taste I'm so you mean. All right. Well, welcome to the Conan and Jordan show. This is our second episode. I have to be honest with you, Jordan. I didn't think we'd get to a second episode. Yeah. Because during the last one,

I'm just being honest, I wanted to smash your face into powder. But we made it. We're here. And this is by popular demand. People love the Conan and Jordan show. What kind of polling did you do to determine the success?

of the first episode. I've looked at no data. I've talked to no one. I live pretty much a secluded, strange life. But I know deep in my heart that this thing's a smash hit, so much so that, look, we have our own sign now, the Conan and Jordan show.

Now, I was under the impression that the previous recording session was an audition of sorts. Oh, God, no. No, we use every part of the Buffalo here. We can't waste anything. So, no, that was not an audition. That was the first episode.

So now we have our own show. We've passed whatever requirements we needed to pass. What requirements are there? This is the radio. I was under the impression it was sync or swim that the first episode was going to determine the future viability of you and I. Not really. No. No, you were under no pressure.

Is this a vote of confidence by any interpretation? Nobody. Nobody has, I've run this up the flagpole. It's serious. They said we don't have a flagpole and we're not taking your call. How does this compare, the launch of this show? How would this compare, let's say, to the launch of your late night show? 30 years ago now.

Yeah. Or any of your new projects, even your Conan O'Brien needs a friend podcast. Would this be comparable launch? Not at all. No, those were like massive battleships that, you know, you hit it with the champagne, they slide into the ocean, then they have a storied career on the high seas defending England or America or whatever country manufactured the ship. This, I don't know, this is the emission of a little gas, maybe from like a broken down machine. But still, it's something that's happening. We have to respect it. What kind of promotional circuit can I expect? Will we be hitting the road? Oh, God, no. No, no.

We can't spread anything. Is there any kind of press release that I need to approve or anything like that? I don't even think we can afford that, and I'm told they're free. So, no. And first of all, you've so far been just asking a series of questions, and I've indulged you. But let me get a little bit of stuff out. Oh, you have an agenda. Okay, go ahead.

Well, you don't have to announce everything. It's the Conan and Jordan Show. It's the second episode. This is where you and I talk. and people do all the time ask me, how's Jordan doing? I want more Conan and Jordan. You know that our videos are a massive hit

on YouTube, various other sundry places, the websites. People love them. They can't get enough. They want more. Well, now we're giving them more. And what better way to experience us

than while you're driving around, maybe in your rental car, or at home listening to Sirius XM? This is the way to do it. People listen to the Conan O'Brien channel. They want to hear this stuff, you know? So it's you and I together. How are you feeling about it?

That's what you cut me off to get to? Yeah. I thought you had some bombshell you were going to drop. That's what you had to say. That's the information you had to spread. Yeah. I can't believe you had Billy Corgan on your podcast and you didn't ask him what he was chanting at the beginning of 1979.

A question that's been confounding fans for decades on the forums. You had him right here. I did ask him. You could have said, what were you chanting? But instead it was. Oh, I'm a guitarist too. Do you prefer a telecaster or a stratocaster? You know, why didn't you ask him the question that people...

It's just stratocaster. It's not stratocaster. We just said the same thing. Second of all, I did ask him. We talked about it as he was getting into his car because the magic moments for me aren't captured. Okay? You greedily want me to spill that kind of stuff into a microphone.

I walked Billy to his car. it was Accura and massive dent the back bumper and I asked him that question and he told me the answer

but that's the kind of thing I can't share you can listen to the isolated audio tracks on YouTube and you still can't figure it out he would have told you it's not meant to be a secret

it's not like Quentin Tarantino not telling people who was in the suitcase and Pulp Fiction it just so happens he's never been asked now you had the opportunity to ask and finally put this to rest,

but instead you decided to stick to guitars. I asked him what I was interested in, and I also knew that he'd tell me when we walked him to his Accura, and he did. So I was satisfied. The internet is a great resource for many things. You could look up Beyonce song lyrics to lemonade and see, you know, a thousand renditions of it,

but there are some songs, John Parr's St. Elmo's Fire, where there are not accurate depictions of the lyrics anywhere. Wait a minute. The song St. Elmo's Fire? Okay. Do you like that song? Do you like that song? 1985 Man in Motion, St. Elmo's Fire by John Parr,

which was secretly about differently able people overcoming the odds, but under the guise of a teen movie as used in the movie, St. Elmo's Fire. They weren't teens. They were in their 20s. Don't anger me. When people call people teens, when they're 25, 26, some of them pushing 30. Emilio Estevez was 44 years old when he started in that movie. You're a man that appreciates horns.

