Summary
This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Lightning Round segment closes out the show with World Cup predictions, James Bond casting debates, cycling culture, and Chris Walton's favorite meal from his European conference tour. Chris Walton and Ben Miller discuss where a potential U.S. World Cup victory would rank among the greatest sports achievements of their lifetimes, while also sharing some classic British optimism (and pessimism) ahead of England's tournament run. The conversation also covers who should be the next James Bond, why Kevin Costner might not survive in a professional cycling peloton, and the unforgettable Michelin-starred dining experience Chris and his wife enjoyed in San Sebastián. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/toy5NmyXau4 This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
