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 Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Jesse Thorne out dealing with some family stuff this week, but he will be back as soon as he is able.
But we will soldier on here at Jordan Jesse Goh because, well, it's the life we've chosen for ourselves. Is it honorable? No, absolutely not. But we will fuck around because we've been compelled to fuck around these past 13 years, and gosh darn it, we're not about to let that streak go without a fight. Um, in Jesse's place, I have two of my,
uh, two of my absolutely favorite, uh, funny people and, uh, people you have heard on this
program before, and I'm sure you will be excited to hear our back. Uh, our first guest today is a,
uh, comic and improviser whose credits include the UCB Theater, the Asian AF Comedy Tour, and the really terrific podcast Everything is Rent, Sarah Claspel.
Hi, Sarah. Welcome back to the show.
Hi. Thanks for having me. I'm so honored to be one of your favorite funny people.
Sure. Yeah.
What a dream.
Yeah. I don't throw around that label willy-nilly.
Well, I've got something to journal about tonight.
I tell you what.
I love knowing I made it in the journal.
Yeah, there's not a lot.
It's just the things that I'm cooking right now and then who thinks I'm nice.
So you've made it.
Yes.
I'm right there next to curry experiment.
Honestly, you are. I've got a great curry recipe. Hit me up.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Our second guest is a beloved regular on this show. He is a stand-up
comic and podcaster who has a new stand-up comedy special out called Rescue Cactus that you can buy
or rent now.
Chris Fairbanks, Chris Fairbanks, welcome back to the show.
Hey, Jordan.
How's it going, buddy?
Oh, it's going okay.
I wanted to open up today's chat by telling you guys about a little journey that I have
been on, an unexpected journey, if you will.
been on, an unexpected journey, if you will. But before I lay this all out for you, I wanted to ask you guys what your experience slash toleration level is like for the Lord of the Rings,
Hobbit universe of products. I thought you were going to ask me if I've accepted Jesus Christ as my savior.
It really seemed like you were going on a spiritual.
It seemed like I was going there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Better Scientology.
Yeah.
The show has really changed since you've been on last, Chris.
God.
I mean, if we're talking Lord of the Rings, it honestly might be spiritual.
For many, yes.
Yeah.
Have you heard the good news about Gandalf?
I don't mean to bother you, but do you have a few minutes to hear about Gandalf the Grey?
This Bible was left here by the hobbits.
Yeah.
Are you guys, did you guys read Tolkien as a kid?
Did you see the movies?
Uh, uh, yeah.
What's your, what's your experience with this stuff?
Um, I've seen all the movies, uh, and love them.
I think they're great.
Even the Hobbit, which is, uh, kind of boring and should not have been more than one movie.
I loved it.
There's songs and stuff in it.
So that always wins me over.
I didn't read the books,
but I read The Hobbit like 1 billion years ago
when I was, do you guys know how old I am?
In the age of the first men, when the Ents,
sorry, I'm going to stop trying to do that.
That's how old I was.
It was in the age of the first men.
I was in sixth grade.
But yeah. And I, I've watched like the first or second movie, like the extended cut that is like
so many hours long and they're great. Yeah. What is, what's the difference between the
extended cut and the theatrical cut? There's just more information.
Good. I think that is what those movies are light on is
information. Yeah. You know what I hate about the Lord of the Rings movies is there's not enough
terms. There's not enough people to learn about. You don't know the history of every single article
of clothing. And thank God the extended cut gets that. Yeah. I mean, I think I think obviously what
we're missing is I think when you walked out of those movies, you know,
in the late 90s or whenever they were released,
you were like, that was good,
but I wanted to hear more about the power vacuum in Gondor.
So, okay, so it sounds like you like these.
Are these something that you've like, are you like,
do you rewatch them periodically?
Do you stop when they're on TV? Or do you just like go in the theater and then leave them behind?
I've rewatched a couple here and there, but it's been years.
I just watched all of the Harry Potter films recently and had that thought of like,
we got to do Lord of the Rings next. So maybe I'll rewatch them by the end of this podcast.
I will have rewatched all of the movies. So that's how long this is, right?
These are, yeah, these are, these are 12 hour podcasts.
Good. Yes. Perfect.
Chris, do you, have you ever ingested this stuff?
Chris, have you ever ingested this stuff?
I mean, as a young person, my first job at a T-shirt shop,
I did a series of Bilbo Baggins Hobbit T-shirts.
And then I did the voice of a troll for Nintendo's GameCube game,
the Two Towers game.
Wait, hold on.
That's amazing. Really? Yeah.
Why do I not know this about you?
I don't know.
Because the GameCube, I was embarrassed
because it seemed like that was a failure console.
They had some good games.
But yeah, it was one of the troll...
It was me and then two other giant truck driver guys.
This was back when I lived in Austin.
There was a lot of voiceover work that would just come to us as stand-ups there.
I kind of miss how easy it was to drunkenly stumble onto paid work there.
And because it's Austin and every other building is a bar, you are constantly drunk.
Yeah, it's really an accepted lifestyle there.
But I...
I talk like this in the hall.
Is there meat in your pocket?
Like that's basically...
That's really good.
I had to drink a lot of water and I had a sore throat for days, but it was hours of, uh, I think it was just interstitial play.
Most of it, you know, where you watch a scene play out.
Um, but I have, I've only watched a couple of the movies.
Uh, and, and even when I was trying to remember if I had watched it, I was thinking of, uh, the movie Willow.
So I'm, I am a little embarrassed.
I know they're good.
And I'm surprised to hear Sarah that they're singing, singing in the new Hobbit.
It's like a musical.
Um, God, I wish it was a musical.
No, it's, it's more of, uh, like the, I can't, the hobbits or no, there's a group of people or non non people beings that like have little dirges.
Thank you. That's actually what they that's what they prefer, Sarah.
Yeah.
Don't call our pecs.
What if everything I referenced was from Willow?
I yeah, that's interesting. What if everything I referenced was from Willow?
Yeah, that's interesting.
I did not know.
I didn't get caught up in it.
I've, of course, seen the first, you know, the one.
I know Ian McClellan is in it and Rudy from Goonies is in it. But I have not.
I never got that into it.
