Jordan, Jesse, GO! - Ep. 499: Goth Friends Forever with Anders Brienholt

Episode Date: September 25, 2017

Jordan and Jesse forego their usual botany discussion to have a delightful chat with Danish comedian and host Anders Breinholdt about Jordan's excursion to an all-day punk rock event headlined by the Dropkick Murphys and Rancid, the Danish music festival that features a nail hammering competition and car smashing activities, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's appearances on Ander's talk show, The Late Shift.  

Give a little time for the child within you, don't be afraid to be young and free. Undo the locks and throw away the keys and take off your shoes and socks and run you. It's Jordan Jesse Goh, I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective. Every week on Jordan Jesse Goh, we take a deep dive into the world of botany. From the stamen to the pistol. Jesse, I don't wanna. Really?

No, I don't wanna. You don't wanna do that this week. I'm tired of flowers. You're tired of flowers? Tired of pollens? I never imagined, Jordan, not in a hundred thousand years did I imagine. I know that you never

thought that Jordan Violet Head Morris, which is my other... The biggest Violet fan in the world. My other nickname, in addition to Boy Detectives, Violet Head. Of course, people know this. To say nothing of your passion for lupins. It just seems so frivolous. You know what with world events like they are. Sure. There's a lot of world events. That's a very good point. There are a lot of events in the world, all over the world, not just here in the United States.

Yeah, boy, nationwide. Right, and internationally. And internationally. Across borders. Some shit's happening in Antarctica, probably. All the ships at sea. Yeah, and, you know, American box office receipts are at their lowest in 20 years. Yeah, the film industry is quaking in its boots.

Nobody's going out to the movies. Nobody's going out to the movies. They're staying home. They have home entertainment systems. So it seems like we're just so frivolous to the movies. Nobody's going out to the movies. They're staying home. They have home entertainment systems. So it seems like just so frivolous to talk about flowers. When more important things are going on. You know, of course, I mentioned pollens. Sure.

Pollinators. Pollinators. Fuzzy-legged bees. Yeah. Chlorophyll. Sure. Why don't we just lean in? if we're gonna be frivolous right let's just do it i read that book whole hog a whole hog frivolous program no that's the

self-help book i want you to read okay got it yeah it's about using the whole using every part of metaphorically yeah yeah got it. Right down to the snout. Right. From the root of to the tuna? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's from the guy who invented AskJeeves.com. Got it.

Former CEO of AskJeeves. Now he's a barbecue pit master. Mm-hmm. He's following his dreams. Whole hog in bookstores now. So why don't we just get rid of the artifice? Okay. If we're just going to be frivolous,

let's just chat. Really? Let's maybe bring in a guest, I don't know, from the international sphere. Okay. We were mentioning the fact that there are

other countries. Yeah. Let's prove it. Let's prove that there's other countries. A lot of people don't know that about the world. Mm-hmm.

But that is something that's been going on for decades now. South Africa. Absolutely. Yemen. Sure. That's out there.

I've been hearing a lot about Malaysia lately. I haven't looked into it, but I'd be interested to learn. The Dominican Republic's more popular than ever. There's no doubt about it. Have you seen the Google trend lines on the DR? I wouldn't want to learn. The Dominican Republic is more popular than ever. There's no doubt about it. Have you seen the Google trend lines on the DR? I wouldn't want to. Yeah.

Oh, boy. Make me feel bad about my Google trend line. Sure. By the way, my wife's upset about my Google trend lines. But, you know, Jesse, what also is important that they don't say is Google trend width. That's a good point. It's not the length of the Google trend line necessarily. It's also important that the Google trend line be wide. That it have girth. That it have girth. That it have good point. It's not the length of the Google trend line necessarily. It's also important that the Google trend line be wide.

That it have girth. That it have girth. That it be girthsome. And also that the Google trend line is okay with eating pussy. Right. Exactly. See, this is the kind of show we should be doing. Yeah.

Nothing. Wow. I had a whole daffodil thing planned, but I am crumpling it up and throwing it away. Let's bring in – I mean there's a guy sitting here who's come all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark. And I imagine he's here to talk about tulips or whatever, but maybe he would talk to us. No, we're not doing it. We'll talk about anything but. Anything but tulips.

He is a major celebrity in his native Denmark, perhaps the most famous Dane in all of Denmark. I say that not because I'm confident of it, because I simply don't know. I don't have the means to judge. He claims to be a celebrity in his native Denmark. He's told us all about his celebrity, among other things, is the host of a late night television program in Denmark, which has a name that is in Danish. So I'm not going to try and say the name of the program. But his name, Anders Spreinholt. Hi, Anders.

Hi, Jess. What's the name of your program in Denmark? Nethol. Sure. So that Anders. Hi, Jess. Thank you. What's the name of your program in Denmark? Nethol. Sure. So that will be the night shift. Okay. That will be the direct translation of that. That will be the night shift.

And I want to be clear. All of this setup seems like it's for us to do a bit with a guy doing a funny voice. No. I want to be clear. Real man. Real man. Anders is a real man who actually has a television program in Denmark, who I met one time in Denmark, then invited to our studio if he was ever in Los Angeles.

He's called my bluff, and he's sitting here now. Yep. Anders, welcome to the program. Thank you very much. A joy to have you here. Yeah, and I'm really happy to be here. How is Los Angeles treating you so far? Very nice.

We came in on Thursday and been pretty jet lagged. Out last night, got drunk. Okay. That's fair. Let's elaborate. Let's elaborate. Where does a Danish TV celebrity go out when they are going out in L.A.? All of the hottest clubs?

No. We're just out for dinner. Yeah. I have some friends living here and some Danish friends and they've been living here for what, 30 years or something. Okay. And we were at a very fancy Italian restaurant in West Hollywood. Sounds fancy.

Beverly Hills-ish. Really fancy. Sounds very fancy. It's called Sea Anemone. Exactly. Very good restaurant. No, it was very nice. A lot of wine.

And a lot of things drifting past it. Yes, but no nightclubs, unfortunately. And I don't know where to go. If I wanted to go to a nightclub in L.A., where should I go? Oh, boy. Well, you've come to the right place. I'm looking at two very old men just looking at me like, what is nightclubs? You know, I can tell you maybe three bars in the immediate area that have an old Street Fighter machine.

If that is your idea of a wild night. Into an arcade deck of Street Fighter II. I can tell you. There were no people in that part of the city because there was the fight. Oh, sure. Yeah, there was the big match. The big race war. Yeah.

Yeah. The televised race war. This episode will be coming out roughly a month after the race war has concluded. But however, I am so impressed that boxing is the one part of America where even in these turbulent times, people will go on television and basically say, yes, we are conducting a race war. Would you like to pay $100 to watch? And then other people will be like, well, yes, here's my $100. Sure. It's the most pay-per-viewed match ever.