Do you understand the hornwork that David Foster put into that final chorus, yet nobody understands what the lyrics are. But I figured it out. I figured it out. Tell me the lyrics. No, you try to figure it out. No, I don't even know. I looked at the sheet music in the 80s, and the sheet music had the wrong lyrics.

I can't conjure the song. Okay. I can't conjure the song. Can we see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky? Hold on. They changed the lyrics in the last chorus. That's the power. The lyrics are the same in the first and second, but the last one he changes it up.

But you can't understand what he's saying. I figured it out. I listened to that hundreds of times. Well, you cannot. figure it out. Everything on the internet is wrong. Everything on the internet is wrong. A life well spent. Here we go. No, you gotta get to the end. We're gonna listen to this part first.

Okay, this is, I remember this? Okay, first note is upcut. Famous production error. I think the year was 1985. I'm in the theater. Yeah, I just said that. Settle down. Thanks, you're kind of revving. Oh, listen those drums. Those are terrible. This driving, this driving beat, that was David Foster's signature.

Night Ranger's Secret of My Success. Wait, why are we listening? I told you to get to the end. You like this song? This song is fantastic. This song gets the blood pumping. What are you talking about? Don't you hear that driving beat?

It's like four on the floor, but you hear the hi-hat work? And it's that ostinato. You may think that, oh, it's repetitive the drumbeat. I say it's ostinato, the Italian concept of persistence. That is a great musical technique. We just got canceled. But they just let me know. Have you heard the end of Arrasmith's what it takes?

Where he's like, let it go, let it go. That's Ostinato. They cut that off for the single releases of this song. I'm going to ask you to do me a favor. Jordan, when I hold up my hand like this, you're going to have to stop talking. Because otherwise, you just wash over me and you're a little out of control right now. We had a nice conversation going. And then you brought up this song, Man in Motion, the theme song for St. Elmo's Fire, which is a bullshit song.

And then you... I want you to tell me what he's saying in the last course. Don't try to deflect, pivot, or otherwise change the subject. I don't slowly fade out the music. Don't slowly fade out the music after we heard the inconsequential introduction based on the contents of this conversation. Oh, you said to... Listen to the last chorus and tell me what he's saying. You're saying that a great song has an inconsequential opening to the purposes of this conversation.

A great song by definition has a great beginning. How's your hearing? My hearing is perfect. Listen to the last chorus and tell me what he's saying. Or Google it. Take as much time as you need. Tell me what he's saying. I forgot that the universal sign of good hearing is being able to determine and remember the lyrics to man and motion.

Use whatever resources you have at your disposal as an A-list celebrity to tell me the lyrics to the last course. Hey, you think I'm an A-lister? Tell me the lyrics to the last chorus. Listen, here we go. Stay on with fire. I can climb the highest mountain. I can cross the wild to sea. This is easy.

This is kids play. Last chorus, it starts with, I could hear the music playing. There he just yelled. I think so he drops it. You miss the last chorus. Okay. Stop, because I don't care.

Tell me what the last lyric. No, I'm not going to tell you. My hard work, you're not going to benefit after ridiculing me. You're not going to benefit from my heart. listening work. What I'm saying is, also, there are many lyrics for which no matter how many resources you have at your disposal, short of contacting John Parr, by the way, who's a philanthropist,

a British philanthropist, you will not be able to determine these lyrics. Ice House is electric blue. He's a philanthropist, but he can't give his music away. Look at that face. Oh, man, you got served, owned. Jordan, you're a terrible person, and our time away from each other has been a salve from my tattered soul. We're together again

because the public demands it. We have our own show. And you completely commandeered it right up top to make us listen to that piece of mid-80s crap. What's the power balance on this show? If it is, in fact, ours. Well, let's take a look at the order of the names. The Conan and Jordan show.

