Eli praises Kevin's dedication and considers him one of his best clients. Later, Liberty calls in to discuss the annoyance of people singing the Liberty Mutual jingle whenever she introduces herself. The podcast offers various strategies to handle this situation, including using a fake name or simply saying "Liberty, not mutual" when the jingle starts. Megan calls in to seek advice on how to get her husband to close his car door. Despite her repeated requests, he consistently leaves it open, even in inclement weather.
