your support, Archstone.

We'll see how it goes today.

Which song request sparked the Milkshake performance and why?

Anne Kelly 1:18
Well, you guys, we can't wait to talk to both of you more about what it's been like hosting this podcast, getting you here to 100 episodes. But before we do, we always ask who would like to make a song request. And Eric, I think today you have that honor.
Eric Widera 1:34
For 99 episodes, I've been trying to get Alex to sing one song. And Alex continuously refuses to
Matt Chandler 1:42
sing it.
Eric Widera 1:44
Until now. Until now. Alex, since you have no choice in the matter, milkshake, please. You're torturing
Alex Smith 1:51
me. Why? Yeah,
Anne Kelly 1:56
why exactly, Eric, is it so important to you to choose this song of all songs?
Eric Widera 2:04
I just think it would be fun to have Alex sing it. There's no rhyme or reason.
Lynn Flint 2:08
Who is the artist who created Milkshake?
Alex Smith 2:11
That is an excellent question. I think it is Kellis. Alex is up to... He's one hip guy.
Eric Widera 2:24
Okay.
Alex Smith 2:28
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard And they're like, it's better than yours Damn right, it's better than yours I could teach you, but I'd have to charge My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard And they're like, it's better than yours Damn right, it's better than yours I could teach you, but I'd have to charge That's Greg Brown meets Milkshake.
Lynn Flint 3:04
Is Milkshake metaphorical in this song?
Alex Smith 3:07
No.
Matt Chandler 3:10
Oh. Okay.
Anne Kelly 3:12
Eric, we all hope that that moment was as special as you have hoped it would be. It was. It was. Well, you know, we're going to be talking a lot about the podcast today, but before we even start there, we know that you guys talking about Jerry Pal issues didn't start on a podcast, did it? There was another forum that you started first.
Eric Widera 3:34
We started as a blog. A blog. The main reason we started a blog is that we didn't want to wait a year until our publications got published before we started ranting on things.
Alex Smith 3:46
I remember early on, we proposed this idea of a blog. And I think, you know, as academics, most leadership, people in leadership positions would have said, that's a terrible idea. But we went to Ken Kavinsky here and asked him if we should start a blog. And he was wildly enthusiastic. Why were you enthusiastic about the idea of a Jerry Pell blog, Ken?
Ken Covinsky 4:12
Um... Well, I thought the two of you would be really good at it. Get
Eric Widera 4:21
closer to the microphone, Ken.
Ken Covinsky 4:23
So, well, I thought the two of you would be really good at it. And I thought the two of you had something to say about how the work we're doing in an academic setting could apply to the rest of the world and could use this as a setting to advocate for changing the world and making the world a better place for older people and those with serious illness.
Anne Kelly 4:46
That's one heck of a vote of confidence for these two, Ken.
Alex Smith 4:50
Well, it is. I mean, it was terrific to have support of Ken and others in leadership, including Bob Wachter, who's now our chair of medicine, who had his own blog.

How did the GeriPal podcast evolve from a blog to a full‑time podcast?

Alex Smith 4:59
um at the time and it's really sort of forward thinking and most most people would say what are you doing in academics with a blog and a podcast like you should be publishing papers or you know teaching or whatever rather than doing this but it's sort of forward thinking and it is a new way of reaching people and hopefully um you've all enjoyed it