Huh? The size of the font is also... Yeah, big Conan and then sort of little scripted Jordan. I think you understand what the power balance is here. You're here because I allow you to be here. You live because I allow you to live. And maybe you're just someone that I imagined and you think you have a life. But the minute I stop thinking about you, you'll disappear. Fascinating. So let's talk. Man in Motion, I do encourage the listeners to try and discern the last

part of the song, because that's an important use of everyone's time. What will the listener take with them after listening to this radio program? They will take with them newfound knowledge, although you didn't allow the knowledge to be revealed, newfound knowledge of a great mystery of the internet. I think what people will take from this is a newfound hatred for you. If you ever had... They thought they hated you before, but now they're going to go

look... Before it was, if I cross past with Jordan, I'll smash his face. Now it's going to be, I've got to find out where that fucker is. And I need to take him out at the knees. That's what's going to be now. If you ever have Eddie Vedder on your show, I trust you will ask him what he's chanting at the beginning of WMA.

be the first thing out of my mouth. Okay. Okay. I promise it. I'll write it on my hand. Yeah. All right. Swear to God.

Go ahead. Usually it's how are you. Yeah. I like to try and ease into it. Small talk. Yeah, I understand. That makes people feel comfortable. Yeah.

That's all. That's my technique. But as a robot, you would know that. You have your own techniques. Jordan, this is what we have to do. We have to do a quick commercial. The sponsor now is Lady Crackers. Oh, yes.

Why don't you just give an ad for Lady Crackers right now and just make it up as you go. Lady Crackers. Los Angeles, olive oil and sea salt. Now, you're going to often find lesser quality oils used in many products, things like soybean oil. These are industrial oils. Then you'll find seed oils, sunflower, sunflower. Rarely do you find a brand that's willing to go to the expense of providing a premium oil? Because, frankly, most consumers don't understand what they're putting in their body. They shovel food in. They don't understand the quality of said food. Now you have a product that is using olive oil. One of the finest oil. He had, can I just confirm, can I confirm, Frank, he had no idea what I was going to hand him. No idea. This is not written. There's no copy. There's no copy.

This is absolute. What are you doing? How are you able to do that? Well, the first thing I look for a product made with olive oil and lack of seed oils or processed oils like canola, which is also called rape seed. Which people perceive, because it has a high monosaturated fat content. Did you say grape seed? Rape seed. Well, don't talk that way on this program.

What are you talking about? That's awful. That's a piece of flora. Nevertheless, I look for products that don't use processed or seed oils. I like certain kinds of fats. I like olive oil, butter, or ghee. A coconut oil is fine. Let's get back to, you know, the sponsor's going to want to hear their product name and a little more about the product rather than a list of every oil that exists.

Yeah, Lady Crackers, Los Angeles, olive oil and sea salt premium. Very few ingredients, which is always a good thing. Would you like to taste one? Why don't you open it up and taste one? It's okay. Could you please? I typically try to avoid. It's okay.

Would you please? Avoid, please. Yeah. Just open it. When I open a box like this, I don't, I like to keep these three tabs intact, okay? Sometimes it's a challenge. I have to look. I believe that we're defined by what surrounds us aesthetically every day.

I like a beautiful looking box to surround me, a box that I could picture you, especially if we're producing a program like this ripping this thing. I would tear that. I would just tear it apart. But I like to. Put it in your mouth, please. Yeah, stick in your mouth. Yeah.

Right. Just have the cracker, please. Yeah, I understand. Yeah, well, what do you think? Not overly salted. That's a good thing. Right. Sometimes they put too much salt on it.

I mean, is they put too much salt. Oh, 340 milligrams. That's a little high per serving. I don't know how you define a serving size one ounce. That's a sponsor, Jordan. So just try and be positive about it. Is that to say that it's a perfect product? Who am I to, who am I to assess?

This is the worst ad ever. You can't just crunch it and say it's not perfect. I see a lot of, if you're looking for a cracker, if I were looking for a cracker, if I found myself, a lot of people look for crackers in their daily lives. They feel like they want a cracker. If I wanted a cracker, I would certainly go for Lady and Larder. That's a fine pitch. I'm going to do you one better. Lady and Larder, I want a cracker at night and I want one with a clean crunch. That gives you that Lady and Larder crackle, the Munch Crunch that makes you happy a whole bunch. white lady and larder lady and larder tear that box open rip them tabs and slam that cracker down your

