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 sucks and run you. It's Jordan Jesse Go. I am Jesse Thorne America's Radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, taking it all in good humor. Taking it with the, as it was intended, Jordan Morris here, not bothered at all by anything anyone says. Jesse Thorne, taking the good humor, man.

as deep as I can. Yes. Oh, yes. As deep as it'll go. Give me those shortcake pops, you say. Uh-huh. No, I'm talking about a conversation

we were having last night. Okay. We've two records here in as many days. Yeah. Because let's face it, we can't get enough of this stuff. Who knows when these episodes will come out?

Yes. Will the show still exist in three weeks? No way to know. Hard to say. Seems unlikely. We're banking on it, though, because we're, you know, we're here using an afternoon. We gotta put out a podcast.

We're banking on it. There's like, we like to party. We have to podcast. Is it the Vanga Bus? Yeah, that's sure. We have to podcast. Yeah, talking about a conversation, we. Everybody make a show.

What's that? That's the everybody clap your hands guy. Ah, yes. Yeah, I think this is off to a great start, another classic episode from Jordan and Jesse and their guests who were going to introduce soon. What if all those songs were by Bobby McFerrin? I wouldn't be surprised. What if we just learned...

Is there anything he can't do? All Bobby McFeran... What Bobby McFeran has been doing the last 40 years is traveling the world, performing musical miracles, occasionally putting them on YouTube, and then your aunt sends them to you and says, did you know Bobby McFerrin was a genius?

And you're like, yeah, he's been a genius since 1988. Right. But what if he was also the guy behind who let the dogs out, Right. Everybody clap your hands. Various jock jams. Baby shark.

Every jock jam. Yeah. Just all novelty dance hits were by Bobby McFerrin also. Wouldn't be surprised. Okay, go ahead. We were having a chat last night post show, and I found that we had both been running into the same thing that was making us upset. Yeah. You know, we've been doing this show a long time, almost 20 years now.

You're talking about woke culture? Well, yeah. But that's for another podcast. that we'll record in Austin. Come see us at the Comedy Mothership. Just kidding, we're not going to do that. Something that has been grinding our gears a little bit. We've been doing the show a while,

and we have both been experiencing more often than someone seeing us on the street and saying, oh, I listen to your podcast. We are now getting, oh, I used to listen to your podcast. I used to. And first of all, I just want to make clear, if you're hearing this right now, You currently listen to our podcast.

You do. And we like you. You're one of the good ones. Which we say about a lot of kinds of people, frankly. You know, we're both tender, delicate men. Oh, God, yes. Very delicate. Dear Lord, yes.

We're just cold sores. We're living cold sores on the lip of humanity. Do not prick us lest we pus. Yes. Full of pus, full of blood, full of tears, and insecurity about how our careers have gone. Yeah. And, you know, this, I think, I don't think we've, we talked about how we've dealt with it. I personally am dealing with it by saying like, oh, well, hey, thank, nice, all, nice to talk to you.

Thank you very much. But inside, I'm saying, what the fuck? What, why would, why would you, what the fuck? Like, why wouldn't someone just say, I like your podcast or I've heard your podcast? This is sort of. I'm not going to quiz you, Jordan, on recent episodes. We're both very delicate men. Yes.

But I feel this has some parallel to your reaction to dads telling you what if there was a Superman who was bad. Yeah, sure. Yes, this is also something I get at Comic-Conns, people sharing their comic book ideas with you and not being interested in your comic books, but wanting to pitch you. Yeah, because related things. Overall, Jordan, I think the audience probably has the impression that you are a genial, and easy to get along with guy. Yeah, it's true for the most part. And I'm going to be frank.

That's the case. I've known you 25 years that entire time. You've been one of the most genial and easy to get along with guys I've ever known. Nice of you to say. However, there's a boiling rage deep inside you. That drives the train forward, Casey Jones style. Yes, toot, toot, coming down the track. Yeah.

So, like, this happens, you know, I shake the hands. We chat for a little bit. And then I just, I go off into the night screaming on the inside. Why? Why wouldn't you just? And I get, hey, I get it. There's podcasts. I don't listen to anymore.

