Give a little time for the child within you, don't be afraid to be young and free.
Undo the locks and throw away the keys and take off your shoes and socks and run you.
It's Jordan Jesse Go, I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Greetings Jordan from beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. Scottsdale, Arizona, the city of not much.
You've relocated, right?
Because apparently in Wokifornia, you can't say anything, right?
I'm just relaying what you told to me before we started talking.
Yeah, so basically the situation is that in Gavin Newsom's California, I can't say anything or else he'll send the woke police after me.
say anything um or else he'll send the woke police after me so i've escaped here to maricopa county uh where the police are run by an insane old man who possibly died recently i can't remember
so yeah so that's great um i i still can't say anything because i'm still you know trapped in
woke-a-fornia but since you're speaking to us from scottsdale go ahead say
anything let her let her fly let's hear those takes boy um scottsdale is uh you know there's
not not a ton in scottsdale jordan there's not much to talk about i gotta get hotter i mean but
you know you can say anything talk about uh okay they ruined the MCU by bringing in Ms. Marvel.
All downtowns should have hitching posts.
Wow.
This is okay.
Downtown areas should always have hitching posts.
Spicy.
All downtowns should have elements of the Old West.
All bars should have player pianos i find that really offensive
hold on ken friedman hold on our guests on the program are the longtime hosts of the
legendary comedy radio program and podcast seven second delay uh from wMU in Jersey City, New Jersey, Ken Friedman and Andy Breckman.
Hi, Ken and Andy. How are you? Hi, Jesse. Hi, Jordan. Hi, thanks for being here.
Hi, greetings from New Jersey. You guys sound great. I don't know why you need us.
I'm just enjoying listening to you guys go. Yeah, I mean, we had a lot of stuff to talk about. For
example, I'm in Scottsdale. Second of all, there's not much going on in Scottsdale. It's a very boring place. Number three, the downtown is Old West themed.
Now, Ken and I solved the problem of wokeism by making sure no one's listening to our show.
Yeah.
That's our strategy we had relied on this that for literal decades and then someone
told gavin lewis what we were up to oh yeah he sent out a posse for you yeah he had nancy pelosi
investigate jesse let's talk about yeah you know you're in scottsdale maybe you're maybe you're not
maybe you're not you know loving the, but you're there for something fun,
right? I'm here at spring training. I have always wanted to go. I'm a huge baseball fan,
as Jordan, Jesse, go listeners know. Ken and Andy, you might not know. I have always wanted to go
to spring training. And for many years, we have a listener who worked for many years for the Texas Rangers, who train here in Arizona in the Cactus League.
And every year he would send me a nice email like in February
that would say, hey, Jesse, remember me?
I work for the Rangers.
You should come to spring training.
I'll get you on the field and I'll introduce you to players
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He was like an IT guy for the Rangers.
We're not talking about the Rangers hitting coach or something.
And I'd always say, well, I got too many kids
and it's too hard for me to get out there, but I really want to.
And then finally, this year.
All your kids went to a boarding school?
Yeah.
You sent all your kids to like one of those Swiss boarding schools? Oh, I'd You sent all your kids to one of those Swiss boarding schools?
Oh, I'd love to send my kids to one of those Swiss.
Or maybe something that's called the American School,
but it's in Nairobi or something.
Isn't it easier and cheaper to just quit caring about them?
Yeah.
It's the most affordable option.
It's so easy.
Just give them a pocket knife and some MREs.
See what happens.
Yeah, I'm off to Scottsdale.
That'd be the Scottsdale way.
Daddy's off to Scottsdale where he can say what he wants.
But yeah, this nice man, at one point,
do you remember, Jordan, on the show years ago,
we had maybe a caller called in to talk about someone
who slept in their softball pants because they thought they were comfortable? Maybe it was a guest of someone who slept in their softball pants because they
thought they were comfortable. Maybe it was a guest of ours who slept in their softball pants.
Yes. I think this was someone that a guest was dating. Yes, had softball pants.
So this guy that used to work for the Rangers, he, at one point, and it was too far after that
had taken place to cover it live on the air. But at some point he got a pair of
Texas Rangers center fielder Delano DeShields Jr.'s pants and sent them to us. And they've
just been sitting in the filing cabinet behind my desk at the office for like five years.
It was too long after that conversation had happened. And I didn't want to, what am I going to,
once you have them, it's thoughtful of him to send them.
Well, we're not used to getting a response to things we say.
We don't know what to do.
That was the first time we've ever gotten mail.
That's why the governor threw us through.
Yeah, that's why the governor threw us through.
You keep them in the corner of your office to make sure it's not a trick.
You just have to wait five years for the heat to die down.
Exactly.
It's like bank robbers not wanting to spend the money right away.
And so I finally, this guy quit the Rangers, and upon him quitting the Rangers, that's when I finally got it together to come out here to spring training.
I had a lovely time.
I've been to four baseball games in three days.
to come out here to spring training.
I had a lovely time.
I've been to four baseball games in three days.
What's great about spring training, Jordan,
is it is baseball writ large.
And the baseball's greatest quality is that there's so many baseball games
that no one baseball game matters.
And they're all similarly dull.
And here at spring training,
they only leave the regular guys in there for
like a third of the game. And then they just start putting in guys with 124 on their back.
And, uh, uh, and so the games mean even less, uh, they're even more boring and thus even more
perfect for me. I just love to sit there and just think about who is the best third
string second baseman on the Giants, Brett Wisely or Donovan Walton. You got to take on that,
Jordan? I don't. Okay. Well, Jesse, man, you should go to one of those training camps where
they don't even play baseball, where they just run around the track really slow. Oh, like a
high school track practice?
