Starting point is 00:00:00 Give a little time for the child within you. Don't be afraid to be young and free. Undo the locks and throw away the keys and take off your shoes and socks and run you. It's Jordan Jesse Goh. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. I'm Jordan Morris, boy detective. Hey, how about this? Thank you to the more than 5,700 people who supported Jordan Jesse Goh and all the shows of Maximum Fun in the MaxFunDrive. Truly amazing stuff. Thank you to everyone.
Starting point is 00:00:28 You heard highlights from our grand finale show last week on the podcast. You can also watch the whole thing now on YouTube. Okay. The Maximum Fun channel. Now, is this including when I pulled out my ball? Now, Jordan. I didn't watch the. I mean, you said they were highlights
Starting point is 00:00:45 jordan you and i are friends right sure do friends let friends put their balls on the internet for everyone to see forever yes thanks man i appreciate it thank you thank you and thank you for the the digital enhancement i went through just so people know my balls aren't that big that's a little Hollywood magic. Right. And they're not that purple either. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Again, Hollywood magic. I wanted to give your balls a swollen, distended look. Thank you. Just like I like. Yeah, sure. Thank you. I mean... Well, not just how you like.
Starting point is 00:01:20 How ladies like. Sure. Yeah. Ladies like a tender... Hey, let's not forget the fellas. Yeah, absolutely. Why are we leaving the fellas out of this one? They like it.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I ain't leaving nobody out. And you know what? Can I say this, Jordan? Yeah. Gender's not a binary. It's a spectrum. That's right. No matter where you are on the spectrum.
Starting point is 00:01:39 So take a look at Jordan's purple, swollen testicle. Discolored, oozing. I did add a little bit of ooze. I did not specifically ask for that. I green screened in some Nickelodeon gack. It's just like my balls were at the Kids' Choice Awards. Jordan, I familiarized myself with video editing, including video file conversion. This whole thing was a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah. But in the end, I managed to convert it to an editable format and cover up your ball with a picture of the two of us from this year's portrait studio in Capitola, California, circa 2002. Oh, terrific. Yeah. So everything is under control. No one will see your ball but the people who saw it live on the live stream. And let's not forget my lovely wife. And your beautiful wife, Marjorie.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah. I love you, Marjorie. I'll be home soon to show you my balls. While we're taking care of business, I want to take care of two pieces of business. Number one, the big show. Going poo-poo in the potty. We have a big show coming up, Jordan. We do.
Starting point is 00:02:50 We have a live show in Santa Cruz, California, April 24th at the Kumbwa Jazz Center. That's K-U-U-M-B-W-A. For those of you who either want to Google it or are sexually aroused by hippiness. So I'll be playing the vibes, you'll be playing the turbo flute. Exactly. There will be no humorous
Starting point is 00:03:16 banter. Hey Jordan, can I tell you what? Ever since I got married, I've been playing a lot more turbo flute. Oh boy. We have special guests on that program as well. Are we going to say about them or is it a surprise? I'm going to say. Oh, boy. We have special guests on that program as well. Are we going to say about them, or is it a surprise? I'm going to say. Say about them.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yeah. John Vanderslice. Oh. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. From the world of thoughtful rock music? Exactly. Legendarily nice indie rock celebrity John Vanderslice will be joining us. Here's how it works with John Vanderslice.
Starting point is 00:03:43 You're doing something around the Bay Area. You think, who's a celebrity in the Bay Area? Of course, you're going to think John Vanderslice. You're doing something around the Bay Area. You think, who's a celebrity in the Bay Area? Of course, you're going to think John Vanderslice. Send him an email. Do you want to come to this thing? And he sends you an email back, capital letters, absolutely, because he's the nicest guy in show business. A glimpse behind the curtain.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah, that's how it works. Jim Rayall, the master of Would You Rather, will be joining us in Santa Cruz. Man, how'd we book him? Well, he's a friend of ours. He's a friend of ours from college, Jordan. And he's got a car, and maybe we'll slide him some gas money. Nice.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Buy him a drink when he's there. He's excited to see us. And I think the audience will be excited to see us play Would You Rather with the master of Would You Rather, Jim Royale. I mean, yeah, you haven't really seen Would You Rather until you've seen it live. It's like a Dave Matthews band concert in that way. Jordan.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Like you kind of get it, but you don't like get it. You don't see how we fucking jam on those Would You Rathers. Do you feel like you're ready for a piece de resistance? Yes. UC Santa Cruz's only all-female a cappella group, the High Tones, will be joining us. Hot damn. Yep. The High T, will be joining us. Hot damn. Yep. The High Tones will be joining us.

Starting point is 00:06:27 get wasted and come back. See how you do. Kill yourself, everyone. Roll the dice. Roll the dice. Stay in Capitola by the sea. Live life a quarter mile at a time. We're going to be staying. If I learned anything from the Fast and Furious franchise. And I've learned a lot from the Fast and Furious franchise. Let's introduce
Starting point is 00:06:45 our guest on this week's program. He's a beloved regular on Jordan Jessigo. He's a brilliant stand-up comedian. He's the star of the new reimagining of the Tom Cruise film Cocktail. Please welcome Mr. Chris Fairbanks.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for having me. What's the name of your reimagining of Cocktails? Cocktails and Dreams. Cocktails and Dreams. It's great. Have you watched this yet, Dre? I have watched it. Chris, can you explain this thing, this weird thing to the audience who hasn't seen it?
Starting point is 00:07:15 Well, we first did it with an episode of Dragnet last year. I am basically superimposed, force-gumped, if you will, into existing footage from the movie. So this is a gump job? It is a bit of a gump job. Okay. Yeah. Standard gump job. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:32 And if you've been to the Santa Monica Pier, you know what that is. Would you say you got gumped? Who hasn't? Would you say that you got gumped? Don't get me started on my favorite and varieties of shrimp. List them. List them now. That's a long boring list.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Maybe we should do that movie next. Anyway, put me into these. Put you into Forrest Gump now. Fun. Oh, so it's Forrest Gump. Yes. Green screened in with Kennedy and you green screened in with Gump. But what Mike Upchurch, the guy that, that, it's actually a pretty good idea.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yeah. It's like holding a mirror up to. Our producer Brian is outside the booth. He's literally about to die of asphyxiation because he enjoyed the idea of Chris Fairbanks inserted digitally into Forrest Gump so much. He may be hurt. I might use that idea if you don't mind, Jordan.
Starting point is 00:08:22 That's fine. Can I have you sign something? Sure, I will sign. I will take a fraction of your web video riches. You know, the riches that come with making web video. You mean those things that keep rolling in? Yeah. All week?
Starting point is 00:08:35 I want some of those. It's been up about a week. Anyway, we take footage. We re-edited, changed the story to be a little more too many cooks-y. And then, yeah, and put it on the internet. A little more Fairbanksian. Yeah. It's been, yes.
Starting point is 00:08:50 A lot of people see that movie as a Tom Cruise movie, but you really brought out the Fairbanksishness in it. Yeah. A lot of people for years knew that's what it was missing, but they didn't know who I was yet. Right. They were just saying that. And granted, they still don't know who you are technically. A lot of people still don't know who I am, and I'm glad you brought that up. Right. They were just saying that. And granted, they still don't know who you are technically. A lot of people still don't know who I am and I'm glad you brought that up. Sure.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I mean, we got fans of Jordan Jesse Go, fans of stand-up comedy Club Dates. Yes, yes. We got fans of that reality show parody show that you were on on Comedy Central. Yes, yes. Fans of Fuel TV. Right. You're in all of Canada. In all of Canada.
Starting point is 00:09:25 That's something you guys wouldn't know because you don't go up north to the white north. He's a major celebrity. All of Canada. Oh, man. They have me on there? It's because you're so – they love you because you're so polite. You've got a Canadian politeness about you. As Arj Barker is to Australia, so Chris Fairbanks is to the great white north.
Starting point is 00:09:42 At least Calgary. Bare minimum Calgary and that giant mall in Calgary. Unless that's in Edmonton. That is in Edmonton. I didn't know we'd be playing trivia. There are live dolphins in that mall. Guess the Commonwealth. One time we were at Just for Laughs.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I'm just dropping one of the bigger festivals I did in the early part of my career. JFL? JFL, yeah, yeah. Not to be confused with the airport in New York. Wait, wait. JSA? That's the Justice Society of America.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I'm sorry. Or JSA, the Junior State of America. Or JBL, the Junior Baseball League. Yeah. Uh-huh. I could have thought of a better one, but I didn't. This has been a fun run, guys. That's how comedy is.
Starting point is 00:10:27 In conclusion. Yeah. No, you're back to the junior state of America. But my friend said, we were in Montreal. And he goes, which providence are we in? And I said, Rhode Island. And he said, isn't that in America? And it was just a real exchange.
