Give a little time for the child within you, don't be afraid to be young and free.
Unto the locks and throw away the keys, and take off your shoes and socks and run you.
I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart.
And I'm Jordan Morris, boy detective.
And this is...
Jordan, Jesse, go!
Icicles, tricycles, ice cream, candy, lollipops, popsicles, licorice sticks,
Solomon, friendly, maggoty, edgy, twiddly, dumby, we're joined by Nick Thune for a discussion of the Thanksgiving holiday and more.
Let's go.
It's Jordan, Jesse Go. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Cool, beautiful evening in Los Angeles.
Jordan, for some reason, wearing what looks like maybe a cotton sweater.
Oh, yeah, I am ill-prepared, ill-prepared for the cool weather.
Now, your justification for this, to me, Jordan,
by the way, our guest on the program,
the brilliant stand-up comedian, Mr. Nick Thune.
Nick Thune.
Thank you. Thank you so much. From the Jay Leno show, of course. Yeah, that's where I got my comedian, Mr. Nick Thune. Nick Thune. Thank you. Thank you so much.
From the Jay Leno show, of course.
Yeah, that's where I got my start, yeah.
You probably know him from his comedies
across this great nation.
Jordan, I didn't broach the subject
when you said it to me, really, at my front gate.
Sure.
Because I felt like it was something we should air out rich a rich uh rich vein you could mine so i was surprised because it is genuinely
cold outside this is like a los angeles sweater yeah yeah like it but it is it's it's maybe 50
degrees outside and very windy lots of wind yeah and it may be it may be high 40s like it is
genuinely cold yeah it's brisk.
It's still clear skies, too, which almost, you know.
Yeah.
It's a serious situation out there.
Now, I was surprised that Jordan looked like he was about to freeze and die in a very thin cotton sweater.
I saw eight people wearing scarves on the drive here.
Were you counting?
Yeah.
You keep a clicker on him.
I like, yeah.
Like an umpire.
I always keep track of scarves.
No, yeah.
Once I see 10, I know it's okay for me to wear one.
Oh, it's like an OCD thing.
Okay.
Oh, I thought it was like a train spotting thing.
Just to pass the time.
Yeah, just like something to do.
You go down to the scarf yards, see if you see any new models.
Number 10, I've got mine ready to go at all times.
Jordan, you were up there, and I was surprised surprised i said god jordan you look cold and uh you're like yes i am cold or something
to that effect sure and i said gosh i mean just another classic example of our witty banter so
people ask us if we're like that off mic we are so my assumption i, was that maybe you had been working today or something like that.
Sure.
And you dressed for a daytime, but it was cold at night.
But then I thought, oh, but it was cold today, too.
Sure.
And I made a remark to that effect.
And you said, oh, yeah, I didn't know it was cold today because I only recently left the house.
But that doesn't explain, because once you go outside, you can come back and put on a
jacket.
I have a pretty, here's what I think happened.
Here's the idea.
Do you own a jacket?
I do have a jacket.
Okay.
Somewhere.
It occurred to me that you might not have a jacket.
That's, yeah, not an unsafe assumption.
If we could get a jacket sent out here.
Oh, man, that'd be great.
My freshman year roommate in college, Mike, didn't own pants.
He had to buy some pants to go to dinner at his grandma's.
Short guy?
Yeah, shorts only.
I have a pretty powerful little space heater in my house that has been blaring.
Is that something that they...
I mean, is that like a new technology, a space heater?
No, no. Yes, this is a new technology of space heater? No, no.
Yes, this is a freeze-dried heater.
It does not go into space.
Oh.
Yeah.
It heats space.
It heats the space around me.
I'm just going to play dumb guy that doesn't know anything.
Okay, sure.
That's great.
That's a great character.
That's why we brought you in here.
We know about your character work.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, we don't want you using this podcast Just to hone your SNL audition
Okay
It's nine months out
I'm trying to get ready
Whoa Nick
Hold on
I'm getting pretty tired of tall guy
Okay
Can we talk to gay clown
Am I doing tall guy now
You're doing tall guy
They're all so similar
Ease off the throttle Dana Carvey
Anyways I have It's a mighty space heater.
Uh-oh.
Oh, boy.
Something happened.
Yeah, there we go.
Now we're cool.
I'm saying it's a mighty space heater.
It really warmed me up.
I was wearing kind of relaxation clothes around the house.
Basketball shorts, maybe a sleeveless.
Yeah, yeah.
And a caveman toga over that. You know, like Fred Flintstone style. Yeah, yeah. And a caveman toga over that.
You know,
like Fred Flintstone style. Yeah, something mid-thigh.
Yeah, yeah. That's because you killed a
bear last weekend and you're just excited to
finally get to wear a tie. I know, I know.
It's like, alright, we get it, Jordan.
You killed a bear. It's pretty cool, though.
And you're like, I tanned it, too.
Sure. It's a process. What are you gonna
do with the rug?
Man, I tanned it, too. Sure. It's a process. What are you going to do with the rug? Oh, man.
I don't know.
I have so many animal skins in my house already.
Also, but the good news is so many fireplaces as well.
I do have a lot of fireplaces.
One per?
Yeah, yeah.
I think I'm just going to switch out the giant spot.
Hence the space heater you're using.
Yes.
A lot of sensual occasions also.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yes, with which to appear nude on them.
Yeah, so podcast time rolled around.
I got dressed.
I was feeling very hot.
My inner temperature had heated up from a long day of watching movies and playing video games in front of the space heater.
I'd heated up from a long day of watching movies and playing video games in front of the space heater.
And then it kind of only occurred to me, you know, as I was getting out of the car,
maybe I was, this heat I was feeling was going to wear off when there's no space heater around. Did you just jam the heat in your car too, right when you got in?
Yeah, I mean, I kind of alternated the heat and air.
Blast the heat, blast the air.
That's what I'm all about.
Extremes.
Yesterday I figured out how to turn the butt warmer on in my car.
I don't know that I knew that I had a butt warmer, but then I saw it and thought
I think that's a butt warming knob. Lower back or just butt? Oh, butt and
lower back. That's nice. The whole situation. Taint?
Yeah, sure. Somewhere in the middle. It depends on the placement of my scrote, but yes.
In theory.
By the way, I think that whole Jordan's outfit bit that we did at the top of the show here,
I think that's another in our continuing series of segments.
Jesse is pretty sure he's Jordan's mom.
Sure, yeah.
If you have anything you'd like to relay to my bosses at work on Monday, just pin a little note to my sweater.
And then we'll be sure that my bosses know if I have a runny nose or if I have some medication to take.
Or if you can leave early.
Yeah, or if I can leave early because our grandma died.
Oh, wow.
Our grandma that we mutually share.
Yes.
Guys, actually, I have a subject
Okay, I want to hear about it
This has been bothering me
Oh gosh
First movie, Meet the Parents
Sure
Second movie, Meet the Fockers
Two Oscars
Yes, that's two Oscars
Wait, I'm sorry
Third movie, forthcoming, Little Fockers.
Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Little Fockers.
When we are referring to the trilogy, which we will probably all have to in future film studies classes.
The Fockers trilogy?
Well, is it the Fockers trilogy or is it the Parents trilogy?
is it the Fockers trilogy or is it the parents trilogy?
Because Fockers appears in two of them,
but then that maybe will lead people to think that you're not talking about meet the parents.
But if you say parents trilogy,
are they,
do people automatically include the two Fockers movies?
Well,
they're actually,
they,
there is another movie that they're working on now that's in the script
stage called fuck the parents.
Okay.
Um,
what's your inside info on this well i i i'm in the industry
i don't mean to be rude nick i know that you've dabbled in the industry as well and i'm deep
inside it i'm inside the game i'm basically i'm like the michael bay of knowing about scripts? Of knowing about scripts. In that mostly just really loud noises.
You know about scripts very loudly.
Yeah.
I think, do you think that the implied swearing sort of overpowers the fact that parents is the initial, was the seed?
I don't know.
was the seed. I don't know. I'm just, I'm like, I'm confused because I'm going to want to talk to people about
you know, this set of movies as a whole like you talk
about the Star Wars films. Yeah, like what are you going to tell your children? Yeah, right, exactly.
What's the box set called, I guess? Is Owen Wilson in Little Fockers?
Owen Wilson, yeah. I saw the trailer for Little Fockers recently. Owen Wilson
seems to have a pretty big part he does like some
sort of weird Vulcan death grip on a child too
that seems pretty funny
I am really ready
to enjoy Owen Wilson
I'd like to
number one I never left Owen Wilson's side
I didn't go see any of his terrible movies
I guess but I've always been
a big Owen Wilson supporter as I am
with all the Wilsons. I think
people remember my support of Luke Wilson,
my continuing support. And
Lord knows that I'm a big supporter of Andrew Wilson.