puss and remember if any crumbs go astray use your tongue get it outside your face and lick them up keep that tongue outside your head it's a good way to get those crumbs lady and larder now with more of the good stuff that you love get it now what do you think good ad well you know we have different approaches. Yeah. You talked in a very depressed way for a while, and then said, seems like kind of a high sodium content. In the end, we both appreciate lady crackers for different reasons. Yeah. You like the clean crunch. I like the lack of over-reliance on process industrial oils. It's the clean crunch that gives you a munch, and I love it a bunch. See the way it rhymes. People love that in an ad. They're not going to remember your sodium content quip, but they're going

remember my. Do you have an idea for a jingle for this? Do you want to sing a little song about it? The company asked us to sing a jingle. Can you please do the jingle? I'm not one to sing, but I could tell you, I wrote a jingle for Guinness Beer once. I entered a contest in 1996. Oh, what's true? And I believe I should have won. So the contest, they may have this regularly. You had to write a limerick. You're familiar with a limerick. Oh, that's racist, but sure. Yeah, and I live with a leprechaun. Okay. And I just ate a four-leaf clover from lunch. A limerick is a written work that follows a very specific syntax and rhyming structure, okay? Five lines, one, two, and five rhyme, and then three and four rhyme, okay? Guinness had a contest. Come up with a limerick and the winner will get, maybe it was a trip to Ireland or something like this. So in 1996, I sent in a limerick, which I have to believe would have run. Do you

remember it? I absolutely remember it. I can't wait to hear it. And the fact that it didn't win tells me that either they lost the mail or someone didn't, the right person didn't look at it. Right. What's the limerick? Okay, here's the limerick about Guinness Beer. Across ire, a young traveler set out on a quest to find fortune, no doubt. As he strolled into Ennis, he was pulled a cold Guinness, hence the lad's pot of gold was that stout. You know what? That's good. Yeah, that is good. That's very good.

I spent a long time on it. I hope you didn't spend too long on it, but... Well, I want to know what was better than that. I'd like to know Guinness, in 1996, what was a better limerick than that? to promote your product. I got no acknowledgment. There was an old man for Mantucket who wanted his young friend to suck it.

He said, Guinness, I said, I didn't mean your head. And then the guy kicked the bucket. I just made that up. That's pretty good. And you know what? I spent no time on it. Yeah.

And it's got something dirty in it. So everyone's going to remember it. Yeah, I feel mine is superior. Okay, but the point is, uh, don't, you're still bitter that you lost that Guinness. guy, yes. What was the prize? I believe it was a trip to Ireland. I can't confirm.

Wow, some prize. I don't drink beer myself. My family fled that place. Let's get out of here. There's nothing to eat. You're referring to the potato famine? No. My people fled in 1982.

The line at Burger King was too long. We got to get out of here. Let's get to Brookline Mass. They flew around. Air Lingus. Erlingus, that'd be a funny and a lameric. Also dirty. Hey, listen, I thought you did a good job

with the ad overall. Thanks. This lad? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You did a fine job. We're going to take a little break.

When we return, Jordan and I will have a deep philosophical discussion. Don't touch that dial. All right, I'm going to move on to a next segment. Conan and Jordan discuss a philosophical question. Frank, why don't you tell us what you had in mind here? So we're going to have a segment here called Conan and Jordan have a philosophical discussion. Okay. Jordan, if, and Conan, if time travel were possible, would it be ethical?

Well, I think we would redefine our ethics and morality to suit the emergence of new technology. I can't imagine many circumstances in human history where ethics have stopped the progress of technology. Unfortunately, a lot of times conflicts are just. to develop technology. You look at nuclear technology, both fission and fusion, you know, originally, originally fusion. And then later fission, of course, you're taking two light elements and joining them. And fission, you're taking heavy like a uranium or a plutonium and you're splitting it.

Nevertheless, I can't think of situations where technology never advanced, at least to my knowledge, because of ethics and morality. Can I stop you before you get boring? Oh, wait, I'd need a time machine for that. I'd have to go back nine minutes ago to the start of your death. Blammo! You just got blammoed. My question would be, is sports betting allowed? If sports betting allowed, then definitely, let's have that, let's go back in time.

I could clean up. Then you make a lot of money. Then you go back further in time. When land is really cheap, you go to Long Island, and you say, hey there, 1680 farmer, what do you want for these nine acres on the ocean? These nine acres, why I would wish to have $6. $6, eh? Here's $16.

Well, thank you. Yep, that's what you would do. Would you go backwards or forwards? If you had one shot, You'd go backwards and what would you witness first? If you can only witness... I'd go to Ford's theater and I'd say, hey, Abe, behind you! I'd save Abraham Lincoln's life.

