Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Hey Jordan, Jesse, go listeners. It's me, Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. And I'm Jordan Morris, boy detective. What a coincidence that we're both here. Yes, on the show that we host. It's a Max Fun Drive time and as we teased in last week's episode, we have a very special treat for you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:27 This is an extra episode. Usually we're throwing out one episode a week. This time we got two. A second episode that we recorded live at SF Sketch Fest with a Mr. Tony Hale. Maybe you've heard of him from that Volkswagen commercial where he dances to Mr. Roboto in the 90s. Or Arrested Development or Veep. Those two beloved comedy nerd shows. He's perfect and truly transcendently brilliant.
Starting point is 00:00:57 And John Roderick, Max Fun host in his own right. A superstar musician from the Long Winters. Yeah, our friend from the Friendly Fire podcast. Yeah, this was a really, really fun show. I laughed my butt off, and I am really, really excited you guys get to hear it. And we wanted to bring you an extra episode because it's MaxFunDrive, and
Starting point is 00:01:15 we wanted an extra chance to talk to you about how cool it is to go to MaximumFun.org slash donate. You know, we invited Maximum Fun listeners who play an instrument and were coming to Jordan, Jesse, go live in San Francisco to bring their instrument without much further explanation. We then had them all go off and learn a song to play with Roderick all together all at once. Yeah, it's a delightful kind of madness. I will say this is probably our most insane live show ever.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Yes, it was very crazy. In a really good way. Not just because both of my parents were in the same room for the first time in like 20 years. Yeah, a lot going on in this episode. If you want to hear what it's like for me to do comedy while I'm having anxiety attacks about my parents' relationship when I was 11, then this is a good show to listen to. My parents don't like each other, Jordan. They don't like each other.
Starting point is 00:02:13 So yeah, why don't we let this sucker play for a little bit, and we'll come back and talk about some of the cool stuff you can get if you go to MaximumFun.org slash donate. Let's go to the stage of the punchline in San Francisco, California. For Jordan, Jesse Goode. Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. I'm Jordan Morris, boy detective,
Starting point is 00:02:54 unsure of where to sit. What a joy it is to be here. Yeah. Just a little something for the home listener. We are recording this at 1 p.m. on a Sunday. So I'm curious, is anyone brunch drunk? A couple of very earnest hands shot up. Is anyone
Starting point is 00:03:13 brunch on shrooms? San Francisco. Hey, welcome to the show. What a joy it is to be here. Both of my parents are here, as far as I know. Yeah, this is exciting for me. They're going to get to see a side of me
Starting point is 00:03:32 that they probably would prefer not to see. I'm going to be frank with you. Couldn't you have gone to graduate school? They'll be thinking. I think I'm in a unique position to just kind of say whatevs on a podcast because my mom still refers to the podcast as
Starting point is 00:03:49 my blog. Are you still doing your blog? She will ask. Jordan, there's a lot of people here I'm sure from... Fuck shit, diarrhea. See, I can say whatever. But I would never say that at home. Jordan, there's a lot of people here from San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I'm sure there are also some folks here who have made a trip to be here at SF Sketch. Yeah, anybody who's kind of from out of town, anybody make it a, yeah. Some travelers. Anybody staying in an Airbnb while they're here? Anybody Airbnb? Yeah, I heard some applause. We actually, I'm glad that we did this then because we got an email from Airbnb. Could we make
Starting point is 00:04:28 a few quick announcements? Yeah, so a little housekeeping before we start. The messaging system at Airbnb is down, so they just have a few... Oh, we're doing dongtails first? So, for the listener at home, here's what happened.
Starting point is 00:04:43 We have slides. For the listener at home, here's what happened. We have slides. For the listener at home, we have slides to accompany the various bits of the show. We thought these Airbnb announcements, which aren't real, were going to be first. But apparently, the first thing we're going with is Dong Tales. Which is a slide I jokingly asked Brian to make at breakfast. And apparently,
Starting point is 00:05:14 he actually made it. Thereby cementing us into a segment called Dong Tales. No, let's fucking go with it, man. I'm my Dong Tale. No, no, no, it's fine. No, we should do Dong Tale.
Starting point is 00:05:31 People are pumped for it, right? Are you enjoying the show so far, Mom? Yeah. So, I mean, like, you know, like they said that New York City was the fifth lead of sex in the city. Our dongs are the third and fourth co-host of this show.
Starting point is 00:05:52 So why not? Because we each have had some significant dong happenings recently. Yeah, mine was pretty quick. I mean, we're staying at... That's what she said. We're staying at a sort of sad business hotel. And I had to use the bathroom in the lobby. Turns out it was in the lower level
Starting point is 00:06:16 after a long series of corridors. And when I finally got there, I opened the door and it was a very small bathroom with two urinals. And the mirror was on one wall and with two urinals, and the mirror was on one wall, and then the urinals were on the wall that was perpendicular to that wall. So if you imagine a corner with a giant wall-sized mirror and then two urinals.
Starting point is 00:06:36 In between the two urinals, there was a divider, but there was a man peeing on the right-hand side of the divider, and I had to pee on the other side of the divider where it was basically just a dong display mirror. It was as though they had intentionally placed the mirror to highlight my schvanz while I urinated. Actually, you went to the concierge and asked them to replace it with a funhouse mirror
Starting point is 00:07:00 so it looked bigger? Yeah. It ended up just looking like a butt plug. Oh, sure. Flared base and all. Yeah, yeah. You can do a long skinny one and then do a funny voice for it. I make pee. Anyway, so my...
