Starting point is 00:00:48 You know, I'm just so, I've just been inspired and, you know, I'm about to turn 40 and I'm like, let's try. Let's just try and see how it feels. It could feel shitty, you know, but at least i'll know that you know i remember that feeling i was 39 once too and i was i found myself thinking what is 40 and then jed apatow made that movie to explain it to you right you're like oh yeah it's a little phil hendry cameo that's yeah that's what i was about to say you like that movie remember when phil henry was in it um anyway but so back to trying i thought you know i thought i'm kind of like looking at the podcast landscape and like what do people like you know right and true crime true crime uh i don't have
Starting point is 00:01:37 any of that for you okay um false crime again nothing yeah not even but what i i have some i have some pop culture analysis oh my gosh this is perfect i'm a pop culture addict okay i'm addicted to pop culture can i tell you who's the most successful podcasters we know glenn weldon and linda holmes hands down right yeah what what are they doing they're talking about their addiction to popular culture exactly oh they love to film novel uh i don't know zoetrope other yeah going down to the nickelodeon i actually yeah um yeah, the circus, a freak show that just has a monkey sewn to a fish and they tell you it's a mermaid. Pop culture. I'm an addict.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I gobble this stuff up. This guy loves it. Let's head down to the Midway and consume some pop culture. Love it. Let's head down to the Midway and consume some pop culture. Love it. So, yeah. So I actually watched I watched a pretty fascinating episode of, you know, of a kind of a buzzy streaming TV show. Oh, my God. This is perfect.
Starting point is 00:02:57 People love to talk about the buzz. We're basically Sam Sanders now. So do you have a review of the show that you watched yeah i i thought i would kind of just like describe it and you know and just kind of get into the weeds and okay see what you think and offer some you know inside and i mean that sounds great just get into it just say get into it because i'm addicted to this stuff i'm addicted i can't stop. Maybe you should go to PCA, Pop Culture Anonymous. Boy, I go to a drying out facility with no pop culture. Go to a nice methadone clinic, but for pop culture, not heroin.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Right. So here's, I just wanted to talk about. So it's so funny. So this was just a great episode. So the hero of this popular Netflix fantasy show, right? He replaced a drinking vessel and made a rude gesture to a clergyman while he was paying a gratuity to an exotic dancer, right? What he didn't know. I guess I don't feel like I know what show you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Let me, because sometimes these things start kind of obtuse, and then they reveal themselves. Okay. Is that something you learned from Glenn, or did Weldon teach you that? No, I learned about queer subtext in Batman from Glenn. Equally important. Both are important. The rise of fan culture and its meaning. So here, what this guy didn't know was that she was providing information
Starting point is 00:04:27 to a famous British serial killer who had a different receptacle for his bow and arrow than the ones belonging to Ronald Reagan, a famous dolphin, and the host of an HBO horror anthology whose name was one letter off. Okay?
Starting point is 00:04:41 Okay. So this is on Netflix? Things got really crazy when this old hbo horror anthology host whose name was one letter off had an alcoholic drink with a famous nicholas cage character and a kid's youtube host all right so the funny thing the funny thing about this kid's youtube host was that he was using the latch on his pants to perform a deception and he couldn't get them on okay to perform a deception so just in just to so to sum it all up the latch on his pants so to sum it all up what happened was yeah the titular witcher switches the pitcher and flips off the vicar while tipping the stripper who tipped off the ripper whose quiver did differ from the gipper and flipper and old man crypt kipper who quickly sipped liquor with a man made of wicker and blippy.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Go figure. He was playing a trick with a particular zipper and he cinched and he cinched, but his pants were too tight. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. For fuck's sake, Jordan. We have an Oscar nominee on the show this week. The fucking movie Oscars, dude. Yeah. I'm just trying to waste as much of their time as possible.

Our guest on the program is running a reverse Oscar campaign by appearing on our show. Oscar campaign by appearing on our show. He's the director of the wonderful animated film, Mitchell's versus the machines. He's much more successful than us and shouldn't be on this show.

Hi, i promised not to rip off your face and genitals that's the rionda promise i wish i could believe you i wish i could believe you i i will also say um i'm revealing too much but um i have had that in my head like quote unquote
Starting point is 00:09:42 rip off their face and genitals like monkeys rip off people's face. And I think I got it from you. And I forgot that I got it from you. And I put it in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. It's about to come out. Wait, what? For some reason, they cut it out. It was wild.
Starting point is 00:10:03 So this is quite a journey you took us on just now. I'm really tanking the whole credibility with the very nice intro you did. But the good news, Jordan, is that Bebop and Rocksteady are now called Chip Dipson and Dip Dobson. I did slip in Chip Dipson and Dip Dobs Thompson on a previous script, and they were removed. Jordan, Jesse, go. Colon, on the cutting room floor. Wait, so you worked on a new Ninja Turtles movie that's coming out? Is that?