You know, there's stuff. It falls off the role. It gets replaced. I mean, what with all the great content? The guys from smartless are turning out. I don't know how anybody gets to this show. I mean, what's incredible about the smartless guys and a lot of these other celebrities making podcasts.

It's like they don't know anything. No. And that's what makes it so cool and relatable, because I don't know anything and they don't know anything. We're both fucking dumb fucks. And they're rich, so I could, I'm basically their best friend. Just say nothing of all the good hangs we could be listening to.

Sponsored by Walmart. She seems like a nice woman. Sponsored by Walmart. Wish you're the best. We wish everyone the best, including our friends at Walmart. And the folks at Smartless. Yes. I don't even remember which ones those are.

So yeah. It's one of the two and a half men, maybe, I couldn't tell you. Dharma or Greg, I think. Uh-huh. It's either Dharma or Greg. Uh-huh. Anyway, so I, and I realized, like, the people who are saying this, they aren't, they're not trying to wound for them.

I mean, maybe they're like weird dicks or something, but, like, probably they're just nice people. This is actually the case. If they wanted to wound, there's subredits for that. Sure. yes they got into you know they got super into blank check or something and the podcast just kind of fell off I get it I like I like blank check it's probably blank check too but I I realize I'm carrying this around it's hurting me and I think my half you know we're about halfway through the year here

month four that's about half half year new year's resolution I'm gonna let this go I'm gonna take this with good humor with the spirit in which it was intended I'm gonna be nice I'm not, and I'm, and I will carry this over. I'm going to listen when those damp men want to tell me about their comic book ideas. I'm going to listen, I'm going to nod, and I'm going to tell them to follow their dreams. Can I pitch you a show for Max Fun? Sure. You started Max Fun, right?

Well, Jesse, you always work in podcasting, right? Yeah, okay, yeah, what are you, not really the case? Sure, go ahead. Yeah, that's all. Yeah, that happens to be a lot, too. People pitch me podcasts for Max Fun, and I say, It sounds nice. Talk to Laura Swisher.

I just want to say this. Yeah. Is this my camera? Is this my camera? Yeah. This is my camera. This one's my camera. Which one's my camera?

Which one's my camera? This one's my camera. This one's my. I like Jordan better too. Yeah. I also like Jordan better. Yeah. I also like.

Gun to your head. If you had to pick one of us. He's more talented than I am. That's why I picked him when we were 19 and 18. Because of how good he was. Jesse, are you going to join me here? here in this back half of the year, back three quarters of the year,

and trying to let this stuff roll off your back, duck water style. You don't have to. Well, I've been a fan since the Sound of Young America days, Jordan. Oh, wow, okay. I used to listen when it was the Sound of Young America. Oh, my gosh. It usually reveals itself slowly over time. It doesn't usually start with I used to be a big fan.

They'll say, I've been listening since. the Sound of Young America days. Oh, okay. You're not called the Sound of Young America anymore, is it? Then you got you. Gotcha. Nope. Hadn't been called that for 10 years or something.

Maybe 15. Maybe 15. So, yeah, this is the purge. It's purged. I feel like we've, it's as though we've undergone an emotional amesis. And all those bad vibes are just. just lying in a pool at our feet for us to slip upon once we stand. Yes.

I think I could muster a good attitude. I mean, in general, in general, if someone recognizes us on the street, I mean, it's not like we're in a bunch of TV commercials that are imposing themselves on. No. To be clear. We'd be thrilled to impose ourselves. That'd be great. You want to put us in a TV commercial? Boone, a TV commercial for something bad.

Sure. Give us a call, Drafts, Kings. If it's good enough for LeBron, it's good enough for me. Does Flo need another friend? You know how Flo has all those friends now? I can be a friend of Flo. I have a question about Flo's friends. Yes, I don't know that I can answer.

Okay. Do you feel like they're trying to establish a line of succession? Oh, like if Flo, God forbid, something would have happened to Flo, does like one of those, does like Natalie Palmitas slip in? That's what I'm wondering is. Is it a House of the Dragon kind of power vacuum? I do feel like, or, and I also feel, feel like the more friends they add for flow, the more to me it feels like a threat to flow.

