Was there any moment at Drake that changed how you see yourself?

What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud? When I answer this question, I talk about the fantastic, superb, outstanding, extremely fun, super energetic, extremely special, and EPIC interview that Micole and Josh Chapman and Jill Bassman conducted/co-produced with me on Friday May 9th for Episode#289; during that episode of the podcast all of us were laughing several times during several moments of the interview.

Would you rather have a text or a phone call?

What's your favorite smell?

What do you envision for The Juice with Jeff in 2026? I explain to Whitney that I should first focus on getting thru the rest of this year and making sure we can try to have a total of 50 new episodes produced and recorded this year (with 30 of them being done in person) and then I can worry about 2026.