Starting point is 00:10:39 Yeah, very briefly. And I don't even think it's official but i'm breaking it now baby yeah break the nda and i will say um at one point the character rat king said um yeah let's have the monkeys rip off their face for some reason the director got it i don't understand fool a fool was that before you got nominated for the oscar can you make a powerful and get it back in there and the director cut it. I don't understand. Fool. A fool. Was that before you got nominated for the Oscar? Can you make a powerful and get it back in there? I gotta do it.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I gotta go back in. Especially if I win, I'll slam it on the table and I'll be like, let's do some rewrites. Just pick up the red phone that connects you directly with your agent and be like, hey, hey, agent, get me Rat King. agent be like hey hey agent get me rat king agent's name is agent right yeah exactly john john agent uh michael what happens when you get nominated for an oscar like did does glenn close call you yeah it's weird glenn called um you know lapita nyong'o came to my house wow gave me a kiss on the cheek and said you are now one of us um no uh it was it was really
Starting point is 00:11:55 it was really wonderful i mean it's like i you know i'm a you know nerd maniac who just should not be getting any oscars um so I watched, I was watching it with my family and we were all like having a party. And, but I'm also an idiot. So I lost my cell phone that day. So like all these people were calling me and I was like, I don't know. And then I got a new cell phone
Starting point is 00:12:22 and then it was just a bunch of numbers I didn't recognize. And I was like, who is this? Who is this? And then I, this is Lupita Nyong'o. Which one is your house? I have to get you. And it was also very on brand because, um, uh, I was at my parents' house in this like rural area. And there was literally a woodpecker who took out the wi-fi cable so i couldn't contact anyone and then i had to do all of the press in the back of my dad's pickup outside of a starbucks where i was you were stealing their wi-fi uh i we bought some coffees i'm sorry i said stealing i'm sorry i said stealing it was uh it I said stealing. It was great. And honestly, the thing that was most, because it was really nice. I mean, you know, people called and they interviewed us and a lot of, but the biggest deal to me for some reason was the local news station, KSBW8.
Starting point is 00:13:23 We're like, would you like to be on the news and i was like on ksbw eight with dan green um and uh they're like dan green is busy but um we'll interview you you got big timed by green huh i got way big time by green but um wait so is this this is where like in the town you grew up in yeah and i actually i grew up in salinas, California, very close to your Santa Cruz. I know all about the golden surfboard. I've seen it in the window of the red room or whatever. Nice. Nice Santa Cruz dive bar pole.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I was trying to find something. That's it. Um, good. And, uh, and yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:13:59 And, and I, I grew up in Salinas and it was, um, it was like a really awesome town to grow up in, but yeah. And I, I sort of went back there to do all that it was like a really awesome town to grow up in. But yeah. And I, I sort of went back there to do all that Oscar stuff and then I lost my phone and I went back to the website.
Starting point is 00:14:09 So, so, um, here I am. Uh, no. And, and I've, I've, I've listened to you guys for 10 years. Um, and I've like, I, I have such warm memories, like, like finding this podcast and then mainlining like 120 episodes, whatever was out at the time, just like doing fat lines of D.C. Pearson and Mary Roach legends. You have to look out because sometimes sometimes Mary Roach is actually cut with a little fentanyl. I've got some strips. Yeah, you test it. You have to test the mary roach yeah yeah you gotta test them you can get it from a lot of anarchist bookstores a little
Starting point is 00:14:52 vowel in there so you gotta look out party safe.org right um well congratulations michael i was telling you this before the show but i'm gonna tell it to you now again for the benefit of our audience. I have to watch many of the popular children's films of the day because I have children. And you can't just watch Master and Commander with them. And so I've seen a number of these films that have come out and as a general rule i hate them but i really liked yours i didn't even know that means so much i didn't even know that uh we knew each other or any of you like jordan jesse go or anything i just heard it was pretty good and then i watched it and i was like man that was great i really enjoyed that uh so that means that means that means the world to me uh because i've heard you
Starting point is 00:15:49 rip so many things to shreds over the years it's uh i can feel i can feel the sincerity michael i'll tell you what what i didn't like all other children's films ever so let's get into it except for babe pig in the city hey pig in the city is a classic i watched this that's not true because last night i watched this movie about uh these japanese raccoons that have magic testicles and it was great pom poco that shit was tremendous that shit was fucking hilarious it's so takahata it's one of his uh it's it's honestly not my favorite one but um you gotta admit that shit's fucking hilarious they got those magic testicles i love how big and round and bulky their balls i have to agree with you about that
Starting point is 00:16:37 how come there wasn't any fucking balls in your movie michael now that i think about it great question they did uh just a parable about the dangers of technology and the value of family they wouldn't let us put any fat bulky nuts unfortunately this is a this is a theme so not only did the testicles from from mitchell's get cut but also the testicle line from ninja so yes absolutely dude it's um it's i i feel like i'm being shackled by the man from uh from from giving kids the ball content that they deserve is this because dreamworks made all those uh minions movies about human testicles testicles with little pants on it's they are goals and um jesse that's the illumination please jesse please i beg of you
Starting point is 00:17:31 and it's it's a real shame that that hollywood is ignoring all the best advice and neglecting the balls i know it's a real tragedy it It's a shame. Totally in the animation space. In the animation, of course, yes. In the animation space, yes. There's a lot of great live action ball play. Guys, what would you say is your favorite Studio Ghibli movie? For me, it's got to be Minions 2. Jesse. be minions too jesse kayao miyazaki's wonderful tale shrek the third yeah it was my personal favorite you i will not do this bit with you guys because i do not want to commit at mention suicide
Starting point is 00:18:17 i refuse like that time i said on this show that i didn't like shrek jesus christ oh man oh the storm of shit i but you know what i take it back i'm glad someone finally took fairy tales down a notch okay oh boy i was sick of their bullshit not doing not doing this bit with you glad someone took okay i have a different i have a different subject do you guys ever bought or sold on ebay the electronic bay absolutely no i have not what do you like to buy and sell on ebay michael um when i was a kid i would buy animation memorabilia because i'm a huge nerd um i bought a picture of bob clamp it's original 1946 unit um uh and it was original. So top that. Wow. His unit? You neglected the ball? Yeah, his huge unit.