Starting point is 00:10:45 And maybe the way I said it without inflection, it didn't register. So I'll redo it. Right. What providence are we in? And I said, Rhode Island. I thought that was in America. Okay. Now it's better.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I get it. I get it now. Thank you. You sold it that time. Yeah. Yeah. The first time I just put it out there on the sidewalk with a free sign on it. Chris.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Can we hear it one more time, but sexy? Hey, fellas, which providence are we in? Don't you mean? I mean Rhode Island. What I like about that one is that you addressed multiple fellas, which leads me to believe, after that hilarious joke, gangbang. Yeah, yeah. That version was very, very, you know, Jodie Foster-y. I don't like to make reference to that movie or light of what happened to her character in that movie. So I'm going to retract what I just said because I'm sensitive.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Thank you, Chris. You're welcome. Sensitive fella. That's why they love you so much in Canada. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, guys. I got a drone.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Tell us about this drone. I got it for free in the mail. I thought it was some kind of head shaving machine because it came with a logo of a popular head shaving machine. Yeah. I'm not going to say what it is, but I will just say this is probably the best drone a man can get. This drone, the best a man can get. This drone, the best a man can get. And I genuinely, I had left it on the shelf in the bathroom in the office for a month. This was swag.
Starting point is 00:12:36 It came in the mail. Okay. Unexpectedly. Right. I didn't order it or request it. It came with the return address of a popular shaving machine company, which we will not mention. Now, this was not
Starting point is 00:12:50 a clout perk, because the clout perk was how I got my ball shaver of choice. The only clout perk I've ever gotten is just a chance to see something on Hulu a day early. That's not a perk. No. No one wants to watch any Hulu original.
Starting point is 00:13:06 That's a punishment, if anything. For your consideration, they just send you a URL of a new Hulu episode. So I assumed that it was just, I assumed it was that situation. Sure.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I assumed it was like a, we'll give you the handle, you have to buy the blades type deal. Sure. And so I just left it in the office bathroom in case I ever was like going out after work
Starting point is 00:13:27 and needed to shower and shave or something like that. And I left it in its packaging. And one day Colin, our senior producer, came up to me and said, Jesse, what's that drone doing in the bathroom? And photographing your dumps. I took it out of the box. At the time there was no Windows phone software, so I put it back in the box. But now I have a different style of popular telephone that is compatible with my drone.
Starting point is 00:13:56 And I learned how to fly it this afternoon while I was waiting for you guys to come here. So when you say drone, of course you're talking about a large – it has to be six or seven feet. It's matte black and it's worth thousands of dollars, right? That's what a drone is. Oh, absolutely not. No, this is about 40 feet long. I control it from a bunker in Indiana. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:18 And it has an incredible bomb payload. I use it to murder foreigners. Well, then you are talking about a drone then I have to get a sign off from the Secretary of State Jesse I saw the drone on your desk I know of its actual size It's about the size of a drone Yeah we were setting you up Jesse to tell the truth
Starting point is 00:14:38 But apparently you failed our test It's the size of a desert spider Can I ask you guys a favor? Can you not tell the Secretary of State? That you were inferring that you guys were close friends when in fact you're just acquaintances? Well, I'm trying to become friends with him, but I feel like this would really torpedo my chances. Yeah, well, I mean, absolutely. If he knows you're out there, you know, lying about him on unpopular podcasts.
Starting point is 00:15:03 He probably does. I mean, you got to figure if 100,000 people work on the State Department, there might be one that listens to Jordan Jesse Go. Could be. Statistically, they have to. I would guess no. But yeah, I mean, it's stranger things have happened. I mean, what do you figure?
Starting point is 00:15:18 There's 100,000 people in the State Department. Yeah. That means there's 25,000 serial listeners. Yeah. 18,000 Corolla there's 25,000 serial listeners. Yeah. 18,000 Corolla listeners. 10,000 gay guys. One in ten, right? We're just doing demographics?
Starting point is 00:15:33 Oh, yeah, sure. I thought we were doing podcast listenership, but we're doing demographics. Sure. Yeah. What about 12,000 African Americans?
Starting point is 00:15:41 Mm-hmm. Got more people than I'd like living below the poverty line. Sure. Oh, don't get me started. Don't get me started. Very brave. Very brave.
Starting point is 00:15:51 More income inequality. Yeah. 1% Occupy Wall Street. 99. Guy Fawkes mask. Thank you. So brave. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:15:58 So brave. Pacifica Radio. Yeah. Sometimes I- Speak it out. I let ways drive me through Compton sometimes. Wow. Yeah. Sometimes I Speak it out. I let ways drive me through Compton sometimes. Wow. Yeah. It says would you like to skip Compton? And you're like, no.
Starting point is 00:16:10 No. I'm brave. I'll take it. Yeah. I know it is exact. Compassionate. Sure. I think is the word I would use for Chris. But also you're going to Hollywood Park to build the ponies. And it's also daytime. Yeah. So I do think that's a fair point, though. That with this machine, which, by the way, I'm kind of wondering if we should take this on the boat.
Starting point is 00:16:35 It seems like it might be we're going to buy a boat on Craigslist, Chris, just so you know. Is this boat as to a boat as we know it as that remote control helicopter is to an actual drone? Because that's what we're talking about. A tiny remote control helicopter. That an actual drone because that's what we're talking about, a tiny remote control helicopter. That's the thing. I do think that – I think that somehow the media, by which I mean the MSM, the mainstream media. Sure.
Starting point is 00:16:58 They really sold us a bill of goods. Wait. You're not talking about blogs, right? No. Oh, good. No. I'm talking about the MSM. And I think they really sold us a bill of goods.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I just think that there's pieces of the 9-11 story that don't add up. Sure. You know what I mean? How could those fireballs burn hot enough to take down those buildings? Hashtag loose change. Sure. So, no. I think that there is something to be said for conflating drone and remote control toy.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Remote control toy helicopter. Like drone is a word that got its power from murderous military machines. Yes. It's like if you called matchbox cars tanks. Right. Or the point, yeah, I was trying to say, are you getting a real boat or a Matchbox car version of a boat? That's what I was trying to say earlier. But, you know, you both know I have trouble with my words.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Yeah, that's why you became a professional speaker. Do you mean a Matchbox car boat? Shit. Yeah, no one's getting killed. It's not drone if you're charging it in your USB port. Yeah. Although we don't know how they – do you think that the real – the military drones, they charge those with a lightning cable? One time some guy contacted me because if you just Google the word storyboards my a drawing i did for a commercial that already existed so i storyboarded after the fact just to try and break into that
Starting point is 00:18:30 world and for some reason my storyboards still come up on that first page of you it's just it's a link to my website anyway this guy contacted me out of savannah georgia and he was designing some mobile launch mechanism for like it it's in a series of backpacks. You open the backpacks. You bring them all together, and I storyboarded this process with hands plugging into cables. With a series of plug-ins, you launch a missile, and so I had to show all these hands. I'm not even supposed to talk about this, you guys. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:01 At the end of it, he requested I take the drawings and shred them and take pictures of me shredding them. And I said, what about the scanned JPEGs that I emailed you? Sure, that he emailed you through Hotmail. He said, it's okay, I just have to show you destroying something. Wow. So after I did these drawings, a storyboard of this launch,
Starting point is 00:19:20 it's hands, drawings of hands, and it was pages of it. You can see it on my website. Can I ask you a question? You can. Yeah, can we still see the shredding, those hot shred pics? I just have the pictures on my website. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Someone's going to kill me. Can I ask you a question about that guy? Uh-huh. Did he give you his name? He was very sweet. He worked for a, I do not recall his name. This was a few years ago. Did he live in Libya at all?
Starting point is 00:19:45 Oh. Were his initials, you don't do not recall his name. This was a few years ago. Did he live in Libya at all? Oh. Were his initials – you don't have to give his name, but were his initials O-V-L? I thought that didn't sound like a southern accent at all. Yeah. I had trouble understanding him. And he did – I do remember he had a weird way of ending our phone calls with – I'd say goodbye and he'd say death to America. And I always thought that was a weird – You thought it was like, oh, the connection is weird.
Starting point is 00:20:12 That was a weird – come again? Maybe he's got T-Mobile. Yes, we will come again. It was always weird who's on first step conversations and I realize now I aided a terror man. A man riddled with the emotion of terror. I aided a terror man, a man riddled with the emotion of terror. I would enjoy it, Jordan, if you got one of the second tier cellular providers. Let's say you had Metro PCS. Cricket, perhaps.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Boost Mobile. Sure. You got Boost Mobile. Instead of the connection becoming staticky or dropping in and out, it just became more and more difficult to decipher the accent. Like if you've got, look, if you have AT&T. Hey, it's your mama. It's me, your mama. But you're like in downtown Los Angeles or San Francisco,
Starting point is 00:20:55 somewhere with a lot of big buildings, maybe it starts to sound like Hugh Grant, right? Yeah. But then if you have cricket wireless and it starts to drop out a little bit, it becomes Welsh. Right. I think with Boost Mobile it would be a reggae guy. Okay, I'll see you later. And I'll be saying, bro, Haile Selassie!
