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, priddle, dumb and priddle, deep, go this week.
Jesse Thorne is out, but never fear.
I've got Andy Secunda and Bria Grant on hand to talk about destination weddings, crazy horror fans, and deep Vs.
Let's go.
It's Jordan, Jesse, go.
I'm Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Jesse Thorne out in New York City taping some live episodes of the Judge John Hodgman podcast that I think you'll be able to hear soon.
But not to worry. In his absence, I have two terrific guests, coworkers, cohorts of mine, two of my absolute favorite people recently.
First, we have a comedy writer, sketch performer, Andy Secunda.
Andy, welcome to the program.
Hello.
Good to be here, Jordan.
Thank you.
Yes.
Alongside him, we've got a comic book author and an actress who you've seen on television
programs like Heroes and Dexter, Ms. Bria Grant.
Hey. Great. Hey, great.
Well, yeah.
Woo.
We should be cheering for each other, right?
Yeah.
I got nothing on my head.
What we do, we will add in post.
This is a very post-heavy show.
Oh, great.
We're going to add like whooping from an old episode of Married with Children.
So when I introduce you guys, we'll add the same whooping that happened when Al flushed the toilet.
Oh, that's great.
So people will just fuck.
Yeah, it'll sound like.
Can I be like a save by the bell?
Like they kiss and everybody goes, ooh.
Yes, yes.
Can we have those come in a couple times?
And when I say something funny, I'm going to pause and kind of, you know, just in the next sentence for the laughs.
Oh, good idea.
Good idea. Yeah.
Well, I mean, when I went downstairs and, you know, they always on a live sitcom.
Yeah.
And then mug a little bit.
And mug.
I mean, this is an audio show, so I don't think we'll be able to physically see the mugging, but it'll come through.
I think so.
I think so.
So, Bria, actually, if you I'll allow for you being a little fatigued during this taping.
I saw maybe some chatter on Twitter that this is not your first podcast of the week.
Oh, no.
No, I did another podcast earlier this week.
You are – I mean you are just such a new media go-getter.
I try to make the rounds, you know, go to all the – I don't know anything about podcasts, frankly.
I don't know anything.
I just happen to know people who do a few.
Yeah, well, they're the new webinars, I would say.
You know how popular webinars are?
Sure.
I've seen them on TV.
Right.
Commercials for them, not actual webinars.
No, you watch those on the web.
Oh, sure.
That sounds like how it works, yes.
Bria, I would think that—
Sorry.
People think I'm very—I know a a lot about technology and I actually don't
I know nothing
you don't
you shouldn't advertise that
I've been talking to you
about your branding Bria
and you really gotta
I know
you really gotta focus it up
I'm a very
my branding is honesty
Andy
it's honesty
that will get you nowhere
yeah
come on
nobody
nobody ever sold a Sprite
with honesty Bria
I doubt that
here's what I
I mean
here's just what I see for you
moving forward, and this is an audio
program, so you can paint whatever
mind
picture you want to.
You talk about your Native American
roots.
Right. We can talk
about how you're constantly splitting your
attention between us and your PlayStation
Vita that you love so dearly.
Which you have on your lap right now.
Absolutely.
It's right here.
I'm petting it.
What do you do with it?
I don't know.
Yeah, you pet it.
Pet it, right?
It's like a cat.
Again, you're hurting the brand.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was a cat.
Speaking of audio versus visual, so you were telling me at this first podcast you did this week you had to change mid-show or you were asked to change mid-show.
I did.
I showed up wearing – frankly, it's the same sweater I'm wearing today.
Well, I didn't show up.
I Skyped in.
I Skyped in.
Oh, okay.
What is this program, first of all?
Okay, let me just back up.
Okay.
It's my boyfriend's show.
His name is Kevin.
Kevin. Our audience will know him show. His name is Kevin. Kevin.
Our audience will know him as Kevin Sprinkles Pereira.
I don't know what that means.
Former guest on the show.
He brought donuts.
That's so nice.
That sounds like him.
Yeah.
Is that how you get a nickname?
I should have brought something.
Oh, you'll get nicknames later.
That comes.
That'll come, yes.
Okay.
But if you want to be in charge of your own nickname, you bring something, which he clearly did.
I mean, again, branding.
This is very important.
That's what people know him for is donuts.
Right.
And so he, for the whole show, was Kevin Sprinkles Pereira.
Gotcha.
So he's hosting a podcast now.
He is.
It was actually only his second one.
Okay.
But it's called Pointless!
Exclamation point.
I think he may be changing the name.
I'm not sure.
Exclamation point
in the title of your podcast.
Well, I think it,
when I've seen,
I feel, you know what,
I may have just made that up.
Is that a no?
No, we've got one.
I may have also
just made that up.
I may just,
maybe it's the way I say it.
I'm like,
it's called Pointless
and that's just,
I just,
I'm so out of it.
No, I mean,
I can testify firsthand.
If you have a podcast
with an exclamation point,
I mean, pussy avalanche.
Really?
Versus – I mean, I've had both.
That sounds actually dangerous.
That does sound gross.
Does that creeps – well, I don't know if it sounds gross for me.
I don't know.
One time this guy told me that he'd really like a truckload of tits and I could not stop thinking.
It was like this guy in this weird gas station.
I don't want to tell the rest of the story.
But it was the grossest visual that I'd ever – because I kept picturing a truckload of tits.
And I was like, that is so gross.
That had been severed from the woman.
They don't even have to be bloody.
Just them on their own.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not attached to any women.
Just a tit without an abdomen.
Gross.
It's just a red state.
Same thing with an avalanche of pussy.
And you thought this is the worst date I've ever been.
It was not a date.
It was not a date. It was not a date.
The first red flag, we're going to the gas station.
Second red flag.
I have a special place, Priya, that's just mine.
I want you to check it out with me.
My truckload.
Right.
Great self-service.
Soda fountain.
Make yourself a suicide if you want to.
So you're Skyping in.
This is a video podcast.
What was Kevin's complaint?
Oh, yeah.
About your beautiful mustard yellow sweater.
Right.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Well, I was Skyping in just for like I was his guest.
I talked about our show that we're going to maybe talk about.
Sure.
We will.
It's called Game Shop.
Good work.
And then I also
talked about a comic book
but I was Skyping him
not as like his girlfriend
but as like a guest
but also I'm his girlfriend
so he lets me do that
which is really nice.
That would be funny
if there was a weekly feature
where you Skyped in
not as Bria Grant
actress, comic book author
but as Kevin's girlfriend
and just like nagged him
about stuff.
I just like bitched about stuff.
I'm like,
do you remember when you
left your underwear on the floor?
And I'm just really pissed.
We've got dinner at my mom's this week.
Yeah, don't forget.
Cut.
Just as a recommendation, again, against branding in my opinion.
I don't think you should even mention a boyfriend.
I know.
I think you should just talk right from the top about how hard it is.
I'm out there.
I just can't click with anybody.
I can't.
No men understand me.
It's probably this Xbox something in my lap.
Yeah, right.
Probably come up with a specific after Xbox if you can.
Sure, sure.
It's probably – I just spend so much time gaming.
I can't meet any men.
Plus I'm so awkward because my boobs are so big.
I know.
It's such a bummer.
Especially on radio.
You can just elaborate as much as you want.
Sure.
It's true.
It's true.
No, I mean I'm sure there – I feel like i just made fun of a whole group of women out there and that's i'm
sure it is whatever they game and that's wonderful for them i don't want to have down gaming sorry
no i feel like that was me backing up on my brand like no it's fine if you guys came sure uh so so
you're you're skyping in as as guest not as girlfriend. Correct. And I was wearing a sweater.
And he was like. A beautiful mustard yellow.
And he said, Bria, you, he was like, is that what you're going to wear on the show?
And I was like, yeah.
And he was, and this is live, by the way.
It's just going.
And he was like, I think you need to change into a deep V.
And then the guy, other guys in the place, they were like, yeah, you really need to change.
And I was like, what?
I was like, I'm your girlfriend.
And he was like, this is the internet, Bria, and you need to understand that you need to change into a deep V.
Can we get a deep V?
Because otherwise there's men watching.
So his hits are more important than his girlfriend's virtue.
I'm questioning the priorities of Kevin Sprinkles Pereira.
I mean, aren't you one of my friends in Texas watching?
She's like, I'm not his crowd, but I think that was very rude.
That was pretty funny.
No, no, absolutely not. I was like, I'm not his crowd but I think that was very rude. That was pretty funny. And so I was like,
I don't fucking change.
It was fine.
So they wanted you to dress
like you're dressed
in at least three
of the episodes of Game Shop
that we'll have to see
which ones those are.
Right, right.
You have to watch all of them.
Well, Bria,
I think it was very polite of you
while we were having
that conversation
to change into your
slave Leia outfit. Right, so now to change into your slave Leia outfit.
So now I'm wearing a slave Leia outfit while streaming.
Theater of the mind.
Theater of the mind.

Bria Grant, mustard yellow.
Terrific.
It's great.
Andrew Secunda, intergalactic space pirate.
Oh, damn you.
Yours is so much better than mine.
Tough luck.
Too great.
No, no, no.
Those were both delightful.
Of course, Bria, Andy, and I all co-star in the upcoming web series Game Shop on IGN's YouTube channel.
We had a delightful time shooting that.
Sure did.
It's Clerks in a Video Game Store.
That's right.
And it was tons of fun.
That's a great little way to put it.
I've been describing it poorly.
How have you been describing it?
I don't know.
Where was I?
I don't know.
It's a web series.