Starting point is 00:19:09 No, it was his team that made his films. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty good. Yeah. Maybe you bought a Mr. T lunchbox at some point. Yeah, why not? Why wouldn't you? Look, we've all gone on eBay and bought a Mr. T lunchbox. It's just part of.
Starting point is 00:19:23 You know what I bought? I wish I could turn my computer. I did. I bought something on eBay recently, something like in that zone from my childhood. I wonder if it's worth turning my computer. It's like above me. I don't know that this is,
Starting point is 00:19:34 please. Okay. Let's see. Go ahead. Yeah. You can turn your computer around. Jordan's turning his computer around. See it.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Oh, it's just, it's justice league international. Yeah. The 1987 team with Blue Beetle, Booster Gold. Anyway. Is this a fold-out from a comic? It is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:54 So it was like something that you would get for free when you bought it. And I had one as a kid, and my mom threw it away. Doesn't she know about Keith Geffen? Thank you, Mom! She doesn't know about Keith Geffen, doesn't know about jm demadius my mom doesn't even know anything about guy gardener the rogue lantern your mom's got a brush up on booster gold but jordan you've replaced it and now you'll never die yeah oh I think you mean never have sex. For the listeners at home,
Starting point is 00:20:30 there's 14 nude women behind George. I'm almost done, ladies. They love to watch me podcast. I went on eBay to purchase something for my daughter. She had saved up to buy a PlayStation Portable. Whoa, cool. Really? The top gaming system of 2007 or whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Does she want to watch UMD? Get her a Vita. Whoa! Rihanna had a Vita right at arm's length. That's great. She does want to watch UMDs. She's currently arguing for a UMD of the Twilight Zone, which, look, you haven't lived till you've watched the Twilight Zone on a three by two inch screen. And, hey, if you find any UMDs, why don't you ask George W. Bush where the WMDs are? Thanks, Jordan.
Starting point is 00:21:24 You hear that, Colin Powell? We're going to watch the Twilight Zone on a three-inch by two-inch screen. He's shaking right now. We're going to watch specifically half of it before the batteries run out. So I was looking around on eBay, and you guys know about the feedback system on eBay. I've been an eBay member since 1999. I've been using eBay longer, obviously, but I've been a member since 1999 with my current account. I have 1,487 feedback on eBay, 100% positive.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Powerful. That's the number that you want to hit if you're if you're talking about ebay feedback you want to hit 100 so i was doing some research on some people who were selling playstation portables and one of them had a good price on a playstation portable said it would been tested new battery that's what we were looking Right. But they had like a 96.4% or something like that. And that is big trouble on the electronic bay. That is, uh-oh, what's wrong? Because anything that goes wrong on eBay, to get to the point where someone actually leaves the feedback, something has to have gone badly wrong.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So I went into their feedback to see what it was. Because sometimes, you know, you never know exactly what it's going to be, but you want to be able to sort of cross-reference it against what you're buying to decide whether you're taking a reasonable risk. And I was going to say four or five dollars by using this seller rather than somebody with a hundred percent. I was serious I was serious. I was all in. Yeah. You're a thrifty shopper. And I found the negative review in the past six months that had been left on
Starting point is 00:23:12 this account. I thought you guys might be interested in hearing it. Yes. Well, this was item number four, zero three, three, three,
Starting point is 00:23:19 two, nine, eight, three, six, eight, four. I don't know if you guys remember that item.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I've actually, I've, I six, eight, four. I don't know if you guys remember that item. I've actually, I've, I'm writing all this down. So, um, this is, I'm just reading it. This is not a bit.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I mean, it's a bit in the sense that I saved it to read it later, but this is word for word. You should make all the words rhyme. That'll make it better. It's been done, Jordan. I only do new stuff. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:49 All right. Okay. All right. Here's the feedback that was left there. And I found it edifying. I thought you guys might find it edifying if you're looking to buy a PlayStation Portable. I am. Ordered two container of nuts.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Large one didn't arrive. Cellar silent in catbird seat. Rip off. God is going to punish this guy. Whoa. People don't realize if you rip someone off, you curse yourself and your loved ones whoa i lost money he is selling his soul planters mixed nuts with sea salt 56 ounce resealable
Starting point is 00:24:40 canister so oh my god this person who is selling a PSP is also selling bulk mixed nuts? 56 ounces. Does that count as bulk? What's that? About 4 pounds? I think that's a big boy of mixed nuts.
