So let's do the lightning round.
Speaker AAre you ready for those listening.
Speaker AI've curated all four lightning round questions for Jen if you listen to the show each week.
Speaker ASo we're going to get to get a sense of who Jen really is beyond just how she spells her name.
Speaker AAll right, Jen.
Speaker AResearchers at MIT just developed a new AI system that can predict which Netflix shows you'll binge watch next with an amazing 93% accuracy.
Speaker ABy analyzing how you watch your first episode, what is most likely to show up in your binge watching recommendations?
Speaker BOkay, honestly, Netflix, I'm just.
Speaker BI'm a mom.
Speaker BThere's been snow days, so you could see kids shows show up.
Speaker BFor all I know, has been babysitting my kids the last three weeks when we've had zero school.
Speaker BBut for me, it's probably going to show.
Speaker BI would.
Speaker BThose sports reality type shows, right?
Speaker BLike Starting five or Quarterback or that one can't remember what it's called, but Jerry Jones and like the Dallas Cowboys history.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BYou're showing me a shocked face right now.
Speaker AWow, I did not expect you to say that at all.
Speaker BNo, I'm all in.
Speaker BI will do, like, rom coms and things, but I can't handle any.
Speaker BAnything suspense.
Speaker BSo Netflix would not give me, like, anything scary, suspenseful.
Speaker BLike, I got enough in my life.
Speaker BI don't need to be worried about that when I watch Netflix.
Speaker AOkay, so you don't like the big scare.
Speaker AYou don't like the big scare.
Speaker AAll right, second one.
Speaker BLike how that athlete got there and all they went through.
Speaker BIt's just.
Speaker AIt's really co. You're a personal interest girl.
Speaker AThat's what you like.
Speaker AYou like personal interest stories?
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AThat's cool.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker BNice.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker ANext one.
Speaker ABoston Market.
Speaker AThis is gonna be a great one, too.
Speaker ABoston Market just announced they're testing a new rotisserie chicken subscription where you get one chicken per week delivered to your door for $15.99 a month.
Speaker AAre you subscribing?
Speaker BNo, no, I'm not subscribing to monthly rotisserie chicken programs.
Speaker BUm, I'm out on this.
Speaker BI think I can order rotisserie chickens, and I do when I want them, but I don't need them just showing up at my door on a regular basis.
Speaker BWhat about you?
Speaker BYeah, what are you.
Speaker AWell, actually, I was thinking about, like, 15.99amonth, getting a rotisserie chicken every week.
Speaker ALike, that's actually a hell of a deal.
Speaker ALike, what if your local grocer did this?
Speaker AWould you sign up for it, then.
Speaker BNo, it's not really.
Speaker BBecause that's like $4 a month.
Speaker BOr.
Speaker BI'm sorry, $4 a week.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BAnd I. Rotisserie chickens are, like, 5.99.
Speaker BSo to me, like, when they're hot and fresh and I know I want to eat it that day, you know?
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ABut the.
Speaker AThe merchant in me goes, okay, maybe I make this a component of my subscription program.
Speaker ALike, you sign up for my subscription program, and you get discounted chicken delivered to your door on demand as part of a greater fee.
Speaker AThat's where I'm going with this.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AI love rotisserie chicken.
Speaker AI'm all in on the rotisserie chicken.
Speaker AAll right, third one.
Speaker ANow we'll get some music tastes here from you, Jen.
Speaker AHarry Styles announced the 2026 Madison Square Garden residency ago.
Speaker AWhere do you come down on Mr. Harry Styles?
Speaker BI really hate to disappoint you and the audience, but I know nothing about Harry Styles.
Speaker ANot disappointing at all, Jed.
Speaker ANot disappointing at all.
Speaker BI think he dated Taylor Swift at one point.
Speaker BThat's, like, the first thing that comes to mind.
Speaker BBut if you would like me to check out his residency and report back, if Omnitoc wants to, like, send me as the newbie and go check it out, I will go and check it out.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AWe will think.
Speaker AWe will.
Speaker AI will think through that.
Speaker AMy wife would love to go with you.
Speaker AI'm sure she loves hairstyles.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker AOh, God.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AIt just drives me absolutely insane.
Speaker AAll right, last one.
Speaker A80,000.
Speaker AAnd she's gonna listen to this show, too.
Speaker A80,000 Keurig coffee pots were recalled yesterday on an average day.
Speaker AI'm curious.
Speaker AHow many cups of coffee do you drink again?
Speaker BI feel like I'm the most lame guest ever as I'm answering these questions, but I don't drink coffee.
Speaker BI used to drink.
Speaker BYeah, I used to drink a lot of black coffee, especially back in my ops days.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker BLots of black coffee that went cold before you could drink it.
Speaker BI don't know when it changed, but today in my mug, I have mushroom coffee, which I've heard mixed reviews on.
Speaker BSome people love it, some people hate it, but I have one cup of rise mushroom coffee every day.
Speaker BAnd, like, maybe a few times a week I'll have a latte, but, yeah, okay.
Speaker BBoring.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker AWow.
Speaker AThat is.
Speaker BThat.
Speaker AThat surprises me, given what you do and how, like, just.
Speaker AYou got to be on all the time with the clients and everything.
Speaker AOh, man.
Speaker AI'm already at cup one and a half.
Speaker AI think.
Speaker AProducer Ella, let's bring you into the show.
Speaker AI think we also need to start a new segment.
Speaker ALike, how many cups of coffee has Chris had today?
Speaker AYou know, I think.
Speaker AI think we could.
