Speaker AAll right, Chad, first question.
Speaker AIt was revealed in a new book that Jackie Kennedy's favorite sandwich was a grilled cheese.
Speaker AWhat is your go to sandwich?
Speaker BWell, I don't want to open up the whole debate on whether a hot dog is or is not a sandwich, but anyway, that's not my answer.
Speaker BIt's Italian hoagie all day.
Speaker BIt is definitive.
Speaker BLike, oh, yeah, give me.
Speaker BGive me all the Italian cured meats and the drippy oil on it, and it's like roasted red peppers.
Speaker BGive it all to me.
Speaker AI just doordashed one of those to my mother yesterday, Chad, so that's a very good choice.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker BWhat a good son you are.
Speaker BYou gave her fuzzy.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, you know, I try.
Speaker AI try.
Speaker AYes, I gave her the word fuzzy.
Speaker ANice.
Speaker ANice callback.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker AAll right, Kelly, two people were arrested this week after someone broke into Punch the Monkeys enclosure at a zoo in Japan.
Speaker AWhat is the best, biggest stunt that you have ever attempted to pull off?
Speaker COh, man, that's a big question.
Speaker CI'm thinking about what I want to share on the pod here.
Speaker CI would say one.
Speaker COne that I've tried not once, but probably multiple times is.
Speaker CYou know, it's.
Speaker CIt's 10:30pm at the wedding reception.
Speaker CWill they give me the mic?
Speaker CLike, can I get up on stage with the band?
Speaker CIt's fine.
Speaker CLike, we can all sing.
Speaker CI have only pulled it off at my own wedding.
Speaker COkay.
Speaker CNo, no other time.
Speaker CI'm 0% at any other attempt.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AThat may say something.
Speaker AChad.
Speaker AChad wants to jump in.
Speaker BI will say I have seen the Kelly live singing experience before at a dueling piano bar.
Speaker BIt's quite fantastic.
Speaker CYes.
Speaker CYou know, we had worked pretty hard at that, too, because the turns out at dueling piano, they want to sing and play piano.
Speaker CThey don't usually, like, welcome the crowd, so you have to slip them a good amount of money, but it's doable.
Speaker ASo, Kelly, are you, like, one of these closeted, like, killer karaoke people?
Speaker AIs that what you are?
Speaker CI mean, you said it.
Speaker CYou said it, not me.
Speaker AIs that what she is?
Speaker BI don't think it's so closet.
Speaker BShe's very upset with it.
Speaker AShe's very.
Speaker AOh, wow.
Speaker AShe's like a slayer when it comes to, like, karaoke.
Speaker AThose people are always impressive.
Speaker AI'm like, oh, my God.
Speaker AGod, I wish I could sing like you.
Speaker AAll right, Chad.
Speaker AJeff Bezos once said, life is too short.
Speaker AOf course, Right?
Speaker ALife is too short to hang out with people who aren't resourceful.
Speaker ADo you agree or disagree with Mr. Bezos?
Speaker BHang out with, I don't know, work with definitively.
Speaker BLike, I, I, I always, you know, anytime that I have, you know, new consultants join our ranks.
Speaker BResourcefulness is definitely one of the three traits that I always refer to in terms of the difference between a good and a less than average consultant.
Speaker BBut to hang out with, Yeah, I mean, I guess I can think of experiences where the resourcefulness of some of my friends when we're trying to eke out that last part of the night has made things much more memorable, let's say it that way.
Speaker AThat's an interesting point.
Speaker AI never thought about that.
Speaker AYeah, that's probably true.
Speaker ABut, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker AI think at the end of the day, I disagree.
Speaker AI think, you know, as long, as long as I can have a couple beers with you, I don't care, you know, how resourceful you are.
Speaker AAs long as they can.
Speaker AAs long as we can.
Speaker AKeep being served.
Speaker AAll right, Kelly, last one.