Starting point is 00:21:18 Haile Selassie! Dancehall wireless is going to be our ticket to... You sounded weird at the end of our phone call. Yeah, it's my plan. Anyway, praise Zion. And any lion. Sure. I have really hard time getting reception, Pondy River or Pondy Barn. Time to have sex!
Starting point is 00:21:49 Anyway, I shot the sheriff. What about the deputy? Unclear. Someone else, someone else. Grassy Noel. Grassy Noel. Second shooter. Could have been me. I was doing a lot of shooting. Back then. I was doing a lot of random shooting. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan and Jessica.

Starting point is 00:23:29 Wait a minute. Do you guys have a better chair? My hip hurts. I'm sorry, Chris. It's all right. I think it's sciatica. Can I sell you some insurance? Tendonitis.
Starting point is 00:23:42 As long as it's insurance that covers these swollen ankles. Look at those guys. Chris, I've got a line on a painless catheter. Oh. Is it reusable? Oh, yeah. Oh, I am in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 I am in. You can use it on you and then on a friend. Nobody loves catheterization like Chris Fairbanks. By the way, that was my Chris Fairbanks impression. That was my impression of Chris Fairbanks using my voice trying to say the word catheterization, like Chris Fairbanks. By the way, that was my Chris Fairbanks impression. That was my impression of Chris Fairbanks using my voice, trying to say the word catheterization. It was spot on. I thought it was me in you. You can't spell catheter without Chris.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Can you? No. Some people have trouble with the name Kathy, though. Yeah, that's true. Jordan, how are you doing, buddy? I'm doing well. I've had the week off. It's my first week off in some time.
Starting point is 00:24:31 And you're a hard worker. Sure. You go out there at midnight. You're a slave in at the grindstone. Yeah, and then I go right out to a field. Yeah. And then just work in that. Tilling.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Tilling. Shucking. Gin milling. Jiving. Basically the three things. I till, I shuck, and I jive. This is just whatever kind of field. I'm not like, I don't discriminate.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Any kind of, anywhere they need me, I'll be there. Is that why I saw you briefly during the telecast of the Dodgers game? Yeah. Just out there. Yeah, just, you know, making sure the AstroTurf is up to code. Gotcha. You don't want our boys to slip. No, sir.
Starting point is 00:25:09 When they're going out for a long fly ball. You got it. I mean, faulty turf. Yeah. You're going to eat it. Sure. You're going to, I mean, we don't need all this. No.
Starting point is 00:25:20 All this soil talk. No. No. But, yeah, it's been weird. It's been a weird combination of like you know relaxing and then but also like remembering when i was like when i like didn't have a job and was like kind of bummed out and like it's been a kind of a flip-flop between enjoying the relaxation and then remembering myself at my worst.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Are you a good relaxer? I am to a point. I'm good for about three hours of relaxation. I know you well enough to say that you aren't. Yeah. And I'm not trying to slight you. No, I would love to hear your take on it. I see you in me.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Sure. In that I also have trouble sitting in a chair and reading a book without my legs starting to jiggle and me looking out the window. Oh, if you're asking if I'm fidgety, oh, yeah. Yes, fidgety. Oh, yeah. Yes, yes. I'll fidget. Can one be fidgety and also relax well? That's the question of the day.
Starting point is 00:26:18 I mean, but I think it's relaxing that I can openly fidget. Right. Oh. I can just sit in my house and do a little bit. Yeah. Oh, sit and be fit? Sure. Oh. I can just sit in my house and, you know, do a little bit. Yeah. Oh, sit and be fit? Sure. Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Got a koosh ball in there. You're just pulling on a little koosh. Pulling on the koosh. Pulling on them kooshies. Chewing on a straw. All kinds of fun stuff. Whittling?
Starting point is 00:26:35 Yeah. Whittling. Mm-hmm. But yeah, it's been nice. It'd be great if you started whittling. That would be cool. But I think it would be dangerous.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I think I would have lots of early mistakes. Yes, I would be making a But I think it would be dangerous. I think I would have lots of early mistakes. Yes, I would be making a lot of shanks. Look at this workable flute. Jordan, that looks like a sharpened toothbrush. And why do you keep your flutes under your pillow? You never know who's going to come for your flutes in the night. Bunch of deviant leprechauns.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Don't touch my night flutes. I've been working on them. Working on my night flutes i've been working on them working on my night flutes love that song um so yeah but i think i've been doing a pretty good job jordan wrote the song working on his night flutes when he was about 12 or 13 working on the night flutes but i it's funny we did uh we did an episode of uh of chris's podcast on the way over here. Do you need a ride? Because I don't think people should be together for extended periods of time and not podcast. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Together. Yeah, exactly. I think if you're together. After a while, as people that just hang out, you run out of things to do. Sure. Eventually, it's going to lead to doing each other's podcasts. Yeah. But yeah, I've been enjoying some lunchtime masturbation, which has been great.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Do you still take five to six lunches a day? Oh, yeah, I do. I take a lot of lunches. I wanted to do that. A lot of very short lunches. Very excited to do that joke. I kind of thought you guys would just start slamming the walls. Slapping, slamming.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Never mind. Then later on, after lunch, he practices night fliers. So that's been a lot of fun. You have a studio down by the bucket pool. What does Jordan Morris do to relax? I like to, you know, pick up the cat carrier from room to room. Can I tell you? Show her the various rooms in the house.
Starting point is 00:28:23 My dog, Coco, had surgery a few weeks ago. Oh, my gosh. And she had a ligament tear repaired. And she is not allowed. Because she runs track now. She does, yeah. Yeah. She's actually the backup quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Oh. Yeah. Boy, they've got some wild fans over there, huh? They've got some wild fans in Philly. It was part of the whole Michael Vick situation. Oh. There was a mix-up at one of the dog fights? Well, just as penance.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Yeah. When you sign Michael Vick, which I think the Eagles did at some point. Yes, yes, yes, indeed. Okay, thank you. Yes, yes. When you sign Michael Vick, they also had to sign a dog. Oh. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:03 There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play football. I'm Christopher Lloyd. I assume that's who says the line in the dog football movie. A dog is not allowed to run or jump for six weeks. How do you communicate that to a dog? You just- Bind them? We have a special bond.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Okay. You sedate the dog. Sure, okay. And you keep it in a baby playpen, which is what we've been doing. Now, my dog is so... Like, they gave us these sedatives. They said one quarter to one pill.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Do you do a little, hey, Coco, one for you, one for me. Yeah. One for you, one for daddy. Ooh, I love taking those dogs. Oh, yeah. At the club. Hey, want to try one of these woof tranks?
Starting point is 00:29:57 Want a man's best friend? Yeah. So the tranquilizers. That would be funny if you tried to take one of those just to get fucked up and you turned into a dog. That's a real Sylvester in the Magic Pebbles situation. Sure. Just the premise of a totally acceptable 80s movie, too. It's amazing what they got away with. Yeah. Judge Reinhold is the star of that.
Starting point is 00:30:22 What just happened? And then there was an explosion. Anyway, I play basketball now. For some reason. And say a lot of casual gay slurs. It was a different time. I mean, you've met my dog, Jordan. It's a busy dog.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah. It's a very – She's a busy girl. It's this Coco, right? It is Coco. Okay, yeah. But very high energy. Neither of them is particularly chill.
Starting point is 00:30:41 No. And Coco, we started on a quarter. It did nothing. So we went up to one, and that was still doing nothing. And they gave us special permission to go up to one and a half, which does almost nothing, is how I would characterize it. You have to be careful judging based on the animal's even blood type. Did you get a blood test? And they said, yes, you can sedate this dog.
Starting point is 00:31:01 We checked the blood type. It's O negative. And actually, we did some, we ran, we had some Japanese baseball fans tell us what that meant for her slugging.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Mm-hmm. Japanese baseball fans are into blood types. Oh, yeah. But the great, so the challenge of it is that Coco wants to run around
Starting point is 00:31:19 and do stuff and jump up and down and bark at the mailman and bark at every other goddamn thing in the world. And that's hard. Yes. But the fun part is and jump up and down and bark at the mailman and bark at every other goddamn thing in the world. And that's hard.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Yes. But the fun part is that I get to pick her up every time she has to go outside to go to the bathroom. So I get to pick her up and cuddle her on the way there and on the way back. Yeah, that's a lot of fun. And it is really fun. Picking up a pet is fun. Do you kind of try and squeeze the pee out of her?