And I think you know about me that i'm not a huge reader
as i've already proven uh just in the last five minutes but yeah i i wasn't too
into it but i am proud i am glad that i got to drop that i was in that game i wish i had a sample
of were those actual lines was you were you just riff, is there meat in your pocket? Or did you actually say, is there meat in your pocket?
There was a lot of talk of mutton.
Right.
Where's the mutton?
Like I was constantly yelling about meat in someone's pocket.
Like these trolls in the game, at least, are constantly looking for pocket meat.
And it seems like a specific cut of meat.
I don't know much.
There wasn't an origin backstory they supplied us with.
I just yelled and then was able to do that with my voice.
But it was really fun.
It's one of the many things that I did there.
And a lot of voiceover for anime
that was in a Japanese
and then we would just react
to it and I
wish I had samples of that stuff
so badly but
you know it's hard to go back
20 years and ask for
a demo tape. Chris I guarantee
you someone listening
has that GameCube game.
Yeah, yeah.
So if you want to give out your P.O. box,
someone will mail it to you.
Over the years, I've discovered
that people do know about it,
and it was the two towers.
Of course, Lord of the Rings loosely based on 9-11 but i i haven't uh i haven't ever
played it or you know you know mark walberg could have stopped
he was there if mark walberg was at the siege of helms deep he could have stopped at least it's
not the rock you know the rock all he's gonna do is let everyone die and only save his immediate family that's a uh san andreas reference i don't know if you guys uh it's also a skyscraper
reference yeah it's it's you're right in my wheelhouse let's talk the rock movies
that's so great um okay so i i as a kid when you are a when a kid, when you're a nerdy child, which I was, very clearly, I think I presented as a nerdy child.
hands all the time by every relative who like doesn't know what to get you for a birthday or like you know a librarian who's trying to encourage you like like oh look at this
dorkus like here you go take this elf book like right i i i had you know i i had it pushed on
me so hard and i i remember sitting down to read the hobbit as a kid and just being like
fuck this this is so boring i don't know any of these words um and just and just like resenting
every time someone told me oh you you haven't you haven't read the hobbit like oh that's the worst
you you because it says a lot about how they perceive you, too, of like, you are definitely a nerd.
You belong in this world.
Yeah, exactly.
And then the movies came out when I was in high school.
And I went, I remember going to a midnight show with my buddy, Ryan Christian, who was a super Tolkien guy.
who was like a super Tolkien guy and like falling asleep and then waking up and like the movie still had an hour left and just being mad and I'm like I like like like just thinking that it sucked not
you know not being able to follow anything and then also just like because they were such a
phenomenon like people would just tell me that I looked like a hobbit all the time yeah jordan who's that actor
that everyone always came up to you not john c reilly but there was some actor that
and every time they said you look like that and you're like yes thank you a guy who's known for
being strange looking thank you like it's a guy with white curly hair i forget i get a couple i get like
i get at the height of the osbournes i got jack osborne all the time oh sure okay i got yeah i
get that there's like like older people like to tell me that i look like michael j pollard
the comic relief from bonnie and clyde yes yes. And at this point in my life, you know,
I have come to accept that I do look a little hobbity.
I have curly, long curly hair.
And I do, I have a hobbit's energy.
I just have it.
It comes out.
I do.
I seem like a man who eats a meal between breakfast and brunch
and there's no shade to that um especially right now i'm eating six or seven meals full meals a
day sure now yeah now the hobbit diet doesn't seem that weird does it um so yeah i've come to like
accept it but at the time i was just like a self-conscious virgin and didn't want to be told I looked like anything because it it just implied that it would be longer until I had sex.
But I there was that I think it was Bonnie and Clyde Pollard was on and he's young in it.
He's like maybe not even 30.
Yeah.
And he was not a bad looking dude.
He, and he does look like you.
I saw that and I said, okay, this is actually kind of strange.
Certainly related.
It looks like he could possibly be.
Why am I?
That sounded like Yoda, but you know what I'm saying.
Certainly related.
He could possibly be.
And begun the Clone Wars have.
Yeah.
Look like Michael J. Pollard you do.
And begun the Clone Wars have.
Pod race we will.
But yeah, yeah.
That famous Yoda line, pod race we will.
Thank God he didn't have to be in that movie.
Yeah, yeah. line pod race we will thank god he didn't have to be in that movie um yeah yeah i was surprised that he was like i i dare i say handsome yeah i'm okay looking like look looking like michael j
paul or looking like you know michael i'm fine with that i think i'm coming to grips with like
what i look like uh finally at 38 and just like being okay with it. Yeah. And yeah, so I was able, so I don't like Lord of the Rings.
I don't like it.
And when the Hobbit movies came out, I was like, God, they're going to do more of these.
And so, yeah, so I've never seen any of the Hobbits.
And I, so I, so, so, so cut to now.
I'm saying cut to, by the way.
And I have, I have a job where I have to write a movie and I don't know how to do it.
So I have been like kind of sitting down and watching like classic movies and taking, taking note of the structure.
So like taking, like watching famous movies and like, you know,
saying like,
oh, when does Humphrey Bogart,
like when in the story
does Humphrey Bogart
find the Maltese Falcon?
Like where in the story
does the alien meet the predator
for the first time?
I actually,
just a small aside,
but I recently did this as well.
I'm working,
I'm writing a movie
just for no one.
No one cares except for me.
But I rewatched Girls Trip trip which is a good classic movie uh to look at the structure so
yes yeah when uh yeah when you're done with maltese falcon hit up girls trip for sure
yeah and they get like when does the zipline urination scene
that's what we call the mcguffin yeah so it pisses off a zipline
maybe the hardest i've laughed in the theater in my adult life i mean
i lost my mind i loved it so much so funny
anyway so i and i'm like okay well i have to do this i have to do
and i'm like okay so i have to do this i have to do and i'm like okay so i have to write
a movie where people go on an adventure where they you know here and back again they start at home
they go off on adventure they come back so i'm like oh well that's the whole thing with the lord
that's the whole thing here and back again you know so i'm like okay i'll sit down and watch one
of these fucking lord of the rings movies you know again so i turned it on and at the end i was like
holy shit i loved that i fucking loved it i the sam frodo stuff made me cry oh yeah straight up
cry in my living room into a cat like and i i like i am just so Hobbit wild now.
