Starting point is 00:00:00 Give a little time for the child within you. Don't be afraid to be young and free. Unto the locks and throw away the keys and take off your shoes and socks and run you. It's Jordan, Jesse Goh. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, sauce and funny bread. Great. Thank God. Because sometimes, you know, sometimes when we're doing getting ready to do this show, we don't have anything. Sometimes we have something that we could just use to fill the whole time, you know sometimes when we're doing getting ready to do this show we don't have anything sometimes we have something that we could just use to fill the whole time you know yeah something that's automatically going to take up the entire show because it's a what they call in mining what they call a rich vein right of ore gold platinum we'll find out maybe a little bit of both gold
Starting point is 00:00:42 swirled with platinum is there precedent for that in the history of mining? People are going to be rushing to Alaska because I think we just hit the mother load. Right. Funny bread, you say? Oh, yeah. I think I've talked about this on the show, but in trying to. Some bread is funny. Some bread is sad.
Starting point is 00:01:02 You ever notice how some bread is funny? I'm Jeff Foxworthy. There's a gas leak in my house. Is this going to be our ticket to fame? Gas leak to Foxworthy? You ever notice how... This could be our mango. You ever notice how cabinets tell you to kill your kids? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Jeff, come on. Fix that gas leak. Still, you do seem relatable. Yeah. He's wearing jeans and a sport coat. What's the bread situation here? Because there's I look, I'm a bread fan, but I don't know if I'd call it funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I mean, until recently, me either. I mean, sometimes you see a bread that makes you chuckle or go, hmm, but never like a gaffaw, you know? Like a recognition. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's bread. Yeah, yeah. Like an HBO dramedy. Sure.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Or maybe like a quick applause sure like you're like you're in the studio audience of the daily show of course yes um yeah i've mentioned this on the show before but in an effort to kind of watch my carbs i started buying uh dave's killer bread are you familiar with this brand jesse yeah this is a premium bread product featuring a convict with an electric guitar who loves yeah who i think i think so the the convict in question dave i think has cleaned up his life dave had had a sordid past i don't think he killed anybody i think that's a urban legend and you know also we want it to be true because it would be funny i mean i don't want you don't want anybody to die, but the bread's called killer bread.
Starting point is 00:02:47 So, you know. Yeah. And it would be worth it. Oh, totally. Especially the person was like old or something. Just. Yeah. Like one person who is already on the brink of death.
Starting point is 00:02:56 So died so that we could point out that it's called killer bread because he's a literal name. So Dave, that would be Dave cleaned up his act. He he he's a literal murderer. So Dave cleaned up his act. He created a bread brand that's good for the carb conscious. And there's a cartoon picture of Dave shredding. And I think some consider him a zaddy. I think that's the case. Yeah. yeah i mean i'm i'm thinking about downloading tiktok so i can confirm right yeah i believe only one way is what people consider i
Starting point is 00:03:32 think people wish they he he would play them like the guitar sure so i really like despite people wish his whole grains would improve their digestion. So if this is not a situation, you know how people we this is a frequent wound for both of us is like people saying that carob tastes like chocolate and they don't they can't tell the difference. Yeah, because we were born in the early 1980s and came of age at a time when people claimed carob wasn't fucking disgusting and in fact that it was analogous to chocolate which is one of the tastiest things so i like dave's killer bread and i legitimately like it not in a i'm tricking myself because i know it's you know better for me or whatever i do genuinely i like how it's slim and i love the seeds oh i love the seeds this i'm you know you know me i'm just a i'm a texture freak jesse i'm a i'm a freak textures for you're completely out of fucking control out of control with textures um people have
Starting point is 00:04:38 locked you in basements right chained you up and let you slobber all over yourself tear your own clothes off reason being textures textures uh so i love this stuff but as you mentioned jesse it's a premium brand so it's you're you're paying you're paying a little more for it um you're not afraid to do it. Well, yeah, but I mean, I'm always looking to save and, you know, I'm feeling some pain at the pump, just like everybody else. So even though you're in the guild. Yeah. But you're still worried about the cost of bread.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah. You know, show business is not what it once was. Streaming. You're in the guild is not what it once was. Streaming. You were in the guild, though. Need I go on? Quibi. Quibi, sure. Need I go on?