Starting point is 00:31:40 Yeah, sort of like a grapefruit. Oh, yeah. Do you guys ever grab your dog or cat and put its ear in your mouth and bite on it? Not with your teeth, but with your lips. Yeah. Protect. And just press as hard as possible
Starting point is 00:31:53 and you feel the cool sensation of that ear that's been out in the air all day. Yeah, it's intimate. And just press on it. You get to feel the wild spirit that flows through them. Sure. I get on my hands and knees. Something primal that we've lost. Right. You get to feel the wild spirit that flows through them. Sure. I get on my hands and knees. Something primal that we've lost.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Right. I get on my hands and knees a lot and stick my nose into my dog's fur to sniff it. Oh, isn't that? Which area? That's really nice. My dog, in the inner dog vagina. Okay. That's what I thought. That's why it's going out.
Starting point is 00:32:21 That's the only part of a dog I'm allergic to. That's what they call man's best friend, right? Upper back. Upper back where the hair is longest. Yeah. My dog, one of my dogs smells lousy like a dog. Sissy does not smell that good. But Coco actually smells kind of nice.
Starting point is 00:32:35 What's Coco smell like? I hope. Coco. Coco Chanel. Like popcorn. Oh, wow. That's amazing. Yeah, it's really nice.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Sissy has a little bit more of an acrid pee type smell. Do you wash Coco in butter? Yes, we do. Coco butter. Yeah, it's really nice. Sissy has a little bit more of an acrid pee type smell. Do you wash cocoa in butter? Yes, we do. Cocoa butter. Yes, yes, of course. That's what you'd have to call it. It'd be weird to call it something else. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:32:54 It makes me feel... I can't believe it's not cocoa butter. It makes you feel... You just rub an oily margarine on the dog. Just butter? Yeah, almost. It does make me feel bad for people with pets that they can't pick up.
Starting point is 00:33:07 What a bummer. You'll notice on my arm, I've got some arm scratchies here. Oh, look at that. You do have some arm scratchies. Did you guys have an argument? This happened was I was carrying the cat from room to room and I just, I dropped her.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Straight up dropped her and she tried to cling on the way down. How did you drop her? Just, it's like one of those things where you're walking and you trip. You just do something for no reason because your body momentarily gives up. And this isn't a roast of Jordan,
Starting point is 00:33:37 but not only is he fidgety, he's sort of clumsy. A little clumsy, sure. Yeah, I've seen him. All right, next thing you know you're going to get into the big penis material. All right, let me have it, fellas. Let me have it.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I'm a good sport. Yeah, I spill a lot of drinks. I'll just drop something. I think I do that more than most. I think I just am holding something and then it falls to the ground. I don't mean to make light of your health, but is it possible that you're suffering from multiple sclerosis? It could just be my penis gets in the way. Or ALS.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I thought we weren't going to roast your penis. No, guys. Let me have it. I know you've prepared all these big schlong jokes. This is going to be a Hawaiian-style luau penis roast. I could have put an apple in my penis. Wearing it in the dirt. With a hog leg.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Oh, no. I hate this. And then another tiny apple in your Eurishma mouth. Yuck. Gross. I made it horrible. And my coworkers noticed these arm scratchies. And they're like, you know, are you okay?
Starting point is 00:34:36 Have you been going to Hot Topic again? Yeah. And I said, I just dropped my cat. And they're like, what were you doing with her? I'm like, well, nothing. I was just carrying her from room to room. And then Matt Myra, former guest on the show, my current co-worker, just looks at me and he's like, what's your life like? She's like, I guess it is odd that I do spend time.
Starting point is 00:34:59 And I don't have a huge place. You got a nice bachelor apartment. I don't like that. I don't like that people are judgy about loving cats the same way you can love a dog. There's so many people that are exclusively like dog people and then they make fun of you for loving a cat.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I don't think this is a dog person situation. I think this is just a general You got hate-crimed by some dog lover. You know what? I'm sick and tired of Matt Myra of the Nerdist podcast. That's right. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Being too cool for school. Very brave. There's one phrase I could use to describe Matt Myra. It's too cool for school. He's just another one of these people that is addicted to the unconditional love of a dog. I don't think he owns a dog. For the record, I don't think he owns a dog. He's a dog lover.
Starting point is 00:35:40 of a dog. I don't think he owns a dog. For the record, I don't think he owns a dog. He's a dog lover. This guy with his love of cocaine and electroclash music and Williamsburg
Starting point is 00:35:49 circa 2003. Sure. God, you know what? This Vice magazine motherfucker with his contemptuous These are all applicable. skinny pants. Sure.
Starting point is 00:36:01 And inability to earn the love of a cat. He's a monster. Sorry you have to earn it, everybody a cat. He's a monster. Sorry you have to earn it, everybody. Yeah. That's what Jordan's doing. I guess you just want your money for free, too. You know what that sounds like?
Starting point is 00:36:14 Stealing. Sorry, I'm not a stealer. Do you find video games relaxing, Jordan? I do find video games relaxing. That's a nice zone for me to be in. What kind of video game are we talking about? Lately I've been playing Far Cry 4. What happens in that?
Starting point is 00:36:27 This is a game where you are in a Himalayan village. Pretty chill so far. Very chill. You walk around. You can even take bong rips in it too. No way. There's bong rips in this game? Oh yeah. You can take mad bong rips. Are there any fatty bong rips? Yeah. Also, I'm going to counter with another question.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Are there any other kind? Right. Yeah. Now what I'm pulling. And there's a rebel uprising going on in this Himalayan village. Oh, see, now that's not that chill. No, it's not. I mean, there are parts of it that are downright unchill. Who's rising up?
Starting point is 00:36:57 The Yetis or is it an uprising against the Yetis? Well, the Yetis are downloadable content. Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I have not beaten the original campaign. Okay. It's a fairly long game. I don't know if when I'm done I'll want to play more levels that have Yetis. Maybe I will.
Starting point is 00:37:11 I'm having a lot of fun with it. Can I give you some advice? Sure. I bought a downloadable content for Skyrim. Your guy's too powerful. He's got too good of archery. Sure. It's going to be kind of boring because you can just kill the dragons using your super good archery.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Yeah. So I don't recommend you buy this Yeti thing because your archery is going to be too good. There is archery in this game, and you can level it up. So this is applicable. Yeah. You can tell by maybe – I can buy a little scope on my crossbow now so I can aim better. With a laser on it?
Starting point is 00:37:38 You can buy a lasered one. I went for another kind of scope because it's a little easier for me to aim. It's a preference thing. It's like cats and dogs. I'm not going to, like, judge you if you want a laser scope. But just don't make fun of me for buying a manual scope. Jordan has special needs because he's aiming around his hog. I have to aim around.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Guys, come on. Oh, boy. I'm getting what I signed up for. I knew it was going to get this brutal when I signed up for this When I say he's clumsy it's usually he's tripping over his dick Where's your hand Jesse? Come on! Oh no! I am roasted
Starting point is 00:38:12 Thoroughly roasted Hashtag the slap Is this Boston Market? Hashtag the slap The NBC miniseries You're supposed to write that when you high five your friend Hashtag the slap I did like that I'm glad sure. The NBC miniseries. You're supposed to write that when you high-five your friend. Oh, yeah. Like the same way you hit Chris. Oh, you hear that?
Starting point is 00:38:26 Hashtag the slap. I did like that. I'm glad we redid it the first one. I'm glad we're building some buzz for what's really a great show. Yeah, it really is. Everything I've heard about that show has been positive. I've definitely heard nothing bad about it. I am so impressed that anyone can be relaxed by video games. Yeah. For me, I feel like I go into the same state playing video games that I do reading a novel. Well, it goes along the lines.
Starting point is 00:38:51 It's just this kind of – it washes over me. Now, sometimes when it's particularly hard, I'll get a little ganked up. But for the most part, it's kind of a – it's a zen. It's a – yeah. My biggest problem with video games is if I get a video game that I don't like, it's boring. If I get a video game that I do like, I like lock into it, but my intensity is such. Sure. That like, I, I like tense every muscle in my body, all of my eyes.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I start to like blur and then I give myself a migraine. That happened to me when I had the Marvel Friends game that you gave me. And it happened to me with Skyrim, even though Skyrim may literally be the chillest video game ever. Yeah, yeah. Skyrim is mostly just walking in a valley. Sure. Oh, look.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Oh, look. There's a berry I need. Go to a mountainous region. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I feel like I've just, you know, I think video games to me have always symbolized I'm having some me time. I'm relaxing. This is leisure time. So I think I associate them with, like, hey, now it's just time to relax.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Well, you're relaxing, and then still your hands have time to be fidgety. Yeah. Because you're fidgety as you relax. Come on. I wasn't going to let that go. All right. Now it's time for another big penis one. I can feel it.
Starting point is 00:40:11 I can feel it. Here it comes. I know what you're fidgeting with. I can feel the, yeah. It's time for your sixth lunch. Come on, Jesse. Remember? He masturbates a lot.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Come here. The slip. The slip. Yeah. You guys want to go to Taco Bell for six lunch after this? Get some quesadillas. Oh, man. Some crunchy chicken wraps.
