Give a little time for the child within you. Don't be afraid to be young and free. Undo the locks and throw away the keys and take off your shoes and socks and run you. It's Jordan Jesse Goh. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective. Jordan Matt. Yep. Happy Father's Day to you, every day. Aw, thank you. The traditional Father's Day greeting of Jordan and Jesse go. As one said to me and I'm going to say August by a man walking in front of the parking garage at Kaiser Permanente. While I had my kid on my

shoulders. Happy Father's Day to you every day. Oh, that's sweet. Yeah. Why? Why were you your kid on your shoulders? No legs. Oh, right. I forgot about that. Something I've never mentioned about my children. None of them. Not a leg between the three of them.

Probably hard to sit on the shoulders if you don't have those legs to wrap, huh? Oh, well, they have lower arms. Oh, lower arms. So it's actually really easy for them to sit on the shoulders because they have lower arms. Oh, lower arms. So it's actually really easy for them to sit on the shoulders, because they have fully opposable hands and the whole nine yards, yeah. Adorable freaks, all of them. They really are.

They're my beautiful little nightmares. Yeah. Jesse, Matt, we're recording this on Father's Day. It's going to come out a little bit later. But how many breakfasts in bed have y'all had today? We're recording this on Father's Day. It's going to come out a little bit later. How many breakfasts in bed have you all had today? I imagine we're recording this at 8 p.m. PST. So have you had like six or seven breakfasts in bed by this point?

If you're asking me, no, none. I've not had a single breakfast in bed. In fact, I was awoken early to take care of my child, and I do not like this holiday. It is a bullshit holiday. This should be a day where you don't have to see your children. That's what Father's Day should be.

Instead, you just have to spend more time with your children, which is not fair. Yeah, my children are not capable of generating net positive experiences for me. Because of all the arms. I mean, they're great at counting up to 20, I promise you that. I think I've talked about this on the show before,

but I have this stepdad that I love. Yeah, talk about Brad. But he's a late in life stepdad. And there is no late in life stepdad card. All the stepdad card, there are stepdad cards. Dear stepdad, as you hurdle toward the abyss. Yeah. Like all of the stepdad cards are so sappy. Like just, it would be so inappropriate

to give these stepdad cards to my stepdad that I got six or seven years ago or whatever. It's like, I am your foundling. I fell from the nest, and you scooped me up even though I was not yours. Like, I just need, thanks for paying it out back six times a year. Thanks for picking up the check at the out back. I'd like to see, for your stepdad Brad, what about a card that says happy trombone? Oh yeah, sure. Because he plays the trombone. He does he does. I mean, yeah

I mean obviously the trombone is so associated with want wah these days Yeah, there's a lot of joyful noses noises the trombone can make. Yeah, we should rebrand it For example Would be a great trombone. Let's's leave the sad shit to the tuba. Yeah. I had a nice father's day. Oh yeah, tell me all about it. I went to the Maury Sendak exhibit

here at the Skirball Center in Los Angeles. Like all exhibits at museums about children's books, it was me who wanted to go and had to make my children go with me they stayed they were in there for I'm gonna say 210 seconds and then Frankie goes this is Boeing we had to leave but that was that was all right. And then I got home. There were some intense meltdowns. And then I went to the I went to the pool, probably two of my kids to the pool, one of them wouldn't go in. But you know what? We count we count all of these as a win. The

fact that the meltdown, the meltdowns happened in the house, not at the Skirball Center. The fact that the child who wouldn't go in had brought her phone to the pool and was willing to pace and look at it while I took the child who was threatening to have a meltdown if they didn't get into the pool into the pool. And then I went to Carnitas Mishwaakan and got myself some nachos. There was actually, there was a really adorable family in front, like truly the most adorable family in front of me at Carnitas Mishwakan for dinner. First of all, shout out to all the dads that were at Carnitas Mishwakan for dinner.

Just like, if you're gonna do it right on Father's Day, you're gonna wanna eat cheese sauce nachos in a semi-enclosed area. A somewhat like a roof but no walls. And in front of me was this family of four. It was a young teenage couple who looked like maybe they were 18, I would guess. And the boy's parents and the boy was being so adorably affectionate with alternating between his girlfriend and his dad. It was the cutest thing in the history of the world. And then like a car full of guys pulled up on the street outside of us, you know, alongside us and started flashing gang signs at us.

And then they drove off and the son turns to his dad and said, banging on me, it's Father's Day. Yeah. Banging on Father's Day. Yeah. Bangin' on Father's Day. Come on. We're not out here set trippin' on Father's Day. These modern bangers. Today our set is all loving our fathers, appreciating the dads in our life.

The fathers and father figures. And fatherly figures. That's what I have. Should we introduce our guests and find out what their relationship to fatherhood is? Yeah, well, I mean, for one thing, they're the fathers of modern George Lucas comedy. There you go. Great segue. It's like we planned it.

We did. Came up organically. What we're doing here is jazz. Yeah. It's like we planned it. We did, came up organically. What we're doing here is jazz. Yeah, they are the star and creator and co-star and producer of the George Lucas talk show, which is not only now a legendary stage show, it is also now a feature documentary called I'm George Lucas, in quotes quotes a Connor Ratliff story Connor

Ratliff and Patrick Cotner hi guys hello thank you for having us it's a joy to have you did you do did you to do any celebrating does George invite you over to the house or for Father's Day? Yeah, I Didn't know George Lucas related Father's Day thing. I sent my dad some cookies in the mail. Oh Did you make them at home or no? I I ordered them from the grocery store The best cookies in New York Levan Cookies, which are too expensive to ship, but I thought it's Father's Day. I gotta do it. Yeah, I don't like those cookies.