Starting point is 00:24:59 How long would it take you to eat? I could do that in a week. It'd probably take me months. I don't like mixed nuts that much. You don't like mixed nuts? You've got to pick around. Not enough peanuts? I like to eat mixed nuts until I'm...
Starting point is 00:25:14 So they're there when I'm starving. Right. And then I eat enough to be not starving, and then I stop eating them. You know what a lot of people don't realize? If you rip someone off, you curse yourself and your loved ones. That's true. I did hear that in the review. Yeah, I feel bad for this guy's loved ones. They didn't rip anybody off and they have to endure God's curses.
Starting point is 00:25:39 When you order nuts, Jordan, how many container do you order? Well, first of all when i'm order i order container because i never neglect the nuts we know that jordan i never neglect the nuts yeah um but i order one or two container jordan when it comes to my nuts i of course have large one and small one but large one didn't arrive did you get the psp yeah we order the psp it's coming in the mail jordan it's coming in the mail i have this question though yeah how does your daughter know to get a psp she saw it in a movie oh my daughter has a persistent interest in old
Starting point is 00:26:26 technology. And this is the way you can tell the difference between old technology and new technology. The older technology doesn't quite work right, but the stakes are really high and dad has to fix it.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I remember I was a little like Lord fauntleroy child and i remember asking my mom for a um super famicom and and like 14 import games right she's like i don't i don't think santa can handle that you know i don't think he knows the routes to Japan. Yeah. He's not into proxy buyers. Yeah. I think he can maybe handle a new NES game. That's kind of worth that Santa's level. Yeah. Santa's got a used Rob the video robot.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Is that anything? Let Santa know. I want to play Ranma one half in the original Japanese Jordan you're exactly right Ranma one and a half was I also yeah I've been version of it oh yeah oh yeah sure okay top five Ranma's

Starting point is 00:28:12 who every girl is in love with for no reason to play the role of that's my life baby and you um and i actually started playing it when i turned 30 in in a sort of um almost manic state where i would be playing it for like 20 hours at a time and my then um fiance and now wife was like should i be concerned and i'm like no no i'm just working stuff out you know i'm just i'm a beautiful gray-haired boy i'm in love with chie. I don't like Sasuke as much. I just got to beat this demon. And she's like, all right, I'm going to give you space. You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:28:51 The magical raccoons have enormous. They're on our team. They can use them to fly. It's beautiful. I tried to play one of those persona games because everybody loves them everybody i know like who who i like to talk about games with loves them and like they're there's so much like so there's a lot of like demon fighting but there's also like minutiae there's also like life minutiae so when you're not fighting demons you're just like
Starting point is 00:29:21 doing life stuff and you know i liked the demon fighting but you're just like doing life stuff. And, you know, I liked the demon fighting. But when it came to the life stuff, I'm like, all right. And I so I did not play for I think I was playing five. And you like live in the back of a coffee shop. You're that your uncle owns. Does this simulate that sort of like 65 year old poet guy that used to wander the streets in my neighborhood it got close yeah that's that's the vibe did you used to know lawrence ferlinghetti this is this is the world of persona 5 okay one quick thing
Starting point is 00:30:03 about it that is amazing is is when you're um when you're going around the town and you're sort of like talking to chie or asuka or whoever whoever it is and you ask them a question about their personal life and it's like how's your dad all of a sudden a sword slash comes across the screen and a choir sings and it's like social link achieved it's like craziest thing and you're like you're like no um uh you know you look different today are those new glasses and there's it's it's the wildest thing in the world and um i hope it is training children to believe that that really happens in real life. I love that. I love an announcement of achievement in a video game.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I could use more of those in real life. Nightmare slaying. And Jordan's old pal Nathaniel Chapman, who still works in the video game industry. He used to be, I used to be his housemate. And Jordan would come over and they would play burned cds of japanese fighting games on a dreamcast um and uh hell yeah bro college was fucking rad i mean nathaniel played garu mark of the wolves nathaniel nathaniel got me playing this super mario game where super mario has a hose that hoses off walls oh yeah yeah mario sunshine yeah and then every so often i don't remember what you did to get this but every so often just on the
Starting point is 00:31:33 screen a big thing would say shine get yeah fucking i think about shine gets every day of my life that was 20 years ago every time like my dog is lying in a pool of light coming through a window i think oh fuck yeah shine get and then a sun explodes from his and it gives you power yeah it's a firestorm the nuclear man situation i'm playing this game and i'm liking the demon fighting but kind of struggling with the day-to-day minutiae stuff and then you know that my my little you know heads up display gives me like oh i have a new mission and then i follow the thing to where the mission is and what it wants me to do is change the coffee shop sign from open to closed and and i was just like i guess fuck this
Starting point is 00:32:29 i guess fuck this and i i yeah i my time is not valuable it's certainly not but also i don't know i guess fuck this i guess i don't really want to change the sign from open to closed. You just need to be super lonely and be having a crisis, and then you'll love it. Jordan, have you thought at all about watching some lore videos? Oh, yeah. Maybe that would help me get into it more if I just knew more about the Persona lore. Oh, I just presume that you would want to know specifically more about that sign at the coffee shop. I know. Who built the sign if it's
Starting point is 00:33:06 imbued with any magical talismans i do i do watch enjoy watching lord videos though she's so talented very talented she's so very talented yeah um you guys want to take a little break and watch a lord video and then come back for some more yeah we'll be back in just a second with Oscar nominee.

