Episode Date: August 27, 2008

Jesse and Jordan are joined by comedian and actor Al Madrigal, best known as "The Man of 81 Voices," for his delightful and difficult to distinguish from each other impressions.

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 sex and run you. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. And I'm Jordan Morris, boy detective. And this is Jordan, Jesse, Go! Icicles, tricycles, ice cream, candy, lollipops, popsicles, licorice sticks, Salmon, friendly, maggoty, edgy, plus Jordan is deeply, profoundly, astonishingly, surprisingly offended by MTV's The Hills.

Let's go. It's Jordan, Jesse Goh, I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective with us alongside us joining jordan on the big orange couch uh comedian actor al madrigal al welcome to the show it has been a long time the last time we saw each other al before this time was a benefit a high times benefit show for the legalization of marijuana in San Francisco. Horrible show. How did we get booked?

Do you remember how we got involved in that, Jordan? I wasn't involved in this. Did you invite us to be in this? I did not invite you. I was just excited to see you there. Wait, what do you do? I've never been to a high times benefit in my life. Oh, maybe you weren't there, Jordan.

Maybe it was just me and Jim and somebody else. This was a Prank the Dean show. Prank the Dean that we had in college. And after college. This was after college. But it was a High Times show. Did we write some pot-themed sketches for that? No.

Yes, we did. We did write a pot-th pot themed sketch did you write any pot themed sketches how i don't really do any pot related jokes you do talk slow though i talk slow and i look big and so they decided i was gonna i made the tour right oh wow they took me out it was me and doug benson yeah who does largely largely a lot of weed jokes and it was just sort of a fiasco i mean we went uh i choked a guy in detroit you choked a guy but benson after that i stayed on stage for 25 minutes and then choked a guy so let's hear the specifics of choking the guy so um they had us doing doing Detroit is a horrible place.

And even going over there with... This guy was early Dennis Rodman, just to be clear. This is Pistons Dennis Rodman. Performed there in Detroit twice. With Mitch Hedberg. It was in the Stephen Lynch-Mitch Hedberg tour. And that was a horrible gig.

People yelling out constantly. I feel like you were on the Sound of Young, that's when you were on the Sound of Young America when you were touring with Stephen Lynch and Mitch Hedberg. So I came when I came to Santa Cruz. That was a long time ago. Well, it's when iFatty came out, because I know that you were,

I think we were interviewing the guy from, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Really, no? Yeah. I don't know. That story checks out yeah it was yeah we interviewed the guy who wrote i fatty yeah yeah absolutely you're right and he just worked on i what's his name again i'm sorry and didn't we interview i think we also interviewed bobcat

goldpoint yes we did yeah who was super super nice a great guy really great guy i've worked with him since and he's just wonderful oh well anyway you were talking about i want to hear a choking story i was trying to get away from choking the choking story anyway so story you'd like bobcat goldthwaite is choking this guy so police academy six right guys absolutely everyone's favorite uh actually so john panette was it took bobcat's role in the six and i think bobcat did one, two, and maybe three, but dropped out after a while. Then Panette came in to sort of be the fat, crazy guy. He wasn't playing Bobcat's role.

This wasn't a Darren and Bewitched situation, was it? No, no, no. There was a new recruit at the Academy. I think that's what they called them, the new recruits. That was the Police Academy, six new recruits. You know what happened to me at that High Times show that I remember better than anything else? You guys ate it. That's what I remember.

They did not have its best night. They were not there to see sketch comedy. Let me put it that way. It truly was not there. Sketch comedy is horrible to do. This is a bad crowd. Some old, creepy, normal guy got up and talked. Oh, he talked for a long time.

Okay, but speaking of old, creepy... What was our pot-themed sketch? I forget what was the... I wrote it for that. I think it was that old sketch we used to do on The Sound of Young America. It was based on the sketch where we talked about everything that hemp could do okay you remember when we said you know

george washington was made of hemp or whatever we said i don't remember what the jokes were but uh i i have met a comedian uh a long-standing uh well-regarded comedian, Rick Overton, twice. One was when I drove him somewhere for a job. I was taking him to the airport. I picked him up at Robin Williams' house, but he wouldn't tell me where it was. I didn't know it was Robin Williams' house. He could have just not told me it was Robin Williams' house

instead of refusing to tell me the address when I was coming to pick him up. He's like, it's near something, something. Like as though I do a quick reverse lookup on everyone that I pick up, and I'm like, oh, it's Robin Williams' house. I better case the joint, then later break into it and steal, kidnap Robin Williams. And this was in Seacliff in San Francisco, correct? Yeah, exactly.

Meanwhile, Robin Williams has a spectacular Halloween candy giveaway, and all the kids line up outside Robin Williams' house. Exactly. And they know this. So it's a secret location. To be fair, though, you are a big collector of memorabilia from Bicentennial Man. Yeah, that's true. So I can see how they would want it, knowing that.

I gotta get that suit! That's the last piece in your collection, the suit? Peeking around a corner. Yeah. I already have Stephen Root frozen in my closet. So he got mad at me because I didn't want him to smoke up in my car, which was actually my mother's car that I borrowed from my mother. So he got upset with me.

I was like, really? You're upset with me? I mean,, really, you're upset with me? I mean, I'm not being a dick about it or anything. I just would rather not have. If you asked if you could smoke a cigarette in my car, I would also have said, no, I'd rather you didn't. So that was my one experience with him. And he didn't remember me when I met him.

He played that benefit. He didn't remember me at all. But he immediately shook hands with me and launched into an angry tirade about the legalization of marijuana i was like oh well i mean i'm fine with the legalization of marijuana i have no objection to this and i don't know where he got the idea that i was someone who needed convincing to get on board maybe he thought i was in the audience just an audience member yeah yeah i think and we were in the green room which is a one point did to discount

that theory although to be fair to be fair you probably were wearing a top hat and a monocle making you seem like an old fuddy duddy right he did pie you in the face after he said that he did pie me that explains why you bought because that was the other thing. Why did he pie me? You're an old buddy-daddy who doesn't like joints or rock music. First he explained to you all you were wrong, and then he gave you the pying of a lifetime. So the green room, just to describe to people, had more weed in it than I had ever seen in my entire life. Oh, yeah.

Was there like bowls of joints? How did the high times people? There was a guy around that was growing it and just had recently got busted. He had a creepy little guy that's all hemp.

There was these strange old ladies in there. I do not like the normal people. It was full of some weird, weird 60-year-olds. Yeah. Some creepy, and they were, they were ready to tell you all about their cause.

Sure, and they're not doing that cause any favors. Oh, jeez louise. You'd think like, oh, I like something sort of semi-unpopular. Like, you know, when I go out and talk about this, I should probably look as normal as possible. I probably shouldn't wear my wavy gravies. They call the thing normal. Sure, and they have freakish people. Oh, boy.

Is this part of the vernacular, normal? I guess I don't know what that refers to. It's the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws is what it stands for. It should be called the National Organization of Creepy 60-Year-Olds. One of my favorite moments was a comic that came out. I think about the worst comic at the show. I forget.

It's the, and his name was, he did Schwarzenegger impression. It was horrible. He comes outside, and everyone's saying, I think I got this. That must have been when Rick Overton was berating me for no reason. This one moment outside, we're standing outside with the promoters. Just all look at each other. And he walks out. He goes, hey, does anybody got any Coke? There's been more.

They're like, sir, we're going to have to kindly ask you to leave. This is not the Coke. Yeah. It's Norcal. Yeah. By the way. So anyway, so we take the show out on the road. And we do Detroit.

And it's the worst possible show you could ever do. No chairs. And so it's going to be, we're doing it in rock clubs. Oh, geez. It's a horrible idea. I have no objection to doing a comedy show in a rock club. But boy, as an audience member, do I hate not having a chair for what amounts to a theatrical performance? You know who I think really did that well is Comedians of Comedy.

Really? Because when I went to the Comedians of Comedy, I was real sick of standing by about minute 40. Really? It was awful. I don't like standing at all. I don't like going. I don't want to stand for a really long time. If it's music, you still don't really like it,

but it sort of drives you through that discomfort, because you're dancing, you're jumping up and down. You can walk around. Here you've got to stand and just pay attention. So it's a horrible idea, and I've never been to a comedians and comedies show, and I don't really enjoy going out to see other comics do comedy.

You hate comedy. I think there's the philosophy, like, oh, let's the philosophy like oh let's let's let's get away from the cover charges and the drink minimums and just have a show and i understand but yeah like bring in some bring in some like at least tell people they can bring their own lawn chairs or something you know yeah so exactly tell people they can bring their own lawn chair because 20 of them will do it and that will solve the problem and i could have ended up beating a guy with a lawn chair okay so what were the why what were the circumstances of the choke just

ended up being horrible chatter the entire time no one was concentrating yelling out constantly well like what is what like what for example would people yell out? Just, you suck, or... Just guttural noises. Hey, you're talking to a friend. They're looking for coke, is what they're doing. Got the coke! Coke! Same guy, same bad comic from before. Was that guy wearing a fedora, by the way?

I feel like that guy was wearing a fedora. Maybe at one point. I think it was too high. Did he ask for the wearing a fedora. Maybe at one point. Yeah. It was too high. Did he ask for the Coke in the Arnold Schwarzenegger voice? Yeah. And so one of the worst comics I've ever seen. We're there.