What about you, sorry, it's just a reality. I ate those cookies one time, didn't like them. Just opened up in LA too. I think there's one in large. Too many nuts. Too cakey. Jesse, are you describing the cookies or this show? Thank you, Jordan.

Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. What about you, Patrick? You know, I called my father and my grandfather. I sent my dad a nice, a beautiful, thoughtful gift, which was an Amazon gift card.

And he bought a gift for every occasion the easiest gift to give yeah and he bought a book on Fort Sumter which is exactly what he needs he definitely needs another book about Fort Sumter He bought a book about Fort Sumter He said it and I said, yeah, that sounds right. That's right. So that was about it for me, I think. Can I tell you a really powerful dad experience that I've been having lately?

Absolutely. So the one piece of my father's date that I left out was that in between returning from the incredible Maurice Sendak exhibit at the Skirball Center and going out to the Lincoln Park pool for a swim. Uh, I took a nap while listening to the baseball game. Uh, this is my number one hobby. Um, and, uh, lately, so there's like, there's like an MLB app, right? Like you pay your 100 bucks a year or something, it comes with my cell phone, but like you

pay your 100 bucks a year, you get to watch out of market baseball games and listen to all the radio broadcasts. And every time you open it, the splash screen has a little logo down at the bottom for the sponsor. And often it has been Casamigos tequila. The legendary tequila of George Clooney and his friend, Casa? George Clooney and his friend, motorcycle owner. Exactly.

His friend, similarly handsome man. Rich because of oil? Yeah, exactly. Why is rich? Just all those guys in the agave fields just yucking it the fuck up in those commercials. Anyway. Hey Jesse, how can we never go out to an agave field? We're friends.

I know, I know. I like to motorcycle by myself, Jordan. Well, that's why you'll never truly be close to anyone. Those commercials would be way better if George Clooney and his friend that he makes tequila with rode the same motorcycle together. That would be great. Like that level of kind of-

Sidecar or arms around? No, arms around. Just real serious male intimacy. Hold on though, hold on though. Okay. What I mean, Clooney, high status guy, hunk, movie star. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Get him in the sidecar. That's, you know, hey, he can take a joke. He can, you know. And also, why not both? Yeah. Sidecar, arms to the side around. And no one driving the motorcycle. Yeah.

You know, the more I think about this, the more I'm actually feeling, I used to like those Casamigos commercials because they made me feel like I was friends with George Clooney. But now when I think about them, I'm mad that George Clooney's friend that he makes tequila with isn't Richard Kind.

How much better would those be if George Clooney's other best friend. They're real friends. Yeah, they're real life best friends. How come they don't make a tequila together? That's not what I'm here to talk about though. Lately, when I open the app there's a picture of a submarine and the sponsor is buildsubmarines.com. The national sponsor for

Major League Baseball is buildsubmarines.com. Is this just like how there are commercials for things like milk and eggs? Is there just a submarine advisory council? Yeah, building council. Or are they trying to fix their PR problem after last year? They're just like, we got a rough year last year, we got to get in with the MLB crowd. Always choose real Wisconsin submarine Don't choose unlicensed millionaire submarines And isn't the the the next Mission Impossible movie didn't they just have trouble with the submarine they shut down because the submarine they had Maybe wasn't built right perhaps. They didn't use build submarines

Maybe wasn't built right perhaps they didn't use build submarines Evil AI took over the submarine those movies all run together for me Yeah, no, I think evil AI took over the city had real-life submarine issues of some sort okay? Living in a golden age of submarine problems. I think do they know you don't really have to film it in a submarine I if they know that, they do not care. Tom, yeah, Tom Cruise does not give a fuck. He's like, is this, he's like, I'm not going to do the safer version. If there's a safer way to do it, I will not. Tom Cruise is like, put holes in the submarine.

Let's go. I'm looking at, I just went to build submarines.com because I was not planning on bringing this up here, but, uh, and I was not planning on bringing this up here, but And I had not visited the website this appears to be a website Convincing people to build submarines Look away Jesse if you start it too long you will become convinced Here's so by specialty additive manufacturing CNC machining, metrology, non-destructive testing, and welding.

Now welding is the one where that makes a ton of sense to me. Oh yeah. You're going to want to weld panels. These things have to be welded. Yeah. You've got to weld these things. Can I also say, I've never been to this website. I typed in build and it finished it with submarines.com.

So they've got good SEO. That's why we sponsor Major League Baseball is to build that SEO. Well, I'm convinced. I'm convinced just hearing about it. I'm going to start building a submarine probably tomorrow. Yeah. I'm convinced just hearing about it. I'm gonna start building a submarine probably tomorrow Yeah, you build a legacy build bragging rights build your network Build Giants build a submarine I consider I consider all submarines to be my legacy Yes, yes, but that's you know, we got to think about what we're leaving behind for our children

Patrick and Connor I have a question about the George Lucas talk show. Yeah, sure. A lot of the humor in the George Lucas talk show, which is a very funny show, I imagine people are, people know that at this point, but a lot of it comes not at the expense of, but like it is directed at specifically the Star Wars prequels. Where do y'all stand? The prequels were a hilarious fiasco, or are y'all team...