Really? Yeah. This is the Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather thing. Exactly. Elderly boxing champion Floyd Mayweather versus kickboxing MMA champion Conor McGregor in a boxing match. Yeah. Did you see all the press meetings and all that gatherings before the match? I did.

Didn't he? Now, didn't Conor McGregor, who is seems like a racist cartoon of an Irishman. In like a newspaper in 1912. And to be clear, when we say he seems like a racist cartoon of an Irishman, we mean both racist against the Irish. Sure. And racist. And a racist. I don't know anything about the man. If you told me he was racist, I would probably say I would probably believe you.

I feel like at some point he told Floyd Mayweather to dance for him like a monkey or something like that. Sure, let's go with that. I think the word bitch came up a billion times. I guess, yeah. Not necessarily. But in poor taste. Neither of these men classy men. Sure, yes.

But rich men. Very rich men. How is it with Mayflower? Floyd? Floyd, yeah. What is it with the Mayflower? Why did it land on us?

I got confused about all the flower talk before. Sure. Mayweather. Is he broke or is he not broke? No, he is extraordinarily rich. He is. But what is – there was this story about him – some tax issues or something like that. I'm not surprised to hear that. I'm going to say –

Nothing about this. I would say that members of the boxing community are probably not the strongest in the area of tax accountancy. Right, right, right. I would say those guys are not guys prepared for the extraordinary volumes of money being dumped at their doors and they probably don't have a go-to guy for that.

I did see that, right, in the kind of the tumultuous lead up to this fight, there were like some, there were like some rowdy weigh-ins and I'll,

yeah, and I will probably agree with you that these are probably both evil men in different ways. Yeah. And we probably shouldn't be giving them money, but we did. That's the society we live in.

But Conor McGregor did, to one of the weigh-ins, wear a pinstripe suit where if you zoom in on the pinstripes, it said, fuck you. Exactly. And I'm like, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. That was a solid piece of business. Sure. Absolutely. I appreciated that. On a different man, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. That was a solid piece of business. Sure, absolutely. I appreciated that.

On a different man, that's a good move. You're into men's clothing and all that, and he's pretty well-dressed. He's well-dressed. The suits and the ties. For a guy whose job is to get hit in the face. Yeah. Yeah. I would say definitely among the getting kicked in the face community, he puts the effort in to put on a necktie.

He was wearing a shirt and tie when he was getting his hands wrapped before the fight. Speaking of things that, this is what we're doing on this week's program. People who care, they've long left it behind. This is a month old. The people who haven't heard about this, they don't care. So we're right there in the Venn diagram of Jordan, Jesse, go listeners. We've alienated everyone. You know, last night while this fight was going on, I was with some friends at an all-day

punk rock thing and at this all day punk rock thing all day punk rock thing out in a field great place to do that at night it's a concert, during the day it's just a it's a long

polo game and one of the bands, one of the headlining bands at this thing was the Dropkick Murphys. Sure. This is a popular belligerent punk rock band. Yes. They did the intro for what was- The Departed.

They did a song for The Departed. Exactly. Yeah. Shipping up to Boston. Yeah. They're Irish themed. Yes. That's how they would put it, right?

Yeah. So they are from- So it was a kind of a co-headlining thing with Rancid. Right. By the way, Jesse, you were saying on a previous program that people were telling you that you look like any bald guy with a beard. Yes. Have people been telling you you look like the guy from Rancid? No, do I look like the guy from Rancid? That is what he looks like now, except for the bald head spiderweb tattoo.

Oh, okay. Full spiderweb. Got it. Have you considered full spiderweb? I should think about full spiderweb. If I was going to look like a punk rock bald guy with a beard, how about the guy from F-Dub? Oh, yeah. Sure.

I like that guy. He's a real sweet guy. That's a good guy to look like. Yeah. So, yeah. So, they are both- I guess I would have to be shirtless. They are both what Dropkick Murphys and Rancid have in common.

They are both kind of riffing on a late 70s working class British punk rock. You know, something, you know, wasn't arty. Wasn't like your talking head. This is the people's punk rock. Exactly. A lot of songs about criticizing the national elf. Right. People's punk rock. Exactly.

A lot of songs about criticizing the national elf. Right. If you want a loud song about the national elf, you come to this sort of music. Is the national elf, is that like the Lucky Charms guy for a malt liquor? Yes, the national elf. How many people attend this punk rock? Oh, boy. There was a lot of people.

Yeah, this was in the Inland Empire. How many people attend this, you know, punk rock? Oh, boy. There was a lot of people. Yeah. This was in the Inland Empire. I was about to say, where in Orange County was this held? Oh, this is the IE, Jesse. Got it. This is the IE. Yeah. That's some next level shit.

Yeah. 909. Yeah. Got it. So. Is it 1,000? 100 people? Yeah.

If they say thousands, I would say in the thousands. I am very bad at guessing how many people are in a thing. I'm going to say 4,000. Yeah, I would say between. I was going to say 5,000. 5,000 it is. So, yeah. So they have both taken this kind of British music from the 70s.

Dropkick Murphys have replaced Ipswich with Boston. And Rancid have replaced Ipswich with a very particular bus line in Berkeley. A very particular bus route. As a native of San Francisco who spent his teenage years at the height of Gilman Street, I can confirm the centrality of certain bus lines in Berkeley to East Bay Punk Rock circa 1993. And, you know, these two things about – and then they've added some Irish shit. They added some Irish shit later. So these two things you can imagine attract a certain kind of man. Right.

To the Dropkick Murphys. Yeah. Sort of like his other interests might be calligraphy. Well, so I was concerned about this this event i guess maybe calligraphy in the old english font yeah yeah and while we were waiting for them to go on a lot of people were just yelling connor mcgregor the fight was not being projected anywhere so i was worried yeah but then i remembered then i remembered a time when I saw them in college, the Dropkick Murphys. And they were not a big thing.

They were still a thing of punk rock interest. But they still attracted a kind of guy who is enthusiastic about European heritage. Uh-huh. So I met this thing in college in Santa Cruz. Dropkick Murphys are playing. Mm-hmm. Guy jumps on stage, throws out a Zeke Heil. Heil Hitler.

Oh, wow. In Santa Cruz. In Santa Cruz. I remember this. In the 80s? Yeah, this is 2005. 2005. 2005. And let's be clear.

Santa Cruz, that's not Hitler country. No, no, no, no. This guy was probably coming from elsewhere. This guy probably came into town. Yeah. I mean, my guess is you'd probably have more like Central American Marxists. Yeah, sure. But this guy jumped on stage, Zeke Heil. Band stops playing, throws down their instruments, beats him up, and then keeps playing.