Starting point is 00:07:19 The dong happening in my life right now is I have recently gotten comfortable, nay, enthusiastic about having nude chit-chat in the gym locker room. Now, you're on an adult swim team. Yes, adults only. Very discreet. It's a very discreet swim team of adults. What's nice about being on an adult swim team
Starting point is 00:07:50 is you're automatically shaved. Yeah, sure. Right, yeah. Not me, baby. All natural. I don't care if it makes me slower. It's like when The Flash wears a red boot. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:05 But I, you know, and obviously, like, there are some seasoned swimmers on this team who will prance around in the locker room like it ain't no thing. And it was a thing to me for a while, but I've slowly become more comfortable with it, and I
Starting point is 00:08:19 found myself recently having dong out chit chat. Pleasant chit chat about traffic. What that closed fro-yo place might turn into. And what's a good comic
Starting point is 00:08:38 book to try for a new reader. Oh, wow. All just hanging on. What did you recommend? Well, I mean, another nude man was saying that, you know, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns is obviously a classic, and it's standalone. But, I mean, I was making the argument that, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:56 that is very indicative of a kind of 80s comic storytelling that, while very influential, maybe doesn't represent the breadth of comic tones out there these days. Imagine this nude. Imagine this nude. Jordan, please keep talking because my penis is growing.
Starting point is 00:09:15 We don't need that funhouse mirror anymore. Okay, dog tails. Dog tails, right? That was dog tails, ladies and gentlemen. Show of hands. A slide we didn't realize Brian had actually put in the presentation. Show of hands, who wants that to be a recurring segment? Yes, that's a solid 20%.
Starting point is 00:09:33 And now show of hands, who's bummed they came? I think the secret of our program is to have enough segments that if 20% of the audience likes each of them, each of them leaves with one happy memory. So like we said, a lot of people are kind of in from out of town and staying at Airbnb. So Airbnb got in contact with us and just wanted us to relay a couple of messages. Again, this is not necessarily for comedy. It's just informative. So the first message is from these kind folks. It's feel free to join me in my yoga practice at 7 a.m.
Starting point is 00:10:15 But be aware, it's highly sensual. Feel free to get to know our pups. Frankie, the golden doodle with the bandana, loves to play fetch. Spot, the Alsatian, will do anything for belly rubs. And Cerberus, the three-headed one, guards the gates of Hades. So, make sure to put coins on your eyes if you die to pay for your passage across the river Styx. LOL, LOL, LOL. Feel free to use the spices in the kitchen cabinet.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Except the marjoram. That's for daddy. There are fresh linens in the hall closet. If all the regular towels are dirty, just use the sex towels. Those are on the top shelf. Don't be alarmed if the air smells a little bit like cabbage. That just means my grandma Phyllis got into the vents again. Don't be alarmed if the air smells a little bit like cabbage.
Starting point is 00:11:07 That just means my grandma Phyllis got into the vents again. Don't confront her. She's a real wolverine. No direct eye contact. You'll notice that your room is heated by a gas fireplace. So, be sure to eat a lot of beans before you come over. Or, barring that, some other kind of musical fruit. And of course, feel free to use the
Starting point is 00:11:30 Wi-Fi. The network name is JesusIsLordForeva and the password is SpitInMyMouthDaddy. It's an Airbnb announcement, so I just, you know, suss those out who those were for. A few quick...
Starting point is 00:11:50 Should we bring our guest on? Let's do. You know him from the Smash It podcast, Friendly Fire, and from his career as a singer-songwriter in the band The Long Winters. Please welcome to the stage, John Roderick. John, we booked you on the show as the musical guest. Yeah. When you're performing music, what instrument do you usually perform with? I was originally a guitar player,
Starting point is 00:12:27 and then over the course of my career, I was offered the opportunity slash forced to learn other instruments because there are a lot of guitar players, and if you want to stay in the business, you've got to pick up some other... So what instruments overall do you play? Guitar, bass, piano, any synthesizer. Really anything that makes noise I will go after.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Yeah. Try and make some sound. I mean, I know we had kind of a time in indie rock a couple years back where, you know, like an arcade fire was big. So then was like everybody in your world just rushing to learn how to play an Alpenhorn? Yeah. You had these bands with 14 different musicians in them, but then you realize
Starting point is 00:13:06 if you're going to take that show on tour, every one of those people needs a chicken fried steak every day. And that gets very expensive. John, I'm sorry you haven't gotten your chicken fried steak yet. I know you'll have to eat it here on stage. You brought me a banana,
Starting point is 00:13:20 and that was nice. I did bring John a banana. True story. There's no banana tails slide? No banana tails, yeah. We could just use dong tails. Yeah, a banana is the dong of the fruit world. So, John, a partial list of the instruments
Starting point is 00:13:35 that you know how to play. You know how to play a keyboard or a synthesizer. Certainly, it's cousin the piano. If you had to, you could play a harpsichord. Yes. A guitar you could play. Yespsichord. Yes. A guitar you could play. Yes. A bass. A bass guitar. So, John,
Starting point is 00:13:49 you're the musical guest on our show and we've listed all these amazing instruments that you can play in addition to singing. What instruments have you brought with you today? Well, you know, the great thing about Sketchfest is there are a lot of people that bring instruments.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And I learned several years ago that I could just come. So, in other words, you did not bring an instrument. No, I didn't bring any instruments. I've done a few shows so far where I played music. But someone else had a guitar or ukulele or some spoons. Yeah. And so I didn't have to schlep anything. You could probably
Starting point is 00:14:27 jam on a chicken fried steak if you needed to, right? Slap it against your face rhythmically. I could make such beautiful music with a chicken fried steak right now. Watch the gravy splash. John, when we found out that you had not brought a musical
Starting point is 00:14:43 instrument to be our musical guest on today's program, we put out a call to the audience. Now, as I call your name... Wait a minute. This is a very, very... This portends... As I call your name, if you're here, could you please stand? First of all, Gabriel O.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Gabriel O. Hello, Gabriel O. Gabriel O. Hello, Gabriel. My note about Gabriel says, Gabriel has been playing acoustic guitar for 10 years, which is what someone who's bad at playing acoustic guitar would say. Also, I would describe Gabriel's vibe as Metallica roadie. Justin K. is here. Do we have Justin K.?