Yeah.
The one time I went to spring training, that was all I saw,
was minor league players doing distance training.
That's the, okay.
So I know this lady who works for this baseball nerd website called Fangraphs.
And she's like, oh, when are you going to be there?
I'll get you on the backfields.
And to me, this is the most thrilling thing in the world
because it's baseball minus any competition.
It's as you said, Ken, just people running around in a circle.
But the minor leaguers don't,
most of the minor leaguers don't report until next week.
And so she's not going to be there until then.
She can't get me on the backfields.
So are these teams, are these teams young kids on the rise and a mix of old guys that are burnt out and are pretty much at the end?
Andy, I'm so glad you brought that up because I'm a fan of the San Francisco Giants have brought in their 37-year-old,
overweight, former third baseman,
who's been functionally out of professional baseball
for about two or three years,
but recently played in a series of exhibition games in Dubai,
Pablo Sandoval.
And it was just an incredible,
they brought in Pablo Sandoval. He it was just an incredible they brought in pablo sandoval
uh he pinch hit in one of the games got a standing ovation has no chance of making the team
it hasn't been good in six or seven years just we love to see that love that it's spring training
just a sweet moment huh just want to see bring in a baseball player that's older than me
that's all i want there's one left rich hill rich hill put rich sign rich hill you cowards
uh is there for spring training because it matters less do they break out the goofball
shit like um mascot races and stuff like that oh that's one of the best one of the best parts of this jordan is nothing happens like i want to be clear wow there's no mascot races there's no there's barely
music like there's a little bit of music with it's just me and other old people sitting there
in our straw hats and nodding.
But aren't,
aren't,
aren't,
aren't some of them scouts?
Aren't some of them like there to,
to find,
uh,
the next star at super.
Yeah.
I saw,
I saw Albert Brooks there from the movie.
Yeah.
I remember if there was,
if there was spring training for mascots,
I'd be there in a second.
Oh, I would love that. There was a mascot. It, I went to the, um, today I went to a game at the
Cleveland guardians field, which they share with the Cincinnati reds that has, um, two distinctive
qualities. One is, you know, on some stadiums, you can see like the city skyline beyond the center field wall, you know, or you could see the river in Pittsburgh, that kind of thing.
You see the bay in San Francisco.
In Goodyear, Arizona, you can see what's called an aircraft graveyard.
Nice.
Which is just like abandoned 747s, Just like a pile of abandoned 747s.
That's where I got mine.
Yeah.
I wouldn't think that you'd be foolish enough as to purchase new.
No, no, no.
They kept changing the price on me.
Trying to sell me undercoating.
I don't need undercoating.
It's an airplane.
You lose 50 grand the second you roll it off the lot.
I do.
I've always wondered this about jet planes. This is a little digression and I apologize.
That's fine. I always wondered whenever I'm on a jet plane and it's taxiing around the airport
and on the tarmac, I always wondered if jet planes are equipped with horns, you know,
like your car, like the Pinto has, honk, honk. Does a jet plane have a horn? And no one can answer
that question. I'd like to see a jet plane pilot reach their arm out the window and squeeze one of those
Ahuga horns.
The other thing about Goodyear Stadium is it has a mascot, but he's the mascot for the
stadium.
The tire guy?
Yeah, you would think.
The one that I saw was pretty indistinct, but I was here with my friend Nick, and Nick had been here a couple of years ago, and he showed me the one that they had previously, who was much more exciting.
And I would describe him as if you peeled a banana, put a baseball jersey on it, but then also the banana is half baseball.
Okay.
So banana in shape.
Do we know what it is?
Okay.
Peeled banana in shape and color, but then a face at the top of the banana.
Like if you imagine a banana mascot for a banana company.
But with baseball stitching.
Right.
So start with the banana mascot for the banana company, but then eliminate the color yellow
because it's not yellow.
It looks more like the banana than the banana with the peel on it.
It looks like the underneath banana, the fruit.
And again, I don't want to note these people to death, but you have iconic mascot for good year and also you could just do living blimp you could do blimp with a
face that's great right jordan jordan i have written letters about this i have made calls
i did i'm just one man they won't they won't even listen make the blimp with the face and make her
real sexy after yeah you know when i finally up. It wasn't worth my time.
I decided.
Give her long legs and high heels.
I had other,
make her sexy.
I'm not,
I'm not trying to get up in your grill with this,
but I do want to ask you a question about a choice you've made.
Okay.
You mentioned before we started recording that you're,
you're,
you're doing this zoom recording from the like table.
You're like straddling a table
in an Airbnb. I'm staying in the... If you looked up sad Airbnb in a dictionary...
Right. Well, let me put it this way, Jordan. If you looked it up in Microsoft and Carta,
you would get a full motion video clip of this Airbnb that I'm in.
Okay. So let me see if I can... So what do you got? You got the decorations are just like pre-framed things from Ikea and then one of those little
wooden art dolls that you can pose. There is a bookshelf. There's a built-in bookshelf.
The built-in bookshelf has two tiny fake potted plants, a sign that looks like it would say
live, laugh, love, but actually it says no smoking
no vaping okay love no smoking no vaping and love i'm not telling you not to love just don't smoke
or vape and if you have time live and laugh if you have if you have a minute and that's all the
distinctive like this it has um you know what semi-gloss paint is?
It's like the kind of paint that you would have in your bathroom.
It's sort of shiny and wet looking.
You know what I mean?
Was this...
Are you there?
It has that...
Wait, Jordan.
It has that on every wall.
All walls are bathroom painted, and I think the reason is so that it makes it easier to
wash blood off.