Starting point is 00:40:30 I'm going to need plenty of that cheese sauce, if you know what I mean. Oh, yeah. And then we're going to jerk it into some Mountain Dew Cool Breeze. Exclusive to the bell. Yeah. Then I'm going to- Mountain Dew Cool Breeze? Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:40 There's a Taco Bell exclusive Mountain Dew. I forget the name, but it's something like Cool Breeze. I like the idea of Mountain Dew Cool Breeze because in my imagination, it's licensed from second tier dungeon family member Cool Breeze. Sure. Tastes like him. Mountain Dew Cool Breeze. Watch for the hook. I like the idea of – This is one semi-hit song.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Mountain Dew Cool Ranch Doritos. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. All on a taco. You don't like that? Now that I thought about it, it sounds horrible. It's two things that the same person likes, but together.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I think Taco Bell has had a lot of success with their I dare you to eat this mashups. Oh, yeah. Just fucking pour some dew on that shit. Yeah. Take it to the next level. Blast it with some lettuce out of a caulking gun. Nothing like caulked lettuce. It's the best. Nothing like cocked lettuce. It's the best.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I like all my veggies cocked. They're just on the assembly. Can you cock this up a little? I like my veggies like my bathtubs. Filled with cock. Yeah. I have so little interest in novelty fast food. The entire fast food industry runs on novelty fast food. Yeah. I mean, I think the fast food industry has had a bad novelty fast food. Yeah. Well, I mean, you're not a – The entire fast food industry runs on novelty fast food.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Yeah. I mean, I think the fast food industry has had a bad couple of years. Yeah. I think they've been hurt by people becoming – Hashtag locavore. Sure, yeah. Hashtag the slap. Hashtag the best a man can get.
Starting point is 00:41:59 It seems like now fast food is all just like trying to, it's two things. It's trying to trick you into thinking it's a place you can get a salad. Right. Or just taunting 13-year-olds, basically saying, I bet you won't eat this asshole. I feel like. Have your mom drop you off. I left, I abandoned it around the time when the international chicken sandwich at Burger King where you could get American, French, or Italian.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Sure. Go on a little world tour. Well, when's the last time you guys went to Kentucky Fried Chicken? They're definitely in your face. I dare you to eat this, the whole menu. It's like sandwiches, but it's not bread. It's two fried pieces of chicken with a piece of grilled chicken in the middle. But you have to eat through a pie to get to it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:42 It's all in the middle of a pie. It's like the light middle of a pie. It's like a latticework of bacon. Yeah. It's a Nickelodeon obstacle course. The thing is... And it's all soaked in gas. Yeah. And at the end, you have to blow Mark Summers for some reason before you get your sandwich.
Starting point is 00:43:01 No one knows. And if you say you don't know... Allegedly. Allegedly. You are alleging. Yes. Oh, did Mark Summers have a sex scene? And if you say you don't know. Allegedly. You are alleging. Yes. Oh, did Mark Summers have a sex scene? Yeah, wait. I didn't know that. No, he's well regarded.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Sure. I think he is. You're thinking of the frugal gourmet. I am thinking of, yeah, that's the guy who had kids blow him for Genesis. Oh, Guy Fieri. We know he does that. Sorry to bring him up. Yeah. He made nachos in a garbage can recently. Really? Yeah. I feel like every time No, he does that. Yeah. Sorry to bring him up. Yeah. He made nachos in a garbage can recently. Really?
Starting point is 00:43:25 Yeah. I feel like every time. No, he didn't. Every time we go on hiatus for At Midnight, some fucking crazy thing happens that would be perfect for the show. Right. Last hiatus, Screech stabbed someone in a casino. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:40 And this hiatus, Guy Fieri made nachos in a garbage can. Did you know Screech is totally in jail? He's incarcerated. Oh, wow. Because this hiatus, Guy Fieri made nachos in a garbage can. Did you know Screech is totally in jail? He's incarcerated. For stabbing? Yeah, because he lied about it. He said, no, I was offering someone a ballpoint pen. I was signing. I should mail him some night flutes.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Yeah, you should. He'll be needing them. Yeah. Just give him a sock filled with soap bars. Do you think Screech is doing okay in jail? Yeah, he's tough. Yeah. He's king of the yard.
Starting point is 00:44:04 He's got those off-color jokes he told on the set of America that one time when we were in college. Oh, wow. Really? You had him as a guest? Yeah. It was bad. Wow. It was bad, Chris.
Starting point is 00:44:14 It was much worse than you could ever think it would be. Wow. The two things in my life that have been much worse than you would ever imagine them to be were the time we had Screech on the show and he just told jokes about disabled people. Street jokes. Wow. He works comedy clubs that I wish I could work. Like he gets – I hate it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And he goes in there and he does joke book jokes about disabled people. Oh, wow. Wow. And the other one was when we went to the Gallagher show in college. And it turns out his whole show is not breaking things up, not hitting things with a hammer. That's the last hour. Yeah, but, like, you have to wait two hours. Of three. Yes, of three. The show is so long.
Starting point is 00:44:57 No opener. Well, unless you count Gallagher riding around the audience on a giant three-wheel bicycle. While muttering teabagger right-wing politics, right? He's like hardcore, right? And racist and homophobic. Oh, yeah. A lot of racist jokes in Gallagher's act. A lot of homophobia in his act.
Starting point is 00:45:16 You're like, is this man real? Wow. Yeah. Those are the two big disappointments of my career. Yeah. Oh, and not being successful at my chosen field. Yeah. Well, that's minor.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Yeah. Other than. Three top three. Top three. But yeah, I feel like, oh, and we had another hiatus. The guy from Creed made those crazy vlogs. Oh, yeah. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:39 That was maybe a little too sad to be funny. That was pretty sad. Oh, where he needed money. It's a funny concept. Yeah. He thought people were after him. Oh, no. They've been stealing his royalties.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Did I tell you guys about the time I was at a bar and I gave the drummer from Stained a ride home? No, please tell us about that. I just, I mean, that's pretty much the story. But when I drop him off, it was a nice house. How did you get to talking to this guy? He just sat next to me and said, hey, man, what's going on? And I'm like, I was almost like, I'd kind of just rather be alone. I was writing or something. I was at a bar, but it's down the street from my house.
Starting point is 00:46:13 He's like, oh, my damn wife. This is in Venice? Yeah, yeah. And he kept sitting closer to me. And he's like, yeah, I'm in a band. You may have heard of a stained. You're not in stained. And then he knew right away that I was someone that probably didn't like Stained.
Starting point is 00:46:27 And he was like, I mean, we still have a pretty good following. I know that we had our heyday, but we still sell out a lot of places. He started defending Stained to me because I was clearly— Well, I mean, it's his life's work. Yeah, yeah. Why doesn't he just some yokel, some local yokel? He was as ridiculous as you might think, but he also started— Did he look like a guy who had been in—did he have, like, facial piercings?
Starting point is 00:46:51 Yes. He had a graphic tee, and he was kind of balding. And tattoo, yeah. When it's a rock star, you notice it more. And then he was like, can I get a ride home? I'm like, well, my car is down—it's seven blocks away. I live—he's like, well, I'll is down. It's seven blocks away. I live. He's like, well, I'll walk with you.
Starting point is 00:47:07 So we went for a walk. And then we got in my car, and he did coke in the car the whole time. Did he really? He offered it to me at, like, stoplights. And I'm like, I do not desire your rowdy powder. And then when I dropped him off at the house, it was just little tykes, equipment, and toys everywhere. A decent house, kind of by LAX. And then I let him off at the house, it was just little tykes, equipment, and toys everywhere. A decent house, kind of by LAX. And then I let him come out.
Starting point is 00:47:30 But it's so funny that he was like – Exchange numbers. I have his phone number. We could call him. Anyway, that's my long story. God, that's so – a lot of that's crazy. I mean, obviously, you know, the guy probably has a – God, how did he get all the way out to Venice? That's a long drive. He had had a fight with someone, and it wasn't his wife, but it was a lady, and I didn't ask any more questions about that.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I'm not here to break up a rock marriage. Sure. But, yeah, he was complaining about his wife, and I think – Would you break up, like, a bakery marriage? I would, yeah. What about a doo-wop marriage? Oh, I will. I've broken up barbershop quartets.
Starting point is 00:48:06 about a doo-wop marriage oh i will i've broken up barbershop quartets the entire orioles yeah are living solo now at the age of 85 oh so you're the reason we're not getting a new capital steps album sorry sorry congress the opposite of progress that's mark rus. Same shit, though. Yeah. I was just talking about Brian Stack. Brian Stack, comedy writer for the Conan O'Brien show, now going to be headed to New York to be a comedy writer on the new Colbert show. Love the tribute they did to him on Conan. I thought that was great. Yeah. Man, Brian Stack's the greatest.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Sure. Past guest on this show. But Brian was in the band, and I'm using this in the comedy sketch, The Slipknot. Sure. Which you guys may remember that the premise of The Slipknot was it was him, I want to say Andy Blitz and... Anyway. John Glazer.