And as I'm sitting there being worried about this, I am like, oh, I think this will be fine. So, you know. So with that in mind. Yes. You were really looking forward to the concert. Yes. Last night. And besides the McGregor.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Applauding. What happened? Went off without a hitch. Great show. How do you.

Lovely. How do you. No one. No, no one. Or anything. No, Great show. How do you – Lovely. How do you – No one – No, no one. Seen Kyle or anything? No. I think the place that this was occurring, I think the main kind of person there is like a Latino guy wearing all black. So I don't think you had a lot of –

So maybe at some point in this tour they ran into a white guy with suspenders, but not here. I wonder, Jordan, because you are – you've been a punk rocker your whole life. Sure. Punk rock enthusiast maybe. Since about second grade. Yeah. Right? But you are getting to the point in your life where – look, I'm a year older than you.

Sure. So I'm a little further down this road than you are. But I'm at the point in my life where if I go to a concert, I have two concerns. I enjoy the music, but I have two concerns. Music's great. I think we could all agree. If music's either food of life – Play on.

Play on, waiter. I have two concerns. Number one, I'm concerned about it's probably a little too loud. It's pretty loud. My second concern is my back hurts. Now, when I'm going to a concert, at this point, let's be honest, I'm going to like a Neo Soul concert. I'm going to see Balal or something like that. Okay?

This already had 40-year-old African-American couples in nice outfits. This had that 20 years ago. Yeah. So God knows it has it now. Okay? You are going to a punk rock concert where a big part of the concert is everybody pushing each other. So how does it work for you as a man in your mid-30s? So this one was nice because outdoors, had a little lawn area.

So for the first two hours that we're there, we're hanging out on the lawn. We're drinking a $12 beer. We're smoking a J. All right. That's nice. Did you bring a little picnic? Yeah. Some cold cuts?

Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I think for the... You just have to choose when you're going to be rowdy. I think when I was... I had a really great time. Did you go to the Hollywood Bowl for that Operation Ivy show? Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure. It was really nice.

It was nice. And I got the best pate. Yeah, they. Yeah, sure. It was really nice. It was nice. And I got the best pate. Yeah, they do a great job. You order that picnic basket. They give a really nice chicken liver pate. And a great rosé, too. I think they make it there. I really enjoy that.

I think they make it there. Do they have a winery at the Bowl? Because that is a great rosé. It's fresh. That is a fresh. And I love a fresh it is that is a fresh and i love a fresh wine fresh wine just a nice right out the grape right right out the grape off the vine just pluck it right off the vine and put it right in my mouth yeah while listening to dead kennedy's tribute band playing yeah yeah yeah festival great festival It's still the dead Kennedy, just not with Jello Biafra or another guy.

So, yeah. So I think the idea is just to pick a bit when you're going to be rowdy and then just have a place you can retreat to. Right. To make sure that, you know, I'm not seeing a lot of shows these days in, like, converted art galleries. Right. Or YMCAs where you're, you know, you're crammed in with everybody and everybody's being rowdy. There's a little rowdy area that you can go to. But if not, there's a bar you can hang out by.

There's a lawn you could smoke a J on. You have been taking a pretty rowdy spin class at the YMCA. That's true. Yeah, yeah. That is pretty wild. It gets a little nuts. Yeah, some of those- Affirmations. Yeah, some of those... Affirmations.

Yeah, some of those 45-year-old women are really toned. Sure. And they go hard. They go hard. They're not afraid to turn them wheels. John, you should go to Copenhagen. We have a festival in Copenhagen called Copenhill. Okay.

That's the name of it. But it's a hot rock festival. Okay. And I haven't been there because I'm not that much into hard rock music. But everyone that goes there says it's a fantastic festival. And it's all old bands like, you know, Scorpions. Oh, sure. Iron Maiden and bands like that.

Yeah, yeah. And it's designed for men in their middle 30s, 40s, showing up, only beer. And I don't know what you call it when you have a nail and a hammer and then you have this competition where you just hammer the nail down. You are saying this like this is familiar. I'm not saying – I have no idea. So you know when you go to a concert with 30-year-old men, you drink a beer and you hammer a nail. So no, wait.

So please explain this to us. I want to invite you next year, both of you. Yes. It's in June. Okay. And you should come. Wait. I've heard Copenhagen is beautiful in June.

I am really confused about this nail hammering thing. It is. And I don't want to let it go. So it's a competition where you hammer nails into a board? In the middle of a bar, you have a piece of wood. Yeah. And then you get nails, and then you get a hammer. And then you have one person, each one of us.

Okay. And while this is happening, the Scorpions are playing. Exactly. Wind of change, whatever. Sure. Right. Rocky like a hurricane. Yeah.

Actually, they're a great song. Yeah, that is a great song. That's a really great song. Yeah, it delivers. Yeah. Actually, it's a great song. Yeah, it's a great song. It's a great song. It's a really great song. Yeah, it delivers. Yeah. But, and then you just start, you know,

then it turns and then the first one, one, you know, hit with a hammer and then you're the next, you're the next and then the first one.

With the board spins in a circle? No, it's just like a wooden, what do you call it? A block, a table. Exactly. It's a block, a table? Exactly.

It's a block of wood, yeah. And then you just start hammering. It's really stupid. Is it a contest to see who can hammer the fastest? It is. Okay. It is. And it's really stupid.

Another stupid thing is that they have old car wrecks, a part of the festival, where you can go in and then you can smash these cars. What? Oh, yeah. Yes, exactly. Do you drive them or do they just have implements there? They're just implements there. Wow. You don't drive them.

You just have all kinds of tools and then you just start smashing them. Can I tell you something? I think that having been to Copenhagen, I really enjoyed it. It was on a tour of some other major cities of Northern Europe. And what did you smash while you were there? I didn't smash anything. Not a car? The patriarchy to some extent.

That's nice of you. to a heavy metal concert in Copenhagen or anywhere else in Northern Europe because of the number of people that I met who probably have swords or battle axes. Like, I feel like about two thirds of the men I met could credibly have a battle axe at home. And I would believe it 100% I feel like it was my father's battle axe you were to Finland right?

sounds like you were in Finland that is the typical description of a Finnish guy you know 6'8 battle axe strapped to his back when I was in I want to say this might have been in Oslo, although it could have been in Stockholm. I had a meetup of Max Fun fans there, which we have a surprising number of fans there because everyone's English is better than mine.

And so I was at this and we met. It's better than me's, Jesse. How many people attend a Max? Do you call it a convention or a meet and greet? In a meetup. There's levels of Max fun event. There are cons and there are meetups. I mean like if we're in a city in a country that is not the United States, I think in wherever this was, it was either in Stockholm or Oslo, I think.

