About this episode

In this episode, Kelly Cardenas surprises his friends by calling them live on the podcast, capturing authentic and spontaneous conversations.

You Have to Meet My Friends Amanda Vegas answered and her is the link that you will all be asking for! Click here I had an idea recently that felt either incredibly brilliant… or like the beginning of a mild public humiliation. Honestly, the jury is still out. So here’s what I started doing: I go live on my podcast , scroll through my phone, randomly call my friends, and they have absolutely NO idea they’re about to be on a podcast. No warning. No prep. No “Hey, do you have a few minutes?” text. Just me out here risking lifelong friendships for content 😅 The series is called You Have to Meet My Friends and somehow it has turned into one of my favorite things we’ve ever done. Now let me be clear… sometimes this thing goes sideways FAST. Sometimes nobody answers. And there is truly nothing more humbling than staring into a camera while your phone rings six times and goes straight to voicemail. It’s basically a live-action reminder that everybody’s “brother” until they’re in a Costco parking lot ignoring your call. But then… Somebody picks up. And that’s when the magic happens. Because what comes out of these conversations is real life. No polished interview voice. No rehearsed…