You describe it as that thing that happened while I was on Shrooms.
There's a lot of colors, a lot of shapes, sounds.
You can feel the sounds.
Very unprofessional of you to show up on Shrooms, by the way.
Sorry.
God, sorry, Andy.
It's all right.
It was interesting performances.
Oh, good.
And the web series, Andy's directorial debut, if I'm not mistaken.
Debut?
Is that wrong?
I directed the Children's Hospital webisodes.
Oh, okay.
That's cool.
And I directed some other smaller things.
But certainly—
Sure.
You directed that second Riddick movie, right?
Chronicles of Riddick?
I had my name taken off that one.
But yes.
But yes, yes.
I mean, there's just a lot of creative differences on that.
I mean, Vin Diesel's, I mean, he...
He just has his own vision, so what are you going to do?
Sure.
I mean, he's the man.
Yeah.
Actually, that was very similar.
That was Clerks on a space barge, was the way I originally saw it.
Right.
You thought it would have less punching and teleport fighting.
Less mythology.
Right.
And more just, you know, fun banter.
Uh-huh.
Fun banter.
So finally I got my chance on Game Shop.
Okay.
So Game Shop you see as kind of your mulligan for the Chronicles of Riddick.
Exactly.
Okay.
Yes.
Now the fact that you made me shave my head makes a lot of sense.
Well, yeah.
I mean, it ties in.
It kind of does.
I want to tell you guys about the weekend that I just had.
Before I do, I will kind of apologize to Jordan, Jesse, go regular listeners because this will be the like fifth wedding thing I've
talked about on the show in the past couple of weeks.
But I feel like my non-working life has been all weddings this month slash back end of
the year.
I'm having a similar thing.
Right?
Isn't October a weird wedding month?
It's sweet.
I have a lot.
I have a lot coming up.
Like I have two coming up and It's a lot for me.
My friends don't really get married that often.
Right. Because you're only
friends are your PlayStation Vita.
Exactly. They never get married.
And your steampunk armor.
Yeah. Andy is, I guess,
the only married in the
room now. That really
sounds like a slur.
He's The married.
He's a married.
Oh, boy.
Look at the married over there.
Oh, boy.
Are October weddings cheaper?
Are they more romantic in some way? We got married in January for financial and for the beauty of the snow, guys.
Right, right, right.
Married in New York.
But, yeah, so I don't know about October.
Definitely, I guess it seems like
July-ish, April-ish, May-ish.
That's probably the high season.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah, I feel like I've...
Anyways, well, this wedding,
this wedding that I went to
was a destination wedding.
It was in Cabo San Lucas.
Nice.
It was my buddy Mike
whose bachelor party
I've mentioned planning and then going to on the show.
And so, yeah, I had never been to a destination wedding before.
I had been to Cabo for one day.
I had worked there for one day a few years ago.
So I kind of sort of understood what I was getting into, but I had never, like, hung out there.
You know, I had never tried to have any fun. I'm impressed that you went to a destination wedding because I've been invited, but I had never hung out there. I had never tried to have any fun.
I'm impressed that you went to a destination wedding because I've been invited, but I never
go.
Oh, interesting.
Where have you turned down destination weddings, too?
They're all tropical like that.
It's like, go to Costa Rica or some crap like that.
I'm like, I'm not doing that.
What about that is not appealing to you?
I just don't.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know why I never go.
I just have never gone.
Because you're going on a big trip, but it's on somebody else's timetable.
Right.
No, yeah, yeah.
It is sure.
It is kind of like if you were on a budget, your year's vacation budget is just like,
oh, you're spending it in Cabo now.
And you're doing this.
We love each other.
Duh.
I went.
That's my impression of married people.
That's what married people seem like.
That's what those marrieds are like.
Right, those marrieds.
Yeah, I'm doing of married people. That's what married people seem like. Those marrieds. I'm doing an offensive married voice.
It's my offensive married character.
You got your married face on.
No, I love you.
Love kids.
It's part of my SNL audition reel, too.
Sure, great.
It's great.
I think I'm working on it.
Which is the catchphrase?
I mean, duh, I love you.
Yeah, it's great. That's, I think, duh, I love you. Sure.
That's, I think, one I can see on T-shirts.
Keep going back to it.
You know, kind of workshopping some others, you know.
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
We have a joint bank account.
That's very specific.
You know, I think these will be the new.
How many deductions am I supposed to take?
That's a really.
More tax humor.
More tax humor.
That's what this thing needed.
I went to a destination wedding both in Rome in the last couple of years.
Wow.
That's a cool one though.
It was cool.
It was really nice.
But the best one I went to, which I met a guy on the street that I hadn't seen in years.
And he invited me to his wedding a few weeks after that was in Poland.
And that was the best destination wedding I've ever been to.
Was he from Poland?
He was marrying a Polish girl.
Oh, interesting.
Were they married in a submarine with a screen door on it?
Because I've heard a lot of – is that an old Polish joke?
No idea.
They have a submarine with a screen door on it because all the water would get in.
Oh, the screen door.
Sure, I understood.
I immediately was trying to figure out the movie reference you were trying to connect it to.
That's from Das Boot.
Polish submarine.
I don't, and I screened out the screen door part.
No, I was referencing a racist joke.
Oh, gotcha.
That's why my brain doesn't go there.
Because I'm a good person. Oh, boycha. That's why my brain doesn't go there. Because I'm a good person.
Oh, boy.
But it was great.
Huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What is Poland like?
It was awesome.
It's ancient and ancient is probably very insulting to them.
But it's sort of – it has a lot of history and this was prior to my being married.
The women are just breathtaking. They're
amazing. Really? Huh. In Poland?
Yeah. And it's a sharp
divide, at least this was a while ago,
but it was a sharp divide between
the people that were very excited
that you were American and the people that were very
angry that you were a rich,
horrible American. Oh, great.
That makes anything more fun.
Yes. Wondering if someone's going to punch you. Right. I makes anything more fun. Yeah, right. Yes.
Wondering if someone's going to punch you.
Right, right.
I got in a couple of mere fights because we would hang out late at night.
And people would just hear your American drawl.
In fairness, we were drinking a lot and there were just a lot of social situations where you're talking to a girl and maybe you shouldn't be talking to that girl and then somebody comes up and there's trouble. Sure. Interesting. What was going on? Was there
something politically going on at the time that people were mad about? My instinct was it was an
economical issue. It just sort of felt like most of the Americans that probably go there probably
are horrible wealthy Americans. It turned out I was only mid-range, so I'm only a mid-range horrible person.
Well, congratulations.
Hopefully you got to tell them that before they punched you in the face.
I did.
I'm a mid-range.
I'm a mid-range.
I'm actually a fast runner, so I don't.
When the Polish punch is coming for your face and you scream, I'm mid-range, I'm mid-range, they think about it or they just drop it down to the body.
They make it a body shot.
But Jordan, please.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's hear about your wedding.
So this was in Cabo San Lucas.
And I think the most telling thing about Cabo San Lucas or a thing that I think is very descriptive of its whole vibe
is when you get off the plane and you're going through customs.
Now, this is customs.
This isn't the airport terminal.
This isn't the place where you get a magazine and get some food.
This is customs.
This is a government area in an airport.
They are playing videos of a wet T-shirt contest.
Yes.
That is their welcome to our land.
Sure.
It's the equivalent of a slot machine in Vegas.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
But like with tits.
Exactly.
They play to their strong point.
Kids are just in there and yeah, you were just – and while you're waiting in line, you just watch a video of a wet t-shirt contest.
That's amazing.
Is it on loop?
Yes, it is on loop.
I saw the same wet t-shirt contest maybe two and a half times before I got through customs.
See, now you can make fun of that, but they would have a very high-rated podcast.
Right.
Yes.
Oh, true.
Sure.
The Cabo San Lucas Airport Customs Podcast.
Fascinating.
Very.
Lucas Airport Customs Podcast.
Fascinating.
Very.
And it kind of – I mean I guess what Cabo is is it's a spring break destination.
And I had never spring breaked before.
I mean there was a time when I was going to school and I didn't go to school for a week.
But I never did the Daytona Beach, Cabo San Lucas Lucas we're too young to drink
but let's drink anyway
it's great
and like that
yeah
let's crash a jet ski
oh yeah
like that girl's doing shots
and someone's
I don't know
did you guys
did you guys do a traditional
balls to the wall
shot shot shot
spring break
no
no
look at us
yeah
it wasn't that cool
it wasn't very cool
you just
there you go that's on brand I'm just kidding I really wasn't that cool. I wasn't very cool. You just – There you go, Brianna.
That's on brand.
I'm just kidding.
I really wasn't.
I really –
You just took that time to work on your Sailor Moon costume.
No.
I think it was – I just like was like – just like had no friends.
Like I didn't even have like cool hobbies.
She's on track.
She's got it.
There we go.
There we go.
Interesting.
So yeah.
Because you were so awkward then.
Yeah.
My boobs were so big. No one knew how to then. Yeah. My boobs were so big.
No one knew how to talk to me.
Your boobs came in early.
It was horrible.
So yeah.
So this is – so Cabo kind of knows what the drill is.
It's no – and yeah.
And he gets kind of like Vegas.
It's like we realize why you're here.
You know.
Wet t-shirt contest.
To see tits.
As many as possible.
To see tits in public.
So, yeah.
But we went to a resort.
It was very, very beautiful.
And along the lines of.
What was it called?
It was called Hacienda Encantada.
Great.
Which means the house of tits.
I don't know Spanish.
Yeah, I think the house of being in love.