We're on this tour. You should see him when he gets the Coke, though. He's really good when he can find some Coke. The worst guy ever. He's like early Robin Williams in that sense. He's so bad guy he's like early robin williams in that sense he's so bad when he's not on the coke and uh just just to be around a general he's one of the worst guys so uh we're there and uh i just can't take it anymore i i have been pushed i'm trying to barrel through it i'm bad with crowd interaction anyway when it comes to being too aggressive. So I'm just going to try to be cool and get through it.

And I had my incident at the big Latino comedy jam that I talk about, hopping fences and yelling at people and telling people off. But now I'm going to be a real pro, and I'm just going to go. And this guy in the front is having a full conversation. I say to him, and I go, dude, please, can you shut up? Stop. And stop talking. You're talking in the front row.

And he gives me one of these, the hand, just do your jokes, bro. Just try to be funny. I just laid into him at that point. And I said, if you don't stop having a conversation, I'm going to come down, I'm going to choke the shit out of you right now. This was mid-comedy show, right? This was mid-comedy show. I said, so guess what?

This is your opportunity to run. You can swear. Is swearing okay? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. It's encouraged. Yeah, so run now, because I'm going to do my last bit. I'm going to close up on some more baby jokes that I've been doing in front of you assholes. And then I'm going to come down and choke you, so you better run.

And I finished up, closed, strong, as strong as he possibly could. Sure. After threatening to strangle him. After threatening the guy. That's how I really had their intention at that point. And I got off stage and I said, thank you very much. And I walked around and I grabbed the guy by the shirt collar and I dragged him into the adjoining pool hall. And I choked him into one of the promoters, ran up and stopped me.

And I got about three minutes of good solid choking in. Wow. That's a fair volume of choking. Yeah, no, I really had him choked out. Were there no people that were in charge of this? This is Detroit, man. I think the guys. It of choking. Yeah, no, I really had him choked out. Were there no people in charge of this? This is Detroit, man. It's Detroit. They just got a pack of wild dogs to take care of this.

I've never been to Detroit. But the High Times Comedy Show, and then we hadn't seen each other before that. It was just a Jerry Stahl interview, and that was a while ago. That was a long time ago. Yeah. Remember that, Jordan? And you and I have never seen each other That's something too

Well we'll be back in just a second With more fond reminiscences Of choking On Jordan Jesse Go Jordan Jesse Go I'm Jesse Thorne, America's Radio Sweetheart. Jordan Morris, Boy Detective. With us, the one and only Al Madrigal. We encourage the guest to think of a nickname if you want to.

If you want to think of a nickname. You're an adult, though. You're like a father. I feel weird asking an adult with his shit together and kids to think of a nickname. It seems just condescending. Did Jimmy Pardo have a difficult time thinking of a nickname? I'm sure he did. He's the shooter. He's already got one.

The shooter he is. He's the shooter. Oh, shit. He's the shooter. People actually call him the shooter. Oh, really? I had no idea. Which is really great because it's a really good nickname.

I mean, you can't begrudge that to anyone. I have had a couple nicknames. I used to be called Smiling Al in college. Smiling Al, that's pretty good because you were always smiling. Yeah, I was happy. Let's see. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Smiling Al.

Smiling Al is pretty good. Smiling Al is good. That's really solid. I don't even need to hear the other ones. Yeah, let's stick with that one. They're probably bad. Smiling Al Madrigal. That's good. That's hear the other ones. Yeah. Let's stick with that one. They're probably bad. Smiling Al Madrigal. That's good.

That's A- at least. Sure. I'm here to smile. When you have the nickname, can you still use the rest of your name? Yeah. Because we have Jordan Boyd Detective comes after. Right. You want the name so that people can look you up on MySpace after they listen to the show, Al.

I hope no one goes to my MySpace. Have you heard about MySpace, Al? It's something that Dane Cook used to entertain college girls. I'm really days away from taking down my MySpace altogether. Wow, that's a bold move. Did you have a really negative MySpace experience? You couldn't nail that fucking gopher coming out of the hole? Oh, I know.

He couldn't guess whose butt it was. Yeah. Well, do you know somebody posted your picture up at – have you been getting that spam lately? No. Oh, see, I'm getting the same spam message over and over again. It's driving me crazy. I mean, I'm, you know, I've noticed, at least in my circle or in my group of MySpace friends, like MySpace activity has slowed to a, you know, to a crawl, to a molasses crawl. Nobody's really using it anymore.

It seems everybody's moved on to the Facebook, and I just don't feel like I need another internet thing in my life. You've already got the Twitter. Oh, boy, I did not expect to like Twitter so much. I didn't even want it, but it's there and it's sticking around for a while. So you didn't embrace Facebook?

No, I didn't. It just seems like too much. And every time somebody explains it to me, I get confused. It's so much better. It is dramatically better, but I have to say that as much better as facebook is than myspace i still don't understand what it's good for it's not good for it's good better

for communicating and filtering out the spam uh communicating and filtering out the spam i think it's gotta be yeah but i mean email is really good for communicating it really is it's called electronic mail yeah um speaking of friends i was you I used to, and kind of seems like the last wave of activity I had was just the false sluts. Are you guys aware of the false sluts? The MySpace sluts? I try and work with true sluts. Well, ooh la la. What's the false sluts on MySpace?

Do you guys know when you just. It's a picture of just some really hot bikini chick. And then you're like, hey, all right, this hot bikini chick wants to be my friend. And then you go to the hot bikini pic's page, and she's only got six friends, and you look under her pictures, and there's just one photo. That's a fake hot bikini chick. It always says something in her thing like – How magical, just celebrated with a pump of her ass. He's like, nailed her.

Yeah, man, you took those fake women to task. That is who you're talking about, right? Yeah, no, it is. And then, you know, usually understated, it's like, hey, I'm just here to meet some new people. By the way, I made a lot of money filling out surveys online. Yeah. Anyways, and so I had this wave of slut activity. And I was like, ah, Jesus, is all this is for anymore is fake commercial sluts.

And then recently I haven't even been getting fake sluts anymore, and I found myself going like, I wonder what those sluts are up to. What are those fake sluts up to? I can see that. That's how little MySpace activity I've been having. Can we stay on the topic of fake sluts? Because Jordan watched for the first time the television program The Hills. Have you seen this show before, Al Madrigal? I've never seen the actual show.

I know it exists. I know it's popular. It's MTV's number one show. I know the name Heidi Montag. And then we couldn't remember the other girls. This is what I know about it, is I watched an interview where David Letterman was interviewing one of the Olsen twins,

the one that was in the Wackness. The Wackness. Did you see the Wackness, by the way? No, I didn't, but I've heard from you that I should go see it. It's real good. The Olsen twin. That's all rap from 1994? Yeah, yeah.

Which is a good kind of rap. Sure. That's the best rap of the year. A lot of tribe called quest. Yeah, that's the top rap, I mean, at the end of the day. The Olsen twin thing is just stunt casting. She plays this kind of hippie, and she gets real drunk and then makes out with Bing Kingsley in a phone booth, and she's just horrendous and distracting and almost ruins a good movie.

Well, she was ruining David Letterman for about three or four minutes but it was one of those things i don't know if you you guys like the david letterman but sure when he's got someone terrible on he'll see a lot of times he'll just say things to confuse them yeah it's like a cat playing with a ball and it was it was like that. And then she mentioned in passing a guy from the hills called Spencer. Sure. Spencer from the hills. And she said she had like went to high school with him or something. And then Letterman just talked about how horrible this guy was for like five minutes straight.

He was on Letterman's show. It's pretty, it's pretty amazing to watch. It's a similar thing. I mean, he's obviously too dumb to realize what Letterman is talking about. Uh, and yeah,

and Letterman just has that combination of fascination. What the fuck am I doing? Is this really my job? And this is what Letterman is so good at. Letterman had actually watched the Hills where he's just referring to his experience with him. Maybe when he was on the, yeah, I mean, it was – I don't – but the thing is – How does a young gentleman get so oily?

Yeah. How does a young gentleman get so oily? That's great. I mean, really, how does a young gentleman get so oily? He just spent – he just dedicated his program to asking obliquely insulting questions, and in some cases directly insulting questions, about this guy that the Olsen twin just went to high school with. She doesn't really know him particularly well.

That's great, but the interview wasn't going anywhere. No, the interview wouldn't have... No, the joke was really just Letterman trying to press this Olsen twin into saying something horrible about this about this guy from the hills and god david letterman is such a genius he really is a beautiful genius anyway that's all i know about the hills jordan uh yeah i actually i had an audition uh today where i was uh a hollywood audition yeah for you know for for showbiz television movies commercials gotcha uh vaudeville vaudeville sure uh uh cruise cruise theater cruise entertainment commedia del arte all that

um and uh so i'm like well i should the audition was for a parody of the hills i think the idea is well i don't say that i'm not gonna be in trouble right you could probably get in a lot of The Hills. I think the idea is, well, I won't say that, I'm not going to get in trouble. Right. You could probably get in a lot of trouble. Yeah. Comedy Central decided they were going to spend $50,000 on a pilot.

Mm-hmm. And now I'm going to ruin it. Yeah, sure. Now Spike can just film it tomorrow. Yeah. Anyways,

and I'm like, I should watch The Hills so I can, you know, and I kind of thought. So you can develop a character. I kind of thought I knew what I was getting into. Like you guys, I kind of heard of what went on on this and kind of – and I've seen the stars of it being interviewed and around.