So I'm doing a thing where I'm doing
rings Hobbit, rings Hobbit.
I watched the first Hobbit movie.
And yeah, there's so much unnecessary shit in that movie.
The big joke about it is there's a scene
where dwarves sing a dishwashing song
that does not move the plot.
And I'm like, I love that dishwashing song.
That dishwashing song is so fucking good.
You gotta make a full movie that's just those.
Just the song.
Yes, absolutely.
Wait, are you sure this wasn't Whistle While You Work?
I think that you were, was this animated, Jordan?
No, these are real hobbits.
And I'm just like, what?
And like the Gollum stuff, okay, so I think our general, like, okay, so at the height of Lord of the Rings, the Gollum impression was so fucking annoying, right? Like it was basically Austin Powers.
Like an annoying, not funny guy who wanted to take up all the air in the room would just do
a loud golem impression yeah oh god my ring for my wife she is my precious
do i make you precious, baby? Yeah.
You know, that old house party chestnut.
But given some distance from those guys, it's such an incredible performance and an incredible character.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I was just blown away.
I'm a hobbit guy now.
Anyways, that's my new thing. Hobbits. I love it. I was just blown away. I am like, I'm a Hobbit guy now. Anyways, that's my new thing.
I love it. I love them. Have you seen there's a video or maybe a couple of videos online that I've seen of Benedict Cumberbatch in all motion capture, a motion capture suit being the dragon and like rolling around on a gym mat.
It is.
Oh my God.
It's incredible.
It's really great,
but it's also very,
very funny.
Yeah.
Nothing I want to watch more than that.
Just watch it over and over all night.
Your night will be set.
It's so good.
If I can,
if,
if,
if someone out there can sync up the behind the scenes of Benedict Cumberbatch rolling around on a gym mat with the dwarf dishwashing song.
We'll kill Jordan.
It will kill me.
I will smile so big that it will bisect my head.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah.
I think that's the way to go.
If your head is going to be bisected, let it be for a fun, my goodness. you know new media stuff that you like is any like movies tv shows books where you're like oh i'm into this now i that i was gonna bring it up because you said you were enjoying it and it
made you tear up uh and use your cat as a kleenex which no one commented there that That was a really terrible idea. Yes.
Because your face is wet and cat hair loves wet stuff.
Yeah.
Even if you don't have allergies, that's how you start them.
But I've been overly enjoying bad movies and TV.
Like last night, I teared up during the Bruce Willis film Hostage, which I think has a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes.
But he really cares about the kid that he's trying to negotiate out of this situation with that mean Ben Foster.
Boy, he can be angry.
And I'm like, God, this is a really good movie.
And then I was realizing maybe every episode of Cheers isn't
uh the funniest thing in the world like why I I think that I am thirsty for entertainment because
it's kind of all I have right now so I'm just saying that maybe this time last year you maybe
would not have appreciated the Lord of the Rings movies as much as now. It does feel like every reaction I have to movies is the one I would have if I was watching it on
a plane. You know how they say the altitude makes you cry at stuff? I'm just like, oh yeah,
I can't believe that episode of Celebrity Family Feud ended like that.
Great job, Kevin Nealon's family.
I'm going to cry.
Yeah, yeah.
I got off a plane after watching Meet the Millers,
and I thought it was so funny and watched it again.
And I was like, what?
I think I had altitude sickness.
What's Meet the Millers?
Is that the Jennifer Aniston?
Yes.
And ex-S saturday night live guy
but i thought it was so funny on the plane i to where i is looking back at my neighbors to see
if they were watching it so we could do a little dishing. But yeah, yeah. I am enjoying
and crying
at everything.
But I'm also talking
to my plants.
So...
That helps them grow.
Yeah, yeah.
It does.
It does.
I sing classical music
to them
and they are growing.
But yeah,
I...
Everything's hitting me
a little harder.
Yeah. Sarah, has your media diet changed at all um a little bit i uh first i do a lot of comedy but i only like to watch drama
um so i'm watching me too yeah like um my boyfriend watches every because he um he's a
photographer and he'll like just be at home editing photos for hours and hours.
So he'll get through like every sitcom.
And I enjoy watching them.
But if I'm going to sit down and watch something, I'm going to watch like The Good Wife or.
Right.
So I'm watching The Good Wife.
And also there's a show.
How good is this wife when they say good
let me start from the beginning
she's a wife but you're like how good is this wife
and then immediately
you're like that's a good dang wife
Juliana Margalese
I would venture to say
she's a pretty good wife
but it's not that good of a show
good wife, but sure. You mean a good wife?
My precious wife.
There you go.
Yes,
that's good.
We want to rope in all,
all of this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My wife,
baby.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That works.
Great.
Does she ever, does she ever Does she ever aspire to greatness?
Could this wife ever be a great wife?
You know what?
I think she's great, but, you know, that's just me.
I'm on the outside.
I'm stuck in my house.
It's subjective.
We're at 10,000 feet, so who knows?
Right, yes.
We're all perpetually at 10,000 feet,
just eating little tiny pretzels and
crying at b minus movies well sarah sir while your boyfriend is editing photos he's just
listening to these sitcoms right he's not actually watch right i was i've been doing a lot of
illustration uh again uh panicked that stand-up is no longer a job and i am just listening to
episodes of cheers and episodes of forensic files and you know you know that sitcom and then yeah
those are pretty too you listed those like they were in the same category it is just background
it's the next one is going to start up again i look up and i'm
like oh that's interesting uh and sitcoms are perfect for it because you can tune in and tune
out um like arrive halfway into an episode and be like oh i get what this is about i get you're mad
at the other one so yeah yeah oh sure that Golden Girl is still promiscuous.
Yeah, I've been, man, Golden Girls is very good. I know it's like kind of a joke that, you know, dudes will say that they like the Golden Girls to get a laugh or something.
But they're all being serious because it's such a joke-heavy, terrifically written show.
It's so good.
I really have been enjoying the Golden Girls
and it is calming and makes me think of when I was younger
and then it's easier for me to draw.
My hands stop shaking.
I have been watching a ton of cooking shows,
but I only like the ones, like you said, soothing.
I like the ones that are soothing
because I don't need anything unsoothing right now.
Yeah.
So it's.
What is the, although I will say, like, what is the, what is the non-soothing cooking show?