Starting point is 00:15:26 There's Justin. Hi, Justin. Justin's wife, Sarah, wrote in on his behalf and said he's a talented baritone saxophone player. Okay. Quote, a real jazz cat.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I'm more of a jazz dog person. Yeah. To describe Justin Vibe, I would say, normal man. Yeah. Justin, did you bring a baritone saxophone to this event? I did.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Wow. Yeah. Okay. Matt L., are you here, Matt L.? Matt L. just got here. Matt convinced his ensemble mates to end practice early so he could? Matt L just got here. Matt convinced his ensemble mates to end practice early so he could rush across town to be here.
Starting point is 00:16:09 He is a professional classical guitarist. Excellent. I would describe Matt's vibe as can't see him from here. He's far in the back. He just came in. Matt, I saw him. He has kind of A Claire Danes vibe She's good in everything
Starting point is 00:16:28 Yeah she really is And finally Mark W Mark W Are you here? Here's Mark W He brought his Melodica today
Starting point is 00:16:36 Oh yeah And he jammed with John once At Max FunCon Yes Did you take The songwriting class? Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:44 I would describe Matt's vibe as weed-dealing pizza guy. It's a pizza guy who also deals weed. John, not every, I mean, Jordan, not everyone here can be a miscellaneous person at Tuck Company. We also need weed-dealing pizza guy. Our two
Starting point is 00:17:03 primary demographics. So, it sounds like you've got at least four, possibly five, accompanists. Oh, I should mention, I saw the classical guitarist's instrument. It is an eight-string harmonically tempered
Starting point is 00:17:20 acoustic guitar. Not acoustic, it's a gut-string classical guitar. And a harmonically tempered guitar is when they drop it into water after they take it out of the forge? That's right. It's much better if you get into a samurai fight. Worth noting,
Starting point is 00:17:36 while you were describing the guitar, a woman down front went, mmm, dawn tales. Which I think we could probably just punctuate everything with for the remainder of the show. That seems like a little, like a song interstitial that you could just put into your show from now on. Don't tails.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Don't tails. Woo! Tails of wieners, something, something, dog tails. You're going to have to give us a while of this duck tails parody, okay? It's not. Workshop it, workshop it. We found it.
Starting point is 00:18:05 It came up here. It'll be really good. I was backstage like, I was vomiting on my sweater already. Mom's spaghetti. Getting ready to freestyle song parodies. So with the two guitarists, the melodica and the baritone sax, do you think you can whip up an arrangement of one of your tunes? One of my tunes?
Starting point is 00:18:29 Or a tune. A tune. A tune. Something by John Lennon that'll get us sued. Yeah, we could probably throw together a version of Classical Gas. Yeah. Or, yeah, sure, Bohemian Rhapsody, maybe. You have not met any of these people ahead of time,
Starting point is 00:18:47 outside of the guy who came to MaxFunCon. Confirmed? No, he and I worked together at one point, and you're absolutely right, he's a pizza-delivering drug dealer. So we're going to give you guys a few minutes to go out on the patio and work up an arrangement, and we'll see how it comes out.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Let's hear it for John Roderick. John Roderick. Soon to... See you soon. Debuting an all-new song. It's a lot to ask of him, but frankly, it's his own fault. Sure. Should have brought a guitar.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Yeah. Or something. Should we bring in our other guest? I would love to. This is very exciting. Our other guest is most of the way to an EGOT, probably, because his name is Tony, and he has an Emmy, I think. Sure. And his middle name is Golden Globes.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yeah. Well, that's not part of the EGOT, but... He's got a couple Golden Globes. Jesse. He's talking about his honkers. Jesse he's talking about his honkers he's of course one of the stars of Arrested Development
Starting point is 00:19:50 and Veep as well as the guy who did the dance to Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto in that Volkswagen advertisement from the late 1990s early 2000s please welcome to the stage Tony Hale. Hello.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Now, Jordan, now that Tony's up here, take a good look at those bazooms. They're very nice. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Hello, all.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Tony Hale, bring in a glass of red wine on stage. I know. I was thinking, should I say something? Should I not? My stomach has been bugging me a little bit. So red wine actually makes it... Red wine tends to settle it.