Right. Like they're like, all right, so and so. You don't have any leverage on us now. We go to any of these eight friends and they could tell people the advantages of our car insurance. Should we introduce our guests and find out what he has to say about Flo's friends? Yeah, I'm really enjoying our guest on this program has decided to sit with one inch of his butt on the sofa and with the microphone at forehead height as he oh he's relaxing he's relaxed he's he's he's he's behaving almost in a almost human-like manner he's one of the stars of television's fallout where he plays a zombie guy john daily hi i take things hard too i yeah yeah things hit hard

let's hear about it and i don't know like yeah but people really because i've done it to people. Who have you done it to? Well, I went to, what is his name? Wolfgang Puck, his restaurant one time. And you said I really like the, I really liked the 80s. Hey, you were great way back in the day. He's Spago, right?

That is, I believe. Yeah, and California Pizza Kitchen. Right, right. Okay. I went to Spago and he was weirdly there. He was there when I went to Spago. Yeah, maybe he just goes there. Did you go?

Okay, let me ask you about you, going to. to Spago. Okay. Spago, legendary Hollywood restaurant that was the spot in the 1980s. Right.

Did you go there because you had a meeting at an agency, you're never in Beverly Hills, you were tired from meeting at an agency, and it's so exhausting to go there and like,

you got to like wait in a lobby for an hour and then be told why they don't actually care about you and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you were like, fuck it, I'm taking myself to Spago.

Oh, wow, did you? Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah, no. My wife and I went there, just to be like, this will be funny kind of thing. And let's see. You ain't with Kurt and Goldie? I did.

Yeah, Kurt and Goldie. There were a lot of agents or just like. Mike Ovitz invited you. Yeah, it was Mike Ovitz. And he was on the outs. He was bombed. Ovid's on the outs. Trying to get him pepped up with some anchovy foam or whatever.

That's them foaming some anchovies onto him. I had seen Wolfgang Puck on. Top Chef. He was on Top Chef, like the night before, like very recently. And we were like, oh, we heard he was on Top Chef. We have reservations to Spago tomorrow. Let's go. Let's watch this Top Chef. And he was on Top Chef and he was very clearly drunk and is a very funny person. He's just funny, you know, like, gregarious. And he was being funny on Top Chef and I was like, this guy is so drunk or whatever. And he was coming around to tables of mostly like 60 year old like homunculus is with like small actresses. And, um,

just horrible, like, you know, just, just weird, weird, like, 80s people. And when I was there, there were, like, uh, some guys dressed like Arab shakes from like a, from like true lies or another racist movie from 1990 who are like surrounded by enormous men with guns. With guns. Yes. Wow. Like, you know, you could tell they had like, you know, with like one hand inside the

their jacket kind of thing standing behind the table. I was like, what is this? How have I entered like a side plot of rising sun or something? It's true lies over here. It's Wall Street over here. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So he started coming around, Wolfgang started coming around to every table.

And I was like, I just stopped thinking about it after a while. I was like, for whatever reason. I was like, he's not going to come here. And then he came was instantly right behind us. And I looked up and he goes, how are you enjoying it? everything. And I said, oh my God, so funny on TV. Oh, so funny. So funny on TV is what I said. And he went, okay, okay. And he clearly did not, I mean, the wrong compliment. So it's like the wrong compliment. I say it. And I was genuinely excited like, dude, you're so fucking funny,

man. John Daly. It could be argued that you are complimenting him on the single most important thing in your value system. Exactly. You've dedicated your life. You've dedicated your life to funny on TV. Right. I don't care about food. That's your life's work. I mean, I do care about food, but like not, you know,

number three. Yeah, it's fine. I mean, if I saw you on the street, and we've run into each other on the street a couple times. I would say so funny on TV. Yeah, and that would be great. John Dilley, you're wearing a t-shirt right now that says, God, family, funny on TV.

Yeah, that's it. Live, laugh, funny on TV. on TV. A little funny on TV laugh. But Wolfgang Park he wants you to say oh what a barbecue pizza. Yeah, oh God, this is fantastic. Barbecue pizza's got a little piece of red

on the end. CPK has just gotten better and better. What a private equity guy bought you guys out. They really know food. This is really beautiful. Really scaled well. Yeah. It's scaled well. Broccoli, pineapple. This is wonderful. Give me more.