George was playing 4D chess and we didn't get it, and they're actually brilliant. And before you answer that question, I'm just going gonna say, for those of you who don't know what the George Lucas talk show is, this is a live stage talk show in which Connor portrays George Lucas hosting a talk show alongside various co-hosts and actual celebrities being themself. Yeah, you know, Griffin Newman has been playing Wado

for the last six years, seven years, something like that at this point. Before that it was Sean Distin who played Jar Jar. And then post-COVID, I'm now on stage with them as well, whereas before I was just a behind the scenes producer. But we had- You're Dexter Jettster? I am myself, which is a much more boring character

than Dexter Jettster. But we've had insane people, like who should not be doing this. We've had Whoopi Goldberg, we've had Rachel Zegler, we've had Weird Al, we've had Seth Meyers, like insane, insane people that like should not be talking to a fake George Lucas. Patrick, I wanna tell you this.

I've had my own NPR show for 20 years and have not been able to get Whoopi Goldberg. I've tried so many times to get Whoopi. We thought about dressing up like Francis Ford Coppola. There's a very specific, there's a very specific way that we got Whoopi Goldberg on our show. Do you want to tell Connor? No, I think Patrick, you're the one who thought of that show, I think. Sure, yeah. And then we will answer your prequels question.

But we were doing live streams during COVID. We were doing a ton of live streams. Once a month, we would do fundraisers where we would raise money for various different charities or museums or just causes that we thought were good causes. And usually they were us watching single season television shows that we found interesting for one reason or another, whether that was Studio 60 or whether that was the Josh Gad White House Comedy 1600 pen or whatever it was. But then we started, we sort of like not running out of steam on TV shows, but we were like, let's try something different. So we were doing film series. And when we

would do these, we would have the cast and the crew from the TV shows or the movies on to talk about them. So we said, what if we did the Air Bud movies? And then we were like, not exciting enough. What if we did the spin off to the Air Bud movies, the Air Buddies movies, which is when the dogs can talk so there is everybody we talked about this maybe like last episode which one which one do they talk they talk so they talk in air buddy snow buddy space buddy super buddy spooky buddies treasure buddy Santa buddies I think those are all of them yeah the air buddies are just about a real dog that could really play basketball that a producer

saw playing basketball. We talked about this. By the way, Patrick, let's all take a minute to appreciate that he had all the buddies movies off the dome. Well, when we did this show, there was a 20 minute segment of the show at like one in the morning where Connor and Griffin just made me repeat them in order over and over and over again until I memorized them. And it's truly like broken my brain a little bit. But Whoopi was in Snow Buddies, I want to say.

Okay. And Whoopi was also in the pilot for The Tick, which was the show that Griffin was on. She was good friends with the producer of The Tick. And Griffin reached out to the producer who reached out to Whoopi. And then Whoopi came on. She was on at the same time as Tom Everett Scott, because they were both in this movie. We said, do you remember making this at all? She said, absolutely not. Oh, yeah.

It was great. And then Whoopi talked to Watto. You will be talked to. That's truly the only thing I remember about about what we've been on the show is watching in the little zoom boxes as Whoopi Goldberg talked to Watto. Right. That's that's the part that I retained from that experience. I mean, what we Goldberg is what we Goldberg is a famous Star Trek part of it, isn't she?

Yeah. And we talked about that too. She loved Baby Yoda. That was her big thing that she wanted to talk about was how much she loves Baby Yoda. She's not wrong. Everybody loves Baby Yoda. Of course. Yeah. Fucking little tiny Yoda. How could you go wrong? It's like they planned it. You guys mean the child. Okay.

Sure. Oh, sorry. We mean Grogu. I'm still calling him the child. This is something that we came up with a number of times on the show that I still haven't had sorted out. Our listeners know I'm a medium Star Wars guy. Is Baby Yoda a Yoda or the Yoda Honor do you want to answer do you want me to I Would say if I had to answer I'd say a Yoda. Okay. Thanks. I think yeah, that is that take care from you guys He is not the Yoda. He is a whatever Yoda species is

Yeah, we don't really have a name for that Yoda is just a name like Tom or whatever yoda's just pretty much to those names yeah but because he was the first Yoda we met we tend to think of any other Yoda as Yoda's it's like like q-tip you know it's like oh, you call all cotton swabs. Xerox. Yeah, I call rappers. Xerox is not a bad name for Grogu. Could have called Grogu Xerox and it would have been fine. Yeah. As far as the prequels, though, I was seven when Phantom Menace came out. So it was kind of like the perfect age for me.

I was I was pretty much on board, you know, throughout all of it. I went through a phase where when everyone was saying that they were bad, I was like, Yeah, of course, they're bad. But then came back around once I realized I was just trying to fit in with the crowd. Yeah. And as for me, like I I'm older than Patrick. So I'm of the generation where I was like three when the first Star Wars movie came out. So I loved the Star Wars movies as a kid and I loved all George Lucas stuff. And the reason I started doing a George Lucas character was because when the special editions started coming out and there was the word was spreading that

