Is That Your Final Chicken? A Conversation with Rich Sirop

Ever wonder what it’s like to run Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? My guest this week, Rich Sirop, was Co-Executive Producer of the show — and my Associate Producer back when I sat in the hot seat. He’s also been at the helm of countless other TV projects.We talked about working with Regis and Meredith, shared behind-the-scenes memories, and had plenty of laughs. Rich also opened up about his current podcast and coaching work — and of course, we tackled the ultimate question: would you rather face one horse-sized chicken or 100 chicken-sized horses? 🐔🐴Most importantly, Rich shared his strategy for frying his chickens — and making sure they stay fried — a lesson you can take with you long after the laughs.Tune in for stories, humor, and insights you won’t want to miss on Fry Your Chickens with Phil Barth.HIGHLIGHTS:1:31 – How Rich got his start on Millionaire3:35 – What it was like to work with Regis5:02 – What it was like to work with Meredith Vieira11:00 – The difference between a celebrity and the average person on the street.11:25 – The dessert that has red sand.12:50 – Judge Puppet15:20 – Rich Sirop Coaching18:57 – Rich’s chicken frying strategy23:40 – Rich’s roller coaster analogy24:50 – The Living Rich Sirop podcast27:15 – The Big Question – one horse sized chicken or 100 chicken sized horses?32:50 – Becoming an expert in a useless skill – what would you choose?34:40 – What chicken Rich fries / our core emotional needs35:53 – Final words of wisdom Links: https://www.richsiropcoaching.com/Judge Puppet – the Bankrupt Tooth Fairy:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ium_RS2lat4&t=2sRich’s podcast links:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/living-rich-sirop/id1822846595https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5TnCuC68koMCHvf43Ge-eCp8GyhhXL3_ Find Rich here!:https://www.youtube.com/@RICHSIROPCOACHINGhttps://www.tiktok.com/@richsirophttps://www.instagram.com/richsiropcoaching/https://www.facebook.com/rsirop/
