The Juice with Jeff #289

On this episode of the podcast, Micole and Josh Chapman, and Jill Bassman conduct and co-produce their fantastic, superb, outstanding, extremely fun, super energetic, super special, and EPIC interview with me in person for Episode #289!!! This is Jill's 8th time (6th in person), Micole's 7th time (5th in person) and Josh's second time on the podcast.

Their interview with me this year follows a format similar to the super special and EPIC interview with me they (along with Carrie England) did with me on April 19th of 2024 with each of them asking me two or three questions.

Before they begin asking me the unique and one of a kind questions on their list, I ask Micole and Josh how they came up with the idea to have our super cool and amazing Juice with Jeff: Best Interviews in the World logo created in April of last year when they presented me with the super cool Juice with Jeff: Best Interviews in the World T-shirts and the pack of 36 Juice with Jeff stickers that they arranged for a sticker company to have produced and sent to me back in early December last year.

Here are the questions that Micole, Josh, and Jill ask me during the interview:

Jill: Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?

Josh: If you just won the $10 Millon lottery, what would you do with all that money?

Micole: What do you hope your eulogy will say?

Jill: What is the number one thing on your bucket list?

Josh: How many impersonations do you think you can do in one minute? And after I answered this question, Josh challenged me to do whatever impersonations I could do in one minute: Fat Albert, Michael "Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!!" Buffer, Audrey II the Plant from "Little Shop of Horrors", and Tom Bodett.

Micole:  One of the members of our family Kyler is graduating from high school in a few weeks.  What kind of advice would you have for any high school senior about your future, about how to look at life, any kind of advice you can give to a high school senior to prepare them on for their next phase in life?

Jill:  If you were stranded on an island, what three things would you want to have with you?

And then I give a powerful performance of the following voice impersonations for Micole, Josh, and Jill: The Simpsons Medley, politicians such as current President Trump/former President Joe Biden/former Senator Mitt Romney/Senator Mitch McConnell/Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, several NPR and public radio personalities, and I end my performance with my Jim Morrison singing the Toys R' Us jingle in The Doors' style impersonation.

We definitely had sooooooo much fun during this super amazing interview for the podcast!!! As you can hear at various points of the interview, there are numerous moments of laughter. If someone insisted/demanded that I pick which Juice with Jeff episode is my absolute favorite one out of the 289 episodes (plus the Pilot one) we've produced and recorded so far since 2017: I truly and firmly believe that the interview Micole, Josh, and Jill did with me for this episode is my ALL TIME FAVORITE EPISODE of the podcast and in my opinion our BEST JUICE WITH JEFF INTERVIEW EVER!!! The interview they did with me in April 2024 last year is my SECOND ALL TIME FAVORITE episode of the podcast!!
