Give a little time for the child within you, don't be afraid to be young and free.
Undo the locks and throw away the keys and take off your shoes and socks and run you.
It's Jordan, Jesse Goh, I'm Jesse Thorne, America's Radio Sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
How are you, friend?
Doing good.
I'm doing good too. It's nice to be back in the room with you.
Sure.
Back on the horse again.
I will admit, people who listened to last week's episode yeah
where i was in the host chair and last week uh was what you usually refer to as a non-canonical
episode yeah and that you're drunk yeah exactly yeah i go to a strange new world
where spider-man is a Latino teenager. Yeah.
I realized... Well, technically, we're in a strange new world
where Sonny D is a Latino teenager.
Oh, yeah, I guess so.
Wait a minute.
Now, Chris, you're like 22.
Sorry.
Sorry, Christian's like 20.
He has a teenish enthusiasm, though.
He does have a teenish enthusiasm and foolishness.
Sure.
Yeah, I mean, he's very foolish.
Extremely hot-headed.
Hey, Christian, it's okay.
We know you're a big boy.
I remember something that we did a couple of times in college that we thought was funny,
but the people we were doing it to did not, which is, I think, most of the things we did in college.
I mean, we hosted a radio show together for four years.
Sure.
Was when we would see someone with a child, call the child a baby, even though it's like four.
And they hate it.
They hate it so much.
A four-year-old hates being called a baby.
And their parents don't like it.
No, it's still funny to me, though.
But we would do it and laugh.
I'm laughing right now because i'm
remembering how funny that was yeah so to all the to all the i just listen so what a beautiful baby
not only to christian yeah who we downgraded to teen yeah but to all the to all the four-year-olds
who we called babies in college we're sorry We know you were big boys and girls.
But I will continue.
I mean, I am deeply committed right now.
Anyone under – I'm 35 now.
Sure.
I'm going to say anyone under 31 is a teen.
Okay.
Depending on, like, what type of hat they're wearing.
Sure. Pretty much. General vibe. Yeah, of hat they're wearing. Sure.
Pretty much.
General vibe.
Yeah, like if they're holding a skateboard.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, someone holding a skateboard is a teen.
Yeah.
It could just be, like, a 40-year-old burnout.
Well, let's be clear.
That's the only people that hold skateboards anymore.
Sure.
There's no teens skateboarding in America in 2016.
They're hoverboarding.
Yeah, or whatever.
They're hoverboarding. Yeah, or whatever. Yeah, I mean, it's hard to catch Pokemon when you're trying to also do a backside shove it.
Yeah, backside shove it.
That was better than vert ramp.
Both bad.
Yeah.
So, yeah, let's say this.
Olly olly, Barry.
Let's say 0 to 12.
Sorry, that's a kind of jam.
Let's say 0 to 12.
Yeah. Baby. Right. zero to twelve. Yeah.
Baby.
Right.
Twelve to thirty-one teen.
Yeah.
Thirty-one and up to death.
Grandpa.
Well, I was going to say big boy.
And I think that's the thing like Summer Boar
where it doesn't need to be gendered.
Yeah.
We can all be big boys.
Yeah.
Even girls or people who identify
as some other kind of gender.
You know what?
I think that in some ways the story of our generation, Jordan, is the story of the struggle to become a big boy.
Yeah.
In a difficult economic and social climate.
Well, and to go in the big boy potty.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
And, you know, I think that all of us look up to the greatest big boy of them all, President Barack Obama.
Sure.
Yeah.
I mean, I know we don't want to get too partisan on the show.
Certainly not. No, I mean, this is a deeply nonpartisan program.
Sure.
It's informational.
We have always been, well, we've always supported the natural law party because we wouldn't want to defy Mother program. Sure. It's informational. We have always been, well,
we've always supported the Natural Law Party because we wouldn't want to
defy Mother Nature. Sure.
But besides that...
I mean, as your radio
home in LA KPCC says,
no rant, no slant.
Exactly. And
no grant. Ulysses S. Grant.
So that's the one other thing that we're...
We will not be mentioned even in stories about the Civil War.
Exactly.
Well, I'll just say that guy.
Yeah.
That old codger.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I think we all, you know, if not watch the whole thing, at least watch clips of the DNC this week. And yeah, I was just really inspired by that big boy.
And, yeah, I was just really inspired by that big boy.
I mean, this is, I mean, and I felt great that, you know, I got to have, you know, this big boy in my country for eight years.
And his amazing big boy wife.
And, I mean, the first ever African-American man occupying the presidency, living in the White House, eating grown up food with a fork and knife.
Sure.
It is so beautiful to me. You know what I mean? Like it's such a beautiful picture.
Yeah. And it's really, really amazing that we might have our first female big boy.
That's true.
I mean, for years, children, young girls growing up had no female big boys in the White House to look up to.
Sure.
They had them in Congress and the Senate, certainly.
Of course, sure.
Dianne Feinstein.
Certain astronauts. Yeah. But, yeah, I course, sure. Dianne Feinstein. Certain astronauts.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I mean, it's a new world.
Sally Ride.
It's a new world.
Who might have been the teacher that blew up.
No, I think Sally Ride was fine.
That's the astronaut?
I think she's the first woman in space.
Okay.
Yeah.
What was the teacher that blew up?
Joe Challenger.
We, of course, respect this and all of our nation's tragedies.
Absolutely, yeah.
A single tear rolls down our face.
We apologize.
Yeah.
To the Challenger.
And its friends.
Sure.
Everyone.
All big or small, whatever the size may be.
So, what are we talking about?
Big boys?
Big boys?
Teens?
Teens?
Tweens?
All those.
What about tweens?
Who's a tween?
I mean, I think a tween is a toad.
Okay.
I don't think a tween is necessarily an age.
I think a tween is a toad.
Okay.
I think someone could behave like a tween.
I mean, I think it would be different if we were in marketing, which we're not.
Right.
We're in journalism.
Right. But- That's why we're so non-partisan exactly no rant no slant yeah um
no no no you let's see this great yeah i think of a tween as kind of a connected young person
right you know getting out there hot takes you know what how i imagine a teen or i mean excuse
me forgive me you know how i imagine a tween it me. Forgive me. You know how I imagine a tween?
It's a boy and his twin brother.
They live in a hotel.
Okay.
Yeah.
And they're sort of running everything.
They're super rich and they're running everything from this hotel. They're having like, I guess I would describe it as a sweet life.
Yeah.
You're totally getting at something that I don't know what you're talking about.
Should we introduce our guest?
Because she clearly knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Yes, please.
Help me out.
I would love nothing more than to participate in the bit.
She's a comic.
She's one of the hosts of Maximum Fun's brand new podcast, Tights and Fights, Danielle Radford.
Hi. Hey, how's it going Fights. Danielle Radford. Hi.
Hey, how's it going?
Hi.
Danielle, would you like to care to explain to Jordan what bit was Jesse doing?
So The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Okay.
It's a television show.
It's about these kids who, as he said, they live in a hotel.
And somehow all these crazy hijinks happen in the hotel.
Wow.
But then later, later, they're on a boat?
What?
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
What?
Yeah.
They still have a pretty sweet life on the boat, though.
Do they change the spelling of sweet depending on where they are?
No, they should.
I would have called it the tight life of Zack and Cody.
For the first half of the show, it was spelled S-U-I-T-E.
Sure.
So sweet.
Then later on in the run of the show, it was spelled B-O-A-T.
So the sweet spelled B-O-A-T.
Spelled B-O-A-T.
Gotcha.
Right, because later they were on a boat.
Is there an umlaut over that?
No.
No, sir.
You know, it's funny. As you were saying that,
I think I recognize this show
from, I think,
a Dan Savage appearance
on This American Life.
Oh, I thought you were going to say
Suite Life of Zack and Cody
because I missed that one.
I was like, hey, Dan.
We're Dan Savage.
The boys figured something out
about themselves.
Yeah, they teach them
that men have sensitive prostates.
This is when they become
ggg right that's actually called the cast who becomes ggg yeah um and again that's just kind
of where i get my entertainment because i like i listen to a lot of public radio but i don't watch
a lot of tv yeah um jordan doesn't even have a tv yeah well he's sometimes on his laptop he likes
to watch documentaries on Netflix. Sure.
But, I mean, I prefer, like, real stories.
Yeah.
You know, just like, I mean, I don't need Hollywood blockbusters.
I've got real stories.
Can I throw something out to the two of you?
Please.
And I want you to tell me whether this makes a shit ton of sense to you, okay?
Probably.
Whether this really connects with you. But at the end of the day, you, me, Danielle, Christian, Ira Glass, we're all storytellers.
Yeah.
Yep.
Just storytellers. We're just trying to make sense.
It's like we're cavemen.
Sure.
Around a campfire.
It's a primal instinct.
And we're wearing those, like it's like a bearskin midriff.
You know what I'm talking about?
