The Juice with Jeff #235

On this episode of the podcast, Jill Brimeyer conducts and co-produces a fantastic, superb, outstanding, and really conversational interview with me in person. This is Jill's fourth time (third in person) on the podcast and we recorded this one outdoors at Campbell Recreational Area in Clive.

 

We begin the podcast with Jill and I sharing our thoughts and reflecting on how earlier this weekend we reached our baseline goal of having a minimum of at least 50 new episodes produced and recorded of The Juice with Jeff during 2024 in just six months and discussing how this year is definitely turning out to be THE BEST YEAR EVER for the show in multiple ways.
Then Jill and I play a game where Jill wrote a dozen or so original questions for it on note cards, and I am to draw one of the note cards at random with me answering the question on that card first, followed by Jill sharing her answer to that same question. We keep repeating the process until all the note cards have been chosen. These questions are:

 

What is one place that shaped who you are?

Does the idea of an infinite universe excite or scare you?

What question do you wish someone would ask you?

Would "Elementary School Jeff" be surprised at who "Adult Jeff" has become or at things he's done?

If you could ask and get an answer to one question in the universe, what is it?

What is something you loved as a child that now as an adult you can't stand?

What thing about you would surprise people?

What is one character trait you wish you had?

"Elementary School Jeff" gets home from school, what is his go to snack?

What's a belief you once had that you don't have anymore?

Have you ever: Rode a horse, been on a roller coaster, hiked a mountain, gotten in trouble when you were in school, been on TV, been in a police car, jumped on a pogo stick?

 

After the game, I perform several voice impersonations for Jill that I either have never done before publicly or have only done occasionally: Howdy Doody, Jack Webb (from Dragnet), Rod Serling (Twilight Zone and Night Gallery), Chuck Barris followed by mentioning about my longtime "crush" on the 1970's The Gong Show, and Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr singing the jingles for two local TV commercials.