I'm not going to say who the guy is, but I was recommending EMDR as a type of trauma-aware therapy. Yeah, something we do and that we like to talk about because we realize that sometimes people put off doing therapy because they feel like it's weird or they feel like it's strange or they feel like if they do it, then people will think that they're weird or strange. But we're just you know, I put it off, Jordan, and I did put it off for a while.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I've been in therapy quite some time now. It's been immensely helpful to me, but I put it off for a while. I've been in therapy quite some time now. It's been immensely helpful to me. But I put it off for a while just because I was like, I'm not that broken. You know? Sure. Yeah.

Hmm. This is just in our ad segment here. Saw something at the flea market today. I didn't spend the $6 because it felt, frankly, exorbitant to me.
Starting point is 00:41:34 But it was a Mr. Bean themed Hot Wheels. You know, sometimes it's just enough. You don't have to buy it. You can just see it and go, you know what? That exists. Yeah. I saw that. I saw that Hot Wheels and it lectured me on how you can't have to buy it you can just see it and go you know what that exists yeah i saw that i saw that hot wheels and it it lectured me on how you can't do jokes anymore but honestly you
Starting point is 00:41:50 fucking blew it you should have bought that thing yeah i probably didn't this is mr bean in the you can't do jokes anymore crap yes oh bummer i know another one bites the dust i'd say he's really got his head up his own ass but he's got his head up a turkey's ass. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. A raw turkey. Right. And that turkey is saying, I can't do colleges because of all those snowflakes.

Love you, love you, love you. it's jordan jesse go i'm jesse thorn america's radio sweetheart jordan moore's boy detective and i'm my granddad i have no nickname i can't think of one oh Oh, God. Oh, the walls are closing in on me. Michael, great nickname. The walls are closing in on me, Rihanna. A plus plus.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Yeah. A plus plus. Guys, can I tell you something that I saw with my own eyes today? Please. Sure. I was driving on the freeway. Driving on the freeway headed to Torrance, California. Not to brag, just kind of a lifestyle thing for me, heading to Torrance, the gateway to the South Bay.
Starting point is 00:43:22 And I saw someone smoking a cigarette in their car with the windows up. And I just remembered that that's something people used to do. Like you would get into your friend's parents' car and they would be smoking in the car with the windows up. And it just was a normal thing not that long ago. And my thinking on this right now is you know when people say like we need to get america i'm not going to use any slogans but you know how these people say sometimes we need to get america back to when it was good right you know what i mean and usually people use an example like oh you know like there's gay marriage now or you know there used to be jim crow laws or that kind of thing and that it feels excessive to me. It feels like we don't need to go that far.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Like we can have that in our back pocket if we need it. But I don't think we will. We can just say people used to smoke in the car with the windows up. Fucking Jesus Christ. That's all. It just, you know, had that in my sights, had to take it down, you know. Holy shit. Was it when you looked at them, there was like smoke filling the car? I can't even imagine. That's how far we've come. Yeah. Maybe they were just hotboxing it, bro.
Starting point is 00:44:37 They had a cigarette in their hand. It was like, so when I was assistant news director of KZSC-FM in Santa Cruz, California, again, this is just lifestyle content. This is not. Look, I have an aspirational lifestyle. Everyone knows it. From Torrance to assistant news director. Jesse Goop Thorn. Well, I had one of those marble eggs up my butt, if that helps. I mean, it doesn't help me, but it might help you.