George Lucas was finally going to make more Star Wars movies. Me and my friends, you know, they had all the new scenes that were added into the special editions, and none of the new scenes were good. And so we kind of were getting a feeling like maybe these new movies are not going to be to our liking. So I would start to imitate George Lucas, and my friends would sort of ask, we'd just be like walking around somewhere,

and they'd be like, hey, George, why did you do this? And I would give an answer, like, oh, well, I did that because friends would sort of ask, we'd just be like walking around somewhere and they'd be like, hey George, why did you do this? And I would give an answer like, oh well I did that because of this sort of, and by the time the prequel started coming out, it was just, it was really fun because we had this, it was as if this character that we'd created, our version of George Lucas, had made these movies. So it was really funny that they were not the movies

that most people wanted. And I have a certain amount of respect for what a big swing the movies are in some respects. Like I think it's pretty crazy that the one movie that you could have just made a normal Star Wars movie and everyone would have been happy that he devoted so much of it to this broadly comedic character that was not like anything that was in the movies

that people already liked. That it always struck me as like an extremely confident thing to do. Like this is we're going to take up this Jar Jar Binks character is gonna take up so much real estate in this movie But it was not for me like those movies were They were for me they were for little kids and But I always you know a lot of Fans were really angered by those movies because they'd been waiting so long and they you know People who waited in line for a month to see Phantom Menace and for me it was just funny because I'd already had the pleasure of the

growing up as a kid with the Star Wars movies and to me there was something that Was so Enjoyable about the fact that he did something so crazy Yeah, I would say the greatest ambition was his ambition of a number of things to put in the frame. Number of stuff that is also a toy you can buy because he could there was with like 80 different things. Somebody said something to me a couple of years ago that really I see this with like 80 different things. One shot. Somebody said something to me a couple years ago that really shocked me, which was that

by the time we get to Attack of the Clones, which is the first really big movie that was purely made not on film but digitally, that there are so many more effects in that movie than had ever been in a movie before. And somebody told me, you know, the resolution that that movie was basically shot at, like, your phone can do better than that now. It was shot on 1080p. Which is why it can kind of never look any better. That's why they don't come out with new versions of it

that look better. It's because it's sort of locked in this late nineties technology prison. You could throw some Instagram filters on Dexter Jets to make them look like a little anime girl or something. Sounds adorable. So a lot of the origin of eventually creating a comedy show centered around that character, kind of was inspired by my appreciation for George Lucas kind of shifting as I got older. But I never stopped having fun about Star Wars. I never went through a phase where I was angry about it. So a lot of what we do on the show is about having fun with those kinds of things rather than stoking the

Ever burning fires of anger that a certain pocket of Star Wars fandom Seem to seem to always have burning. Yeah, I mean, I mean we it is too woke now, right? I mean We never would say it on the show, but we'll say yes, it's I mean Have you guys ever heard from George Lucas or the Star Wars like has anybody ever come to see a show has Yeah We've had you know we've had a lot of people who are close to George on the show and We've been in touch with like his wife. What does that mean? Yaddle people who've worked very closely with him like people who worked within Lucasfilm worked on the movies and and You know written movies that he's directed or your producer. You know, there's just people who've who know the George

You had the Tuskegee Airmen on the show It was their first reunion in 70 years. Yeah. And we've been in touch with his people whenever we go out to do sketch fast, which we've done a few times in San Francisco. We've always tried because we think, well, we're in the neighborhood. We should ask. And

the responses that we get are never like form letters. They're always kind of people saying to us like, we really thought about this. Like we talked about this. It's always been, and it's always been like, please keep asking. It just, the most recent one that we did back in January, we got word back like he can't do this one, but please keep asking.

We really did consider it, but he's busy. And we did the show on a Saturday night and the next afternoon we saw a news story saying that during our show on Saturday night, George Lucas was hosting a private fundraiser at his house for the president in which the president was in attendance. And that was the reason he couldn't do our show. I thought you were gonna say something like, oh, we asked, they said he was busy. And then we saw in the news the next day

that George Lucas was riding paddle boats. George Lucas not busy. George Lucas relaxes at home. Why is this on TMZ? So, I mean, we'll see. You know, we'll see. I think he's aware of it. I would have to assume he is aware of it at this point.

We've never had the official. Yeah, we spent a lot of time over the past decade talking about his museum that he's building. Oh, yeah. Because he's been working on this for such a long time, and we've been talking about it so long that a lot of people who are fans of the show will then find out that the museum is real,

and they thought it was a bit that we'd been doing on our show. I mean, of all the museums in the world, when you hear about what's going into it, it does really seem like a bit. Yeah. I guess I don't know what's going into it other than Star Wars memorabilia. Oh, ready? Like Paul. Okay. So Paul Allen, right? He was like, I'm going to have,

uh, I'm going to have a Jimi Hendrix museum. And then they were like, well, you got a lot of other rock and roll stuff. And he's like, great, then it'll be a rock and roll museum. And then they were like, well, you got a lot of other rock and roll stuff. And he's like, great. And it'll be a rock and roll museum. And then they were like, and you got all this sci fi stuff. And he said, I'm going to build a sci fi museum next to it. Right. That was the previous. That was the blueprint on which George Lucas built an extraordinary edifice, I would argue. Yeah, I sort of I sort of liken it to like some people get a storage locker and

And I feel like he's got a lot of posters. You know what I mean? I feel like he's got a lot of a lot of stuff. He doesn't have enough wall space for and The three primary things in this museum Jordan are Star Wars memorabilia Okay, foreign movie posters of which he is I think the number one collector in the world Okay, like, you know beautiful giant foreign movie posters and number three original Norman Rockwell's Yes But we know that the people who because we talked about the museum so much and we actually recorded a song and made a music video about the museum. We know that the people who are making the

museum are aware of our show and have actually played our song over the speakers while building the museum. So you know we we I feel like that's our that's our best in at this point is that we've been we've been first on the ground in promoting this museum. Yeah, I feel like to get invited to the opening. That's the goal. Right. That seems well within your reach. Right. I think so.