Starting point is 00:20:35 So I realize it's... What time is it? 1.15, maybe. It's not a good time to drink red wine, but... To be fair, not a good time to do a comedy show, yet here we are. What's under here? We're going to get to that. That's maybe our biggest celebrity guest.
Starting point is 00:20:52 How exciting. For the listener at home, we have a covered item on stage that is going to be very exciting. Tony, I learned some very fun facts about you backstage during our pre-show chatting. Maybe the thing I was most delighted by, you are a big, passionate fan of chain restaurant desserts.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I do love chain restaurants. I like chain restaurants in general. Is this a connection to your childhood or something? You know, good question. It is. I was raised in Florida, and I like a mall. I really actually love a mall. Did somebody just go, oh, hey, that's my happy place.
Starting point is 00:21:32 But I love a mall. I love a food court. I love the fact I'm not a hiker, but I love mall walking. Most mall walkers are pretty hardcore about hiking. Thank you. And I love Central Air. Actually, my daughter learned to walk in a mall. I would take her to the indoor playgrounds and let her go.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Her first word was sunglasses hut, right? Or Spencer's. Yeah, sure. Our children are real Spencer's one of the two. Yeah sure. But anyways our children are real Spencer's gifts. Thank you. Thank you. Let me
Starting point is 00:22:09 do an alt of that it maybe didn't land like you wanted it to. Just going to do an alt of that quick. Brian can edit these together. Our children are
Starting point is 00:22:17 the real Orange Julius. I love Orange Julius. That also didn't go great so maybe we'll just cut that whole part. But anyways chain restaurants came out of that too. I love Orange Julius too. If I see an Orange Julius. That also didn't go great, so maybe we'll just cut that whole part. But anyways, chain restaurants came out of that, too. I love Orange Julius, too.
Starting point is 00:22:28 If I see an Orange Julius, I'm there. But I have not seen an Orange Julius in a decade. It's funny. I'm not... I will say that's not in my camp. Mine is more the Great American Cookie Company. Does anybody resonate? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I see you nodding. However, I think they changed their icing recipe, and I'm not a fan. Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. Because I like the double doozy. I contend that their icing recipe and I'm not a fan. Oh, no. Yeah. Because I like the double doozy. I contend that the Arby's horsey sauce is different. And I will not go back until I've been issued an apology. You know what?
Starting point is 00:22:54 I hear you. Thank you. They called me a liar and it's... Anyway. I don't appreciate it. Sure. I don't appreciate it. I get it. I get it. What would you say is your all-time chain restaurant dessert? Or you can have a top three if you want to. Oh, sure. I'd love to have a top three.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I'd say Cheesecake Factory is in that top three. Okay, just any cheesecake from the factory. Yeah, because it's pretty much eating a cake. I'm pretty much quantity over quality. And I think that's why I like the chain restaurant desserts, because they do not hold back. Bring me a lot of something. That's all I care about. Because I like a basic brownie and sundae,
Starting point is 00:23:30 and you get that at TGA Fridays, you get that at Chili's. I like a McFlurry from McDonald's. McFlurry rolls. I way prefer the M&M over the Oreo. I think they actually took the Oreo off the menu. Because I said something. Those bastards. I'm a big...
Starting point is 00:23:47 What are the Dairy Queen and Foster's Freeze analogs? Blizzards. Blizzards and what's the Foster's Freeze one called? Twisters. I love them both. I'm all about Butterfinger. Put some Butterfinger in there. Oh, and then they turn it upside down
Starting point is 00:24:03 and it does not fall out. Yes. The thing, the thing, the primary thing that worries me about those, let's call them twisted dessert confections.
Starting point is 00:24:15 That sounds negative, but okay. Sorry, you can't handle. They're so twisted. They serve them to you in a drink cup. Yeah, they do. Drink cups at a fast food restaurant
Starting point is 00:24:29 are quite large. Yes, they are. And if you order a large twister or whatever at the Foster's Freeze... Let's go with Blizzard. I'm much more familiar with a Blizzard. If you're getting a Blizzard and you're getting the large, that's literally two pounds of ice cream that you're supposed to eat. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:24:45 That's like stacking two pints on top of each other. And I'm not complaining. It is in the drink cup, and oftentimes they're too thick to get through a straw, which is always a little frustrating. Oh, God, I'm getting excited. Dong tail. Dong tail.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Dong tail. But I find you can kind of get around that I don't know about you guys But I can fit my whole mouth around the roof of the cup And just Eat it with no hands I can just tip my head back And let it slowly droop down my esophagus
Starting point is 00:25:20 Delicious And then I go to sleep Come on, isn't that a good feeling? I mean, you feel like shit the next day, but that's a good feeling. That's a hearty sleep. Jordan wrote the first draft of that Lil' Kim song where she says, watch me make a Sprite can disappear in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And it was about a large blizzard. When they wanted to change it, I left the project. Is that really a lyric? Yeah, Lil' Kim's very vulgar. It's one of her signatures. I'd prefer to keep it clean I left the project. Is that really a lyric? Yeah, Lil' Kim's very vulgar. I'd prefer to keep it clean, Tony. Oh, wow. That's disappointing.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I mean, for a sitting U.S. senator to use language like that... It'd be awesome if Lil' Kim was a senator. I would really appreciate that. Would it be awesome? It would be really fun, yeah was a senator. I would really appreciate that. Would it be awesome? It would be really fun, yeah. She's got my vote. Look at the senators we have. Have you met these clowns in Congress?