And I don't want to sound like one of those guys and I really don't want to come off like one of those like, I just watch documentaries and I don't watch TV guys that's like – but I watched it this one time. And I hate sounding like that, but I've never seen it, and I was so – I'm so fucking appalled by it. It is offensive how bad that show is. It is offensive. And it's not because it's doing anything immoral. It's offensive because of its lack of content. Like it's content-less. I felt that way.

I watched – I was at – we don't have the cable, but when I go to a place with the cable, I'll just watch it and watch it and watch it. Sure, I love it. Because you get so excited. You're like, look it, I can just switch and there's a new show every time I press the button. And I was watching the one that's a knockoff of the show with Flava Flav, but it has the metal guy on it. Yeah, yeah. Rock of Love. I could not, I'm like, I felt like I watched an entire show and no things happened.

Yeah, and they're all kind of building towards every episode of those shows, your Rock of Love, your Tila Tequilas has, seems like it has one moment that the show is about and it's... Right. It's like the making the choice. Yeah, or I was going to say, like, there's one outrageous thing. There's, let's say, let's call it Naked Pool D it naked pool dive or let's call it nipple lick or something. Yeah.

And then they – Al, do you have a preference between naked pool dive and nipple lick? See, I haven't watched MTV in so long. It's been so – and it's not like I've graduated to VH1. I've abandoned that section of channels. Can I tell you something? Teresa had a job this summer where her supervisor, who was a professional,

Teresa works in the field of law, her supervisor was about 40-ish, not especially old, didn't know how to send and receive emails, had to ask someone to come into her office and do it for her. And Teresa was outside the door when she called in a different person had to ask someone to come into her office and do it for her. And Teresa was outside the door when she called in a different person to help her with the emails.

They were talking about how she doesn't know the emails. And she says to this woman, I guess I just don't understand this VH1 generation. That's a great quote. I have abandoned all of that stuff altogether. I was barely watching Comedy Central until the show Reality Bites came on, which is fantastic. Yeah, it's got Chris Fairbanks. We actually, last week's guest, whom Jesse was absent for because of his honeymoon. Sadly, because he's a delightful young man.

Sure, just Chris Fairbanks. Okay, he did also an amazing artist. He did all of my album cover art. Yeah, a gifted artist. He has done quite a bit of art. I admired his logo for the Bridgetown Comedy Festival. He's done amazing work for me in the past. He's a very, very funny comic out of Boston, and so I was thrilled to see him on the show.

So that's a good show. But I just don't have as much TV time as I'd like. See, I'd love to watch it all. Yeah, yeah. Because you're busy making your own network television programs and also counting your money. I'd pass over. I'm counting money. You make the money and you count it.

And what time is there left? Yeah, because there's so many of the money. And then I don't have enough hills to go. Many money. Me say many, many, many. Mucho, mucho dollars. Yeah, plenty of Skrill. So what did you take away from this, Jordan?

Are you going to audition? Yeah, I did. The audition's done. How did that go? What did you do? What character did you do? Honestly, this did. The audition was done. How did that go? What did you do? What character did you do? Okay, this honestly happened. You played Lauren.

I walked in, and the casting lady, there's the casting lady, and she's kind of an older, kind of middle-aged woman. She's kind of flanked by her two... Well, that might have been better than what happened. She's kind of flanked by her two kind of younger cute assistants and she's blackberrying as I come in and I reach out my hand and say hi I'm Jordan nice to meet you

she's like I don't do touching and then looked down and kept texting I'm like oh is that a joke joke joke it's gotta be a joke gotta be a joke and I looked around and the assistants are giving me this kind of like panicked, just fucking stand on your mark look.

And I go and stand on my mark, and one of the assistants says, yeah, it's a cold season. There's a lot of germs going around. And I said, yeah, I guess I'm pretty germy. That's how it started. I mean, I don't imagine I'll be on this. But yeah, she honestly said that to me.

Find the woman's name at a break. Right. And try to's name at a break. Right. And try to look up information about it. I want to know who would say, I don't do touching. So you want to do what you're looking for as a character? You want to turn this show into a character assassination program? I want to find this woman. I want to make sure that I never go to her office.

She claims to be a Vanderbilt, but in fact, her grandmother was Jewish. She's evil. That is what's evil. You know, the worst people in this business are the commercial casting people and the low-level casting people. And when you say, just to interject, when you say this business,

you're referring to television, film, podcasting, other major entertainment industries. Correct. That is true. And a strange woman in her bathrobe has just walked out on the fire escape. This is it. Is she hanging her laundry on the fire escape? No. Because that's a common activity. Is she oiling up for something?

How does a woman that old get so oily? I can't really see al so um it's it's amazing to me how rude and horrible people are this is fantastic i mean you come over to the podcast you get offered indian food you get some indian dog for a little bit absolutely plenty of touching all the way around we were doing a lot of touching. Absolutely. Absolutely. In fact, we oiled each other up before the show. Whoops, slipped off the couch. Germ season. It's germ season. It is. Is it really?

You know, I always try and get my flu shots before the peak of flu season. Germ season in the summer. Mid-August. Yeah. Getting a lot of colds in August. Absolutely. A lot of icy. So what was it like?

That didn't go well. What did the other people look like in the waiting room? And did you see them recognized from the... Yeah, it was basically all guys that I knew from the kind of LA improv scene. It was a... Yeah, just like, and yeah, people, like guys from my manager. Yeah, so yeah, I knew. Dave, East Coast Dave Hill was there.

He's no West Coast Dave Hill. I'm sorry, West Coast Dave Hill was there. Wait, East Coast Dave Hill. West Coast Dave Hill, in my opinion, no East Coast Dave Hill. Well, he's a pretty good Dave Hill. He's a solid Dave Hill, but he's got tough competition, Jordan. Who's your manager? They're just sending out all the same guys.

He's handsomer. West Coast Dave Hill's the handsome Dave Hill. Yeah, good looking. Very handsome. West Coast Dave Hill. He's handsome. He's a comedy guy. What are you talking about?

West Coast Dave Hill or East Coast Dave Hill? Both guys. He's Dave Hill's. West Coast Dave Hill is a very handsome comedian. East Coast Dave Hill is a comedian slash rock and roll guy. There you go. Yeah, but he's basically all guys from my... It was all like the kind of the young stoner slacker improv guys.

Stoner slacker being the type, not how they actually are. They probably put out a call for young Apatow-esque stoner slackers and got all of us. That's primarily the net that's bringing you in at this point. Yeah. Seth Rogen lookalike. Sure, yeah. In fact, I saw a GQ magazine that I bought for an airplane ride recently, and Seth Rogen was on the front looking like Jordan.

I actually bought that gq at a train station i brought that at a train station in san diego and uh guys who sold it to me said did you on the magazine did you on the magazine yeah exactly did you meet the guy hey yeah was it you are you do you sell magazines can you improvise with that can you improvise keep it going keep it going what if that guy was an orderly in a hospital what would he say no al what would he say hey this you're in the hospital bed that's exactly that's why your network sitcom material right that's why you're friends with jeffrey tambor did you bring that to the audition i didn't i should have man if i

only had the way back machine if only mr peabody would stick me in the way back you're like you get to the audition you're like thank you so much for giving me these pages but something amazing happened to me as i got on the train. And it sounded a little something, and then I turned around. Like... You put on your rhino mask. Sure. Oh, and I... I hate... Gosh, I don't want to...

This is fucking lame, I realize. I'm like, I don't want to talk about something on the podcast that I've already twittered about so as to eat all of my internet content. But I was at Comic-Con recently. The comic book convention. And I was wearing a

jacket and tie as part of a thing I was doing there. And overheard one guy whisper to another guy, is that guy dressed up like Seth Rogen? That's great. That's about me. That guy's dressed up like Seth R rogan you were though to be fair yeah you were doing it you were doing a costume i was not doing a costume piece yeah you were

doing a costume piece where you were trying to look like seth rogan i wasn't and i only look like ugly celebrities people only tell me i look like the seth rogan's ugly right uh i get john he's not ugly he's dumpy john. John C. Reilly is nice. John C. Reilly is ugly. He got famous for being ugly. Yeah, I guess. The only celebrity anyone ever tells me I look like is boy George Jordan. Actually, you know what?

Someone called in this week to tell me that I look like Al Capone because they went to a wax museum. They saw it and they thought it looked like a me, so I typed Al Capone into Google because I don't know what Al Capone looks like. Very homely man. Extremely homely man. Oh, and there's a movie out

called The Rocker, or a movie coming out called The Rocker. And I guess there's a curly-haired high school kid. People say I look like that kid at all. People say I look like that guy. You look a lot like that guy. What does he look like, Kyle?

Fucking ugly. He's ugly. He's an ugly guy? He's a square faced ugly dude. He's just real ugly. Not Rainn Wilson. He was in The Rocker and he's also in the movie 21. Oh. About the card playing.

The Kevin Spacey poker movie. How do people want you to look like a certain guy? We're joking about you being on a sitcom, but you're taping a new sitcom right now. You were on a sitcom last year that I saw on an airplane. So you're working. And his big Zach Braff, that's what I get all the time. That's not bad.

That's a good look for Hollywood. I'll take Hispanic Zach Braff. But I'd like to see you have a Zach Braffian. I don't want you to be the friend, Al. I want you to be the guy. The main guy. The main guy. Why aren't you the main guy?

I've had opportunities to be the main guy. Are you any good at acting? I am decent enough that they keep putting me in these things. Right, yeah. That's what I thought. I'm not getting the Hills parody audition. No. But it's, you know.