There was like 15 or 20 people. I mean, like not nothing, right? And one of the dudes was a competitive sword fighter. He was a Viking. He competed in Viking competitions where it's like – Throwing axes? Like fencing. No, with swords.

Swords. Hitting each other, putting on armor and hitting each other with swords. You're like, oh, sure. Yeah. Sure. Actually, okay, speaking of festivals. Yeah. You have Viking festivals.

So you have – People meet up and – So you have heavy metal festivals where there are nail hammering competitions and car destroying exhibitions. That's not a competition. That's just you can destroy a car for fun. The organization Wonderful Copenhagen, if they're listening right now and they want to get tourists to Copenhagen, this is the perfect kind of thing. Yes, we're your guys. We're your guys.

Yeah, exactly. There's some nice museums as well. Yeah, you can go to the nice museums. So those are your top things are going to be your heavy metal festivals. Yeah, weekly Iron Maiden concerts. Your car destroying. And then also you can rent a bicycle and you can just ride anywhere. Oh, that's nice.

You can get anywhere on a bicycle in Copenhagen. Someone will knock you off and destroy it. Yeah, sure. Well, if they have one of those battle hammers like that guy from Game of Thrones. Oh, by the way, all of the people on Game of Thrones are Danish. Yeah, they are. Every person on the show. So when you – I don't know.

You guys watch Game of Thrones over there and you – do you recognize people from like Danish sitcoms? Like what? I feel like – I don't understand the question. Oh, yeah. Are they like known Danish actors? Yeah, they really are. Nikolaj Koster Valdau.

Oh, right. Sure. He is one of the – Jamie Lannister. Exactly. One of the biggest Danish international actors. Yeah. He was sort of – he's sort of like the Danish three and a half men.

Ah, two and a half men. Two and a half men. Thank you. Well, he's the third. He's the third man. They really kicked it up a notch when they took it overseas. He's a tall guy. Ah, two and a half men. Two and a half men. Thank you. Well, he's the third. He's the third man. They really kicked it up a notch when they took it over. He's a tall guy,

so that's an extra man. And then there is Pilou Espek. Uh-huh. I don't recall that he's Game of Thrones name, but he came in in this season. He's the crazy bug-eyed ocean guy, right? Yeah.

The guy who is the king of octopus people. And he goes around screaming and killing people like those snake ladies. And then there are female eggs also. Yeah, that's it. I think we all know what you're talking about.

By the way, great job this season on Game of Thrones with giving everybody a signature weapon. Yep. And we have- Finally, it's more like Golden Axe. The guy playing the Russian president in House of Cards. I don't watch, but- He's Lars Mikkelsen.

Oh, okay. He's a Danish actor also. Here's the thing about the Danish entertainment industry. I've got a lot of experience with this, Jordan, because I was in Denmark for nearly a week. Who better? Yeah. And my experience was that because there's only, what, like 5 million people who speak Danish, like there will just be this person who looks like Jamie Lannister. be this person who looks like Jamie Lannister. And this guy will be like, oh, yeah, I host overnights on the radio station and I work

at the Kroger bagging groceries and I'm a movie star and I'm the president of Denmark. Just like they're just like everyone. Just like they're just like everyone. But what's crazy about it is also that because of that, like I went to the radio awards. Everyone at the radio awards is an eight or higher. Like you go to the American radio awards. Howard Stern may be the best looking person there. At the Danish radio awards, everyone looks like a Lannister.

There's no non-Lannisters there. There's no duds at the Danish Radio Awards. You should feel okay about loading the money. As you know about a Lannister, Game of Thrones. We only five, six million people in Denmark. So we're very proud. And when someone from Denmark gets some kind of success, we're really, yeah.

Yes. That's a nation. Exactly. Whoa, this is our guy. Yeah. Yeah. We feel that way about Steve Buscemi. He's America's greatest. Buscemi. He's America's greatest guy.

Buscemi. Yeah. And then we have Lars Ulrich from Metallica. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Anybody who, is he, now, is he Danish or is he just from Danish stock? He is Danish. Oh, okay.

He is. I didn't know that. He is. I heard a comic tell a story on stage. I won't say who it was, but it was a San Francisco, formerly San Francisco-based comic tell a story on stage. I won't say who it was, but it was a San Francisco, formerly San Francisco-based comic, tell a story on stage. Lars Ulrich came to the Punchline Comedy Club in San Francisco, saw his show, enjoyed it.

They made friends, and Lars Ulrich invited him back to his house. And at Lars Ulrich's house, you know what a cake pan is? Like a cake stand. It's made of silver, and then it holds the cake and then there's a dish that goes and covers the cake and you lift it up and he has that

but with a mound of cocaine. Whoa. That must have been in the old days, I think. Yeah, probably in the 90s. Yeah. Before Napster drove them to...

Yeah, exactly. Anders, can I ask you? I want to ask. So it's something that we met the first time when you were here last year. You came to watch a taping of At Midnight. Yep. And I guess this is something that you do when you come over here is you try and see American shows.

Exactly. And you try and see other parts of the entertainment industry. Yeah. Based on how you do things on your talk show, loosely translated, The Late Shift. What are some differences between Danish and American TV? We are only, as I said before, six million people. So they're still the standard definition.

And they address you by name. They do segments for individual people or households. It's much smaller productions. Everything is smaller. Yeah. It's much smaller productions Everything is smaller Yeah

And Yeah So And Because American television Has always been You know The inspiration

For European television All that So Yeah The inspiration In the old days Came from the US And still comes from the US

And a lot of the big You know Family entertainment shows Are the big American formats So There aren't really a big difference it's the production you know size of the productions and of course the money in the productions and then also that every year you get six months off to travel the world we only do yeah we we do 10 weeks in the winter slash spring and then we do

10 weeks in the autumn and then I'm off. I have my own production company though. Yeah, yeah. So we do other stuff but yeah. The rest of the time

is money counting time. It is. I wish. Do you have, on your show, do you have a signature segment like how, you know,

James Corden has Carpool Karaoke or, you know or Jimmy Fallon has Hungry Hungry Hippos. Like, what do you... Their signature segment is called Try to Find a Seven. It's where they go around trying to

find someone who's only pretty good looking. Oh, right. That's the Danish. We have several segments that are, you know, common. What do you call that? Recurring.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me see. We have, in Danish, it's viktig viden, liget det info. Sure. Yeah, exactly. I'm just going to stick with the Danish. Sure. Vigdividen, Liggyldivindu. Vigdividen, Liggyldi, Info.

Ananas, Jain Jews. That one is Anders is dumb. Exactly. The first one is Anders is ugly. The thing is about NetHall and Night Shift is that it's a clip. It is a talk show, but it's also a clip show. Okay. So it's very, yeah, it's clips, all kind of TV clips.