I'm imagining you guys being handed hard hats and VIP passes for a walk through. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Anytime. If you're guys, if you're listening, the docents of the Lucas Museum, let us in. We have, we have a lot of docents that listen, huge dosen audience. It's docents, librarians and graphic designers. Sure. Sure. Well, we actually, we got one of the guests on our show Rob Hubel We got him committed to be a docent at the Lucas Museum He really hated the idea But we really we really have forced it on him that he will volunteer to be a docent at the Lucas Museum It does make sense. It does make sense that like

George Lucas likes it collects Norman Rockwell because like what what better interest for the world's corniest man? He loves it. Him and Spielberg are the two biggest Norman Rockwell collectors. Oh my god. Yeah, they have a, there's a book you can get that is of an exhibit from their collection. That is just, it's from the collection

of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, an entire book of Norman Rockwell things. Connor, I like the idea that they share a collection. Oh, yeah. And they just like, they have it in a big building in Burbank. And they walk through it holding hands. Kids in the 1950s were like trading baseball cards and things like that.

And then this is the billionaire filmmaker version of that. It's like, I'll trade you a little kid stealing a bottle of milk. I got a kindly dentist rookie. I have a sad dentist on a snowy day. Oh, you got little stinker drops ice cream cone. When they were when they were like still looking, they're building this, uh, by the, um, natural history museum here in Los Angeles. But when they were looking for venues, there was like an Olympic style

competition between cities. And I remember there was a lot of talk of would they build it in San Francisco because he's been based in Marin for forever, you know, north of or in Sonoma, north of San Francisco. And so it's like, seems natural that they the San Francisco has the Presidio, a former naval base that's like free space that the city could do with them. There was like, will they build this museum? I just remember reading in the newspaper just these paroxysms, these just like

self-entangling nightmares of people trying to describe what the museum was. Like, just what type of museum it was. And then they said no. Yeah, because they'd be like, it's not a Star Wars museum. It's more of a boy. A man likes. You know, I do.

I do say there's a man who's going to make because because it's taken so long for them, there's been so many delays. I do think when you look at what they're starting to put I think they've had more time to figure out What the museum is beyond his collection? So I think the delays have actually made it so that when it'll open People will come in for the Star Wars stuff, but they have like serious museum people who are helping build out a more interesting Variety of things to go along with those So I think it will end up being like, you know, one fourth the things that we think

it's going to be and then the rest of it being like genuinely ambitious. You know, in the sort of done that with everything else he's tried that it's going to probably have an impact. And Polish posters of Greece too. Yeah. I heard they're gonna have an entire Mel's Drive-In. That's what I heard. Whoa. Just a full Mel's Drive-In in there. There was a thing at LACMA here a couple years ago where you could walk through and check out all of Guillermo del Toro's stuff. Oh yeah. This was really great.

This was a really fun time. Obviously Guillermo del Toro has some awesome shit. Like, but to him and to the presentation of the museum, it was all equal. So he had like a German wood cutting of a plague doctor from plague times. And then he just had like a steampunk drawing of Spider-Man. He got it Comic-Con in 2015.

Just like, to Guillermo del Toro, all of this is the most awesome shit. Was his cabinet of curiosities in there? Oh, this was pre-cabinet of curiosities. That's a dope ass cabinet. Yeah. I would love to get my hands on that cabinet. You could put so much cool steampunk shit in there. I haven't looked inside this cabinet,

but let's just say I'm interested. Oh, I'm quite curious about this cabinet. I'd be interested to see inside this cabinet.

Congratulations on that, by the way, Connor. Thank you. It's really a congratulations on trying to get in those healthy fats. Yes. Yes.

Trying to do what you have to try and you'll see how tonight goes, but try. OK, so we have a segment on the program. Jordan, you know this segment. It's called I read it on the internet. Yep. This is just shit we saw on the internet, social media specifically, we know free ads, you know. But I was on the website, Reddit. And I guess I blew the no free ads thing. Sorry about that Matt. And I was on a I was on a subreddit called found paper. Okay. Found paper. And I found this there was this post and it's a note that they said was folded up and impaled on a branch in the bushes in a public bird sanctuary in Chicago. Okay? Mm-hmm.

It says, it's just handwritten on binder paper, I'm not looking at the moment. I am trying to build a cool spot to smoke and fuck. So either help me or leave me the fuck alone until I am fucking done. Thank you. Beautiful. He knows what he wants. Aren't we all, but aren't we all? Isn't that just, isn't that,

didn't that person just describe humanity's plight? I am not looking at the moment. No. I am just trying to build a cool spot to smoke and fuck. But what if it finds him? Is he happy if something finds him? That's a good question. That's a good question.

Yeah. You don't have to be looking to find something magical. This is the start of a romcom. This is the start of a rom-com. This is the start of a beautiful rom-com. Can we send the post to Ali Wong, Jesse? This can be on Netflix by the end of the month. I'm texting this to Ali Wong. We need to text this real quick to Ali Wong.

New rom-com, Netflix, end of month, just do that. I'm sending this to Paul Feig. I had a kind of a nice slash infuriating experience on reddit recently I'm going down there to the to the San Diego Comic Con Details forthcoming stay tuned But I'm looking to replicate something I did last year Which was like host I hosted a happy hour last year. I was like, hey, let's all get together off-site Have a little happy hour last year. I was like, hey, let's all get together offsite, have a little happy hour, mingle in a kind of con-adjacent way.