But that's just because you didn't want to, you wanted to save that. You knew you were going on another audition later with the woman from, that didn't want to touch people and you wanted to save that impression that you had for you're looking like this guy isn't that what he said exactly that's what he said this you and the blimp this you and the blimp

so I want to find out the name of this casting director so you really got to pull up your email and we'll find out who this is, just for our own personal information. Because that way, just for our information. I can do it. Okay, you ready to do it,

Jordan? No, I don't want to broadcast it. Okay, so you're not going to broadcast it, but you can find out her name and then Google it, and then we can find a real fact about it and then embellish upon it. Sure. Make up some lies without saying her name. Yeah. and then we can find a real fact about it and then embellish upon it. Sure. Make up some lies without saying her name. Yeah.

Jordan Morris, boy detective. Smiling Al Madrigal.

That's nice. This is great. We got a genuine operation going. With Smiling Al Madrigal here. How are you guys? I'm good. How about you? Would you like to host the show from here on out, Al?

Yeah, I could. I could say, hey, you were in my audition. You had a podcast. You talked about the Giants. I listened to it a few times. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, it was fun. It was a good podcast. It was solid work.

You were doing good work. Thanks. Yeah. This is the early days of podcasting, Jordan. You wouldn't remember this. No. This was before your time. What were you doing?

Oh, yeah. Bringing stuff to Fran Drescher. Oh, yeah. That's what you were doing. Call me. Bringing Fran Drescher stuff at home. Al, I've had a long and humiliating career. Nanny AD?

PA for living with Fran. This was her comeback. Post colon cancer. Yeah, right. Yeah, her big comeback. Step back into the... I'm glad that you know exactly what cancer Fran Drescher had. The best kind.

The number one cancer of America. She preferred to call it cancer of the fanny. No, she didn't. Is that what she said? Man, you are the man of a thousand voices. You're killing it. Ladies and gentlemen,

I think we've finally found a replacement for Rich Little. It's this guy right here, Mr. Al Madrigal. Smiling. Smiling. Smiling. Smiling. Sorry.

You should have just done my voice saying, I'm sorry, Smiling Al Madrigal. I'm sorry. I'm an idiot. Smiling Al Madrigal. I'm an idiot. I don't think I was talking, but I heard myself talking. Say I like to eat garbage as Jesse. You should not say that.

Because Jordan hacked into my Twitter account and wrote, Hey, I'm Big Dumb Jesse. I like to eat garbage. Man, that was really funny. Wow. That was rough. I've never been more humiliated in my life how long did it stay up there this is crazy i can't believe you do that yet you won't out the uh you know here's the

here's the thing al casting director uh more oh more than a thousand people follow my twits on twitter and uh jordan's only got a few hundred so he was really trying to extend his reach out to a new fan base. He was trying to use the platform of a more popular entertainer on Twitter. To be clear, more popular entertainer on Twitter. I've never tweeted. Never tweeted? Well, now's the time to start, Al. All right, I won't.

I'm not going to out the casting director. No. For fear of Hollywood exile. But I will say this about the people of Toyota of Hollywood. The way where I took my Scion to have its break service. Okay, let's hear it.

Prompt. Very prompt, polite, and they gave me a follow-up call to make sure it was running okay. That's fantastic. Toyota of Hollywood. Excellent service for your Scion or other Toyota vehicle. So there you go. I hope you don't think I'm a pansy anymore, Al. No, I don't.

And would Scion. He's not afraid to step up when it works well. What Toyota dealership is it? That's the one on Sunset. It is, yeah. That's a nice one. That's a nice one. That's a really good Toyota dealership, right?

Mm-hmm. That's what I've heard. Yep. You are correct. Salespeople aren't very great. I've walked onto that floor. I was going to look at the Toyota Tacoma. I was thinking about getting a pickup truck.

I was at one point. Because you work in the trades. That's right. Oh, no, you read the trades. Excuse me. The sitcom work is low. I like to pick up craigslist service jobs right exactly do some light hauling yeah hauling away from work sites for example sure uh al i wanted

to ask you are you okay so you're working on a on a sitcom right now it could be called you could call it a you could be called a multi-cam what's the name of the show so that people can look out for it in the fall? Gary Unmarried. Gary Unmarried. It's got Jay Moore. Paula Marshall. Jamie King. Ed Begley Jr.

Ed Begley Jr.? Wow, really? Yes. What's Jamie King from? I feel like I recognize her name. Jamie King is a very, very attractive supermodel actress, and she was in Sin City. Oh, gotcha.

She is in the New Spirit movie coming out. Do you get uncomfortable around her? No, she's married. So are you. Exactly. Nothing's going to happen. No, you guys could have a treatise. She is one of the coolest. What's a treatise?

A treatise would be like an agreement between two parties. You could have one of those. A treatise is like an entreaty. Sure. It's something you write. It's like a thing that you wrote. What's fucking? Is that treatise?

Coitus? Coitus. That's what we're talking about. Her husband is this guy, Kyle, who wrote and directed the movie Fanboys. It's coming out. It's kind of had a famously problematic editing process, right? Correct, yes.

I think it's Darth Weinstein. They were calling Harvey Weinstein Darth Weinstein. He got off the plane in China, and somehow these guys who were trying to save the original cut of Fanboy sent out a Save Our Movie, Darth Weinstein t-shirt to this entertainment ambassador in China and told him and said, you know, hey, welcome to China, Harvey Weinstein, or something like that. And he wore it. And immediately when he's getting off the plane, this ambassador of entertainment in China is wearing this Stop Darth Weinstein T-shirt and let them have their cut back. And now they're still fighting with it, but I think they've got a release date at the point.

But yeah, so Jamie King, very hot chick and really cool. Talked to my son about Lego Star Wars. Kids love Lego Star Wars. Kids love Lego Star Wars. I love Lego Star Wars. I played it today on the Wii. It was wonderful. That's smiling Al for you.

Are you excited about Lego Batman, Al? I can't wait. What is that, September? Very soon. Do they just get to make a Lego version of every blockbuster film now? Lego Star Wars was huge. Unexpectedly huge. One of the biggest games

the year it was released. There's Lego Indiana Jones, right? I'm playing that quite a bit. How's that go? That's great. Is there real whipping action? Yes. I auditioned for

the new Lego action adventure movie that's coming out. Is it animated? Well, you know, the animations in the Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones. It's real Legos. It's like the YouTube Legos. Oh, yeah, gotcha.

It's going to take 80 years to make. No, it's animated. The in-betweens that they do on Lego Star Wars are so funny and great, and sort of with Lego Indiana Jones. They have Ind indie pull out c3po's head at one point to switch on trying to switch it yeah i forget the guy's name uh but uh it's so it's very funny and i just they're gonna do that and so i can't get enough of lego stuff

and jamie king was talking to my son about that and talking to my son about batman and just knows everything so she's the coolest chick of all time. So you're friends with a hot chick is what you're trying to say. Friends with a very hot chick. And she's married to a guy who wrote a Star Wars-based buddy movie. That seems unusual. You'd think she would be married to Mark Spitz or something. No, no, I wouldn't.

I would think, who's Mark Spitz again? Most women in Hollywood are married to Mark Spitz, right? The man won seven gold medals in one Olympics. That's true. What Olympics was that?

Was it 1982? I'd say 1978. I don't know. making the point that you don't think you don't think like sci-fi comedy screenwriter and uh sex pot yeah you want it's more like a mustache swimmer a swimmer with a really handsome mustache mustache swimmer but she's uh really cool in this guy can i ask you real quick do you do a mark spitz at all hey i'm just one of the gold medals huh oh it's like being there yeah wow

wow michael phelps you have just ignited my olympic. A new. Michael Phelps, he beat him on record. Yes. Yes, indeed. Indeed. I was thinking of Michael Phelps when I said Mark Spitz. I think you were. Maybe you were thinking of that. Maybe you were thinking of former Mariner slugger Ken Phelps.

Oh. Another possibility. Could be. Could be. It's possible. It's possible. Anyway. So, yeah, they normally date these Brad Pitt or Brad Kitt. Possibility. Could be. Could be. It's possible. It's possible. Anyway.

So, yeah, they normally date these Brad Pitt or Brad Kitt guys. You know Brad Kitt, right? It's Brad Pitt's kitten. He calls it Brad Kitt. The twins have a good laugh. That would be the best. If Brad Pitt had a kitten named Brad Kitt, that would be the best thing since I found out that George Clooney slept with a pig

in his bed. Not intercourse with a pig. I don't want you to think that George Clooney is that. Before we started talking about Brad Pitt's cat, so you've had this job. It's called Brad Kitt's.

This is a traditional live in front of a studio audience type show. So you've had other television jobs that aren't this. You've had some non-multicam sitcoms. I've had just recently the single camera show, and now it's a lot more work. A lot more waiting. With some Hollywood stars like Raquel Welch and Jeffrey Tambor. Sure.

That show was doomed, unfortunately, because we had no writers, and it came out during the writer's strike. Yeah, I can't imagine. You just shot that. You just had to shoot the script you had. Exactly. Nobody around to say, oh, that didn't turn out to be funny. We just decided and went on.

Did you and Jeffrey Tambor talk about being from San Francisco? We did. Because you're television's top two San Franciscans in my book. I had no idea and then I got on there

and started talking about Westlake Joe's. Yeah. And he grew up out near San Francisco State. You graduated San Francisco State University. Correct.

Yeah, so we talked a lot about that. That's great. It's a little Easter egg for the San Franciscans listening to this podcast, Jordan. A lot of people didn't know. A lot of people didn't know that about Tambor.