Starting point is 00:05:33 Cuphead. I mean. So I'm looking to shrink the old grocery budget. And the first thing I think is like, well, maybe the Dave's has to go. But I like it. I legitimately like it. And the first thing I think is like, well, maybe the Dave's has to go. Wow. But I like it. I legitimately like it. So I was looking through the grocery store to see if there's like a store brand version of this.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Because it's a popular enough product. So I think they would have tried to do the store brand knockoff. And it would have a picture of Kroger with the electric guitar. A sexy, yeah, they personified Kroger to kind of a thick-armed dad bod type. Thick arms and thin slices. Choke me, Kroger. Dave's killer bread. so so i was looking through the through the bread aisle and sure enough there is a there is a similar product slim bread covered in seeds store brand this is like it's like a buck less than dave's
Starting point is 00:06:38 but still even though you're in the guild that butt buck could make a difference. The buck's going to go a long way. And spread out over the course of the year, it's going to turn into literally $40,000. This is how much bread I eat. The name of the bread, the knockoff Dave's, same thing. Same all the same. Same thing. It's slim. It's zaddy it's seeded the name of the
Starting point is 00:07:07 knockoff dave's bread is seed blast seed blast i thought what we have been wasting time pumping up this story for 10 minutes, and I realized as you are approaching the end, I'm like, God, I've set Jordan up for failure. There's no way that whatever the end of this story about bread is, that it could possibly pay off until such time as I learned the name of the bread. Seed Blast. possibly pay off until such time as i learned the name of the bread seed blast which is a bread that you can buy at a store do you feel comfortable saying what store uh this is a stater brothers product okay yeah stater brothers stater brothers seed blasts um wow so yeah choke me kroger safeway show feed on maine our guest our guest on the program is one of the hosts of maximum fun's own podcast fanti they're also apparently writing two books at once trevelle anderson hi trevelle
Starting point is 00:08:29 how are you hello i'm reeling from this story about seed blast my god what what a payoff all right i lived it i lived it trevelle if you're reeling uh i'm gonna send up a prayer for you okay you need some prayer with that story jordan was on the scene when it went down travel wow wow what a life in person dead now but it was all worth it uh welcome back to the show, Jordan's Ghost. Wario. I was in a local commercial with Fritz Kuhlman. Yeah, we know.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Yeah, everyone's heard that story. Travelle, fucking great background, my friend. Great background. Thank you so much yeah you you've you've done what i wish i would have done was like make a make because we have to do this we've got to zoom this is the new world but i have not worked on my background how how did this come to be so for the folks folks, I just have some fabric up on the wall behind me. But when we all started this pandemic stuff, it was like two months maybe into Fantai's life, by the way. And we had to start doing everything from home. And so I was doing my podcast from my closet
Starting point is 00:10:06 in the apartment I was living in at the time. And I didn't want people to see my clothes in my closet. So I bought some fabric. They might be intimidated. Exactly. And I'm about uplifting people. I don't want anyone to feel insecure about their wardrobe. And so I went to the fashion district
Starting point is 00:10:25 the garment whatever they call that thing downtown and just bought you know the shiniest fabric that i could find um and just threw it up over the clothes and then i moved twice and the fabric has gone with me because now it's a thing it helps brighten up you you know, a Zoom experience. And I recently found out that it is the colors of the pansexual flag, which was not on purpose. Just to be clear, it was not on purpose. They were just the shiniest things in the store. Again, we all support pansexuals here. Of course. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:04 But, you know, I got to I just got to give a disclaimer because I don't want nobody, you know, course yes but you know i gotta i just gotta give a disclaimer because i don't want nobody you know getting no you know sure of course ideas you know there was okay so i went to our colleague uh carrie poppy's wedding the other day and carrie's wedding uh to her wonderful husband uh drew um it was wonderful it was a lovely affair it was love boat themed oh um they apparently love to watch the love boat together choices interesting i have nothing but respect for it um they showed some scenes from the love boat as part of their powerpoint presentation about why we should all like the love boat and how it's actually good the scenes were truly excreble horrible scenes uh i think the love boat is probably a horrible
Starting point is 00:11:53 show i don't know they didn't convince me of that but it was the theme was like it was like, it was like fancy casual, casual fancy, 60s and 70s influence optional. It was a lot of stuff. It was the kind of fashion theme that people write emails to me about in the put this on email. And then I have to email them back and say, look, you know these people. So I don't. Like, I can't. Calypso casual, I can't help you there um that's not a type of clothing so you need to check in with them or just user intuition i had cowboy cocktail once cowboy cocktail still don't know well i think that's gin with a seed blast. Right, yes. If I'm not mistaken.