Was there... Did you... room painted and i think the reason is so that it makes it makes it easier to wash blood off was there did you now are you there because there was just not a courtyard by marriott or like what what i i understand airbnb for like family vacation group vacation or you know if
it's something you know like oh this is a special thing that people have fixed up and they decorated
it but you're a solo man i you're and you solo man and you're not in that nice commuter hotel?
First of all, I shared it with my friend, Nick.
Okay. Okay.
I shared it with my friend, Nick, number one. Number two, I wanted the pool. I wanted the
kitchen. I wanted the refrigerator. I wanted the whole nine yards it turns out now i mentioned that this is a sad airbnb the pool i got in here and there's just a like a laminated printout on the wall
like taped to the wall that says pool and then it has the address of a pool that i am not making
this up is 11.6 miles away wait wait. So they advertise this thing as having a pool.
And it has access to a pool that is 11.6 miles away.
Is it a public pool or is it like someone else's pool that has agreed to let them put it on the ad?
This is insane.
Jordan, I didn't make the drive.
I should say.
By that standard, the house also has a built-in Arby's, doesn't it?
I should say. By that standard, the house also has a built-in Arby's, doesn't it?
I mean, it has a Chuck E. Cheese.
Public library, strip club, gun range.
Yeah, it has everything.
I didn't know that was allowed.
I didn't know that was the rule.
Thousands of other houses.
Wow.
I'm underselling the sign.
I feel like I'm misrepresenting this place and I should give it a fair shake.
The room does have an uncanny resemblance to the motel room from No Country for Old Men.
It is. I mean, all of Scottsdale has a No Country for Old Men vibe to it. There's there's a sort of a general feeling that you're running from something,
but you're also a little lost. But yeah, the, the, the sign Jordan that says pool 11.6 miles away.
Like, I feel like I don't want to be flip about it. I feel like I'm being flip about it. It
actually has listings for two pools.
Okay. The one that's 15 miles away is currently inaccessible.
You know what you should do? You should put on some flip-flops, put a towel over your shoulder,
and just start walking. Along the freeway.
Just along the freeway. I'd go to my pool.
This is my pool.
I bet no one's ever taken him up on it.
Just go swimming.
Forget No Country for Old Men.
I think this is a straight story situation.
I'm just going to get on a lawnmower.
Riding lawnmower.
What a reference that is.
Oh, my God.
And drive until I...
Ken and Andy, are you Airbnb guys?
Or when you're out, do you go hotel?
Well, I have a large family
and Airbnb kind of solves a few problems for us.
How large are we talking?
Well, I have three kids from a previous administration
and then I have two teenagers with Beth.
That's a total of, oh, I can't do the math on top of my head.
And then there's the secret family.
Then I have another family in Buffalo.
Oh, I can't wait for you to meet her.
No, she's wonderful.
And that's why you need a big Airbnb,
so the secret family doesn't find out about the primary family.
Exactly.
I'm so afraid they're going to meet at the pool 11 miles down the freeway.
But no, we have a big family, and then there are grandkids,
and our family loves to have sex.
We just love it.
We procreate.
And Airbnb has worked out well for us.
I've never had someone misleading me like that,
like advertising this pool and then
and then and then turns out are there photos of the pool on the listing yeah there's photos of
the pool on the listing and there's also today there's just a why don't they put photos of the
pacific ocean on the listing it's only 450 miles disneyland i mean where did they draw the line on just a mere
six hours away i really feel like these people the people who are running this airbnb
did some really heavy math with regard to how many things do you have to have in a space in order to call it a room you know what i mean like
but aren't you going to now let me ask you this i don't know you guys uh well but are you the kind
of guy that would leave a uh two-star review at the end of this are you i've been thinking about
it andy are you a yelp guy? I mean, I'm sorry. Let
me ask a follow-up question. Were there negative Yelp reviews that you ignored or dismissed for
some reason? It had decent reviews. The location is convenient, Andy. First of all, I'm going to
stipulate to the fact that the location is convenient. Okay. I'll say I'm scared. I've
been thinking like- Is the price more than competitive
is it reasonable the price was competitive but unreasonable let me put it that way
you know big spring training a lot of people are probably in town probably hard to get a hotel hard
to get an airbnb they can jack up the prices that's right spring training you're right that's
probably their peak i mean i'll jesse you you stayed in this thing we we for last year we did that like last minute trip to comic-con and pickens were
slim and we definitely the thing we found was a comparable sad airbnb that was you know
sounds like a comparable experience that one we had a lovely than this one, but yeah. I'm scared to leave a bad review. I don't want to leave a one or two star review because it is, you know, it does have, you know, there's a television, it was clean, there's a shower, there's towels. They're all like, you know, it does have like, it has like what i would call hospital style toilet paper
does that make sense yeah like toilet paper you can see through if you held it up to the light
you could see what's on the other side this reminds me of the time ken and i were on the air
and ken was doing a show he was in austin at south by southwest and i tricked him i was on
the air i was i was manning the fort back at the studio.
Yeah. And I'm a fan of sad motels. So I was at a sad motel in a dead mall 30 miles outside Austin.
I tricked him into revealing his room number. I found his room number. And we were on the air.
We're only on the air for an hour. So the clock was ticking on this. And we're on the air. And
I called the front desk. I called the front desk. I think I put the call on the air. I called the
front desk and I said, I'm really, really hearing weird things from room 706. I think he's going to
hurt himself. He's just screaming. I really am worried about this guy. And so on the air,
we heard a, we heard a, what I think the police would call a wellness check
for my partner, Ken Friedman.
Wow. Jordan, are you going to do that to me?
