Let's go to the lightning round on that upbeat note.
Speaker A:All right, Chad, first question.
Speaker A:It was revealed in a new book that Jackie Kennedy's favorite sandwich was a grilled cheese.
Speaker A:What is your go to sandwich?
Speaker B:Well, 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 B:It's Italian hoagie all day.
Speaker B:It is definitive.
Speaker B:Like, oh, yeah, give me.
Speaker B:Give me all the Italian cured meats and the drippy oil on it, and it's like roasted red peppers.
Speaker B:Give it all to me.
Speaker A:I just doordashed one of those to my mother yesterday, Chad, so that's a very good choice.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:What a good son you are.
Speaker B:You gave her fuzzy.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, you know, I try.
Speaker A:I try.
Speaker A:Yes, I gave her the word fuzzy.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker A:Nice callback.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:All right, Kelly, two people were arrested this week after someone broke into Punch the Monkeys enclosure at a zoo in Japan.
Speaker A:What is the best, biggest stunt that you have ever attempted to pull off?
Speaker C:Oh, man, that's a big question.
Speaker C:I'm thinking about what I want to share on the pod here.
Speaker C:I would say one.
Speaker C:One that I've tried not once, but probably multiple times is.
Speaker C:You know, it's.
Speaker C: It's: Speaker C:Will they give me the mic?
Speaker C:Like, can I get up on stage with the band?
Speaker C:It's fine.
Speaker C:Like, we can all sing.
Speaker C:I have only pulled it off at my own wedding.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:No, no other time.
Speaker C:I'm 0% at any other attempt.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:That may say something.
Speaker A:Chad.
Speaker A:Chad wants to jump in.
Speaker B:I will say I have seen the Kelly live singing experience before at a dueling piano bar.
Speaker B:It's quite fantastic.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:You know, we had worked pretty hard at that, too, because the turns out at dueling piano, they want to sing and play piano.
Speaker C:They don't usually, like, welcome the crowd, so you have to slip them a good amount of money, but it's doable.
Speaker A:So, Kelly, are you, like, one of these closeted, like, killer karaoke people?
Speaker A:Is that what you are?
Speaker C:I mean, you said it.
Speaker C:You said it, not me.
Speaker A:Is that what she is?
Speaker B:I don't think it's so closet.
Speaker B:She's very upset with it.
Speaker A:She's very.
Speaker A:Oh, wow.
Speaker A:She's like a slayer when it comes to, like, karaoke.
Speaker A:Those people are always impressive.
Speaker A:I'm like, oh, my God.
Speaker A:God, I wish I could sing like you.
Speaker A:All right, Chad.
Speaker A:Jeff Bezos once said, life is too short.
Speaker A:Of course, Right?
Speaker A:Life is too short to hang out with people who aren't resourceful.
Speaker A:Do you agree or disagree with Mr. Bezos?
Speaker B:Hang out with, I don't know, work with definitively.
Speaker B:Like, I, I, I always, you know, anytime that I have, you know, new consultants join our ranks.
Speaker B:Resourcefulness 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 B:But 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 A:That's an interesting point.
Speaker A:I never thought about that.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's probably true.
Speaker A:But, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker A:I think at the end of the day, I disagree.
Speaker A:I 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 A:As long as they can.
Speaker A:As long as we can.
Speaker A:Keep being served.
Speaker A:All right, Kelly, last one.
Speaker A:The Mandalorian and Grogu opens this weekend.
Speaker A:Will you and or your family be heading to the theater?
Speaker C:I definitely will.
Speaker C:I think we've established on prior podcasts I'm a bit of a closet nerd.
Speaker C:I'm not a closet karaoke person, but I'm a closet nerd.
Speaker C:So I will be there.
Speaker C:I will not be there.
Speaker C:Opening weekend, I'm doing some Memorial Day traveling, but that's.
Speaker C:It's my birthday plans for next week.
Speaker C:Go check.