Starting point is 00:49:01 John Glazer, yes, thank you. And the three of them in like red sweater vests. And the premise is Conan meant to book Slipknot on the show. And then he accidentally booked the Slipknots. And they're just these guys who sing the song that goes, we're the Slipknots. We're slipping on nuts. Round and around. Slipping on nuts.
Starting point is 00:49:18 And they did a whole documentary that I posted when Brian said he was – when it came out that it was Brian's last day on Conan where they went and opened for Slipknot. And you just see all these just – they go out in these outfits on stage at like – I don't know, that arena in Anaheim or something like that. I was going to say Anaheim Arena. I really was. San Bernardino. That's where KFest is held. And there's just all these – Not good.
Starting point is 00:49:48 All these just – first, there's just these confused looks on the faces of these dudes in the front row. And then they're just flipping them off and throwing stuff. How much time could the Slip Nuts do? So they only – they can't have done more than three minutes. Yeah. Because their song is only like 60 seconds long. They can't have done more than three minutes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Because their song is only like 60 seconds long. And Brian told me that before they went out there, the Slipknot's manager grabbed them by the shoulder and he said, Guys, be careful out there. These fans throw batteries, and that's at bands they like. Batteries? Like double A batteries? Not double A's. I'm talking C's and D's, I think. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Oh, man. Car. Something you'd put's and D's. Yeah, sure. Oh, man. Car. Something you'd put in a car battery. Yeah. Wow. Marine. They are so insane. You mean like a battery for a boat?
Starting point is 00:50:34 Yeah. Oh, okay. Of course. They're a little bigger. Back of the trunk lowrider speaker. Yeah, you got it. Batteries. Those are also car batteries.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Okay, I'm out. So Slipknot. Drone batteries. I don't know how long they've been doing this, but I guess something they would like to make annual is Knot Fest. Happens in San Bernardino. Is it a celebration of Celtic culture? I think it's a celebration of monster-based metal music.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Right. Yeah. Are they monsters? They're like zombies. What are they? They have blood on themselves. Yeah. But they monsters? They're like zombies. What are they? They have like blood on themselves. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:07 But they have like gimp masks on, right? Yeah. And like, what's the guy with the nails in his head? Hellraiser. Hellraiser type hats.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Okay. Oh, wow. Like a classic Hellraiser hat. Yeah. It's just like one of those Captain Baseball caps but with nails.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. And they wanted the whole festival to have a signature smell. Uh-huh. They wanted something, you know, for it to be something that you, like, you walked away from Knotfest and, you know, you smelled it on your clothes a couple days later. It's called perfume. And you could remember the fun time you had with all your awful buddies at Knotfest. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:49 And they achieved this signature smell by setting a pile of camel dung on fire. What? And just let that blow over the whole thing. That's the signature smell you want? Yeah. A horrible one? I think so. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty metal. You have to give. A horrible one? I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I mean, it's pretty metal. You have to give it to them that that is pretty metal. Do they have the camels there? Because that would be fun. That would be fun. What if they all came in on camels? Oh, man. The camels took a shit and they just threw matches.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Oh, sure. Yeah. As the camels were walking. That would be pretty cool. Anyway. Camels are pretty fun. Which would you say is more metal? This is a serious question. Sure. Yeah. Camels are pretty fun. Oh, they're great. Which would you say is more metal? This is a serious question.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Sure, yeah. Camels are dromedaries. Oh. I couldn't even say it. Wait, wait. So what's the... Wait, let me try this again. So dromedary is...
Starting point is 00:52:34 Can I try it again? Sure, yeah. Can I try it again? Guys, can I ask you a serious question? Sure, please. Which would you... We're taking this seriously. Which would you say is more metal?
Starting point is 00:52:45 Camels are dromedaries? I know I have an answer to this question. So a dromedary, how many humps does that have? I think the dromedary has one hump and the camel has two humps. So a dromedary is not a camel? I don't think. No, I think it's. I think there's two different names for camel.
Starting point is 00:53:02 I think a dromedary is a camel. Uh-huh. Brian, can we have some help on this? God damn it, Brian. What are you doing over there? What's a camel? What's the difference between a camel? Just take out your phone and say, phone, what's the difference between a camel and a dromedary?
Starting point is 00:53:20 And then I want to know. Don't be a jackass, Brian. Jesus Christ. I'm asking Google. I'm asking Google. Don't be a jackass, Brian. Jesus Christ. I'm asking Google. I'm asking Google. Siri. Okay. Brian says a dromedary is an Arabian or Indian camel.
Starting point is 00:53:33 And can you tell me is. How many humps? Is a moose a type of. Oh, wow. Hello. Siri, what is the difference between a camel and a dromedary? Google, how many humps does a camel have? Why is Brian such a jackass?
Starting point is 00:53:50 Siri, are you Tom Cruise's daughter? Okay, what are the difference? Didn't work. Okay, Bactrian has two humps. Google sent it back to me. So Bactrian camel, two humps. Dromedary, one hump. I'm going to say the most metal of the camels is the...
Starting point is 00:54:13 So I was right all along. Wow. Thank you very much. So the Bactrian camel has two humps. I would say it's the most metal because it mimics the two bass drum style that metal drummers use. One hump for each bass drum. But what about this?
Starting point is 00:54:31 What happens if you try to ride a metal dude? He'll shake you off. A single hump camel, such as a dromedary, only has one hump so there's no comfortable place to rest. I always have thought about that. Comfort is not very metal.
Starting point is 00:54:47 So, yeah, I guess if you were riding a two-humped camel, you nestle between the humps. Yeah, but on the other hand, that's like putting your face between two titties. Am I right, guys? Oh, yeah. Hashtag the sack. Hashtag camel motorboat. Hashtag store water for later, the desert. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse.

Brian and I, before the show started, before you guys made your first appearance at this locale, we're talking about how much we love Guy Branum's new Max Fun Show, Pop Rocket. Sure. I love to listen to it every week. I look forward to it.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Brian was just saying he's got such a long list of podcasts that he likes listening to, but he's found that Pop Rocket has moved to the top of the list every week for him. It's the first thing he listens to, the thing he looks forward to most, and it's relatively short, so it's a real snappy listen. I'm just saying, Pop Rocket. These are the facts. This is just the reality of the situation. Listen to Pop Rocket, because it's great. I'm going to.

Starting point is 00:57:19 We've got some momentous occasions lined up. Let's hear the first one. Hi, Jordan. Hey, Jesse. Hey, Jess. I'm driving home from my job. It's like 11 o'clock at night. And I almost hit a possum.
Starting point is 00:57:33 And I didn't hit it. I swerved in time. I also swerved just in time to realize it was shitting in the middle of the road. How exciting is that? Yes, I just saw a possum pooping in the middle of the road. They poop like dogs, apparently. Anyways, really excited about a possum pooping. I'm also really tired from working all day.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Anyways, have a great show. Bye. Can I ask you a question? Does she sound cute or is it just that she's talking about sexy? She sounds cute. I knew that Jordan was imagining what she looked like. Sure. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:05 I think she's, you know, I think long. I'm just going to paint a picture for you. Long string of dead possums. Long string of dead possums. I love that in a girl. Shed in the woods with like a lot of rusty tools. Keep talking. A Bible.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Oh, shit. That she's written in with blood I'm about to eat my own lunch yeah or take one nevermind I said it wrong
Starting point is 00:58:29 and just this beautiful mask made from the skin of her victims oh right that just kind of it's not pulled taut around her face
Starting point is 00:58:37 but it's kind of hanging you know it drapes it drapes can I say drapes you sure does that seem like
Starting point is 00:58:42 the right word well her drapes are also crepes her drapes are made out of drapes? You sure? Does that seem like the right word? Well, her drapes are also... Crepes. Her drapes are made out of eating crepes. Just shoving them in her skin mask. Oh, God. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:58:53 I mean, yeah. Can I say something about possums? Sure. There's some possums in my neighborhood. There's a lot of animals in my neighborhood, which I'm not that comfortable with. You're from Montana, Chris. You know from animals. But I'm from inner city with. You're from Montana, Chris. You know from animals. But I'm from inner city San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Yeah. I don't know anything about animals. Possums just look like big rats to me. Possums are monsters. They're horrible. Fucking, you know, what's the one that makes the stink out of its butt? Skunks. Sure.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Skunks. Skunks are pretty cute. Skunks are very cute. They'd have a little walk where they'd go, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. That's exactly what I was thinking of. They got their funny stripe. Sure.
Starting point is 00:59:33 They're always chasing cats around who got painted. Yeah, yeah. And kind of have sexual advances upon them. Yeah. Yeah. They got those fun accents. It was a different time. It was a different time for a French skunk.