Yeah. Suck it, cuckaroo. Yeah. We all need to be Buddhist. I think that's the best religion for this kind of thing. I agree. Yeah. Esoteric Buddhism. That's, yeah, you just got like let it go. Be water, ducks back. Mm-hmm. And yeah, what else?

Funny? TV. Funny on TV. Water, ducks back, funny TV. When someone comes up to you, do you kind of know what it's going to be? Like, I imagine maybe Fallouts change that a little bit. It depends. Yeah, I mean, project by project, they'll kind of like different fans, and

you kind of know who they are by what they recognize. eyes and stuff. And and then some people say a lot, I get a lot, uh, my name's John Daly, like the golfer. Okay. And then that's, is it like the golfer? No, well, it's J-O-H-N. The golfer is J-O-H-N. I'm J-O-N. So it's slightly different. But maybe I should have changed my name. I'm kind of like,

maybe I should have gone by like, you know, John Dimsdale or something like that. I changed it a little bit just to like avoid that. I want to hear more about this John Dimsdale character. Yeah, I know. Fascinating. Yeah, right? Maybe it could have been a good mystery. You know what? Whenever I run into the golfer, John Daly, I always like, like John Daly, the comic actor?

Yeah, yeah. Well, that's good. He deserves that. And be like, I hate that guy. Yeah. I hate that guy. I hated Kroll Show. Yeah, I don't know.

I like, Krall Show, man. Is John Daly the golfer, the drunk one with funny pants? He is. He has his own line of pants. It's like John Daly pants. Uh-huh. And I... It's a good name for it.

You got to admit. Yeah. I did a adult swim special where I played John Daly and Adam Scott plays the golfer Adam Scott. And it's called the Adult Swim Golf Classic. And yeah, check that out on YouTube. You get any feedback from the golf community? No, you know, I wanted feedback from golfers really like it. And we had some like legitimate golf announcers do it.

And everyone knows them. Right there on adult swim. Right, right. Nudity and everything. Nudity? When the golf announcers were doing it. Oh, I'm confused, but no. I don't think you can have nudity on adult swim.

No, that's adult swim. So were they just doing over the clothes stuff? No, I think you're confusing adult swim. With like adult entertainment. I think adult entertainment. Oh, okay. Right. Oh, were the golf announcers, by doing it, you mean announcing?

Yes, and this reminds me, I'm team Jesse. Yeah. I like Jesse better. Okay, thank you. So. Hey, I get it, man. Yeah, I mean, you're great. Yeah.

Yeah. At the end of the day, you're not saying I'm not great. Is that what you guys want? At the end of the day, listen to our show and decide on a favorite. That's why we make the show for you to decide who you like better. Well, what's the ultimate thing to say to you guys in regard to this show? In regard to this show. What's the best possible thing? Like, what's the ultimate, hey.

That's a good question. I think for me, and in general, you know, I think everybody needs something a little different, right? all have, you know, we all have a little piece of our brain that's wrong or that needs something or that's not there. I think I just want to hear that like, hey, I like the thing and it's funny. I'm always, like, I'm fine with funny. Like, I'm flattered by it. I think I always, you know. Funny on podcast. Funny on podcast. Yeah. Yeah. So I think I'll, I'll take that and like, like, something, you know, and then there's like the personal stuff. There's like, you know, oh, hey, it got me through a tough time. Like, that's, that can be nice, but then sometimes it goes to like,

it got me through a tough time, and here's all about it. Yeah. And then I'm like, this is now too much responsibility. Yeah. Yeah. So for me, I don't really care about being told I'm funny. I'm pretty secure in my own, you know. Yeah.

Just don't come to me empty handed. So 20 bucks, 50 bucks, 100 bucks, whatever it is. All right. If you hit me up, just like a mater D, I'm going to treat you better. Give me 20 bucks up front. Yeah. You're going to get a good seat in the restaurant. You know what I mean? And they can say whatever they want to you after that. You're going to talk to Wolfie. You're all right. You're going to talk to Wolfie if you give me the 20 bucks. Yeah, okay. I'm going to put you in gang's seat. Yeah, yeah. That's what we call it. We call them gang. Cash, right? You're like a cash guy. Cash is king. Yeah. Cash is kidding. Yes. No, I mean, the answer to this, John Daly is simply to say, like, if you like Jordan Dessie Go and you see us on the street, we're very grateful. I know, I'm very grateful. Of course. It's nice. I, I, I, I, it's nice.