Oh, yeah. Well, who isn't?
Nancy Wilson. Yeah, Nancy
Wilson. Brian Wilson, the pitcher, and the...
Both the pitcher and the...
But particularly the pitcher from
the world champion San Francisco Giants.
I wonder if Owen's affected by the AT&T commercials that Luke did.
I wonder if that brings his stock down a little bit.
If that brings his IMDb star meter down.
Well, do you think, what about this?
Do you think that when one of them does something for money,
the other one gets 10% because it tarnishes both of their images a little bit?
And do you think that's the money that Andrew Wilson lives off of?
I'd like to hope so.
I feel like if they have that sort of arrangement,
then Owen Wilson is like banking some fuck you points
against Luke Wilson,
just to like throw in his face at the family reunion.
Not that I don't, you know,
it seems like he's just made worse career choices.
I wonder who's more likable in person
between Owen and Luke.
I mean, it's got to be like a likability festival every time you're around him.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I mean, just so much fun.
Well, I mean, I think...
Positivity.
Yeah.
Pats on the back.
Uh-huh, charm.
Suicide attempt.
I'm just throwing that in there because that is one concern when you're discussing which one is...
Sure.
You can't go high unless you can go low.
Right.
And I think that's Luke Wilson basically in a nutshell.
Yeah, absolutely.
By the way, we know a lot about Luke Wilson's suicide attempt that we haven't told you to this point.
Yeah.
But we're deep inside Hollywood.
What do you guys know?
He tried to commit suicide.
Oh, we as a whole.
Yeah, we collectively.
Oh, okay.
You also know about it.
Yeah, I know.
Nick, I know.
You're in Hollywood, too.
Do you remember how you know about it? Oh, that. You also know about it. Yeah, I know. Nick, I know. Do you remember how you know about it?
Oh, that Owen Wilson.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
By the way, I'm working on my character, Deep Inside Hollywood Guy.
I like it.
Yeah.
We could do that, and I could play dumb guy, and then that'll make you feel more important.
Right.
Right.
Status.
Status games, my friend.
Status.
Jordan, you can watch.
Okay.
I mean...
He could be the waiter that kind of pops in every now and again.
Right, he comes in and he's...
He could be the exasperated waiter.
What about Gassy Penguin?
That's my signature character. Do you think
he'll fit in with your guys' dynamic?
Hey, I don't see why not. He doesn't talk,
does he? He's just gassy. Yeah, he burps
and farts. Burps?
He's a burper. He's a burp.
Isn't burp his catchphrase?
It is.
Gassy penguin.
Yeah.
Burp.
When we come up with the plush, when you squeeze it, it'll say burp.
Yeah.
And in the cartoon strip upon which Gassy Penguin is based, there's always those pictures
of him and he's got the fart coming out of his butt and the burp coming out of his mouth
and then it just says burp.
Yeah. Now, I'm playing guy that doesn then it just says, barp. Yeah.
Now, I'm playing guy
that doesn't know a lot here right now.
Sure.
So forgive me,
but have you talked to
a guy that knows a lot about the industry
about maybe making this into
a motion picture deal?
Oh.
Jordan, I'm a guy that knows a lot about the industry.
Sure.
And I'm a very gassy penguin.
I recently ate a fish filled with beans.
Okay, act one, done.
Yeah, that's it. We have a pretty fair
number of cartoonists in the audience. I think we're
going to get some gassy penguin pics.
I can only hope so. Right? Sure.
With Barb. I can already see Barb.
You know, this brings it around. As I've mentioned
multiple times on this program, I once
auditioned to be the voice of Marmaduke
in the Marmaduke movie,
a role that later went to Owen Wilson.
Right.
Now, do you think we can trick Owen Wilson
into thinking he's going to get the job
in the CGI 3D Gassy Penguin movie,
and then it goes to me,
so he knows what it feels like?
Now, if you had a choice between Owen and Luke
for that role, you would go with Owen.
I mean, it's me.
It's my signature character.
So I don't think
either of them will play it.
Oh, okay.
Maybe they can be
the humans in the movie.
Maybe we could set him up
for an audition
and you beat him out for it.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of the idea
because he did the same thing to me.
Yeah.
Out of spite,
I can only imagine.
So I think I just want
the Wilson family to know how it feels.
To feel pain, yeah. To be so close
to what you've always wanted. To maybe push another
suicide attempt. Yeah, sure.
Let's go for three.
When I was in high school,
I auditioned to be Max Fisher in
Rushmore. Oh. This is how the audition
went. They were doing a nationwide
talent search. I remember, I saw that
in the extras on the DVD. Yeah, they were doing a nationwide talent search. I saw that in the extras on the DVD.
Yeah, they were doing a nationwide talent search.
It was just for a Bill Murray movie.
And at the time, I think his most recent movie was Operation Dumbo Drop.
So this was not a high point in Bill Murray's career.
And I went in with a couple of other friends from the theater school that I attended at
the time.
And they pointed at me and said, too tall.
And I left.
And you couldn't have been any other student.
But I still resent Jason Schwartzman to this day.
Yeah.
Because it later came out, became one of my probably three favorite movies ever.
And then I realized, oh, shit.
That's that fucking Bill Murray Operation Dumbo Drop movie that I auditioned for
And I still
When you were at the audition you were hoping it was
Operation Dumbo Drop 2
Yeah I mean Jason number one
Jason Schwartzman was fantastic in the role
Great movie
Number two to be frank at the time while I was only 16 years old
I was 6 feet 1 inch tall
And uh
Refilled out
And no I was gawky
I was very gawky
But you know
I was
I was too much taller
Than Bill Murray
To stand next to him
And look like a teen
How tall is Bill Murray?
I think he's a mid-sized man
I think he's
You're talking about 5'10
Or something like that
And Jason Schwartzman
Was fantastic at the film
I turned out to love the film
I still
This is 10 years later I still kind of see Jason Schwartzman was fantastic at the film. I turned out to love the film. I still, this is 10 years later,
I still kind of see Jason Schwartzman
and I'm like, oh, you stole my shot
with your elaborate Coppola party routine
and you're wearing a making your own blue blazer.
That's right.
They show his audition in it
and he made his own jacket.
When the reality is that I was not qualified for the role.
Did he have a jacket on hand and he just thought, oh, I'll just make this up real quick?
Or did somebody go buy him?
I mean, what really happened there?
If you ask me, Talia Thayer, his mother from Rocky, went and bought him a jacket.
Who is she in Rocky?
She's the girlfriend.
Really?
Yeah.
What's her name?
Adrian?
Adrian.
I had no idea. From Rocky. Oh, wow. That changes her name? Adrian? Adrian. I had no idea.
From Rocky.
Oh, wow.
That changes a lot.
Yeah, she's a Coppola.
He's a Coppola.
They're all Coppolas.
I didn't know she was a Coppola.
No, she's a Coppola.
Oh, wow.
How'd she get mixed up with Stallone?
She's a Coppola by marriage, I think.
Oh, Rocky's Coppola?
Yeah.
Oh, not movie marriage.
No, Rocky's not a Coppola.
Real life marriage.
Rocky's a fictional character.
You're right. Oh, guy movie marriage. No, Rocky's not a copula. Real life marriage. Rocky's a fictional character. You're right.
Oh, guy who doesn't know things.
You strike again.
I can't help it.
I was watching Bored to Death the other day, and I was enjoying Jason Schwartzman's performance, as I do, and I realized, like, this is a time in my life when I have to let go of this resentment for this opportunity that I've really only imagined myself having.
Yeah, but you really build yourself up when you go out for a big movie like that.
You start to even think you got it, you know, and you start imagining what life would be like.
And certainly in the second or two between when I walked in the door with three or four other people and when they pointed at me and said, sorry, you're too tall.
I knew that I was going to star in a film
that would go on to become
one of my favorite films of all time.
Which was?
Rushmore.
Okay.
Was it crushing?
Sorry.
Oh, is my thing okay?
Yeah, you just got to not touch it.
Okay.
Oh, now it's off.
Now I'm talking.
Barp. Barp. Barp'm talking. Yep. Barp.
Yep.
Barp.
Barp.
Penguin.
Yep.
What is that?
Clip help?
Okay.
There we go.
Is that good?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Do you think you would enjoy the movie more or less if you were in it?