Starting point is 00:45:10 In between the breaks, he did try to sell me on a pyramid scheme. The news director was just... I bought $13,000 worth of leggings from Jesse? Look, we all did. It's fine. If anyone needs leggings, please slide into my dm they make your ass look amazing jordan thank you they do he's posing right now it's incredible and they're wicking that's true you're wicking they're the girl who was the news director of the radio station who was my boss she had a car and she would give me a ride home after we recorded the news and it was
Starting point is 00:45:47 either get a ride or it was like a half hour walk so it was a fucking thrill to get a ride and she had a really cool car she drove a dots and honeybee which is a really cool car and she was cute and uh so it was really exciting except that she smoked cigarettes in the car with the windows up and so it was like an eight minute drive she smoked cigarettes in the car with the windows up. And so it was like an eight minute drive. And I would be like dizzy and nauseous. No, this isn't the 20th century. This is the 21st century now.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Anyway, when you're in a Datsun, it can be whatever century you fucking want it to be. Yeah, that's what the good folks over at Datsun us yeah want it to be the bronze age it can be in a dotson they are a sponsor there's a little dotson logo in the bottom right corner of all your there is yes if everyone just looks in the bottom right corner of the podcast you'll see that dotson logo dotson honeybee it could be the bronze age and the dots and um have you ever you know about this michael since since the main media that you consume is jordan jesse go hell yeah you probably know about this thing we've been talking about which is seeing media or consuming media at inappropriate times in one's life or an inappropriate contexts. Sure. Is this something that has ever happened to you? Of course. Like you
Starting point is 00:47:08 saw Mitchells versus the machines at a porno theater. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And everyone loved it. No, I'm kidding. It's a parable that I was going towards and I'm pulling back. Yeah. Yeah. This is great. Yeah. Good call. But no, I
Starting point is 00:47:24 did see. Congratulations the oscar nomination i'm really tanking tanking the whole thing right now um but hold on glenn close is texting me tell rihanna it's off he's unnominated um but uh but no i did um one time me and my cousin were so excited to see scary movie two or scary movie one i don't know what it was one of the scary movies and i was like we're like grandma scary movie is great and she's like sure i was like it's like airplane or something and then there was just a scene of a woman getting blasted with semen into a ceiling and my grandma was there and she was just like she was really she was like trying to be nice she's like oh oh oh okay okay they must
Starting point is 00:48:14 like this so i shouldn't make a big deal of it because she's a really nice lady and she's just like averting her gaze as this is happening she's like i loved in living color i want to make that clear before we talk about i love the wrote a song about it like to hear it here it goes guy yeah totally she was a big fire marshal bill what happened between mo money and this she said i loved mo money yeah because i bet you because you're selling it like Airplane, where the main joke is, I had a drinking problem, and then the guy splashes himself in the face. I love it.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Everyone's having a good time. Everyone can enjoy that. But then a woman gets blasted to the ceiling with cum. It was also in Salinas, California, which sometimes has gang issues so there i think there was also like a night fight in that screening and someone and like the call cops came and had to get kicked out and for some reason we didn't leave we were like no we're gonna ride it out um it was a bad bad decision all around that's a classic uh let classic decision whether to ride it out.
Starting point is 00:49:25 That was a decision made many times at the mission pool in my childhood was knives are out. Should we stop swimming? And the answer is you're safest in the water. It's a reverse Jaws situation. No one dove into the water knife first. Yeah. situation you know and dove into the water knife first yeah just swimming towards you hard to get a good stab uh well someone called with one of these uh someone called with one of these and look we have this thing that records it and then brian plays it so we might as well do
Starting point is 00:49:59 that shit hi jordan jesse brian and guest host. Let me guess, the combined ghosts of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. I'm calling in for the inappropriate content that you were exposed to on the wrong occasion segment. I can't actually remember this one myself because it occurred under the age of four years old. because it occurred under the age of four years old. But this was a day where my father was watching me. I was on the living room carpet in front of the television playing with a pair of My Little Ponies. And my father was also watching Die Hard. When my mother came in from grocery shopping and found us that way,
Starting point is 00:50:40 she was very angry at my dad for showing me Die Hard. And he said, it doesn't matter. She's so little, she's not going to remember any of it. It was at this moment that I made one of the My Little Ponies say, yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker, to the other My Little Pony. I don't know if this was the beginning of the end of my parents' marriage. if this was the beginning of the end of my parents' marriage, but I do like to think that it was certainly one of the first chapters in that epic downfall. Thank you so much for what you do.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Have a good one. That's why they call Bruce Willis the original brony. Nice. That was as good as a moth segment. Yeah. If it had been that guy with like the crazy high voice, we could have that to the moth you know he kind of talks like no wait that was uh more of a like a time that was like a mike tyson voice you know the guy i'm talking i don't know the guy with a crazy voice i'd want you to keep trying crazy voice guy yeah he's like, remember when I fought you in the Holyfield?