Yeah, he came and checked on me twice. And then even after the second time,
he just stood outside my door for another hour. I couldn't convince him that I was okay.
I mean, that's an option. I mean, Ken and I have those kinds of options because we are on the air
I mean, that's an option. I mean, Ken and I have those kind of options because we are on the air live with, you know, with the phones. We can take phone calls and we can we can interact with the with the world. So we have that option and we're not going to waste those opportunities.
Ken, you you said let's I want to investigate this. You said you like a cheap motel. I'd like to hear more.
I just always gravitate.
I don't know.
I'm just used to it now. I just gravitate towards the crappy motels far outside of town.
What are you talking about, like a Motel 6?
Yeah.
My dad was a Motel 6 man.
For some reason that Ken's never explained,
he insists that the motel rooms be soundproof.
And I don't know why.
It scares me.
I worry about it.
And semi-gloss paint in case of blood?
Yeah, exactly.
And I'm going to need a lot of bleach.
And there is a fatal flaw in my whole plan because cheap motels have the worst soundproofing.
Yeah, they do, Ken. Yeah, you got to go five-star motels have the worst soundproofing. Yeah, they do, Ken.
Yeah, you got to go five star if you really want a soundproof environment.
But it's so damn expensive.
You have the van option, Ken, which you've never, you know, have to explore sometime.
You've got that territory staked out.
I'm not going to move.
I'm not going to move into the free candy arena.
My soundproof van.
The last Motel 6 I was in, not a lot of amenities, I think,
but the one thing that they would bring to the room when they cleaned it was new soaps.
So I took all the soaps and just put them in my travel bag.
So I've had these stray Motel 6 soaps in my travel bag for probably too long.
And whenever I notice them, I'm like,
these are sharp. These are jagged. They're like arrowheads. I don't know why you need to make the
soap sharp. Maybe it's cheaper. I don't know. But yeah, it does feel like you could cut someone with
the soap if you needed to. I feel like I am caught between worlds.
The reason I am scared to...
I like a hotel.
I don't mind a motel.
But I often...
I want the kitchen and stuff.
I want kitchen access.
And I like being able to make myself some breakfast.
And that is part of the appeal of the Airbnb. But now I'm in this position where I'm in this terrible Airbnb,
and I'm scared because if you leave a bad review, the other person is leaving your review at the
same time on Airbnb. And I got a bad review some years ago in London because I left the hallway light on.
Oh, Jesse.
I know.
Yeah.
Oh, Jesse.
I think I've probably talked about this on the show before, but I got a bad Airbnb review
once and I guess somewhere in the agreement I said it was just supposed i guess somewhere in the uh agreement i said i wasn't it was just supposed
to be me in the room um it it turned out uh i i i had someone with me and then they were mad about
that they didn't address it at the time but when i got back and like checked my reviews i could say
i could i read the review and they said this in a nice way.
But essentially what they said was, we heard you fucking.
And also, how did they put it exactly?
It was something like, you know, it was in our agreement that he would be the only one occupying the room.
And needless to say, you know, it was kind of like unnecessarily highfalutin.
And needless to say,
we could hear a second party in the room
at an unreasonable hour
and just being very kink-shamey, I think.
I would have responded with just a very simple,
thank you.
I blasted really hard in your spare room.
Thank you.
Yeah, exactly.
Are you saying that your kink is for you and a partner to pretend to be one person?
Yes, exactly.
And that's how we get into R-rated movies.
We put a trench coat over ourselves.
Kids in the trench coat.
We're not making jokes about that anymore.
We've done that too much there's too many times jokes about kids in trench coats not enough two kids in one right thank you that's what we need we need real life
two kids in one trench coat we have jokes about the flintstones and now we've just been making
jokes about it on podcasts for 20 years and Jordan, my kids are homeschooled.
This is the kind of self-directed learning projects that they should be engaged in.
But it's true.
No, but it's true.
That's a trope.
That is very interesting.
I've never thought about it.
That's a trope.
Two kids on each other's shoulders in a trench coat.
You see in the movies.
You've seen the old movies.
You've seen it in cartoons.
It's Scooby-Doo.
Yeah, Scooby-Doo.
That's a great example of when that was it's one of those tropes that if you if you track it back it's based
on nothing it's never ever ever ever happened in the in this but it'd be the greatest Halloween
costume I've never seen it in real life it's exactly so where did it where did it appear
suddenly in the popular culture?
Have you guys ever seen someone wearing one of those two-person horse costumes?
What about that, where one person has the horse's butt?
They're the greatest.
They're the greatest.
Andy?
Sir?
Which one of you guys is the head of the horse and which one of you guys is the butt of the horse?
Well, it's very interesting.
It's actually a complicated relationship.
And it may kind of parallel your relationship with Jordan. Ken, my partner- First, you tell an Airbnb host that there's only one of you.
Yeah, exactly.
Then you sneak the other one in. station manager of the radio station. So our show is, I think, technically my show. I'm responsible
for the show. Correct me if I'm wrong, Kenny, but Ken is my boss. It's as if Ed McMahon owned NBC.
He's on the couch. He's the sidekick, but he writes your paycheck so ken is my boss but he's also the
sidekick it's very it's a marriage i mean it sounds to me and like you and uh you and jordan
go back how many years uh now together two or three yeah oh no i could i could tell it's six
nine months ago we what are we looking at?
We're looking at a little more than 20 years, huh, Jordan?
Almost.
Yeah, sure.
That's a marriage.
I'm telling you it's a marriage.
But you're pikers compared to me and Ken.
I mean, Ken and I, we're 31 years in.