Starting point is 00:26:12 Oh, don't get him started. Oh my gosh, I just had a total memory of Molly Shannon's stand-up person going, don't get me started. She got that from me. Oh, did she? No. Jordan writes a lot of first drafts. I think I accidentally got that from me. Oh, did she? No.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Jordan writes a lot of first drafts. I think I accidentally stole it from her. Just now. Are we going to deal with our friend under the sheet? Yeah. So, Al, I just want it to be such like a little man. Hello. I'm Danny DeVito. I've been here the whole time.
Starting point is 00:26:43 And I sound like this now how many of you are Jordan Jesse Goh fans regular listeners already and if you're a regular Jordan Jesse Goh listener you'll know that some time ago as a gift my young son Oscar
Starting point is 00:27:01 who's five received a horrible nightmare. He had a bad nightmare. No, no, no. He received as a gift a horrible nightmare in corporeal form.
Starting point is 00:27:17 The nightmare takes the form of a robot called Number Two Robocama. And the robot is here with us today. Oh. So this is a blue robot that my wife got because my son Oscar requested a robot for a birthday, and this was the first thing that came up
Starting point is 00:27:42 if you type robot into Amazon. It says smart bot on the outside for the listeners at home. It has a vaguely R2-D2-esque color scheme, but is a humanoid bot. Right. Just to give people
Starting point is 00:28:00 a sense of what this thing sounds like. I am number three Robocop. I have super sensibility. Able to sense your special orders. I can dance as well. So, yeah. So the robot... Oh, boy. For the robot... Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:28:26 For the folks at home, the robot is trying to kill us and knocking us off our stools. You okay? So I'm just fine. So it has a series of buttons here. There are some that control its movements. They make it slide forward or walk
Starting point is 00:28:45 forward, walk backwards or slide backwards. That's all it did was slide. I didn't see any walking. Turn. It also has five buttons on the controller. One says song. One says machine language. And then one says find mom in shower.
Starting point is 00:29:10 No, no, that's what it says. Too close to home. One says music. One says good habit. And one says science popularization. And one says science popularization. The science popularization one also has the symbol for, like the atomic symbol. The symbol for nuclear power. So this was in your house, and it was both dancing and playing some sort of ace of base knockoff type song.
Starting point is 00:29:40 And then periodically I would press science popularization and this would happen. Master, let me tell you some interesting popular sciences. Master, do you know what a universe is? Universe is a general name of works of God. A universe
Starting point is 00:29:59 is general name of works of God. Is it good for a... This is general name of works of God. I don't... Is it good for a... He's a believer. Yeah, clearly. Is it good for a child to become accustomed to being called master?
Starting point is 00:30:18 Are we just giving our kids fetishes? I mean, I know everything we do gives them one, but is that just laying it out too specifically? Yeah, like, are you worried that this is going to be like... That's the other thing. It gets mad at you when you don't play with it. I only eat credit
Starting point is 00:30:41 card pin numbers. Low battery. Please recharge. Throw me at the White House. Okay, I guess we'll throw you at the White... So, okay. So, as far as you know... As far as your kids know, it's broken. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:04 So... You have lied. One of my children picked it up. My youngest child picked it up, stole it from his older brother, took it into the master bath, and put it into the toilet. I love being in here. I enjoy your waist. Master. Open wide for Master's waist.
Starting point is 00:31:35 All right. Master, put me under the glass coffee table. Spit in my mouth, all right so we said that we were going to dry it out and see if it still worked so we washed it pretty thoroughly dried it and we said we had to put it in the closet to dry it uh we decided to see how long we could keep it in the closet before he asked for it. It had been several weeks in the closet. He finally asked for it and we
Starting point is 00:32:11 improvised that it had not survived the water. Tony, did you, when your kid was going... It sounds like it survived. Don't forget. No, it's broken, Tony. it survived. Don't bring it up. No, it's broken, Tony.
Starting point is 00:32:30 My five-year-old listens to this show. You were doing those voices. Yeah. So, Jesse, you would like this to not be in your house anymore, lest the kids find it and learn that you are a liar. Yeah, I brought it to the office
Starting point is 00:32:46 to hide it from my children, and it's been sitting on my desk. For clarity, it did survive the toilet. Yeah, that's why it made those noises. So it did not have any glitches after the toilet. I'm not going to lie, that says something about the company.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Yeah. It's so well made. They made it well. I mean, an iPhone drops in and you're screwed. Yeah, I mean, I think this has... Such a good point. Those things just fucking break. Yeah, and this can survive a swim in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:33:14 And it's still telling you that a universe is anything made by a living God. He actually, I sent him out to audition to star in WALL-E 2. After the apocalypse, he's the only thing still there. Yeah. But so we want to, you want to get it out of the house. Yeah, because I had brought it to my office for quite some time. And it was frankly actively embarrassing me on my desk. Like too many, you know, like movie stars would come in to be interviewed by Bullseye.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And they'd be like, so, weird robot on your desk, huh? Why did you keep it? Because I felt like I might have to... Was it false guilt? No, I think after a certain amount of... I felt like I had gotten past the window where I could
Starting point is 00:34:00 remove it from my house, but there was always the possibility that me not having it would lead to a catastrophic disaster later. And it's nice to be called Master. That's true. That's a really good point. It's nice. It's a really good point. My wife's not into that shit, so...