Starting point is 00:59:45 We painted cats and tried to corner them at a construction site and fuck them. And sometimes we turned into homophobic werewolves and were good at basketball. Yeah, and surfed on ice cream trucks. To be fair, I think it was Stiles that was homophobic. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Anyway, Stiles. I think possums are the grossest animal that lives in my area. And I'm including fuzzy caterpillars.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Sure. I'm including roly-poly bugs, which recently, by the way, apparently we live in the age of big roly-poly because 20,000 roly-poly bugs just appeared on my front walkway the other day. Get out of here, roly-polies. Yeah. So there's a lot of animals that are gross and unpleasant. You know, coyotes. I don't care for those. Have you ever seen a baby
Starting point is 01:00:29 possum? One that doesn't look like it's gone through chemo, that has a nice, even coat of fur and, sure, that pink rat tail, but a face. The baby ones are cute. I promise you. I also think that the babies are cute. The babies are cute. They hang on to the mama.
Starting point is 01:00:45 When they actually – playing possum is a real thing they do, and it's pretty great when you see what it – I would – because they were all around my house in Venice, I would go up to him and go, hey. And he really did like hang upside down and pretend to be dead, but I could see his eyes looking at me waiting for me to leave. And I was like, I can't stay mad at you just because you have crooked teeth and look like you'd be in a New York subway. Yeah, they're the best. I kind of. I decided I like the ugly ones, too. We just have to disagree on this.
Starting point is 01:01:14 At least they all know where to go to the bathroom. In the street. Yeah. Middle of the street. Light that poop on fire. You got yourself a Slipknot concert. Let's take our next call. Hey, Jordan, Jesse, and
Starting point is 01:01:28 guest. This is Rosanna. I'm from Canada, but I'm currently in Vegas and kind of drunk. And I just saw a panhandler with a sign that said, just looking at butts. Love you guys. Bye. Rosanna's pretty dope. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Oh, also, I forgot to tell you guys about my trip to Vegas. Wait, you went to Vegas? Yeah, and it had this cool sign. It said, just looking at butts. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you make any money? I wasn't out for money. Oh, you were just looking at butts.
Starting point is 01:01:56 To be honest. All right. So brave. So brave. You know what? You know what you remind me of a lot? Hmm? Bill Maher.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Yeah, yeah. You don't care whether something's funny or not funny or racist or not racist. You're just spitting faxes. You see them. You see envelopes and you push them. Take that envelope. You're a real envelope pusher.
Starting point is 01:02:19 How about the edge of the table for you? You don't even have a butt. Yeah, or a stamp. Envelope. Yeah, no a stamp. Envelope. Yeah, no, thank you for recognizing how brave I am. You got a lot of hot takes, too. Sure, hot takes. That's another thing about you that I like. Hot takes, cool treats. I tell you that there is a-
Starting point is 01:02:39 You want an opinion, an uncensored opinion about this Daily Show fellas Twitter feed or a dilly bar. Right. I've got one of each. Can I get a hot take on a cool treat real quick? I think blizzards are racist. And I don't think they should host the Daily Show. Wow. Have you seen these blizzards?
Starting point is 01:03:04 They're ice cream. Blizzards may be racist. The reasons will surprise you. Yeah. Slate.com slash blizzards? They're ice cream. Blizzards may be racist. The reasons will surprise you. Yeah. Slate.com slash blizzards. Yeah. Patton Oswalt absolutely eviscerates blizzards in this epic Twitter rant. I have a real question about frozen treats.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Sure. As you know, Jordan, and Chris, you're about to learn, I'm a real partisan to the It's It brand frozen confection. It's It? It's It. Tell me more about this. I've never heard of it. Well, it's native to California, specifically the San Francisco Bay Area, but it's available in grocery stores here. And it's two chewy oatmeal cookies with ice cream in between covered in chocolate.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Whoa. It's really good. I didn't expect that last Whoa. It's really good. I didn't expect that last part. It's really good. And so I don't always go trolling through the frozen aisle looking for – I usually just go with the its-its. Yeah. But, you know, once in a while maybe I want some ice cream.
Starting point is 01:03:58 I got to find if there's a new good kind of ice cream that doesn't have chocolate in it, which is rare. And I was in my local – guys, you guys know that I'm not a bragger, right? Yeah. I was shopping at Food for Less. Okay. And – All right.
Starting point is 01:04:14 That's gross. That's not – just not bragging. That's like gross. Number four. Sorry. Less. And there is a brand – it may be a Los Angeles-specific brand of ice cream bars. Homey?
Starting point is 01:04:30 Homeboy? Homeboy Industries. Two not Homeboy Industries. I would love it if they were making ice cream bars in prison. I would buy those in a heartbeat. Yeah. Or a reformed gang member making an ice cream bar. Yes, please.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Homeboy Industries. Good guac. You guys had the guac? Yes, I have. Ooh, they can make a guac. This is a popular halfway house program here in Los Angeles where former gang members make chips, salsa, and guacamole.
Starting point is 01:05:00 It's really a great idea. It's great. It's a whole great thing. Anyway. There's also a movie theater where the Homeboy Industries guys serve you homemade pastries. And they're great. They're legit great. That sounds good. What kind of pastries are we talking about? Empanadas?
Starting point is 01:05:16 No, these are like sweet pastries. These are like little cinnamon rolls. It'd be funny if hidden in every other one was like a file or something to break out. Yeah. I don't know. There are two distinctive characteristics of this new type of ice cream bar that they're carrying at my local Food for Less. Number one, they cost $4 each. Each?
Starting point is 01:05:41 Per bar. That's not for a box. No, $4 for a bar. This is not for a box. No. It's kind of steep. $4 per bar. For a bar. Okay. That is steep. Well, it's certainly not less. Food for more.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah. Number two. Thank you. So brave. Thank you. They are modern architecture themed. Oh, this is cool house. What?
Starting point is 01:06:01 Cool house. I wish that there was a grade lower than F-minus. Yeah. That I could give this grocery store frozen treat that costs $4. What? Let me be clear. They are not architectural in their construction. If this was
Starting point is 01:06:18 a frozen treat in the shape of falling water. Right. Not the substance. The famous Frank Lloyd Wright house. I would be all for it. That would be awesome. Yeah. If you want to give me a Mies van der Rohe designed bar.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah, with its signature on it. I'm into it. I'll eat this. Rem Koolhaas. Stark. Which it's named after. Sure. Koolhaas.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Koolhaas. That just occurred to me. I'm on board for that. It's just a regular fucking ice cream bar with a name that's a pun on a modern architect. Sure, so you can feel like a fancy pants. Oh, go fuck yourself. And that's at Food for Less? Not you, Jordan.
Starting point is 01:07:01 No. The $4 bar. Sure. If it was $1 or $2, I wouldn't be bothered by it. Yeah, sure. Honestly. Have all the goofy names you want. Yeah, if it costs the same amount as the other ones, I just don't want to pay extra for a fucking Dwell magazine name.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Take it to Pinterest, asshole. Yeah, you got it. We got one more call. It's one of my famous rants. Here's a hot take. Go suck a lemon. Hashtag the slap. That's right.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Oh, I'm so bad at that. Holy shit. I just hashtag the slapped Chris's wristwatch bracelet off. We high-fived so hard my watch broke. Wow. Yeah. Talk about a slap. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Back to the call. Sure. Let's get back to this call. Hey, Jordan, Jesse, and guests. This is Dustin in East Tennessee. I have a momentous occasion that happened today. I called AT&T's U-verse technical support because my DVR box was broken and my wife couldn't watch whatever show it was she watches. So I called and the guy answered.
Starting point is 01:08:13 I finally got a guy after pushing like 18 buttons. And he said, hey, this is U-verse TV, blah, blah, blah. My name's Frank. What can I do for you? Extremely unprofessional. And I said, hi, uh, my master DVR keeps showing the disaster recovery screen and won't blah, blah, blah. And he interrupted me and said, the damn thing's broke. You want a new one? And I said, uh, yeah, please. If it's broken, I guess. And he said, it is their trash.
Starting point is 01:08:43 And then he told me a story about how they have great service, but the boxes are really shitty. Uh, and then he asked for my pin and all that stuff. So I gave him my information and he said, okay, it'll be there tomorrow. Anything else? And I said, no. Um, by the way, this has been the best customer service experience in my life. Very fast and very, you know, normal. And he said, glad to hear it. Uh, today's my last day at AT&T. And he told me that he's 64 years old. He's taken over 70,000 of those calls in his life. And that he said, and I quote, I'm going to Hawaii with my wife on Friday and we are leaving until we die. Work is bullshit. And then he hung up.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Wow. Thanks, guys. Have a great day. Keep doing what you're doing. Fucking the wisdom of our elders. Yeah, geez. That was great. I was a little mad at the guy because he's not paying attention to the shows his wife likes.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Yeah, yeah. Personally, I try and share those shows with her. Maybe she's watching something cool. I'm no relationship expert, but I'm saying you got to share things. Maybe she's watching Cucumber Banana. I hear that's pretty good. What's that? It's like a gay show on Logo.