I think I would probably enjoy it more if I was in it, Jordan.
For one thing, I would have been paid handsomely.
Yeah.
Would you still have the podcast,
do you think, if you were in that movie? That's a good question.
I might have become...
Frankly, I'm probably not as talented
as Jason Schwartzman.
He would probably have the podcast, but
his co-host would be Chloe Savigny.
It would be more like that... I'd be on that podcast.
It would be more like that guy, Ben, that we
went to college with, who was on The Secret Life
of Alex Mack a little bit and played young Pat in its Pat the Movie.
That would be my career, more than a Jason Schwartzman type career.
Do you think you'd still be living in this place?
Yeah, I'd probably still be living in this place.
Yeah.
No, that part, yeah.
Absolutely.
Sure.
Why not?
I probably would have made it into Operation Dumbo Drop 2 also.
Did they do it too?
They would have.
They would have, yeah.
With the clout from Rushmore.
And you're in Bill's relationship, obviously, after the movie.
Yeah, and me and Bill's.
Everyone was saying...
Chemistry that would have been so easy.
We need another Murray Thorne vehicle.
I mean, I bet...
Would you think he would have been maybe a guest on your podcast
if you had done that movie with him?
He would have been sitting in Jordan's chair right now.
Yeah.
This podcast would be hosted by me and Bill Murray,
not me and Jordan. Sorry, Jordan. I just wouldn't have gone to college because i would have
been to become a successful actor when i was still in high school i get it nick do you have any we've
we've talked about roles that we have have narrowly just narrow that have narrowly uh evaded our
grasps that we weren't qualified for do you do you have anything do you have do you have the one that
got away um parks and rec oh parks and rec uh wow chris pratt the one that got away? Parks and Rec. Oh.
Parks and Rec.
Wow.
Chris Pratt.
The role that he has.
But I think he's really funny.
He's so good, right?
I was bitter about him for the first season.
Right.
And why wouldn't you be?
And then the second season came around.
I really enjoyed him a lot.
Because he's really good.
Yeah.
Really funny.
It stinks when they're good because then you're like, oh, shit.
And I remember seeing him in the audition room.
And there was somebody else.
I probably shouldn't say who else was in it.
Maybe they don't want everyone to know that they didn't get the part.
But I remember in the waiting room just looking and thinking like, oh, yeah.
It was Richard Simmons.
Yeah, Richard Simmons.
They were going to go a different direction.
Yeah.
They were looking at all different types.
We want to go a kind of different, gayer direction is what they said.
Kind of a creepy, middle-aged madman.
Yeah, that would go,
that would be actually
a good way for that show to go,
I would imagine.
Creepy middle-aged madman?
They're coming back in January, right?
The Parks and Rec show?
Yeah, they are coming back
in January.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, me too.
They got our friend Adam Scott
is going to be on that program
regularly, I think.
Yeah, he came on
at the end of that
as the auditor or something.
Something like that.
Yeah.
I don't know,
but he's fantastic.
Yeah, really.
He's great.
A lot of great people
involved in that television program.
If you were on it,
you'd get to hang around
all the world's hottest comedy babes, too.
Yeah.
Believe me,
I've thought about that.
They really loaded that show up
with comedy babes.
Sure.
It kind of took all the comedy babes
for their show.
Nick Offerman alone,
I mean,
what a babe.
That guy is a babe.
Quite a babe. Have you ever a babe. Quite a babe.
Nick, have you ever auditioned for something like Jordan was describing with Marmaduke?
Because this Marmaduke thing, everyone that we know auditioned to be Marmaduke.
Al Madrigal was over here auditioning to be Marmaduke one time.
Sure.
After I interviewed him for the San Diego America or something, he's like,
hey, can I record a quick Marmaduke audition?
Like, I don't see why not.
And so a lot of people auditioned for Marmaduke.
And then they just ended up hiring Owen Wilson.
Have you ever auditioned for a role where they just ended up hiring, like, Tom Cruise or something like that?
Like a big star?
I'm trying to think.
I know that, well, it was kind of before Jesse Eisenberg was big, but Zombieland.
Oh, yeah.
No, no.
Eisenberg had some heat going into that. Yeah, because he had what's it called?
The one with Jeff Daniels.
The Squid and the Whale.
Squid and the Whale.
Squid and the Whale was the winner.
You would have been good in Zombieland.
That would have been fun.
It would have been older.
They went younger.
I like to say they went younger.
Okay.
They just kind of went with what was probably better
Do you feel that your beard affects the age of roles you get called for?
I'll shave for stuff like that
In fact, I think I got a shave this week
Just the face stuff?
Yeah, facial
Yeah, not my head
Right
No chest
How old do you feel your junk looks?
How old does your penis look?
I would shave down the whole thing
Young 40?
Not to look young, But just for aerodynamics
Yeah
Well yeah
When you're in the audition
You want to feel like
Nothing's holding you back
Especially under your clothes
You never know
They might ask you to do
A swim relay
As part of an audition
Let's do this next one shirtless
Sure
Absolutely
I actually saw
50 breasts
50 free
When I went and
When I went and interviewed
Judd Apatow
At the Judd Apatow offices For The Sound of Young America, Jesse Eisenberg was there.
And at one point, we were setting up in Judd Apatow's office.
Judd wasn't in there yet.
And Jesse Eisenberg opened the door and looked around and sort of gave us one of these.
That's so good.
Jesse is giving a kind of a quizzical look.
One eyebrow up.
But a sort of taut quizzical look.
Like, kind of like, look who I am.
He was basically like he just took a Jesse Eisenberg bazooka and silently blasted it
into our room.
Just all over your face.
And then closed it up without saying anything.
He just Jesse Eisenberged his face right into that crack and just Jesse Eisenberg to the left, Jesse Eisenberg to the right.
And then all of us were like, because we were blown over by his intensity.
Kind of like if Michael Winslow had peeked his head in and just immediately started doing a helicopter noise.
Yeah.
He just did exactly what you expect him to do.
Exactly.
The look.
And hey, I'm not speaking ill of Jesse Eisenberg.
I think he's wonderful.
Nobody is.
I love The Squid and the Whale.
I enjoyed the Facebook film.
Yeah.
Oh, you didn't like Zombieland?
I've not seen Zombieland.
Oh.
But I bet I'd enjoy it.
I think you would.
Not big on zombies.
The guy that directed it, Reuben Fleischer, did all my early short films.
He made like six short films together.
Oh, wow.
And then he produced my web series.
Really?
And then he went on to not cast you in zombie land.
Yeah.
I got Eisenberg.
Yeah.
You got to go with,
with a studio once.
I mean,
at least that's what they tell you.
Did you at least like,
did you say like,
Hey,
if you don't cast me as the lead,
can I at least be a zombie?
That's what I would have said in the audition.
Yeah.
I think towards the end,
he was going to ask me about that.
And then he thought maybe that was going to be insulting.
But I would have loved it.
I would have loved it.
You've got to put that up front.
You've got to put it up front
so he knows it's not insulting.
Yeah, yeah.
A friend of mine did play a zombie in it.
Now, if he had asked me to be a zombie in it,
I would have been insulted.
I want to make that clear.
I'm bigger than that.
But I'm bigger than you.
I'm pretty deep inside Hollywood.
I understand. Yeah, yeah.
I make it a point in every audition I go to,
whether it be commercial, voiceover, what have you,
I just say, hey, if there's any zombies in this, it's not beneath me to play one.
I'm available.
I actually said that at the time that I auditioned to be the voice of Jet Blue in radio commercials.
You said in case?
I let them know that I'd be a zombie if they needed one.
There wasn't anything in the script, but, you know, they're very hot in Hollywood right now.
Sure.
I could see maybe even do a quick zombie
read for them, just
in case it's something you guys want to rethink.
Especially if it's a voiceover thing and you're sending
in a tape, you can record
your straight read, or
what I call your living read,
and then your
undead read at the end.
Living and undead, that's good.
I think it also kind of mixes it up and lets them know that you're open for anything and
that you've got a great sensibility and, you know, sensitive guy.
And you also know what's hot.
You know, because they want to put their finger on the pulse of America when they touch you.
You know what I mean?
Do they touch you when you come in?
Yeah.
And that's why I shaved down so they can feel the pulse.
I don't want anything getting in between their fingertips and the pulse. Sure. The American pulse? Yeah, and that's why I shave down so they can feel the pulse. I don't want anything getting in between their fingertips and the pulse.
The American pulse?
Yeah, absolutely.
The one that drops through my veins.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse, go.