Starting point is 00:51:47 Oh, my God. I mean, Mike Tyson, I bet, has some great stories. Yeah. He has to use notes, though, so he can never be fine. He has to use notes. He's like, I got my notes app out. Sorry. I'm studious.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Sorry. Yeah. yes sorry yeah um that i mean that should be that feels like a feels like a you know because i mean what's good that's that's what pop culture is now you're just they're just selling it back to us selling our childhoods back just do a fucking my little pony where you push the tail and it says yippee-ki-yay it's the horse theme kind of works the horse it a horse you because it's a kind of a horse guy thing to say you know a horse guy wild west horse guy you know just it's it's it's right there it works you can put a little stubble on the horse its feet can be bloody because it had to walk over glass barefoot yeah yeah perfect i think that's a great idea jordan um can i pitch another sort of uh related nostalgia project
Starting point is 00:52:46 reboot type situation the return of the return of bruno that's the new bruce willis album right we need to talk we need to talk about the return of bruno make it an in the universe in kanto huh yeah oh okay i'm thinking about in kanto you're thinking about the movie in kanto i do you know what i liked in kanto a lot there you go i haven't seen in kanto i don't only tear things down i build things up and finally someone's supporting the movie in kanto which i really enjoyed uh mike are there mitchell's versus the machines toys um no guys i wrote a lot of impassioned emails oh boy and um for you know for some reason i just think it's like i don't know whatever it's like it's like um how the
Starting point is 00:53:42 logistics work but they were like we promise you we refuse to make money off this like there we i will be dead in the ground before you make money off merchandising and i was like but it could be fun and it helps support the movie and they're like no um and you know maybe maybe they have their reasons i don't yeah i know what the fuck their reasons are what are they they sign their rights over to george. Yeah, I know what the fuck their reasons are. What are they? They signed their rights over to George Lucas. George Lucas gets all the money from merchandising. They don't have any interest in it. Well, he needs it.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Poor guy. Yeah, he does for his museum. His museum of shit he had. I will say one of my family's for some reason, my family like um stories that they tell is my aunt was one once at a restaurant in san francisco and they saw george lucas and he literally had 12 model beautiful women sitting around him like he walked in with them like you know that old infomercial with the guy who was on the cruise ship and he's surrounded by beautiful women in bikinis? It was kind of like that.
Starting point is 00:54:48 And they were all laughing hysterically at all of his jokes. And they said, he said, wow. Well, they were probably impressed with his collection of science fiction memorabilia and Norman Rockwell illustrations. So George Lucas eats dinner like iPodcast? Exactly. Whoa. Jesse, is that like a Bay Area thing? You grow up and you get George Lucas sightings?
Starting point is 00:55:15 Yeah, I don't know about George Lucas sightings because I think he lives in like the northern part of Marin County or in Sonoma or something like that. So he's pretty far from San Francisco most of the time. But you definitely would like like a dad at your school would have met an Ewok. OK, like that was the main shit. That super fast Ewok that I talk about all the time is friends with you know vicente's dad he comes sprinting out to shake your hand sprint you know what speaking of tearing shit down something that i've been stuck in my craw for a boy for 33 years now okay fucking vicente vicente from my elementary school you guys know this guy okay this is not okay i was worried this
Starting point is 00:56:05 is gonna be a town this is i was worried this was gonna be at the expense of a beloved entertainment property but no it's just you know all right an eight-year-old yeah i can yeah expensive an eight-year-old this guy said the 1989 loma prieta earthquake was fun like a roller coaster to him you know what fucking vicente how about this i was in a door jam in my mom's apartment and you know what your boy was fucking crying okay that shit was not fun i was in tears i was scared for days afterward and would not leave the house so fuck you vicente and your fucking roller coaster ride is it possible and again jesse we've that he tackled me in a game of flag football on asphalt once yeah fuck you vicente people died in the loma prieta earthquake you they fell through a bridge
Starting point is 00:57:01 into the ocean i'm a part of this bullying circle now for this 30-year-old kid. Now, I've never met Vincente. Vicente, yeah. Not Vincente. You've been my friend for years. Yeah. So, you know, like, I want to take your side. You haven't been my friend as long as Vicente has, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Is it possible that Vicente was right and that you were being like a diaper baby? Like a baby who needs a diaper. You're talking about making a mess in my diety? Yeah. Making a boom boom in your nappies. You're talking about stinking up my trousers. Just as a thought experiment. Let's say, what if he was right and you were being a diaper baby?
Starting point is 00:58:06 diaper baby so like if i was being a diaper baby but vicente who said that a horrific natural disaster that not only killed dozens of people but caused millions of dollars in damage and stopped the world series dead in its tracks my grandma called us because she saw it on tv when she was watching the world series that he was right and i put a boom boom in my diet i mean i don't know i don't know i don't know i'm not an earthquake expert i'm a pop culture addict right we have to check political facts yeah yeah how many Pinocchios did this get three Pinocchios for that statement because his diapy is full three diapies
Starting point is 00:58:51 I'd say this in response I'd say this yes it is possible but no touch football games should not have linebackers it should really just be defensive backs receivers and quarterbacks and look if there's an odd number of players you just have an all-time quarterback okay that's
Starting point is 00:59:12 going to be tony mccauley because he's little but he's got a black belt in karate everybody knows that about tony mccauley and he had a nintendo and a fucking Sega Master System. Whoa. Cool. Jeez. That is cool. And he had his birthday party at Pizza and Pipes. Pipe organ themed pizza restaurant. Okay. 1% needs to be taken down. All about finding kids from your grade school and bringing them down.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Yeah. Yeah. There's no moral way to get a Nintendo and a Master System. Right. No, you can't have a sega and a nintendo okay guys uh we create a lot of cool segments for our show we're very creative and think of a lot of things uh we don't just come in here with a list of words that rhyme um and so when someone calls in for one of those segments they usually just say which segment it is because there's so many that we've thought of at 206-9844-FUN or JJGO at MaximumFun.org. And here's one of those segments that was our idea.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Hello, Jordan. Hello, Jesse. And I'm going to guess Hollywood hunk Mike Mitchell. This is Chris in Northridge. And I'm calling in for your beloved segment, Juicy Jams. And I believe today I have found the juiciest of jams. Juicy by Jume. I present to you, Christian Hot Tubbin'. around this is what i said thank you lord for another day all the blessings just in my way
Starting point is 01:00:49 this okay you guys should know that existed this is real this isn't like some shit he made first of all because somebody sent me this shit on uh somebody sent me this shit on Instagram. So I texted Ashkahn. So wait, this needs some setup. Okay. So our friend Ashkahn from college who directed Jordan's student play that he wrote that I was the star of but probably should have been like fourth on the bill based on my skill and talent. But they ran out of dudes. skill and talent um but they ran out of dudes um but the other dude in it was not only did a good job but he's very charismatic intensely charismatic but he had the same name as the guy who may or may not have killed somebody from the first scene of from the first season of serial so i think people
Starting point is 01:01:38 have the background now right i don't think i had the background and I was there. His name was Adman. So Ashkahn, our friend Ashkahn is a very talented actor who's got some notable theater awards. He's also a talented singer and rapper. And Ashkahn wrote a totally hilarious, totally great song called Hot Tubbin that is a huge hit on YouTube and is really great. Everybody should look up Ashkahn's hit song, Hot Tubbin. It's 10 fucking stars. It's really great.
