Nick Adams (Black-ish, Bojack Horseman) joins Jordan and Jesse to talk about Nick's quarantine binge-watch of classic NBC Fall Lineup promos, the back ally deal Jesse pulled off to feed his kids' Pokemon card fervor, and Jordan's struggle being introduced to friends' kids as an adult who knows about video games.It's the first week of the 2020 Max Fun Drive. We're doing all kinds of fun stuff – live streams for charity, bonus episodes, etc. – to celebrate the incredible Maximum Fun community and to thank the people who help keep all of our shows going.

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 am Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Herbal T. Kalman. Yeah, we're just up here quarantining in Big Sur and it's just so yummy. The sound of the breakers, huh? Yes. We have a lot of exciting projects going on.

We're just using this time to, you know, work on ourselves. Excuse me. To work on ourselves and, you know, just get in touch with our spirits and our creativity. And it's just all so yummy. Can I ask you a question, Herbal Tea Common? I wish you would. Have you taken this time to make any mandalas? Well, it's funny you should mention making because my lovers and I have been embarking on a very exciting project. We've teamed up with Target.

Are you familiar with Target? I call it Target, but yes. Mmm, that's fun. Yummy. So what I've proposed to Target is we've put together a sign for the kitchen, something you can look at at the start of your day to just remind you what's important. And while you're sipping your coffee or chai, you can just, you know, look at this wooden sign

and just remember how simply you can make yourself happy. Do you want to hear what's on our wooden sign? I would love to hear that. Yeah, I could use some simple wisdom. Yes. It just reminds you to live, laugh, love, wish, dream, play, kiss, sing, foist, raise, flay, run, wash, flick, jump, strike, fall, chop, Jump. Right. Strike. Of course. Fall. Uh-huh. Chop. Yeah.

Trot. Yes. Dance. Sure. Destroy. Okay. That was quite the easy reader journey you took us on. I just think just starting your day like that is so yummy. Yummy.

I do love to start my day with a verb now if you'll excuse me I have to go lead a kegels workshop good hey guys it's uh it's me what I miss a long list of one-syllable verbs. Oh, fun. Yeah. Guy's making a sign in here. It's kind of long.

I don't know if your average kitchen wall will have room for it, but I mean, that's not my department, you know? I was listening to that list of verbs, and I thought, this highly crafted list of verbs can only have been written by a professional television writer. Film and television writer. And then it turned out it was just Herbal T. Kahneman who wrote the whole thing. Herbal T. Kahneman, yeah. Thought no one could know this many verbs.

A lot of fun projects. Yeah. Should we introduce our guest, Jordan? I would love to. Our guest is one of the favorites here on Jordan, Jesse Goh. He's a writer on television, including the television program Black-ish, which you may have heard of. Our old friend, Mr. Nick Adams. Hi, Nick. Repeating the house. Hold on. Let me put down my newspaper.

Let me just close the door to my office. And what's that? What's that, Sugarfoot? My horse is in here. Hold on. Let me lead him out. Okay. All right.

I'm ready. Bye, Sugarfoot. I love you. Good night, Sugarfoot. Wow. We're really going on an audio journey it's it's i majored in foley at uh yes the university of north carolina ashville when i was later on i'll be talking our listeners to sleep by describing a journey on the orient express yeah nick how was the Foley program there? Are they like known for their-

Intense. Super intense. Yeah. Super intense. It's like it goes cheerleading, Foley, and then lacrosse. Those are the three intense programs. Wow. Yeah.

It's really all over the place. Okay. Before we get too far into our Foley work work i want to mention that this is the first jordan jesse go of the 2020 max fun drive we're very excited to have everybody on board for this uh max fun of course if anybody doesn't know is artist owned and audience supported.

Did you like that number that I chose for how long we've been doing Jordan and Jesse Go? 7,000 years? What I kind of wanted was not to suggest that we did the show with or for dinosaurs, did the show with or for dinosaurs, but to suggest that maybe at some point one of those giant sloths tuned in. Also, you can't just say dinosaurs, Jesse. Like, what period are we talking about?

Are we talking, you know, a Mesozoic? I guess, what was that, the early 90s on ABC? That's the dinosaurs you're talking about. Yeah, not the mama. Hey, everybody. We know that show had a dark ending. You can stop bringing that up. I believe it was ahead of its time.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Dinosaurs had a dark ending. It was the first show ever to rip off The Simpsons using dinosaur puppets. Right. It was a good show. I don't have a problem with that show. It wasn't good.

Yeah, I have some fun memories of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs, the show could have, you know what it could have benefited from? Hmm. A pop or a quibby or perhaps a peacock mayhap. Yeah, I know. I mean, but I mean, let's get this. Hey, you know, like obviously like we want people to support the Max Fund Drive. We want that to be like the messaging.

But if I would say that this episode has a sub message, it is it's get this hashtag trending. Hashtag Queeby bring back dinosaurs. Not the mama. I think adding not the mama. I think adding not the mama, I don't think we're suggesting that Queeby maybe invest in some Jurassic Park-like technology to bring back dinosaurs. Although I think Katzenberg's got the money.

You don't want to tell Katzenberg Bring Back Dinosaurs because he's an old guy and he's incredibly wealthy. He will start work in earnest on a Jurassic Park scenario and it will be up and running within a decade. We don't want to drop that challenge on Katzenberg. Yeah, and if you think a great guy like John Hammond fucked up Jurassic Park, think what Katzenberg's going to do. He's going to cut all kinds of corners. He's going to make sure that you can only experience Jurassic Park

on your phone yeah Hemsworth murders a dinosaur in like 10 minute increments yeah I support

your whole thing with bringing back dinosaurs on Quibi I get it thank you right small dinosaurs small bites

small dinosaurs yeah a compsonathus for me on my social media i'm going to continue to focus on hashtag imd tv bring back herman's head like you know another honorable cause yeah i i i stumbled onto a fucking treasure trove a few weeks ago and it's some genius some amazing human being has cataloged every year i believe starting like 78 going through the 80s all of the trailers for the new fall shows wow so like getting people pumped for veronica's closet yes herman's head wow veronica's