Just like, wasn't that show in the US called The Soup? Yeah. Yes, sure, sure. So I never really enjoyed The Soup, but it's, you know, it's a clip show. Sure. And then there's different guests every night. Oh, great. Yeah. And the guest is with me at the desk

for 25 minutes. So it's for the full show. And then we, you know, have these different kind of setups around the clips. So,

and we try to, you know, segment every, not every clip, of course, but, you know, a lot of clips in one segment

and so forth. Oh, cool. Oh, great. So, and have you had Game of Thrones people on the show? Nicolai Costa-Valdeau. Oh, wow. Mr. Lannister.

Now, how does he react to a clip? Is he good at it? He's very good at it. Really, really good at it. And he's very entertaining. But I used to do a radio show in the old days. And he's a very beautiful wife. I'm surprised to hear that.

Sure, yeah. It doesn't add up. He's probably got a good personality. We've been doing this show for seven years now. And he was on for the first time two years, a year and a half ago, something like that. And since we started in 2010, we asked him to come on the show. And he said no every time. And we just, hmm, have we said something about him?

Have we done something wrong? The other two Danish celebrities come on the show every year. Exactly, yeah. And then he showed up, and he was really good at the show. And then he said, yeah, but I still remember when we did a pretty successful radio show that ended in 2009. And in 2007 or 2008, we said something about his wife. Oh, no. Okay, okay, okay.

And he said, I still remember that. And my wife, she was really – she didn't feel good about that. And I was like, oh, sorry. Someone should have told us or sent us an email or something. Then we would apologize right away. And she's very beautiful, very talented. I don't know her. But she seems very nice.

Yeah, yeah. And he is a very nice guy. And he has been a lot of times. I think he's been all over the American late night shows. Yeah, yeah. And he's very funny. And yeah, he's very entertaining. And yeah, he's, yeah, very entertaining. And he is really a nice guy.

Have you thought about, now, again, I don't know every segment on your show. But from what you, from what I've gathered from this conversation, there's a point of pride in your country about car destroying. Have you thought about maybe making that your signature segment? You know, you have the guest on, you banter, you show clips, make jokes about the clips, and then someone rolls on a car and then you and the guest spend the final 10 minutes of the show just going to fucking town on this thing. Yeah.

Hammers, battle axes, bring in all the Viking weaponry. Whatever you've got at home, just bring it. Just bring it to destroy the car. I'm going to do notes now. You're making a note on your phone. I'm going to do notes, yeah. Great. That's a very good idea.

I mean, as someone who has worked in America lately, I can consult. And you're out of work? I'm out of, as of this taping, yeah. I am, so. Could you, I don't know how it is for U.S. citizens to work in Denmark, but you could maybe go – we were starting up here in the middle of September.

Sure, yeah. So you could come work. Segment producer. I would love to, yeah. So you're the segment producer of the – what are we going to call the segment? Anders, I have an idea. I don't know how to say it in Danish, but it's destroying cars with weapons that you brought from home, right? Yeah, that's the name of the segment.

Let's just call it Typical Danish Sunday. Let's call this segment Danish Lilith Fair. It is a yearly event. It's a festival. Right. And we just drive around the country. Yeah. All over Denmark.

And yeah, it's going to work out fine. It would be a European car though, Jordan. It would be an Opel or something. Okay, yeah. So yeah, maybe 10 minutes is a little generous. Maybe it'll be like a seven-minute segment. Yeah, I think so. But I think that could be your James Corden driving and singing.

Sure, yeah. Are we singing while we're smashing things? Are we singing? Oh, yeah, sure. Typical Danish Viking songs. Who's the Danish Adele? Can we get the Danish Adele? That would be...

I don't know. We don't have a Danish Adele. Yeah, I'm sorry. Sorry we brought it up. You don't have to be sorry. But I'm sure if the scorpions are on hand Yeah Scorpions are probably around

What are they up to? Yeah Judas Priest They played there Three years ago Wow That's who you want Destroying your car

And I live nearby The harbor where The festival is held And I could hear The Judas Priest And now I can't remember What is the biggest Judas Priest song or the biggest. It's just Breaking

the Law. Yeah. I can smash a car to that. I was making dinner for the kids. I interviewed Rob Halford of Judas Priest. The front man of Judas Priest about his Christmas solo album. It came out a few years ago.

And I can – I have talked to several metal guys who have independently brought up to me how much that album fucking rules. Apparently metal guys – that is not a jokey cash-in. But to the metal guys I've talked to, that is a legit great metal album i i certainly enjoyed listening to it and i can say this about rob halford of judas priest perhaps the most charming man alive like he is such a delight he is such a lovely guy but also so totally metal like he is 60 or 65 i don't know how old Rob Halford of Judas Priest is, but somewhere around there. And he is

just hilarious, but also carries with him at all times a secret, only slightly hidden metal hyperintensity. Like at any moment he could explode into metal,

but he's being incredibly genial at any given second. Yeah. Rob Halford, one of the best people I've ever interviewed for Bullseye. Just a joy. I'm sorry. So you're trying to sleep and you're getting rocked by this music festival that's going on outside your window. No, it was just, you know, I could just hear Judas Priest. And then the year before, after that,

Iron Maiden played. Oh, yeah. I've never been to the, we've been talking about this festival for, what, 40 minutes now? And I've never been there. Well, I mean, it's becoming increasingly obvious this is the only interesting thing in all of Denmark.

Yeah. Yeah. And, of course, all the lovely sights of Copenhagen. Were you doing the tours, too, when you were there, Jason? I did a lot of walking. I spent about a week walking, and I had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful city.

Yeah, it is. Beautiful city. It is. I was sad I didn't get to go to the Willemsen Museum. It's outside of town, and I didn't have a day to spare. You know how that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What would you suggest if, because I have never been.

I have never been to anywhere in that zone. What does one do when one visits for the first time? You eat and eat and eat and eat. Okay. The restaurants in Copenhagen are – yeah, one of the – three or four or five of them are voted top 10, top 15. The best restaurants in the world. Okay. So the whole food scene is very, very big.

And all the Michelin stars. You have Michelin stars here, of course. Yeah. And were you at some of the... I went to one of them. I don't recall what it was called, however. There is Noma. Okay.

Which was voted best restaurant in the world five years in a row, I think. Yeah, but you can't. It's hopeless to try and go there. Exactly. I mean, not for honor's sake. Sure. Reinhold. I've never been there.

Hello. I'm calling for lunch. I've been there for lunch. I'm calling from the night shift. I'd like a table. They say, how many tables would you like? I would say, fuck off. How much in a year?

Do you need tables for your security details, sir? I went to a restaurant that was Michelin starred, that was by a guy from Noma who wasn't the Noma guy. And it was on an island in an abandoned warehouse. Whoa. I went by myself because I have no friends. Even in America, I have no friends. So to expect me to have friends in Copenhagen is absurd. I went by myself to this restaurant.