Like a single strap bearskin.
It's a singlet.
We're wearing a bearskin singlet.
Like a bearskin singlet.
And we're holding those.
It's like a fat baseball bat.
To club?
You got it.
That's the one.
And we're chasing those, you know, it's like a walrus, but it's crossed with a tiger.
Sure.
A dinosaur.
Yeah.
And anyway, the point is we're storytellers.
Beginning, middle, end.
Okay.
Set up.
Rising action.
Climax.
Sure.
Deux Morts.
Okay.
Boy goes on a journey.
Finds out who his dad is.
Exactly.
Post credits tease for the next story. Yeah. A boy goes on a journey. Finds out who his dad is. Exactly. Post-credits tease for the next story.
Yeah.
You can never go home again.
Sure.
You guys.
I can never go home again.
I only do cave drawings of two boys who live in a hotel.
Right?
Yeah.
And the adventures that go on.
I mean, really, the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, I think, is just based on one of our
oldest archetypes.
Yeah.
That's really true.
Man versus nature, man versus self, twins versus hotel.
Of course.
Just like the Legend of the Monkey King.
They have those cudgels that grow or shrink.
It lets them dance among the clouds with their pig friend.
This is also in the Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Yes, yes.
It's a very special episode.
That sounds special.
You know what?
The more I think about it, this is actually a Mary-Kate and Ashley thing.
Oh.
This is from Mary-Kate and Ashley on New York Minute.
Mm-hmm.
Co-starring Andy Richter.
Man, one time I got to talk to Andy Richter about what it was like to be in a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie.
Yeah.
He said it was really fun.
Yeah, because Andy Richter had that fun part of his career
where he was not on Conan anymore,
but was out being just like a working character actor
and did all sorts of, like he did those cool sitcoms that he was in.
Yeah, his sitcoms, he did two different very funny sitcoms.
Super funny, super, super fun. different very funny sitcoms. Super funny.
Super, super fun.
Andy Richter is great.
I think one of them was called The Tight Life of Andy Richter, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
I think that's right.
It was about his pussy.
It's true.
That's true.
So many tight lives out there.
But yeah, yeah.
Then he was just the dad in a lot of stuff.
Yeah, totally.
That's fun.
Well, who else would you get? No. Andy Richter is a delight. That's the best one. That's the best one of stuff. Yeah, totally. That's fun. Who else would you get?
That's the best one.
That's the best one to get.
Oh, by the way, I'm starting that part
of my career now, so this will be the last podcast.
Oh, really? Yeah, I'm
heading out to be a beloved sitcom dad.
Well, at least I'm getting that Tonight Show money.
That's going to last forever.
Boy, howdy. Wait, that's when he
came back. Sorry. I messed up the timeline there. That's okay to last forever. Boy, howdy. Wait, that's when he came back. Sorry.
I messed up the timeline there.
That's okay.
When I was making that analogy.
I think Conan forgives you.
Thank you, Conan.
Yeah, Conan forgives you.
Thank you, Conan.
Do you have an earpiece that you're talking to Conan O'Brien?
You know, we just speak through our hearts.
Oh.
Yeah.
Like Care Bears.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have the same connection with Spike Ferriston.
From talk show with Spike Ferriston.
Yeah.
Short-lived, but your bond is strong.
Yeah, our bond is strong.
He wrote The Soup Nazi.
Yeah.
Spike Ferriston.
I have one with Magic Johnson from The Magic Johnson Show.
Oh, The Magic Johnson show.
Oh, the Magic Johnson show.
Yeah.
I've got one with Keenan Ivory Wayans from the Vibe show.
Oof.
I think.
I think that means that you're also connected to all Wayans because they are all connected.
Sure.
They're like the Borg.
Yeah.
We are Wayans.
Join us.
Resistance is futile.
Yeah, I think the Way-ins are just numbered.
Why are you tripping?
I am Kim Weigh-ins.
I'm probably doing fine.
I'm probably not sweating it. I just want to meet the one doing okay but doesn't need to be on TV weigh-ins.
Just the one normal weigh-ins.
Just the weigh-ins who's a phlebotomist?
Yeah, just the well-adjusted Wayans.
I would love to meet them.
He's like, yeah, I went to phlebotomy school and I work at Kaiser.
I work down at Kaiser.
Really touching some lives.
It's great.
Yeah, it's really good to help people do their blood tests.
And, you know, he sees the guys a couple times a year.
I mean, they're so busy with shooting and everything.
Yeah, but we have a lot of fun when we have a family barbecue.
We make time to hang out.
You know, a lot of people say I'm the funny one.
In a way, it kind of comes out when I'm doing my phlebotomy.
Sure.
Yeah.
Trade school.
What's the most recent Weyans thing?
Is there a current Weyans project either on TV or coming to theaters?
The only project I know of is Damon Wayans Jr.
and he's doing great. Oh, Damon Wayans Jr.
is in all the things.
I consider him to be a Wayans
project for sure.
Didn't the middle Wayans
didn't they just
have a parody movie come out recently?
Yeah, I think Marlon Wayans
still heads up the
yearly or bi-yearly scary movie or maybe they're not even parody movie come out recently? I think, yeah, I think Marlon Wayans still heads up the yearly
or bi-yearly scary movie,
or maybe they're not even
called scary movie anymore.
I think it was something
besides scary movies.
Oh, you know, I remember it.
I did not see it,
but I remember it was called
A Haunted House,
and I think that was pretty funny.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty good.
That's like their contract
with America,
is just we have to put out.
That's how we let them have so many Wayans.
Do you think they got the idea to have a contract?
They have to keep up their copyright or else they lose the Wayans name.
Oh, right.
That's why there were all those bad Spider-Man movies.
It's like, oh, shit.
Then the Wayans go into the public domain and anybody can make a Wayans movie.
Next year, I'm hoping.
I'm hoping to get to be a Wayans.
Yeah.
Sounds pretty dope. I want to be a Wayans. Yeah. Sounds pretty dope.
I want to be a new girl.
That would be fun.
Can I ask you a question, Danielle?
Mm-hmm.
Do you think that they got the idea to have a contract with America from Newt Gingrich
in the 1994 Republican Revolution?
I think he still manages them, if I'm not mistaken.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He's going to do something.
So let's talk a little bit about some of Newt Gingrich's side projects.
Sure.
The Wayans Brothers. The Wayans Brothers.
The Wayans Brothers.
Managing the Wayans Brothers.
Writing reviews of historical fiction on Amazon.
At one point, he was a top 100 Amazon reviewer.
You know that, right?
No.
Yes.
That's great.
This was a while.
This was before he ran for president four years ago.
So this was probably five or six years ago.
So he had some time on his hands and he said he and he said in his reviewer bio that he chose not to review
things that he didn't like so he became a top 100 amazon reviewer exclusively reviewing things that
he did like i guess he figures like he talks enough about stuff he hates in his regular life
sure he's gonna keep that Amazon profile posi. Yeah.
We have Moonbase Advocate.
Mm-hmm.
He's been a big zoo enthusiast.
Oh.
Oh, like Kevin Owens.
Is Kevin Owens a zoo enthusiast?
He is a zoo enthusiast.
He is a well-known wrestler slash zoo enthusiast.
I would like to be a zoo advocate.
Mm-hmm.
Like Jungle Jack Hanna.
Mm-hmm. You know like Jungle Jack Hanna.
You know, Jungle Jack Hanna, though, of course, the legendary guy who wore safari clothes onto Letterman and had animals climb on him in Letterman.
Jungle Jack Hanna, no science background, did not work for the zoos. Just tricked someone into letting him be on TV at some point and then called someone and said, can you bring some animals?
You know, and I think that is I mean, I was a PA on Ellen for a while, and I think that's how those zoo man segments work.
And then various zoos or shelters or, you know, rare animal preserves will shuttle in some of their faves.
Yeah, man.
Let's get that antelope famous or whatever. Yeah.
We've got this hot new antelope.
All the kids are going to want to come see him if we can just get him some TV time.
His mixtape is about to drop.
It's a fire mixtape.
Yeah.
He's about to drop the hottest mixtape's about to drop. It's a fire. It's a fire mixtape. Yeah, right. Yeah, he's about to drop the hottest mixtape.
And so, yeah, so just the jungle man will come and then the real zoo people will parade these animals before him.
These dangerous animals.
Prostitutes.
Like prostitutes at a brothel.
I watched this happen a couple of times.
And the zoo man will just pick the ones that he likes and that he, you know, feels will be interesting.
And then he goes on the show and then goofs around with the animals.
And at some point he memorizes a few facts about the animals.
Sometimes the facts are fake.
I just imagine it's like that scene in Showgirls where he's going around and he's like, your tits are too big.
What's wrong with your nose?
Pin your ears back.
Like, it's that kind of thing.
Yeah.
Horn's too long.
Why is that dog's tail not wagging?
Let's put some ice on it.
Get it erect.