Starting point is 00:12:47 So I was really delighted that everyone looked great. uh, friends really came through with the, uh, with the like bold graphics and so forth of, uh, that were suitable for a love, love boat wedding. There was this one couple who I, I talked to briefly and one of the guys had on a hat that was like a, the size of a Yamaka, that type of size of in shape of of hat it covers one-fourth
Starting point is 00:13:29 the head yeah and maybe 30 i'm gonna just give it 30 of the head and it had those kind of silk flowers around it like tightly tightly wound around it and my favorite part of this hat was uh that it you know it was like sculptural almost and what i liked about it was the the beautiful silk flowers went around the rim of the hat and the hat itself was composed of that kind of netting that that a hat might be made up you know that kind of netting do you guys know what I'm talking about? No. I cannot picture a hat netting. Like a hat made of a silky netting and that's what the hat pieces are mounted on. Okay. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Like a bird or whatever, right? It's like a veil. Like the stuff
Starting point is 00:14:20 of a veil is made out of. And what I liked about it was the middle was empty to highlight his bald spot and i thought i would love to have a crown of flowers around the celebrating the baldest parts of my celebrating the bald spot they were visiting these these guys both look like a million dollars they really did they really look great and um they were visiting from portland i found that out when i had their brief chat with them they claim that jordan that you and i are famous in portland which i love to hear absolutely love to hear this um i told you about park slow did you tell them that we were founding members of gang of four i did yes well that's probably well jordan actually i'm just joking
Starting point is 00:15:06 i told them we were clyde drexler i told them that we were portland trailblazers legend clyde me sitting on your shoulder clyde the glide um and uh i they were visiting from Portland, so I suggested to them that they check out the millinery store downtown in Los Angeles. Travelt, do you know about – it's right next to where you bought that tricolor lame behind you. This is a store that only sells hat pieces. Components of hats is what you buy in this millinery store. This is not, it's so, I should say, millinery supply store. It is not a store that sells hats. It is a store that sells the things you make into hats.
Starting point is 00:16:01 You could conceivably assemble a hat based on what you buy at the store absolutely the fucking greatest store you want to buy a silk bird get in there right you want to buy a bald spot highlighting netting that's your spot have you bought any hat pieces from there i went there and i tried so hard to figure out something that I could buy there. And I couldn't come up with anything because I don't know how to make anything from anything. I don't know how to take two things and make a third thing in any... That was... IKEA furniture, maybe.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Yeah. But that's about it. You're basically describing my latest trip to Good Vibrations. Well, I don't know what to do. What am I going to do with do with this yeah maybe bacon and eggs does that count if you put them next to each other is that making a third thing out of two things no i could make that okay fair enough travel uh enough travel you meant you casually mentioned when you were talking about assembling your backdrop that you moved twice in the past two years i did yeah
Starting point is 00:17:06 why all the moving are you on the run i wish um i was i had my own place and then right before the pandemic i got in a relationship and so i started shacking up with my partner at the time and then we were shacking up in the pandemic and i was like girl i need my space so then we moved somewhere else you know a bigger apartment um and then we broke up eventually and so i moved again and now i'm in my beautiful humble abode right now in in the wonderful hollywood of los angeles um So that's why I moved twice. Also, I'm a firm believer in like, when you get tired of a place, leave.
Starting point is 00:17:51 And if that happens to be every year, then you just do what you gotta do. Yeah. I mean, you're bringing the party from town to town. Exactly. I mean, every neighborhood needs a little bit of Travelle in it. Come on now. They deserve it.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I think they deserve it. Although I will say... Hollywood deserves it. I will say I have... Every... The last three apartments have been in Hollywood, so I'm literally just like
Starting point is 00:18:19 jumping from block to block in Hollywood. I think it makes a ton of sense, Travelle. You know why? Why? You've got star quality. Yeah. Period. I sure it makes a ton of sense, Travelle. You know why? Why? You've got star quality. Yeah. Period.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I sure do. You're not wrong. This time, at least. I wouldn't have said it if I was. What are the benefits of your new place? The benefits of my new place? Well, one, it's all mine, right? Sure.
Starting point is 00:18:40 You know, and that's, you know, it's fine when you, like, shack up or, like, living with a partner and all of that lovey-lovey-dovey stuff. You know, y'all are probably in relationships and whatnot, so you understand. But also, when you got your own space, my God, have mercy on me. And so that's the main thing. I have a whole office now. There's a whole office behind this computer. Not that I'm using it for anything except storage, but it's there.
Starting point is 00:19:09 And then I also have a fabulous patio where I eventually will have patio furniture. A really big living room. So I've been able to do like little game nights among my friends and whatnot. She likes to host, you know, folks from time to time. At least like, you know, once every quarter at least, you know. A quarterly host is perfect. That's the perfect amount of hosting. That's all I need, okay?
Starting point is 00:19:37 I don't need y'all up in my house, you know, every week now. Come on now. What's your game night game? So I'm a spades person. Are you all familiar with spades as a game? I know it's a classic card game, but I do not know the rules. I don't think, I don't know if white people play spades. I'm just going to say it.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I think it's just a black person thing. You know, it's cultural, but spades is one of my go-to games. It's a card game like a four person card game um and then um culture tags i don't know if y'all have heard of culture tags it's like it's like a black taboo if you will um and so like the cards have like um acronyms on one side and then you have to get your team to you know decipher the acronyms and there's all these different categories um and so it's really cute really fun really they have a black twitter category which is always you know gets the girls
Starting point is 00:20:37 up and going um and then you know there's uno and scrabble and Monopoly. I have a lot of board games and cards and all of that other stuff. So whatever the folks want to do is what we do. Yeah, if I can speak for the white community, our spades is called Settlers of Catan. If you've never gambled on Settlers of Catan in an alleyway. Are you even white? It's about resource management. Are you even a dorkus? It's about resource management. It's all about resource management, Travell.