This was the greatest social event I had ever planned. It went so fucking well. Usually things I planned don't work out. Something goes wrong. Can you try to get a son? Yeah, well, I'm working on it. I gotta get a son. He's gotta get a son. The nightmare continues. Two, three, four. I will be your father figure. Put your little hand in mine. I will be your

teacher. Okay, that's fine. I gotta get a son. Happy Father's Day! Happy Father's Day, everyone. Mm-hmm. Or just Connor and Patrick, just so you know. Yeah, I don't think that needs an explanation. Jordan has to get a son, and he's working on it. I'm working on it. Sure.

Oh, that's great. Relatable. Thank you. I wanna do this again, but I was like, I think the only thing that was a little bit wrong with the last time was like, just the venue was a little weird. I think it was more of a like, you know, people could order at the bar, but it wasn't quite made for that. So I'm like, okay, I need a place that's like, for mingling where people can order at the

bar and it's not weird. So I put on the San Diego subreddit, hey, I'm looking for a walking distance from the convention center, place for a happy hour for 20 people. San Diego subreddit showed the fuck up. So many good suggestions. These people- Really? I would have presumed that these... I mean, I guess I'm underselling the San Diego-ness of San Diegans. I would have thought they would have been like, fuck you Angelino, go home. Oh, I didn't say I was from Los Angeles. I did not say I was visiting. I was very, and I was careful not to mention Comic-Con because you thought. You said instead of within walking distance of the convention center, you just looked

at Google maps, found a business across the street from the convention center and said within walking distance of that. I need a happy hour walking distance from Dick's last resort. No, I'm going to be there for a CPAP convention in August. So I, so you know, but San Diego's so bright. Everybody brings their CPAPs. Yeah. And we all sleep.

And it's quiet as a mouse. It's the little hum of machinery. Dan McCoy is the keynote this year. So the San Diego Showbread, it showed up, like great suggestions, like all of them fucking worked. It wasn't like, yeah, it was reddit thing where people were actually being helpful and giving good suggestions There were a couple of reddity things that happened So it's like I need a place walking distance from the convention center one guy just put depends on what you mean by walking distance

Yeah, like all right. Well, I don't know man under a mile. I Mean, it's a lot shorter if you're like my kids. I promise you that there you go And then what like that's a fairly walkable area Like you should know that once you get out of that main area around the convention center that like no we want The main the main area of San Diego. That's so weird And then someone was bad at just put like just find a place that has what you want and go there You can't argue Just pair it up. You can't argue.

But then because I got that, because I did that, I have just been getting little Reddit updates from the San Diego subreddit, which I don't belong to. And just the headline of one I got in my feed was, why is it so hard to make friends here? That's what the Ask Los Angeles subreddit is all just people. I was noticing there had been a lot of threads lately about why is it so hard to make friends in your twenties in Los Angeles? And then just today there was just one that said, why is it so hard to make friends in your forties in Los Angeles?

And I just thought, oh, we're all lonely, aren't we? But then there's also a lot in there that are like tell me the best neighborhood which truly I think can be summed up as Just find what you're looking for and go there That's basically the answer to that and I feel like you get posts like that in there every single day We actually got a got a saw it on reddit. What's the segment called? I saw it on Reddit. I read it on the internet. Saw it on internet. No, no.

This is visual. If you'll guys will go in the chat, we can see this. This was sent in by a listener. This is from r slash shitty tattoos. And it's a pretty beautiful tattoo of Mario from the Mario franchise. He's doing his famous, you know, jump up with the fist in the air move.

And the, and you know, his Mario's fist turns into the fist of the tattoo haver, right? And then the caption is is cool tattoo until you realize that Mario will be jerking you off for the rest of your life That's not what's upsetting until or because Lot of assumptions lot of opinions in there, thank you. Yes. it's kind of a judgy caption Connor thank you I'm gonna be yeah go ahead I'm gonna be Frank about this photograph I'm looking at this photograph it is very clear to me that the jerking off is not what's upsetting about this what's upsetting about this is it is that it is the tattoo ease right hand and Mario's left

hand oh my god I didn't even notice that. Oh no! It's like a horrifying MC Escher hand. Turned inside out. The top comment says, one of my friends dated a guy with a luffy tattoo like that. She said she hated how it looked like he was touching her boobs.

And then the response to that was, aw man, I imagined that which is Reddit is the weirdest place I You know what I mean, you know what the little Mario tattoo would say when it was touching boobs probably here. We go. Let's hear it Right holy cow Luffy well monkey D. Luffy also known as straw hat Luffy, well, Monkey D. Luffy, also known as Straw Hat Luffy,

is seven years old. Oh, no. Then 17 years old pre time skip, then 19 years old post time skip. Still not OK until post time skip. Why are we Connor? You're a little older. You would probably know Monkey D. Luffy as the grandchild of Monkey D. Garp. Hold on. Where are we?

What are we talking about? What happened? What are we talking about? Did I go to sleep for a couple seconds? Yeah, this suddenly feels like we're talking in like Clockwork Orange future speak monkey D garp what is this he's trying to activate the winter soldier yeah and then of course you Jordan you're one of monkey D Luffy's contemporaries but you might know him because he's sworn brother to portgas D ace okay okay I think this is shit from one piece. Why are you saying it? I don't know I just looked up what Luffy is I didn't know what Luffy was

He acquired the properties of rubber after accidentally eating one of the devil fruits that belong to red hair shanks See Patrick gets it Come on guys knows about the straw hat pirates. I'm talking about Idol is fucking organized ahead of time Come on. This guy knows about the straw hat pirates. I know. What I'm talking about. What's happening? This guy's idol is fucking red hair shanks. You guys organized ahead of time? Man, I'm more into Yousop, frankly. Just to be honest.