In an old warehouse? In an abandoned warehouse on a wharf on an island in the middle. It's like literally you cross four bridges and they just drop you off in a bunch of giant warehouses where they're building ships. And I sat down and I was inspired by you, actually, Jordan. You, years ago, introduced me to the concept of the shameless solo fans, which a solo fans is where you go to a fancy restaurant by yourself and read a book while eating fancy restaurant food. And they seated me by the kitchen. Fun fact, also works at Wingstop. You can also do that at a Wingstop.

And the most exciting part of it was the cooking. It was an open kitchen, and the cooking was very theatrical. And because Copenhagen is a legendary food city, people from all over the world are working in this kitchen, including a lot of Americans. And just the sous chef or whatever would like yell out a thing. And then literally a thousand people in the kitchen would go like, yes, chef. a thousand people in the kitchen would go like, yes, chef! And it was like being on a Viking ship

with someone calling out the rowing. Sure. It would have been Noma. You were at Noma, I think. I was not at Noma. I was not at Noma. It was a guy who had been at Noma, and then he went and started a different restaurant. Everyone says that they have been at Noma. On a weird island.

On a weird island. On a weird island. And it had stars. I want to say it had two stars. What are the... It wasn't at a football stadium, no. No, it was not at a football stadium. Jesus Christ! Are you listening to my story at all?

Noma was... It's on a weird island by where they build ships. Yeah, but it was located. Noma had that kind of location. Well, it wasn't Noma. Fucking hell. Anders, I think he was at Noma. I think he was at Noma.

You should go to a restaurant called A.O. I think he was at Noma. Hold on. I wasn't at Noma. Here's the confusion. I was in the NoHo Arts District in North Hollywood, California. You're probably at the Pie Hole. I was in the Pie Hole in NoHo, North Hollywood. You should go to AOC.

Oh, really? Two stars. We have an AOC here in LA. Whoa. It is a very good restaurant. But anyway. This is named after the two guys that started the restaurant. Okay.

And then you should go to Kiranium. Mm-hmm. That is- We are not doing flower stuff anymore. Okay. And then you should go to Geranium. Mm-hmm. That is... We are not doing flower stuff anymore. Sorry. And then Söllerødkro, which is a 30-minute drive from Copenhagen. An old...

Okay. That's French food. It's nice it's a 30-minute drive. We could use the 30 minutes to try and learn how to say the name of the restaurant. Yeah. Just work on our pronunciation the whole time. Yeah. to try and learn how to say the name of the restaurant. Yeah. Just work on our pronunciation the whole time.

Yeah. Let's listen to a tape with the name of the restaurant. Let's go to the Michelin guide and then they will help you out. Yeah. Yeah. So that's – And what are the dishes? What do I need to get before leaving Copenhagen? The dishes?

Yeah. What are the best foods to get? Is there anything you can't? At Noma, the idea is they go and wander into the woods and scrape some moss onto a piece of bark and then bring it back to you and serve it to you, right? Ants, raw shrimps, all that. The thing is about a lot of the restaurants, what they serve is they have a tasting menu. And then you make it. Maybe they serve you 25 servings or something like that.

Oh, wow. 15 servings. And then you have a nice vine menu going with the tasting menu. And so it's not snacks, but it's not full. Yeah, like smaller plates. Exactly. So you get all kinds of different tastes, and it's really, really good. The thing that impressed me about being out and about in Copenhagen was everyone is so good-looking, and everyone is so fit.

Do you really think so? Yes. Everyone is so good-looking, and everyone is so fit. However, at any time. You disagree that people are fit. At any time. At any time. It depends on which part of the city you are.

Sure. There's the fit district. I guess if you spend your whole weekend smashing cars, you at least works that upper body. You don't have to go to CrossFit anymore. You just. Right. You smash the car and then flip upper body. You don't have to go to CrossFit anymore. You just... Right. You smash the car and then flip the tire over as many times as you can. You stayed at Nurbull, right? The part of the city? Sure.

I believe that. Because I remember the part of the city where you slept. There's a big gang war going on at the moment. Really? Oh boy. The thing is, is everyone is good looking and fit, including the gang members. Let's not put down the gang members.

Very young and very fit. Including everyone at the shawarma place. By the way, in Copenhagen, I'm mostly at shawarma. Okay. But the distinguishing characteristic of them is the combination of that and the fact that at any time of day, people are both drinking and smoking. Like at the same time, all day long, everyone in the entire city is both drinking and smoking.

It is like madmen in minimalist sportswear. Like replace the suit and tie with like a clean lines, like a modern, like a navy blue polo shirt, and that's what you're looking at. Yeah. Well, you are literally wearing navy blue. Yeah, you are literally wearing. I am smoking. Yeah.

He's usually in no smoking situation. We made an exception. We didn't want to be culturally insensitive. Yeah. It is really something, that Copenhagen. You know, done. I'm going. That's my next.

Okay. Let's take a quick break so Jordan can go to Copenhagen. Yeah. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jesse Go. Hey, Jordan Jesse Go listeners. It's Jesse here. We've got two sponsors on this week's program. Our first, Chubbies. How many of us have spent our weekends in pants that constrict our legs or in weird, gross cargo shorts?

Well, good news. Chubbies have something a little more comfortable and a little more stylish for you. They make short pants. They make casual shirts. They make casual shirts.

Urgent. That's a sense of urgency. And a little sexy. It is pretty sexy. A little sexy. Yeah. I like an EMT. Yeah, sure. Who doesn't?

Yeah. I'll tell you who loves an EMT. Somebody in the midst of a medical emergency. Yeah. I like an EMT. Yeah, sure. Who doesn't? Yeah. I'll tell you who loves an EMT. Somebody in the midst of a medical emergency. Sure. They're going to need some oxygen or whatever. I don't know what that T stands for. Honk, honk. I don't know what that means.

Yeah. When something momentous happens to you, like you have a rendezvous with a sexy EMT. We ask you to call us at 206-984-4FUN for our signature segment, Momentous Occasions. Or in Danish, here's our first call. Hey, Jordan, Jesse, go. This is Sam in Utah. I was just driving down the mountain road that I live on,

and at one of the trailheads, there was like 10 or 12 goth kids with their camelbacks and water bottles. It looks like they're going for a fun hike, a little summertime goth hike. Thanks, guys. Yeah, goths at the beach are old news. Hiking goths is the new shit. I imagine that you have goths in your part of the world. We have.

Unfortunately, we don't have a goth festival Yeah Maybe next summer I don't know Yeah we have goth people But didn't all the goth people disappear Ten years five seven years ago No goth people are forever Yeah yeah I don't think they die

I think it GFF Goth friends forever Yeah I don't think they die. I think it ebbs. B. Viv, Goth, B. Viv. GFF. Yeah, GFF. Gothreds forever. Yep. Yeah. I think Goth.