We are recognized, I mean, outside of that time the other night when you got recognized on both sides of that pedestrian arcade, which was pretty incredible. I know, I get recognized once a month. Right. If you come up to me and say, hey, are you Jesse Thorne? Yeah. I'll say, yes, I am. And you can say, I love listening to Jordan Jesse Go. I love that.

I'll say, thank you very much. This is a nice interaction. I like that. I am grateful that you like my show because not that many people do. So I'm grateful when someone does. You have to say, tell everyone. Tell, please. Tell the word.

And then 20 bucks. That's what I say. Or if you want to give me flowers or a thoughtful gift, like flowers. Right. I love flowers. Right. Give me something with a strong scent. Right.

Yeah. That's good. Not just daisies. I like that. Don't just go and just say like what's the biggest arrangement I could get. Like get something premium. Wildflowers. I want to know that you drove to the super bloom and turned around.

Yes. You picked all the flowers. Fresh from the super bloom. Now that you mention it, I think just overall, anything that you've scavenged? Yeah. Or what do you call that when you wander through the woods looking for mushrooms? Forage. Forage.

Anything scavenged or forage. Yeah. So if you have metal that you found in the garbage that I can take to the recycling place, that's great. Copper, preferably. Oh, yeah. And if you have mushrooms that you're real confident ain't poisonous. Yeah. I don't want to get poisoned by a fan.

That's not what I'm looking for. You know what? I'll take a little kiss. Yeah. I'll take a little kiss. Should people check in first or should people check in first? No, no, this is me offering my consent. Just give me a little kiss.

For anyone? Oh, yeah. Okay, wow, okay, yeah. Even a real pretty boy? Oh, yeah. Can I kiss you? Yeah. You don't even want that.

You don't want, can I kiss you? Just say, hey, and then lean in. Yeah. Yeah, just a little one. Okay. That's not real. Don't do that. Don't do that.

In fact, don't approach me. Yeah. It is, it is genuinely, I don't, I don't want to come off as too, like, ah, you know, but like, it is It's gratifying. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. Yeah, we would not have gone into the field of entertainment if we did not want people to like us. It's like somebody applauding you.

Yeah. Yeah, it's an applause. And if you don't like our work, it's okay to pretend that you're unfamiliar with it. Yeah. I would argue. Yeah. I'm not sure, yeah. Yeah.

Just be cool about it. Here's a weird move I've gotten a couple times. recently, someone's like, oh, hey, I like this thing. Here's someone you work with I don't like. Yes. I've gotten that. Yeah. I don't like that. Why? Why do you assume I probably like this person? Right. I probably work with him. We work together. We're friends. That one where you have to rank everyone. Yeah. That's the one that gets me. There's a certain built-in tragedy to my career as a former Wunderkeemd, which is, you know, once upon a time, I was podcast. when there were four podcasts.

This was before I was Zoom podcasting with Jordan. You know, two years probably before I started broadcasting with Jordan. And so, like, to some extent, that promise, having now fizzled out, is a tragic tale that is inherent to the course of my career. Okay. Like, at the end of the day, had I continued ascending steadily, I would be like unto a god today, career-wise, when instead, you know, it was, it's, It's been fine.

Is this what a cell phone is? Yeah. I feel like you're owning yourself. So there's an unforced error. But you don't have to say this. I'm not that. I think you're doing well. We do, John.

We do have to say it. No, you don't have to say this. I'm not that bothered by that. So if you're like, if somebody says podcast pioneered, like, I'm in the podcasting Hall of Fame. Yeah. It's not because I'm top 20 right now. Yeah.

You know what I mean? But if somebody came up to you and said, hey, podcast pioneer. You inspired me to start a podcast. Even if you don't listen now, look, that's great. Right. You know, way to go. You lent the equipment to Marin. What I don't.

He lent the equipment to Marin. You got you that you gave it to Marin. Yeah, I suggested some equipment. You suggested some likes. You filled his garage with cats, right? Yes. You found cats, filled the garage. I just, I think the one that gets me is the ranking.

I don't want to hear which guy you like better than which other guy. Oh. I don't want you to. You don't need to do that when I'm there or otherwise. Yeah. Jordan and I are friends of 25 years. We've been working together by choice that whole time. We're cool with each other.