Is it like.
It's like.
I guess Guy Fieri is not soothing.
Or that Gordon Ramsay prick.
Yeah.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, you're, you've been fucked.
You call this meatloaf asshole like
those shows they're not fun no uh to watch but yes the the whole home cake boss it it's just
someone who's like being an asshole for no reason i'm like i just want to let someone cook a nice
thing yeah yeah why do we have to involve the mafia?
Yeah, I've been getting interested in all these, like, the world's most extraordinary homes.
Oh, yeah. And just architectural shows. And I've started making dollhouses. I've ordered these kits, and I've gotten really into it. And I'm really happy with
what I've made. And now I want to start doing stop motion animation inside these little dioramas I've
made. And these are things I would not have done before quarantine. Yeah. Yeah, Chris, I actually
kind of wanted to talk about this. It seems from where I'm sitting that you've become a little bit of
an interior design influencer these past couple months. You've been like getting into, you were
like on a morning show, right? Yeah, I was. And that's, oh yeah, yeah. I did a tour of my apartment
and I've done that on a few shows. I mean mean i started by buying this photo mural and you can
find it online it's it's it's it's a four or eight piece puzzle uh not puzzle it's just you put it up
in panels but in the end you like i have one wall that is a tropical sunset with palm trees. And then in my bedroom,
it's a snowy, like a hazy mountain situation. And so then that dictated the rest of my,
like I turned my bedroom into a cabin with lanterns and snowshoes on the wall and fake
grass on the floor. This is your real? Yeah.
I love it.
Well, yeah, I've never lived alone,
and I've never had free reign on what I would do within an apartment,
and I probably won't get my deposit back because of the light fixtures and everything I've put in.
Sure, all the taxidermy, the fireplace you knocked out a wall to build.
I almost got taxidermy, but I don't want to kill animals. So I have some fake moose horns and
stuff in my bedroom with my Boy Scout pajamas. Whoops. But I was going to get a tent on my bed. Like you can buy these bed tents.
Brian, take that thing, Brian, take that thing Chris said about Boy Scout pajamas and make it louder.
Make it louder in the episode.
So it seems like he's screaming Boy Scout pajamas.
Just repeat it.
Make it just be a loop for the next 30 seconds.
See if someone online puts a beat behind it
and does a remix.
I want to get famous.
I want to be the new hide your kids, hide your wife guy.
Oh, yeah.
It could be a famous ringtone.
Boy Scout pajamas.
Boy Scout pajamas.
Actually, right now I have my laptop
on this vintage picnic basket that I got for my room.
I don't know.
The point is, yeah, I went overboard with these themed areas of my apartment.
And yeah, you're right.
People started accusing me of being an interior designer.
So now I'm like, maybe it is something I am interested in. And that
has happened. Yeah. Like you said, in the last few months, it's kind of funny.
With the dollhouses, are you worried about hauntings?
Just a little tiny.
Very small ghosts. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Wee little hauntings.
Just Gulliver's travel size
ghosts god it's hard for me to say that uh yeah i actually when i first moved into this place i was
100 sure it was haunted and lit some sage and said some things and i i opened up what do you mean by
some things what did you uh Some stuff I made up,
like quit hiding my tools when I'm doing things
and then putting them back when I'm upset, okay?
Little dead boy.
I assumed it was a little dead boy
because these were pranky little
Dennis the Menace type things.
I literally was hanging pictures,
sat down the hammer, and I looked down and the hammer wasn't there anymore.
And I was immediately freaked out because I knew I had just put it down.
Well, I had a question. Oh, sorry. Continue.
No, no, no. I I've just not into,
I've never been into ghosts or believed in that.
And I had a couple of weird things happen and I think I know why it happened.
That was my question. Cause I feel like I, um, I don't disbelieve people who believe in ghosts.
Right. You know, I, uh, one of my very close friends lived like in a theater, um, that
anyway, it was part of this very old, old building. And she believed in ghosts, but also
would like feel energies and she could hear things. And, you know, she and her husband believe in ghosts. And I would go there and be
like, I fully believe her, but I just, it's not for me. So I think I almost feel like the ghosts,
if they're there are like, don't even bother with Sarah. She's not. Yeah. That's what I've thought
my whole life. If I was experiencing any ghost situations, experiencing them, like in Austin, I had to paint these walls in what is known, it's in the haunted registry. People do tours of it. It's across from the Driscoll Theater in Austin, which is famously haunted. And I was painting this mural during the day and just
shit was happening all around me, but I just thought people were working. And then this guy
showed up and said, Hey, sorry, I had to lock you in, but you can go to lunch now if you want. And
I'm like, no, there's other people working. And he's like, no, that's ghosts so i had been ignoring it real super jaded groundskeeper
yeah yeah and even then i didn't care it wasn't until i had like a close friend die and my mom
die in real life where i was like i felt energy things and and then that kind opened things up
a little bit but not to where i would say I was a ghost person.
Then what I did in my apartment is there was this painted shut short door in the wall,
and I wanted to know what was behind it, so I cut a seam.
You know, it had been painted over for 30 years or something.
There's like three different colors of paint that I chiseled through
and I opened it and it was this kind of cool ironing board that went up like a Murphy bed.
Oh yeah. I have one of those in my apartment. Yeah. Yeah. And there's like a gear system. It's
like a iron, a cast iron, these gears. It's, it's really kind of cool. But the minute I opened that
up, it seemed like I was, things were falling down in the kitchen.
I would hear noises that would wake me up of things falling down and they would fall in a weird way.
And I know that.
Do you think you released a ghost that was killed in some sort of ironing accident?
Yes.
What a way to go, right?
Yeah.
That's a lot of bad ways to die by iron yeah yeah
his last screaming words were oh you're supposed to take the shirt off
i i but i i just with a little water first yeah yeah try steaming you dumb dead kid but uh
but yeah i i did shut the door and I lit candles and saged around it.
I didn't know what, I talked to a friend, an ex-girlfriend that knows about these things,
and she told me what to say. And then I shut the door and I haven't opened it since. And honestly,
I haven't experienced anything. I think think this i think you've you've
hit on something really interesting yeah we've all got a ghost x right let me get got an x
super into ghosts yeah yeah isn't that a movie my super haunted ex-girlfriend or something
a girl's a ghost of girlfriends past i think uh well Not that I've seen it, you guys, and enjoyed it because it was quarantine.