That's the best thing we've thought of in like three years. Yeah, it sure is. Gothreds forever. New merchandise. New merchandise. Yeah, new shirts. Yeah, exactly. Let's see those GFF tats on you Gothies. Get it right under your white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. Yeah, exactly. Let's see those GFF tats on you gothies. Get it right under your white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.

Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I mean, I think goth kind of ebbs and flows. I think there are boom times and there are bust times for goth. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I am seeing more goths in the wild these days. Yeah, I think there are more new teen goths. I think teenage Gotham took a turn downwards when it became associated with mass killings.

Sure, yes. But then in the years since, it has come once again to be associated with individual deaths, peaceful deaths. Sure. Right. As it was meant to be associated. Sort of Victorian style, peaceful release of death. And I think that, yeah, and I think that the great part about goths or like having goths in your community is kind of what this guy describes is that like when you see them doing anything that is not moping, it is fucking awesome. Yeah, I think obviously I've talked about this on the show before, but we went to we had a very, very goth guy in our dorms. You know, like he had on like he wore like kiss boots around.

Like this is how goth this man was. He wore the like platform monster boots, you know, around. Yeah, just for whatever. Yeah, sure. Over to his buddy's yurt. Leather duster fucking goth. And, but I mean, whenever I saw him in the dining hall,

he was eating a waffle. And one time I saw him eating a waffle and drinking a Sprite. And I'm like, oh, that's the fucking best because you're a goth guy. Yeah, there was a girl in my high school. There was a variety of different interesting goths in my high school.

It being one of the – I mean when we were in high school in the late 1990s was one of the past peaks of goth. Absolutely. A sort of industrial goth. Yeah, that's when your Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Mansons were just like regular pop culture things. They weren't niche. There was a beautiful girl who was like a year older than I was. And she may even have been in the theater department. I don't remember in my high school.

But she wore like a latex cat suit to school every day. And it was amazing. The commitment is amazing. You admire the commitment. I couldn't even decide if I was... One of two. I couldn't even decide if I was nerdy or artsy.

And she is like, oh, here's what I am. A person who wears a vinyl catsuit, a rubber catsuit, a rubber catsuit to school every day. In Denmark, is the weather – what is the weather for like and is it – would it be kind to someone with the goth aesthetic? Nope. Not really.

Okay. Yeah. Uncomfortable. Yeah. Uncomfortable. I think a lot of the goths in Denmark are seafaring goths. Oh, sure. of a lot of the goths in Denmark are seafaring goths

oh sure yeah nautical goth they can go north with the summer yeah the goth environment I don't I don't really

see them anymore yeah oh interesting the two goth people that were in Copenhagen no no we don't see them I think the main thing that would be interesting

to see a goth person do in Copenhagen is ride a sensible bicycle. Sure, yeah. Like with a basket. In a vital catsuit, of course. Yeah. I think like one of the top things if you're American and you're in Copenhagen is just the amount of different types of clothes you can ride a sensible bicycle around Copenhagen in. Yeah. Like just, you know, somebody's wearing a, like it's like these are the people in your

neighborhood from Sesame Street. Sure, yeah. But they're all riding, like, oh, there's a fireman in a full fireman suit riding a sensible bicycle. A baker holding a tray of buns with a little steam coming off. There's a baby riding a sensible bicycle. Like every member of the community, they're all riding on a sensible bicycle. And a

female doctor. Yes. Because women can be doctors too. I agree. I agree with you on that, George. Thank you for that round of applause too. You're welcome. You're welcome, buddy. You're the real hero. Thanks. Well, you and women doctors. That's right.

But mostly you for celebrating women doctors. Thank you. You're welcome. I'm creating awareness. Let's take another momentous occasion call. Hi, Jordan. Hi, Jesse. Got a momentous occasion. I have had a slow drain in my bathroom to the point that I could not

use my sink for like a year. And today I took it apart. And what i found inside was a entire razor so that was a fun experience um but my sink works now uh anyway thought you might be interested uh thanks you're welcome yeah i mean i applaud I applaud this guy for doing the home improvement project himself. I love it. Lord knows I'd like to be more handy around the house. God, I'd love to watch a YouTube video and then accomplish something.

But he waited a year. He had a non-working sink for a year. What are you getting water in? Where do you wash your hands? How many sinks do you have to where one can just be functionless and it's not a big deal? A year. Was there gross water in there the whole time? It is a remarkable turn of events.

His commitment to not fixing it is the true story here. I think you're right that it is fake news that he accomplished something in light of the fact that for a year he accomplished nothing. He resolutely accomplished nothing. He lives alone. Yeah. It's probably a safe assumption. His roommates have moved out. Yes.

Yes. Because of the foul standing water in the bathroom. Yeah. Maybe it could be a goth thing. This could be another goth call. His goth roommates moved out. Yeah, he's probably a beautiful hairless goth. Yeah, sure.

That's why he's using all those razors and just dumping them down the sink. Gotta be smooth. How did he? Smooth as death. Hey. Smooth like a skeleton. I would like to hear a goth romantic like, romantic call-in request show. Oh, sure.

Like, hey, it's me, Mortimer P. Darkness. Yeah. You're listening. And this was a shout-out for Lil Raven. Lil Raven. Lil Raven. This is Skinny Puppy. Yeah, right.

I think that would be a lot of fun. Yeah. It took me a minute to think of a goth thing. Skinny Puppy was good. I was going to say Bauhaus. Sure. Both are good. Both are good.

Congratulations to both. Pretty good pulls for two guys who don't necessarily like that sort of thing. Even though one of the two guys thinks probably inappropriately too much about that girl in high school who always wore a final body suit. Sure. Okay. If you have a momentous occasion, do give us a call, 206-984-4FUN. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse, go.

It is not about the space shuttle Discovery. It is not about any kind of actual Discovery. That's right. It's about a pay-to-watch Star Trek series. That probably no one will watch. But we're watching it, Ben. We're watching it every week and we're talking about it and giving it the classic greatest gen treatment. What is that treatment, you ask?

Reibald jokes and very puerile sex puns. It's what we do. It's just two buddies joking around about Star Trek. A thing they love but are a little bit embarrassed to love. You don't have to know anything about Star Trek to love the show. So download our podcast every Tuesday at MaximumFun.org or wherever you get your podcasts. It'll be great. Hey, this is Griffin McElroy.