The house of...
Encantada?
Maybe it does.
Similar?
Yeah, something like that.
And so definitely something I noticed was that the employees, you know, everybody is very, very accommodating and
you get this wristband when you come in, you know, kind of like a paper concert wristband,
which means you are all inclusive.
So, you know, you just walk up to the bar, you just get a drink, you just order food
and then you just leave.
Sometimes without eating or drinking the thing.
So, yeah, it's kind of just this kind of carte blanche that you get.
You're not a big drinker,
are you, Jordan? Yes.
You are. Yeah, maybe
a little too, even to the point where I
maybe think a little too much. Okay.
I'm being conscious of my alcohol intake.
I gotta say, Jordan, I think that's off-brand too.
Oh yeah?
No, no, no.
I enjoy a glass of port
during... Maybe I'm pegging you Oh, yeah? Being a big... No, no, no. I enjoy a glass of port, dear Aiden.
Yeah, that is really... Maybe I'm pegging you guys wrong.
Maybe I'm putting you in a box.
Yeah, quit trying to box us in.
People can be different, Andy.
You're right.
You guys are three-dimensional human beings.
We're who we are.
Yes, I enjoy a little sherry around the Christmas tree.
Just trying to sell the action figures, guys.
No, no, no.
This is interesting.
Let's divert here for a second.
Andy, we only met when we were kind of teamed up by our management to do this web series
and then Bria kind of came on later.
That's interesting that you think that the Jordan Morris experience doesn't involve maybe
a little too much drinking.
What would you expect? What would you expect?
What would you expect?
Well, I base it on your interactions socially and your focus as a – or your interest as a writer, which to me seem, you know, very –
Oh, because writers certainly never drink.
No, because you're much more polished than sloppy drunk, I would say.
You're kind of like a polished and like have a very mannered way of speaking.
Exactly.
And I think that that doesn't go along with blackout drunk guy.
Absolutely.
And you're, I would say, amongst all of us, you would be the person I would most characterize as the mediator.
Because no matter what conflict was going on, well, yes, that's true.
All right.
You're the logical.
Are you a Libra?
I don't know anything about that.
I don't either.
You went first.
That's what I am and that's what I feel like.
I have no idea.
I just guessed.
That's okay.
Me either.
I'm glad that you don't because that's weird.
I tried.
It was great.
The astrological thing?
Yeah.
No, no.
I mean I feel like I am – I mean, I feel like I'm a big, like, social drinker.
I feel – I get a little antsy when I'm in my house too long.
Oh.
And my default is always get someone to go to a bar with me.
Oh.
Interesting.
Yeah.
But no, but you don't do the drinking at home by yourself.
No.
Well, that's good.
Sometimes I'll make a little cocktail.
Sure.
But, yeah, I'm a big, like, if I'm in my house for too long and nothing is happening, my default is always bar.
Oh, yeah.
And then, like, hot wings are usually also involved, which is not the healthiest habit.
But that's not your – what is your persona?
See, this is where I'm rude.
Sure, then we'll –
Because we only recently became familiar with each other.
I don't know that much about the podcast or your persona on it.
Sure.
Are you more of a frat boy on this podcast?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm just talking about how much I love LMFAO.
Sure.
Fucking jet ski accidents that I've gotten into.
Absolutely.
Popping collars.
No, I mean, but I, you know,
I, right, I mean, I guess
I guess I would call myself a big
social drinker. I don't know.
And also a very
kind of boisterous, ridiculous drunk, too.
Huh. Yeah, like, you know.
I've really been missing out. Do you not drink very much,
Andy? I've only seen work
Jordan. Oh, yeah.
I have increasingly partaken more as my stress level has increased over the years.
But really I'm a latecomer to drinking.
I'm a latecomer to pot because I always sort of felt like, no, I don't want to hinder my faculties.
I need to hold on to the ones I have.
But every once in a while I'll do the drink or, you know, when I started smoking pot only a couple of years ago.
Oh, interesting.
Was part of it moving to California where it's easier to get?
Because you were a New York guy for the longest time, right?
Yeah, I only became a California.
I refuse to say I'm a California guy.
I only temporarily moved to California.
I wish they all could be California guys.
David Lee Roth version.
No, it was the last two years in New York.
I think I was just at a friend's house.
And, you know, I'd smoke pot, but I've always been like, nah, I just feel like I'm slow and I'm not sure that I'm not saying anything wrong.
Even more than usual.
I'm not sure that I'm not saying anything wrong, even more than usual.
And then I was at a friend's house and I was relaxed and I was like, oh, that feeling is gone.
Yeah, yeah.
The feeling that's just sitting in the back of my shoulders constantly is gone.
And that's when I was like, oh, maybe this is nice.
How long have you lived in L.A.? Really only like four months.
I mean, I've been coming back and forth for, you know, over a decade.
Yeah, that's funny that you say that.
I guess I would have pegged you for – I mean because I feel like since I've been going to –
I was going to say I've been going to the UCB theater since I've moved here and I feel like I've seen you more than a handful of times.
Yeah, than I do ASCAD or whatever, drop in on shows.
But yeah, I've been a New York resident and just resisting every step of the way coming out here.
It's tough for those New Yorkers.
In terms of?
To move, to make that LA move.
I mean, it seems like something
that most showbiz New Yorkers
eventually just kind of have to buck up and do,
but it's tough.
Yeah, there's no,
I'm just fighting common sense after a while.
But yeah, but I was born in Manhattan.
So it's even more in my bones to just be like I shouldn't be here.
There's something wrong with me being here.
People in New York, they have like allergies to LA.
It's an issue.
I literally think that's true.
Just so you know, in New York, it's like this.
And I started a club for a while, which I called LA is not New York.
LA is not New York.
Just so you know, it's not New York.
It's not the same when people are like, but in New York, it's like this.
I'm like, we're in fucking L.A.
Right.
We're in like the worst city on the planet.
Of course, it's not like New York.
We literally live in like the grossest, nastiest place where people are the evilest.
Where are you from?
Texas.
Yeah, because you have, I mean, even a similar vibe, I feel like comes.
You're from or you spent most of your adult life right in Austin?
In Austin, yeah.
Okay, interesting.
So there's even, I mean, there's even its own little prejudice there I feel like because it is such a like fucking let's hang out.
Hang out, drink cheap beer and make art.
We like to make art in Austin too.
Oh, sure, sure, sure.
We're very arty.
A lot of turquoise.
Yeah, of course.
A lot of feathers.
Yeah, some like wolf howling at the moon or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it's a very different world it's very people are like what's it like in
in big city la like everybody when i moved here i was really scared someone was going to pull out
a gun and shoot me on the highway because that was whatever that was what my idea of la was
because only the movie la story right but no i mean just generally people like you know there's
they get road rage and they shoot you and i'm'm like, that would happen in Texas way more likely.
There's way more guns and trucks in Texas than there are in L.A.
But it was what I was really concerned about when I moved here.
Oh, interesting.
And kind of to circle back around a little bit, what was your drinking life like in Austin versus how it is in L.A.?
Were you the cheap beer every night, fucking punk rock, but with a slide guitar?
Sure.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Very cheap beer, drinking most nights kind of thing.
And then I moved to LA and it was really expensive and that really shocked me because I moved
here and I think I had saved up like $900 or something and I was like, this will be
great, right?
This is fine.
And Austin, there's like a ton of money.
That's three months rent
and I can get a whole new
living room set.
It was like I lived
in the weird,
like it was a,
well, they can't see us,
but we're in a very tiny room.
It was about as big as this
and I shared it with another girl.
This giant studio that we're in.
This huge, huge, massive room.
And it was like
in some dude's backyard.
on expensive leather couches.
Yeah.
Exactly.
It was, yeah.
Andy, there's Shayise lounges.
My apologies.
But I go through phases of drinking.
I drink sometimes, but I am much more of a social drinker.
But I'm very much like whiskey on the rocks or cheap beer.
I still have those Texas roots.
See, that fits brand.
I can see that.
Because then that adds to the punk rock aspect.
Gotcha.
By the way, you have written a comic book. I can see that. Yeah. That's sort of because then that adds to the punk rock aspect. Gotcha. Gotcha.
Of the.
By the way, you have written a comic book.
Yeah.
So you can't be that off brand.
No.
I mean, I love comics.
I do.
I'm a big.
I just don't.
I don't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You just don't want to be pegged so that you can be sold and have a successful career.
You know what?
I'm already pegged and already sold.
It's fine.
It's fine.
I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not, you know, knocking it. I just fine. It's fine. I'm not knocking it.
I just don't like to lie and be like, my favorite video.
I love playing Dishonored because I don't even know.
Good pull, though.
Good job.
I read Twitter, guys.
I read Twitter.
You got to get to it every weekend.
Well, that is something that we definitely like.
That is definitely a plot point in an episode of Game Shop is that like faking
nerdery
because it is such a strong
brand and it is something that goes on a lot
I think. Interesting. So it's yeah
but it's definitely because I could
see you going to a place where you do have these certain
kind of nerd tendencies
but it is nice to see that you will
own up to the fact
that there are certain crevasses of that world that you just don't know about.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's not, I mean, you know, and more power to people who like it.
I mean, I think it's, I mean, yeah, it's just not something I've ever been into.
You did, to be fair, you did give me a lot of wedgies on set.
I did.
And I would talk about Borderlands.
Yeah.
And like some, and I'd put your head in the toilet and flush it.
What's that called?
Swirly? Swirly?
Swirly.
Classic bully.
And I wouldn't stop it, but I would say that's off-brand.