Sure, of course not.
I cried for each ex-girlfriend of the past. But yeah, now that nothing's happened, I feel like maybe I was just going crazy.
So yes, like Sarah, I'm still skeptical, but I know that these energies or whatever.
And I was raised by parents that said you just die and nothing happens after that.
Like I'm not a spiritual person, but I've kind of become one after people pass away
and then you experience things that really strongly,
it's almost like you feel it more than you see a hazy apparition or something.
And now I do kind of believe in ghosts.
Yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and say it.
Do it.
I'm not about to be a ghost hunter.
You just want to provide them with a tiny dollhouse to live in.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
Back to the important stuff.
Yeah.
I do want to do some Wallace and Gromit-like animation because the detail in this, it's just taking photos of it.
I was like, oh, man, that would be the coolest backdrop for some claymation. So I've ordered more dollhouses and I'm just going to put them on my bookshelf
and set up a tripod and take pictures
and try and put them together.
I don't know what I'm doing yet,
but that's my plan
because I think I'm going to be locked in my apartment
for a while.
Right, guys?
Can't wait.
Nah, man.
I'm headed down to Huntington Beach
to do some Irish car bombs and cough in my friend's mouth.
Because we're all about personal liberty.
Yeah, like Sammy Hagar just said, people used to die for our freedom in wars.
So I'm willing to die on stage and take some people with me because the economy is American freedom or something like that.
That all makes perfect sense.
I saw a tweet.
I can't remember who said it,
but it's retweeted if you're following me
on Instagram, on Twitter.
But it was someone saying,
can you imagine if right in the middle of Contagion,
Matt Damon decided to go to a bar?
And that's what it feels like oh yeah that's great
yeah just go to nickel just go to nickel wing night
uh speaking of uh hobbies and homemaking uh sarah i wanted to ask you uh about your
interest in the video game animal crossing. Oh, I'm so happy you asked.
Um, because that, that, uh, I mentioned loving cooking shows because they're soothing. Um,
especially like the Great British Bake Off. Animal Crossing is just the same thing. It's just,
um, it's kind of, uh, what, uh, what you're doing, Chris, of all you're doing is you like,
you have a little house and you set it up and you like get little furniture.
And then one day you decide that you want this to be a band room or you want this to
be a winter themed room.
Sure.
Sure.
It's a dream.
Were you a, were you a video game person pre animal crossing?
Not really.
I like a game.
Um, I grew up, you know, having like Super Nintendo
and playing like light, lightly video games, but I wasn't a huge video game. I played a lot of
computer games more, but I like a game that I don't need to be great at hand-eye coordination
because I feel like, not to generalize, but lots of boys and some girls who are not like me just grew up and have been playing video games since they were like old enough to hold something.
Sure.
And I think a lot of video games are built for those people.
And I'm like, I'm just not going to be that.
But I can set up a house and I can catch butterflies.
Yeah.
What is Animal Crossing?
Is it kind of like Sims then?
Yes.
What are you building?
Yeah, you are.
It is very much like Sims.
And I also play Sims.
So perfect, Chris.
I love this.
God, I got lucky.
You really did.
Yeah, you're sent to an island,
a little tropical island that becomes habit, uh,
habitated. Sure. Um, by little animal neighbors. Um, and the whole point of the game is just like
develop the island. If you want to build a bridge might be fun. You don't have to meet some friends, invite someone to move into your island, visit another island.
It's so it's so lame. And I love it so very much.
Right. So that is the part that is a lot like Sims is that you're just watching your little avatar person do mundane tasks.
But you're you're controlling the person. Right. Right.
But you get to watch the neighbors do their little mundane tasks. But you're controlling the person. Right, right.
But you get to watch the neighbors do their little mundane tasks.
Gotcha, yeah, okay.
I've never played Sims,
but I know that you just kind of watch what's happening.
Yeah.
It's like voyeuristic almost.
Yeah.
What does your island look like currently?
Well, I built a gym by the ocean. Um, it's,
that sounds really beautiful. It's really nice. I recently, you know, was getting bored with it
cause I had it for a little while. So I made the gym haunted. Um, yeah, that's, that's a fun way
to spice things up. I've got, I've got, you know, and I might say that if, if there's anybody out
there who's looking to spice things up, maybe try turning your long-term relationship haunted.
I mean, it makes it new.
It makes it different.
Right.
What's the difference between being scared and being excited?
I don't know anymore, honestly.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a very small – I mean, it's a rising in the blood pressure.
The heart rate speeds up.
I mean,
the unexpected,
you know?
Sure.
Yeah.
I mean, in the middle of lovemaking,
your partner's face turns into your mom's face and calls you a liar.
I think I've had that dream actually.
I've had that ex.
Yeah.
We've all,
we all,
yes,
we've all had that ex whose face turns into our mom's face and calls us a liar.
Yes, yes.
So you have a haunted gym by the sea.
Sure.
Yeah.
I put a big church organ out behind the climbing wall.
So that feels very spooky.
I got a skeleton out there.
We've got a little restaurant we're building.
Oh, that's fun.
Yeah, it's fun.
That's always been your dream, just to ditch Hollywood and open up that little cafe.
Yeah, just for a bunch of animal neighbors.
Right.
It's a dream.
What's the shit with the turnips?
I don't understand it.
Okay.
I see people tweeting about turnips and turnip prices, and I don't understand it. I see people tweeting about turnips and turnip prices,
and I don't get it. Okay. So every day on the island, one of-
You already lost me. I'm already tuned out.
Okay. So let me explain what days are in a calendar system.
Okay. Yes. Okay. The year of our Lord, Christ's birth.
Yeah, sure.
So every day of the week,
you get a new visitor to your island.
And the visitor is someone who is there to,
there's a guy who comes and sells shoes and purses.
And then there's a guy who tries to sell,
his name is Red, and he's a shifty guy,
but he sells you art that is either fake or real, and you take to the museum to test it out.
But there's, every day you get one different one. So each week, you know, you rotate through
different visitors. But every Sunday, there's this little... God, is she like a little
pig? I'm going to say she's a little pig. Don't roast me if I'm wrong. But she sells turnips.