We like working with each other and think the other one is good and talented. Yes. Even if we're mad at each other, we think that. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so to hear like, and this goes for also like, I don't want to know who your favorite McElroy brother is. Why? They're all my friend. Right. Yeah. I like them all. Rory McElroy? Yeah, Rory McElroy, the golf. Oh, okay. I had a, I was a golfer for everybody now, isn't there?

I had a pre-calculus teacher in high school, and I started doing the plays, and it was like the first play I'd starred in junior year. I was really excited. I was getting dapped up all over the place in my high school. I was a big star. What was the play? It was the crucible. I played John Prox. That's a juicy role. Very difficult role. No child should play. It is not a thing. Isn't there some school plays you're like, why are you making kids do this?

It is so difficult. Even the memorization alone is very hard. The answer is just that there's a lot of characters in it. The answer is always that there's a lot. Like, why do all schools do Our Town? Because there's 18 speaking parts. Yeah, yeah. That's true.

That is true. Regular plays, they want to have as few characters as possible because every one of them they have to pay. Right. Yeah. So it's a real tension between school theatricals and professional theatricals. These playwrights are out here

trying to write three-person plays. Yeah. And these schools are like, could you add 17 characters to this? Whatever gets you in the French, Sam French. Oh, you got to get in the French. You got to get in Sammy French.

Then people have to call the government to do your play. Hi, Sammy Frenchies. Are you set for life? Yeah. So yeah, okay. So you're playing, you're playing up all over. So I'm feeling myself. This is pretty huge for me. I'm going down the

hallways. You know, like guys are like, yeah, man, good job. And wow. They're like, isn't that, isn't that John Daly? He used to be the guy that pissed his pants all the time. Yeah, yeah. But now he's the big star. Yeah. Now he's the best. He's not a nerd anymore. My pre-calculus teacher said, John, he like, in front of the whole class, he just goes, John, I saw you in the play. and I didn't know that you had a knack for mugging and play, play acting and such. And make-believe. Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, make-believe, basically. Just like play, play-play acting, you know, mugging. It's just like so insulting. But he was sincere too. He was sincere too. He was just, you know, an interesting gentleman. Sure. It's a weird high school math teacher.

Trying to give you a compliment. Yeah. I'm sure you were great. That was weird. I mean, to be fair, fast forward to 2026, John Daly, funny on TV. Funny on TV. Funny on TV. That's me.

And hopefully dramatic, too. What were your other high school plays? Oh, man. West Side Story. Once on this island. Very problematic to do it. My high school also did once on this island. Really?

This island. Wow. Yeah. Everyone is like, this is said in the Caribbean. Yes. And let's just say that, you know. Hey, man.

Hey, man. And we did the accent. Yeah. And we did the accent. Yeah. And we did the accent too. Yeah. It was pretty problematic.

Sure. And then I did the mouse trap. I mean, West Side stories. Not. Not problem. How many Puerto Ricans did you have at your high school, John Dale? Right. But it was like extremely mixed.

Right. So there were, the jets were very. very mixed and then the sharks were very so it really it really was a like when you watched it you were kind of like oh this is just a heartwarming high school musical once on this island no it was accents it was very bad yeah but yeah the sharks should not be anything but probably Puerto Rican right they sing i mean the thing of it is that like they there's a lot of stuff about being Puerto Rican in it yeah every Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken you don't want to say that

if they're every race. You want to specific, oh wait, no, that's, that's not. Yeah, you want to make sure that that's targeted towards Puerto Ricans. Puerto Ricans, yeah, exactly. And anytime you're joking about Puerto Ricans at the, at the inauguration for the president. Sure, that was great.

That was huge, yeah, that's great. But you want to make sure it's about them. I'm taking myself a hole. Remember when that guy said, another cell phone? I don't remember what that guy's name is. That killed Tony Hitchcliff, by believe. Was it Tony from Kill Tony? I think it was.

It is. Okay. Okay. So I thought it was just a Kill Tony. I didn't know it was the Kill Tony. Oh, man. This is the one. Remember when that guy, like, he had told an awful joke about Puerto Rico.