You're acting like a so.
She need to act like a nerd.
Oh, so yeah.
So circling back around to Cabo.
So yeah.
So this – so hard drinking is kind of the order and definitely the guys I'm with.
I was this guy.
This guy, I was his only like work friend.
We worked together at Fuel TV for years.
And it's a small wedding.
It's a destination wedding.
So everybody else there is one of his bros from San Diego.
Oh, wow.
Capital B bros.
I mean, yes, these guys, yeah, just wanted to talk about Pennywise and the Misfits.
Amazing.
Wearing their tuxes with backwards baseball caps.
Right.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All terrific, nice guys.
But, yeah, but very much how you would imagine, you know, how you imagine San Diego bros to bro down.
Anyways.
Bro down a good title for something.
Right.
Yes.
Let's put a pin in that. Andy, I'm glad you're trying to turn this into business. I Down, a good title for something. Right, yes. Let's put a pin in that.
Andy, I'm glad
you're trying to turn this
into business.
I just feel like...
I'm sorry,
I already sold that
to Warner Brothers.
God damn it!
She texted so fast.
Oh, TJ Miller's in it.
I fucking know it.
Oh, I fucking know it.
Is he your nemesis?
I mean,
I have a little bit of a
friendly rivalry,
and by friendly rivalry, I mean intense mind rivalry.
So he doesn't know about it.
He has no idea.
Any other dude with curly hair, I kind of look at their success a little bit sideways.
Like Stephen Wright.
Exactly.
Whenever fucking Stephen Wright.
I'm the same with blondes with short hair.
When I see them, I'm like, who is that?
What is she doing?
Right.
And I'm the same with white, middle-of-the-road human beings.
So your life is a living hell because everyone, all people – oh, no.
So my point about the staff of this place in Cabo, Hacienda Encantada, kind of along the lines of the ugly American thing we were talking about earlier is that like every time I would like have a question or a – just – I think my all-inclusive bracelet included a certain kind of whiskey but not Canada Club and I ordered a Canada Club and they had to tell me that my bracelet didn't get me that particular liquor. But there was another one.
Reasonable misunderstanding.
But they would recoil.
And their tone would be so apologetic as to make me uncomfortable.
Like it was –
The people who worked at the place.
Right.
The people who worked at the place.
And I was like, oh, that's so weird that every time you know there's just a little misunderstanding the that apology comes so hard and fast and
intense like i'm like oh but the people who usually come to this resort are probably the
fucking worst like there are probably so many ugly americans there with like a kindle actually
ugly people.
Oh, yes.
People who are like hideously unattractive.
Right.
Yes.
The ugly American stereotype and also unattractive.
Lots of boils.
Yeah.
They probably do get that kind of awful treatment that a resort staff would get.
Anyway.
So, yeah.
That was an interesting thing that I had to deal with is like being apologized to too much that just made me really sad oh i'm sorry it's kind of a
bummer well you know it's good the podcast has ups and downs right you want to have a fucking bummer
right in the middle uh but the opposite of a bummer uh we went into town one night to Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, Jesus.
Speaking of Van Halen, I think I said David Lee Roth earlier.
So Sammy Hagar, of course, the replacement singer of Van Halen, has a restaurant and a signature tequila brand out there.
Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina.
Just as a mind
exercise,
what do you guys think? When I say that,
what do you guys think
goes on there?
I can just picture
bright green.
Everything's green because of the Cabo
Wabo. Yes.
Orange, probably. And maybe it's a little
psychedelic? Why? Yes. Right. Orange, probably. And maybe it's a little psychedelic. Why?
Yes.
I'm guessing Van Halen plays in, at least in the soundscape in some way.
Yes.
Or maybe the Sammy Hagar solo stuff.
Yes.
Yes.
Both yes and yes.
Pictures.
I Can't Drive 55 probably came on five times in the hour that we were there.
Themed drinks.
Mm-hmm.
Toward the song. The Wabo Rita. There you go. Oh, my God. The hour that we were there. Themed drinks. Mm-hmm. Toward the song.
The Wobbo Rita.
There you go.
Gross.
And a lawsuit from Jimmy Buffett's Mexican restaurant.
I know this is one of the most obnoxious things to hear a comedy guy talk about, but I wrote
a sketch once that was a mediator trying to get Sammy Hagar and Jimmy Buffett to merge
their restaurants, but they hated each other.
Amazing.
That's good.
That also makes its way into my SNL packet.
I am currently not a writer for SNL.
Jordan, when Game Shop hits the, I was going to say airwaves, but it's not.
Computer waves.
Just over some wires.
The wire system.
I guess my point about the Cabo Wabo Cantina, it is maybe the place that I've been to that is the most like I had imagined it.
Like I walked into it and I'm like, this was in my brain on the way over.
Like psychedelic parrots going crazy on the walls.
Yes.
Lots of Van Halen and just like 50-year-olds in Dockers and Crocs making asses of themselves. Yes. Lots of Van Halen and just like 50 year olds
in Dockers
and Crocs
making asses
of themselves.
Right.
Like it was
it was exactly
like it
it existed
in my brain.
Very interesting.
And yeah.
Horrifying.
And terrible cover band
that kind of
alternated between
a Van Halen song
or a Sammy Hagar song
and then just
name your bad band.
Name Nickelback you know Red Hot Period, Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Yeah.
It's interesting just the phenomena of the cover band, particularly in that scenario where it's like if you have any love of Van Halen, you're only going to be disappointed by the cover band.
Yes.
So it's strange that that would be the choice.
Yeah, but they're live.
They're here.
It's a band.
This terrible version.
But I'm looking at, yeah, they were all kind of, I can talk to these guys after.
Yes.
So that's kind of what that was like.
So that was a fun evening.
The reception was lovely.
Nice.
On the beach.
Great.
Great.
Did she wear like a bikini dress or was it like an actual dress?
It was very classy.
It was a classy number.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
Definitely.
V-neck.
Was it a V?
Deep V.
Deep V?
We got so many hits on that wedding.
Fucking the sexy thumbnail on that wedding.
You brought it back.
Yeah.
That's right.
Unblocking the sexy thumbnail on that wedding.
You brought it back.
Yeah, that's right.
By the way, as a side note, they're asking for – the publicists are asking for Bar Pally.
Is that how you say your name?
Oh, sure. The faux nerd from the –
Yeah, we had a very lovely actress come in for one of the episodes to play this character we were talking about is the babe who doesn't really know about nerd stuff.
Just trying to capitalize on it.
Right, right.
And the publicists were asking what now?
They were asking –
Which I don't know if that girl would ever have to capitalize on anything.
Like I think she's fine.
She's going to be fine.
She's doing fine.
Whatever she wants to do, I would let her do surgery on my heart if she was like, I'm
this.
I'm like, I'm glad you are because you look the way you look.
Yeah.
She is a dish and just the most alluring accent.
Where was it from?
Israeli.
Israeli.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
That's a perfect one because you don't have any associations with it.
Right.
Right.
But they wanted a photo.
They want a photo of us.
They asked for photos.
And I was like, oh, all right.
Photos of us.
Oh, not of us.
Nope, nope, nope.
Colton happened to be standing behind her in a shot.
And that was one of the ones.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
Yeah, so we will their audience they know their audience
yeah no i was definitely afraid that whoever would play that part it would be an uncomfortable
day because they would be kind of playing that up while we were on set i was totally afraid we
would get someone who's like this is so me i love mario kart. I loved Spider-Man. They wouldn't get it.
I love Hugh Jackman in the X-Men movies.
You know, just that shallow, like, I did no work for this.
Right.
Anyways, but she was great. And definitely not one of those and just an Israeli babe.
Absolutely awesome.
She was so hot, it made me hate Iran more.
Iran.
I pronounce that wrong.
You really blew it there, Julian. I did, sorry.
Sorry, guys.
People in mid-laugh are like,
how did he pronounce that?
My mom always said Iran.
She's like, oh, they're over there in Iran
and I feel like I cannot
bring myself to pronounce it Iran.
I think Bush also pronounced it.
Oh, yeah. Didn't he?
My mom was married to George Bush.
Oh, your mom was married. Or is George Bush. My mom is also pronounced it. Oh, yeah. Didn't he? My mom was married to George Bush. Oh, your mom was married.
Or is George Bush.
My mom is also George.
Yes, my mom is George Bush.
Absolutely.
George Bush is a woman.
Weird.
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot about.
And your mom.
Yeah, and also my mom.
So, yeah.
Lovely wedding.
Classy dress.
And since I mentioned, I was kind of like the odd man out a little bit.
I was the only work friend in the wedding party and everybody else was just –
So all the women wanted to make out with you.
Yes, they didn't.
And I was like, ooh, work friend.
Get him over here.
Well, so here's kind of the relationship I had to that was that, you know, so me and the groom had worked for years together on Fuel TV.
And it was kind of like I was the host and he was the camera guy.
And later we were both kind of made producers together.
Nice.
But, you know, we always had that kind of host-camera guy relationship.
So I think and—
You're saying you were in the power spot.
Yes, exactly.
I acted like a dick.
And, you know, so I was clearly this kind of, you know, and they asked me to make a speech.
So I think kind of what happened was to sell me to the family.
What the bride did was to kind of get them excited about who I was.
They were like, oh, that's Mike's friend from work.
He's an actor.
He's an actor.
And then where are they from? They are's an actor. He's an actor. And then.
Where are they from?
They are all.
They're from.
Let's see.
I mean, mostly San Diego and kind of.
I don't know.
Points slightly north.
I don't know where.