closet and there's a period of time clearly where Saturday Night Fever had just, you know, come out and smash it. So there's like three sitcoms based in New Jersey with like young guys with great hair. Adrian Simet is in one. I mean, I think we're all, you know, doing some kind of strange quarantine binge. Oh, yes. But this is probably the strangest i've heard it's amazing i'll be perfectly honest with you at some point and i'm going to say this only because this is the only format where this this anecdote can live there is a there's a show that

is based in queens the title is queens uh the the opening of the show is just like new york city the freeway you're going over the bridge you you see Queens, and then they hard cut to Park La Brea. Wow. As if they're in Queens now, you know, like Park La Brea is supposed to be Queens. Park La Brea being a kind of semi, well, I was going to say semi, I'll say an actually kind of sad apartment mega complex. Massive apartment complex in Mid-City built post-World War II to house the influx of human beings coming into the city. But yeah, this is the only place where that anecdote can live.

Speaking of local geography that you know too much about when it appears on TV, there was a, like in 90s TV, I saw this exterior shot in both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel when they have to be in a fancy restaurant. They cut to a very particular building with a nice exterior. And I remember actually seeing that building in LA, and I'm like, fuck, that's a Marie Callender's. But in the 90s, though. In the 90s, a Marie Callender's. I'm like, were those characters all actually at Marie Callender's?

Is that the premise of the show, is that they get dressed up and go to Marie Callender's? Boreanaz was hand-to-mouth before that show took and go to Marie Callender's. Boreanaz was hand to mouth before that show took off. So Marie Callender's, you know what? That's true. He was playing David Boreanaz on that show too. Struggling actor with fluctuating weight, David Boreanaz. L.A. in the 80s, Jordan was all about Spago.

But in the 90s, Marie Callender ruled the roost. Oh, yeah. Chicken pot pie and regular pie? I don't mind if I do. One of my favorite stand-up gigs is like there's a weekend room close to L.A. and it is, it was,

I don't know if it's still there, but it was a Marie Callender's across the street from Magic Mountain which on Friday and Saturday night was like a happening comedy club. And it was a pretty good venue. You got paid and you got pie. Whoa. OK, so, Nick, when you were getting what what what what's your pie from Maria Callender?

You're getting your free slice. Where are you going? I don't know what the fruit situation is like for all these places. You know what I mean? We've seen today the squirrel news hit the Los Angeles internet. So we don't know what the preservative situation is like. At the time of this recording, there is an artisanal jam scandal rocking L.A. Twitter. Ryan Gosling's favorite jam was tainted.

It is ripping the fabric of Los Angeles apart right now. Yeah. As we know it. This is going to turn the city into a warrior scenario. I just fucking know it. There's going to be baseball guys hitting guys and Native American vests. It's going to be awful. If you're in Atwater Village, stay over there.

Don't try to make it across the five tonight. Don't do it. No. You already have all the cassette tape stores you need. Yeah. You have the craft beer and everything. You just go to Costco. Don Costco go west of La Brea can you dig it that's from the Warriors I really did I wanted to buy an album once like two years ago

and there's a record store in Atwater Village that I just looked up on Yelp and it had good reviews I went to it to buy this album that I wanted to buy, and when I got there, I learned it was a cassettes-only record store. Oh, come on, man. Come on. But they also, so I think we actually found out too today, those cassettes are tainted. Yes, they have mold. Yeah.

Moldy cassettes. I'm so old and so post-hipster that I saw someone inwood and opened up a record store you know like a couple of years ago and i was like hey man just close down don't do that don't you know like i get what you're trying i was so past the nostalgia and the like romance of it i was like this is a bad idea this is a bad business idea this is not gonna make it and i'm concerned about your well-being just shut it down now i can find these blues albums online we don't need this just move back home so this can become a payless yes right now something people need uh nick i wanted to ask i think the last time you were on the show you talked talked about you and your son playing a lot of Pokemon Go.

I wanted to ask what the state of Pokemon Go is in the current climate and if it's something that you and your son are still doing. It's a lot of people, I feel like, walking around their block really briskly, hoping that Pokemon would just come to them instead of walking all over the city. But no, at a certain point, they did expand the range of the Pokestop

so that you can interact with a Pokestop without getting super close to it. Also, my son and I have taken to doing something, which there's a great video online if you want to see the world's best Pokemon player. He's a guy that lives in Taiwan and drives around with eight phones at a time. I have seen this video. It is absolutely amazing. It's amazing. There's something in Pokemon Go that

tracks your speed, right? So this guy is... Yes, he can't be driving, so he cruises really slow. And then you start a battle, then you can drive off and it will allow you to keep the battle so my son and i have i will confess done some driving pokemon like well i'll just go to where the gym is and park outside in the car and we play pokemon on our phone and

tablets and then we drive to the next place that's that's pretty much the extent of it that's uh that sounds really beautiful i wish my dad um had done that with me, even though Pokemon wasn't invented yet. But he should have done something about it. I don't know. I don't know exactly how he would have figured that out. But it was his duty as a father, and he failed. He did. He failed me.

There's been a real Poke revival here in my house. Oh, yeah? It's been precipitated primarily by Pokémon cards, which no one in my house knows how to play. I'm convinced nobody knows how to do that in the world. I, like, my six-year-old and eight-year-old and three-year-old will talk to each other about Pokémon cards for half an hour, comparing different numbers on it. They do not know what those numbers mean 100 and i'm like i could probably

figure out based on my memories of seventh grade how to play magic the gathering but i have nothing to offer i am five years too old to know how to play Pokemon cards. Right. And no one else seems to know. But I did the other day, just things were real rough in my house. And my kids, all they wanted was Pokemon cards. And I'm like, I am not going to make a trip to Target to buy Pokemon cards, exclusively Pokemon cards. That is not an essential trip.