It's a marriage, but I'll say this.
We're fucking like we're still dating.
Exactly.
Just the two of us booking Airbnb.
Pretending to be one guy. No, when I say two of us book an Airbnb. Tell me there's one guy.
No, when I say it's a marriage, Jordan, I mean, for better and for worse.
It's the good and the bad.
But it's actually.
Well, let me ask you guys this.
I don't know you guys.
Can I ask you a couple of questions?
May I?
Sure.
I don't know the protocol.
But when was the last time, Jesse, when was the last time Jordan said something that completely surprised you, that you had no idea he thought that way?
Hasn't it been a while that he would do that or that he would say that or really feel that seriously about something?
Hasn't it been a while since he surprised you?
Well, I don't know.
I just heard this story about the Airbnb,
and previously I did not know that he was into doing sex.
He didn't know he'd ever been laid.
So this is a big show then.
Yeah, so this is exciting for me.
I don't think Ken has surprised me in, i don't know well jordan you just learned
that i like baseball right that's true yeah i know yeah i feel like it is a thing where i think
you know and and and a a a a joke about the show is that we're kind of just recycling the same five
or six stories over and over again and i can can tell when Jesse is launching into one of the five stories.
Right.
He might as well just say number four, story number four.
Sure.
I'm like, oh, you were in that local commercial.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it really is.
We were both in local commercials.
And to me.
And go to those wells very often.
And I really feel you two are kindred spirits to me and Ken.
To me, there's nothing sweeter than cracking Ken up.
That's just why I make the trip every week.
It's just I completely forget.
I don't know if you guys feel the same way,
but I completely blank.
I completely forget that there are listeners,
that there are people going to be replaying it.
They're not in my head at all.
All I want to do is make Ken stop and laugh. And that's what we do every year. And make the women laugh. We once did a whole show where you were just auditioning women laughers.
Well, that's why I live, to make women laugh.
That's all I love.
That's the sweetest sound on earth.
And that's how I got through junior school,
is just trying to make girls laugh.
They wouldn't return my calls, but they would laugh.
Ken, no, I'm not trying to start beef.
That's the last thing I want.
But, Ken, do you...
How much trouble has started in the world
with those words?
My God.
Those are the most frightening damn words
I've ever heard.
Yeah, I'm not trying to start beef,
but here's something really bitchy.
Ken, do you agree with Andy's assessment
that you have kind of a sidekick role?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Okay, you're cool with that.
You're a proud sk
yeah and uh it's it's my role yeah to be the sidekicker straight man you know and i call i
prefer the term patsy but either but you can pin stuff on him yeah but ken i should also i should
also note i should also note ken does his own show a solo
show uh earlier that on wednesdays and uh in that show he has free reign and and can play all the
crappy music uh on god's earth yeah i mean we're kind of playing characters on seven second delay
i mean you know we've turned each other into a cliche into into a whole group of cliches. Well, that's true.
Probably just in life, everybody is playing a character every time you leave the house.
Thank you, Andy.
Wait, hold on, Ken.
I just want to honor Andy because you really brought some insight to this show.
Oh, and for that, I know you will never forgive me.
Yeah.
I feel like i've learned
a lot we've laughed but i've also learned a lot oh god oh god help me you know at the end of the
day andy we're all just playing characters whenever we leave the house all right i take it back
the masks we wear the masks we wear right give, tragedy. Why don't we pause and play a little Billy Joel song I like to call The Stranger.
Actually, I mean, I think it is time for a little bit of a break.
Matt, can we get Billy Joel in here?
Yeah, yeah.
I'll just email him real quick.
Play the new one.
The new one's good.
Matt.
What's up?
Text him or something.
We don't have time to wait for him to reply to any of that.
You know what?
I'm just going to walk over to his house.
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll be back in just a second.
Can you just pull while you're there?
He's only 11 miles away.
Only 11 miles.

Jordan, you know about this segment that we've been running on the program called I Read It on the Internet?
I sure do.
I love it.
One of my favorites.
Ken, Andy, I don't know if you guys know about the information superhighway, but it's full of wacky detours.
So I've heard.
Yeah.
One of them is this post that i read today you know the inspiration for i read it on the internet was a post in r slash ask los angeles the one about the
the person whose uh land whose landlord said they broke the elevator by bringing their harp on it too much.
And mostly, to be honest, most of the posts in Ask Los Angeles are just like,
I'm coming to Los Angeles. Is it too dangerous? That's like the only kind of post,
except for this. Listen to this. This was from a user hot women with a y uh why did a stranger just
randomly tried to punch me in the face in la here's wow yeah i mean jordan talk about our
three stories that we have one of mine is the time a guy punched me in the face
randomly while i was walking down the street in san Francisco. Were Reddit around then, you probably would have posted about it.
Yep. I was walking up to a restaurant to grab a bite and some random bro walks up to me and says,
don't play with me, Uncle Sam, and tries to swing. Misses badly. Just posting because curious what Uncle Sam means in L.A. in this context.
Why call me the government?
Or is that a thing white people are called these days?
Curious why he attacked me specifically.
He didn't seem high on drugs nor mental.
I started chatting with him after and he chilled out and walked away.
I started chatting with him after and he chilled out and walked away.
I started chatting with him.
This has a nice message,
a nice mess.
Like,
even though someone calls you uncle Sam and punches you in the face,
you can get to know them.
You know,
you can see where they're coming from.
Radical empathy. I'm always talking about it.
I'm always talking about it. I'm always talking about it.
This is it in practice.
Jesse and Jordan, let me ask you both something.
Who do you think has more problems and more issues in their life?
