Question to you, Jen.
Speaker APresident Trump reportedly received a DoorDash delivery of McDonald's outside the Oval Office recently.
Speaker AWhat is the strangest thing you have ever doordashed?
Speaker BWell, it definitely isn't the two venti coffees that I got this morning, plus whatever else is in this mystery bag.
Speaker BI would say I'm known for.
Speaker BI'm known for over ordering, and I sometimes fast.
Speaker BAnd so one day after fasting, typically, I don't know if you guys are like this, but in the last, like, hour or so fasting, all I do is look at menus, particularly online menus, and figure out what I'm going to order.
Speaker BAnd I placed an order from three different places, and I had so much extra food that I had sent the guy I was dating, who is now my partner at the time, home with a bag like this one.
Speaker BAnd that's how she discovered our relationship, is because she saw the bag in his fridge and said, who's Jennifer?
Speaker AOh, wow.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker AThat's a great story.
Speaker AThat's a great story.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker AAll right, John, next one.
Speaker ALittle House on the Prairie is getting rebooted by Netflix.
Speaker AOne, did you ever watch the original?
Speaker AThis is kind of an age question.
Speaker AAnd two, will you be tuning in to see the new exploits of Ma and Pa and Mary and Laura?
Speaker CGreat question.
Speaker CSo growing up in the Benson household, I had a lot of older siblings.
Speaker CIt was what I remember of Little House on the Prairie.
Speaker CIt was always on.
Speaker CIt felt like if I go back into my memory bank, it was like it was on in the background.
Speaker CBut I don't know that I actually sat down and, like, actually watched those episodes, you know, beginning to end.
Speaker CI have visions and kind of memories of Michael Landon, and I remember when, you know, he unfortunately passed away at an early age and things like that.
Speaker CBut it was not a show that I'm, like, really closely connected to.
Speaker CThat said, I now have three young children, my oldest, who is 10.
Speaker CMy daughter is a big Little House on the Prairie fan.
Speaker CShe has all the books, and she's kind of read them all and all that.
Speaker CSo we.
Speaker CWe will be tuning in to watch.
Speaker CYou know, she's read all the books, so now we can watch the TV show.
Speaker CWe'll definitely be tuning in to check it out and show her some old classics.
Speaker AYou're all in for some wholesome family fun.
Speaker AJen, do you have a relationship with Little House on the Prairie?
Speaker BI've never seen an episode other than this outfit.
Speaker BI would say no.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker AI'll Take that for what you will.
Speaker ATake that for what you will, folks.
Speaker AAll right, Jen.
Speaker ANext one.
Speaker AThe Boston Marathon takes place.
Speaker APlace next Monday.
Speaker AAlways a fun time in Boston, having lived there and experienced it.
Speaker AHave you ever run a marathon?
Speaker BI mean, I appreciate that you would ask me that question.
Speaker BIt's obviously because of my physique, but I haven't run a marathon.
Speaker BI do feel like I've done a few in airports and client meetings, but not a true marathon.
Speaker AGot it.
Speaker AGot it.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ANo, I think that.
Speaker AFair play to you.
Speaker AI've never done one myself.
Speaker AAll right, John, last one.
Speaker AAlex Cooper, Broker.
Speaker AThis is big, John.
Speaker AThis is big.
Speaker AI hope everyone's sitting down listening to this or driving their car.
Speaker AMake sure you focus on this one, everyone.
Speaker AAlex Cooper broke her silence on her feud with Alex Earl this week, calling her out for starting quote, fake drama in air quotes.
Speaker ASo are you Team Alex with an E or Team Alex with an I?
Speaker CSo I gotta say, I spend most of my free time when I'm not at work, you know, listening to these podcasts, so I'm very familiar with all the intricate details of this feud.
Speaker CBeing facetious here, but, of course, you know, it's a really tough call, but I sort of look at this as, you know, as far as I can gather.
Speaker CFrom what I understand, I think, you know, Alex Cooper is a bit of more of the, you know, original kind of, you know, the og, if you will, in terms of the.
Speaker CThese podcasts and Call Me Daddy podcast.
Speaker CSo I actually am sort of on Team Alex Cooper, but I would encourage Alex Cooper to take it easy on Alix Earl.
Speaker CYou know, she's.
Speaker CShe's.
Speaker CYou know, she's your protege.
Speaker CYou know, give her a little bit of mentoring and give her a little bit of grace.
Speaker CYou know, you guys are friends.
Speaker CYou know, kiss and makeup and.
Speaker CAnd both do awesome things on your.
Speaker CYou know, on your podcast.
Speaker CThat.
Speaker CThat's my.
Speaker CThat's my unsolicited advice to Alice Cooper, but I'm on your side, Alex.
Speaker AAll right, all right, Jed, you have a horse in this race?
Speaker BNo, I mean, I. I feel like John said it.
Speaker BWell, it would be almost like if John and I had feuded, you know, like, we.
Speaker BYou can't hide.
Speaker BYou have to be neutral.
Speaker DI feel.
Speaker AYeah, right.
Speaker AYou just got to work it out.
Speaker AYou got to work it out.
Speaker AProducer Ella.
Speaker AFabulous.
Speaker AProducer Ella.
Speaker AFpe.
Speaker ADo you have a.
Speaker ADo you have a take here?
Speaker AI'm pretty much Alex Cooper.
Speaker AI think I'm with John on this one.
Speaker AAre you two or.
Speaker AOh, no, you're going the other way.
Speaker DOn me because I'm chronically online, so I. I'm, like, fully in this debate.
Speaker DI'm going to pick Alix Earl.
Speaker DI hate to pick sides.
Speaker DShe's a girl's girl.
Speaker AThat's why you just think she's got something.
Speaker AShe's got something to her arguments here.
Speaker AYou just kind of just believe in her.
Speaker DFor people who don't know the difference, Alex Cooper is the call her daddy host, and she's very, like, CEO energy.
Speaker DSo she does a lot of interviews with, like, the people that you'd want to scout interviews for the people who have those big stories.
Speaker DRight.
Speaker DAlex, Earl with an eye.
Speaker DShe is more the tiktoker influencer that just, like, takes you along her day.
Speaker DAnd, like, you feel like you trust her and your best friends, right?
Speaker DYeah, I just feel like I trust her and I'm her best friend.
Speaker AWow.
Speaker DPart of me.
Speaker DThey're both marketing geniuses, so, yeah, deep, deep down, I'm like, what if they're doing this for a stunt and they're just going to be on each other's shows?
Speaker ATo that point, I learned yesterday I both have the same PR agent, too, which is fascinating as well, so.