When was the last time you molted?
Put some ice on that dog's tail and get it erect.
I have a lot of showgirls knowledge.
Yeah.
And apparently a lot of dog tail knowledge.
I just, you know, girls got to have some hobbies.
I just give it one of those purple pills.
You know what I'm talking about?
I don't.
What?
I just decided to make that noise.
Oh, okay.
They're blue?
Purple diamonds, right?
No, I think Viagras are blue.
Viagras are blue?
God damn it.
It's purple Prozac.
It's purple balloons.
You're thinking of Lucky Charms.
Oh, thank you. Purple horseshoes.
Purple horseshoes.
Oh, man.
Those mushrooms.
God, sorry.
I was about to say those marshmallows make me hard.
Would have been funny if I wouldn't have said mushroom.
Can we agree on one thing, though?
Yeah.
Doesn't matter what show it is, that's the best segment on the show.
Absolutely.
Those are great segments.
Those are so fucking fun.
They're awesome. I love watching, I would watch, whether it's a comedy genius like David Letterman or-
A local news boob.
A genial, handsome guy like Jimmy Fallon.
Sure.
Or a thing that's in between those two things.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, oh God, I was going to observe something about those.
Okay, let's see.
I saw all the guys.
Oh, so here's the thing that I could never figure out.
Yes.
The people who bring the animals.
Yes.
For the zoo man to choose.
Yes.
A la showgirls.
Right.
What do they get out of the deal?
What do they get out of the deal?
Why do they shuttle this, you know, echidna or whatever from its preserve to the Ellen studio? Well, I'm going to draw a parallel because we both have a background in show business.
You worked on the Ellen show for some years.
And, of course, have been on air television for six months.
Yeah, yeah. That short of a time it was yeah god when you're longer younger time when your young time goes
slowly sure yeah um it seemed like a lot of time it's very bad job in six months i'll be dead um
i uh okay so what i was going to say is you've worked in show business you've been on camera
you were on camera personality on cable television,
and so on and so forth. You're a television writer right now. Of course, you've appeared on and won the internet on televisions at midnight.
Sure.
I have a similar background in that I've met Peter Sagal. And at every public radio program
director's conference, there's a public radio show.
And again, I'm not here to drop names.
Okay.
Certainly.
You worked for Ellen DeGeneres.
Well, I've met the host of Bird Note.
Okay.
Bird Note is like a, it's like one of those 60-second public radio shows.
They don't really run very much here in a big city like Los Angeles.
But in a lot of smaller places, in place of local news, they'll drop in a little segment.
There's another one about-
Just like a writer's almanac type thing.
Exactly, like the writer's almanac.
Or there's one about what's going on in space this week.
Okay.
Not like Lizardman.
Yeah.
Like the constellation of Ryan.
The Galactus approaches.
He sent out his herald, the Silver Surfer.
The Silver Surfer second.
That's what it is.
How close is the Silver Surfer to Earth?
It's only one.
Heralding the arrival of Galactus.
I would want to know that from public radio.
How close the Silver Surfer is.
It's only one second long, though, so it's either chill or-
Fuck!
Well, we tag him every time, because Galactus, I feel like that dude's here like every 10, 15 years.
Yeah, yeah.
So we tagged the Silver Surfer so we know when he's coming around.
Wait a minute.
We tagged him like a whale that we're trying to keep track of?
Like on his dorsal fin? Silver Sounds is what we call him. We track him by Silver whale that we're trying to keep track of, like on his dorsal fin?
Silver sounds is what we call him.
We track him by silver sounds.
Sure.
Okay.
He emits a frequency.
You, of course, you and I both work in show business.
Sure.
The folks from Bird Note, so at the public radio conference, which is for program directors
to decide what shows to carry, they have a Bird Note booth.
carry they have a bird note booth and every year at the booth there is some kind of live raptor okay so like a bird of prey a bird of prey so they will get in touch with local owls
they want to meet you. Local owls. Hot local owls are waiting
for your call.
Waiting to show you their hooters.
Vomit up
a mouse skeleton on your face.
So,
there's live
birds of prey there. So, I would
counter your question, why
did they bring them to be on television
with a second question, perhaps more pressing, why did they bring them to be on television with a second question perhaps
more pressing why do they bring these animals to go to a public radio conference yeah like i think
at some point they're just happy to have someone listen to them yeah i guess if you spend your
whole life caring for injured you know ibexes. Right.
You know and maybe it's
even part of it. I mean I feel like I'm figuring this out in my
head as we're talking. Thank you
guys by the way for helping me. Sure.
I think the people who work with these animals probably
you know are conservationists.
Yeah I think that's fair. And care
about the animals and want to get you know
people and kids interested in the animals
so you know they help you, save their habitats or whatever.
Right, right.
So, yeah, maybe this is part of their outreach is showing, you know, TV audiences how majestic
these condors or ibexes can be.
Right, because kids are real stupid.
So like, oh, yeah, they probably like, hey, and then, you know, you'll talk to a kid and
they'll be like, well, what does what do you do and it's like oh they don't talk
yeah it's like not disney like you're not gonna and they're like what are they gonna start dancing
it's like no no we don't they don't it may poop yeah they just kind of i feel like your face
yeah that's a trick yeah i feel like if i had spent my whole life taking care of ibexes i would feel like i had spent my whole life
explaining the difference between an ibex and a gazelle sure and a dick dick for that matter
yeah you don't get me started on dick dicks yeah i won't um you know and i i based on my experience
thanks for your consideration in that matter by the way based on my experience – Thanks for your consideration in that matter, by the way. Based on my experiences, the TV talk show Jungle Man is a fraud.
Uh-huh.
But I choose to believe that's not true about the San Diego Zoo's Joan Embry.
Really?
Yeah.
I think she does work at the zoo.
I think she really does work at the San Diego Zoo, and I believe that she's the exception to this rule.
Because I have only done one thing that is like this.
I've never done anything with live animals.
I did do something at one point, at two points, with the director of the Mütter Museum.
Are you familiar with the Mütter Museum?
Yes.
So it's this museum of medical oddities, Danielle, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
That sounds so upsetting.
It's amazing.
It's totally amazing.
It's like a 19th century medical museum that has continued to this day.
So they have like those pull crank like vibrators and like –
Yeah, but it's not like –
Just tell us about the vibrators.
Well, just I'm thinking of other things to cure like old-timey diseases like a surgery.
More like enormous colons. no yeah so it's creepy and gross but real right like it
is an actual educational institution a non-profit uh part of the physician's library if i remember
correctly of philadelphia really great place, the director of the Mutter Museum,
his predecessor made the museum famous by going on Letterman. And he also does media appearances
and has come on our show. And he is really, as far as I can tell, the actual director of the museum
and is a charming and delightful man. And has seen the colons before he gets on air.
Fully familiar with the colons.
In this case, he has seen the jar of flaked off skin.
Okay.
Yeah.
A jar of flaked off skin?
Yeah.
That you keep in a jar?
Yeah.
I don't keep it in a jar, no.
Oh.
The museum does.
Yes.
For science reasons.
Yeah.
Here's what a jar of flaked off skin If you count how much flaked off skin
is there in it, you win the jar.
It's like the jelly beans
at a neighborhood carnival.
This is at a Boy Scout
event.
Yeah.
Speaking of giant colons,
can we circle back to showgirls?
Yeah, I'd love to circle back to showgirls.
I want to hear about showgirls fandom as it exists in 2016.
Is it still alive?
Do you go to Showgirls events?
And have you played the Showgirls party game that a woman I dated once had?
Is that the one that comes in the VIP edition?
I think it is in the VIP edition, yes.
Yeah, so there is still – I don't know so much about nationwide i know i'm from seattle so back home
i've actually i i have become uh friends with a guy back home named david schmader who david
schmader is yeah he's a uh he's a writer he's like he i don't think he's doing it anymore but
he um was the editor of like the stranger and stuff up there. Oh, cool. And he used to do these live viewings of showgirls where he would do commentary over it.
Okay.
And it's hilarious and funny and he's super charming.
Was it like a tour guide?
Was it fun facts?
It was everything.
It was fun facts.
Then he would make fun of stuff and then he would talk about his theories about different parts of it.
And then he would talk about like his theories about different parts of it.
It was very like meticulous.
And it was so well done that when they did the VIP edition, which is a box set that they did for the anniversary.
But I got as a birthday present from an ex-boyfriend.
They put that on there. Not bragging.
Not bragging.
That's just her life.
You break a lot of hearts.
We get it.
I know.
That's, you know, there's only so many showgirls shot glasses you can get
from one dude before you're like who's got something else for this yeah so yeah you uh
gonna dump a new guy who buys me birdemic merchandise i danced with that dude once
the birdemic dude the the lead man or the man who made it the man who made it
oh boy i have a lot of shit i want to ask you about. Okay, finish the showgirls thing
and then finish
and then we'll circle back
to dancing with the crazy guy
who directed Birdemic.