That is the very definition of not an essential trip. So I thought about it. And I'm like, you know what? I have a small but loyal army of dorks. I will call upon them. And they are all like there is a cross is a cross-section of them that are too old to want their pokemon cards but young enough that they have pokemon sure sure i went on twitter within moments i said look i'll trade if anybody has unwanted pokemon cards preferably

ones that don't have any value uh i will trade some stuff from the closet at the office where we keep leftover stuff, like T-shirts that we have four left of and that kind of thing, for Pokemon, unwanted Pokemon cards. Within moments, a guy who lived literally three minutes drive from my house volunteered. And I'm like like this is it and

i went and picked up these pokemon cards from him like full-on drug deal style like 100 percent like on his stoop look around for cops palm to palm he had them he had them rolled up in a newspaper yeah we're like covered in you know we're all like wrapped up in our masks and whatnot, making this clandestine transfer of Pokemon cards. Were you worried that it was a sting? It very well may have been a sting. I was looking, I was out there looking for clam type Pokemon. Right.

I was looking for Bulbasaur, Charizard. How did the kids react to this guy's stash? Was there good shit in it? It doesn't matter. Was it the primo shit, Jesse? Was it the sticky icky? The Colombian gold? The thing is, my children...

The old Colombian squirtle? My children... Something the wife only does on my birthday. Have not interacted with their peers in six months, so they don't know what is a good Pokemon card. If it's got a Pokemon on it, it's good. You know? It's the perfect thing to give away something like that, too,

because you're like, I'll keep this until I die. I won't give it away. I'm not just going to throw it away. But then this one individual on the Internet says, oh, my kids want Pokemon cards. And you just like immediately can't wait to throw them out the window fast enough. I literally had a conversation with the guy. You know, this is like a 26 know a 26 year old guy or something you know a grown man but the kind of grown man whose uh mom puts things in his luggage when he

goes home to visit uh and he said he was home his mom said do you want me to throw these away and he said no and of course not and that it had been eight months and he had not thought of anything that he wanted to do with them since then. Right. I had not looked at them once. And he was just super pumped to let them out of his house but not have thrown them away. I think I was in my 30s when my mother told me that she had thrown away all my comic books. Yeah.

And similarly, I think they were somewhere at my aunt's house. And I was like, wait a minute. what do you mean you've thrown them away you didn't check with me before this happened you know i had lived in home at home for over a decade by that point and i still in my mind assumed that they were safe and sound to be handed down to the right person do you know what was in there, Nick? What comics got thrown out? Is there a couple of issues or something that you know were in there? I had some pretty early X-Men that I had gotten.

And then I was like pretty early on until like New Mutants. So I had like the first. Oh, sure. I had all the early New Mutants in there and like a few other that I, you know, used to be able to go into the catalog and see how much they were worth if you wanted to sell them.

So I had a few that were worth like a couple of bucks, which, you know, when I bought them, they were like 85 cents or whatever. So I had a few that were worth a few dollars, but, you know, definitely more sentimental. But yeah, it's so funny because I'll go to a restaurant and the waiter we used to go to a restaurant in the old days and the waiter would walk up and see my son playing with Pokemon or Beyblade and this 24, 25, 26 year old guy would just immediately be like oh my god I haven't seen one of those since I was 12 and just launch into this in-depth passionate conversation with my child you know you know they're weak to ghost types yeah exactly exactly bring my mozzarella sticks asshole i had that experience within my

office and i'm talking about my virtual office here i don't want anyone to be worried but within my office i have a colleague named jesus and chewy works on bullseye he's a sophisticated npr producer you know what i mean but i'm not gonna lie to you his desk is covered in pokemon's and he he dm'd me he said i think i think i probably have some pokemon cards for your kids i'm like yeah no shit that's like all your possession all your possessions in the world is Pokemon cards. I've seen your desk. But what happened is, so we really only have one employee who's going into the office, our office manager. She just goes in and she works there and hangs out and makes sure everything's okay. Dances around and reads. Got it?

Yeah, exactly. Well, if she's not, she's missing out. You know what I mean? Yeah, come on. Listen, if you're the one person going in the office, do a risky business. You got to. Do a risky business. If you're out there and you're the only person going into your office, do a risky business. Sorry if I sound mad, but if you're not doing a risky business, you're fucking up. So I said to chewy i said like look

i'm i'm your boss and i don't want to ask you for anything but if there really is if you really don't want any of the pokemons i'll i will be glad to accept them because my kids will really like them and you know uh uh kt our office manager she had to bring something by my house anyway so i was like she's she's dropping some stuff off in my mailbox uh so you can just tell her and he's like great i'll call kt because there's definitely some stuff i want to keep so i know that the two of them spent 45 minutes on the phone going through every pokemon on chewy's desk identifying which were keeper Pokemon and which were garbage Pokemons. I ended up with a copy of

Game Informer magazine, two Pokemon figurines, like a truly miscellaneous selection of Pokemon items. And I'm so grateful for them. I want to make that so clear. Every time you say put the S at the end

of Pokemons, I just think back to the early, to the 80s when people used to say the AIDS. Yeah, I mean, I think the, yeah, like a not in the know parrot would also talk about Nintendos. Do you want to go play Nintendos? Oh, and Matthew Dudley's mom called it Nytendo.

Oh, my God. Connie was a sweet lady. Connie was very sweet and called it Nytendo. Come on. Connie Dubs. Come on, Mom. Come on, Mom. What are you doing?

I think this points to one of the great lies that our generation was told. The lie being your cards and comics will be worth something at some point. If you spend more money on products to keep them in pristine condition, then they're actually worth to begin with. Yes, they will be worth something. Yes. Oh, yeah. We were all going to go to college on that death of superman issue I didn't even know superman could die

I'm almost old enough though that I remember thinking this is the first issue of a new comic book if this is successful I would be an idiot to not hold on to it you know power pack does anyone remember power pack

sure yeah I had the first issue of power pack i knew it was going to be worth a mint i thought it was going to be like the next spider-man who knew now today power pack is the governor of minnesota you're thinking of uh jesse the body ventura okay you. Let's check eBay. It looks like Power Pack is worth $8 million. Okay, great. Wow, yeah. Congratulations, bud. You showed a lot of foresight getting issue one of Power Pack.