It's Jordan, Jesse, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, that we give all of our guests because it makes us look a little bit less like assholes for saying stupid nicknames ourselves.
Why don't we do it again?
You guys do yours, and then I'll come in with mine.
I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Nick Thune, Honest Nick.
Honest Nick Thune is here with us.
Do you just want it to be Honest Nick Thune?
Yeah, Honest Nick Thune might be better.
Is that ironic because you're a shyster?
Yeah, but people used to call me Honest Nick.
Really?
Like Honest Abe, but it's mostly because I was mostly lying to people.
Ah, right.
But, you know, not for real lying purposes, just to mess around and have a good time.
Sure, to steal money.
Yeah, change the future.
I met a guy named the gentleman farmer once oh
how's that gentleman farmer it was pretty good he was mental i'd like to meet him he was a he was a
public radio commentator from the northeast like i want to say like maine or something
and from what i could tell a legend in maine but he'd recently been taken off the air i think it
was the gentleman farmer and somebody from maine is going to write in and correct me that his name wasn't there.
But he just delivered on everything that you could hope he would be.
Like he was wearing like a lumberjack shirt and suspenders.
And a belt.
The suspender belt combo.
And like high water khaki pants.
And was he talking about the government?
Yeah.
The GOV apostrophe meant.
Yeah.
It was just sort of like,
well, it's time to plant beans again.
Oh, we're going to be headed out to the fields
to plant ourselves some beans.
Is he on a farm?
Beans are good, honest food.
Honest Nick.
Sure.
You know about that.
Did you guys have a good Thanksgiving?
How was your Thanksgiving?
Were you in Orange County, Jordan?
Yeah, I went to Orange County.
Kind of classic Morris family Thanksgiving.
Dinner, lunch around noon.
Classic.
Yeah, I know, right?
Same old song and dance.
Then movie.
We always go to a movie on Thanksgiving.
And the movie we saw was The Next Three Days.
This is Russell Crowe saving Elizabeth Banks from jail.
And my mom did the classic mom slash parent thing where they mangle the name of popular movies.
At the box office, she asked for tickets to Three's Company.
Nailed it.
I know.
And I was worried that when we were going in,
like maybe she doesn't know that this is a taut thriller
and maybe thinks she's going to see some sort of update of Three's Company
starring like Shia LaBeouf, Zooey Deschanel, and Emily Blunt.
Freudian slip, for sure.
No, but she didn't seem to think it was.
She just thought that was the name of it. It was the race company. We had
our first ever Thanksgiving here in Los Angeles.
We've been here, I mean, how long have we lived
here, Jordan? We're looking at like four years
now, right? Something like that.
We actually invited
our family to join us.
And they made it.
My parents can't really be in the same room
together, but my mom came, and my wife's They made it. And they made it. My parents can't really be in the same room together.
But my mom came, and my wife's parents, and her younger brother, and younger sister, and her younger sister's boyfriend all came.
They hooked hell it up?
Yeah.
This is a small apartment.
You can see that just from walking in here, Nick.
You don't have to tell the listeners that.
I have to... Okay.
Look, I live in a...
Honest Nick here.
I live in a big... I live in a... Honest Nick here.
I live in a big... I live in a palatial apartment, Nick,
but I choose to put them up at the Ritz.
That's nice of you.
Because they're going to enjoy the pampering.
They come from hardworking, honest stock.
Free USA Today at the door every morning.
Or Wall Street Journal.
All the infographics you can read.
By the way, Nick,
this hair tonic you sold me
is just giving me a rash.
That's what it's supposed to do.
Oh.
When will the hair start growing?
In about two days.
By the way,
Nick's got to leave tomorrow.
Back up the medicine wagon.
Got to head out of town.
So I cooked,
which I had never done.
And in fact,
I had to launch, I didn't talk about fakes giving.
I had to have a, I had to have fakes giving about two weeks ago, uh, because I had never
even roasted a chicken.
So you did a few, how'd you nail the turkey?
I mean, the first shot.
Nailed it both times, motherfucker.
Nice.
Both fucking times.
Nailed it.
Just bake.
You did the straight up bake it, right? I, yeah, we're roast. I would call it a roasting. Okay. Both fucking times. Nailed it. You did the straight up bake it, right?
Yeah.
I would call it a roasting.
Okay.
You roasted it.
Well, here's what I did.
Roasting?
First, I reached into the hole where its butt would be and pulled out the giblets and the
gross neck.
I reserved those for gravy.
Of course.
I brined it overnight.
I brought it out i dried it i applied salt and
baking soap baking powder almost said baking soda that would have been a disaster oh man
salt and baking powder to aid in the browning and the crisping of the skin i baked it roasted it
so far the bake that to use your Turn of phrase
Fucking great
Who did the stuffing?
Oh I did
I did the whole fucking nine yards
You took it down
Soup to nuts
Was dinner here?
By the way
We had a non-traditional
Thanksgiving dinner
It was turkey soup and nuts
Well soup turkey nuts
Yeah
If you're soup to nuts
Isn't that a Tyler Perry movie?
It is yeah yeah Soup turkey nuts Yeah well Tyler Perry's soup turkey nuts. Yeah. If you're soup to nuts. Isn't that a Tyler Perry movie? It is, yeah, yeah.
Soup turkey nuts?
Yeah.
Well, Tyler Perry's soup turkey nuts.
He is soup turkey nuts.
From the novel Soup Turkey Nuts for Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide, based on the novel Push by Sapphire.
I learned an important lesson while I was doing this.
Was it for F-O-U-R?
Or just... I think it's F-U-R or something.
I just wanted to sock that sign.
Sorry.
Yeah.
No, that's fair.
Just sock it.
Does that make me a racist?
Wanting to punch signs
for Tyler Perry movies?
No, because he's fucking embarrassing.
Anyway.
I think that makes you racial.
Yeah, sure.
I think you're talking
about the issues right there.
Broasting?
So you roasted it. What was the reception like what about a a broast could that be something that we we create and make a
lot of money on selling to guys who were smearing off icing each other oh yeah maybe it's like when
you when you roast one of your bros yeah you sit one of the bros down on the don't you fucking
steal this listeners don't you fucking steal this i listeners. Don't you fucking steal this. I will hunt you down
and pull your giblets out of
the hole where your ass used to be.
I think it's a couple bros sitting down for a nice roast.
Oh, like a nice pot roast?
No, like a Comedy Central roast.
Oh, just enjoying the pot roast.
They broast each other.
Right, yeah, no, I think that's
a great idea. It's not
killing and cooking a college friend.
No. No.
No, okay.
My family, when we have Thanksgiving, we get together for the meal.
So everybody comes over to wherever it's going to be.
This is both my mother and father's side of the family.
We get together for that meal, and then everyone leaves.
Or, alternately, maybe, if it's my dad's side of the family, they go to a movie.
My wife's family celebrates holidays this way.
They come over on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, and hang out all day.
Trick each other into drinking smeared off ice.
And then they all start talking, making jokes about each other's foibles.
And they hang out all day on Wednesday.
They come back on Thursday, hang out all day.
They come back on Friday and hang out all day.
That was my whole weekend.
There's no activities.
There's no...
It's just they enjoy each other's company.
Not just seeing each other.
And it's not just that they love each other.
Because I love my family
And in fact I enjoy being with my family
I think my family are great
But I would typically
Go see my family and then leave
My wife's family just sits together
For hours on end
Scrabble?
No, just talking
About scrabble
About various board games But not playing them guitar somebody may be playing various board games but
not playing them they actually don't play the board games they actually play mental scrabble
where they have a they all know what the board looks like in their head right yeah they've the
the need for the board has gone away they're spelling words out yeah it's it's a it was
really it was kind of frankly frankly, overwhelming to me.
And again, like, my wife's family is wonderful.
We need a break, right?
Soup to nuts, my wife's family is wonderful.
She has a, my wife has a...
From little soup to grandma nuts.
They're all great.
But it was overwhelming to me.
And I realized it's because there's no event like that in my family.
And in fact, the only activity, the only going to a movie-like activity that they'll do on a holiday like this is going for a hike together.
That's fun.
Is it?
It's kind of.
I guess.
How often do they see each other, though?
All the time. In that yeah no they this is something like like my wife and i had to deal with our different assumptions
about holidays early on when at christmas it would be like i would be like yeah well we'll
go to my dad's house then we'll go over to your parents house then we'll go to my mom's house or
something and i'd be like we go to my dad's house at sleep over at my dad's house. Then we'll go over to your parents' house. Then we'll go to my mom's house or something. And I'd be like, we go to my dad's house at sleep over at my dad's house, maybe.