For the San Francisco region-only DVD. Mm-hmm. You can play it up to past the Monterey Bay. Are you guys going to have an entire impression series that hopefully I can probably make it on, too? Yeah, on the DVD? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, let's do it on, too. Yeah, on the DVD? Yeah, absolutely.

Okay, let's do it. Willie Brown. Hey, people. Okay, that's good. What about this one? A little bit. What about this one? The guy who wears the cape and plays the banjo at 49ers and A's games.

Oh, that guy. The crazy banjo guy. Yeah. And you know why we don't like that guy? We boot him out of our section every single time he came to us. Because he went to the A's games. Oh. And he also went to the Giants game. And so anybody who's a true San Francisco sports fan,

you root against the A's and you root against the Raiders. And if you don't, and so that guy would come into our section, and we'd sit in section 62 above the Jumbotron there, and probably going to go to the opening game of the San Francisco 49ers season. We'd boo, and we'd throw stuff at him. Throw shit at him. This is a guy, Jordan, just so you know, this is a man who wears a, he's a heavy set middle-aged man.

He wears a tie-dyed shirt, a cape, a hat with a propeller on it. All of these in the team colors, I want to be clear. And then he walks around. Whichever team he happens to be. Exactly. So he has multiple hats and capes. What he is, ultimately, is a fair weather banjoist. Yes, he is.

He could be accused of being a TV whore, banjo whore that just goes out. He's a banjo whore. You're right. That's the worst kind. Now, the best guy that used to go around all these sports games was a guy named Redman. Redman. Yes, and we wanted to get my little brother Dante and dress him up as Golden Boy. Oh, is that a possible sidekick for Redman? Yes, exactly. There was a man when I was growing up in the San Francisco's Handsome and Historic Mission District

who would walk around wearing red stage makeup. Pissing. What's that? Pissing. Pissing? Is that his name? No, no, he would just be pissing. I know that guy. He's got bright, serious red stage makeup. He carried a cane, like the kind with the gold knob at the top.

And he had like Groucho Marx eyebrows, like black grease paint eyebrows. And he just walked around like that all the time with no explanation. He kind of was skinny, looked like maybe he was a 55-year-old but had once been a dancer but also a drunk now. And that terrified me as a child. Fascinated and terrified. There's also a great homeless guy out in Union Street that would walk up and down with running shoes, just walk Union Street with streamers in his hair. And the story growing up was his father, he comes from a very wealthy family, and they own Union Street, all of the business, commercial businesses.

And I'm not sure how we got sidetracked. Absolutely. Well, I want to talk for a second about Thoth, as long as we're on this. Are you familiar with Thoth now? Thoth, as long as we're on this. Are you familiar with Thoth now? Thoth is a guy who used to play, he plays the violin wearing a loincloth, a short loincloth, no upper body.

He's a light-skinned black guy, a really muscly short, and kind of handsome in a weird way, but not that handsome, just a little handsome and ripped, just ripped. Handsome for a guy that's doing what he's doing. Yeah, exactly. He sort of looked like a slightly shorter, shirtless, loincloth-wearing, violin-playing, super-ripped Barack Obama in the sense that he's handsome for you know what yeah yeah exactly and uh he would play the violin and sing these weird kind of chinese opera sounding songs he had those nuts and those nut ankle bracelets you know like a uh like an aztec

dancer would wear sure you know what i'm talking about? I've been to a few Aztec dances. You know what's going on. So he's wearing those. He's doing this dance. Like the dogs are wearing in the Beverly Hills Chihuahua commercial. Are they wearing those? Apocalypto? Against people of color and other savages. Is that what Apocalypto was?

And I did not know this man's name with was or to play these weird songs until when i was like um i want to say 19 18 19 started dating my mother starts well not dating just fucking him in front of jesse exclusively just right in front of me have you been fucking him for a long no this is the first time in In the front, in the back, the whole nine yards. It was horrifying. Clackety-clack-clack. Yeah. That haunts my dreams even today. Somebody made a documentary about Thoth, won an Oscar for this documentary about Thoth. And now Will Smith.

I'm watching the Oscars, and Thoth comes on to the Oscars up on the stage. I'm like, holy shit, there's that nightmare man that haunted me at the 16th and Mission BART station as a child. For some reason, they've allowed him onto the stage. He's still shirtless. He's still got the nut anklets. Terrifying. Yeah, apparently he sings in a made-up language or something. I don't know what's going on with Thoth, but I'm glad that you brought him up, Al.

Jesse, you're thinking of Sigur Rós. Oh, shit! You're right. That whole time I was thinking of Sigur Rós. We were talking... You were trying to get to a question for Al about his sitcom. I was just going to ask him about the

lifestyle shooting the multi-cam sitcom v. other show business projects is the fifth banana on a multicam or sitcom is probably the best job in the entire world it's incredible it's a dream it really is uh and uh we have are you the fifth banana really are you just being modest no i'm seriously fifth on the call sheet you're like you're like that's where you are on the call you have a similar role to the role that uh that uh i was going to say plummeted what's the opposite of plummeted that skyrocketed skyrocketed patten oswalt's very similar minor celebrity in his long-running sitcom role on uh the king of queens well it's just a wealth and security to go out and

really comfortably spend some time writing stand-up. And stand-up at this point right now, I'm just forced to go out and headline as much as possible. The money's not great. But now if I'm able to do this show for an extended period of time, I'm able to write and stay in my dressing room and actually be productive create new material go out and do it locally here and hopefully get on that patent sort of run but i feel like king of queens helped

patent afforded patent yeah it gave him it gave him the opportunity to really explore patent oswalting he was on the show he was great before then yeah of course of course. But on the show, he's able to stay in town, hone his craft. And plus he goes from playing a small room to playing a big room, and he gets to both develop this fan base of diehard Patton Oswalt fans and learn how to make laugh these people who came because they're like the king of queens or whatever. It's a really great double job that you get to have. That's wonderful. And there was his other friend.

Kevin James had two friends on the show. He's a tall guy that worked with him on the UPS. It's amazing because you get to just walk in. You say your couple lines. You're hanging out. You're sitting on the couch. And then you walk away. There's food waiting for you all the time.

You have the dressing room. Yeah, I've worked on a few of those multi-cam sitcoms, not as a performer, but as a – yes, the food is like fired at you basically. The food may as well be thrown at you. And I've really got to watch it because I'm trying to keep my weight down. I don't want to get the fat face. You don't want to get a fat face. You don't want to get a fat face. Me and Jordan have the fat face.

I got the Seth Rogen face. I've got the late period Boy George face. Is that guy trying to dress up like Seth Rogen? Comic-Con guy! Comic-Con guy! I knew it! Was that the guy at Comic-Con?

I fucking knew it. That's great. Oh shit. You know what? Let's end this segment now because that was too good. Close on that. 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. Smiling Al Madrigal. Al Madrigal,

you've been married a long time now. Seven years. Seven solid years. You have two beautiful children. I presume they're beautiful. I don't know if they're beautiful or not. Gorgeous. If you're any indication. Al Madrigal is no longer sitting on the orange couch.

Yeah. Oh, it's called the gay couch. Did you know that? Did you know that it's called the gay couch? Oh, Al has a picture of his kids on the phone. Al's showing a picture of his kids. Can you show that to the microphone for us jordan confirmation beautiful children wow some nice looking kids they look happy too there are they that's a they're lying in a hammock in our backyard that's man that's the life jordan did uh i got married this week oh yeah that go i remember that a week ago did you have a good time is that where you were there right yeah that's. I remember that. A week ago. Did you have a good time? You were there, right? Yeah. Oh, that's that day I got drunk. Yeah.

Where did you do that? Where did I get married? Yeah. In San Francisco. We had the ceremony at St. John's Episcopal Church, which is right near where I grew up, right near 16th and Mission. Played basketball against those guys all the time. Wow.

There you go. And we had the reception at Fort Mason. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, nice view of the bridge in there and had a taco truck. We had El Tonayense there. Made some tacos. Those were delicious, by the way. Those are good tacos, right? Very good. Very good. Oh, man. And I'm trying to figure out how to eat a taco in Los Angeles. I haven't figured it out.

Have you ever successfully seen something you know about? Yeah, yeah. Because sometimes I go and I feel like I just get like a pile of lettuce or something. I don't know what's going on. Have you been to Tacos Mexico 2? No. We should go to Tacos Mexico 2 sometime. Okay. I'm on board.

It's filthy inside. No. I've got it down. Okay. Have you got a system? Yeah. No. You've got to go to yucca

hillhurst is the place to go and then see i've been there but i haven't eaten tacos there it's really the only place i found and you're right that nothing does compare to a san francisco burrito or taco yeah we should not talk about that because it'll only upset Jordan. Well, I'm just saying, my point is this, is that it seems that people who grow up in a heavy, a Latino-heavy neighborhood have their own idea of what their thing is.

And then there's often fights where no one convinces anyone of anything. Sure, but it's true that Mexican food in L.A. is shit. Yeah. You know, Al's half Mexican. He can say that. Sure, sure it's true that Mexican food in L.A. is shit. Yeah. You know, Al's half Mexican. He can say that. Sure, sure.

Well, I'm from, I got Mexican food in San Juan Capistrano in Orange County. So that's, you know. Well, fair enough. That's fair enough. Right. Anyway, so. Okay. Talk about your wedding. I got.