I don't even know if I got the name of that stupid comic right. No, there's totally a Power Pack. There's Power Pack? I want to see how much Power Pack number one is worth. See how much I missed out on. Yeah, and I think that the comics industry caught on to that, and now there's just so many number ones all the time

that it's basically meaningless. It reminds me of, okay, first of all, eBay Power Pack issue number one is going for a cool $60. Whoa! Hey, that's not too bad actually i was uh that's more than i thought original purchase price was one dollar so you do the math i will not um uh so has that kid nick have they branched out because you're i feel like your kids have been playing pokemon go for a long time are they interested in like other games has it changed, or are they still just all Pokemon? It's funny that you should mention that, Jordan,

because my son has branched out into Pokemon Sword and Shield on the Nintendo Switch. Oh, wow. He's a real renaissance man then. Yeah. It is the number of times where my wife and I are in a room, engaged in a completely separate activity. And my son walks in, talks to us for about five minutes nonstop about some Pokemon, either cards, the Switch, the Pokemon Go.

Just talks to us for five minutes nonstop and then turns around and walks out of the room without us even commenting. You don't even have to say anything you just need he needs a sounding board he just needs like a pokemon sounding board just needs to yeah just needs to say it out yeah yeah that's basically what it is adults will often introduce me to their kids as a grown-up who knows a lot about video games um and i'm happy to be that guy and I'm happy you know and I love talking to kids and it worked out really well for me once I met a kid who was into Smash Brothers

we got to talk about Smash Brothers I was a fucking golden god for the afternoon but more often than not when an adult introduces me as an adult who knows about video games, it is always just like,

I, I, this is, this is going to be the old man is thing I've ever said, but it's always like something like Fortnite that I don't know jack shit. And then the kid like looks at their parents like they were lying. They're like, you said this guy knew about video games.

And like this one time a kid sat me down and, and handed me the Fortnight's right i hand he handed me his fortnight's on his nintendo and uh and i just i died immediately the kid got so mad at me and just yanked the controller back and like looked at like what the fuck he said this guy knew about video games it's like they thought they were tricked fortnight for me is like the dividing line like i like i was like oh this is the game that everyone's talking about knew about video games it's like they thought they were tricked fort fortnight for me is like the dividing line like i like i was like oh this is the game that everyone's talking about same thing i downloaded i played it so much lead up you gotta drop in the timer and then like i

was running around and doing stuff and i got sniped like eight seconds in and i was like i'm never playing this fucking game again i'm just i never playing it again. Yeah, it is a feeling like the world has left me behind. I am obsolete. I am going to die. I am just decaying meat. I know. Kids aren't impressed that I know all of Fulgore's ultra combos for Killer Instinct.

Oh my God. Killer Instinct. Fucking little bastards. Wouldn't know a good game if it bit them in the face. Do you ever feel like some of these kids don't even know what characters were added to the tournament edition? Yeah.

Well, are you talking about Killer Instinct Gold on the Nintendo 64? Is that the one you're talking about? Sure. Okay. Why not? Yeah, little motherfuckers. They don't appreciate the fact that Nas is on the Street Fighter soundtrack.

They don't know. It is. They don't know that. I've just been playing, as Jordan knows, you may know this as well, Nick. I really don't believe in any video games that don't involve agricultural products. that don't involve agricultural products. And so I've been playing this Zelda from four years ago or six years ago that Jordan gave me.

Jordan gave me his Nintendo Wii U. Oh, that's not that old. That's a two-year-old Zelda game. There you go. I've been playing this Zelda and God, do I love to wander around aimlessly in a video game. Oh, what a delight. Oh, yeah. That is a around aimlessly in a video game. Oh, what a delight.

Yeah. That is a, I do not like video game wandering, but the wandering in that is, is fucking great. It's great. I mean, I'm, I'm cursed because I'm of a certain age and demographic where if I play a game for more than a few minutes and I don't get to shoot someone in the head, I'm just like apoplectic and like, why am I even here? I'm a complete, I'm a socialist. and like, why am I even here? I'm a complete, I'm a socialist.

I like, I am a pacifist in my normal life. In my video game life, I am a bloodthirsty maniac. Anything like that wandering. I played Animal Crossing for a while and I was just like, I need to murder somebody. What am I doing in this game? It's not the same. What I like about playing this Zelda is you got to have special boots. Oh, I love it.

Yeah, you got to get Zora's flippers. Kind of make some arrows. Oh, so much cooking. Yeah, that Zelda game has stuff that i generally do not like in video games that it's just like so well done and fun yeah the cooking the little meals is great love to saute some fruit sure yeah you gotta you gotta take care of your cuticles in zelda you gotta like right you go to you go to therapy because that's work too that's work too You got to take care of your cuticles in Zelda. You got to like, right. You go to, you go to therapy because that's work too.

That's work too. It's a different kind of work. The second and fourth Thursdays are just for you. Just for you. Yes. And Dr. Sarah Howard. Sure. Um,

yeah. Uh, yeah. I mean, Blink's seen some shit though. Yeah, that's true. And you see it in flashback form.

Right, yeah. So you got to work that out. You got to work that out in some talk therapy. You wouldn't believe the number of beasts that I control now, Jordan. Oh, yeah? What do you... Oh, right, the... Yes, sure.

I'm trying to remember the stuff. What are they called? Immortal beasts? Yeah, those things. Zelda beasts. I'm Googling Divine Beasts. Divine Beasts. Oh, I got myself a camel. Like a giant

robo-camel made out of... That's great. Oh, God. I got a bird. I remember this bird man who went with me to catch the bird. God, what an asshole this bird man was. I was like, I'm off your team, bird man. Quit sassafras and me your your dialogue is awkwardly translated you loved prince sidon though right yeah tell me

you didn't like prince sidon yeah i like prince sidon the greatest character in fiction are you guys old enough to remember when like the video games were all like all the best games were made in japan and then, you know, they just like, okay, we just got to translate it. We just got to, you know, just swap it over to English. But they clearly didn't give

any thought into like the cadence and, you know, the meaning of the words. So you just get every single line of dialogue. It's like just breathlessly the characters like saying

as if he just ran a marathon. He just has to hurry. He's like getting paid by the minute. Like he just can't wait to rattle them off fast enough with no sense of like acting or voice, you know, voice acting at all. It's just like they found a Japanese person who knows some English. Now just like rattle this off. I mean, that is really not that far off from this Zelda game,

which is perfect in every way. Like maybe the best video game I've ever played in my life. And I'm truly like, you guys spent $100 million or something. Yes, yes. Thousands of people worked on it. Making this video game.