I like bad movies
so I put myself
in these positions.
Sure.
And so like he,
so I got that
and he is doing
the commentary on it
like Warner Brothers
came to him
and was like,
do the commentary.
You are the world's
foremost showgirls expert.
He is,
yes.
He is.
Is this a heterosexual gentleman?
No.
No.
No, no, no.
But yeah, and so we became friends because I went to Vegas and the first thing I told
my ex-boyfriend, different ex-boyfriend, hey-o, was that we gotta go.
This is a trail of carnage you've left.
Love him and leave him.
I'm just breaking hearts.
Collect the promotional merchandise
breaking hearts all over the west coast fellas so i took i was like i want to go to a strip club and
he was like hell yeah and i was like i want to go to the strip club from showgirls and he was like
why and i was like cuz so we went um it's like it's your dollywood it's my dollywood i had to go
um and it's amazing it's the same. They haven't changed much of it.
Did your boyfriend appreciate the strip club campily?
No.
He appreciated it tittiesily.
And I got a card because in the movie it's called the cheetah.
And in real life it's called cheetahs.
Either that or it's the other way around.
That's why change it, I wonder. I thought if it's the same place i don't i don't know but
i know that a woman who um looked and acted a lot like my mom did offer us a three-way
hey that's fun after she uh invited my boyfriend very sweetly to touch her pussy
okay it was very nice she's very nice sort of like a would you like to touch my pussy dear
um kind of she it was definitely maternal it was definitely you can touch the cat and i It was very nice. She was a very nice lady. Sort of like a, would you like to touch my pussy, dear?
Kind of. It was definitely maternal.
It was definitely like, you can touch the cat.
And I was like, okay, there's no cat here.
Sure.
Oh, it was a metaphor.
Yeah, her business. The business.
She's very nice.
Yeah.
Was the three-way, was that – was she trying to sell you something or was that just an offer because she had such a nice time?
No, no, no.
She wanted to sell us the three-way.
Oh, okay.
It wasn't – she's very nice about it.
She wasn't like pushy.
It's just she's at work.
What are you going to – like if I'm – back when I had a job, like I would answer phones and stuff and and part of her job was asking if I wanted three-way.
I can't falter for that.
Can you sell three-ways in Las Vegas?
I thought you have to be in other counties.
You have to be in other counties.
But she thought we were cool, and so I took that as a compliment.
She knows I'm chill.
She knows I'm not going to shame her for sex work.
She knew you were 420 friendly.
And GGG.
And GGG.
And I probably look a lot like her kid. She talks a little bit about her She knew you were 420 friendly. And GGG.
And I probably look a lot like her kid.
She talks a little bit about her kid.
Because I like to make friends when I'm there.
And always a hot run up to threesome is talking about
your kids. I like to know people.
To be fair
to her, if I'm
going to get involved in a paid three way
I want it to be with
someone that looks like my children.
Yeah, that's fair.
See?
One of the cardinal rules.
So, okay.
So, three-way and pussy touching aside.
Yes.
Was your trip to the strip club featured in Showgirls everything you hoped it would be?
It was everything I wanted it to be.
Because I was lucky enough to go to,
I think it's demolished now or it's turned into something else.
I got to go to the bowling alley from the Big Lebowski
before they closed it down.
And it is not, or it was not Lebowski'd out.
But there was a lot of little things.
There was a lot of like, you know,
somewhere there will be a photo of Jeff Bridges.
And there were just a lot of dudes there drinking white Russians.
Now it could have been because it is
deep in the valley
and that's just
what an old guy drinks.
But I,
yeah,
but I think it was
a lot of,
you know,
kind of subtle nods
to the Lebowski.
Did the strip club
from Showgirls
have any kind of,
you know,
Elizabeth Berkley
slept here
type plaques?
No,
I wish they did.
I wish,
because I would have
taken so many pictures
by that plaque
if there was.
It was just they kept the lighting the exact same.
And this was only like four years ago.
And I think Showgirls was like, how old?
Showgirls has got to be like 20 years old at this point, something like that.
So it was four years ago.
They kept the lighting.
The stage looked exactly, exactly the same.
Was it lit in like a 1994-ish
manner?
Like a
Colorado Rockies
or Florida Marlins logo?
Just like everything is
purple and teal?
Yeah, everything was
purple and teal.
I'm not even kidding.
Everything was purple and teal.
It was beautiful.
And all the women
had underwear that made it
look like they had
long butts.
Oh.
Those long butts.
Yeah, long butt clothing.
I would go to the
Long Butt Strip Club.
Yeah.
I would go to that.
Oh, long butts. It's actually, it's called Oh, Long Butts. Yeah, yeah butt clothing. I would go to the long butt strip club. Yeah. I would go to that. Oh, long butts.
It's called Oh, Long Butts.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a pirate thing.
It's also in the valley.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's got to be in the valley.
So now tell us about dancing with the possibly insane man who directed Birdemic.
I was at Bridgetown a few years back.
Bridgetown Comedy Festival.
Bridgetown Comedy Festival.
Portland, Oregon.
Or Oregon, as the locals prefer to pronounce it.
Yeah, it's Oregon.
They'll shoot you.
They have bumper stickers that says that.
They get real cranks.
Yeah, and it was the after party, and so we just this little dude like i was dancing like grabbed my
hand and was like wanted to dance with me and so i was dancing and then like about because i was
wasted and everyone was having a good time and people were buying pot cookies and it was great
and then and you like to cut a rug i do i'm a rug cutter i do like to uh it's a little harder now
because uh i got hit by a bus so everything's all messed up in my body.
But back then, I was very light.
I was very light on my feet.
So we were dancing, and I realized like halfway through, it was the Birdemic guy.
Because like someone next to me goes, holy shit, you're dancing with the Birdemic guy.
And then you knew.
And then I was like, oh, I'm dancing with the Birdemic guy.
And so I think I had, someone took pictures somewhere, but it's got to be like eight iPhones ago.
So I'm not sure.
Were they showing Birdemic there?
Is he just an alt-comedy fan?
Birdemic 2, I think.
Okay, sure.
Birdemic 2 might have been screening.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Seems like you've led a rich life.
Yeah, I do a bunch of shit for free or that I pay money for.
Okay.
And I get to tell stories about –
Daniel, would you say that like Biggie Smalls, you're ready to die?
Yeah, real ready.
I'm ready to go.
I think I'm the only person who had like kind of a near-death experience and came out of
it with no epiphanies.
I learned nothing.
I'm just going to be careful around buses.
There's that one.
Yeah, I live that every day.
That's a nice fear that I have, walking down the street at all times.
You and my dog Coco.
My dog Coco's terrified of buses.
Oh.
Yeah, she's terrified of them.
Yeah, she's right.
Yeah.
She's trying to help you.
She thinks they-
They will hit you in your body.
She thinks, you know that sound they make when they lower?
Yeah.
That's what she's-
That kind of po of sound she she's
horrified about it horrified maybe that's like what some ancient predator used to do before i
think that is probably before it would hit you oh it's just an instinctual dog eating right when a
mammoth would hit you in the crosswalk you know those mammoths and all those cave dudes in the
middle of cross it all goes back to early man.
Storytelling.
Right.
That's what we're doing.
That's what we're doing.
The prestige.
Exactly.
And you're welcome, folks.

Jesse, Jordan, what are you, a couple of coastal elitists?
Mm-hmm.
And yes, granted, we are coastal elitists.
Absolutely.
I mean, I own a Volvo station wagon.
However, let it not be said that we are not planning a secret project for the greatest
city of the Middle West, February 2017.
Mark your calendars.

Circle it, Chicago.
Oops.

Yeah.
And then at some point in February.
2017.
One of the middle places.
Yeah.
And I say if you're in the Middle West, circle February 2017.
And then underneath where it says, under no circumstances should I leave the house during this month slash frozen wasteland.
Yeah.
Underneath, right, except for this one time.
Cool.
There you go.
A lot of fun stuff to do.
Unless you live in one of those cities that has secret tubes.
Are there tube cities?
Yeah, Minneapolis, Minnesota's got secret tubes.
Didn't know it.
Yeah, they got tubes.
You can go between buildings without going outdoors because it's such a frozen nightmare.
Huh.
That sounds fun.
I'd like to be in a tube.
I went through those tubes.
It was a ton of fun.
I bet it's fun.
It was a shit ton of fun.
I bet.
Minneapolis, Minnesota is a nice town.
I can't remember the last time I was in a tube.
I know.
You got to go to Minneapolis.
I guess so.
You got to go get them tubes.
Is that why Prince was so cool?
Yeah, he got them tubes. He got them to go get them tubes. Is that why Prince was so cool? Yeah, he got them tubes.
He got them tubes.
Got them tubes.
Maybe if I make like a space voyage.
Because that's like a popular place to go to go into like a cryo sleep.