No, I got. Yeah, because it was only tacos. I got married at Fort Mason. We had a great time at the bachelor party, by the way, Jordan. Where'd you guys go? For that, sir, I thank you. We went to Vegas, Tijuana, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Center of hell.

Yeah, then we went to the center of hell. We skipped the outer rings because we hear they can be kind of a drag. Plus, they're expensive for what you get. And it was a week. It's a weeknight, too. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We had a great time. There's no need to get into it, but it's... Sure, no need to get into the details.

But speaking of a bachelor party in hell, what would it be like? Tell me about it. Comedian Al Madrigal, folks. Let's hear what the devil might say. At a strip club. What might he say, Al? In hell. Okay, here he is.

Give it up for Bambi. Thank you very much. That's another... Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. After hearing that Frank Caliendo makes $500,000 a weekend, I should. You should do some direct TV commercials. Yeah, that's where the money's at. But Jordan, just to summarize the bachelor party experience.

No need to get into the interesting, funny details. No need to get into the things you want to hear about. Sure. But I want to make it clear that I did a really I'll do that on this other podcast that I do. I did a really solid job of being debaucherous. Right? I did throw, right?

I made it a priority. Your belly was on the bar, my friend, and for that, I applaud you. I just, you know, at the end of the day, Al, it's your bachelor party. It's your only one. And I'm not a debaucherous guy. And not only did we play softball, but speaking of the interesting things that happened, Mr.

Jesse Thorne hit for the cycle. Wow. Single, double, triple, home run. You got this raspberry. It's probably not sweet. Nice raspberry. So it was bachelor party softball? There was bachelor party softball, and then later there was bachelor party debauchery.

We also ate ourselves sick at dinner. We did. Absolutely sick. But the marriage, did you, I saw you talking to the woman from El Tiempo de Nuevo, York. Sure. Did you, what did you tell her about us? Something nice, I hope. I forget.

Okay. Because she also talked to the Casper Hauser guys. I'm really concerned about the picture that you and the Casper Hauser guys are going to paint to the gray lady, the New York Times. The newspaper of record. The newspaper of record about my relationship with Teresa because the reporter from the New York Times keeps calling our parents and trying to find stories about how outrageous I am and how it's upset everyone else.

That's the story that she's looking for. Oh, I said you were gay and Teresa smelled. Right, but I'm talking about outrageous stuff like lies or falsehoods. Yeah, that's basically all I said you were gay and Teresa smelled. Right, but I'm talking about outrageous stuff like lies or falsehoods. Yeah, that's basically all I said. Okay, good. You probably really do not have to worry about the Casper Hauser guys. Then the rest of the time I just tried to grab my jugs.

Yeah, I know, the Casper Hauser guys are the problem. Jordan seems polite and contained. John Richmuth from Casper Hauser, that guy's always up to something. Got those shifty eyes. Got those shifty eyes. So married life so far how many days in are you i'm in what uh uh about nine days in and how many times have you said fuck this i can't take it anymore i thought you were gonna ask me how many times we've

intercoursed oh the answer is many how many times have you said, I'm fucking? Yeah. Look at me. No, I'm, well, you know, my life hasn't changed that much, except that I got an email today from Teresa Thorne, and that threw me for a loop. I thought, who is this person? Yeah. I really thought that. I'm like, is this a cousin? Yeah. And, because my cousin is kristin thorn i thought

is kristin thorn no and then i go oh shit that's my wife oh fuck i'm married better get pick up some milk yeah exactly better take out that garbage who boy who boy how's that has she changed has she gotten uh see you're still in this great honeymoon face. Yeah. Is this all going to go downhill from here? Is that what you're saying, Al? I'm saying just a... Should I try and milk it? A third shittier.

One third shittier. One third shittier than she is now. She's going to be fine. You love her. Can't get enough of her. You married her. Is this a change? How long were you with her?

Before you married your wife, how long were you with your wife? Two years. Two years. See, now, I've been with Teresa just about ten years. That's a real problem. Is it? That's a situation. That's going to be an issue. Do you have any idea who I should call, what I should do, actions I should take?

I wonder what Batman would say about that relationship. I don't know what that meant. I was prompting Al for another question. I actually auditioned for Batman and I did audition. They had me do... When you say you auditioned for Batman, you auditioned

for the one that eventually went to Christian Bale. No, I auditioned for the video that eventually went to Christian Bale for the movie American Psycho. No, I auditioned for the video game and sound-alikes for Batman coming out, and I did, and I will not do, because I had to really work up to it. You were supposed to sound like Morgan Freeman. No, I did the Joker. Okay.

Did you have to be the Heath Ledger Joker? I think I got pretty close, and it was very good. I had just seen the movie, and then I also did a couple of characters that I made up that were guards at the asylum. That could have just been. What is it? Arkham Asylum. Arkham Asylum, yeah. So you said, thanks for these pages.

I appreciate it. But something amazing happened to me on the way to this office park hey you're looking like you undercover you was batman he was about the man yes yes that's the guards that's what the guards at arkham that's exactly what they would sound like if they sounded like something if they were uh if you you know it was amazing just to to summarize, amazing. What do I have to be worried about, Al? Let's talk about weddings for a second. We're not talking about you watching Batman on the Cartoon Network or what have you.

We're talking about marriage, weddings. You're a married man. I'm a married man. We're on the same wavelength marriage-wise. I would just enjoy my advice to a young married couple the thorns is to stay married for a while and save up a lot of money save as much money as you possibly can

and just enjoy being married and travel and just split it and get the fuck out of here look at this absolutely where are you headed Jordan I'm headed to Taos, New Mexico. Taos, I heard it's fantastic.

It's beautiful. It's beautiful there. That's right. Everything is made of turquoise. Turquoise and adobe, which is a kind of brick. I'm headed to... Copenhagen? San Diego.

Can I suggest Copenhagen? San Diego. Oh, they have an excellent wild animal park. I think I'm going to go to Carmel. Carmel? And just chill out. How about this? Open up an antique store.

Maybe you should play a few rounds of golf. The old put it in the hole. Maybe you can send me some turquoise, and I'll sell it, and I'll mark that shit up you'll mark it up rich and you send me a golf a coastal golf course that's right and i'll mark it up we'll both get rich while jordan is talking to some fucking panda bear at the wild animal park that faggot i'm also drinking out of a cup that's shaped like the panda yeah so that's something okay point taken so we'll all be pretty happy lemon that's the moral of the story we'll all be pretty happy no i think you're gonna just enjoy aid we made the mistake of having with uh the kids right away right away you should wait a little bit

wait a little bit okay what what was what was the mistake in having the kids right away. Right away? Yeah. You should wait a little bit? Wait a little bit. Okay. What was the mistake in having the kids right away? Well, it's just immediately, you know, and Paul Hopkins just jokes about this, how it changes everything,

but I mean, just, it's not, it's like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. My entire life is, I clean,

we cook, and we clean, and we cook, and they sleep, and it's just nonstop. Just this flow of work that completely changes everything. It's fucking horrible. Yeah. But they're fantastic. But you can live in this neighborhood.

You don't want to be like one of these horrible Mexican families. No, I don't. They're short and fat. Yes. Short and fat. A little graffiti baby. The world's most dangerous gang, MS-13. Yes. Is that the world's most dangerous gang? According to

a television documentary, yes. The world's most dangerous gang. Not a Mexican gang, though. A Central American gang with outposts in Mexico, the United States, and across the world, thus making it the world's most dangerous gang. They control all the prisons. Yeah, exactly. And the drugs traveling between Central America and the United States. I'm worried about wearing my blue hat as I walk down the block. You'll probably be murdered.

I'm wearing my blue hat as I walk down the block. You'll probably be murdered. I can't promise you that, Al, if that's what you were hoping for, but you'll probably be murdered. I thought you were on a... I see it's blue and I see yellow. You're wearing it backwards, so all I can see is the MLB logo. Guessing by the fact that the hat is blue and there's a bit of yellow, you're probably wearing a Milwaukee Brewers hat. Hey, you like the Brewers, bro? You're going to die.

There you go. That's a really angry Cholo outside my house about to shoot Al Mandrigal. We're the MS-13s, bro. You ever heard of us from Milwaukee? Yeah. You're going to die. That's actually not that bad. You know what?

That's the impression that... That was a pretty good impression. That was a really good impression, Al, of like a Cholo in a movie in 1985. Yeah, and... He's got pressed khakis, a hairnet, and a Pendleton shirt with only the top button buttoned. You're just a substitute principal. I'm going to listen to you, bro. Oh, that's my favorite movie ever about taking the math AP test.

Is that Stand and Deliver? Is that something from Stand and Deliver? I don't know. I thought it was from The Substitute. Or The Substitute 2. Hollywood hung on to those 1985 Cholos for a long time. They really had a good hold on that. I can't wait to see me some Hamitute 2. Hollywood hung on to those 1985 Cholos for a long time. They really had a good hold on that.

I can't wait to see me some Hamlet 2. No. I'm a huge Steve Coogan fan. I think he's the bee's knees. Absolutely wonderful. Was very excited he was starring in a film. My favorite Coke Cup actor of all time.

Undoubtedly. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant guy. The movie is almost unwatchably boring and shitty. It is like the least funny version of Waiting for Guffman. It's like Waiting for Guffman if nothing funny happened in Waiting for Guffman. How did you get an opportunity to see this movie? I saw it as press screening a couple months ago. It was a while ago that I saw it. You know what I saw press screening of that was great?