$300 million. Like you couldn't get, you couldn't find a hundred grand to get Tony Kushner in for the day. Just a punch-up. Just a punch-up. Just a quick polish. Sure, get Diablo Cody in there.

Yeah, should put a few zingers in. Meanwhile, there's 17 guys who worked on the feather in his hat. They actually hired Diablo Cody to work on the feather in his hat they actually hired Diablo Cody to work on the feather in the hat she's never even done any computer stuff before she's a writer not a Japanese game but I

got to help punch up a Crash Bandicoot game recently nice yeah it was fun as shit I bet it was new Crash Bandicoot game is going to be good anyway I don't think I have an NDA prevents me from talking about it anymore but I just wanted to say that I did it and it was. New Crash Bandicoot game's gonna be good. Anyway, I just, I don't, I don't think I have an NDA prevents me from talking about it anymore, but I just wanted to say that I did it and it was fun.

Are we talking about barrels, crates? What is he smashing? What is he smashing? I think I can say, oh boy, I don't know what I can. Okay. I can say that yes, this Crash Bandicoot game does include crate smashing. I know, people are gonna be going crazy on the forums.

I don't know if they've announced that yet. Maybe they were waiting for GamesCon. I don't know. But yes, you heard it here first. The Crash Bandicoot game, like every single other Crash Bandicoot game, will have crate smashing in it. There's also a level of nostalgia now. You're not nostalgic for anything that was good. You're just nostalgic for the shit when you were kids.

Like, my son likes to watch the, like, 90s Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario TV show, which are awful. They're not good. And I'm like, what? Well, there are different Sonic shows with different realities, right? Yeah, yeah. There's, like, a whole, like, timeline that they don't honor. But I'm like like you're not nostalgic for this you're just a child you shouldn't be watching this this is just objectively

bad tv you shouldn't watch this yeah don't children realize that children's tv got good eventually yeah nobody's watching like street sharks or like what was the time they're all those teenage mutant ninja turtle brave star biker mice from mars you know the like yeah can we All those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Brave Star. Biker Mice from Mars. The like, yeah, can we anthropomorphize an animal and put a bunch of crazy words in front of it? Give it sass. No one remembers this one, but they did Street Frogs, which was just like hip hop rapping frogs. Oh boy. Oh boy.

Do you remember what their names were? Were they like frog puns on rappers? No, I only remember the theme song because it was like bad, you know, like that Fruity Pebbles commercial from the 90s. It was just a really bad rap. And it was just but it was like clearly they're like what's close to turtles, frogs. They can't do martial arts. Maybe they break dance. It was amazing.

It was amazing. Guys, I'm sorry I haven't been talking much. I've been on Twitter trying to get hashtag Acorn TV bring back Gex with Dana Gould. I actually talked with the people who made Crash Bandicoot a little bit about Gex. There's a lot of warm feelings about Gex in the

game development community. And yeah, I think it's right for a reboot. Gex, enter the gecko, 1998. So what are our assignments for Queeby? Bring back dinosaurs, not the mama. Can Queeby help us with Gex somehow?

No, I'm relying on Acorn TV. I think they're running out of episodes of Detectorists and other British prestige shows. So yeah, I think the time is right for them to make a Gex game. Power Rapper the Rapper? Oh, yeah. yeah i think of the it's the time is right for them to make a gex game power rapper the rapper oh yeah there's so much so much to bring back it's a lot of content maybe oh that's it that's it a new network to to rival the quibbies and the pops and the peacocks of the world right all video game adaptations oh shit that's all we do that's all we do. That's all we do.

No game too obscure. Nope. Blastermaster, Battletoads, Vector Man. How long should I list things for? Sword of Vermillion. Pong Combat. Yes. You know what?

How about a battle chess show? The pitch is it's Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones. High fantasy battle chess show. They show poker on TV. To be fair, Nick, isn't that what you bring into the pitch room every time you pitch

a TV show? Look, first of all, they show poker on TV. So, that's the baseline they show poker on TV. Okay? So that's the baseline. Let's establish that. That's not bad. I grew up, I was born and raised in North Carolina, and I have many a fond memory of watching Putt-Putt on television.

Dear God. What? Like with windmills and bridges and stuff? Notice I didn't say miniature golf. I said Putt-putt. The brand name, putt-putt. Competition on television. Oh, my gosh.

Were there guys who like... It was a fully produced sports broadcast in every way. And it was just at like a fun center that also had a hot dog stand in an arcade? I don't know if we would say at a fun center that also had a like hot dog stand in an arcade i don't know if we would say at a fun center you know but like the premium fun center in a charlotte or like a greensboro or wally durham chop wheel of course finally we're getting away from the la local stuff and getting to the north carolina butt butt stuff the lates, early 90s regional sports stuff that everyone is dying to hear on Jordan, Jesse Go. I mean, the real question, Nick, and this is the one that's been on the tip of the tongue of every Jordan, Jesse Go listener as we've been talking today is,

did they have pizza restaurants that had giant pipe organs in them in North Carolina? We had, no, no, we did not have that one. Is that like a regional thing? Yeah, we had a very lovely conversation last week about our childhood pizza places. And Jesse's was one that also included a pipe organ. And I guess it is a part of, maybe not a chain, but it's a style of restaurant.

Like the pizza and pipe organ thing. No, it's not. I think so. It felt like people on Twitter were like, I've been to that place, and it was like in Oregon. Yeah, absolutely. One place, though? Like the same place? So there still is one.