Why would actor really be a positive selling point?
Well, I think for everywhere except Los Angeles, it's a positive.
Oh, that sounds novel.
It's novel. It's novel.
Right.
Exactly.
Like he works at Staples like that.
You know, like, oh, I want to ask him about reams of paper, you know.
So it was just kind of like and I could tell was just like, here's what we'll get them to talk to him.
Anyway, so I the show that Mike and I worked on together ended at the beginning of the year, but he kept working for the network and I did not.
As a camera guy, they still needed his skill set.
And as goofy host, they did not need mine.
So there's this thing is I have not been on that show.
And it's been a pretty good year for me.
The best.
Post that.
Game shop. that's right but and you know i i hosted a road trip show for uh for internet yeah yeah yeah at the beginning
of the year and you know i i had this other kind of sketch series that was just canceled
but and so you know it's like i'm sure they're wonderful they yeah and you know, it's like I'm like, yeah, they're wonderful. Yeah. And, you know, the podcast is going great.
So, you know, it's not like I've taken a hit after not having this job.
It's like, oh, it's I've been kind of steadily working and things are still good.
But try try explaining to a 50 year old aunt what a web series is.
Sure.
They all came up to me with this like, you know, they're like, so, Margot tells us you're
an actor.
Where can we see you?
And I'm sure they were expecting.
Are you on King of Queens?
Right.
Are you on King of Queens reruns?
That's right.
Like, I'm on it five.
Yeah.
I mean, I could see they were expecting CSI or a movie that was coming out and then I had to like just have this –
First you had to explain the internet.
Yes, I had to explain that thing that your cousin used to forward you.
The Russians in America came up with this technological communication system.
Right.
So interesting. So I so yeah, so I definitely had to like have probably five solid conversations with older ladies where they started out really excited and then just started looking around while I tried to explain what a podcast was.
That's amazing. And then they always the follow up question was and and this and I had I went to my mom's wedding last weekend and I kind of met some of my new extended family.
And they all asked me, their question was, so you make money doing that?
I love that.
You make money doing that?
I love that.
Awesome.
That's an appropriate question.
Right.
So blunt.
So blunt.
I know.
That's really crazy.
And then makes you go like, I don't know.
Do I make money?
I don't know.
Should I be making more?
I have a similar, people like to, because I directed this movie like a year ago.
People are like, oh, so do you make money doing that?
I'm like, no, actually I make my money acting, which is harder.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if it's really harder.
But that's my new sassy comeback.
Good.
Nice.
Because I have a lot of – although if you ever do – I did – I'm just going to drop my resume if that's cool.
Do it.
I did Dexter and then right afterwards I did NCIS LA.
And I was on Dexter for like, you know, a few episodes.
Sure.
And it was getting a lot of – whatever.
People were really excited.
But when I went home, no one cared and everyone was like, I saw you on NCIS LA.
Right.
Definitely.
And I'm like, really?
Who watches NCIS LA?
And I'll tell you, everyone I know from my hometown.
NCIS is just – it's one of if not the top show.
I mean, I guess it is.
It's just I don't watch it.
And so it was such a weird like – everybody saw it. I played this goth girl. It's weird that we if not the top show. I mean, I guess it is. It's just I don't watch it. And so it was such a weird, like, everybody saw it.
And I played this goth girl.
It's weird that we're.
It was very, everybody remembered.
We're the Hollywood people.
We're the people making the media.
And yet we don't watch any of the things that America is interested in watching.
Yeah, we're totally out of the loop. I remember being a – I remember in LA going to Best Buy the day that the Arrested Development season one DVD set came out and not being able to find one.
Oh, wow.
Going from Best Buy to Best Buy in LA because everyone had bought these Arrested Development DVDs.
Oh, wow. Okay. Great.
But further evidence that like the media consumption here is just nothing like it is beyond.
Yeah.
Anyway.
But yeah, I mean I guess – right.
I mean tons of people I know watch Dexter and have little parties and make little cupcakes.
Totally.
But –
Not the rest of America.
The rest of America is very – yeah.
Which is a common question.
I think it's a really weird thing and it's one of the only like jobs where people can say
like I was renting a car
in Dallas
like not too long ago
and the guy was like
what do you do in Los Angeles
and I was like
oh I'm an actress
and he was like
well do you make money
doing that
and I'm like
I don't know
you just rent me a car
I didn't
actually I was
it was like 2 in the morning
and I was a little grumpy
about it
and he's like
would I have seen you
in anything
and I was like
do you recognize me
then I guess you haven't
seen me in anything
I was like in pure bitch mode at the moment.
Just say porn.
A lot of porn.
Porn.
That'll end that conversation.
That'll end that conversation.
That's a good idea.
What is the thing that you're recognized from the most?
Heroes, usually.
Still heroes.
Some Dexter stuff.
But people actually don't recognize me from Dexter as much.
Do you think that that's just sort of fanaticism
of fan base? I think so.
I mean, and Heroes was such a phenomenon, though.
I mean, the first season was crazy. People were
so insane about the show, and then
it started losing audience
second season, and then by my season, which was the third,
it lost a lot. But people
still... But those Heroes people are still
the Heroes people. Yeah.
I mean, it wasn't a big top ten hit, but fucking Heroes people are still the Heroes people. Like, I mean, it wasn't a big, you know, top ten hit, but like fucking Heroes people are serious about it, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And they were very serious.
And yeah, and still like people constantly, like that's the main thing.
People are like, oh, I loved you in Heroes.
People still say like that pretty often.
Yeah.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
who mainly is a writer and a behind-the-scenes guy,
when you have to meet, you know,
your wife's cousins or a random guy,
what do you say to make the conversation as comfortable as possible?
It's usually a toss-up
because the credit that gets the most response
is that I was a writer on Late Night with Conan
when I was in New York.
But that, of course, in and of itself is sort of a can of worms of then, you know, I then
have to have probably a hundred identical conversations about Late Night with Conan.
Yeah.
Right.
What's Conan like?
Yes.
What's Conan?
That's exactly.
That's exactly the, you know.
So sometimes I'll just say porn.
I write porn.
I feel like it is sort of a choice in most of those conversations of I can allow myself to seem less interesting or I can, you know, or I can tell them a thing that's going to lead to a conversation that I've already had a million times. Sure.
Because, guys, I got nothing else of interest to say.
Two hours.
You have not read any books.
You have not seen any movies.
Sure.
Well, I can talk about movies.
But I don't find that in most of those conversations, man, I think we're all snobs, right?
We're snobs.
Yeah, I was just thinking how snobby I like all those things sound.
But it is like the weird, well, one, I mean, because I don't want to get defensive as part of it.
I mean, people are like, oh, I've never seen Heroes.
Was that a big show?
And I'm like, yeah, it was – I mean, I guess not if you haven't seen it.
I mean, I guess my life is unimportant.
They want you to defend.
Yeah, and like this weird like where I start to feel really like, yeah, go home and snob.
Guys, let's never leave this sound booth.
I know.
We get each other.
All those horrible regular people.
I know.
With their not watching Arrested Development.
That's right.
Oh, those.
And their reasonable questions about Conan O'Brien.
How dare they be excited about something.
How dare you not know what a podcast is, middle-aged woman.
Be on the cutting edge.
I would like her to bring up things that you
would not know about like where she starts talking about like like her needlepoint and stuff and like
you're like i don't get and she's like you don't get that and like she's really bitchy back to you
i like that yeah but i think the thing that i the thing that i don't like about it not is
explaining what a podcast is which is fine i'm happy to do it but it is that like
feeling like i'm disappointing them like that to me to me is the main bummer of that conversation is that they don't know what that is and just assume you're a bar those particular situations you can't get to without rocking the boat too much.
Like, who don't you like in this family?
Where's the conflict in this room?
Oh, you could absolutely get to that point, I think.
If you really worked at it, you'd be like, so what's his story?
And like a good aunt will tell you the whole story, which would be great.
Right. Yeah. So what's his story? And like a good aunt will tell you the whole story. Right. Which would be great. Right.
Yeah.
Well, that's why I kind of actually like my wife's parents because they'll –
They shit talk?
They'll kind of – well, they don't shit talk, but they are interested in having the amusing conversation about the people in the vicinity.
Sure.
Who disappeared for a few weeks.
Exactly.
That's great.
Interesting.
for a few weeks.
Exactly.
That's great.
Interesting.
So, Bria,
you kind of have been in three kind of
really interesting
different pools.
Like, you've been
in the Heroes pool,
you've been in the Dexter pool,
you've been in the world
of comic book authorship.
And porn.
And porn, obviously.
Yeah, I mean,
most of it was in a pool, right?
Right, right.
Aqua porn.
God, that's probably a thing, isn't it?
Yeah, I bet.
Sure.
Always wearing a deep V, which actually worked against you.
Yeah, in the porn.
The porn name was never –
You were the prude in that one.
I couldn't not wear it.
That would be horrible.
In that, because you are in those three different sections, I guess, which one has the most crazies?
Oh.
Well, you're leaving one out.
You're leaving a big one out.
Well, I mean, I guess Dexter falls into this, but there's like the horror world because
I did.
Oh, that's right.
You were in the Halloween sequel.
I was.
I was.
The Rob Zombie Halloween sequel.
And that has like-
Not Season of the Witch.
No, no, no.
Not-
You're not 50.
Five more days till Halloween.
That's the third one.
That's not the- Season of the Witch is the third one.
Season of the Witch is the third one without Michael Myers. Right, right, right.
That's unrelated to the Nick Cage.
Oh, it is unrelated. To what?