And then every day, you have a store on your island. Every single day, you can check
to sell your turnips and see what the price is. And the
price goes up and down. Usually for me, it's very, very, very low. But every now and then it's up.
I this sounds like something I would not like. But but you know what? I was so wrong about Lord
of the Rings, which is great. I don is great i don't know maybe this is uh
maybe this is something i need to entertain i need to broaden my horizons well i have a cut it
so turnips are an essentially a currency kind of you can't it's uh it's but it's truly they
call it playing the stock market s-t--A-L-K. Oh, sure.
No, I was wrong.
This game is very good.
Well, that's, yeah, if it's an island with just animals,
I thought it was like a deserted island.
And so I assumed in your gym there would be a bamboo exercise bicycle.
But now you're saying there's a museum and salespeople,
and it's not just professors selling a repaired radio.
Sure, yeah, you're thinking of Gilligan's Island, it sounds like.
Yeah, no, I was going to do a couple more of those
until really the Gilligan's Island thing really sunk in.
But Sarah, the Harlem Globetrotters show up every now and then, right?
Yes, yes.
What a dream.
Yeah.
And they teach you basketball one day a week.
Right.
Well, I think we've learned a lot about dollhouses and the video game Animal Crossing.
Why don't we take a little break and then we'll come back for more Jordan, Jesse, Go.
It's Jordan, Jesse, Go.
I'm Jordan Morris, boy detective.
I'm Sarah Claspel, girl scientist.
And I'm Chris Fairbanks, old lighthouse operator.
You should get, I saw this movie.
You should get a young lighthouse operator.
Fart on him.
Catch him masturbating to a tiny stone mermaid.
It'll be delightful.
Won't that drive him to kill a seagull with his bare hands?
You'll have to wait and see.
And you'll cry like a baby.
This is my favorite way to watch that movie
because I don't really want to,
but I want to hear all of these details.
Yeah, it's a lot, but it's really, really good.
All right. Yeah, it's a lot, but it's really, really good. All right. Yeah, it is
good. It's very strange, and
it's shot in an
interesting way, and
but it's kind of scary. Yeah,
it is a little bit scary. It's one of those that
I know I will like, but I'm
I just haven't gotten around to
feeling in the mood to watch
a weird one. Yeah. It's
tough in this situation to, like, sit down to watch a weird one. Yeah. It's tough in this situation to like sit down to watch a challenging movie.
You know?
Right.
Oh, this is going to be a like, you know, intellectual.
Like I sat down like, ah, fuck.
Eraserhead's on Turner Classic Movies for two more days.
I've never seen fucking Eraserhead.
So I sat down and watched Eraserhead.
And I'm like, all right, well, now I've seen it it and now I'm bummed for a day and a half anyway. Just watched Lord of the
Rings and lesser direct-to-DVD Bruce Willis movies. Right, right. Yeah, The Lighthouse is
basically about two people in a confined place getting sick of each other. It's not the movie for these times. Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, I mean...
But if anybody...
I started drinking my own pee two days into this thing.
Boy, did I jump the gun.
Sorry.
Yeah, and if anybody out there,
if any of our listeners have
the Lord of the Rings GameCube game
or a Tiny Stone Mermaid,
you can just send those to my po box that would be amazing um anyway
uh we happen to have some telephone calls from people who gave us a call at 206-984-4-FUN
to tell us about what's going on with them brian, play that first call. Hello, Jordan, Jesse, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say Sarah Cooper.
Close.
I've got a momentous occasion.
So I'm an American who just sort of happened to be in Japan when all of the pandemic stuff started to get very serious.
And as a result, have been quote-unquote stuck here
for the last several months.
I'm in Kyoto, and just two days ago, I discovered that there is an otter cafe in Kyoto.
I tried to go yesterday, but it was closed.
Today, I managed to go, and long story short,
spent an hour petting otters
and having otters climb on me
and having an otter try to steal my glasses.
And that seemed pretty momentous.
Anyway, that's it.
You guys are great.
Stay safe and healthy.
Bye.
What the fuck?
This stupid country is so much worse
than Japan Japan
rules yeah they have
all these themed cat and otter stole his
glasses that's so cute
we have cat cafes and they're great
but nothing like an
otter cafe I know
they just fucking left us in the dust
I hope the otter
laid on his back and grabbed his glasses and broke it with an abalone shell.
Sure.
They are so cute.
I guess the concern when going to an otter cafe, I hear they do mate for life.
So I guess there is the concern that the otter could bond with you and then die of grief when you leave.
Sure.
Oh my God, That's terrifying.
Or you have to marry an otter.
Yeah.
Right.
Although, I don't know.
You know, you float around on your back.
You hold hands.
Sounds pretty good.
You're eating a lot of fresh seafood.
I can't hate that.
Amazing.
Yeah.
You have a Mediterranean diet.
I don't know.
It sounds like a little slice of heaven.
If there's any otters out there
call me they're just in the letter to my po box yeah hey otters first learn how to write um
secondly send a letter that's jordan's po oh my god just a little tiny pencil. Little pencil. Oh, God.
Yeah, I have been to the cat cafes out here, and they are very fun.
It is fun to have access to many cats while having coffee. Sure.
But yeah, I mean.
I thought that was just a famous cafe in Portland.
Oh, I don't know.
Yeah, they have them out here. I that was just a famous cafe in Portland. Oh, I don't know. Do they?
Yeah, they have them out here.
It's not.
I mean, I do not doubt they have it in Portland.
That I mean, it's a pretty.
Yeah, it seemed a very Portland thing.
And that's why they had us do that as a Bridgetown Comedy Festival outing.
But I never woke up early enough to go have coffee with cats.
You know, I love cats, but.
I thought you were going to say you got to do stand-up at the cat cafe, because that's perfect.
Oh, yeah.
It was one of the daytime activities, along with an arcade and stuff like that, and I
was always hungover and sleeping.
Yeah.
I mean, I would love to try and do stand-up at a cat cafe and cater it to the cats.
Oh, my God.
All cat jokes?
Yeah.
I'm not a stand-up, but I think I could be for cat jokes.
Sure.
I'll rearrange my whole life to do this.
So, you know when you're hiding under the couch because the vacuum scares you?