So the one that I went to, and I went to one time for Tony McCauley's probably 10th birthday party, was it pizza? It was called Pizza and Pipes. And it was in like Burlingame. It was in the peninsula south of San Francisco. And San Bruno, maybe. is no longer extant but there is one called pizza and pipes in sacramento california which is you know a solid two hours drive away and then there are other pipe organ pizza restaurants that people brought up in our reddit i don't know one of them involved a pipe organ that also played other instruments that were like around the restaurant, like drums and stuff. What? Yeah. You know, it's like how you like there would be something that was clearly a knockoff Chuck E. Cheese. Yeah.

Right, right. We didn't have Chuck E. Cheese. We had showbiz pizza, but it was the same thing. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, maybe it was just a general concept that someone decided to steal. Yeah, just, you know, what people want when they have a slice.

Just ridiculous circus music. Yeah, I know. Yeah, when you're eating your pizza, you want the feeling of going slowly insane. Yeah. Can you at least play the doors or something so I don't hate my life right now? We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse Go. It's Jordan, Jesse Go.

I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, a boy detective. Nick, repeat, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. It's Jordan, Jesse Goh. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, a boy detective. Nick, repeat, Adams. In the break, Jordan gave me some invaluable Zelda advice, which is got to do that Tarrytown side quest. Do the Tarry, listen, if anybody else is listening and you're wondering whether to do the Tarrytown side quest, if it looks like it has too much, you know, boring, busy work, and you wonder if it's worth it,

I'll just say it's worth it. Do the Tarry. I'm not, listen, I'm not 100%-er. I don't need to do every side quest. I like to do the main game and then put it away, move on to the next game, but oof, this Tarrytown side quest. Is it going to help me figure out what

i need to do with all these ancient gears no it's just one of those video game resources that you collect a lot of and then the game ends and you're like why did i have so many of those just make a bunch of like uh legendary arrows and shoot them at shit because it's fun whoever the godfather is of video games he definitely was like a small child with a tiny backpack who didn't have enough room for his school supplies and shit. And he was just like, you know what? When I grow up. And then I'm going to graduate high school with 400 erasers. Why don't you get rid of some of these?

Hey, Hideo, you don't need all these. You don't know. You don't know. Okay. It's't know. Okay. It's MaxFunDrive time. We went on Twitter. Our pals in the MaxFun office or in the virtual MaxFun office asked what MaxFun could do for listeners right now. What we could do to support listeners right now.

And the replies we got were so heartwarming and comforting and really made me feel like there's a reason that I exist on earth. I mean, I'm literally picking one at random here but hannah from blue hill maine said keep making wonderful comforting uplifting content as you always do um benny in frankfurt michigan said keep being the amazing producers of content that you are. Like for me, being in an extraordinarily tough time right now for everyone and certainly for me personally and my family, I know that I have relied on MaxFun shows for comfort. I've relied on MaxFun shows for laughs and friendship that wasn't available to me otherwise in in really tough times like i've been i you know i i'll just i've been going back and listening to old flop house episodes and every week plugging into my stop podcasting yourself and my heat rocks is so important to me all these shows in maximum fun

that that are great comfort and and it is my hope that the work that we do on jordan jesse go as stupid as it is has that kind of feeling for you that it gives you something like that yeah i also in uh in in in in the times we are now, definitely like love it when my favorite podcast gets, uh, you know, gets plunked into my feed there. And like, um,

and I was also just thinking the other day about how some of my favorite podcasts, like just go away, you know, how podcasts just stop because of the, if they become a burden on the hosts and producers um and yeah and how i was thinking how cool it is that like you know this is how max fun makes its money and as long as people are like hey this is cool i'm gonna kick

in a couple of bucks every week for this thing that i like that these shows can continue and there's not, you know, an interruption in the shows. They, you know, I, because like, man, I sure rely on those couple of shows to come in when they're supposed to come in and they're so important for like my week and stuff like that. So yeah, I, I, I really love it that this is the way that Max fun does business because it means that, you know, if a sponsor bows out or,

you know, the world economy collapses or something like that, just to think of a random example, you know, the shows can keep coming. Like it's not, you know, it's not some giant company deciding,

you know, can the show continue or can the show not continue. It's the listeners. It's them saying, yeah, we like this. Here's a couple of bucks. Give me some free stuff and make sure the show keeps coming. It's really awesome. It's the reason that this show exists. It's the reason that this show has existed

for as long as it has. Yeah, it's just I'm really, really thankful that people voluntarily kick in for it. It just means the world. Yeah. There's a lot of different stuff that can use your support right now, obviously. There's a lot of reasons that you might not be in a position right now to offer financial support.

We understand and appreciate that entirely. If you are in a position to support Maximum Fun and this show and us right now, we sure appreciate it. All you have to do is go to MaximumFun.org slash join. There are all kinds of levels to give. Most people support us at five or 10 bucks a month, some 20 bucks a month or more. No matter what the level is, we're very grateful for your support. And of course, you're going to get really cool gifts if you join. Every single monthly member gets access to our treasure trove of now, I don't know, thousands of hours of MaxFun bonus content. I think we've got at least 20 or 25 bonus episodes of Jordan, Jesse, Go at this point. Yeah, we talked about this a little bit

before the MaxFun drive got delayed, but we we can i don't remember all our bonus episodes but i'm gonna say this is the most fun craziest bonus episode we've ever recorded uh with our buddy uh ben harrison from the greatest generation we did a jordan jesse go drinking game uh the rules of which we did not know going into it they were uh crowdsourced by our listeners. And we did an episode of Jordan, Jesse Go and just played along. Ben and I drank warm Bud Light seltzers. Jesse, you drank marijuana infused soda. And it was very funny, very unpleasant. Yeah, and I am very excited for people to hear it. That's just one of the bonus episodes you get when you join, and there's a bunch of them, but that one was particularly fun.

And yeah, if people want to play along with the drinking game, more power to you. We've got all kinds of sweet pins, a sweet pin designed by our buddy Meg Lynn Cott.

