Speaker A

So let's do the lightning round.

Speaker A

Are you ready for those listening.

Speaker A

I've curated all four lightning round questions for Jen if you listen to the show each week.

Speaker A

So we're going to get to get a sense of who Jen really is beyond just how she spells her name.

Speaker A

All right, Jen.

Speaker A

Researchers 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 A

By analyzing how you watch your first episode, what is most likely to show up in your binge watching recommendations?

Speaker B

Okay, honestly, Netflix, I'm just.

Speaker B

I'm a mom.

Speaker B

There's been snow days, so you could see kids shows show up.

Speaker B

For all I know, has been babysitting my kids the last three weeks when we've had zero school.

Speaker B

But for me, it's probably going to show.

Speaker B

I would.

Speaker B

Those sports reality type shows, right?

Speaker B

Like Starting five or Quarterback or that one can't remember what it's called, but Jerry Jones and like the Dallas Cowboys history.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

You're showing me a shocked face right now.

Speaker A

Wow, I did not expect you to say that at all.

Speaker B

No, I'm all in.

Speaker B

I will do, like, rom coms and things, but I can't handle any.

Speaker B

Anything suspense.

Speaker B

So Netflix would not give me, like, anything scary, suspenseful.

Speaker B

Like, I got enough in my life.

Speaker B

I don't need to be worried about that when I watch Netflix.

Speaker A

Okay, so you don't like the big scare.

Speaker A

You don't like the big scare.

Speaker A

All right, second one.

Speaker B

Like how that athlete got there and all they went through.

Speaker B

It's just.

Speaker A

It's really co. You're a personal interest girl.

Speaker A

That's what you like.

Speaker A

You like personal interest stories?

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

That's cool.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker B

Nice.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

Next one.

Speaker A

Boston Market.

Speaker A

This is gonna be a great one, too.

Speaker A

Boston 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 A

Are you subscribing?

Speaker B

No, no, I'm not subscribing to monthly rotisserie chicken programs.

Speaker B

Um, I'm out on this.

Speaker B

I 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 B

What about you?

Speaker B

Yeah, what are you.

Speaker A

Well, actually, I was thinking about, like, 15.99amonth, getting a rotisserie chicken every week.

Speaker A

Like, that's actually a hell of a deal.

Speaker A

Like, what if your local grocer did this?

Speaker A

Would you sign up for it, then.

Speaker B

No, it's not really.

Speaker B

Because that's like $4 a month.

Speaker B

Or.

Speaker B

I'm sorry, $4 a week.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker B

And I. Rotisserie chickens are, like, 5.99.

Speaker B

So to me, like, when they're hot and fresh and I know I want to eat it that day, you know?

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

But the.

Speaker A

The merchant in me goes, okay, maybe I make this a component of my subscription program.

Speaker A

Like, 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 A

That's where I'm going with this.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

I love rotisserie chicken.

Speaker A

I'm all in on the rotisserie chicken.

Speaker A

All right, third one.

Speaker A

Now we'll get some music tastes here from you, Jen.

Speaker A

Harry Styles announced the 2026 Madison Square Garden residency ago.

Speaker A

Where do you come down on Mr. Harry Styles?

Speaker B

I really hate to disappoint you and the audience, but I know nothing about Harry Styles.

Speaker A

Not disappointing at all, Jed.

Speaker A

Not disappointing at all.

Speaker B

I think he dated Taylor Swift at one point.

Speaker B

That's, like, the first thing that comes to mind.

Speaker B

But 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 A

Okay.

Speaker A

We will think.

Speaker A

We will.

Speaker A

I will think through that.

Speaker A

My wife would love to go with you.

Speaker A

I'm sure she loves hairstyles.

Speaker A

Oh, my God.

Speaker B

Okay.

Speaker A

Oh, God.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

It just drives me absolutely insane.

Speaker A

All right, last one.

Speaker A

80,000.

Speaker A

And she's gonna listen to this show, too.

Speaker A

80,000 Keurig coffee pots were recalled yesterday on an average day.

Speaker A

I'm curious.

Speaker A

How many cups of coffee do you drink again?

Speaker B

I feel like I'm the most lame guest ever as I'm answering these questions, but I don't drink coffee.

Speaker B

I used to drink.

Speaker B

Yeah, I used to drink a lot of black coffee, especially back in my ops days.

Speaker B

Right?

Speaker B

Lots of black coffee that went cold before you could drink it.

Speaker B

I don't know when it changed, but today in my mug, I have mushroom coffee, which I've heard mixed reviews on.

Speaker B

Some people love it, some people hate it, but I have one cup of rise mushroom coffee every day.

Speaker B

And, like, maybe a few times a week I'll have a latte, but, yeah, okay.

Speaker B

Boring.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

Wow.

Speaker A

That is.

Speaker B

That.

Speaker A

That surprises me, given what you do and how, like, just.

Speaker A

You got to be on all the time with the clients and everything.

Speaker A

Oh, man.

Speaker A

I'm already at cup one and a half.

Speaker A

I think.

Speaker A

Producer Ella, let's bring you into the show.

Speaker A

I think we also need to start a new segment.

Speaker A

Like, how many cups of coffee has Chris had today?

Speaker A

You know, I think.

Speaker A

I think we could.

Speaker A

We could do the over and under on two before we start every podcast, but.