Starting point is 00:21:19 We chose the game because it's extractive in nature. We went into the store and said, do you have anything colonialism themed thank you yeah yeah um and can i can i make the assumption that because of your cup that you are shake shack adjacent i am shake shack adjacent i oh yeah picked it up this evening because i was hungry and i didn't feel like cooking um and so i'm very close to the shake shack in hollywood it's an exciting and powerful move to be on the zoom camera have an off cameracamera 28-ounce drink. And then just slide it into frame. Take a sip from that straw. Slide it out of frame. It's like, it's a move that says, I have no shortage of beverage.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I could drink for this whole podcast. You gotta be prepared, you know? Y'all know we talk a lot. Your mouth get dry. You gotta stay hydrated. This is thirsty work. Thirsty work, Travelle. It is.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Are you conducting any other DIY improvements to the Anderson home? uh to the anderson home i am trying to i've been trying since i moved in here in october to like legitimately decorate like like a grown person like put up photos on the wall or get some art you know act like i'm i'm i'm the mature person that i am um the problem is i started one wall that is supposed to be like a collage of like photos of family and friends and whatnot but there's like 10 photos there now and and i did that back in november and haven't yet finished building it out um and so i look at it every day and i'm like okay girl we got to get to that one of these days and i've been saying that for six months so you know me and me and diy doesn't work too easily the problem is going to be before you're able to build it out you're going to have to do a call well by the time you get to adding you're going to have to do some subtracting
Starting point is 00:23:44 i mean we have already heard about your two your two moves. I will say I did tell myself I put myself on punishment. I'm here for at least two years. OK, you know, after the second year, you know, we'll see. You know, I might be bored. I might I might want to go someplace that has a pool. I don't have a pool. And, you know, the world is on fire.
Starting point is 00:24:06 I don't know if y'all have heard. And so it's been insanely hot. It would be nice to have a pool. Yeah. I mean, this is my recommendation, Travell. Go on Hotwire. There's only one five-star hotel in Pasadena. It's the Langham.
Starting point is 00:24:20 When the price is low, buy yourself a night and swim to your heart's content is the price ever low it is you'd be surprised that is a uh that is a i've i've heard that from like um that is a hack from like lifelong pasadinians travel i i moved pasadena in the past year and i'm just kind of getting to know it um and yeah that lang that Langham is a very schmancy hotel that's been there forever. And yeah, I think that is a thing, is monitoring Hotwire for like a Wednesday night when it's a couple hundred bucks
Starting point is 00:24:56 and just going to use the pool. I bought a night at the Langham, the five-star Langham, for like $120. Oh, do y'all know what I just learned about pasadena today thank god we're getting down to it we love talking pasadena did you know that pasadena used to be a sundown town oh i can i don't know what that is to i i will explain my initial reaction was vampires sure vampires and racists one in the same so sundown towns are you know the usually southern place it was around a lot in the south where if you were in this town after dark like as a black person you would get killed type of thing like you you did not want to be caught in the usually like backwoods like real
Starting point is 00:25:46 country type areas um and you just knew that you needed to complete whatever trip that you were going to complete and get through this city before um the sun went down and if you got caught you usually were killed you know you might be jailed you know for whatever reason and so i literally learned a few hours ago that pasadena used to be a sundown town until like the 60s apparently oh my god oh my god i know right and i was like are you kidding me I had not heard that shocking, horrific fact. Isn't it shocking? I have had similar experiences, like kind of learning about Pasadena. And it has a, on the surface, a very cute and colorful history.