Nick Cage did a movie called, it had I think
a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes at one point
which was amazing. Season of the Witch.
Oh, I've seen that. It's on Netflix. Him and Ron
Perlman hunt the devil. Right.
I don't know why people don't like that.
Who knows? Brilliant
on paper. Yes, there's a third Halloween that. Who knows? Brilliant on paper.
Yes, there's a third Halloween movie.
They just took out Michael Myers.
It's some murderous little kids.
Yeah.
No, it's not kids.
There's a mask factory.
Oh, that's right.
A hypno mask.
And the masks – and on Halloween at a certain time, all the kids wearing the masks turn into like little demons.
Right.
And so this guy is trying to stop it and he has a crazy mustache and like lots of chest hair.
It's amazing.
It's actually a really good horror movie. If you don't like – if you take out of – you take it out of the like the Halloween canon and you're like, this is not a Halloween movie.
Right.
If it was just called Season of the Witch before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
So yeah.
So you're in four different places that have kind of enthusiastic fans.
Right.
Who's the nuttiest?
You know, I don't know.
I don't get that many nutty fans.
I'm, like, really lucky on those lines.
I mean, horror fans are the most, like, loyal, which I really like.
Like, they will just keep – they keep coming.
They're, like, loyal and they keep coming they're like loyal
and they keep coming back and and that's really fantastic like anytime i do something horror
related they're like they're like oh my god it's a horror thing which is great because that means
like you know i know i always have that like built-in group of people who will come and watch
whatever i do which is like so lovely i always notice when i go to a comic-con when um you know
there's kind of that upstairs area of comic-Con with all the autograph signings.
Oh, right.
And those can kind of range from-
How does your booth do?
Huh?
How does your booth do?
Oh, the Legends of Podcasting booth?
Sure.
Not a huge lineup.
No?
Not a huge lineup.
There is, there are those, and it can range from like kind of cool to, oh, you know, no one is there to see the honky tonk band from the glory days of WWF.
But the lines that always have just fucking, you know, that are out the door with crazy, crazy, happy to be there fans are like Ken Foray from Dawn of the Dead and Elvira and like, you know, people who were in a legendary movie or thing but, you know, maybe didn't do a ton after that.
Sure.
Like, you know, the guy from Monkey Shines, you know, like are super beloved.
I wonder why that is.
I don't know.
But they are like – I mean I would say like just regarding your question, like comic books – I don't know if if people don't take me that seriously as a comic book writer
I mean they kind of
I mean I've done
this is my third series
but I mean I've seen
like major fans
come up to like
bigger people
and maybe they've been
a little weirder
towards other dudes
or whatever
but for the most part
the comic book fans
are pretty tame
pretty like
really nice
really you know
whatever but
and a little
maybe a little brainier
you know
right right
really intelligent
yeah yeah
I mean sure because they read I mean. Yeah, yeah. I mean, sure, because they read.
I mean, they read something.
Reading is involved.
Yeah.
But the horror fans, and I mean, I don't mean this as a slide off.
They're like really loyal.
They're really loyal.
And they have no idea what it is.
But it's like once you have that like in your blood.
And I'm a little like this.
So I kind of get it.
I love horror movies.
And I love sci-fi movies.
And like that kind of I do freak out a little bit
when I see some horror people.
Nice job, Brie.
Oh, do you like that one?
That's good branding.
That's good.
No, that was true.
That's true.
But I,
I don't know.
I don't know what it is
that makes that like
the more like
beloved thing
where they don't turn on you.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
Is that like,
I mean,
I love some Heroes fans
and they're lovely but they will turn on you and like they will be like, That's what it is. Is that like, I mean, I love some Heroes fans and they're lovely, but they
will turn on you. And they will be like,
I did not like this episode. And it's like, I
offended them. And I'm like, I'm sorry.
I don't write it. Yeah, there's a real love hate.
Yeah, they'll be like, I never bought your, they'll be like,
oh, I loved Heroes, but I never bought your relationship
with Greg Grunberg. And I'm like, okay, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to like hurt your feelings.
You know, but the horror fans,
they don't really turn on you that much.
They're more like they're like, oh, that movie wasn't that good.
But I thought you did a good job on it or whatever.
They'll be like, I didn't really get it, but I loved it anyway.
Like forgiving or something.
You know, it's interesting.
It's like there are those guys like like Robert England, who was Freddy.
Like if you just watch a lot of horror movies and maybe like a lot of direct toto-DVD horror movies or kind of, you know,
not lesser but like lower-profile horror movies.
Robert Englund is just
in that shit.
All the time.
Tony Todd,
who has a cameo
in Game Shop.
He totally does
and I was excited to meet him.
Right.
Candy Man.
Like, those dudes...
And people are excited
immediately.
Right.
Just even seeing that he's in it.
But he also did Hatchet.
Or did you do Hatchet 1
or Hatchet 2?
He's in the second Hatchet.
I know he's in the second one.
It's been a while since I've seen the-
The first one also, I think.
Is he the villain in Hatchet?
He's like the doomsayer.
He's that like, don't go into that swamp guy.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Try to make that not sound racist.
Don't go into that swamp voice.
I thought his voice-
That was pretty good.
I tried to do it without-
I saw the hesitancy though.
So it was like halfway between the character and, you know, just backing off of it.
So, yeah, it is.
Do it full throttle.
You should.
Right.
What about Mary Doomsayer?
Duh, don't go into that swamp or I'll divorce you.
Great.
What a character.
Yeah.
You should just do that for the aunts at the wedding.
Just do that character.
Yeah.
I'm these guys who
just got married.
This is my acting.
Do you like it?
So yeah it is
interesting that like
those guys like you
know maybe they don't
pop up in you know
sitcoms or anything
but they're just
always being in horror
movies.
They're not even in
like Sinister or like
the movies that are
like in the movie
theater right now.
They're like in the
like straight to DVD or the horror festivals because the horror festivals are a pretty big thing too.
Oh, that's right.
The Fangoria stuff.
Yeah, the Fangoria.
I just went to Screamfest and like, you know, and they have like little indies alongside of bigger movies at Screamfest, which is kind of cool.
Yeah.
But like, yeah, the people like they're just like, yeah, loyal, loyal.
That's a good crowd.
You guys should make horror movies.
Have you thought about doing that?
Seriously.
Yeah.
Maybe a horror podcast.
Was your film a horror movie?
The movie I directed?
Yeah.
It has horror elements.
Horror elements.
That's the way I put it.
Horror elements.
Horror elements.
It has one Hydra toward the end.
Just right in the middle.
A Hydra kills everyone.
I just scream at one point.
That doesn't matter.
It's just working in an office.
It's not causing terror. Yeah, right, right. Oh, yeah. It's just chilling. It's just working in an office. It's not causing terror.
Yeah, right, right.
Oh, yeah.
It's just chilling.
It's just an office hydra.
Yeah.
And it's married.
And it's married.
I have seven heads.
Well, we'll be back in a love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, Morris Boy Detective. Bria Grant. What was mine again? You can come up with a new one.
Yeah, you can come up with a new one.
I'm going to go Bria Grant, Deep V.
I'm going to switch it every time.
Love it.
Oh, great.
It's on you, Secunda.
Do I have to come up with a new one?
I mean, or you can go back to your other.
Do you feel like it beats Deep V?
No, I feel like now I'm not prepared,
so I'm going to stick with Andrew Secunda,
Intergalactic Space Pirate.
No, boy.
I liked that one.
I liked it. Both good nicknames.
You guys are both doing very well in the nickname department.
Sad Intergalactic Space Pirate.
There's not as much intergalactic booty as there used to be.
Plundering stuff when you're weightless.
I made the Kessel Run in 19.
run in 19 parts.
Bree and Andy appear
with me in the very fine
web series
Game Shop, which is on youtube.com
slash start. And I think it's
probably when this episode
is up, the first episode of our show
will probably be up too. So check it out.
It already has 900,000
hits. Go check it out. Cool. It already has 900,000 hits.
Totally.
Go check it out.
It's crazy.
Just go to the internet. The feature film.
It'll be the first one offered.
Yeah.
Whatever you Google.
Just type in internet.
That's right.
It's the first thing that comes up when you Google internet.
It's true.
Is our show.
We are leaving here to shoot the feature film.
That's how successful the first webisode has been web episode honestly that's how delusional I've
been is like I've liked it
so much and the chemistry between all you guys
is so much that I'm like immediately thinking
I really think this could be a feature film we gotta figure
out are you plotting a web
series yeah well I mean
you want the web series you know I think this is kind
of like what I see for a game shop
is kind of like what they were planning with Dark Tower
for a while is where you would like what they were planning with Dark Tower for a while.
It's where you would have three feature films, but then they are bridged by a TV series.
Oh, good idea.
So I think that like, you know, the webisodes can lead into a feature film, which can then lead into like.
We just need a billion and a half to just make sure that they all get done.
That's all.
Very reasonable.
At least the first one will get done for that much.
Yeah, absolutely.
It'll kind of be like the Lord of the Rings.
Right.
I mean, monetarily, I would say.
Yeah.
Like those were expensive movies, but I mean, they paid off.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
That's the way that people have to – if there's anybody out there with a billion and a half dollars, check out GameShop.
A sound investment if there ever was one.
Sound investment if there ever was one.
So, yeah.
So once in a while, and by once in a while, I mean practically every week, we like to dive into a bank of phone calls that we have received from listeners.
And we're going to do that now.
Lindsay, can we hear the first one?
Hey, Jordan, Jesse, possible guest.