What's that? Death Race. Oh, good. Oh, man, Death Race was so good. I'm surprised that you of all people would like Death Race, Jordan. Great performance from Miss Joan Allen. Oh, good. A classy lady in a not-so-classy movie. Gotcha. And Statham, as always,

delivers. You know, that guy, people love those movies, the Statham movies. When you say people, you're talking about Jordan. Well, you see yourself some Transporter 2? No, you know, actually, I've not seen either of the Transporter movies. Transporter 2 maybe has the hokiest scene or special effect of all time where he's fighting a guy in an airplane as it crashes into the ocean. And you actually get to see the model plane, and it looks exactly like a model. It's worth watching Transporter 2, and it's really a glorified Audi A8 commercial.

But I saw the Transporter 2 in the theater in South Lake Tahoe working at the improv. You can always rely on a touring stand-up comedian to have seen every horrible movie because they were bored during the day. Guys in wolf t-shirts next to me. You could have just rented a Sea-Doo. Sure. You could have just taken a Sea-Doo out on the lake.

It costs the same. Yeah, it costs about the same get yourself a cd cd and a thirsty two ouncer yeah going out there in a wolf sweatshirt mystical wolf yeah maybe some uh barbecue sunflower seeds yeah you got it you got it okay well we'll be back in just a second. Is that okay, Jordan? Bank Job. Bank Job's a good Statham movie. Okay, Bank Job. I've got to watch Bank Job.

I'm totally going to watch Bank Job. This is a much better segment. Oh, can I just talk about most ridiculous cholo stereotype? Yes, absolutely. This is the movie SWAT. I saw SWAT. SWAT has the guy from Sports Night in it, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, it has.

Josh from Sports Night. Sure, Josh. And you give has the guy from Sports Night in it, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, it has. Josh from Sports Night. Sure, Josh. And you give Dan. Dan from Sports Night. Is Dan? No, not Dan's not in it. I thought Josh was in it. Dan or Casey.

Jimmy Foxx. Dan, yeah, Dan. No, he's the, gosh, he's the non- Black guy is LL Cool J. Oh, yeah, that's what I was thinking of. I'm thinking of Michelle Rodriguez. It's Dan from Sportsman. The third act of the movie SWAT is this rich drug lord gets captured,

and as they're taking him away, he yells to all the TV cameras, you know, $100 million to anybody who busts me out of jail. And then the thing is that it goes around to all the gangs in the city, and it shows them all jumping into action to get this guy out of – Yes, sure. It shows them all loading up to get this guy out of jail. And it goes to the Cholo gang, and of course everybody is in kind of ankle-length khaki shorts and hairnets. Butterfly knives.

And first of all, they're all sitting around watching the local news. They're all in their flop house sitting around watching the news at 4, where this is all going on. That weather girl is going to come on that I like, bro. Hey, the weather girl. Yeah, exactly. I hear a local cat got loose in the craft fair and then uh and then when uh when the 40 and then when the guys uh and then when the guy's motorcade comes along uh the cholo

just grabs a rocket launcher from behind the couch goes to his window and shoots at the thing like he just had a rocket launcher they're watching the local news and they have a rocket launcher hey the weather girl is gonna be on but first pass me the rocket launcher that's pretty good uh okay good good good why don't we list the guys from the neighborhood right and make our own Cholo action movie? That's a really good idea. That's a really good idea. When you say the guys from the neighborhood, you're talking about the little chubby five-year-olds, right?

I'm talking about... You're talking about the little kid who, directly across from here, consistently comes up to the window, which has a bed against it, is completely nude, and just jumps up and down on the bed and waves his arm. Look at my wiener. Look at my wiener. You know what they have a lot of in Silver Lake? What's that? Shirtless Vato eating gelato. Let's write the song.

Oh, man. I'm going to call Weird Al. Hold on. Jordan, while you do that, we're going to take a quick break right here on Jordan, Jesse, go. It's Jordan, Jesse, go. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective. Smiling all magical.

Nice. Is that our new thing? Yeah. Sucking in. Yeah. Smiling El Madrigal. Nice. Is that our new thing? Yeah, sucking in. Can I ask you guys a question? I once read in Ann Landers, I was hanging out reading Ann Landers. Al is trying to pick up on the lady who's hanging her laundry on the fire escape outside the window. Hey, we're doing a podcast in here.

Just so people know. I, we're doing a podcast in here. Just so people know. I'm going to be on a podcast. We sort of record this show in a rooftop scene in West Side Story. That's true. I was reading Ann Landers, and there was a letter to Ann Landers that was really upset about, I don't know if you remember, I think it was Converse came out with a helium

filled basketball shoe. It was like a Nike Air, but it had helium instead of whatever they have in Nike Air, Air I guess. And the commercial for it was a famous basketball player, I don't remember who, you know, Dikembe Matambo.

Spud Webb. Spud Webb. And he sucks a little helium out and then says something about the shoe or something like that. The woman in Ann Landers was incensed. It turns out helium is a gateway huff. Really? Do you think that we're encouraging young people to huff with our new thing is the question that just as Dikembe Matambo just once encouraged, and Spud Webb,

the great Spud Webb, once encouraged people to huff through the use of the gateway huff of helium. Oh, huffing's been part of my platform since day one. You're pro-huff? Yeah. Airplane glue or? Whatever's in the tool shed.

Gotcha. I mean, huffers can't be choosers. That was one of my first first and favorite cops episodes that I ever saw I was a guy locked in the shed

huffing paint and I just recently worked at a comedy club where the sound guy was a paint huffer and it was fantastic and you could tell he was just a mess

he's a sound guy at a comedy club he's gotta be kind of on top of his shit. That's a great job. I know. How do you get that gig? The sound guy at the comedy club, he just turns the microphone on. Yeah, is he trying to ruin everything?

No, he had a very serious, very complicated announcement. Oh, good. Yeah. Okay. So, here we are. Here on Jordan Jesse Go, from time to time, we like to encourage our listeners, this is for your benefit, Alan, for any new listeners out there, to call in when something momentous happens in their lives. The birth of a child, although we've already done birth of a child, don't call in if it's the birth of a child. Don't care.

Unless it has two heads or something. Call if your kid's a freak. The classic one is a young woman who called us from the porch that she'd been locked on by the children. The roof she'd been locked on by the children she was babysitting. That's a perfect momentous occasion. When do you want to call? We've got some good momentous occasions this week. Jordan, you might remember last time we were both together on the show, we had a fair discussion of a little band called Earth, Wind & Fire. Maybe you've

heard of them, Al. Yeah. Hey, Flamiel. Hey, Flamazel. This is Christian from Chicago. Jeff, if you think Earth, Wind & Fire at a state fair is impressive, I'll do you one better. I just graduated this May from Columbia College in Chicago, and Earth, Wind & Fire not only gave the commencement speech, which was great, but brought the house down in a stirring rendition, wearing casting gowns of Shining Star, and it was pretty fucking great. But love the show, guys. Keep it up. Bye.

Do you think they gave the commencement speech in Greek chorus chorus style where they all were miked and spoke at the same time do you think they let front man Maurice White take the reins while they filled in in the background or do you think they took turns being a very democratic and pro-people band Jordan Gordon. Graduation. Al. Graduation? Yeah, I just said something from the story. You just said a word from the story. I really wasn't sure what Jesse was talking about. No, I think Maurice handled everything. You think Maurice did the whole thing?

Including playing the horns? Is that what you're suggesting? He played Shining Star by himself like Dick Van Dyke and Mary Poppins? Of course not. That was the opportunity for the band to chime in at that point. But I don't think half of those guys can speak well enough to just jump in on a commencement address. Based on what? Oh, the fact that the drugs that Earth, Wind, and Fire...

You think Maurice didn't do those drugs? Is that what you're saying? You think Maurice was pulling the strings of Earth, Wind, and Fire by distributing the drugs while himself always remembering never to get high on his own supply. I'm just saying I think that he must have – he's the most competent member of Earth, Wind, and Fire. You know what drug he might want to investigate is Rogaine with Minoxidil because he's a bald man. He's balding. He's got a big – he's got an afro, but he's bald. Married life has made you bitter.

You're not pulling any punches today. Well, let's go to the tape and find out. Okay. Here's the tape. Hi, Jordan, Jesse Go. This is Nate in Tucson, and I have a very arbitrary momentous occasion. I am 10,000 days old today.

Shut up, Nate. Oh, sorry. I guess we disagree on this one. I thought it was nice you told him to shut up. And it doesn't seem like it would encourage people to call him to the show. Hell, you're the tiebreaker. Is Nate a jerk or is Jesse lame? No, Nate's just a poor little guy.

He's a poor little guy. Counting the days. Counting the days. Do you think Nate is sort of like... He's a half-Korean kid or something. We just... Are you suggesting that half-Korean kids count everything?

Is that what you're saying? Well, I know that we do the 100-day. You grew up in, what, the sunset? I grew up in the inner sunset of San Francisco. You grew up in the inner sunset of San Francisco, so you probably knew a few half-Korean kids. I know. Well, my wife is half-Korean.

Your wife's half-Korean. Gotcha. So we do celebrate this. Every Korean child has a 100-day event. Right. And so I just assumed that he kept track from there. Gotcha. By powers of 10?

Sure. Yeah. As we know, Koreans are huge on exponents. Correct. Yeah, absolutely. Not so know, Koreans are huge on exponents. Correct. Yeah, absolutely. Not so big on integers. No. They don't care for them.

I think my house was just struck by lightning. Dead. Fire. Bye. Dead. He's dead. Yeah. He was dead until we heard him say the fire thing. You think he's dead now?