You know what I'm talking about. This guy knows what I'm talking about. vacuum scares you? You know what I'm talking about.
This guy knows what I'm talking about.
This asshole knows what I'm talking about.
Oh, I love calling a cat an asshole.
I don't come down to where you work and knock the mouse out of your mouth.
I love it.
Love it.
My cat is, we have like an outdoor cat now who like hangs around in the little yard behind our apartment.
And he's very cute.
He'll kind of look at my cat through the, you know, kind of big window that looks out over the yard.
And the other day, and they'll just kind of, and it doesn't agitate her anymore, but she, but they kind of like to just look at each other.
It's quite cute.
And the other day, though, he rolled up with a mouse in his mouth that was still moving.
It was like fighting in his mouth.
And he just sat there and stared at my cat with it in his mouth.
And what she must think he's doing out there like like is i wondered if like that seemed appealing to her or if she's like oh thank god i don't have to do that
but oh because your cat's a fully indoor cat yeah she's fully indoor and has not had to hunt like
she'll you know she'll chase a fly but um yeah, seeing that just kind of like bloodthirsty, awful nature up close,
I imagine would be pretty mind blowing if she had a human mind,
which I attribute to her sometimes.
Yeah.
I constantly, me and my boyfriend constantly talk about
how our cats would die immediately if they got out.
Because they're very friendly and they will show their bellies to any stranger.
We've had parties with like 20 people over and the cats will fall asleep in the middle of the floor
and don't care that anyone is close to stepping on them.
And yeah, they can't, they will, they'll like chase a fly.
But as soon as they get the fly, they'll look at it like, what's your deal? I'm like, yeah, eat it or leave it alone.
Sure. Yeah, you got it.
Yeah, your cat probably didn't recognize this other cat's outdoor power moves.
Yeah, I know. It might not even have registered to her. That's something that I could possibly do.
of registered to her. I was like, yeah, that's something that I could possibly do.
That's funny though, Sarah. I, the other day I, there's just a cat in my neighborhood, uh,
that looks a little, it's definitely an outdoor cat, but has a collar. Uh, but totally I'm like, Hey, how are you doing? And went straight to his back. And, and I just started petting him, and I immediately thought of like,
well, there's people out there that – I'm like, where are your parents?
I was a little worried for a cat that gave it up.
Are you on drugs?
Yeah.
Brian, we got another phone call in there?
Hi, Jordan, Jesse, Sunny D, and I'm going to guess McElroy have a momentous occasion.
Me and my wife are out hiking, foraging for wild mushrooms, and we came across a patch of wild dildos.
patch of wild dildos um two purple and a blue and then one of those i guess sleeves that you put over a dildo or a penis it's like studded anyways i'll send pictures thanks guys
i did not know those grew in the wild that's yeah yeah well, I think, I think the farm to table dildo movement is been really influential and
really changed,
um,
you know,
how we,
how we get off.
I think,
um,
that I,
okay.
Sleeve.
I guess maybe I don't know enough about dildos.
Well,
I think,
is she talking about like,
God,
what is the name of it?
It's like,
um, I don't want to describe it, but it's like a cup with like a rubber hole.
Oh, this is so gross.
Yeah, like the inner workings of a fleshlight.
Yes, a fleshlight.
That's what I'm thinking.
Yeah.
Huh.
Yeah, I think it's just a sheath-like carrying case for those dildos on the go.
Right.
Yeah, sure.
It's easy.
Like a carrying thing.
Right.
Like you put a tent in.
So you know you can get it through airport security.
It can stow safely in your overhead compartment.
It's got a handle, so it looks like a little briefcase.
That's cute.
Yeah.
I just sling mine over my shoulder in the airport.
I don't.
Guys, I was kidding.
I, you know, basically all my anecdotes are like, I saw on one of my dumb little walks,
you know, those dumb little walks you got to go on.
I was on one of my dumb little walks and I saw a, just in the dirt, a pile of like self-help books.
Like, you know, like Lean In was in there.
You know, something called like Be Great, Not Good.
I know a certain wife who could maybe use that one.
Juliana Margulies, are you listening?
Sure. Juliana Margulies, are you listening?
Sure.
Juliana, call us.
In that pile of self-help books was a copy of the Kama Sutra.
And I, yeah, it really, it, I got kind of bummed out when I thought about like the stories that would lead to someone throwing out all their self-help books and their copy of the kama sutra or they're like i've perfected my life
i've um i've self-helped and i've learned every kama sutra this this manual has nothing else to
teach me yeah maybe that's it maybe i i automatically went negative but maybe it's a person who's become so
self-actualized and such a fuck pro that they don't they want to they want to free up some
space on the bookshelf to maybe read the southern reach trilogy finally yeah yeah how to learn
karate sure how to incorporate karate into your lovemaking.
I know this shouldn't be weird, but I feel like it would be so weird to get a used sex book.
Yeah.
Just knowing, not that someone is like jacking off with the book, though maybe, and no shade, I suppose.
Sure. But to know that someone is looking at the book
and then like looking at their genitals being like,
here we go.
You don't like that every time.
Yeah.
I, yeah, it's, or that they, when I was a kid,
someone, a friend of mine that was maybe older,
like 11 or something, told me about masturbation and said that he used magazines to do it.
And I didn't understand.
And so I actually rolled up a magazine and tried to masturbate with the physical magazine.
Listen, I don't.
Which is hilarious.
Sounds made up, but I really.
I don't blame your friend.
I blame Prince for disseminating bad information about what a
certain darling Nikki was doing.
Oh, wait. I don't...
You gotta break down the lyrics
for me. Oh, yeah.
She says she was a sex fiend masturbating with a
magazine, you know.
Oh, thank you.
A lot of people needed that.
Do you think they did?
Well, thank you for encouraging me to kind of half-assedly explain my joke.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
I'm here to help.
I live to give.
Brian, our producer, tells me that we have yet another entrant in our ongoing segment,
songs about Walton Goggins' vodka brand.
Sarah, for you and Chris,
this is an ongoing bit we have
where people write songs
about Walton Goggins' vodka brand.
Why are we doing this?
No reason.
It just is something that's happening.
They're getting more elaborate, more meticulously produced.
We're actually planning something very special for these because they just keep coming.