Starting point is 01:09:55 I hear it's pretty good. Cucumber Banana? Yeah, it's called Cucumber Banana, I'm pretty sure. What happens on it? It's like one, okay, so one is, it's from the creator of Queer as Folk. Okay. Another confusingly as Folk. Okay. Another confusingly named television program. It's like a middle-aged gay couple and they're going through dramas.
Starting point is 01:10:12 And then there's short pieces about young gay couples that enter and exit their life. Huh. Cucumber Banana. And it's named- One of them's called Cucumber, one of them's called Banana. I don't remember which one's which one. Are they cartoon characters? Is this a kid's show?
Starting point is 01:10:27 No, yeah. Logo's first foray into children's programming. Yeah, it's for little homosexuals. Just people who are curious, because it's not a binary, it's a spectrum. Sure. I would expect a show with cucumbers and bananas to be about lesbian couples. Yeah, because they put it in there. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Yeah, yeah. Chris, that really shows that you have a limited understanding of LGBT television programming. Well, is that why you're not high-fiving me or leaving me hanging? Because I was insensitive? I do know that on RuPaul's Drag Race recently, they did a thing where all the drag queens had to act in a Shakespeare play, and the play was called McBitch. Oh, that's the best. Yeah, it's rad. Dude, RuPaul is rad.
Starting point is 01:11:14 Oh, sure. I love RuPaul. I feel like RuPaul was in here to do Bullseye a year or so ago. Really? I feel like I'm still glowing from that. Oh, it's great. Like, three minutes of talking to RuPaul, and all you want is to be his best friend forever. RuPaul has done multiple videos where he drives around with Henry Rollins talking about relationships.
Starting point is 01:11:34 Really? Well, RuPaul was a famous teenage punk rocker in the scene that, the like Georgia scene that birthed the B-52s. What? Yeah, he was like good buddies with the B-52s in like 1982 before he moved to New York. Wow. He was in a band. I saw him. I saw, there's, you can go on YouTube and find video of like a 19-year-old RuPaul fronting
Starting point is 01:11:58 a punk band in Athens, Georgia or whatever in 1983. It's great. Man, I really like, I've watched a couple of RuPaul's Drag Race and I don't like this kind of show typically. But this is a lot of fun and I think it's great because like all reality shows are like – everybody is faking it. Everybody is putting it on because I know this is how you act on a reality show. And it's all like, oh, this is a cartoon of how people act. Right. And I think it like – it's so – it's not unsavory coming from drag Queens.
Starting point is 01:12:27 Cause it's like, that's the thing. That's already what they're doing. Yeah. Yeah. It's like doing a, doing a crazy version of femininity. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Yeah. They're doing that. I want to see it. It's, it's a lot. What's it, what's it on? What's RuPaul's.
Starting point is 01:12:39 It's on a logo. Oh yeah. I don't get that. You might get them on demand. No, I have the, try them on demand. I got that 18 to you versus the customer service is great. Those boxes are get that. You might get them on demand. No, I have the – Try them on demand. You got that AT&T U-verse.
Starting point is 01:12:46 The customer service is great. Those boxes are shit though. Man, if I – boy, I'm trying to think about the last awful customer service experience I had. It was probably that time when Southwest lost my bags and my suit was in it. And if at some point someone on the phone would just be like, hey, fuck, man. This is frustrating. I know. They do not have their shit together here.
Starting point is 01:13:14 I would have calmed down so much and, like, I would have been so much easier to deal with if someone just said that to me. What if RuPaul were for Southwest and they just said, sorry, we lost your bags, but you can be friends with RuPaul for a while. Yeah. Yeah, that would drive you around and give you relationship advice. That man is radiant. That dude is radiant. Sure. That dude is radiant. You can tell how he became a famous drag queen in 1989 when America was horrified
Starting point is 01:13:32 of the prospect of a drag queen. Right. Because he is fucking electric. He's an amazing dude. Wait, did he come as RuPaul, as her, or I went RuPaul, or did just as?
Starting point is 01:13:42 Well, RuPaul is his given name, so he goes by RuPaul whether or not he's in drag. I did not know that. He was wearing dude clothes. Character name. He was wearing dude clothes and he looked great. His dude clothes were great too.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Wow. He's a sharp tack, that RuPaul. You're really into RuPaul. I'm super into RuPaul. That's great. The people, we've already said who was shitty. In recent memory, the people who have come in here and blown my mind are RuPaul and Terry Cruz.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Oh, wow. Terry Cruz is also just like, when you're talking to him, you can't even believe he's a real human being because he's like so magnetic and smart and nice and amazing. Did you see, he was saying a lot of stuff when everyone was focused on football players being rapists, right? I believe so. That was just being violent towards women. He said
Starting point is 01:14:27 off the top of his head, it wasn't rehearsed, he said some really poignant awesome things about how you should treat women. And I was like, I'm like, you're the best. I like that guy. And he's funny. And he's funny. And he can do that thing with his pecs where they move.

On Chris's podcast, co-hosted with another past beloved Jordan Jesse Go guest, regular guest, Karen Colgar. They give people rides. Yes. At first, our mission statement was tour from the airport.
Starting point is 01:15:59 But there was enough 6 a.m. flights that needed a 4 a.m studio city pickup where we can't we're tired and no one can be funny or thoughtful or anything that you want on a podcast so now we're just you give people rides to jordan jessica or food for less yeah right yeah or a show it works just as good for it to be a show in places that people need to go yeah and sometimes if it's at a show we can go in record some of the show, throw that in there. Food for Less and drive me to a fucking poor house. Is it really? $4 ice cream.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Is everything there more expensive? Because that's ridiculous. No, everything is cheaper except for these fucking $4 ice cream bars. God, I'm mad at these ice cream bars. You want a bottle of Tapatio there? 70 cents. Yeah. It's going to be very affordable.
Starting point is 01:16:43 70 cents. This is the big jar, too. This ain't the little one. This is the big. You buy your Tapatio in a jar? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You don't need that drip-drop top. Oh, yeah. I just dump it. I buy mine in a Ziploc bag.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Yeah, sure. Down at the park. From a guy named Tapatio. Jordan, can we do a new thing where Sriracha is out and Tapatio is in? Now, I prefer Tapatio. If you're asking me what my hot sauce preference is. I got no beef with Sriracha. I'm just sick of people putting it on tables.
Starting point is 01:17:17 They're just not even the same thing. They're different genres. Sriracha is good. It's great. It's great. I thought- It's one of the reasons it's so popular. I feel like I'm-
Starting point is 01:17:24 Here's the journey I's great. I thought – It's one of the reasons it's so popular. I feel like I'm – here's the journey I'm on. Yeah. I'm trying not to – I'm trying not to complain about something because it's popular if it's good. I think that you can see the merits of something. You can have fun with it. Right. Yeah. But don't be a guy – I don't want to be a negative Nelly who's just like, fuck that just because it's popular.
Starting point is 01:17:43 So I can admit that I like some early Chili Pepper songs. Yeah, go for it. Right? Okay. It's time. Go for it. Once it got popular, I hated them. Do you want to name them?
Starting point is 01:17:54 Under the Bridge. Sure. I mean, no. They're mostly – I like the L.A. Lakers one, the Magic Johnson song. It's really good. It's from Mother's Milk. Yeah. It's a great song.
Starting point is 01:18:05 So here's what I feel we need to rage against. I don't think that sriracha is the enemy. Things that are popular but aren't good? Well, if we're talking about hot sauce, Tabasco. Yeah. That's gross. Don't like it. It's watery.
Starting point is 01:18:17 There's no xanthan gum in it. That's the reason. I didn't know that. I don't know. Yeah, it's better for you. If you have any inflammation in your body, be sure to eat Tabasco. It's just water, vinegar, and spices. No xanthan gum.
Starting point is 01:18:30 No. Xanthium gum, I believe I'm pronouncing it correctly, is even in green Tabasco. Adventium gum. But it provides that gumminess. I like the wateriness. It infuses the food. It enters it as if you had cooked with it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:43 I just don't like places that only have Tabasco. Oh, I'm with you there. If there's not a Tapatio or a Cholula, it's a mistake. So you don't like Chipotle. No. That's all they – they're like sponsored by Tabasco. Oh, huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:54 That's all I have. So I don't know. I don't think Sriracha is the enemy. I thought – Yes. Is it uncreative that fucking every restaurant has Sriracha-infused tater tots? Yes. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:19:04 Sure. Are those tater tots? Yes, absolutely. Sure. Are those tater tots great? Fuck yeah, they're great. Yeah. So who would you say is the real enemy? Tabasco. Don't you mean yourself?
Starting point is 01:19:13 Yeah. Oh, yeah. And my fractured spirit. What about the people who told us the terrorists blew up the Twin Towers? Oh, yeah. No, certainly they're the enemy. Yes. The MSM. Yeah.