Starting point is 00:26:38 But I've had a couple instances like that where I'm like, oh, two paragraphs down, there is something is something i mean maybe that's all of america everywhere is two paragraphs down there's some shocking shit about our horrible history but i mean a lot of people talk about this is something i learned when i moved i mean obviously i'm pasadena adjacent um not in pasadena but a lot of people talk about how amazing the huntington collection is the thrift store i've heard about it yeah um but what a lot of people are are not gonna tell you is that it's only open 11 to 3 tuesday wednesday and thursday so there's a lot of stuff with a dark yeah subtext for sure it's Pasadena. The more you dig, you're not going to like it. Imagine this. Your friend has suggested that if you need some
Starting point is 00:27:32 furniture for your new apartment, you try the Huntington Collection associated with the Huntington Hospital in Pasadena. You go in there and you think, well, this is going to be great. There's a bunch of furniture, high quality furniture, affordable prices, and there's four ladies behind the front desk. So everything is set up perfectly. You go, you pick out some furniture, you bring it to the front desk. You know what you're going to find out? Those old ladies just want to talk shit with each other. They don't want to help you buy something. They're just old ladies that want to talk shit with each other they don't want to help you buy something they're just they're just old ladies that are talking shit that's why they work there
Starting point is 00:28:08 so they can fucking judge people fucking retired from their lives of leisure to hang out at the hunting to actually talk shit to each other burn about you place down the whole town um hey i was uh wondering we have uh this is a max fun drive um episode of the podcast um it's true i want to talk a little bit about the max fun drive and all the exciting stuff that has going on but um we take a break i'm feeling a little peckish i might need to go get a seed blast the blood your blood sugar is kind of low so we'll be back in just a second on jordan jesse go it's jordan jesse go i'm jesse thorne america's radio sweetheart jordan morris boy detective travell anderson fantasia's biggest fan she was the greatest american idol she really was that season three it was hidden okay all downhill from fantasia
Starting point is 00:29:16 a couple highlights carrie underwood you know well We all love Underwood. Carrie Underwood was all right, but she didn't have the magic of those hippopotamuses and tutus. She didn't. You're right. But that's okay. Or the Sorcerer's Apprentice. You're thinking of the Disney classic Fantasia. Speaking of Disney, I do have a quick Burbank update. Okay, please.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I do have a quick Burbank update. Okay, please. So, Travell, recently on the program, I listed, with no punchlines or narrative, just a number of stores that were near where I've been doing physical therapy in Burbank, California. Really, an incredible selection of stores, including a die-cast car store, a place that just makes out-of-home themed entertainments. And a lot of people have been writing me and saying, Jesse, given that your bit, which was so amazing, and a lot of them mentioned that they particularly liked that it went on and on and didn't have a punchline or any jokes per se.
Starting point is 00:30:28 It was just a list of stores I'd looked at. They thought it was brave that you did that. Yeah. They thought it was very brave. They wrote to me and they said, Jesse, you must have listed all the stores near your physical therapy place in Burbank. So if you were to say, get there really early,
Starting point is 00:30:47 and so you drive a little further down the street to take your car to the car wash, you probably wouldn't see any stores that you hadn't listed. And I had to write them back, because I really believe in being straight, you know, really letting people know the truth. Straight talk, Thorne. No Pinocchios here.
Starting point is 00:31:09 There was also a store called Burbank Scales and Tales. It's a lizard store. Oh, wow. So. Probably not the only lizard store. That's a block further down, but I noticed that there was a lizard store there. Very good update. And everybody out there, I just wanted to give you
Starting point is 00:31:29 an update. Very good. Now you know if you're in the Burbank area, you're looking to purchase a snake or lizard, you're going to want to go to Burbank Scales and Tales. Burbank Scales and Tales. Do you think there's also maybe an aspens scales and tales
Starting point is 00:31:48 right not to be confused with fucking up our google results scales entails martha's vineyard scales and tales east scales entails monaco it's like planet hollywood just went everywhere you gotta go and get the shirt you gotta go and get the short um hey it's the max fun drive the most fun time of year a year when we say a big old god thank you so much to the people uh who give money to keep max fun up and running to keep this show going to keep fanti going all the shows on the uh on the network it's it's listener supported you do not have to to keep us afloat you could let us fail yeah i mean at the end of the day at the end of the day
Starting point is 00:32:43 this isn't about merit no if it was about merit you would support other podcasts you probably support fanti or you know heck maybe you'd support this american life i don't know uh but this is about something going on inside of you that you're trying to salve or cure or like a bruise that you're trying to poke by supporting Jordan Jesse Go and we're so grateful to you for it. Yeah, maximumfund.org slash join. You can pick a monthly level to donate at.
Starting point is 00:33:18 There's all kinds of levels, something for every budget from $5 a month all the way on up to uh 100 200 a month uh there's all kinds of cool thank you gifts you can get if you join uh there's bonus content there's hundreds and hundreds of hours of bonus content for you to enjoy if you if you give but um but yeah but it's it's it just it really means a lot that you support us. I don't know if y'all pay attention to the news, but giant companies are getting into podcasting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Until such time as we have the budget to record and release a black star album with most f until him quali uh this podcast and your support will have to suffice yeah it really really there's a podcast company putting out a a black star album yeah um yeah so so it it's really really cool that MaxFun stays independent and listener supported. It is really cool that it is not beholden to giant companies who maybe employ people who are bad. Yeah. Let's say the kind of companies that might give a bad person. I'm just going gonna pick a number of random a hundred million dollars um yeah so we really appreciate it the the the thing i i say
Starting point is 00:34:53 every year that i i i i hope you're not tired of hearing but i think is very apt is that hey if you tip your bartender a buck a drink why not tip your your podcasters a buck a show? For five bucks a month, support all the shows you like. And it just means so much. It really, really does. It makes sure the shows keep going. It makes sure there's no interruptions. Yeah, podcasts come and go. But if people support them, then they can keep going.
Starting point is 00:35:23 JaVale, y'all have been doing your show for two years now? Two years. It has been, like, literally, we started right before the pandemic began, and it has been a wonderful ride ever since. Shout out to my co-host, Jarrett Hill, for getting on my nerves every week.