Yeah.
So it's either a trip to Minneapolis or some sort of prolonged cryo sleep.
Yeah, or a spray tan.
Yeah, spray tan.
That'd be fun.
Yeah.
So there's three of your
top tubes. Okay. I bet I can make
one of those happen. And I would say number four is probably fallopian.
Sure. So number
one would be Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Number two,
that would be...
Space journey that involves a cryo sleep.
Yeah. Number three,
that's spray tan.
Number four is going to be fallopian.
Yeah.
Who books that?
Who books fallopian tubes?

Hey, cool.
Yeah, it wasn't $400 great.
It's a real good record, but I'm trying to get that $400, my friend.

Does it come in a deep V, or did he deep its own V?
No, it comes in a tank.
But the tank has a built-in
deep plunging neckline.
Ooh.
All tanks have plunging necklines
relative to a crew.
True story.
True story.
Thank you.
Well, we're all just
storytellers here.
Exactly.
It's true.
What was I saying?
We're going to listen to calls.
Oh, no.
What I was going to say is

Duke Goobler t-shirts.

A lot of fun.
MaxFunStore.com.
Get up in there.
Get your goobs.
Get them goobs.
Get the goobs.
It doesn't matter.
You don't have to be counting turtles.
Nah, you can do whatever.
If you're looking out for invasive species, that's good.
Mm-hmm.
But you know what?
It's fine no matter what you're doing.
You could be doing your phlebotomy thing.
Nursing Ibex back to health.
You got it.
Put it on TV so people can see how majestic it is.
You could be enlarging a colon.
Sure.
Okay, let's hear our first call.
Hey, Jordan, Jesse, and guests.
This is Allison calling from Boston with Momentous Occasion.
A couple months ago on the show, one of you guys, I think it was Jesse,
sort of offhand casually mentioned a Reddit, a subreddit,
where people post audio porn, essentially,
which intrigued me, and I checked it out.
And long story short, one of the guys that I was listening to on audio porn just left my apartment.
So that was weird and a momentous occasion for me because it was the first time I ever had a hookup like that.
So thanks, I guess, for getting me laid.
Bye, guys.
I would like to say this.
First of all, you're welcome.
I'm glad to help.
I'm glad she clarified because I just thought maybe he was delivering push-mates. Get it, girl.
because I just thought maybe he was delivering push-mates.
Get it, girl.
I would like to say that while it's interesting that she pointed out that this was the first time that she had ever had a hookup like that,
I think it would have been pretty remarkable
if she had had other audio pornography-based hookups
that weren't built around the Reddit for audio porn.
For homemade audio porn.
Boy, yeah, sex from Reddit.
Not something that you would think would happen a lot.
No.
But I guess there's precedent now.
She's so brave for taking home a dude from Reddit.
I think that's great.
Sure.
Good for her.
I'm glad that she, I hope it sounded as good in person.
Oh, yeah.
Because, you know, sometimes live it can be really, like, underwhelming, especially if you're used to listening to the recording all the time.
Sure.
I mean, that's me when I went to see Vampire Weekend.
You know, so she's been listening at home.
I can hardly jack off to it.
On the treadmill, listening to him go.
And it's like, is he going to be as good live?
And so it sounds like she feels like he was at least as good live.
So that's good.
You know, always a risk when you see one of your favorite artists live.
Yeah.
I wonder if she taught him that the wage gap is real.
That would be a concern if I was bringing home a guy from Reddit.
Always a concern.
Big concern.
Yeah, that's interesting.
So audio, I guess I don't remember this discussion about audio porn.
So a famous subreddit, which is the board groups of Reddit, is called Gone Wild.
It's where people post naked pictures of themselves.
Sure.
I'm familiar with Gone Wild Curvy.
I don't know if there's another one.
It sounds like there's maybe a more general one. There are a variety of sub-Gone Wilds, such as Gone Wild, or I should say sub-Gone Wild
Curvy, such as Gone Wild.
And then there's one called Gone Wild Audio.
And so on Gone Wild Audio, people post, well, there's two, there's a few categories.
Okay.
I really, I think this is an amazing thing that exists in the world.
It's not that great for jacking off, but I appreciate the craft.
Like, I think it's an amazing thing that people are doing this just of their own accord.
Sure.
So there's a couple of groups.
One is these scenarios.
So, like, someone will say, like, I want to hear one that's about a nurse that, you know, whatever.
And then someone will record it.
There's some where someone writes a script and then someone records it for them.
Oh.
Oh, wow.
There's some that are all original.
The top category by far, as far as I'm concerned, is guided jackal meditation.
Wow.
Which is where you get hypnotized into orgasm.
Is there some that are written by Aaron Sorkin?
It's hard, though, because he was walking while he was talking.
Yeah, the old walkin' cock.
Walkin' cock.
The old Sorkin walkin' cock.
It kind of sounds like ASMR
but without the fuckin' around.
Yeah, get right to the jerkin'.
Get to the point.
Stop pretending to brush my hair.
It's just like, you know,
you're like ascending
or descending the steps
of a pyramid in space.
But with each step, you become more and more aroused until.
And the goal is the goal is to make you have an orgasm without touching your junk.
Hmm.
Huh.
And then like people talk about whether they've done that or not.
They're like, oh, yeah, I did it with this one.
Well, that's that's really amazing.
I would want to hear about more subreddit-based hookups
if anybody has them.
I say let's make that a category coming up.
We got summer boy calls.
We got momentous occasions.
Should we call it Cucks and Such?
Yeah.
Cucks, et cetera.
So if you've got a Cucks and Such call,
first of all, say it three times fast. You have to. Cucks and Such, Cucks and Such a Cucks and such call First of all say it three times fast
You have to
Cucks and such
Cucks and such
Cucks and such
Say it three times fast
And then give us a call
And tell us if you've
Have you hooked up on
Tell us whether you wore
Red leather or yellow leather
Sure
And especially call us
If you're from unique New York
Got a toy boat
Give us a call
Yeah Have you hooked up on Got a toy boat? Give us a call.
Yeah.
Have you hooked up on Dragon's fucking Cars?
Have you heard?
Have you?
Coming on figurines.
Have you hooked up with anyone from coming on figurines?
That's a thing.
What?
Oh, hi.
Yeah, that's a thing.
Mini figs?
Yeah.
Or any figurine.
It's spelled the way you think.
Huh.
Which kind of figurines is it?
Is it those kind of like fun vinyl figurines like Pharrell would have?
Is it the kind?
Is it like a Lara Croft Tomb Raider?
A lot of them are like Japanese, but some of them are action figures.
There was a Dora on there. Oh, you say.
Oh, that's not appropriate.
Which made me very upset.
That's terrifying.
I'm hoping that one day it'll just be someone like doing their version of The Glass Menagerie.
It's very understated.
Sure, sure.
It's what's not said.
It's what's not splooged.
It's what they're not coming on.
These bobbleheads, they're not coming on these bobbleheads they're not coming on
um but yeah i came on that remains of the day lunchbox from waiting for
that's really funny oh you're welcome coming on figure sorry r slash coming on figurines
get at us this shit just blew the fuck up get Get at us. Our dozens of listeners just...
Yeah.
Descended on it like vultures on a jerk-off corpse.
Jerk-off vultures on a jerk-off corpse.
Not to get off Reddit, but you can also find that on most porn sites as dudes.
Oh, okay. Reddit, but you can also find that on most porn sites as dudes fucking coming in figurines.
Do you think that that
do you think that dude
from Reddit audio was
cute enough to fuck?
She didn't include that, so no.
Yeah. Like she didn't, she wasn't
like, yeah, he was fine.
Yeah, it was great, and I had a really good time
and so much, she was like, well,
I guess I did. I guess I did that. And I had a really good time. And so much as she was like, well, I guess I did.
Okay.
I guess I did that.
We're not shaming you for doing this, ma'am.
No, we think it's great.
More power to you.
Yeah, we think it's super cool.
I just don't think you enjoyed it.
Yeah.
Okay.
You did not sound enthusiastic.
Yeah.
Call us back when you do a weird sex thing that you're more excited about, ma'am.
Yeah.
We want to hear poppers in the background.
You know those party poppers?
Not amyl nitrate poppers.
No, please don't use those.
No.
It's dangerous.
Okay, let's take another call.
Hey, Jordan, Jesse, and guests.
This is Ben from Fargo, North Dakota, calling with a momentous occasion.
I am going to be moving into a college dorm next month with a roommate I've never met before.
Can you pause this for a second?
I hope that you're 18.
Because I do not like it when teens and tweens listen to our program.
It's not appropriate for you.
You're not going to understand the sexual discussions. You're not going to understand the sexual discussions.
You're not going to understand the subtext.
You're certainly not old enough to have seen Showgirls,
which is rated R.
You don't have the emotion.