The guy, the nutty psychotic that goes up and says-
He's not, but that's the thing.
He's neither.
That guy, who has more problems in his life?
That guy or the guy that engages that guy in conversation?
You know what?
I think they both are troubled people.
You know who I think probably made this post, Andy?
Tell me.
His holiness, the Dalai Lama.
Yes.
I like how he posts under hot women.
That's the Dalai Lama's screen name.
He's a 70s feminist he spells women with a y
he is all over r slash gone wild curvy
dolly llama likes a big dumper but i mean well jesse jesse did you engage your psychotic uh
assaulter uh in conversation did you get to know him? First of all, my guy was neither high nor mental. Okay. Is he dating
your sister now? Are you exchanging
Christmas cards?
He's in the other room of Jesse's Airbnb.
They went to spring training together.
Any kids listening, no.
You run. You don't walk, you run.
I don't, Andy. I do not send him Christmas
cards, no. But during election
season, I send him a jib jab or two.
Okay.
Well, we all do.
I'm glad you're saying in touch.
Those are just fun.
This lad will surely vote for me.
You know what I like about jib jabs?
Not too partisan.
You know, it's just too much partisanship in our politics.
It's just jokes about the ideas of elections.
Yeah, just like voting, laws.
Yeah.
Pulling back that curtain and ticking off a box for America.
What are we doing?
I know.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
Somebody should bring us all together.
You know, I think if we all just took a second to take off the masks that we wear.
Yes, the masks we wear
comedy tragedy yes are you working your way toward billy joel again
you know there's a little boat called the down easter alexa that wore a mask now from what i
understand from our producer matt lieb this call is not technically a momentous occasion, but it is in a broad, momentous occasion-like bucket
in that it is a thing that happened to someone
that they called to tell us about.
Hi, Jordan Jessica Goh, and I'm guessing Emily Fleming.
Can you pause this for a second, Matt?
From now on, I want everyone to call us from laundromats.
And on lewds.
Do some lewds.
Go to the laundromat.
Give us a call.
Give us a call.
206-984-4FUN.
I need to point out that where he is while making this call is a train station and i know this because i
deleted about 75 seconds of the train voice just telling people what train is coming and he kept
that in i believe as proof that he was actually near a train i don't know why it was necessary
but sorry matt matt sorry sorry can i interject
here yes you can what what train was coming um you know i deleted the audio but jesus i you know
i could go back that's why you put it in there i it's not that it wasn't very interesting
information that people should know but it was also in multiple languages if you if you guys remember the movie the fugitive that's how they i was gonna say
this is part of how they found the guy and that's how they found richard kimball they played back
the train announcements in the background is it was it an elevated train man yes who has an
elevated train i deleted the evidence because i thought it wasn't interesting we'll never find
the one i'm gonna be the worst detective matt this show isn't interesting. We'll never find the one-armed man. I'm going to be the worst detective.
Matt, this show isn't about being
interesting. It's about catching
dangerous fugitives.
That's why we're talking about clues all the time.
This was a clue.
Alright, here.
Let's pop play the thing.
For the very first time, I
listened to Free With Ads.
Probably the best podcast of all time i i can't confirm that because it's only like two episodes so far but you know i think it's probably pretty
good um anyway this has gone on some long right alright bye
so do you think he
he did list
so Free With Ads
is your new podcast
yes we should say
Free With Ads
where we watch
weird Free With Ads
movies we find
online
but that was a genuine
love letter
that was a real fan
that was nice
although I will say
Ken and I have never
experienced a call like that
so but so it was great for us to hear i i um i like i like that he started out with the best the best
podcast ever and that he seemed to talk himself through it and then land on pretty good i guess
well he it at first it seemed like he was acknowledging that he hasn't heard all the podcasts, which is true.
Each of us only has so much time, and we have to dedicate some of it to taking on and putting off the masks that we wear.
Right, yes.
Comedy, tragedy, yes.
But-
Have you ever seen The Stranger in yourself?
That's interesting.
Yes.
Well, what I do is I sit on my hand until it falls asleep.
And then it feels like somebody else is jacking me up and two kids in a trench coat
but that was a real
a call like that would make my day
that was a guy
it was nice
he probably hadn't heard 7 second delay
I wouldn't take that bet.
Where do y'all, because it is a podcast, but it is also a radio show.
Where do y'all hear from your fans?
Is it like online?
Is it people that call?
How do the 7 Second Heads get through to you?
Well, Andy does his best to avoid them by any means necessary.
But we have a very active chat community on FMU that revolves around every program.
And then I get the emails and the phone calls.
But Andy doesn't really want to hear anything.
Like, for example, if I was in an Airbnb
one week, the last thing on earth
I would do would be announce the town
I was in.
I avoid
the listeners. I just like
to talk to Ken.
But Andy's been recognized
by his voice many times in public.
That's never happened to me.
Jesse or Jordan, have you jesse or
jordan have you ever have you ever had a stranger do a double take in public and say i know not the
face not the face i know that voice one of our stories that i think we probably haven't told in
a long time story number 12 i've told this more than once on the show, but years and years ago, we used to do, we used to do, the predecessor of this show was a community radio station, a community radio show in Santa Cruz, California, KZSC, that we used to do with our friend Gene.
Jordan and Jean were on the bus in Santa Cruz, headed to downtown Santa Cruz from the campus of UCSC. And we were joking around with each other and a guy in front of us turned and said,
excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but are you guys the sound of young America?
And we said, which was what the show was called. And we said, yes, wow, we are. That's incredible.