Starting point is 00:36:03 and also the pain in my ass but i love him nonetheless that's what podcasting is for support two friends coming together for several hours every week to annoy each other will you join us maximumfun.org join. It really is how we keep the lights on at Maximum Fun. Your money goes directly to the shows that you listen to. It's not apportioned by me or anyone else. It's apportioned by you by letting us know what shows you listen to. All you got to do is go to MaximumFun.org slash join. Look, there are levels for everyone, Jordan. If you are a person of extraordinary means or extraordinary passion for our show, you can join for 100 or 200 bucks a month. But I'm not hung up on what level, at what level you join. What I love to see is the number of people who support us going up. I really, it means so much that anyone would support us at any level.
Starting point is 00:37:17 That, like, that is what I'm, that is what I'm focused on. So, you know, look, if you don't have the means to support us, we understand. Uh, but if you do, we're, we're not hung up on, on what the number is.

It is an absolute thrill. And it really is like every year I am stunned that this weird independent operation gets to continue and is so extraordinarily successful because of the support of people who listen to these shows and say, I actually care about that enough to do something about it. It's really incredible. I'm stunned and grateful every single year. And so thanks. Yeah, it really means a lot that we get to do a show like this and like so many other on the
Starting point is 00:38:24 network that are certainly not listened to by millions and millions of people, but just like they have a handful of fans who really like it and really value it and really, um, get stoked when it comes out, uh, every week, uh, or whatever the release schedule is. Um, so yeah, it really means a lot. I mean, if this show was produced by one of those giant companies we mentioned, it would not be a show. It would have been dumped. It would have been dumped years ago. But it's really, really nice to know that we don't have to find some way
Starting point is 00:39:01 to appeal to hundreds and thousands of people, but we can just make a weird dumb show that you like. So if you like it, thank you so much for going to maximumfund.org slash join. And Hey, if you're already a member and you want some of those free bonus gifts, you can upgrade. So yeah, that'd be,
Starting point is 00:39:18 that'd be really cool too. It's maximumfund.org slash join. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jesse Go. It's Jordan Jesse Go. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective. Travell Anderson, Fantasia's biggest fan. Travelle, what's your Shake Shack order? My Shake Shack order is a plain double cheeseburger with bacon, a six-piece.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Is it six-piece or eight-piece? Whatever the lower value is of chicken nuggets and barbecue sauce and a small Coke well this is a large coke but usually a small coke with no ice so you've got a double protein going i i guess that is what that is nuggets in lieu of fries yeah i don't i don't i like the i like shake shack's fries but not for transit like i don't like them post transit and so if I'm not like at the restaurant I won't actually get the fries is that a crinkle
Starting point is 00:40:32 fry it is a crinkle fry yeah thanks for clarifying that guys a lot of good stuff on this show I mean thank goodness for the members of Maximum Fun, huh? Yes, we love them. Without them, this couldn't exist.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Guys, remember on Jordan Jesse Go that one time when we were talking about Shake Shack and then I said, is that a crinkle fry? And then Travell, you and Jordan there, you said yes. If you get cheese fries, they give you this little wooden fork you get to eat them with. Oh, I love that little wooden fork. I don't care for it. You don't like the fork? No, I like the size. I like anything that's smaller than it should be or bigger than it should be.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Right. Just, I mean, that amuses me. Why isn't it the size it should be? Right. Why is it it the size it should be? Why is it smaller or bigger? Fun. But I have to say a wooden utensil bothers me because you know why, Jordan? You know this about me.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I'm a texture freak. Right. You don't like the wooden texture. When it comes to utensils. When it comes to utensils. Don't like a wooden fork? Don't like a popsicle stick. Go ahead Jordan I'm wondering if you're worried
Starting point is 00:41:48 That you might accidentally swallow it And have to move it through your bowels Yikes No that sounds great to me I think it would take care of a lot of things That are probably hanging out in there It's all natural It's biodegradable
Starting point is 00:42:02 Sounds like a fantastic idea to me A bigger concern for me Is if I'm eating cherries Sure. It's all natural. It's biodegradable. Sounds like a fantastic idea to me. A bigger concern for me is if I'm eating cherries, what if I swallow one of the pits? I grow a cherry tree in there. Yeah. Oh. That's my number one concern. Then you just have to eat a handful of Shake Shack for us to get it out. Well, problem solved.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Problem solved. Travell, one of the things that the people who are members of Maximum Fun who've gone to MaximumFun.org slash join support
Starting point is 00:42:31 is the hard work and creativity that Jordan and I put into this program yes so one example is a lot of shows
Starting point is 00:42:40 will instead of coming up with a lot of original segments they'll just make their show literally about nothing or possibly less than nothing like 90 minutes of essentially wasting people's lives um but on our show we're full of ideas and hard work so we come up with segments