Yes. It was, you know, basically the only punchline was Puerto Rico sucks so much. Right. And then afterwards, he's like, well, I don't know what they expected. That's like my thing. They're like, well, I don't know. Like being mad at Gets. Gallagher for smashing a watermelon.

Why did you call me? At the inauguration. Yeah. It is his thing. You guys want to take a little break, smash a couple of melons, and then come back for some more? Let's do it. But before that, I just want to congratulate you guys on this, which I assume is a huge award. Yes.

We have a giant chrome microphone that I bought at a garage sale. Yes. Here on the thing. And thank you so much. It was a great garage sale. I really felt like I got over. I think I gave somebody 20 bucks for that. 20 bucks?

What do you think it's worth now? I mean, if you had to buy it in a... Are we talking about an... Antiques Road Show. Okay, right. But are we talking about an insurance appraisal, an auction value? How much would you insure it for? I think I would insure that for $80.

Yeah. You know, antique's right? Blinling? If it was less, it would go, bha-oh-w? Wait, so we're updating a previous appraisal? Is that what you're telling me? Yeah, this is from another year.

God. And I bought this a while ago, and, you know, here he's back. So it's a rerun. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jesse Go. It's Jordan Jesse Go. I am Jesse Thorne, America's Radio Sweetheart. Jordan Morris, boy detective. You know, every episode of Jordan Jesse Go

Besides Jordan, I saw a picture that say you're the number two comic book artists in the entire country. The writer, yes. As of this recording, according to certain metrics on certain websites, I am the number two bestselling. Web of Venom.

Let the Carnage Begin. Let the carnage begin. Not the actual subtitle, but fun to say after the title of Web of Venom. Yeah, you can go out and grab it. I think we're going into a second printing. So if your comic book store is sold out, make sure you get that second print. Should people get the variant covers as well? All the variants.

When I was in the comic book store, I got a choice between a couple variant covers. There's some beautiful variants. I think that's part of why it's so popular. I don't think it's my writing specifically that's propelled it to number two. Whoa, the guy in the comic bookstore warned me against the writing. But he said if you're into variant. Don't read this. Don't open this. Just enjoy the cover.

But you've been traveling the nation's article. and comic books. That's true. And if you want to see me at a prestigious book festival, boy, howdy, I got a treat for you. I'm going to be at the L.A. Times Festival of Books. Oh, that's a great festival of books. It's a wonderful festival of books. I have attended it many times as a fan. I went there one time I saw John Hodgman on a panel with Ted Turner and Ted Turner was out of his fucking mind. Well, I have unfortunately not paneling with Ted Turner. I wish I was. I do not remember what the subject of that panel was. I'm sure it was

John Hodgman and a guy who's out of his fucking mind I'm sure it was varied the topics I will be signing books

Jordan Morris Boy Detective I'm John Daley I nothing affects me And everything rolls off my back I'm quite I'm always a very zen So zen over there

What kind of zombie stuff ping pong balls and stuff you gotta wear on TV's Fallout. Ping pong balls. Oh, like, uh, CGI's? Yeah. CGI balls. On Fallout, I don't wear any ping pong balls. You wear a dance cup?

No dance cup. Though, um, yeah, there's no real danger, um, to your genitals. So it's just, while you're acting, it's just flopping around? It's flapping around. I have underwear on that is period. Um, futuristic. Today I was, today I was, apocalyptic underwear.

Yeah. Today I was walking to lunch. and you know how sometimes somebody is peeing in public? Yeah. Downtown L.A. Yeah. Right? It's a toilet.

Yeah. And like, but when they, when somebody's peeing in public, they like, they usually go in an alley against the wall of a bar. These are your classic peeing in public locations. Yeah. Yeah. And they're often, they're typically peeing at something, right? It's usually somebody with a weeness and they're usually peeing at something. Yeah.

I was about to cross. the street and a man who, I'm going to be frank, looked fully competent. Right. He looked like a guy who was just taking a walk, started peeing on the thing that holds up the stop sign. Oh. And I'm like, that's too narrow. Sure.

It's the wrong direction. You should be phasing away from the street in the people. Does this guy not know how to pee in public? I was really taken aback by it. Yeah. Hey, can I have a word? Yeah. Yeah.