And we get up and open presents with the kids. And it's, you know, we leave at nine,
go to my mom's house for lunch, and then go over to her parents' house for dinner or something like
that, which is intense, but you know, it's what you got to do. But if you go to the Hossfeld
family first, that's an all-day activity.
Is there drinking involved?
No.
They're not even drunk.
They don't drink?
No.
They're very functional.
That's another thing about this family.
Highly functional family.
They all are genuinely nice, all genuinely like each other.
That's what I don't understand.
What's the Offerman family Thanksgiving like?
The Nick Offerman?
Oh, I said the name
of the guy who's role...
Oh, boy. What a jerk.
I apologize. You do follow...
You do follow Offerman, though, right?
What's his Thanksgiving like?
He has a great Thanksgiving. Real healthy. Megan Malloy.
You know... Malally. Malally.
Yeah, Malally's there. Megan Malally.
She's there.
She's doing a broad but genuinely funny characterization.
My family is – my family, my wife's family, they all live in the same – like the Seattle area.
So it's kind of we split it the whole time.
But we stay at my parents' for Thanksgiving.
That kind of makes it worse, right?
It's just overwhelming.
It's real tiring. We got thereuesday and left this morning i flew back this
morning um a lot of drinking that's always interesting because i i uh i could never imagine
have even having a i have a hard time like ordering a drink at a restaurant when i'm with my mom
because i'm so because she's such a teetotaler. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. So when I hear stories about people who are like, oh, me and my family just get ripped
and I go behind the house and smoke a joint with my brother, like that is so amazing to
me.
Is this something that you guys do?
Yeah, it's a lot like what we do.
Yeah, but we don't get too ripped.
Okay.
Actually, this year we kept it down a little bit.
Yeah.
But you have gotten ripped in the past.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, and it's been like never you know, never throwing up type of situation
Have you ever gotten lit?
I've gotten lit up, yeah
I got lit up, we got ripped
Dad smokes you out?
A couple times
Dad smokes cigars
That's happened the past two years
Oh, cool
So he likes to come out, because I smoke cigarettes
So he likes to come out now and smoke with me
Oh, that's fun
Which is, you know, it snowed in Seattle
So we had sleds, we were sledding down the hill
I was playing the old trick, like, hey, go tell Snow in Seattle in So we had sleds. We were sledding down the hill. I was playing the old trick like, hey, go tell...
Snow in Seattle in Thanksgiving?
That's probably pretty unusual, right?
Yeah, it's a good sign for a lot of snow this year up there.
Yeah.
There was the old trick that I pulled in about five people where I would have my brother
go up to them and say, hey, I need you to come outside and help me carry this in for
my car for dinner.
These plates my mom wanted me to bring.
There are five steps outside.
I've got four snowballs around the corner, just snowball party.
Every time.
Every time.
Never got old.
SBP.
SBP.
Were there any consequences for drinking at the Thune household this year?
No arguments.
The only slight argument that happened was, because we all have a lot of dogs there.
I brought my dog up.
My parents have two dogs.
My brother-in-law and sister have two big dogs, and they've got two babies, twins.
And so it's just like dogs all over the house.
We're all staying at my parents' house.
And there was a dog fight between my dog and brother-in-law's dog.
Oh, wow.
And he actually said—
Because one dog is really conservative, and one dog is really liberal, and Obama came up. It got political. It didn't get political, actually, all Because one dog is really conservative and one dog is really liberal.
And Obama came up.
It got political.
It didn't get political actually all weekend, which is nice.
With my mom, it will go bad.
What's her slant?
Just not knowing.
Okay.
Just general confusion about politics.
But definitely knowing as far as she's concerned.
Okay.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
So the dogs got into it.
Dogs got into it and he said to me – because encouraged it they started to go at it and he's got like a huge black lab named morris
and i've got a small french bulldog named mikey just for reference sure sure mikey picture mikey's
starting to go at it with morris and and i go get him like because i like to encourage they're
playing they're not fighting they're playing yeah and then i got the old from from from the brother-in-law come on man don't encourage that
don't encourage that and so i just kind of sat there and took it and didn't say anything because
i've we've gotten into it before try try to be and then uh two minutes later i try to be what
are you about six three six four six four i am taller than him Although he is definitely a little bit more cordial than I am
I say what's on my mind a lot more often
And he kind of just hides in the corner
I just assumed that you were going to say
He is a little bit more burly than I am
He is, he is definitely
He could probably take me out in a fight
But he's nice enough not to
And they got into it again
And this time my mom
Somebody said to me, Nick, stop it.
I just said, I'm not the dog guy.
So I don't know why people keep saying, Nick, don't do this.
I'm not in charge of the dogs, so thank you.
I just walked out and had a cigarette.
It was one of those moments like, there goes Nick again.
Classic Nick.
I was outside smoking thinking, why did I have to do that?
Then it's a constant apology for the rest of the day this sounds surprisingly this sounds surprisingly uh
rancorous for something that you presented as uneventful oh there was a lot that happened but
that was the only thing that really happened i mean shit was going down him and i were fine the
rest of the time didn't you also almost get arrested though yeah last night uh-huh yeah
last night i got i got uh pulled over and and full-on dui check checked because i was
speeding going 11 over and uh it was pouring down rain so i'm doing this dui test in the rain my
wife's got the window rolled down she's watching the whole thing and the cop said you know he asked
me if i've been drinking it would be funny if she had the window rolled down but she was just
boredly like looking at the newspaper He's not even paying attention.
The newspaper that's getting wetter and wetter. There goes Nick again.
Getting drunk.
My brother's a local cop.
So believe me, I was dropping my brother's name.
And then also my wife's got my brother on the phone, on speakerphone,
and he's listening to the whole thing happen as much as he can.
Oh, wow.
He's telling her it's okay, it's okay.
Is he drunk?
And I thought that I was.
I thought that I might have been too drunk.
I couldn't tell.
You just get so scared. Sure did you what did you had to drink uh some wine some red wine at my mother-in-law's thai food which i think is what saved me no as i call you
right you're right a little bit a little bit of vino um very good italian from from from italiana
right sure the shoe country yep very nice the land of the cake boss oh is the cake
boss from there uh you know i don't know yeah there's really no way to tell where the cake
boss is from i can't recall what i just get what his i've seen the previous cultural background
and i hate his wife just based off those previous you know what everyone on that show is awful
everyone is um so i got cakes i got the eye test where they put a pen up.
And then after that, I did the steps.
And the funny thing about the steps was you have to take nine steps, count them out, turn around, take nine back.
And right in front of the left foot.
And he told me specifically.
And the main thing my brother has told me before is it's all about rules.
The things they're telling you, the walking, people can walk straight when they're drunk it's just about following the rules and if you do that then they are they're
understanding that you're cognizant sure so when he was giving me the example of the steps he did
three sample steps and he tripped on the third step and and i fully said to him i go but you
can't even do it and he gave me this look like oh well just well, just go. No, we had a good rapport going.
I was being charming, so I was trying to be charming
like I was in an audition or something. So like a classic comedy
rapport, like dumb guy and industry
guy. Exactly. Classic.
I was a charming, I might be drunk, please don't
ruin my life right now sort of a thing.
But giving him respect,
not pulling punches,
letting him know when he trips.
Sure. Sure, yeah.
You're not afraid to give him a little elbow to the lips,
President Obama style.
This is where my stage comes in hand,
my stage experience comes in hand.
Right, right.
Another cop pulled up.
People were actually pulling up and watching this stuff too,
because it was right in front of a little AM, PM type store.
Anybody have their dick out?
Unfortunately, no.
Yeah.
I could have.
Tell me about it.
Maybe two more glasses of vino had you ever been had you ever
been pulled over and never had to do this i had to do this the only time uh i got i got a speeding
ticket recently on highway 5 between san francisco and los angeles but before that the only time that
i'd been pulled over was like the week that i got my driver's license i was like 20 years old
something like that oh late bloomer and i had a
uh i had bought an el camino i had this v8 el camino that had this huge engine but it was also
um crazy heavy and sluggish so it was sort of like you had to go to get it to go highway speeds
driving over the highway 17 in um uh santa cruz uh pouring rain the highway 17 is like this
nightmare mountain pass road um it's just terrifying hairpins that's where you go between
the 101 and yeah it's how you get basically between san jose and santa cruz you go over
this through this mountain range and uh it was horrifying and i was doing a terrible job and
and for one thing when that when the cop put his
lights on behind me uh i didn't know what that i didn't know what that meant i didn't know that
meant i was supposed to pull over and so i'm looking at him won a contest i thought well
maybe i was in his way or something hey i thought i might be in his way gift card i've got an escort
yeah yeah i thought i might be in his way like I'm like terrified because I'm like hunched over.
