.
01:30I feel like if you wanted to do that, I think you have to go to the San Antonio Spurs.
01:33Yeah, that's true, too.
01:33And the fact that every time that they have a star player,
01:35they just somehow luck into the next iteration of a star player.
01:39And then they had a couple years of being down,
01:41and they're like, you know what?
01:42For your trouble, here's Victor Wimbenyamu.
01:45You know what people here in Houston would have said?
01:48We just did a segment with Aziz talking about C.J. Stroud.
01:51Two years ago, this answer would have been the Hail Mary from Davis Mills and the ball
01:57going through, I believe Rodney Thomas was the name of the safety.
02:01I mean, we were ready to build a statue for him.
02:03The safety that missed on that interception that landed in Jordan Aiken's hands.
02:07I mean, that whole drive, they converted a fourth and 13 to Brandon Cooks,
02:12who didn't even want to be here anymore.
02:14And so I would say that might have been, and it still has a chance to be that answer,
02:19if C.J. can kind of rehabilitate things a little bit.
02:22But, yeah, those are good ones, I think.
02:24Those are good ones.
02:25Seth, you're pondering still, it looks like.
02:27Oh, I guess for me personally, I still always think the luckiest thing that ever happened to me
02:33is that when I met my wife for the first time,
02:36I mistakenly thought that she was one of my friend's girlfriends.
02:41And because of that, so whatever stroke of luck led to that,
02:45it allowed me to just be myself and not screw it up.
02:51Like, I totally would have, because I was completely enraptured by her,
02:55but I was on my best behavior and totally just trying to respect the boundaries
03:02of this being my friend's girlfriend, even though she wasn't.
03:05And I feel like I made a good impression, like, in that way,
03:09where I don't think I would have made a good impression otherwise.
03:12I would have screwed it up somehow.
03:13So I think I was very, very lucky.
03:15All right, so, Figgy, good job there.
03:16Figgy, go ahead and cut that up and clip that.
03:18We'll send that to Brandy.
03:19Yes.
03:20No, I was thinking, I was thinking,
03:21Seth just gave us another question of the day for that down the road.
03:24What's your best how we met story?
03:26Oh, that's good.
03:26How we met story.
03:27Yeah, that's a really good – Seth, that sequence of events for me
03:31would have me going back and reevaluating every interaction I'd ever had
03:34with a woman to answer that, you know?
03:36Well, that's the advice I give now.
03:38It's, like, always – like, pretend that this is –
03:40whenever you meet a girl you really, really like.
03:43You don't want to come out too strong.
03:44No.
03:44You don't want to, like, be awkward and not yourself.
03:46Yeah, just pretend that she's your buddy's girlfriend.
03:49And you're just saying, just have a good time like you would in a platonic way,
03:53and then whatever happens after that happens.
03:55I also like to envision a version of Seth, like, date Mike on The Office
03:58that goes out to his car when he realizes, ooh,
04:01there may be something happening here.
04:02Puts on the backwards hat, you know?
04:06Unbuttons the shirt down to the middle.
04:08Starts, you know, like, intentionally knocking pool balls off the table
04:11and things like that.
04:12I prefer to think there's a version of that out there.
04:16All right, boys.
04:17Well, have a great show.
04:18Thanks, man.
04:19Cross Talk brought to you by D&M Auto Leasing.
04:21Antibodies to you, my friends.
04:22Antibodies and a homemade Twinkie recipe with the original banana cream filling to you.
04:28That would be good.
04:29That's going to be – that's my project for this weekend.
04:32Twinkies?
04:32Funyuns today, homemade Twinkies tomorrow.
04:36I'm going to hypothesize that the homemade Twinkie you would not like.
04:40Not as much as the regular Twinkie.
04:41I think there's something in the processed foods that are less food than actually –
04:45Oh, that hits you a certain way?
04:47Yeah, but I don't like Twinkies.
04:49So, I think I'll probably actually like the real Twinkie better.
04:53Oh, okay.
04:53Fair enough.
04:54Did you say the original banana cream?
04:56The original was banana cream.
04:57And then during World War II, there was food – because of food shortages, they changed it to a sugar
05:02and vegetable shortening mix.
05:04Dang.
05:04Okay.
05:05I have the answer in my head.
05:06I promise we're going to get out of here.
05:07I have the answer in my head.
05:09Does a banana cream Twinkie sound better, worse, or the same as the normal Twinkie to you?
05:15To me, better.
05:17Reggie?
05:17I'm not a Twinkie guy, so this is – I'm just participating out of kindness to you and respect.
05:23I'm going to say worse just because banana flavor is one of those flavors that you either love or more
05:29people just generally are annoyed by.
05:30Okay.
05:30Okay.
05:31What about you, Sam?
05:31I love banana cream pie, so yeah, I would like –
05:34That sounds so good to me.
05:36Yeah.
05:36A banana cream-filled Twinkie?
05:38Oh, my God.
05:39They got to be on Amazon, right?
05:40There's got to be a banana cream Twinkie somewhere in the city of Houston.
05:43You can find, I'm sure.
05:44No!
05:44I just want it delivered to me.
05:46Do you know who you're talking to?
05:47I just want it delivered to me.
05:47You're just like, Sean, you can do work and create it.
05:50Sean, you live 100 yards from the dessert gallery.
05:54Go in there and have them whip some up.
05:56Oh, they could customize one for me, you think?
05:58Yeah.
05:58Yeah, that's true.
05:59Now we're adding to your weekly expense.
06:01Well, now I've got two projects.
06:02You're going to do this consistently.
06:03I've got two projects.
06:04A pender poll that I'm going to put up and going and asking the dessert gallery to custom make a
06:09banana cream Twinkie for me.
06:11Hard work for you, but good work if you can get it.
06:13Man, it's going to be a long day.