I just got out of the dentist getting two fillings done in my front teeth on my way back to work.
The car behind me is driving with a skeleton
in the passenger seat wearing
a clown wig and like it's hands
up like it's waving.
Kind of freaked me out. Thanks.
Bye.
That may be the grim specter of death.
Who wears a clown wig?
But he's just trying to like, he's like people are always so bummed out to see me.
Sure. Let me pop this up a little bit.
Oh, so you're saying maybe the car he was riding in was about to get into an accident.
Maybe he was there to take the driver.
That would be even more – I was thinking that it was a sign to her.
But I think it's –
Can we check and see if she's still alive?
Yeah.
Is there a way to call her back?
Yeah, let's see. Is there a way to—
Maybe wait until the end so it doesn't bum us out.
Right, right, right.
But in any event, if it's—
Like my abused resort employee story.
If it's the first option, I like that better that death is in the backseat of someone's car about to claim someone and is waving to other people.
Buckle up, guys!
Hey!
It's a major fuck you reference.
Check this out, guys.
And he holds up a little
sign that says,
don't text and drive.
Did she say she also
got fillings?
Yeah, she did also say
she got fillings.
Maybe she was hallucinating
because she was on
some sort of fillings.
Oh, could be.
On the phone,
hallucinating.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she got an immediate
wreck after that.
I guess a skeleton clown
could be a result of
some nitrous oxide residue.
Maybe.
I'm not sure.
Perhaps.
Okay.
Well, let's just assume that happened.
Great.
Very good.
We'll hope that she's okay.
Lizzie, can we have the next call?
Hey, Jordan, Jesse Goh.
This is Mark from Oregon.
I am right now at about 3 in the morning walking back from my girlfriend's apartment
to my dorm room.
And I'm calling to say that at 19 years old
in my second year of college,
I just had my first kiss.
Oh, my God, I love it.
Oh, honey.
Still, though, he didn't say hello to the guests.
Yeah.
No, that was great. No, he didn't say hello to the guests. Yeah. No, that was great.
No, that's the sweetest thing.
Interesting.
Because, I mean, a genre of call that we get a lot is I just lost my virginity or I just gave my first blowjob or I just had my first sexual experience X, Y, Z.
And that's kind of where I thought this was going.
I thought, I mean, because we've heard these types of calls before.
But I don't think we've ever had a first kiss.
And kind of what I was thinking is like, I'm walking back from my girlfriend's apartment.
I'm like, if you fucked, why don't you just sleep over?
Why are you walking back, you weirdo, at three in the morning?
You immediately turned on him.
Yeah, I did.
Oh, I did.
I will lash out at the listener.
I hate them. But no, this guy,
he was walking back at three in the morning because
they kissed, and he's like, he probably cannot
He's probably so excited. You know when you're just
walking, and you're like, I don't know where I'm going. Where am I?
You know, you're just so excited. Oh, totally.
He's probably going to wander
into traffic and be hit by a
car with a skeleton.
You know what's interesting is it's sort of an audio Rorschach test because I immediately, based on his energy, thought he's going to tell us that she just broke up with him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And this is going to be really sad.
But he was just nervous because he had just kissed someone for the first time.
That's really cute.
Yeah.
Adorable.
And it's nice.
And it's nice.
You know, you hear about these young people and their sext sexting and they're IMing pictures of their genitals to each other.
Yeah.
It's nice that this young man.
How about some good, clean American fun?
Right.
You wait till you're 19.
Right.
You make sure that the timing is right.
Right.
And yeah.
And you endure the harassment and critiques of your peers.
Sure.
And the long walk back from an apartment complex to a dorm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder why she lives in an apartment and he lives in a dorm.
Do you think she's much older?
She's an uptown girl.
Could be.
Yeah.
I hope she's like 45.
I hope she's 45 too.
And yeah.
And I hope this is her like, this is just some extreme pool boy situation for her.
I hope she is like a wealthy –
No, that would turn out terrible for him.
A wealthy cougar.
Well, that's a good story.
He would have a good first kiss story.
He'd be like, my first kiss.
Whatever the case, good for you.
With a wealthy countess at the other side of town.
I guess she would have more than an apartment.
Well, yeah.
Let's think more about her.
Yeah.
Who is that woman?
Well, good for you, Alyssa.
I mean, I think we, in general, as a podcast, support kissing.
Sure.
I think we like it.
We think it's a great way to show affection.
You should put that on their banner.
Do you have a banner?
No.
I'm sorry.
We probably should have a banner.
If you had a banner, you should say, you know, supports kissing.
Right.
Right. Exclamation point. Because you know what? So you should say, you know, supports kissing. Right.
Exclamation point.
Because you know what?
So many people come out as anti-kissing.
I know.
Such a strong anti-kissing lobby.
You've got Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan up there saying don't kiss.
Sing it, brother.
But you know what?
I think we should be able to.
Call me a bleeding heart lefty. You know, maybe I'm leading the other pinkos to the Kremlin here.
Finally, someone is saying this.
I think kissing is okay.
And I don't care which Republican right-wing hayseed knows that that's what I think.
God bless you, Jordan Morris.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I don't like to get political on this show, but sometimes I just get so angry.
He has such heart, you know.
That's really amazing. That's what I always say about him. Passionate. St, but sometimes I just get so angry. He has such heart, you know. That's really amazing.
That's what I always say about him.
Passionate.
Stands up for his beliefs.
Passionate.
Yeah.
Lindsay, do we have any more calls?
We have one more call.
Let's listen.
Hey, Jordan, Jesse Go.
This is Melissa Hahn in Asheville, North Carolina, also known as Beer City, USA.
And I work at a brewery, and today I got to make my very own beer for the first time on their awesome equipment
and it was amazing. Also, it's my birthday. So pretty amazing. Love the show. Thanks.
Drunk or not drunk? Oh, certainly drunk. Yeah, absolutely. Certainly drunk. Do you think they
let her make it from scratch? What do you think is the – I wonder. You know, I don't really know.
I'm aware that home brewing is a thing, but I don't really know what goes into it.
It seems like a process.
Isn't there something that has to ferment?
Yeah, it takes a while.
It takes a while.
And I guess that is quite an achievement if you can ferment something and time it so that it's exactly right on your birthday.
Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
I don't know.
Is that what she was doing?
Do you think that?
Maybe they just have like a quicker.
Or did she just start the process that day?
Oh, maybe she started a process.
It sounded like she did whatever she had to do and then drank it.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
We should dedicate at least 20 minutes to this thing that we don't know.
Not even a few of us know.
Speculating about home brewing.
Tune in next week.
We'll be talking about farm equipment and how it works.
Open heart surgery.
How do you do it?
It seems like that they would take some kind of a sharp object and just kind of make an incision of some kind.
Yeah.
How do you – it's behind the ribs.
So if you go through the slot, do you remove the rib?
I think you crack it open.
Well, I don't know.
There's literally no way to find out
check out my webinar um so this is an also interesting what she said uh ashville north
carolina um beer city usa bria as as as an austinite do you take offense to that do you
think that austin should be beer city usa oh i don't think so. Yeah? No. Okay. Sorry.
Have you been to Asheville, North Carolina?
No.
Is that why you're saying that?
Oh, no.
I mean, there's actually not as much brewing happening in Austin.
Oh, I guess there's more drinking than there is.
Drinking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We have like quite – for some reason we have more like tequilas and stuff happening there.
And vodkas.
A couple of vodkas from there.
But yeah.
Tito's Handmade Vodka.
Correct.
Austin. God, that is good. I only had that for the first time. I've never had that. It's an Austin thing. Yeah. and vodkas a couple of vodkas from there Tito's handmade vodka correct Austin
god that is good
I only had that
for the first time
I've never had that
it's an Austin thing
yeah
it's a thing
Tito is like a guy
he's a dude
he walks around Austin
is he?
I mean not like
walks around Austin
that's like if Mr. Peanut
was a guy
I know people who say
that they've met him
I've never met Tito
wow
he's everywhere
he's just like
hands out vodka
on the street
to children has a sack yeah he's like Santa Claus I'm Tito. I don't know if I'm acting like him. He's everywhere. He's just like, hands out vodka on the street. Doesn't he? That would be great. To children. Has a sack. Yeah.
He's like Santa Claus. I'm Tito. No, but he is. He is like an Austin institution.
How interesting. Huh. Yeah, but I guess, so I guess Austin, I guess I
mean, every time I've been to Austin, I have just had more beers than I
know I could drink. Because they're like a dollar. Right. That's, yeah.
So maybe it's not the beard capital of the world.
It's the drunk capital of the world.
Yeah.
It's the lush capital of the world.
Okay.
A little bit.
That's fair.

Okay. All right. Yeah. We love Deepfee. Yeah. Brea Deepfee Grant. Terrific. Andrew Secunda.
Really just kind of lost and aimless intergalactic space pirate.
Yeah.
I mean, just looking for a crew, looking for a barge.
Yeah.
Just need some work.
And I don't know.
There's something wrong with the ship and I can't quite figure out if it's in the engines or what.
You know what maybe I would suggest?
What's that?
Maybe get your notary license.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe it's just change of pace.
Intergalactic notary.
Real estate maybe?
Could be.
Real estate license?
Yeah, that's a great way to make a little fast money for sure.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
And maybe franchise a Cinnabon.
Open up one of those in an airport or something?
Cinnabons are very different in space.
Oh, really?
Oh, gross.
They're just, yeah.
They're not edible.
Sounds gross, yeah.
Okay.
And they're alive.
Yeah, you have to kill it before you eat it.