Oh, yeah. Well, then I especially
hope you haven't seen it. Brains are still
maturing until you're in your
mid-twenties,
Jordan. And unless
he's that one weird old guy
who lives in the dorm. Sure.
Which is absolutely a thing.
True. I don't think
he's emotionally ready for Jordan Jesse
to go, this is a very... Maybe this is the first time
he's ever listened.
He listened on his drive up to college
with his parents, who I should
hope are 18. Do you think
he like
he heard about it on that MTV show
about tricking people into thinking that they're in love with you on Facebook?
Yeah.
He probably heard about it on Catfish.
And he looked it up.
Yeah.
He listened to it.
He said, this isn't for me, but I'm going to call in real quick.
Sure.
Go back to the beginning, Christian.
Go back to the beginning of this call.
So we can – I'm sorry to have cut you off, young man.
I hope you're not drinking before you're 21.
Hey, Jordan, Jesse, and guests.
This is Ben from Fargo, North Dakota, calling with a momentous occasion.
I am going to be moving into a college dorm next month
with a roommate I've never met before,
and I just got off the phone with him for the first time.
And after introducing ourselves,
the first thing he asked me was if I was a virgin.
Then later in the conversation,
he asked if I would be willing to go have these with him
on an electric trap set for our dorm
and he finished the conversation by telling me
that he had recently had his license revoked
due to a minor in possession
and so he was wondering if when he got off at the airport
if I could pick him up and drive him to Hooters
so I don't know if this is going to be the best roommate ever
or the worst roommate ever
but anyway, have a great day.
Bye.
An electric what set?
Yeah.
Trap set, which I think would be a drum set.
But in my imagination, I think it's a set for being in the trap.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With Nikki.
Yeah.
Bees in the trap with Nikki.
Okay.
I don't like that that roommate virgins chained you.
Yeah. I don't like that. roommate virgins shamed you. Yeah.
I don't like that.
Sure.
Well, maybe he was just looking for solidarity.
We didn't hear whether the roommate is also a virgin.
That's a fair point.
Just because you're a bad boy doesn't mean that you necessarily lost your intimate flower, and that's okay.
There are a lot of distressingly frank sexual conversations that happen in dorm room hallways.
sexual conversations that happen in dorm room hallways.
Absolutely.
Such as the guy
who I did not really know
who told me that he had lost
his virginity to a Tijuana prostitute
that his dad had hired.
Sure, that happens.
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
Maybe if they are virgies...
He was sad about it.
Yeah, well...
Yeah, I guess it would be a little weird
if you want to high-five over that.
Yeah.
Maybe they'll meet some nice gals at Hooters.
You know what?
That's possible.
That's a fun place to meet women.
Maybe they'll be offered a three-way.
Sure.
What county is this Hooters in?
Yeah.
Oh.
I mean, at the very least, their choice of ranch or blue cheese.
Yeah.
They can have both, but it's extra.
Well, now they're adults, so they get to choose if it's ranch or blue cheese.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I ask you guys a question?
Have you eaten at Hooters?
Yes.
Yes.
Well, when I worked for Fuel TV, I had a Hooters black card.
What?
I literally had that.
What is that?
It's 50% off everything.
Why?
How do you get that?
You fucking work for a dopey TV network that runs a lot of hooters commercials wow and does a
lot of integrated hooters uh we gotta get that branded content gotta get it gotta get that
sponsor i would like i would prefer rather than a 50 discount that it be an unlimited line of credit
your money is no good here. Yeah, yeah.
And, like, you're running, like, Janine Garofalo in, what's that movie called?
I mean, Winona Ryder in Reality Bites.
You remember when she has her dad's gas card and she's selling gas at the gas station?
Oh, yeah.
That's you, but you're up in the Hooters with your black card.
I'm selling wings.
Yeah.
Just giving guys. Yeah, yeah. station oh yeah that's you but you're up in the hooters i'm selling wings yeah just give them
giving guys yeah yeah uh yeah i mean you know i i think you could make the argument that uh
you know hooters uh hooters has some questionable sexual politics i would hear that argument from
someone they've got some tight entertainment though uh the one in las vegas used to have a
prince cover band oh boy called purple rain spelled R-E-I-G-N.
Oh, that's fun.
That's really fun.
It was really fun.
Purple B-O-A-T.
Purple B-O-A-T, the Suite Life.
Yeah.
A prince.
A prince and his twin brother lived on a-
Jordan, you're a well-known enthusiast of BW3.
Sure.
Buffalo, Wild Wings, and Weft.
How would you compare them wangs? Of BW3. Sure. Buffalo, Wild Wings, and Weft. Mm-hmm.
How would you compare them wangs at BW3 and at the Hootin' Toot?
The old Hootin' Toot.
Well, and I don't know how you feel about it.
That's what you call it when you use your Hooters black card to do a line of cocaine in the bathroom.
Yeah, yeah. The old Hootin' Toot. The old Hooters black card to do a line of cocaine in the bathroom. Yeah, yeah.
The old hootin' toot.
The old hootin' toot.
Brap, brap.
You get your cocaine, you can have a choice of ranch or blue cheese.
Yeah.
Are you a fan of hot wings?
I do like hot wings.
Okay.
I'm a fan.
I like more of a crispy hot wing than a soggy hot wing.
Me too.
So I did like the Hooters hot wings because they're more of a crispy.
Yeah.
Hooters does a nice job.
They do a really nice job with hot wings.
They're huge.
Yeah, they are.
You know, you don't get the flavor choice like you do at B-Dubs.
You don't, you know, I think they only have, you know, like heat levels.
What are you going with, a hot or a medium?
I would go like if it was a five-tiered system.
Right.
I would maybe go to a three, four if everybody else at the table wanted it but would not be my preference.
Right.
Yeah, that's about where I am.
I like to taste that wang.
Yeah.
You got to taste that wang.
You got to taste that wang.
Count them turtles, taste them wang.
Yeah, but Hooters is a pretty nice job.
I mean, as far as a place to hang out and get a couple drinks and eat some wings, pretty tasty.
I mean, I think these days there are a lot of other wing options that don't potentially alienate any women who might want to come with you to eat wings.
Right.
So I would probably choose those.
Or any moral men.
Sure, yeah, for instance.
Yeah.
Moral men.
Sure.
Yeah.
For instance.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
I mean, but, yeah, I think as far as food quality goes, pretty solid wings at Hooters.
Wings are fucking good. I just don't.
I mean, they do.
Even though they did that South Park episode, like, it is true.
Like, don't.
When the women sit down at the table with you, like, they're not your friend.
So it's, you know, be nice to her.
She's at work.
But, like, don't try to take her home right because
she's like not your friend and i feel like his friend or his new roommate like might not know
that yeah um so maybe that's like a thing you can lay down before you get inside the hoots yeah
they're there to have fun 420 friendly 420 friendly no drama keep it light and breezy ranch or blue cheese do you think he met

Brian Sonny D

because we usually say
I mean you know
what I always say Jordan
I'm from San Francisco sure no keep it pithy keep it pithy D sent us a note and said, this one's a long one because we usually say, I mean, you know what I always say, Jordan.
I'm from San Francisco.
Sure.
No, keep it pithy.
Keep it pithy is what I always like to say about these momentous occasions.
And this one, less than pithy, but Brian said, it's worth it.
It's worth the investment.
And at the end of the day, Jordan, we're all just a bunch of fucking cavemen telling stories around the campfire.
Drinking cowboy
coffee. Eating some mastodon
wings with some blue cheese.
Or ranch. Yeah.
Blue cheese, though. Seriously, blue cheese.
That's not a
tough choice. Kristen, don't shake
your head at me. Fuck you if you want ranch with
your wings. Sometimes I like a ranch.
Fuck ranch. If they'll bring out both, I'll have both.
Yeah.
If I have to choose, I'll do blue cheese.
Yeah, absolutely.
But I'll do both.
Blue cheese is so much fucking better than ranch.
It's way better.
You're right.
I do like, here, here's a value that I have.
Blue cheese is the king of dressing.
Sure.
Here's a value that I have.
Yeah.
Is multiple dipping sauces.
Yeah, okay.
And I will
dip something in an inferior sauce
for variety.
Agree with you. If you are
dipping apps, it doesn't get any better
than blue cheese.
But if you got some onion rings
or something. Rings? Rings.
Rings and ranch is a good combo.
Rings and ranch is a good combo. Yeah, or some barbecue.
Yeah, it's a nice variety.
You mix it up, and then you can appreciate the blue cheese more.
Yeah.
I want to be clear.
When I say fuck ranch, I'm not saying that ranch is – it's a relative fuck ranch compared to blue cheese.
If it's a choice.
Like, if you just said, would you like ranch or no ranch, of course I want ranch.
I made ranch up at the cabin.
I made my own ranch.
Oh, yeah?
What?
You heard about this Mississippi Roach?
Mississippi Roast?
No, uh-uh.
It's like, it's a roast you cook in the slow cooker.