A lot of people think this is a domestic program, Jordan. International program. This week's episode. That's what Pitbull stole his name from. This show was Mr. International. Then Pitbull came along. Yeah. Ganked our style. A lot of people don't know this, but before we started doing this show in America, we

were Hong Kong action stars. Right. Exactly. So we have worldwide box office clout. Yeah. We're probably biggest in India. Yeah. But after that-

Copenhagen, Denmark. Copenhagen, Denmark. That's number two. And number three is going to be Djibouti. There you go. That's all I. And number three is going to be Djibouti. There you go. That's all I got. Yeah. Just wanted to say the name of a city that sounds funny if an English-speaking American person says it.

Sure does. Lake Titicaca. Anyway. Sure. You got it. It's a lake, not a city. You know where I'm going. Yeah.

But you know where the train is headed. Choo-choo. Yeah. Anders, what a joy to have you on the program. Thank you. Thank you very much for having me. I would ask you to plug something. You, when we became friends in Denmark, you were kind enough to follow me on Twitter.

I followed you on Twitter, then realized all your tweets were in Danish. Are you still following me? No. No, I haven't followed you. I felt bad. I felt bad. I felt bad about it. You can translate it now. My best friend in the U.S. unfollowed me.

I know. I know. But we do have listeners in that part of the world, apparently. So if you do have Danish television, is there something people should tune into? Yeah, it is. Your show, probably. Your show. Tune into my show. It is. Your show, probably. Your show. Your show.

Tune into my show. That would be – Just watch it. Yeah. And the news at 7 and all that. Yeah. Stay tuned for your local news, everybody. Or Dancing with the Stars.

Oh, great show. Great show. Very great television. Yeah. A lot of good shows out there. Yeah. I think probably even more than The Night Shift, I would say Dancing with the Stars, right? Because it's got the stars on it.

Not that you don't have – I've been asked. Nicholas Winding Refn. You've been asked to be on Dancing with the Stars? But you turned it down? Yes. Why? Both times.

What was the thinking behind it? Because I think I'm too young to do it. Okay. Maybe in 10, 15 years. I don't know. And then I really can't dance. And then I said that the salary, they should call back. It's a public joke that everyone says when they've been asked if they want to participate in Dancing with the Stars that they want a million Danish kroner.

And then they start, you you know raising the salary so now some people get a million oh boy and the problem is we said yeah call back when I'm ready when you're going to pay me a million

yeah yeah and the problem is that they do that now so now you have to say I will do it if you pay me two million and probably they will pay people

two million in a year and a half or next season the season after that so now it's just you don't have to call anymore maybe in five years yeah and everything is going down and the show has been canceled and all that then i'm more than ready to go there for a hundred thousand but okay all right but honors this is a yeah this is strategic you're just holding out for the right time the right amount of money. It's not so much an issue of the salaries or the place in your career. The problem is hyperinflation.

There's been a run on the banks because of your unstable economy. Is that what the issue is? I mean, just people have 10 million kroner bills and they can't even get anyone to – everyone's assets are in gold bars now. Well, and everybody's – and the government is paying Motley Crue to reunite. Right. Right within earshot of your house. Yeah. No, that's not going to be an issue.

I'm not going to be on Dancing with the Stars. You're more of a Big Brother guy. Yeah. I'm much more like a Big Brother guy. Or what do you call it? Survivor? Yeah. You've got Survivor

in the US, right? We sure do. People are still surviving. If you're in Denmark and you don't want to watch the night shift with Anders, that's not the only way

you can catch Anders. You could also catch him on Danish Family Feud. Sure. Yeah. As NHB should be clear. It's called Family Feud. And we should be clear.

Family Feud. Not as the host, as a contestant. Exactly. He, his mother, brother, wife, and three beautiful children. Just, and funny as the day is long, just so precocious. These kids say the craziest stuff and Steve Harvey, who hosts Danish Family Feud as well,

Steve Harvey will give a take to the camera like, what? I can't believe it. Me? A homophobe? He's homophobic. Steve Harvey, we don't care for him. But fun. I like when he makes a take to the camera, but against his homophobia. Yeah.

Storage wars? We don't have storage wars in Denmark. Do you have a – We don't have a Danish – we have the international version, but not the local version. You know a television show I watch – there's two television shows I watch the international version of. television shows I watch the international version of. I watch Canadian Pickers, the Canadian version of American Pickers, which is a show where two antiques goobers travel the country buying – like in Canada, they buy a lot of cowboy lassoes and then in america they mostly buy old gasoline pumps from uh like old old men who whose wives have died and have nothing left to live for but their storage units on their

farms in iowa and then i also watch antiques roadshow which is like a fancy version of that do you have either of those formats antique road? We have an antique roadshow. Is it called Antiques Roadshow? Antiques Roadshow, yeah. We have that in Denmark. Yeah, I'd watch the shit out of that. Give me some subtitles. I'm watching fucking Danish Antiques Roadshow. And you people show up with that old watch

or an old painting or whatever. Fucking Royal Copenhagen. Yeah. What is it worth? Nothing. Okay. Then I'm going to keep it to myself. Yeah, do that.

Sounds like the same as ours. It is. Yeah, yeah. I like that the Danish Antiques Roadshow is just bleak. Like, it's an existential crisis. Like, American Antiques Roadshow is all about everyone getting excited that their shit's worth so much. In Denmark, it's just about crushing people. Yeah, sure.

Like a car at a metal festival. And they're like, what did you expect in winter? Our days are at seven hours long. Yeah, well, Anders, it's been a joy to have you on the program. Thank you for coming. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. And you're more than welcome to drop by the

late shift or something else when you're in Copenhagen. Well, that's a hollow promise, but we're very grateful for it anyway. And when you say drop by, what you mean is that there is some... Usually there's a janitorial team, but usually someone's out sick because of the socialized

work schedule. You know, everybody gets eight weeks of vacation. So there's five guys, but usually somebody's out. So grab a broom and pitch it. Is basically what you're saying. Danny Baruella on the boards this week. Our producer Sonny D, Brian Fernandez, back, back from England. Better than ever?

Yes. We'll find out, won't we? We will. We're going to do a full battery of tests. Let's see, yeah. We're going to put him through an NFL-style scouting combine and see how that triple jump is doing. If you want to talk about Jordan Jesse Go Online, that's great. We encourage you to do so.

Be neat. Hashtag it JJGo on Twitter. Like us on – what's that website called? Facebook. Yeah, you got it. That's the one I'm talking about. MaximumFun.reddit.com on Reddit. Did you see the guy who posted the It poster that says, It me, I'm Matt?

Sure did. And did you notice that you can just barely see the reflections of our faces in the red balloon? Just the little details. Oh, my goodness. What a gorgeous piece of work. Good meme. Thank you to you, sir or madam. Yeah.

That's all. That's all. We'll talk to you next time on Jordan, Jessica. Bye. Bye. Maximumfun.org. That's all. That's all. I will talk to you next time on Jordan, Jessica.
