From Relay, this is Upgrade, episode 604 for February 23, 2026.

Today's show is brought to you by Delete Me, Claude, Insta, 360, the Pets Table. My name is Mike Hurley and I'm

joined by Jason Snell. Hi, Jason Snell. Hi, Mike Hurley. How are you? Very good, thank you. I have a

Snell talk question for you. This one comes in from Jim who wants to know Jason. When you're making a

peanut butter and jelly sandwich, do you put the jelly on the peanut butter slice or on the

bare bread slice?

Wow. This is a perennial question. I feel like I've talked about this before.

None of that matters to Snell Talks. They'll always all come around again.

People want to know for some reason what my opinion of this is. And I do like a peanut butter

and jelly sandwich. It's one of this is, and I do like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,

it's one of my favorites.

And I feel like Jim has made the classic error, the classic logical error, which is making

assumptions about what all the options are for making a peanut butter sandwich.

And he's gotten it wrong.

He's really let himself down here.

Now, while I don't have peanut

butter and jelly, I do sometimes have, like, I'll have a jam, you know, maybe I have jam on toast or something, and I will follow the same thing that you're about to say that you do, I'm sure. That's right, because we should be clear. Mike has a nut allergy. Yeah. I could have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but but it may be the last sandwich. Ah, the last. Oh, it would be a good one. That'd be a good one. I don't know. I don't know. So here's the answer, Jim. How you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is you take the peanut butter and you put a layer of peanut butter on one slice of bread,

and then you put a layer of peanut butter on the other slice of bread.

Adjust according to how much peanut butter you want.

And then you put the jelly on one or the other of those slices, or both, I guess, whatever.

It doesn't matter. They're going together again.

Why do you do this?