And the traditional way to make it is you use a packet of ranch dressing mix and a packet of au jus mix
and a bunch of pepperoncinis.
That sounds nice. And then you slow
cook it and it comes out zesty
and delicious. Oh, and an entire stick of butter.
Hell yeah. Oh, there it is.
I, because I am classy,
made the New York Times version.
In the New York Times version. It has peas
in it and people are mad, right?
Yeah.
You use half a stick of butter and you make the ranch.
I made the ranch.
It was hella good.
It turns out it's pretty easy to make ranch if you have buttermilk.
Yeah, I was really surprised.
There's only like four things in ranch.
So let's just finalize our argument here.
Right.
I want to come to a consensus.
Yeah.
Blue cheese, best dipping sauce.
Do you agree with this?
I agree with it.
Okay.
I didn't want you to think you were pressured into joining our side if you have a different opinion.
Because I want to hear that opinion.
I do like it.
But I mean, I also like a sweet and sour, but that's not for the wing argument.
We don't want a situation where you're a teen, we're a dad, and blue cheese is a Tijuana prostitute.
They made me have the blue cheese.
It's okay.
Let it out.
It's fine.
It's a safe space.
I want to be clear.
He wasn't sad enough about it.
Should have been sadder.
He was too ambivalent about it.
Sure.
He did seem to tell it to a guy he was sharing a dorm with.
He was bragging about it in a slightly sad way.
I think, I mean, the sad part is your dad having any involvement, right?
Like, that's the sad part is that why is your dad involved?
And probably the life of a Tijuana prostitute is sad.
It might depend.
She might have a chill.
I'm not saying I'm not. I said probably.
I think there are probably
Tijuana prostitutes who chose
that life willingly
out of an abundance of economic options.
Yeah. You gotta be
fucking rolling it in.
A lot of dads.
There are a lot of dads in Tijuana.
A lot of dads, a lot of big boys.
They're all looking to get them kid that firsthand job.
Gotta get it.
Yeah.
Blue cheese.
King of dressings.
King of dressings.
King of dipping sauces.
You got it.
But if you can have some other dipping sauces around, it'll make your meal more fun.
Honey mustard.
Honey mustard.
Absolutely.
Honey mustard.
Absolutely.
Ranch is in there. Barbecue is in meal more fun. Honey mustard. Honey mustard. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Ranch is in there.
Barbecue's in there. Not my fave.
Like to have it around sometimes.
And hey, can I get some love for ketchup?
No. Okay.
Ketchup is kind of a snooze. Oh yeah?
For little kids. Okay.
I'm not saying you shouldn't put ketchup on a burger or whatever.
I'm just saying I don't really want to dip burger or whatever. I'm just saying, like, I don't really
want to dip anything in ketchup.
It's not anything to me. Give me barbecue sauce.
Okay.
Boy, I thought we were going to have a
summit here
where we could all agree, but you're taking
this anti-ketchup stance.
Look, we are, if I can borrow
the parlance of
our friends the Doughboys, granted, we are not in a hand-holding club.
Oh, boy.
However, we are ballpark buds.
That's fair.
Okay.
Okay?
Yes.
We're almost completely on the same page about this, but I have a quick question for you.
Yeah.
And, Danielle, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this.
What is your number one
Dippin' app?
Ooh, apps just for Dippin'?
Well, just apps for
Dippin'. I mean, they could be
apps that you'll eat straight.
I mean, I'd eat an onion ring or a
cheese stick. I'd eat both of those straight.
I don't need to dip them. No. But I do
like to dip them. It's fun.
I think a fried green tomato.
That's going to be...
Wow.
Wow.
Left field.
Yo, if it's on the menu, I'm ordering that fried green.
Where do you get a fried green tomato?
Very few places.
But if it's on the menu, I'm getting it.
Blockbuster video.
Yeah.
I'm getting that fried green tomato.
No, that's where you get a Beaches.
Oh, God.
Also great for dipping.
Is there a... I don't like tomatoes, but I do like to try new apps.
Is there a place in town I could try a fried green tomato?
Yeah, there's a new fried chicken, which is so dope.
A new fried chicken place.
I think they're still in their soft open out in.
Is that one in Chinatown?
I think it's Inglewood.
There's a fried chicken place in Chinatown?
There's that Memphis hot fried chicken place that's in Chinatown? I think it's Inglewood. There's a fried chicken place in Chinatown? There's that Memphis hot fried chicken place that's in Chinatown.
But this is Gus's.
And the chicken is like, it's flavored all the way through and it's amazing.
And the fried green tomatoes are awesome.
And they don't taste, because it's a green tomato, it's like a tomatillo taste.
It's a brighter, it's not very tomato.
I'm going to try this tomato.
It's pretty great.
And it comes with aioli for dipping.
Pretty good.
You know what?
I've had fried pickles in a number of places.
Oh, yeah.
I love pickles.
I love fried things.
I'm only okay with fried pickles.
Not a fan of the fried pickles.
I think they're a fun change of pace.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not, you know, listen, I'm not eating a fried pickle every night.
But if somebody's like, let's get them, I'm like, yeah, bring them on.
You're not talking about picks on picks on picks. No, no, no. I'm not going a fried pickle every night. But if somebody's like, let's get them, I'm like, yeah, bring them on. You're not talking about picks on picks on picks.
No, no, no.
I'm not going to eat picks on picks on picks.
But yeah, I think it's a fun change of pace app.
Jordan, you-
Also, a fried green bean is a fun change of pace app.
That is a really fun one.
Or like a tempura green bean.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
You keep classing this joint up.
We're getting down and dirty BW3 style.
And you keep classing it up
foodie style. I'm sorry. Should I
go? Yes, please.
Thank you. I'm glad you're
finally picking up what I was laying
down. We've got
one more long call. I do want to let's
okay. Fried green tomato. What is your top
number one dip and app?
I think the most
consistent home run or at least ground rule double that you're going to have at a restaurant or sports bar.
Yeah.
Other than Wings, which are the world's best food, I think it's Onion Rings.
I think you can really, even if you're in a subpar place, even if you're in a place that's a B or a C, onion rings are probably going to be pretty good.
Okay.
It's really hard to decide.
I love onion rings, but I feel like onion rings, it's like one of the biggest differences between, like if you, if there's just a big gap, and I'm not a French fry man.
I'm fine with French fries, but I'm not a lover
of French fries. And I definitely prefer onion rings. But there is such a big difference between
a frozen onion ring and a cut and battered and fried onion ring. That's like even a bad cut and
battered and fried onion ring and a good frozen onion ring. There's such a gap that I feel like
almost always in a B or C place, you're getting a frozen onion ring and I's such a gap that I feel like almost always in a B or C place,
you're getting a frozen onion ring and I'm going to be a little disappointed. Now,
here is my choice for the thing that I feel like it's idiot proof because even the grossest version
of it is something that I definitely want to eat. And that's a mozzarella stick.
That's a solid choice.
I would eat a cold mozzarella stick that came from Costco and at one point was heated up in a toaster oven at a Little League baseball game's concession stand.
That's how much I like a mozzarella stick.
Here's the mozzarella sticks that I have had that have broke my heart.
Uh-huh.
Are the ones where-
First of all, Taylor Swift.
Yeah, it's Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston.
So it's weird for me to see them together.
Yeah.
Taylor Swift.
Yeah, it's Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston.
So it's weird for me to see them together.
Yeah.
Is the one where they've done a shit job cooking it.
Yeah. And it's the not melted cheese rattling around in that skin.
I forgot about that.
Rattling around like a ghost in an attic.
I forgot about that. Yeah, it's like a ghost in an attic. I forgot about that.
Yeah, it's like a kid in a too big sleeping bag.
Yeah, exactly.
Like I don't want.
Yes, yeah.
It's like.
Yeah, you're shaking that sleeping bag and they're straddling around in there.
It's like a tiny dick in some Jankos.
I feel like.
I love mozzarella sticks.
I think they're great.
Yeah.
But those types of mozzarella sticks that I get always make –
because I'm like, fuck, if they come out like that, I'm going to be so mad.
I can understand that.
So.
I had not considered that, and I'm willing to move to the onion ring team
because I do love onion rings.
And even a frozen onion ring, the problematic, the downside.
Yeah, I mean, one of those flippy floppy little jingle jangle.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a little sad.
One of those little sleeping bag situations.
Yeah, I can see that.
Okay.
Let's take the call.
This is tough.
I want to hear what people on the Reddit have to say. Okay. I'm reserving my judgment until I find out what Rich Tackler that. Okay. Let's take the call. This is tough. I want to hear what people on the Reddit have to say.
Okay.
I'm reserving my judgment until I find out what Rich Tackler thinks.
Okay.
What's the best dipping app?
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, JJ Go.
I want to try.
Oh, this is a moment of occasion.