Yeah, and it plants an egg in your sternum.
And then when it comes out, it's delicious.
So the three of us have a new web series that will be online as of this broadcast.
It's called Game Shop.
It's at YouTube.com slash start.
I think there is a lot for everybody to enjoy in this program.
This sounds very couched.
Well, I was going to say – I was going to make the distinction that I think it is set in a game store and it is bankrolled by a video game website, IGN.
Correct.
I think that a general audience can appreciate this,
but I also think we've slipped in some deep cuts too.
I think that's an accurate evaluation overall.
Let me ask you guys a question
that we haven't talked about off the air.
IGN is now for sale.
Ooh, you want to buy it?
Guys, let's pool our money.
I just didn't know if that affected anything for us.
Oh, that's a good question.
This shows you how little people usually know about the things
going on behind the scenes where I'm an actor and people are like,
how's NBC doing? I'm like, what?
I don't know.
Sure. I hope it's not sold
before it's put up.
Well, I know now it is a
News Corp property.
It is owned by the same kind of tentacle monster that owns Fox and the Wall Street Journal.
Yes.
So, oh, interesting.
I didn't know.
I don't know if it's for sale or not.
It's for sale.
It's not on the internet.
On Craigslist?
It's on Craigslist.
One, yeah, one all-purpose male-focused website.
Can send photos.
Oh, interesting.
It fits in that we have almost universally right-wing rhetoric in the show.
Yeah, there's a – I mean I know that I went off on a little bit of a partisan jag, but I think for this series they wanted it to be very heartland, very – so yeah, there is a lot of right-wing rhetoric.
Interesting.
But yeah, but we do – I think I alluded to this on last week's show, but I'll say it again because I think it speaks to the amount of detail that went into this show.
And it's something I'm very proud of is that we wrote a joke where Andy, your character, his one big success was creating a ripoff of Tetris
that only appeared on the Panasonic 3DO.
Correct.
A Jordan Morris detail.
We wanted to see a 3DO later in the series,
so some poor PA had to drive out to Pomona,
which is one of the assier suburbs of L.A.,
and get a Craigslist 3DO because we had to see it in the show.
Correct.
And we put it in there.
I said 3DO at some point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's in there.
And Bria wires it to create – I'm giving away a little bit but I think it's OK because
it's so out of left field.
Yeah.
She creates a temporal rift by wiring it to an Xbox and a PS2, which is just a great convergence of several nerd and sci-fi specifics at once that really pleased me.
So gamers should watch it.
Non-gamers or casual gamers.
I kind of blew your argument that it appeals to everyone.
Just said. No, no, no. I think non-gamers or casual gamers I kind of blew your argument that it appeals to everyone just said just said
no no no
I think it's
I think non-gamers
also will enjoy
I think it's yeah
I mean we
I think we were pretty careful
to structure it in such a way
that even the deep cuts
has context
so everyone understands
there's still jokes
it's not just someone
leaning in and saying
Dreamcast
which would be hilarious
which would be hilarious
and probably
probably good for good for our numbers now that I think about it.
Season two, guys.
Season two.
Season two.
Somebody will just yell Dreamcast.
If IGN still exists at that point.
Right.
Or if it's – yeah, or maybe it will be sold to a –
Bill O'Reilly.
Bill O'Reilly.
Bill O'Reilly will personally buy it.
Bill O'Reilly's. Bill O'Reilly's. Bill O'Reilly will personally buy it. Bill O'Reilly's game corner.
He's like a big fan of him playing video games.
Yeah, Borderlands 2 is great.
Also, Mexicans should get jobs.
Bill O'Reilly.
Bria, you alluded to a comic book that you had written is coming out soon or might even be out as of this broadcast
as of this broadcast I believe so
what is it and where can people get it?
it's called Let's Play God and they can get it
at any comic book store
it's on IDW so it's
it should be out at any comic book store
as long as they ordered it and if they didn't
you should tell them to go fucking order it
because they should have it
because if there's one thing that guys who work at comic book stores like, it's being confronted.
They like hard confrontation.
They respond well to it.
No, but yeah.
But just fucking request it.
Be polite about it.
Request it at your local comic book shop.
If they say no, then urinate on the counter.
Right, sure.
Exactly.
Standard procedure.
And then just tell them I sent you.
Yeah, there you go.
The author personally said.
She said.
The co-author.
That this was cool.
The co-author, yes.
Well, terrific.
Anything else anywhere on the internet that people can find you if they want to follow you on Twitter?
Twitter.
You're delightful on there.
Yeah, it's just Bria Grant.
I was like, at?
You don't have to say at.
I wonder.
At symbol.
I feel like I still say at when I do Twitter.
But is that like your mom saying, go to www.
HTTP.
I don't think it is yet, but it depends on who listens to this in the future.
I'm Bria Grant on Twitter.
I'm good about tweeting the things that are happening, I think Bria Grant on Twitter. No, it's just... And that's... I'm good about
tweeting the things
that are happening,
I think.
Yeah.
Kind of.
If a thing's happening,
you'll tweet about it.
Sure.
Like a couple of things,
not all things.
Right.
Like not everything
in the universe.
Sure.
Right.
Am I being clear?
If someone invents
a new kind of sandwich...
I'd probably tweet about that.
Oh, okay.
So sandwich news.
Yeah.
Comic book news. This morning I saw you wrote, I lost my keys. Oh no, wait probably tweet about that. Oh, okay. So sandwich news. Yeah. Comic book news.
This morning I saw you wrote, I lost my keys.
Oh, no.
Wait.
I found them.
No, no.
I did not write that.
Oh, no?
No?
I guess I'm sorry.
I must have been a genius.
But I would tweet that.
Yeah.
That would also count.
Sure.
That's a good thing.
So key locations.
Maybe links to videos of yourself wearing deep Vs.
And deep Vs.
Yeah.
Guys, tune in.
Andy, I think, I suggest after people go and watch Game Shop, which they should, they should watch some of your Children's Hospital webisodes.
They're very funny.
Why not?
They're like what ifs, right?
That's right.
What if, you know, they're like, I mean, to use a comic book parlance, they are kind of what if stories.
Right.
And are they, do they have the same cast as the Children's Hospital?
Same cast.
Oh, I love it. Malin Ackerman, Rob Corddry, Henry Winkler, all the gang. Yeah. And are they, do they have the same cast as the Children's Hospital? Same cast. Oh, I love it.
Malin Ackerman, Rob Corddry, Henry Winkler, all the gang.
Yeah.
It was really exciting.
That's very fun.
Not part of the official continuity.
No, they're not canonical to coin a Jordan Morris term.
I don't know that you invented that term.
You made that up, right?
I do enjoy talking about it.
But it was referenced in the show.
But yeah, I don't think they're, that's the whole charm of it is that they're – although Children's Hospital has no continuous universe.
I don't think so.
Corddry is very proud of the fact that it's completely a new world every episode.
I was very excited at the prospect that it would sync up with NTSF SDSUV.
Yeah.
And I think we asked Paul Scheer about that the last time he was here, and it hadn't crossed his mind that they could do that, and I was very disappointed.
I'm like, guys, build a world.
Build a complicated world.
I think I was at a Q&A with them where someone asked that same question.
So clearly there is a desire for it.
People want you to build a world.
Sure.
A complicated world.
I'm with you.
To build graphs and charts about.
I'm with you.
I really hope that on season two of Game Shop we have enough time to really build a complex, just huge, depthful backstory.
Sure.
I mean, Tolkienian, I think, is what we want.
A new language.
Just everything.
Lineages.
We'll have people from the guild come over, buy things at the store.
I would love that.
Oh, yeah.
We'll do some crossovers.
I think there's some hints that our show is in the same world as the guild.
I think that's true.
Sure.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, we didn't write it in there.
Tabletop gamers next door?
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
Yeah, that could be.
That could be.
Yeah.
Maybe we'll work it in there. All right. Those guys were sure sure yeah that could yeah maybe we'll
work it in there
those guys were
really funny
I'm excited for
the episode
oh yeah some
there are rivals
at the game shop
are the guys who
work in the strip
mall at the
tabletop gaming
store
yes
and some great
guys came in to
do some guest
work on that
I think you should
watch the show
Andy you're on
the you're on the Twitter,
at Secunda?
That's right.
At.
I'm saying at.
Fuck it.
If you're going for it, sure.
HTTP.
Because otherwise it doesn't sound
like it's anything.
Twitter.com slash.
At Secunda says,
I've accomplished something.
Yeah.
True.
Well, yeah, guys,
thanks so much for being here.
Jesse will be back next week.
Thank God.
Boo.
I know.
Or maybe he won't. Maybe the fans will just demand that this is the show now.
Is it? A permanent fixture on Judge
John... Jordan Jesse Go.
No, the other one. Oh, yeah. Judge John Hodgman.
Judge John Hodgman. Yeah.
I had to settle a continuity debate about
Judge John Hodgman and Jordan Jesse Go, too.
Those are parallel universes. Are they?
Yeah.
So he is the same character or he is not the same character? No, Jesse is a different character in Judge John Hodgman than he is on Jordan Jesse Go.
So just to clear that up.
Gotcha.
So he could be killed on that one and still be on this one?
Yes.
Yes, he could.
Gotcha.
Yes.
Great.
So we've cleared that up.
I've said it.
It's canon.
It's basically like George Lucas is saying.
The novels count.
Right.
I'm lost right now.
I have no idea what's going on.
Case closed.
Are we still in this room?
We are.
We'll see you next week on Jordan, Jesse, go.
Take care.