It's pouring rain in this treacherous mountain pass.
I've just learned to drive.
I'm driving this new car.
It's an 82 El Camino.
I'm like horrified.
I'm doing a terrible job.
And finally, I realize he's trying to pull me over.
And I pull over onto this place where it's basically just around a curve and there's almost no shoulder.
I pull over onto this place where it's basically just around a curve and there's almost no shoulder.
And the cop like knocks on my window and he says, sir, why didn't you pull over when I asked you to pull over?
And I was like, honestly, I didn't know that I was supposed to pull over.
I was trying to figure out what I was supposed to do.
That's what they like to hear right off the bat. Yeah, I know.
You're playing my guy.
My guy doesn't know much.
My guy doesn't know much. The guy doesn't know anything.
And then he goes, sir, why did you pull over here where there's almost no shoulder and
we're just around a blind curve?
And I was like, I don't know.
I'd never pulled over before.
I've been driving this car since I got my license.
And then he made me do the, he said, sir, have you been drinking?
And I was like, no, sir, I don't even drink, which I don't.
And he said, I'm going to have to ask you to do.
And he made me get out and do the like nose things and stuff.
And I could do all of those.
And then I just said to him, he said, have you been drinking?
And I literally said to this guy, no, I think I'm just kind of a bad driver.
To which he said, it's not illegal
to be a bad driver.
And so there was
nothing he could do
to give me a ticket.
He let me go.
They should put a law
in place for that.
Bad driver law?
Well, then all the women
would be in jail.
Am I right, fellas?
To say nothing of the Asians.
Yeah.
Hello.
My mother-in-law
would be the first one
in the slammer.
Yeah.
I wouldn't want to
have to drive, sit in the passenger seat when she's behind the wheel.
Nailed it.
Thanks, guys.
Classic.
Would you say that's as classic as the old guy who's deep in the industry and the dumb guy routine?
Yeah, I mean, this show's about timeless comedy.
People think it's like, you know, some hipsters making jokes about jokes.
Something that you know is going to be vintage.
No, this is about classic comedy.
This is something that's going to last.
It will be vintage someday.
This is going to last.
There's going to be people listening to this at their local library audio visual section.
It's got a vintage feel now, but in the future it's going to literally be a vintage.
Hey, Nick Thune, I just hit you with a chicken.
A rubber chicken.
Oh, man.
Dead arm.
Anyway, we're having a lot of fun.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse, go.
Can't wait.
It's Jordan, Jesse Go, I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Nick Thune, Honest Nick.
It's great to have you here, Honest Nick.
Thank you.
Look, would Honest Nick lie to you, Jordan?
Ah, I mean, I should hope not.
Hey, I'm not gonna lie.
Then I don't know what to believe.
Well, it's a good thing that he's here, because he's the trusted man in America because we have a sponsor on this week's Jordan Jesse Go.
It is Traffic Cycle Design.
Traffic Cycle Design, online at trafficbikes.com.
This gentleman, who's a big Jordan Jesse Go fan named Spencer, was a student at the University of California at Santa Cruz when we were in college.
First listened to the Sound of Young America
on our original station,
KZSE. He has gone on
to move to New York City. Maybe
you've heard of it.
I have not. Please explain it
to me later. You would know it as
New Amsterdam. Oh, okay.
Sure.
It's where I take my barrels to get their bung holes.
That's a good slogan.
Funny that you mentioned that.
That's actually the slogan of traffic cycle design.
Really?
That's where I take my barrels to get my bung holes?
Yeah.
Anyway, this gentleman, Spencer, he
builds bikes, and if
builds bikes suggests in your mind
probably putting together
various bicycle parts, right? I imagine he's
in a factory. This guy is putting together
this man actually
literally builds the
bikes. He's in welds
sections of tubing together. He welding he's welding he's
he make the screws and make the bolts on his own it's like a bespoke bicycle this is a guy who's
like measuring the length of the inside of your leg and getting a sense of your of your stance
exactly your applications adjusting angles engineering engineering, fusing, painting, adding brakes.
Fixed gear?
Is he doing fixed gear bikes?
He's doing fixed gear bikes.
He's doing geared bikes.
This guy's doing any fucking kind of bike you want.
That's the bespoke bicycle experience.
But I don't even know how I could get something like this.
If I were you, and I wouldn't be so presumptive as to suggest that I am you, especially with
you here.
That would be crazy.
Sure.
For a voiceover audition, would I say I'm Nick Thune, the guy who's been in a few network
television pilots?
Yeah, why not?
Bring him out.
But in this situation, you're here, and I wouldn't do that.
Trafficbikes.com.
And not only that, he also wanted us to point out, by the way,
that he does not wear spandex when he rides bicycles.
And he does not build bicycles
exclusively for spandex people, as he plans.
He will.
He wanted to make it clear that he loves to make bikes
for normal people, not just crazy bicycle people.
Nothing against crazy bicycle people.
Our friend Matt Howey from Metafilter,
he does something called cyclocross,
which I think involves a velodrome.
Oh, I love a velodrome.
I don't know exactly what it is,
but I know that it doesn't involve a velodrome.
Stop emailing.
Get your hands off that keyboard.
Stop emailing me.
He wants us to know that he's making these for all kinds of people young old fat thin etc etc and
if you mention jordan jesse go to him you get 10 off so you can either order a ready-made bike
from his website which again is trafficbikes.. Or you can drop him a line. The contact information is at TrafficBikes.com for a custom bike.
And either way, mention JordanJesseGo, get a 10% discount.
The code for the website, JJGo.
And he's going to hand make that.
He's going to make that with his own two hands.
This gentleman in his shop in New York City is going to weld tubes and forks.
What if a 127- hour situation with him happens,
would he be able to build bikes still?
Yes,
absolutely.
Of course.
Of course.
Technology the way it is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He'd get a prosthetic.
He'd probably be better.
He could probably get an arm with a welding thing at the end of it,
like a welding,
a blowtorch at the end of it,
a polypropylene torch.
Ah, it's probably going to be easier for them to make bikes
at that point. Absolutely. You put the match
in one hand, the torch in the other
on the stump, and you just
get it lit.
You fuse the tubes, bespoke bicycle
experience, TrafficBikes.com.

What about Foul Play?
The movie.
No, no.
Yes.
Look.
Foul Play, Fair Game, either the Daniel Baldwin, Cindy Crawford movie,

Either one.
Either Fair Game we will promote.
Now, what if somebody wants to call them and say,
you know what, I just love firefighters.
I want to promote them.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah, absolutely. Now, would we take an anti-firefighter ad? wants to call them they say you know i just love firefighters i want to promote them yeah sure yeah
absolutely now would we take an anti-firefighter ad yes probably okay but we'd point out that
they're america's real heroes before slamming them besides four trucks well they make they make
they didn't spend all that time shining their fucking fire trucks maybe they could teach our
kids a thing or two about how to read.
All that time.
Like a real hero.
Spending all that time in those calendar photo shoots.
Yeah, I know.
Getting sexy for those calendars.
Maybe we should have her.
Jordan, you probably remember our greatest animal showdown.
I do.
Maybe we should have our greatest civil servant showdown.
Sure.
Who's better?
Librarians?
Firemen?
Teachers?
Postal workers?
Who's the best?
Yeah.
Tax collectors?
That would be a great reality show.
Assessors?
I don't know much about the industry.
I'm just saying I think that would be a good reality show.
Comp trollers?
Look, I'm deep inside the industry, and I can tell you the key to this whole thing is
comp trollers.
Guys.
Blart.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jesse Go.
It's Jordan Jesse Go.
I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Nick Thune, honest Nick.
Great to have Nick Thune here with us.
Nick, are you up to stuff besides your stand-up comedies right now?
I know you were recently cast in a network television pilot.
Yep.
They've got two shows, actually, that I'm creating right now.
Fantastic.
One for NBC, and then I'm doing one for MTV, too.
Oh, wow.
Two shots.
Because you're very funny and handsome.
Oh, thank you.
MTV as well. MTV Trace you. Or MTV, too. MTV as well.
MTV Trace?
Yeah, MTV Ocho.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, the MTV one I've got a little more control over.
You're working on something with a very funny Spike Ferriston.
That's right.
From talk show with Spike Ferriston,
past Sound of Young America guest, very funny man,
invented the soup Nazi.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, he didn't invent him out of whole cloth.