I don't know Yousop. You lost me to Yousop. Oh, you might know him by his moniker, Sniper King and God Yousop. Oh, God Yousop, yeah. God, it's fun to just say things from anime shows. Why did you start saying it though? I don't know. Can I tell you what I can because I because it's it because he because the Luffy was in the comments

somebody said that they got a tattoo of Luffy and it looked like you're good. I had to look up what Luffy was I just exhaled there okay I like it when half the podcast sounds like they had a stroke bring it on not my words the words of Luffy in episode 284 of one piece the blueprints aren't past Frankie's decision oh no Jordan you're all alone. I got that for a page of Luffy quotes. One of Luffy's most famous quotes. Just bring it on.

Can I take this opportunity to say that if you enjoy being baffled by odd literal literal translations of things. I cannot recommend enough the movie journey to the West conquering the demons, which is, I mean, anybody who's listened to this show for a while knows how I feel about the monkey king and his journey to the West. Fucking love this monkey king. Wonderful mythology.

This guy's got a staff that he keeps behind his ear. It's the size of a pin until he takes it out. Then he can make it so big he can jump from cloud to cloud. This guy's out of control. Anyway, I watched this movie last night. It is a Chinese film directed by Stephen Chow, who people might know from making Kung Fu comedies, some great ones.

And I watched this movie, comfortably the most bananas movie I've ever seen. It had some banana scenes in it. But also just an absolutely wild movie where I think I was missing a lot of cultural context, even as a guy who knows a fair amount of stuff about the Monkey King. But also, absolutely fucking tremendous. If you want to see an unshaven monk comically battle against a terrifying, like, carp demon, this is the movie for you. What was it called again?

It's called Journey to the West colon, conquering the demons. But here's the thing. I don't want to conquer anything. I just think the guy with the most freedom in the entire ocean is the pirate King, which is of course a quote from episode 400 of one piece by Luffy. Man, you know, from the mouths of Luffies, that's what I always say. The greatest wisdom comes from the mouths of our luffies. Looks like we found the episode title.

We found the episode title. Anyway, there's a shiny face pig demon in this movie. You would not believe. This is a family film with this shiny-faced pig demon that's roasting humans into pork cracklings. Fucking ape shit movies was really fun. Very funny. Recent film? 2013. 2013. Apparently it had a sequel called Journey to the West, the Demons Strike Back in 2017. Best believe I'll be watching that fucking movie because I love the shit out of crazy ass

journey to the west colon conquering the demons. Okay, when something momentous happens to you, give us a call 206-984-4FUN or just send us a voice memo, jjgoatmaximumfun.org. An example of a person who's done so is this person. This is Christopher. And Abby. Calling from Kansas for momentous occasions.

Oh, we just had our first home invasion. I just had my first home invasion. Somebody tried to break in. Okay, that's all. Love you guys. Bye. Bye. That's all?

Come on, guys. Let's rehearse this a little bit. Bye. Bye. That's all? Come on. Guys, let's rehearse this a little bit. I was like... Let's get this tighter. I know you're dealing with your complex PTSD right now. You were in two different registers. It has to be like home invasion, home invasion. Get a pitch pipe.

Yeah, exactly, thank you. Maybe the home invaders stole their pitch pipe. He only took one thing. They said he tried to break in. Yeah. I think so. Sounds like he must have failed. Yeah, call back when he does.

I was positive too. I was like, oh here we go another fucking threesome. Congratulations listeners, you're just having threesomes. Calling us to tell it, rubbing it in our faces that you're having all these threesomes. Well I'm going to the Maurice Sendak exhibit. That's pretty hot too though right oh yeah very hot yeah very hot so they call it the ultimate fantasy we're sorry that's it's fucking awful I've had some of that shit happen too it's it's it's terrible I don't know that I would be able to call and and harmonize with

it it's you know some home invasions I have yeah I have had a that I would be able to call and and harmonize with it. It's You have some home invasions? I have yeah, I have had a couple I've had a couple like people try to get in and stuff Wow, really really scared and then I had I had somebody break in and steal all my stuff when I wasn't there That was that was pretty awful that creates a weird feeling when you're trying to sleep But yeah, it's it's the worst It's the worst. It truly is the worst thing in the world.

Can I ask a question about when they did take everything? Sure. Was there anything that they left where you were like, you should have taken that? Oh, boy. I think that was, listen, I'm still not a man with valuables. Sure.

Sure. Have a hard time accumulating them, but they got a lot, they got, they, they left with a lot of PlayStation games, including one that I was playing. And, you know, I never went back to Persona 5. I was just like, you know what? Maybe I'm never going to finish Persona 5. Wait for Persona 6. Yeah.

Or, you know, Persona 5 Golden. The Game of the Year edition, of course. Game of the Year edition, of course. Game of the Year edition. I love all the DLC. When it comes with the DLC, it's too good a bargain to pass up. You gotta. I bet they broke into my house and were bummed.

Sure. Come on. They didn't take marijuana stuff, which I thought. But I think at that point, marijuana, nice and legal. But I mean, I think at that point marijuana, nice and legal, but I just assumed that like, if you're going around breaking in, you're probably hopped up on drugs. And so you're like, ooh, more drugs.