Like we did never met. We had had never didn't know we had listeners
or fans and uh we said wow do you you listen you listen to the show and he's like i listen
every week and we're like wow you you must be a big fan and he said um i'm homeless and my radio
only gets one channel that is a real story that really happened i would take that i that's that's good enough
i would i would take that that's a good business strategy yeah did you know jordan i what i was
going to say is did you know that one of our past guests on this program used to work for ken and
andy i did not know that who was it and not only did this past guest used to work for Ken and Andy. I did not know that. Who was it? And not only did this past guest used to work for slash with Ken and Andy,
Ken and Andy got her in trouble with the New York Times.
Let's hear it.
Let's hear the tale.
I'm going to throw to Ken here because I think he knows to whom I am alluding.
Well, you're talking about our producer, Andrea.
Yeah, Andrea Salenzi. Yeah.
You're talking about Andrea Salenzi, who was a producer on 7 Second Delay. Andy called her Ange.
And she was a big part of the show for a number of years there and then went on to do her own great podcast, YOY. And we pranked the New York Times column known as the Metropolitan Diary, which is just
the most horrible piece of New York Times-y and old fuddy-duddery that you can imagine
about interesting observations that people have made on the Upper East Side.
You know, most of these people are 90 years old. So we decided one week to devise the perfect Metropolitan Diary column. And with the
listeners, we composed the perfect Metropolitan Diary column, and then Andrea submitted it.
And that's right. It was an entry. You know, these are just like funny things. Old retired
teachers overheard on the streets of New York, and then they submit to the New
York Times.
So there's a column, yeah, Metropolitan Diary.
And we didn't have the balls, Ken and I didn't have the balls to submit it using our own
name.
So we, I'm not proud of this.
I'm not, this isn't my finest hour, but we got Andrea to submit this to the New York Times, a bogus,
it was in effect a bogus news article to the New York Times.
It was a bogus news article that revolved around a little kid on a bus on the Upper East Side.
But still, it crossed the line.
It violated their protocols.
It was, okay.
Oh, of course it did.
Of course it did.
What was it? What was the story? It was a joke on, of course it did. It was okay. What was it?
What was the story?
It was a joke on the phrase to short, to short sell.
So it's a little kid.
This is all made up.
A little kid on the Upper East Side who overhears people talking about short selling.
And then the little kid says to his mom, why would they want to sell their shorts?
That was our little joke.
That was the joke.
It was as lame as anything else they used.
However, we didn't have the guts.
We weren't men enough to submit it using our names.
This is horrible.
And so we had our PA, our assistant,
submit it under her name,
and there were ramifications.
Who was?
She was a college student at the time.
She was a college student.
Wait, where was she going?
The New York Times did fact-checking
and they actually called her up
and of course in the great fact-checking tradition
checked some idiotic facts
that had nothing to do with anything and she lied.
But suddenly the New York Times got,
you know, a bug up its ass about this.
Well, because we did a radio show about it.
Oh, okay.
That's true.
That's right.
We compelled the VR.
You left a trail of breadcrumbs.
The New York Times happened to be listening to your radio show, heard the list of train
stations.
We committed a crime, then turned on the microphones and bragged about it for an
hour. The stupidest thing ever. But anyway, this poor girl, the Times called the dean of her school
at college, right? Was it Swarthmore? Where was it, Ken? It might have been Wesleyan.
Oh, Wesleyan. She was called in and threatened. I mean, she crossed the line. She submitted a
bogus news article to the New York Times and then swore by it because we had asked her to.
So I felt very guilty about it.
Oh, the editor for the New York Times was such a dick about the whole thing.
It was unbelievable.
And then we had him on the third week.
It was a three-part show.
The third week finally.
We milk these goats until the tit falls off the goat.
But I felt terrible because she was scared to death.
She thought her college career and her future career in radio and broadcasting was over.
She had been researching possibly getting,
she was a great student, actually,
and she had been researching getting a Fulbright scholarship.
And this horrible, vindictive New York Times editor,
the editor of the Metropolitan Times.
No, it was us, Ken, Kenny.
He threatened to take away her Fulbright scholarship.
I know, I know.
Kenny, there were three dicks in this story.
There were three dicks in this story.
I hope you're not counting me.
Ken, Ken, there's Dick Andy, and there's Dick Ken,
and then there's this dick guy from the Times.
We've got to step up.
It was uncool.
The mistake that she made, as far as I'm concerned,
is that she went to Wesleyan.
Jordan and Matt and i all went to
uc santa cruz we don't have deans there's just a guy named boner in a field wearing one of those
jamiroquai hats yeah in hindsight in hindsight it was her fault to go to wesleyan hey uh that
actually gives me a uh that reminds me uh matt would you call in some bomb threats for me
exactly again exactly yeah yeah but no, it would be this.
Every week.
We went to UC Santa Cruz, Jordan.
Matt, could you call in some bong threats for me?
All right.
I haven't met a bong that threatened me yet.
The parallel would be, Matt, would you call in a bomb threat?
Make sure you use your full legal name, Matt,
and then we're going to do a show about it next week.
That's the parallel. That's how big a couple of dicks we were.
But the good news is Andrea is now a much more successful podcaster than anyone present.
Yes, I know. She landed on her feet and doesn't return our calls, and that's life.
Boys and girls, that's how life works.
What I like about seven second delay jordan
they come up with an idea every week how many ideas have we come up with in 15 years of i'll
come up with one i'm gonna okay i'll do it just wait it's gonna oh it's gonna be such an idea
oh i can feel it coming. Oh, here it comes. Bone threat.
Jordan, text me.
Text me when it happens.
Well, that is actually our mandate that we've given ourselves.
We have a live show.
We take calls.
And we call it stunt radio.