And I want to try to make it succinct, but I apologize if I did not because I just got off of a nine-hour flight from
Paris, and yeah,
I'm a little jet-lagged. Can you pause this real quick,
Christian? Before we get into
this story, you remember the guy
that called maybe two weeks ago
just after he had had a vasectomy?
Mm-hmm. He posted
on the Reddit. I don't know if you saw this over there
on the Reddit. I didn't. He posted on the Reddit
he was
listening to Jordan Jesse go,
heard that Momentous Occasion call,
had no idea that he had made it.
That's funny.
Oh, man.
Put the number in your
phone. Do it.
206-984-4FUN. Okay, let's get back
to Gay Pari.
Yeah, I'm a little jet-lagged and moving up for, like, 24 hours.
But, okay, my mental vacation was in the Paris airport on, like, a five-hour layover.
And, like every airport, every single person there just seemed tired and stressed out
and trying to get children from, you know, driving everyone crazy and hurting themselves and whatever.
And I was wandering around trying to find just a place where I could sit for four hours
and ended up in some weird little corner of a terminal
where the Paris airport had put an upright piano with a little sign that said,
like, play your favorite Paris tune.
It was in French, and my French isn't great, so it was something like that.
But anyway, sitting over there, and these two guys come over, and one of them starts
playing the piano, and he's actually very good, and then, before I know it, they're
kind of launching into weird American karaoke kind of songs, culminating in a rousing rendition
of Fish and Farmhouse, which is a song I've
not intentionally listened to since the late 90s in high school.
And they were the kind of guys, in so many other circumstances, I would have judged as
being, like, obnoxious, bro-y, dude types.
And yet, somehow, at 10 in the morning in this airport, they were so sincere and, like, just seemed to be,
like, they weren't smirking
and the joke wasn't on all of us who were listening.
They really were, like, trying to entertain people.
And we ended up with a nice little crowd
of, like, people, like, legitimately
from 20 different countries
and every sort of, I don't know,
class of humanity or whatever,
and people were gathering around and singing songs, and it was bizarre,
and especially in a moment when it sort of seems like mankind's ability to be racist and xenophobic and horrible, I don't know, is more apparent than ever. It felt like a genuinely momentous occasion.
And suddenly I found myself in the happy corner of the Paris airport.
So, yeah, wanted to share that.
Thank you guys for an awesome show.
Bye.
Can you rewind that real quick, Christian?
Because I missed the part where she talked about who she fucked.
Yeah, it seems like she left it out or maybe the audio cut out.
Maybe it was that second when the audio cut out that she said who was fucking.
Oh, I think it was the entire band Fish.
Oh, okay.
In Paris.
In Paris.
She got fucked by Fish in Paris.
Like they ran a fish train?
Yeah, but it was crazy.
It was just all noodling.
It was just all like.
Oh, that's fun.
I don't...
I didn't even know fish had songs.
Yeah, they did.
You know, and I think a fish song.
I could be wrong.
I'm not...
Listen, you're not talking to fish guy over here.
I read an entire book about fish.
I read our friend Nathan Rabin's book.
I've also read that book.
It's a great book. I read this entire book. I don I read our friend Nathan Rabin's book. I've also read that book. It's a great book.
I read this entire book.
I don't remember
any mention of them.
I remember a lot of talk
about the Stevie Wonder song
Boogie on Reggae Woman.
Sure.
But I don't remember them
even having their own songs.
No, it's this song
that you mentioned,
Farmhouse.
I think it's the closest thing
that fish has had to a hit.
Uh-huh.
Maybe it was on the radio
or something in the 90s
in the, you know,
Blind Melon era of music.
Fish existed then?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I think so.
All this could be wrong.
Like a 1994?
And I know we say this a lot.
Oh, God, I don't want you to correct me.
Oh, please, I don't want to hear about this.
I'm just, here's what I know about Fish.
If it's wrong, don't tell me.
I think
that song Farmhouse,
closest thing they've had to a hit,
it has been on a lot of
mixtapes that people have made for me.
Mixed CDs later in life.
And it is a really great
one of those songs.
And I will listen to it sometimes and I'm like, oh, maybe I like
fish. And then I'm like, nah,
I think I'll just enjoy this song and not examine fish any closer.
It's like a Blind Melon Gin Blossoms type tune?
Yeah.
It's like, hey, this is a farmhouse and other stuff too.
I don't recognize it.
Are people just making you mixtapes that are based off of Ben and Jerry's flavors?
Yes, exactly.
And then, yeah, and then just a Monty Python skit.
There has to be a Reddit for that.
Can I ask you a quick question?
Is it possible that you're confusing a Phish song called Farmhouse with Semisonic's Closing Time?
Closing Time by Semisonic.
Yeah.
This is a farmhouse.
No, you can't sleep here. Yeah. Yeah. It's probably the same song. Well, problem solved. Yeah. Canada, this is a farmhouse. No, you can't sleep here.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's probably the same song.
Well, problem solved.
Yeah.
2069844, fun if you're in the band Fish,
or if something momentous has happened to you.
We would have a guy from the band Fish on, Jordan.
Hey, Trey Anastasio, get in here.
I think he's the problematic front man, isn't he?
Don't know. I think he's the bass player. I think he's the problematic front man, isn't he? Don't know.
I think he's the bass player.
I think he's a guitarist.
Because he played bass on the Tenacious D album.
Really?
Yeah.
I think it was him.
I think Warren from the Vandals played the guitar.
Uh-huh.
And then old Foo Fighters played the drums.
If I remember the Tenacious D album lineup.
You mean old Nirvana. Thank you very much. I like the Tenacious D album lineup. You mean old Nirvana.
Thank you very much.
I like the old stuff.
I like a little band called Nirvana.
Sure.
Thank you very much.
Have you heard of it?
Maybe you guys are big Foo Fighter men, but I've got a little something called taste, Jordan, and I like the music of Nirvana.
So she discovered sincerity.
Is that what happened?
Yeah, or feelings.
She discovered feelings?
I think she discovered that you have more feelings when you're tired.
Yeah, when you haven't slept for 24 hours and suddenly everything is beautiful and means a whole lot.
That, by the way, was a that by the way was a great call it was a great call all i've done is shit on this
i want to be clear that she did a fantastic job good call and in my mind painted a picture like
you know she did such a great job of driving home what i see is the lesson of that
you know what i mean it's feel like what I took home from that call, which is at the end of the day, no matter
what country we're from, no matter where we've been or where we're going, we're really just
cavemen sitting around a fire cavemen. Sure. Sitting around a fire,
sharing stories.
Yeah, yeah.
And sometimes that story
is just the story of fish.
Yeah.
The classic,
the classic theme.
The story is all the time itself.
Yeah.
The classic themes.
You have man versus machine.
Man versus nature.
Guitarist versus unusual time signatures.
Musicians versus audience patients.

About to be up at MaxFunCon, EastMaxFunCon.com, up at the Now
Hear This Festival.
What's that? Early bird pricing's about to close?
Yeah, I think the day this
comes out, so if you're a
loyal Jordan Jessico listener
who jumps all over that podcast,
as soon as it drops,
I think you can still go over there to the Now
Hear This Festival website and get some
early bird ticks, but I think if you're hearing this later than Monday, you're probably SOL.
But you should get tickets anyways because it's going to be a blast.
It's going to be probably the most fun that Anaheim's ever seen.
Outside of when the Anaheim Muddy Ducks won the Stanley Cup championship.
Oh, man, that was a blast.
Oh, God, that was fun.
I flipped over so many cars.
I pissed right through the broken window of that glow-in-the-dark stuff store.
Boom.
That'll show them.
Just some fun boys having fun, huh?
Fun boys.
It caused a fire.
I don't know the chemistry of that.
Yeah.
But something about glow-in-the-dark plus urine equals flame.
Yeah, makes sense.
Specifically a wall of flame.

Max Fund's longtime friend, one of the coolest, funniest ladies I've ever known, is Elizabeth Gilbert.
Lizzie G, as she's known.
She's a regular on My Brother, My Brother and Me.
She's been on Bullseye several times. She's been close friends with Judge John Hodgman for decades and has been a guest bailiff filled in for me on Judge John Hodgman.
We have been making the second season of her amazing podcast, Magic Lessons, which is about being a creative person, basically.
She and celebrity guests, including people like Sarah Jones and Neil Gaiman and Cheryl Strayed and all these really cool people, help people through their creative problems.
These are stories of transformation.
It's a beautiful, hilarious, sweary show that could only come from a bestselling author portrayed by Julia Roberts in a hit film.
No, but for real,
I feel like a lot of people don't know about how cool Elizabeth Gilbert is.
Get with that magic lessons,
because that shit is what's up.
It's already top 10 on iTunes.

Well, you know, she doesn't do much, but what she does is amazing.
Her hips are a concern.
Sure.
Just her osteoporosis is a big question mark.
You know, but she's still hitting them suplexes.
So that's all that really matters.