Are you talking about your Blacklight posters and stuff? Yeah. So, okay, I had a CD of Pink Floyd and a DVD of Wizard of Oz. And if they took both those and started them when the lion roars. They left behind my lazarium? Hey, you guys want to see if this podcast

syncs up to Wizard of Oz and come back for some more? We'll be back in just a second on Jordan and Jesse Go. La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Hallelujah! Hello, welcome, everyone. Step right up. We're going to heal you. We are the healers, Ross and Kerry. Yes, yes.

You there, you look like you're upset. Come up here. Yes, you are healed because you've listened to our podcast. Yes. Have you been having trouble with demons? Are you sleeping too much? Too little? Just right? We have the solution. It is to listen to Oh No Ross and Carrie. A show where we examine unusual claims. We show up so you don't have to. Find us on MaximumFun.org.

We won't actually heal you. It's Jordan Jesse Goh. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's Radio Sweetheart. Jordan Morris, Boy Detective. Patrick Contner, who ate maybe bad salmon for dinner. Connor Ratliff, subject of reason documentary. You know what I'm thinking? Jordan, I think it's possible that you might make a good integrated submarine imaging system engineering technician.

Is this from the One Piece Wiki again? Are you still reading the One Piece Wiki? Journeyman Marine Propulsion Engineer ability to obtain a secret clearance. I'm just going to apply for grinding setup first and second shifts. You got a lot of experience if you know what I mean. Hey Jesse, you know what keeps me alive in this world is neither bodily organs nor muscles. It's my soul. That's another... Wait, is that another Luffy quote?

That's a quote from submarines.com. Oh, okay. You know what Luffy always says? Developing the SSN AUKUS, a trilaterally created submarine combining technology from all three nations and utilizing the UK's next gen design. Yep.

Well, we've had a lot of fun. We sure have. Done a lot to promote this documentary. I think people are gonna be crazy about it. But yeah, let's, you know, listen. Will it contain quotes as inspirational as what keeps me alive in this world is neither bodily organs nor muscles, it's my soul.

But if people do, check out the documentary on VOD now. What are we in for, celebrity cameos, insights? What do we got? Yeah, I mean, it's a documentary. It's been in the works for over five years at this point. They started filming at late 2018, early 2019. And it's both about the show, but it's also about Connor and Connor's journey and life and family.

We meet Connor's parents in it. And I think it's something that's good for people if you've never, ever heard of the show before, if you are a long time fan or someone who found us during COVID or after COVID. Anyone basically what I'm saying is I think the way the dock has been built is that anyone can enjoy it and we'll get something different out of it. Yeah. Which is I'm not lying to you. I would tell you if I was lying to you, I'm not lying to you about that. Thank you. But I think it's fun. You get to see some of the pre-COVID shows at UCB in New York and how the show adapted once lockdown happened. But you can go to imgeorgelucas.com

and right now you can watch it on VOD. It's coming to other platforms soon. It just got picked up for distribution by a company and working on that Blu-ray. We're gonna have that Blu-ray coming. And I keep saying it so that they can't back out. I love that Blu-ray. We're gonna have that Blu-ray coming. And I'm just, I keep saying it so that they can't back out. I love this Blu-ray thing. Have you thought about a 3D Blu-ray?

Ooh. I have not thought about a 3D Blu-ray, but like, you know, we're really trying to make this happen. And to me, it's important always in life to never wonder what would have happened if I only tried something, which of course is a quote from Randy Gerber, one of the co-founders of Cas Amigos.

That's true. And you know, Randy also, that's so funny, when we were motorcycling through the aloe fields, he told me, just find a place that has what you want and go there. That's what I always tell our nuclear submariners. Connor was it tough to get your parents to agree to be in the documentary or was it a fun idea to them? They were fine with it. It was funny because I was a little bit reluctant to you know

what started out as a documentary just about the show and then started expanding a little bit and There was basically a point where you know right after the holidays in Christmas 2019 and the filmmakers were like what if we You can fly back to your parents house for the weekend and we'll pay for it We we can film the interview with them. I thought, oh, that'd be nice. You know, you could spend a free visit to my parents' house. I was kind of had that January post-holiday blues. I was feeling like, oh, go back and see him for a day. And this was two months before lockdown,

which I happened to be two hours from my parents' house when everything sort of started shutting down. I ended up spending all of 2020 at my parents' house. So the thing that I agreed to thinking, oh, it would be great to spend a day with my parents and then ended up spending the entire year in my childhood bedroom. But they're very funny with your mom connor

Yeah, i've spent a lot of time with your mom Whoa, jesse, that's so kind of you. Come on man. And that's what everyone's gonna be able to say once they've seen the documentary Jesse i'm just gonna take that with the most innocent of meanings. It's so kind of you to befriend a Jesse, I'm just going to take that with the most innocent of meanings. It's so kind of you to befriend an older woman like that. It's like your mom always says to me, Connor, we believe in a world that protects freedom and respects human rights, the rule of law, the independence of sovereign states and the rules based international order. Now, is that a luffy quote or someone else?

That's from your mom. She's such a wise lady. Yeah, wise. We had thanks for thanks for hanging out with us, guys. We've been wanting to have you on for a while. This is one of those like, why haven't we done this?

Why? Why? Now, you know, now, you know, now we know is because it'll go too good and make our other episodes look bad by comparison. Can I plug one more thing? Because I feel like people who listen to you might like it was plugin