We try to do something different, something that we've never done before and something we've never heard anyone else do before.
We sometimes take calls.
I mean, we take calls, but I mean, the premise of each show is original and we try to make it different every week.
And, you know, we've been doing this, as I say, for 30 years and it's not every show is a success.
We probably bat, you know, to use a baseball metaphor, Jesse, we're not heading for the show.
You know, we're batting 140, you know,
but when the show works, it's really fun.
And when it's a train wreck, it's equally fun, at least for me.
Yeah, some people really love the train wrecks.
But we've had...
Ken said ruefully.
Hey, Matt, you want to help me derail some trains?
I hear people love that.
Let's do it.
All right.
Me and Matt are going to head down to the train tracks.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse, go.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Just a second on Jordan, Jesse go.
Max fun drive 2024.
Max fun drive.
What about it?
It'll be the best time for someone to support the podcasts they love.
Oh yeah.
Drive exclusive gifts, special events, and of course, all the amazing bonus content.
Yeah.
So what's on your mind? Check.
It starts March 18th and it's only two weeks long.
And check.
Well, what if they miss it?
Well, they should follow MaxFun on social media or sign up for the newsletter at MaximumFun.org slash newsletter so they don't miss it.
Otherwise, checkmate.
It's hard to explain what happens on Jordan, Jesse, go. So I had my kids do it.
Saying swear words.
Saying swear words.
Yeah.
Bad jokes. Bad Yeah. Bad jokes.
Bad jokes? Bad jokes.
Maybe it's like you
tell people that you're going to interview
them and then you just
stay there like
really quiet
and try and creep them out.
It's just really
boring. Because of Jordan, right?
Not me? Because of both of you. Oh. Subscribe of Jordan, right? Not me?
Because of both of you.
Oh.
Subscribe to Jordan, Jesse Go.
A comedy show for grown-ups. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
It's Jordan, Jesse Go.
I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Ken Friedman, Red Sea pedestrian.
And I am Ken's fifth best friend.
I lost a little ground since we last talked.
Andy Breckman.
Oh, no.
Yeah, the last segment didn't go as well as Ken had expected it to.
Jordan, I have something important to share.
Ooh, I love important things.
And sharing.
Do you know our bumper stickers that we made that say, keep honking,
I'm listening to Max Fund's long running nonsense podcast, Jordan, Jesse, go.
Some of the best bumper stickers. Well, we made an offer that we would, if people sent us
$5 cash and a self-addressed stamped envelope, we would send them one of these bumper stickers.
I paid for these bumper stickers to be printed and then realized that I had no good plan for how to sell
them. Um, uh, because we, everything in our store right now is print on demand. So there's no
shipping. So it was like self-addressed stamped envelopes is the only way out of this. And then
I realized I better juice it up a little bit if I want people to actually take these things off my hands.
So I said I would give the money to charity.
So for the last several months, I have spent roughly 18 hours each week opening envelopes, licking envelopes and folding bumper stickers in half.
This is the result.
I said, not only would we give the $5 to charity,
but anybody who gave anything in excess of $5,
I would match their donation.
All the money goes to an organization called Al Otro Lado,
who do direct services on both sides of the US-Mexico border.
And I said, anybody gives you send in
five bucks, we'll, we'll give it to charity, every penny of it. And if you send in more than that,
I'll match whatever you, whatever you send in, that which 890 was money that I matched. So we sent payments to El Otro Lotto
now totaling $2,845, Jordan. $2,845. And then we also said we would each donate a dollar for each
person who shared a picture of
their bumper sticker on social media with the hashtag JJGo. So I think each of us has to make
a $2 donation. You know, listen, did the social media campaign go as well as we had hoped? No.
I haven't seen the numbers. I'll kick in $100.
Now we're talking.
That puts us up to $2,945 to Alotrolalo.
I'll match that $100.
Whoa.
Thank you, Andy.
That puts us over $3,000.
Now, Ken.
But you know, that's...
Yeah, now Ken.
That's right.
Now Ken.
Now Ken, you created a beloved long-running television show, right?
The residuals are rolling in for you.
Yeah, put me down for 100 as well.
Okay.
You know, Ken and I, this goes to the heart of the difference between our two shows, our two operations.
Ken and I, a few years ago, we were out on the street with our bumper stickers, going up to cars at intersections and offering to pay them.
This is true. Pay them $5 if we could put our bumper sticker on their car.
How many people did you get the bumper sticker?
We got a few. They took the $5. But that's how desperate we are back in Jersey City.
You paid a lady $5 to put the bumper sticker on her butt.
Yes.
That was the highlight of the show.
Yes, I'm afraid it was.
Like I said, not every show is a home run.
Not every show is a dinger.
Thanks for using the baseball metaphors for me.
It really helps me understand your ideas.
And as long as we're one-upping here,

I know that we have many longstanding overlapping listeners.
There are many WFMU fans in the Jordan Jesse Goh audience.
Jordan, you might think it's just
Smart Bunny, but it's not just
Smart Bunny. Smart Bunny's only
one of many. She's just
the only one that happens to live in an apartment
building next door to the apartment
building where Max Fun is based.
Yeah, I know Smart Bunny.
Everybody knows Smart Bunny.
Andy, you know Smart Bunny.
I can't recall off the top of my head. Andy, you know Smart Bunny. I can't recall off the top of my head.
You know, Andy, you know Smart Bunny.
But what I love about America,
many things I love about America,
is they don't have to choose between Maximum Fun and WFMU.
They don't.
They can enjoy both.
And they don't have to choose between being smart
and being a bunny.
That's right.
Porque no los dos.