Mm-hmm.
He abstracted him and...
Out of ideas and...
Yeah.
Thoughts.
And a man, a real man.
And a guy.
Yeah.
From time to time on this program, basically every week, we ask our listeners to call in
when something momentous happens to them for a segment called Momentous Occasions.
Ask our listeners to call in when something momentous happens to them for a segment called Momentous Occasions.
Telephone number 206-984-4FUN.
206-984-4FUN.
Which is a Seattle number.
It is indeed.
We have a few telephone calls from listeners right here.
Why don't we take a listen?
Hey, Jordan, Jesse Goh.
It's Davidson, North Carolina. I have a somewhat belated, momentous occasion.
I was out this weekend with my girlfriend and some friends at a comedy club,
and then we got a text that said that a drunk person had driven their car into my girlfriend's house.
And it's quite momentous, I must say.
So, yeah, keep up the good work.
Thank you very much.
Bye.
I think that's the kind of thing that happens.
Nick, you're a comedy performer.
You've performed in comedy clubs across this great nation.
Mostly people's cars, people's houses are getting run into by cars, right?
Yeah, people are getting a lot of texts during shows.
I've always been curious as to what they were.
Now I know.
All you've noticed is that they're crying a lot.
I wouldn't be surprised if that comedian did that on purpose as kind of like their closer.
Right.
Had his friend ram the guy's house with a car.
Here's the key question for this guy, and it's too bad he's not live on the line.
Was it D.L. Hughley?
Because D.L.'s known for pulling that kind of shit.
He is.
He is.
He's known for that.
Hughley, if he's known for one thing, it's that.
It's that, and it's also for having that show on the D.L. Right, on the D.L., D.L. Hughley. That's the second thing he's's that. It's that, and it's also for having that show on the DL.
Right, on the DL, the DL Hughley.
That's the second thing he's known for.
Weekends on the DL, was that what they were called?
Sure. On the download, right?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, download.
Hey, Jordan,
Jesse, and possible wonderful
guests who may be slated for the next show.
I'm Nate from Rochester, New York,
and I have a rather
horrible, momentous occasion to
bring to you guys.
I went to work today
expecting to be able to listen to the newest
podcast of Jordan Chessie
Go and found
out that my company
now blocks all
Sound of Young America podcasts,
Maximum phone podcasts.
So quite terrible.
And I sincerely ask you guys,
what is the world coming to?
Okay, thanks guys.
Great show.
Bye.
I ask you this.
Okay.
Do you think that this is related to the porno stuff we've been doing?
I mean, the pornographic videos stuff we've been doing. Off?
I mean, the pornographic videos that I've been posting?
Yeah, watching?
Is this because we've watched porno and God is punishing us? Well, we have been...
I mean, we've been making and distributing pornos.
But like special, like tasteful, special interest pornos.
Give me an example.
Just like foot stuff. You know Give me an example Just like
Like foot stuff
You know
Like somebody's shitting on a foot
For couples
Yeah
Good for couples
There's a lot of relationship stuff in there
Yeah
Now was that a plant
That you guys set up right there?
That guy
Or was that a
No not at all
No no no
Could we do this
Could we put up
Another site
Uh huh
That's just like
It's a mirrored site.
It's just the porno stuff
so we don't get in trouble
with the spam blocker.
Yep.
It's blocking,
trying to block podcasts
because it figures
nobody likes podcasts.
No.
Sure.
Especially not while working.
That's a good site.
So we have an all porn site
for just for this guy
to go to at work.
So it's safe for the blockers
and everything.
And then our site,
we'd keep the porn
on our site, right? I've got an idea for the name of it. Yeah. the blockers and everything. And then our site, we keep the porn on our site, right?
I've got an idea for the name of it.
Yeah, Sound of Young America Fucking.
That's a good idea.
That's a good name.
Hi, Jordan, Jesse Go.
This is Critty in Toronto.
I am calling with a momentous occasion.
I am on my way to a first date, a first blind date,
and my first date in two years.
So I'm pretty psyched, and I wanted to call and share it with you guys.
I'll call and let you guys know how it goes.
If you don't hear back from me, it means I'm getting laid.
Have a good one. Bye.
I resent the fact that you can't find time,
and you're busy getting laid scheduled to call us.
I agree.
You should tell the fella to hold on
or just perform cunnilingus
on you for a while
while you make an important call.
Absolutely.
There's no reason
you can't call us
with a dick in your mouth.
No.
Yeah.
That's not taking your fingers.
Or, I mean,
unless you use
specifically voice style
all the time.
It's certainly momentous.
It's been two years.
Yeah.
So... That depends on what kind of service she's getting
in the room that she is sucking his dick in.
Oh, yeah.
If it's AT&T, look out.
Right.
It depends on bars.
Yeah.
You're going to need several bars.
Can you hear me now?
I'm kidding.
Hi, Jordan, Jesse Go.
This is Critty from Toronto again.
I just wanted to say that I went on my date, and it was super nice,
and we had a good time, but I did not sleep with him.
I think I will maybe wait for the next date.
I don't know.
I don't know.
We got stoned.
We watched Dirty Rock.
It was pretty fun.
Made out a little bit,
but then I failed.
Anyway,
just thought I'd let you know
in case you were dying to know.
Bye.
What seems unusual to me,
and maybe I don't understand
modern women.
Right.
But,
and maybe this is a Canadian thing,
but second date, that seems relatively soon. I feel like she, And maybe this is a Canadian thing But Second date
That seems relatively soon
I feel like she felt a little bashful
That she didn't give it up on the first date
She was like apologizing to us
That she didn't have sex with him
I only made out and smoked pot
I don't know
That seems pretty reasonable
I mean you know pretty deep
Jordan have you ever dated a Canadian chick?
No They're fuck crazy A lot of people don't know that about Canadian chicks Pretty reasonable. I mean, you know, pretty deep. Jordan, have you ever dated a Canadian chick? No.
They're fuck crazy.
Oh, I bet.
A lot of people don't know that about Canadian chicks.
I found this out from our Canadian pals at Stop Podcasting Yourself.
These two guys, number one, no vulgarity is too vulgar for them.
Sure.
Number two, in the United States, kiss and tell is bad news.
In Canada, that's the rule.
Yeah.
The rule is.
You better tell. And what I found out from them is that In Canada, that's the rule. Yeah. The rule is...
You better tell.
And what I found out from them is that in Canada, women are fuck crazy.
Wow.
I think everyone is fuck crazy besides Americans.
Right?
Oh.
It's true.
We're one of the most repressed...
If you ask me, we're one of the most repressed societies in the world.
Anyway, guys, I'm going as Hunter S. Thompson for Halloween.
I think it's going to be pretty fun 2011
I liked her
I liked her
She has a winning attitude
She's going to mix it up
Watch 30 Rock, Smoke Pot
I'm curious if they watch on Hulu
Did he have stuff DVR'd
Those are questions I would have asked
Did they just make sure to be in the house by 9.30 when it starts
When does 30 Rock even come on in Canada
Further questions
Wouldn't a girl be turned off by that though
Like oh this guy brought me back
He smoked pot with me and we watched a TV show
Like that's something my brother
It's 30 Rock though
That's the best TV show
Madam you sound like a catch
I'm just going to say that right now
You sound like a delight.
Oh, look.
So you should wait until the third or fourth date to give it up.
All we know is 30 Rock and fuck crazy.
But are there any other qualities that a woman needs?
I think that's what a man is looking for, right?
I know a ton of guys that she would like.
Yeah.
Right off the bat.
Totally.
They've got dicks and they love 30 Rock.
Do they have pot, though?
I wonder if she brought the pot. she doesn't she didn't bring the pot no there was just some pot around i noticed
when she said that when she said the smoked pot watched 30 rock you kind of gave a little glance
like oh i like this girl she seems fun yeah look i'm a married man but and i don't smoke pot
you do enjoy 30 Rock.
It's just the 30 Rock.
Yeah, 30 Rock is what got you going.
Here we go.
Hi, Jesse.
It's Doug from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Oh, and hi, Jordan.
Two probably.
Momentous occasion.

Third year in a row.
It'll be great.

So I don't know if you knew this, but the MaxFunCon tickets just went on sale this past weekend.
As we record this, it's Sunday night.
We put the tickets on sale on Friday, Black Friday.
MaxFunCon, more than three quarters full.
Wow.

Biggest shopping day of the year.
That's true. I've heard that. It's been totally batty. Wow. Already. Record? Biggest shopping day of the year. That's true. I've heard that.