Starting point is 00:43:02 for the show not true um and then we have people call into those segments that we've thought of a lot of times we'll write them down mail them to ourselves jordan's a guild member yes um yeah exactly and i used to register it i mean you're writing two books. You know about this, Trevelle. Well, two books Anderson knows about this. TBA. And Trevelle, can I clarify one other thing? It is 100% not people just calling in to tell us something and then they give it a segment name as though it's a segment we've thought of. That's exactly what it is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Thank you for clarifying. It's not that. It's not just is emailing us a voice memo at jj go at maximum fun or calling us at 206-9844 fun uh with some shit that they thought of to tell us and then giving it a name so that there's a reason they're calling in it's stuff we've thought of uh brian uh play one of these calls so i can find out what we thought of hi jordan jesse and my guest is helen zaltzman i'm calling in for your signature segment joker car updates it's a sad update today my local joker car is repainted to be a green arrow car with the text locally hated on it they did still keep their joker seat cover but it's no longer a joker car thanks so much love the show wow can you can you imagine the lack of vision
Starting point is 00:44:37 and confidence you have to have to put like a i drink your haterade sticker on your car but but be like well not even regionally just locally oh my god yeah brian brian actually let us i guess the uh the listener took pictures um the joker car this is the heath ledger joker it would appear um and then the green arrow car um i don't know that this is any i don't know this is the tv green arrow um looks like he's from the comics he's got the uh he's got the kind of robin hood goatee um i like that this local scumbag is sticking within the world of DC Comics. Yeah, you wouldn't want them to have an image-themed car. No, no. Or a Marvel car.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Of course, comics. This is a real sort of like classic airbrush t-shirt style portrait of the Joker. There are also, I would say, just some parts of the car that are red for no reason. That's how I would care. So I would say the hood. Very odd. Yeah. The hood is a classic airbrush t-shirt at the venice boardwalk portrait of the joker
Starting point is 00:46:08 all over print full the full hood and then just some other body panels are red is how i would describe the green arrow version of this car is hanging together thematically a little bit better i would say still ugly but it is you know that's the theme it still goes together i see a car it is genuinely i would say genuinely impressively ugly like the extent to which this is an ugly set of choices cannot be overstated that's why it's locally hated yeah owning it it has it has uh it is like a metallic green or maybe even uh one of those you know greens that changes color depending on the angle you're looking at it with orange accents and that's fine uh but they've decided to make the hood white and it really distracts from it really throws off the whole graphic balance of the entire vehicle that they didn't just put the uh the green
Starting point is 00:47:14 arrow on top of the same base color as the rest of the car is also we have not even addressed that the top of the windshield wiper does say locally hated and then the bottom passenger side corner of the uh of the windshield says all me yeah yes it does oh my god it's also a hyundai genesis i have there's i have a local i have a local joker Harley from Suicide Squad car that cruises the neighborhood. Really? Yeah, yeah. I always like to see it. Yeah, it's the Margot Robbie and Jared Leto versions of the characters.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I think it's got a kind of a purple sparkle paint. And yeah, I always am glad to see it and afraid of who's ever driving it. am glad to see it and afraid of who's ever driving it the vehicles in my neighborhood are generally like intensely tasteful like if you if you find a custom vehicle in in my neighborhood it's like like there's a guy on the next block who has like a totally classic bomba like a 40s ford or something like that that is dropped and is gorgeous like absolutely spectacularly good but i do find myself missing like when i was when i last lived in san francisco was like the golden era of uh donks uh that were it was a time when like teens in my neighborhood uh which was what you might generously call uh an urban neighborhood uh it was an intense it was an intense scene where i lived let's say but the teens there would get off the bus and they'd all be wearing these tiny spongebob square pants backpacks and then the cars might be spongebob themed but they might also be like skittles themed
Starting point is 00:49:13 or like rolos themed and all the it would have the logos and all the colors and it would be on a very homely car such as you know a ford crown victoria like a 1996 ford crown victoria just a real jumpy zero of a car on gargantuan wheels uh that were the color of one of the colors of the like it'd be fruit loops themed a lot of fruit loops themes and i really have nostalgia for that. I have intense nostalgia for the breakfast cereal themed cars and tiny kindergartners backpacks on surly teens. What a moment in time, right? It brings back so many good memories, Jesse. I love it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Tight pants were new in the hood. If y'all had to. That was an exciting development that was going on at the time. If y'all had to airbrush a character on your car, who would you airbrush? Ooh. My first thought is Snagglepuss.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Yeah, sure. That could be really fun. Have a Snagglepuss-themed car. I think I'd go... That could be really good. John Lovitz's character from A Leak of Their Own. Yeah. I mean, that's good. Very specific choice.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I would have guessed that you would have said The Critic. You would have a The Critic themed card. You know, I definitely want it to be a famous John Lovitz character. And of course, we all love Jay Sherman and his famous catchphrase, it stinks. Right. And I mean, most of us have already had, you know, this is one of those hobbies where you have to keep it fresh. You have to.