Starting point is 00:34:16 You're doing a great job, Master. And I don't care if you sometimes cry. Now, feed me your urine. Now. Feed me your urine. All right. So we wanted to give this away to someone who has come
Starting point is 00:34:33 to all three of our combined Sketchfest shows. So someone who is at John Hodgman Bubble and is here. Has anyone accomplished this? Has anyone hat-tricked this thing? More people.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Please stand. Wow. I really was... All our contingency plans involved no one having done that. And we just boot the robot out into the audience and let people destroy it. But yeah, somebody can have this. So I think what we want to do is we want to give this to someone who's come to all three shows. And I guess because
Starting point is 00:35:08 as we all know, singing is always my hobby. Yeah. You have to, if you want the robot, you have to sing a few bars. And Tony Hale's going to get to judge who wins. Oh, God. That started off scary. If you want the robot...
Starting point is 00:35:23 So we've got an audience microphone right over here Brian Fernandez Number 28 ma'am Just gonna go ahead and make a wild guess All of these are gonna be Hamilton right? Or a They might be Giants deep cut We really only need a few bars
Starting point is 00:35:39 We're just remember that And by the way that's asking a lot I get the anxiety that you're feeling right now. I just hear you, and I see you. Just remember, it's not a well-attended show, so not that many people are judging you. And I've been drinking ice-cold beverages. Oh, okay, great.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Okay, number 28 is ready. What song will you be performing for us? I'm going to do a karaoke go-to of West Side Story Dream a little dream of me Great Here's your pitch

Starting point is 00:38:06 It's a Harry Potter sweatshirt. Oh. Gryffindor? Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff. Hufflepuffs in the audience? You guys should think about spending your time going to a live taping of a comedy podcast.
Starting point is 00:38:26 What will you be singing? I will be doing my karaoke go-to, Bitch by Meredith Brooks. Okay, great. This is different than Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Do you need your pitch? Red leather, yellow leather. Red leather, yellow leather.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I'll just be making up some notes because I do not sing. I want you to know. Nope. That's a different... It's going good. It's going good. Great so far.
Starting point is 00:39:00 That's a different song. That's like Alanis Morissette. That's my other karaoke go-to. I'll do that one instead, since I started. Is that not Bitch? That's Alanis Morissette's I Want You to Know. Yes. You ought to know.

Starting point is 00:41:30 No, I know. I'm a people pleaser. I wish, I mean, it survived the toilet. Can we not separate it four ways and maybe it'll survive? I'm just going to go with my favorite color. And I like yellow. And her sweatshirt was yellow. So I'm going to say say That's a great reason.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Come on up. Congratulations to you and by extension to all the Hufflepuffs here. Yes. Yay. Best of luck at this year's
Starting point is 00:42:02 Tri-Wizard Cup. And I will ask this like I ask at the end of every Harry Potter reference. Did that make sense? Thank you. I can kind of make them. I think it's time to bring John Roderick on. Oh, yes, I would love to. Please welcome back to the stage the one and only Mr. John Roderick.
Starting point is 00:42:22 only Mr. John Roderick. We've put together a little quiz. However, to help out Tony and John, we've decided to ask some folks from the audience to come up and join them. So if you would like to come up and play the quiz with a
Starting point is 00:42:42 major entertainment celebrity or John Roderick. Go ahead and raise your hand. We've got one right here, you ma'am, who raised your hand right away. And how about you, right there. Come on up. Come on up. Nope, they're just going to...
Starting point is 00:43:02 Sidle up. I think you're going to have to... Yeah, you're going to sidle up and you're going to be sharing. Since you're on stage first, you get to pick your teammate. Oh, thanks. Tony. What's your name?
Starting point is 00:43:11 Sorry, John. Danny and Tony. Seemed kind of fast that you'd pick your... It's a proximity thing. Hi, John. Hi, nice to see you. Thank you for being my default partner. Oh.
Starting point is 00:43:26 So this quiz has to do with the website Reddit. Have you guys heard of this Reddit? Yes. Do you use Reddit? Yes, I do. This Reddit. Do you use Reddit, Tony's partner? I'm sorry, I forgot your name.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Oh, it's okay. It's Danny. Right up on that microphone. Not by choice. So Reddit, just to kind of describe it for some people who might not know what it is, it's kind of a message board of ultra-specific communities. It's the front page of the internet. Yeah, and it's a good place to go to express...
Starting point is 00:43:57 If you want to talk to other members of a really specific kind of Nazism. So what are your Reddits? Oh, gosh. If you can say. I'm very active on a TV show Reddit that I'm obsessed with. It's called Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Created by a past guest on Jordan Jesse Go. Yes, I love her. She's the best. Yeah, it's a place I like to go to express an opinion about a Sonic the Hedgehog game and then be called a cuck. Sure. It's a lot of fun. So we have a list of some actual subreddits, which we have combined with some shit we made up. with some shit we made up.