DVDs? Yes.
Any obsolete
technology you want. We've got it.
Yeah. Mini-disc players.
I am totally amazed at how many
two people from australia have already written that they're coming on the forum um it's really
like it's really turning into an extravaganza i just say this because i know that like
last year when things when tickets sold out all these people emailed me like oh i need to get in
etc etc this is your chance yeah we haven't even announced the guests yet.
It's raining men.
Yeah.
It doesn't.
The guests are, the guest is, our guest is CeCe Penniston.
Sure.
She didn't, who sings It's Raining Men?
Did it from BB and CeCe?
BB and CeCe, the whinins?
That's the whinins.
The singers?
I don't know.
Those are whinins. I don't know. Those are Winans.
I don't know who sings with Richard.
They really are?
I think those are Winans.
Oh, okay.
Don't get mixed up.
Okay.
I'm talking about CeCe Penniston.
I think she sings I'm Coming Out, but I might be mistaken.
We're talking about black ladies that sing for gay men.
Not the Winans, though.
The Winans aren't for gay men.
But the song I'm coming out is for gay men
Right
Yes, no one ever said that it wasn't
Wait a minute
Oh
Now I get it
Sorry, am I talking too much Hollywood
It's a lot of insider info
Yeah
Anyway, MaxFunCon
It's more than three quarters full now.
There are only a few dozen beds left.
So if you are planning on coming, get your button gear, MaxFunCon.com.
You can watch the little video that Jordan hosts.
Sure.
Wonderful video put together by our friend Ben Harrison.
As I said before, I don't like the length of my hair in the video.
Uh-huh.
Well, you feel it's a middling length.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's just neither here nor there, you know what I'm talking about?
Where are you at right now?
How do you feel about what you got?
This is longer than normal.
I think this is fine, very castable.
It's commercial season.
I don't know if you know that, Nick.
You have TV pilots, so you're not going out on a lot of commercials.
Yeah, because they also crush me.
Yeah, oh, yeah, and they're awful.
Yeah, sure, and they make you want to commit commercials. Yeah, because they also crush me. Yeah, oh, yeah, and they're awful.
Yeah, sure, and they make you want to commit suicide.
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Yeah, I think this is on the longer side, but I think it's fine.
I want to say we are presently working on the guests.
We have confirmed some guests about whom people will be very excited.
However, we are not yet prepared to announce the guests we are holding on to the list of guests at the moment because we want the people
that are there we want the people at max fun con to be people who are there for MaxFunCon. Not people who are... Not Tom Cruise.

Tomorrow here at MaxFunCon headquarters, MaximumFun.org headquarters, where we are, as this episode is released,
Teresa and the whole MaxFun crew will be in our living room putting together the special gift packages that MaxFun
Con registrants will receive. I don't think we expected to sell so many tickets so fast.
And so we have a lot of beautiful boxes to assemble, letterpress cards and crinkle paper
to put inside, and then mailing boxes to put those inside so that people can have happy Christmases.
Because people are going to get these under their trees because they're beautiful.
In the end, that's what you want.
You just want somebody to have a good Christmas.
Look, that's what this is all about.
We are simply having a wonderful Christmas time.
Yep.
That song's fucking horrible, by the way.
God, yeah, why is it so popular?
Why do people like that song?
Do people just like Paul McCartney
so much that they feel obliged
to like that song?
It makes me feel like a robot's molesting me.
Did you say merlesting?
I did say merlesting. That's a magical
kind of molesting that a wizard does.
It's like when you get somebody
wine. A little merlot.
A little merlest.
Every time I hear that song i feel like

Honest Nick, it's been really a pleasure to have you on this week's program.
Thank you. It's been a pleasure being here.
Nick Thune, let's just say people want to enjoy, say, your comedy stylings.
Might they go to nickthune.com?
Yep, I have that URL.
Might they purchase the compact disc DVD combo pack Thick Noon?
I would love for them to do that.
That would help me out, especially at the end of the year.
A lot of best, 10 best comedy albums.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I need as many people to, you know, send in their submissions to all those contests.
I believe, and Nick, if this isn't true, if this turns out not to be true,
please forgive me for saying this on the air.
I'll just say it's true either way.
Embarrassing.
You're gay, right?
I believe that there is some comedy
from your album Thick Noon
featured on the Sound of Young America's
Best Comedy of the Year special,
which will be heard on public radio stations
around the country.
Oh, that's nice.
Certainly, I can say,
one of the best comedy releases of the year.
Fantastic, very funny album.
And we can all write letters to MDV Trace
and hope that they pick up your program
I really hope so
here's hoping huh
if they want to see
a taste of the program
nicksbigshow.com
oh nicksbigshow.com
it's a web series
yeah that I made
I think it was
you got Kate Micucci
Jeff Garland
80 miles
talking about 80 miles
from the head writer
of the late night
with Jimmy Fallon program
that's right
we're talking about
Jeff Garland
from Curb Your Enthusiasm?
Same one.
Kate Mancucci, Comedy Babe?
Yes.
Oh, boy.
Paul Scheer, Nick Kroll.
Comedy Babes?
Both Comedy Babes.
Is that Kate Mancucci?
Is she on Twitter?
Because she's got those big eyes that are the key to Twitter success.
Yeah, she's got huge eyes.
Just monstrous eyes.
I think her Twitter pic is actually this, too.
Just sort of like an owl close up.
Yeah.
Also ukulele.
Yeah.
That helps.
Those are the two keys.
She scored with that thing.
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
Um,
max fun con.com.
If you want to get some max fun con tickets,
uh,
Hey,
uh,
we're in episode four of the judge,
John Hodgman podcast.
I think things are coming together nicely.
I hope that you will,
uh,
give it a listen and let us know what you think. Uh can find it on MaximumFun.org or just search for Judge
John Hodgman in iTunes. It is the latest podcast in the MaximumFun.org family. It features Judge
John Hodgman becoming surprisingly serious about surprisingly trivial disputes. I think that's how it would probably be best described.
Just by the way, heartily endorsed by Boing Boing.
Hey.
Boing Boing gave us a big shout out.
I'm very excited about that.
The internet?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The kings of the internet.
Yeah.
These people are the kings of the internet.
Jordan, you know that because Shani was here and she rocked a cash box. She ruled the school. Yeah, sure. She tore it down. She blew down the kings of the internet. Jordan, you know that because Shunny was here and she rocked her cash box.
She ruled the school.
She tore it down.
She blew down the walls of Jericho with her trumpet people.
Hey, my meetup's coming together.
Hey, Jordan, do you think you could get some of Nick Thune's family to show up?
Maybe I can.
Nick, to fill you in, sorry.
We're doing a lot of inside baseball stuff
here at the Tape Tailor,
but it's just business,
house cleaning stuff.
You understand.
I understand.
Jesse, when he travels,
will have a listener meetup.
Apparently they've been fun.
I question whether or not that's true.
I will now...
We've had as many as 40 people come to a meetup.
Oh, wow.
Like a bar or a restaurant?
Sure.
We're talking about bars.
We're talking about ice cream places.
Car dealerships.
So far, it's mostly been bars and an ice cream place.
Yeah.
My meetup will be December 17th in Seattle, Washington,
home of the Thunes.
And this is good because when I mentioned that I was officiating a wedding in Seattle, Washington,
people started planning a meetup for me without my approval or knowledge.
Guys, just transfer a little bit of that energy over into Jordan's meetup.
Well, I think you're going to benefit because I put the kibosh on it because I'm not going to be
in town long enough.
Sure.
And I've got to do this
wedding and everything.
Transfer this energy
into the best meetup
of all time,
venue TBD.
Sure.
Can I give you
some suggestions?
Yeah, actually,
I might even pull the trigger
on one based on your suggestion.
Nick, this is a Saturday night,
or excuse me,
a Friday night
in Seattle.
Where is somewhere
that might be...
What type of vibe do you want?
Thune house.
Yeah, thune house.
Bring it over.
You get fucking stoned with dad.
Have a big cigar.
Something fun and lively, but to where a conversation can take place.
Okay.
Because, you know, we want talking and conversing to be a big part of this.
And a nice and a good,
what you really are looking for
is a place that will run a tab for people,
will let you have separate checks.
That's like a really key.
How about a pho place?
A nice pho place.
Everybody gets soup.
I don't know if a meal is what I'm looking for.
It's too much commitment.
Although I might want to know about a nice pho place for while I'm in Seattle. I've't know if it's too much commitment. Although I might want to know about a nice place for while I'm in Seattle.