All that and more available to you at maximumfund.org join more than anything though i just want to take this opportunity to thank every single maximum fund member um i know that as uh as you know i'll just be frank as the advertising economy has collapsed, as, uh, media has become much, much harder to make and, uh, and to make a,

make a living from as the world has gotten very scary around us, Max funds members have stood with us and it's the reason we're able to do this. Um, and it's the reason that we're able to, you know, we've committed to, to keeping all of our staff on for all of their hours. Um, it's the reason we've been able to do that. Like, uh, it's really a, um, it's really a blessing that, that, that you choose to support us. And I, I just want to say, I just want to say thank you. Yeah, it's really awesome. You know, I think, Jesse, it was a very funny story,

but I was also genuinely very touched when you talked about reaching out on Twitter asking for old Pokemon cards and people left into action. I think that is because, you know, asking for old Pokemon cards and people left into action. I think that is because, you know, MaxFun fans are basically the best people on the whole internet. I think about it all the time, how lucky we are to do these shows for, like, nice, warm-hearted people who we like

and would like to hang out with, even if we, you know yeah even if we if there wasn't a podcast relationship involved um yeah it it's you know you don't always get to pick your fans and it just happens that max fun attracts genuinely cool sweet warm-hearted people and uh who not only you know will meet you in a back alley to give you some old Pokemon cards, but they'll also go online and kick in a couple of bucks even if they don't have to.

Yeah. It's MaximumFun.org. And thanks, everybody, very, very, very much. Nick, how are you doing? You still still awake i'm here okay great i'm reveling in the honesty man this is a it's a it's a great service that you guys provide and it's one of the few places that you can go in the in the media that's kind of free of snark and stupid irony and it's just earnest people making good content man i mean look at nick adams this is our friend from when we were in college nick adams and i i think about this a lot when i think about my friendship with nick you know nick and i met on a rap message board in like 2000. Yes.

Oh my God. And Nick was, Nick was an aspiring standup comic in Arizona. That hotbed of standup comedy. Yes. And I was, I was an aspiring public radio host in Santa Cruz. Jordan was aspiring to be anything but a public radio host in Santa Cruz. Jordan was aspiring to be anything but a public radio host,

also in Santa Cruz, though. And I never, like, the thought that a weird scheme like this could actually work out that, nick is nick is writing for one of the he's been writing for one of the best and most important sitcoms on television like jordan is writing a movie that someone's paying him for right right like and it's because of it's because of all these people over all these years who have who have like stood behind us and and propped us up like we were crowd surfing or something you know it's really it's really genuinely amazing to me and and i mean look my dad died the other day and the kindness that people showed me was so

extraordinary. Like it was almost more than I could process, you know? And, but I would never have expected anything else. I've, it, it just,

we just got lucky and, and we're, we're really, we're really grateful for it. Yeah, for sure. Anyway, we're, we're really, we're really grateful for it. Yeah, for sure. Anyway, we also have a show that,

that is going to be in the bonus feed. That's, it's just us playing songs about Walton Goggins. Yeah, check it out. We recorded a special, people have been asking for an all Goggins episode, a retrospective.

I think people wanted all the Goggins songs in one place. Yeah, they wanted it to be over. So they, so Brian, by the way, he's been doing just a fucking bang up job making sure this show gets made during the quarantine. I know I have made it very difficult for him. So Brian, yeah. So Brian put together all the Goggins songs, some B-sides, some stuff you haven't heard yet,

and we did a little listening cocktail party with Dan and Stu from The Flophouse, and it was so much fun. So yeah, if you want to take a trip through the world of... Because I like early Goggins. Yes, sure. You know, before it got too commercial. Yeah, I hear you. through the world of... Because I like early Goggins. Yes. You know, before it got too commercial.

Yeah, I hear you. When it was just about the music. Major League sequel he's in. Yeah, back when he was playing Gilman Street. You like an all-ages show for Goggins. Sure. No alcohol, no drugs, no racism. Just Goggins and Rancid.

Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love a message for Paul from Robert up on the Jumbotron. It says, happy birthday, brother. Figured I'd give a shout out on your favorite podcast to make up for when mom forgets to call you again. I did not even know until recently that other people's family members called them on their birthdays but i'm glad that paul i'm glad paul's looking out for for his brother robert what a what a lovely sentiment um the only thing is uh i do want to let robert know that paul's favorite podcast is

history of rome so it's just kind of embarrassing that this would be. They don't have a Jumbotron thing, but. That's true. Just so he knows. Yeah. I'm happy to be second fave, though. If you want to get up on the Jumbotron, it's MaximumFun.org slash Jumbotron. But if something momentous happens to you, we want you to call us

at 206-984-4FUN or just send us a voice memo at JJGo at Maxim at maximumfun.org. Here is one such momentous occasion. Hi, Jordan, Jesse, and I'm going to guess one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. This is Sam calling from somewhere in the middle of California. I just wanted to share my momentous occasion, which is that I just finished a backpacking trip, and I smell so bad that the bear that I saw ran away from me instead of me running away from it. That's all.

I hope you're doing well and I'm staying safe in quarantine. Smell you later, goobers. Wow. Really went out strong there. Yeah, dude, I like that vibe. The next time you're calling it a momentous occasion, insult us at the end. Yeah, I mean, if you took down a bear,

you've earned it. Nagging your podcast host. I also like how he just said, I'm just somewhere in the middle of California. He's keeping it mysterious. Am I in Fresno? Chico? Am I in Visalia? Who knows?

Could be Bakersfield. You'll never know. Very cagey. Yeah, I like that. Is it possible that the bear just ran away because he was making himself big? Or is that mountain lions? I think both. so don't listen don't use this podcast as an advice about what to do in case of bear attacks look into that consult your uh look if it's a if the if the bear is attacking you you got just as

good of a chance using our advice as you do whatever the recommend I feel like the only bear that Jordan Jesse Go's advice would work on is possibly Bob Mould. Sure. I feel like maybe with Bob. Maybe. I don't know.