But if you are just an observer and had no ability to change anything and you can witness one event, so you could pick the time and place and you can go back. Would that be it? I mean, just as an intellectual curiosity. I would go back in time. You would go back to the assassination of Lincoln. Would you go back? Because Lincoln, there's no mystery.

I don't want to have just one. I want to see anything. If you had one or two, like, would you go to, like, would you go to, like, like the Kennedy assassination to uncover the mystery, or would you go to something where there's certainty, or would you go back to the Jurassic period and look at a dinosaur? I've seen Jurassic Park, and I think they probably got it right. So what would you see that?

Would it be the Lincoln Association? And I wouldn't go to the Roman times because I saw a gladiator, and I think that's a good. I think most movies have pretty accurately depicted what those times were like. And I think if I go back in time, it's going to look like that only a little dirtier, like people's togas will be dirty.

And I'll be like, ah, this sort of sucks. So I don't want to see that. Yeah. So, nah, I don't want to see that stuff. I really just want to go to Ford's Cedar and go, hey, Abe, heads up! Because you know what? I'll tell you this. Abe Lincoln was 6'4, my height, and a strong backwoodsman.

He would have turned around. Booth was a relatively small guy and an actor. I've interviewed enough of them to know that they're pretty easy to take in a fight. So he would just clean Booth's clock. That would be fun. Abe would just be wailing on Booth. And then it would just turn into another failed assassination attempt, which there are many throughout American and world history. And wouldn't be as consequential as it was today. And in the end, you wouldn't have witnessed a momentous occasion. You would have just witnessed a closer to average occasion.

I would have witnessed the ultimate beatdown. A. Blinken kicks the shit out of some little actor, takes his Derringer away and kicks the shit out of him and then throws him off the balcony. And then all the actors that are starring in the play are American cousins, starring Lerner. Lorikeen, they all start kicking booth. You see, you have me inside you. You know, sometimes you'll give me a straight answer. And you have the facts as well. What you ridicule me for is really a reflection of yourself. Did you just say that I've had you inside me?

You have me inside you now. Stop, don't ever say that again. Don't ever say that again. I don't want you inside me. What you see and you detest me lives inside you. That's why you detest it. Don't ever say that. Don't ever say that again.

Don't ever, ever say I'm inside you again. I'm a part of you. And you're a part of me. I've seen you at your best. I've seen you at your worst. We have an incredibly intimate relationship that you don't acknowledge. If we're inside each other, then it is intimate. And that's hard to do, too.

Think of the geometry of that one. He mentioned where he would go if he could time travel. Jordan. Yeah. Where would you go? Oh, yeah. This is fascinating. This is a legitimate question.

Yeah. You know, gosh, I'm assuming one shot, one chance. I mean, the question is future. a past, right? Because future is like unwritten. Where do you even go? Do you go? Ten years? Do you go? I'm not going to take away future. I'm just going to say past. Oh, past. Yeah. Well, you know, I would want to witness something. I probably like you wouldn't necessarily want to solve any mystery as much as just witness something. I might go back and witness dinosaurs if I could assure my own safety and you'd have to be in the right place at the right time. So you really have to educate yourself.

So we have to talk to the dinosaurs first and say, leave that guy alone over there? I don't want to be killed by a dinosaur. I just want to witness them. Well, it's going to be a problem. If you go back there, you have to take that into account. Yes, I do have to take it into account. There's a good chance. I mean, and I could see you being very irritating to a brontosaurus. I could see a brontosaurus being like, I just fucking hate that guy. It's a brontosaurus. It's not. Saudis, of course, the Latin for lizards. You're just saying, it's not Brantotso. Ketz. Ketlis. What? You're familiar with Ketalquatlus, the flying dinosaur? There was like a 1982 or 1983

horror movie called Q. Q stood for Ketzelquatless or they called it Ketzel Kvadoatl. But the actual scientific name is Ketzelkotlis. Ketso Kuttle was a Mexican god,

I believe. You know the 1980s. Just talk over me. That's fine. No. Ketal Kutal, if he was a Mexican god, he must have been named after Ketzel Qatless.