Starting point is 00:50:52 You have to. And we've all made our, what was that character called? The compulsive liar. Oh, right. Yeah, the guy who's like, yeah, that's the ticket. Yeah. If I had been able to remember the character's name, that joke would really would have been great.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Oh, my gosh. I'll tell you this. I ultimately I ultimately had to get rid of that because I kept getting pulled over and the guy would come over. Yeah, you should take that. That's good. That's great. No, it is. It is fucking garbage. I'm glad. That's great. No, it isn't. It's fucking garbage.
Starting point is 00:51:26 I'm glad. Why would anyone join Maximum Fun now or ever? Travelle, do you have a favorite character who you'd airbrush on a car? So I was thinking of like a red character because I really want a red car. And I'm going to go with this is a Powerpuff Girls reference. Do you remember the character him from the powerpuff girl yes great villain that would be people love mojo jojo it's all about him it's all about him yes it's all me thank you very much yeah then you could parody this guy's car which i'm sure
Starting point is 00:52:02 everyone would get yeah that would be great god i'd love i'd love to parody this guy's car, which I'm sure everyone would get. Yeah, that would be great. God, I'd love to parody this car. Just get Zucker Abram Zucker in here. Let's do a spoof. Brian, we got another segment in there that we maybe thought of but probably didn't? Definitely did. Hi there, Jordan, Jesse, and beloved guest. This is Jackson from Minneapolis, and I am calling in for your beloved segment,
Starting point is 00:52:28 First AOL Screen Names. I just learned what my wife's first AOL screen name was. You see, she wanted the thing to end with 13 because she was an edgy teen, and 13 was an unlucky number. And she wanted it, traditionally, to be her favorite singer. She was deeply into the Velvet Underground and Nico, so she wanted it to be Nico 13, but Nico 13 was an unlucky number. And she wanted it, additionally, to be her favorite singer. She was deeply into the Velvet Underground and Nico,
Starting point is 00:52:47 so she wanted it to be Nico 13, but Nico 13 was taken. So she opted for the character from her favorite book, and that's how I found out that my wife's first screen name was Lolita 13. Wow. She was older than 13 at the time. Holy shit. That's the thing. Love you guys.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Have a good one. Time before content filters, apparently. I'm sure no one wanted to chat with her because they were like, you are clearly a cop. Clearly a sting operation. His screen name was fellow team. Holy mackerel holy cow i travel are you old enough to have to have aol'd or aim i did my screen name was my screen name is actually not even all that bad. My screen name, because I was a very cocky and super intellectual nerdy kid, my screen name was... Can I guess? Hold on. Can I guess real quick? You can.
Starting point is 00:53:55 I think it's probably going to have a... It's got to have a number in it, because the one word was never available. I think it's probably going to have a year in it. It's going to have something that you love more than anything else. So I'm going to guess Fantasia 2000. That's a good one. That's a good one. It wasn't, it was,
Starting point is 00:54:16 it was, it was smart mind of 09. Nice. You, you were, you were brainy and proud. You know, and I was going to graduate high school in 2009. So like, that's where the number came from. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Congratulations on that, Travell. That's something you can be proud of. In fact, why not put that in the corner of your windshield? Exactly. Jordan, did you ever have a, I don't remember what my, I had an, I had an AIM name and I had an ICQ number. Now I really missed this era of the internet. I was very late to the internet.

We had like AOL and I think I was able to like look at an ER chat room once. I remember that being my first like internet experience is going on aol and like clicking on tv shows and then just typing in is kubiak zaddy kubiak from parker lewis can't lose was on er for a while right yeah yeah um anthony edwards real feet

Starting point is 01:13:40 I kind of remember. Okay. Yes. Icon. Are you kidding me? One step at a time? No air? Phillip Phillips?
Starting point is 01:13:51 Someone won that was named Phillip Phillips, and I don't- Phillip Phillips? Great music. Great music, not even going to lie. Can't hold it against him. But yes, his name is Phillip Phillips. What about this guy whose name is Chase? C-H-A-Y-C-c-e oh i don't remember
Starting point is 01:14:07 that person who's that that must be from one of the seasons after i stopped i stopped watching after season 13's winner candace glover then it then it jumped the shark for me and i was like i gotta get out of here uh tommy flanagan oh sorry That's John Lovitz's liar character from SNL. Do you think Lovitz could win American Idol if it came down to it? Lovitz has a beautiful singing voice. Every time I bring it up, I I'm I'm always impressed. I always think it's so so funny and great when he sings. I think Lovitz has operatic training, doesn't he?
Starting point is 01:14:44 Oh, I don't know. That's I mean, it would make total sense. Yeah, I like that's kind of the the style of his singing that he does too um i think lovitz could take it down is there a celebrity american idol i think he went normal america he could just go in and say that he's a you know a kid from michigan like some like you know gen x comedy fans would know who he was but but everybody else. Juan Jevitz? Yeah. Yeah. I don't think. Katy Perry's not going to know who he is.