Starting point is 00:44:43 So, your job is to identify which of the subreddits that we read is the real subreddit. So two of them will be subreddits that we made up. One of them will be an actual subreddit. And what's your name? Sarah. My husband is the jazz cat.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Danny. Oh, yeah. He's very jazzy. What is a subreddit? It's kind of like a... It's like a little... Danny. Oh, yeah. He's very jazzy. What is a subreddit? It's like a little enclave where you discuss a very particular thing. How is that different than Reddit? Because isn't Reddit
Starting point is 00:45:17 you discuss a particular thing? I guess Reddit is the larger website that contains the subreddits. They're kind of like individual pages. I'm sure there's Tony Hale website that contains the subreddits. They're kind of like individual pages. Okay, go. I'm sure there's, you know, Tony Hale slash Vic on there. I do not want to go to that.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Yeah, stick with slash r slash Boz Skaggs and you're all good. Everybody loves the Boz man. So yeah, I'll... John, because you just recently sat down, we'll give you guys the first crack at it. Which of these is real? Horn dog, where you
Starting point is 00:45:50 discuss dogs with horns, wolves with watermelons, pictures of wolves eating or standing near watermelons, or seals that might be uncles. And the description for that one is just
Starting point is 00:46:06 discussion theories, etc. Is this which one is real or not real? Which one of these is real? Wolves with watermelons or seals that might be uncles. So our two choices are horndogs and seals. With uncles. Seals are uncles, yeah. That might be uncles.
Starting point is 00:46:24 That might be uncles. But you feel pretty strongly that horndog sounds Reddit. That might be uncles. That might be uncles. But you feel pretty strongly that horndog sounds Reddit. It does to me. Horndogs. Someone in the audience said it does to me. Okay, should we just... I'm going to cede to you on this.
Starting point is 00:46:37 That sounds great, yeah. Horndogs. Bad news, guys. The correct answer is wolves with watermelon. Wolves with watermelon. So was neither. You'll look up there on the screen. We have an example of a wolf feeding a watermelon
Starting point is 00:46:52 that a group of people on the internet are into for some reason. Let's go to Team Tony here for the next one, Jesse. Yeah, Team Tony. Danny and I are being very disciplined by not looking at your paper because we can see your paper and we're not looking. Ooh, it's going to be our quiz show scandal.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Okay, Danny. Okay, Danny, are you ready for this? Yes, sir. Which of these is a real subreddit? Skyfieri. That's clouds that kind of look like Guy Fieri. Bread stapled to trees. That'sieri. Bread stapled to trees. That's pictures of bread stapled to trees.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Or fuckable Nintendo. It's dedicated to ways to fuck Nintendos and their peripherals. Like a Rob the Video Robot. Rob the Video Robot would be the top one. Super Scope 6 Power Glove Power Glove Would be a big one I think we should scratch out
Starting point is 00:47:49 The fuckable Nintendo We're not gonna support that Oh no People love Guy Fieri And stuff that looks like him What was the middle The second one The middle one is
Starting point is 00:48:01 Bread stapled to trees I wanna see that though I know There was a big trend Of Jesus in pieces of bread The middle one is bread stapled to trees. I want to see that, though. I know. There was a big trend of Jesus in pieces of bread. And in trees. And in trees. Ooh. Maybe we should go with your instinct of the Guy Fieri.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Yeah, Fieri. Fieri. Yeah. I agree. Guy Fieri. In the sky. No, sorry. Bread stapled to trees.
Starting point is 00:48:27 You should always go with Rob. Bread, staples, and trees. We should have listened to the robot. But we encourage anyone out there to go out and make the fake ones. Sarah and John, the next one is for you. All right. Dinosaurs on bicycles. A peaceful and loving community For dinosaur enthusiasts
Starting point is 00:48:46 With a penchant for cycling Freedom Hamster Hamsters delivering famous quotes About libertarianism And Freedom Ham Hams delivering famous quotes About libertarianism Oh my gosh
Starting point is 00:49:02 It's gotta be one of the libertarian ones Because that's nine-tenths of Reddit. Here's the thing. I know that there's a Reddit that's like dragons fucking cars. And I feel like that's very similar. That's the main thing we talk about on this show, man. I feel like that's very similar to the first one.
Starting point is 00:49:19 So I'm thinking it's one of the other two. Right. It's not implausible. It could be either all three. But let's see. Which says freedom to you more? A hamster or a ham? Ham.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Ham is way more freedom. How so? Well, I mean, if you had total freedom, go right to the ham, right? Yeah, I'm thinking of those government fat cats. But at the same time, maybe the juxtaposition of the hamster and the freedom is what appeals to people at the Reddit, right? Also, ham can't talk. Ham can't talk. An excellent point
Starting point is 00:50:05 right but you know a hamster is on if my hamster can he told me to murder that woman alright I urinate in my bedding
Starting point is 00:50:15 everything has this voice a hamster is on a never ending wheel trapped in a cage like there's a symbolism there yeah it doesn't realize that's a very good point that trapped in a cage. There's a symbolism there. Yeah, it doesn't realize
Starting point is 00:50:25 that it's a cuck. Right. It doesn't know yet. So a freedom hamster would be a hamster that was ready to go build an underground bunker. Yep. I'm right there with you.