Starting point is 01:02:17 My kids sing it to each other. It's a really, really awesome song. And this is a Christian song that apparently is built on a loop from hot tub in which I can, I can only presume they did not clear this sample. Um, and maybe Jesus cleared it for them. Hard to say. Um, this is what, uh, Ashcon sent to me, uh, laughing emoji, laughing emoji, laughing emoji. I said, I said, somebody on Instagram just sent me this and sent him a link to it. He wrote laughing emoji, laughing emoji, laughing emoji, ridiculous. And then I was like, well, then he's taking it well. And then about five or 10 minutes later, he texted me again. Okay, full disclosure. Just saw my text of myself to you from MaxFunCon 2012.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Thought you were sending that. Now I realize you're sending me a song that has maybe ripped off Hot Tubbin. Or I'm just confused. Hi, pal. Good to hear from you. So Ashkahn is on the case. So good. Ashkahn is on the case.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Ashkahn is there. Don't fuck with Ashkahn is on the case ashkahn is there don't fuck with ashkahn devaron is this uh is this gonna be a is this gonna be a blurred line situation where yeah he's gonna have to end up this christian guy's gonna have to claim that he was so high he doesn't remember what happened and he just went along with whatever pharrell told him to do is that robin thick's defense yeah and then pharrell told him to do. Is that Robin Thicke's defense? Yeah, and then Pharrell's going to be like, I got off scot-free and no one knows why.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Remember when my hat had its own Twitter account? It was a fucking great hat, to his credit. A lot of people were talking shit about that hat. You know what? I'm all about building stuff up, and I'm here to say that I really liked Pharrell's hat that one time that he had that crazy hat on. I thought it looked great.
Starting point is 01:04:05 And I really liked that time in social media where something would be in the news and then it would get its own Twitter account. Yeah. Like a snake that escaped from the zoo. Left shark. Come on. Left shark. Left shark. A classic in the genre.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Yes. Yes. The genre here is sided sharks um if you if look if you have a call for a segment that we've created give us a call 206-984-4-fun or send us a voice these were nice sounded. I bet these were voice memos. Send a voice memo to JJ go at maximum fun.org. Um, and look, if you're going to call in for one of our segments, just know that it's not just something that you wanted to talk about. And then you name a segment after it and claim that we invented it. That's not what this is. This is shit that we thought of using our creativity. We use a lot of, we wrote these down and mailed them to ourselves. Writers Guild of America.
Starting point is 01:05:06 I'm SAG eligible, folks. I'm SAG eligible. All I got to do is write that check for $3,000 and I am in. I am in. I'm a union man, baby. Someone cast Jesse
Starting point is 01:05:19 in something that pays $200 so he loses money. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse, go. Hi, I'm looking for a movie. Oh, I got you. There's that new foreign film with the time travel.
Starting point is 01:05:40 There's an amazing documentary about queer history on streaming. Have I told you about this classic where giant robots fight? Or there's that one that most critics hated, but I thought was actually pretty good. Ooh, I know. The one with the huge car chase. And then there's that scene where the car jumps over the submarine.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Wow. Who are you eclectic movie experts? Well, I'm Evie Wadiwe. I'm Drea Clark. And I'm Alonzo Duraldi. And together we host the movie podcast Maximum Film. New episodes every week on MaximumFun.org. And you actually just walked into our recording booth.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Oh, weird. Sorry. I thought this was a video store. You seem like a lady with a lot of problems. Well, Manolo, we have a show to promote. It's called Dr. Game Show. It's a family-friendly podcast where listeners submit games and we play them with callers from around the world.