Those were called death throes now. Really. Yeah. He was dead until we heard him say the final thing. You think he's dead now? Those are called death throes now. Really? Yeah. Do you, how do we, are we behind someone if someone calls in with a call that's probably made up, but it's entertaining, it's believable? I don't understand why that was so quick. Why couldn't he have done something more elaborate? That's what makes it so convincing.

Also, he kept it pithy, which is the watchword of calling in to Jordan Jesse. Go, keep it pithy. What do you think, Jordan? Are you behind this or against? Are you for it or against it? Graduation. Gotcha. Al? Maurice.

Hi, Joe and Jesse. I have a momentous occasion, I think. Last night, I woke up, as did my boyfriend, and I realized that I started giving him a handjob in his sleep. So then I finished it. Okay, all right, bye. That sounds momentous to me. Yeah.

When's the last time you gave somebody a handjob in their sleep, Jordan? Human, right? Yeah. Yesterday. And let's be clear, Al's been awake this whole time. Yeah. Oh, okay. This sleepy handjob.

Um, so she was sleeping as well. This is a sleepwalking, sleeping hand job. That's what it sounded like. Although it was difficult to tell whether she had of her own volition made the choice to hand job. To grasp the... Can we replay that track? Okay, well let's go back and just Al's requesting a replay since this is... Yeah, let's... Yeah and just Al's requesting a replay since this is... Yeah, let's...

Yeah. Hi, Drew and Jesse. I have a momentous occasion, I think. Last night, I woke up, as did my boyfriend, and I realized that I started giving him a hand job in his sleep. So then I finished it. Okay, all right, bye. In his sleep. No, she woke up. No, all right, bye. In his sleep.

No, she woke up. No, she woke up. They were both asleep. I woke up, as did my boyfriend, and I realized. So this was a sleep handjob. This was like a sleepwalking handjob. Is this... Dream or nightmare.

Depending on how she looks. Yeah, if she's homely, you don't want to hit a job from her. No, that's probably the sound you would make. Smooth her hand skin is. Man of 80 voices. Yeah. Back into the reaction. Ladies and gentlemen, Al Madrigal, the man of 80 voices.

Reacts to an ugly hand job. What are you doing? Get your hand off my cock, you ugly bitch. Yeah. The angry man of 80 voices. Hateful. Borderline hateful. There you go.

Potentially misogynist. Who knows? Hard to say. Hard to say, but it's possible. Entirely possible. Maybe even likely. Anyway. It's just a character.

Let's just distract from Al's misogyny by re-bringing up my racist comment, shirtless Vato eating gelato. I'm going to take the hit for you on this one, Al. Can I throw something out that we can all agree on? Yeah. No matter whether the man is misogynist or the woman is attractive, and I'm going to presume she is because she's listening to this program. No matter what, we can all agree and reassure this young woman this was indeed a momentous occasion.

It really was, and it's just a wonderful moment. I've never heard of anything like this happening. I tried to take a piss in a drawer when I was eight. I used to eat a lot of dog food. My cousin Joe ran outside in the street and said, Lance, get the horses. That's a good one. But a dream, it's just a, you know.

Yeah. Dream job. 2 a.m. dream job. It's called a, you know. Yeah. Dream job. 2 a.m. dream job. Yeah. It's called a DJ, right? Yeah. Okay, we'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse, go. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Jordan, Jesse, go. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective. I'm Al Madrigal, the shirtless bonto eating gelato. The man of 80 voices. It's much better. Mr. Al Madrigal. Oh, Al. The Sound of Young America, MaximumFun.org

Can I? I love Granny. That was Tim and Eric and Patton Oswalt, right? Tim and Eric and Patton Oswalt. Right? There we go. Perfect. Okay, so this is a benefit for 826 LA.

You might be familiar with 826 if you're out there. It's the literary reading and writing education operation originally founded in San Francisco by Mr. Dave Eggers, who you might know from your college or high school English classes. And now it's just taken on a whole life of its own. Now it's taken on a life of its own. It's nationwide. Nationwide. It's in Chicago.

Anywhere where there's rich white people who feel guilty about the poor people they're displacing, you will find one of these 826 centers. It's amazing. It's really a spectacular operation. Anywhere there's a hipster guy looking to get laid through volunteer work, you'll find an 826 operation. So this is a benefit show.

When's the show? September 10th. Wednesday, September 10th at the Avalon. Right here in Los Angeles, California. Correct. So you go to 826LA.com and get tickets. You can get tickets. You're going to be putting a link on your site. There's going to be a link up on MaximumFun.org in the live section.

It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be a really amazing show, and all the money goes to charity. You know who puts this together, Jordan? Tell you who. Mr. Al Madrigal. That's true. Mr. Al Madrigal. Yes.

Al. What? You were going to say something, Al. I wasn't going to say anything. You just said, Al. Oh, that was the crowd yelling at you. Oh, yeah. The earlier, did you hear them earlier chanting,

Al, Al, Al, Al, Al, Al? I hear it all the time. That was really powerful for me. So, yeah, we're trying to get them out of this bad theater deal like I told you on the phone. Yeah, we'll see. It should be a good show. I mean, it's going to be a lot of fun. It's an amazing venue if you live in Los Angeles.

Raise some money for the kids. We're going to probably add some more big names. We're going to probably add some more big names. Certain big names who you might know from certain television programs with certain... Oh, I can't do the show. Don't tease me because I can't do the show. You're probably going to be too busy shooting the Hills parody. Yeah, that's what I would be on the show to promote.

Maybe you've heard of the president of beer He might be there Isn't that what it's called? The president of beer? Are you talking about Bob Odenkirk? I was talking about those commercials he did, right? Well, Jordan He was trying to just dance around it a little Dance around it a little

So you ruined it Yeah, sorry Anyway, I guess at the end of the day a little bit. Dance around it a little. So you ruined it. Yeah. Sorry. Anyway, I guess what we can, at the end of the day, what's important is that you might have somebody from the movie

Dog Park there. So, that's awesome, Al. A dog? A dog's going to be at the show? Well, it's not just any dog,

Jordan. It's a comedy dog. Dog that does comedy. It's really amazing. What's bad for Al is that this dog does 81 voices. Oh, no. And one of them is Al Magical. It's really amazing. What's bad for Al is that this dog does 81 voices. And one of them is Al

Madrigal. That's one of his impressions. He goes on before you. Exactly. Al Madrigal. Are you almadrigal.com? Yes. almadrigal.com. A-L-M-A-D-R-I-G-A-L. MySpace page that you never check. MySpace page that I never check. A Facebook page

that I check the Facebook on maybe once a week. If you get a chance to see Mr. Al Madrigal do comedy, he's a fucking delightful, wonderful comedian. A real delight. A native son of the city of San Francisco. The best city in the world. Really top flight fella and quite

hilarious and you really shouldn't miss the opportunity or we wouldn't have invited him to be here. You should really rediscover the Comedy Store if you live in Los Angeles. Yeah. Have you been recently? I mean, it only costs $25 and 12 drinks to get in. I went to the Comedy Store recently. I had a good time.

Yeah, it was great. The bar was kind of fun. Yeah, the bar's fun. You should really come down. I'd love you to be my guest and come and see. Jeff Garland is there on a regular basis. Mark Maron is there a lot. Mark Maron has stopped going.

He got scolded and decided he was never going to go again. He got scolded by someone. That seems like a bad plan to scold Mark Maron. It doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would respond well to a scolding. No. No. I'm too old now. I'm too old.

He relishes his elder statesman status. 81 voices. I just added Mark Maron. Yeah, no. He'll tell. I'm too old now. I'm too old. He relishes his elder statesman status. 82, 81 voices. I just added Mark Maron. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Our theme music is Love You by The Free Design, which is a real band. I really promise. People have been acting like we wrote this song or something.

And I say it at the end of every show. But Love You by The Free Design, they have a really wonderful best of on light in the attic records called uh the best of the called look heights are fun the best of the free design um and uh you know what jordan i want to throw this one thing in here sure might have noticed no sponsor messages this week we got a little what they call in the business inventory if you want to sponsor jordan j, go. Our listenership is way up, but by coincidence, because of the ends of terms of agreements where we don't have any sponsors at all.

It has to do with the tides. It's very complicated. What are we looking at? How much does it cost? A couple hundred bucks. I'm in. Al Madrigal's going to do it. I have a new project that I'm working on

with Greg Fitzsimmons and Dana Gould and Nick Swartzen and Bill Burr. It's a monstrous lineup, but we'll talk. You and me will talk. That's quite a lineup. That's a prestigious lineup. Swartz is real funny. I'm glad he's had some success with Mr. Adam Sandler because it's well-deserved.

He's a funny, funny man. Gould? Dana Gould. Could you ask for a funnier man? Or how about this? funny man. Gould? Dana Gould.

Could you ask for a funnier man? Or how about this? Could you ask for a funnier man who bought the house of one of the actors in a movie he likes and then made it into a shrine to the tribute house to the movie?

You ever been to Dana Gould's house? You go visit it sometime. Very nice house. He's got a tiki head from Planet of the Apes in the back because he loves Planet of the Apes so much. And it's got spotlights on it and the whole nine yards. It's got a lot of other Planet of the Apes stuff.

But this actual tiki head from Planet of the Apes is like six feet tall, eight feet tall in the backyard. But he bought Roddy McDowell's house because he loves Planet of the Apes so much. That's how rich Dana Gould is? Well, Dana Gould's wife's running HBO these days.