Let's take another call. Hi, this is Andy, and I heard on a recent episode a discussion of what Wallace Shawn is like, and I have a story of what Wallace Shawn is like, and I have a story about what Wallace Shawn is like that I would like to share with you. I have an MFA in playwriting, and as part of my graduate study, we were encouraged in our third year to pick a playwright we admired to sort of be our mentor for our thesis production, and I reached out to Wallace Shawn. I sent him an email, and he responded saying that he is not a nice person,

and he uses up all of his available emotional energy being a halfway decent partner to Deborah Eisenberg, and therefore had none left over to mentor young writers but he wished me luck. Later that year I saw him at a production of one of his plays I said I liked it and he said oh thank you. Love the show.

So basically Wallace Shawn is the greatest person ever. Yeah sure. Love the honesty. Love the honesty. Love the honesty. What a thrill. I bet he has his own stationery, too. I bet he got that letter on a nice piece of personalized stationery. Wally Dubs.

Wait. W. Sean's. W. D's. One of the names of those rapid frogs yeah if he had just finished the letter of like me mentoring you would be inconceivable yours always

you gotta give him a little something you gotta give him a little something yeah he knows what people want to hear yeah play the hits. Yeah. No new shit, Wallace. No new shit, WD.

We came here to hear Inconceivable. No shit from my dinner with Andre. Brian also sent us an overseen, a listener spotted, I don't know if this was in New York, but the car has New York plates. A car with the personalized plate, Waluigi. What? Instead of eyes.

It, and I just want to say, if you're in the New York area and you see this car, hit it with a turtle shell. He'll get it. He'll get it. He'll get it. He'll be shocked at first, like, oh, what the fuck just hit my window?

And then he'll go like, oh, it was a turtle shell. That's funny. He'll be upset that his car is spinning 360 degrees over and over. Yeah, right. I just picture some 75-year-old guy named Luigi who's originally from Washington State just driving around New York. Every 20-something, 30-something he sees is honking their horns at him, waving like a madman.

That actually, I don't know if you knew this, Nick. I don't know how much Nintendo lore you know, but that is pretty close to the origin story of Waluigi. He was an Italian guy from Seattle named Luigi who turned evil when the Sonics left town. Yeah. He's like, I never got to see Kevin Durant at his peak. I bought the rookie jersey and everything

and they move him out of town. Yeah. It's tough times. Tough times in Washington State there without Kevin Durant. Okay. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jesse Go. It's Jordan Jesse Go. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective.

Nick Waluigi Adams. Are you, yeah, you're the evil Nick Adams.ams yeah he's one of my go-tos in uh mario kart so oh yeah what is his i guess i have not i have not played the most recent mario kart what are waluigi's attributes in mario kart is he like good handling is he he speed? Why choose him, I guess, is my question. My Mario Kart 8 experience is 20 minute increments so that my children will leave me alone. So I play it and I don't ask any questions and then I'm done. So I don't know any of the details. So it's a cosmetic choice to choose Waluigi. Okay. No, I mean, that's a perfectly fine reason to choose Waluigi, I think. He's got a snazzy outfit.

Yeah. He's got that crazy pointy mustache, too. Oh, absolutely. He looks great. He looks like he owns an all-cassette tape record store.

In, like, one of the neighborhoods in Northeast LA that I am convinced they're making up. Like, when I moved here, there was three neighborhoods

over there. Now, every time I hear about a new restaurant, it's in a different El Sereno. That's not a real neighborhood. Stop it. That's not real. Have you got the hot chicken sandwich in Washburg? No, I haven't. It's a pop-up thing.

They're only there Tuesday, Thursday, and part of Sunday. That's a good thing to end on, right? Local jokes? Yeah. Nick, quick. Hyper local that even if you live in the valley, you have no idea what the fuck we're talking about. Nick, quick.

Do some North Carolina mini golf material. Bring the audience back. Bring the audience back. Also, Nick, bring Herman's head back. Who here's been to Burlington recently, huh, guys? Whoa. You know, this motherfucker has. They got more than a co-factory, bitches.

Was that the line that always got you your free slice of pie at the Marie Callender's stand-up venue? That was my big closer. Yeah. Hey, one last thank you to the good people who go to maximumfund.org slash join uh jesse there's a lot of cool like max fun stuff going on this week what is there anything in particular people should look out for people should check out the schedule at maximumfund.org because we have a four charity live streaming event every week during the drive. We had an awesome – it's like we got trivia night with Hodgman and Chuck Bryant kicking things off.

It's going to be really fun. show our appreciation for the literally thousands of people who keep our lights on at maximum fun and have done through this whole awful ordeal that we're all going through. I'm very, very grateful to every single one of you. And so is Jordan. It means a lot to us. And, and, uh, and again, like, I want to be really clear. We know there's a lot of people out there who are really struggling and, and, uh, our hearts are with you. Um, uh, this too shall pass. And, um, uh, we're not, we're not asking you to go to maximumfund.org slash join, but if you do have the means, we're very grateful if you can. So we want to thank everybody who supports the show in every way, not just folks who support it with money.

It's really why we can do it and why we've been able to do it for these 13 years or whatever it is. I mean, roughly since dire wolves roamed the earth. Right. Yes. From the, from the Triassic onward.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so, so much. It's, it's, it's awesome.

And it is a, it is a weird time to be asking for money. I think like Jesse says, there's like a lot of organizations that could use your spare cash these days. And yeah, we encourage you to, you know, give to whoever needs it most. But yeah, we really like appreciate people who find a couple extra bucks for MaxFun. It's awesome. It's, you know, it's not just the hosts.

It's everybody who makes sure that the podcasts get out every week, you know. So yeah, it's really, really awesome. And if you do have a couple extra bucks for MaxFun, boy, we really appreciate it. And, yeah, and hopefully you have a lot of fun with that bonus content. It was fun to make, for sure. I also wanted to, speaking of charity, thank everybody who gave to Swords to Plowshares in memory of my dad or in recognition of my dad.

I got an email from the folks at Swords and they said, just for folks who filled out the box that says, what is this for? They raised about $10,000. It's going to go directly to services to veterans and um uh i just it means a lot it means a lot to me and it means a lot to my family so uh thanks thanks on that front too we've gotten so much support in so many ways and uh uh thank you yeah um brian sunny d fernandez is our producer on the program nick repeat adams has been thank you.