Starting point is 00:50:41 So where do we go? I think you're right. I think freedom hamster. Freedom hamster. Freedom Hamster. No, dinosaurs on bicycles. A peaceful and loving community for dinosaur enthusiasts with a penchant for cycling. I have to say, I'm so literal in my head when you were like, oh, there's a Reddit for dragons fucking cars. And I'm like, how? And then I see it drawn.
Starting point is 00:51:07 How does a dragon get access to the internet? Tony, I'll answer your question mostly in the trunk. Mostly in the trunk. Here's your guys' next one. Which of these is real? Chapped teats. A community for long distance runners. Unlikely goiter. Goiters you'd never expect. Chapped Teats, a community for long-distance runners.

Starting point is 00:51:48 And for the audience, there's a picture of a wild-eyed man eating an orange in a shower. I would describe him as a posts to subreddits type. Sure. Sarah and John, Wooly Bully, a community of sheep haters and harassers,
Starting point is 00:52:07 Fat Squirrel Hate, people insulting the weight of squirrels, That's it. or Animal Friends, pictures of animals who look like cast members of Friends. Oh. Oh. I feel like...
Starting point is 00:52:27 You love animal friends. I could see it on your face. I really like unlikely animal friends, but this is a different thing than that. But I feel like fat squirrel hate is very consistent with what I know about Reddit. Right? You're right. Fat squirrel
Starting point is 00:52:44 hate. That's the real one. You win. Our expert. Look at that stupid squirrel. What an idiot. I hate that squirrel. Okay, this one's for Danny and Tony. Sharks with human teeth. Pictures of sharks with
Starting point is 00:53:02 human teeth. Tall hats. You won't believe these hats. Or three shoes, two feet. The description of which is one too many shoes. That's fine. I think it's sharks. I've seen it. It's terrifying.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I've seen sharks. You're absolutely correct. It's sharks with human teeth. You knew it. I didn't see it right. For you guys. Which of these is real? Oh, he looks nice.
Starting point is 00:53:35 For the record, Danny just said, oh, he looks nice. He does. It's a nice smile. He looks fun. Congress babies. Congress members made adorable. Primary Pokemon.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Discussion of Pokemon as presidential candidates. And enlightened bird men. Discussion of humanity's imminent downfall by bird men. Oh my gosh. I'm really intrigued to go to r slash enlightened bird men. I agree. But that doesn't mean it's real. My instinct is Congress Babies.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Incorrect. The correct answer is Enlightened Birdman. Where they literally make posts where they type out screech, screech, awk, awk, and then philosophy stuff. One and one. Danny's team has two. Oh, okay, well, two and one.
Starting point is 00:54:38 That's fun. Which of these is real? Joe Biden and a sandwich. Pictures of Joe Biden eating a sandwich. Pictures of Joe Biden eating a sandwich. Still shooting. Ideas for sequels to stop or my mom will shoot. And peaches.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Peaches discussion only. Please no herb talk. I feel like I'm gravitating towards the peaches. Somebody getting upset saying please don't talk about herbs. That sounds close. It sounds very Reddit-y. It's actually Joe Biden towards the peaches. Somebody getting upset saying, please don't talk about herbs. That sounds close. It sounds very Reddity.
Starting point is 00:55:09 It's actually Joe Biden in a sandwich. Oh, but now I want to see. Oh, he does like sandwiches. We would have won that one. Yeah, we would have. Danny has such a winning attitude about these nightmarish pictures. Sarah and John,

Ladies and gentlemen, the Roastmaster General. I don't know. Giant micro machines.
Starting point is 00:56:10 I was so excited. I really want to see those. But also, Dorito hair is so absurd that it could be true. Let's go Dorito hair. You're absolutely correct. You're absolutely correct. Yay!

Starting point is 00:57:42 Pocket sand. I'm feeling pocket sand. It's so appealing especially if it was kind of like that warm sand that they use at the optometrist am I the only one to bend your glasses the optometrist has a bucket of heated sand
Starting point is 00:58:00 and they put your glasses in it it heats up the plastic and then they can adjust it to you super hot heated sand and they put your glasses in it, it heats up the plastic and then they can adjust it to you.

Wait, so it's a momentous occasion that you've had recently? Yes.

I remember, I don't need to go into a story, but I remember when I was a kid and I was on the swim team and I didn't like being on the swim team and I stopped in the middle of a meet. And my dad said, he looked at me, was like, keep going. And he said I had an expression in my face that was like, why I'm exhausted. And I just stood up and stopped. Hence the asthma and the albuterol.

Do you have to keep your dog in, like, a weird... When my dog had knee surgery surgery we had to keep her in one of those like inside one of those baby play gates you know like a playpen and we weren't allowed to get her excited because she might run from one side of it to the other and if she ran she might hurt herself oh yeah we had to keep the fun way down and she did not like it did they give

Six months later she pulled her knee. So what do they say it does cover? It covers everything other

In order to, one of the things you can do when you're trying to have a baby is you can check your fertility by looking at your cervix. at your cervix. And we... Sorry to interrupt, but we are really big advocates of just getting a hand mirror

Starting point is 01:08:03 So I got one on Amazon. And what I didn't realize is that most of the people who buy speculums on Amazon are sex perverts. No judgment. No judgment. Well, you said perverts. That was a little judgy.