So if you have not heard your Walton Goggins song on the show, don't fret.
We're planning a special all Goggins song special for the very near future.
So we thank you for your patience.
But Brian tells us that he has one that's a real doozy.
Brian, do you want to play that for us?
Yeah, this is from a guy named James Yates.
It's an original song he wrote for us.
Goggins. James Yates. It's an original song he wrote for us. Gardens

There's good.
There's great.
But I think this is in a rarefied air.
I'm going to go ahead and say God tier.
There's a few we've heard that I would categorize as God tier, and I think this is it.
That was pretty amazing.
This is a bop.
Yes, a bop.
This is a damn bop.
It's a damn bop.
I love how unmistakably the rap style was that of Deborah Harry.
Yeah, I was going to say it was kind of in the style of-
Driving cars and you'd live
in bars and yeah it was like that the exact uh blondie hip-hop that was great the rhyming villain
with distillin um just won my heart
and i didn't know who we were talking about until he described his work with uh and then hateful aid and uh and
and danny mcbride i was like oh that yeah that guy okay yeah that guy that guy
uh he has his own vodka now anyway um that's great he left out george clooney though who makes uh
casamigos oh yeah casamigos te good. Hey, I'm just giving notes.
Like if we were in a studio or something.
Right, yeah.
Let's roll it again.
Yeah, and while it was playing, Chris, you had your hand over one ear,
and you were giving the thumbs up because you wanted Brian to crank it.
I was thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up, and then I did an A-OK.
Well, yes.
Thank you to everybody who's been submitting Goggins Vodka songs.
We've got a special Goggins Vodka treat coming your way pretty soon.
So keep it right here and keep subscribed to Jordan Jesse Go.
We'll be back in a minute.

I started listening to Ono, Ross, and Carrie shortly after I broke my arm,
and the doctor had told me I'd never walk again.
I couldn't get my book started.
I was lost, honestly.
I knew it was time to make a change.
There's something about Oh No Ross and Carrie that you just can't get anywhere else.
They're thought leaders, discoverers, founders.
I'd call them heroes.
Ross and Kerry don't just report on French science, spirituality, and claims of the paranormal.
They take part themselves.
They show up so you don't have to.
But you might find that you want to.
My arm is better.
I can walk again.
I wrote an entire book this weekend.
It's terrible, but I did it.
Just go to MaximumFun.org.
Thank you, Ross and Carrie.
Ona Ross and Carrie is just a podcast.
It doesn't do anything.
It's just sound you listen to in your ears.
All these people are made up.
Goodbye. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Wow. Really? Yes. Yes. If you look closely, you can see there is breathing gills on my neck,
and I spend half my time underwater.
You see, I'm a man of the sea.
Sure.
Literally, I live in the sea.
Well, thank you guys so much for being on the show today. I want to talk a little bit about where people can experience your comedy. Sarah, you
said you are doing live streaming shows with the Asian AF Comedy Tour. Yes, Asian AF is doing shows
every two weeks. We're doing improv shows. We interview Asian American actors and comedians.
We had Lou Diamond Phillips on about a month ago.
Wow. Okay. Talk about classic hunks. Are all the guests classic hunks from the 80s? I would say that every single guest so far is, if not a classic hunk, a classic or a new wave
hunk. Okay. Wow. New bow hunk. But they're hunks left and right. A new bow hunk. But yeah,
we have those every two weeks and we're using the platform to kind of get people to donate to different causes every week.
So it's funny, but it also is like, hey, we're trying to donate to good causes.
So that feels fun.
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah.
Is there a place people should make sure to check back if they want to watch those shows?
For sure.
Check out Asian AF's Instagram or twitter at asian af show um and the shows are on youtube and you
can watch them live um or you can you can also find me at claspi and i will also promote um on
on all my stuff uh chris fairbanks um you are a fantastic stand-up comedian.
Thanks. People have not seen you do stand-up comedy.
A good way to do that would be to rent or buy your new stand-up special, Rescue Cactus.
Yes.
It is something I made or recorded a year ago and decided to pick the worst time in my lifetime,
the history of my life to release and,
or not it.
I feel great having people watch it right now.
Cause a lot of people are saying this is,
I needed to watch something funny right now.
Everything is,
there's a lot going on,
but it is,
it's so hard for me to promote it uh like i feel like
especially last week when it was coming out i was like in the midst of only using my
social media to talk about uh people being murdered by cops and and and uh and then all
of a sudden i'm like, Hey, watch my
comedy special. So it feels like a weird time to promote it, but I, but I have been anyway. Uh,
and, and, uh, and it's been getting, I've been getting a lot of great feedback and I'm pretty
excited about it. Yeah. I, I watched it over the weekend and it's so hilarious. And it was so like, yeah, it was so nice just to laugh at, at, at that very special kind of, of Chris Fairbanks nonsense.
It's really, really funny.
The like energy is so great.
It like reminded me of, you know, being at a great live comedy show.
And special bonus for eagle eyed viewers.
There's a Jordan Jesse Go shirt in the audience.
Oh, wow.
Cool.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Rescue Cactus, it's really, really hilarious.
Yeah.
Where's the...
It is a Vimeo on demand.
So, I mean, if you just Google Rescue Cactus,
it'll come up.
But right now it's on a website called We're Gnarly, W-E-R-E-N-A-R-L-Y.
So gnarly without the G.
I wanted to make it as confusing as possible.
But it is a website.
My friend that made it used to make snowboard videos in another lifetime.
And I knew him back then, 20 years ago.
And we kind of randomly got reunited via Ron Babcock, actually.
And we had been making some comedy videos.
And then he proposed the idea of self-producing a stand-up special.
And we just used
a website he already owned
and so it's at We're Gnarly
or yeah, Vimeo On Demand
Rescue Cactus.
Yeah, it is a great use
of a couple of bucks. Chris Fairbanks
Rescue Cactus, get it.
Well yeah, that's all for
today's Jordan and Jesse Go.
Brian Sonny D. Fernandez is our producer,
and he is, boy, he is really working overtime these days.
So, yeah, big, big thanks to Brian
for keeping this ship afloat and off the rocks,
much like a lighthouse occupied by Borat
and a pig who sells turnips.
Trying to bring it all around for the end.
My lighthouse.
My lighthouse.