Say how you pronounce Bronosaurus again. Rontu Saurus. Okay. You need to be hit. I'm not going to say with steel rods, because that's,

but with a denser wood. like a wood, but it's a dense wood, like a mahogany. You need to be hit with mahogany. Okay. Because no one says that. Even a Brontosaurus, if it just heard that, would put both of its giant paws in front of its eyes and just be like, oh, my God, what a dick. No, it's not, how do you say teradactyl? Terradactyl.

Why do you say these things like Dracula? I'm just looking at the root of the word. I understand that these words have Latin roots. And I look at the root of the word and I use it properly. I'm not one of those people that says alum or haphazardly throws out the word alumni improperly. What do you say? Well, if I'm talking about a man, it's alumnus. And if I'm talking about, okay, we'll see what you're going to a man.

You got an alumnus. A woman is an alumna, right? Two men or a mixed group is like alumni. And two women or multiple women is alumni. And the word alum is not based in any reality. Conventional wisdom says now if you're using it to express gens or neutrality, in a modern way, that's fine. But you have to know all the rules before you break them.

That's what Air Supply said and making love that and nothing at all. I know all the rules. Written by Jim Steinman, who of course was an author, famous songwriter, he would act through his muses. He couldn't sing himself Jim Stein. So we got meatloaf. He got Celine Dion. He even got Air Supply, who I believe Max Weinberg played with Air Supply in 1986.

Give me a favor. Go back. Making love that and nothing. Go visit the dinosaurs. That's my request. Go back and visit the dinosaurs and just sort of stand around and see what happens. Okay? And if you get stomped or crushed, that's just what happens.

You're an alumnus of Harvard University, okay? No, I'm an alumnus of Harvard University. Are we going to say it correctly or not? I don't know what that was. Alvander University. If you're going to say it, just say it. You know, you gave a great speech at Dartmouth College? Nope.

I gave a great speech. It draught, mewth, Kalish. And you may remember the success of your speech, but I remember some of the events that happened surrounding that. There were dinners with me when I gave me. Yes, there were dinners with alumni of that school who have gone on to achieve greatness,

captains of industry, CEOs of major company, who I hold on customer service with for 45 minutes, were coming up and giving me their business card. And all these people respected and revered you. They wanted to talk to you. They wanted to meet you. Because absent the ability to intimately know somebody, people use certain classicative data to assess you as a person.

They know what your education is. They know some of the facts that you know. I know you on an intimate level. I know what they don't know. So while these captains of industry were coming up and respecting you and talking to you, and they had their Tweed jackets and you probably had some Tweed jacket as well because that's the role you play when you go to an Ivy League school. I also had a falcon on my shoulder. Yeah.

So they're coming up. talking to, I know the real you. I know that you're eating hot dogs. You're eating big max in your spare time. And then you get all dressed up and cleaned up and you talk intelligently to these academics. But I know the real you behind the curtain. That's all I'm saying. Well, if an animal is someone who eats fast food, then call me an animal and call most Americans an animal. I love the United States of America. I really do love this country. And for you to attack it that way, I think, is not just scandalous, but treasonous. You're thinking in your head, as they're talking to, you're thinking, yes, they respect me.

Yes, I am respectable and sophisticated. And then you go home and you shove your face with your crackers or what, your crackers of different seed oils or or, or industrial oil, soybean oil. The wheels just came off the troll. The wheels just came off the trial. No, I mean, lady crackers and you're eating rits. You're spiraling. In your hotel room at Dartmouth after. weeping in the cornering your tidy whitties.

AI, I just gave this speech. These people respect me. I'm an academic. I'm wearing this tweet jacket. I know you're an animal. You're whimpering in the corner eating it here. We're ending it here. You know, you've had a complete breakdown today.

And I can tell always because you get a fiendish look on your eyes, your eyes arch up. You start to smile. That's my face. That's the face I have. No, no, no, no, no. You're talking about my physical condition. You, uh, and then you lost your mind. You started spiraling on the word cracker.

and you lost it. You flamed out. And now a bunch of men are rushing up to you and pouring foam over you so that you don't burn to death. Jordan, this was a great episode. It was a great episode because you came out of the gate hot

and then you ended up in this spectacular explosion. I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for anyone who's in your life. But I also love you. And when I say I love you, I'm lying. That's just not true. Anyway, this has been episode

of the Conan and Jordan show. I think one of the most fascinating shows in the history of any medium. It's unrehearsed. We never know what we're going to talk about. And we just play with this spinning top that is Jordan Slansky.

Medium comes from the Latin medium, singular. Media or media being the poet.