Sir, can I offer you some notes? I've got some, yeah, I got some feedback for you. Okay, ping pong balls was the question. What do you got, what do you got to wear to be a zombie guy? This guy, Jesse, and he just taught me the way to do it. The show Fallout is about a bunch of zombie guys wandering around. Well, some of them are zombies, and then you got the vaulties. These guys avoided the radiation.

These guys went underneath, but you know what? They had their own drama down there. Yes, they had their own drama, which is rather funny down there. Yeah. But everyone's in hell. it's a bad world. And I don't have ping pong balls. I do, I'm in like two hours of makeup, two and a half hours, something like that.

So yeah, that's how they get me radiated like that. What are they putting on there for folks who haven't seen you? They're doing a base layer, certainly. And then usually some SPF on top of that. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Cat gut. Yeah. We say, let's take a walk.

Yeah, let's go. follow my lead, watch for the changes. And then it is a white kind of like a thing to make it white to make me look pale. And then like there's two permanent injuries that I have. That's called mining up. That, yeah, yeah. And then there's some veinage. There's some veins, like blue veins that they carefully paint these kind of three-dimensional

looking blue veins. And it's very good. Is there anything that they like full on a time? attach to you. They attach a thing in season two if you watch it to my neck that is embedded in my flesh and that is what makes it take a little bit longer, which is a box that controls my mind. Spoiler alert for all this, but it is a box that allows Kyle McLaughlin to control my mind. You know what? I don't need a box for Kyle McGlach. What he needs to do is show me those baby blues. I don't need a mind for Kyle to control

my box. Is that something to say? It is. You can say whatever. Okay, good. Okay, cool. Yeah. Anything's cool. That's all the podcast is. It's saying things. Great. Yeah, I would say things out loud. Yeah, okay, good, good. And then it goes and it lasts about, you know, 80, 90 minutes. And then it's over. Hey, Jennifer, are you recording the things we say? Did you remember to press? Yeah, was I not supposed to? Oh, you were. Great.

No, no. We got a podcast. We're saying whatever. Yeah. Great. Great. So we'll say whatever you record it and then we'll send it to people on the internet. Okay, that sounds like a good plan. Great. Thank you, Jennifer. That's cool. Also about your fallout character, you also have a little hat. I have a little hat. Yeah, the hat really is very jaunty. Like a little clown? It really is a great

hat. It's a bit of a clown hat. Like a poodle? More like a French clown or like a, you know, one of the clowns that swear. You know, or do something sexy maybe. All right. Like a beret? Like a French beret? Maybe a Cirque de Soleil kind of clown. Like a hobo. Like, oh, now you're controlling.

my box, baby. Yeah. But doctor, I am John Daly. Yeah. Wait, it's like a hobo hat. Does it goes, I mean, is it, it doesn't have like a thing that pops up? No, it doesn't sproy. I know you're going to say that.

It doesn't sproying. And you're like, listen, I get this all the time. Yeah. And there's no plant that comes up out of it. This is what John Daly does not want people to come up from me to ask him. Does your hat, your head on fall on? Does that sproying? Is that sproying?

I'm at Comic Con. It's just like, what that hat? No, is that sproying? And it's just, I, it's just, I, it's easy to deal. deal with that. And then they're like, well, you know, you know, in Fallout 76, the had sproings. There is that. So it's not canon in the series. Do you get people saying game lore stuff to you? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, it's, yeah, Fallout fans are incredible and incredibly deep. And, um, a lot of lore there, including my brother.

And, um, oh, wow. He'll be, you know, try and get spoilers for the next season and see if I'm eventually going to be this. And I just don't know. I'm a very need to know person on set. but, you know, I also don't want to really reveal what's going on. It's like being, it's like being in a Woody Allen movie and that you only get the pages that your dialogue is on. Right. And unlike being in a Woody Allen movie in the sense that you've made a good career choice. Right, right. Yeah, well, right now.

Yeah. Because that movie would be financed by Jeffrey. Are they handing the next season to Woody Allen? Woody Allen's going to be, yeah, he's going to be show running. And yeah, he'll be on set. He'll be on set. Yeah, I think he wants to direct. It's good.

But he's got the touch. He lets people just do what they want and then he just doesn't say anything. It's great. Yeah. He's married to his daughter. Her name is Sunni Previn. Interesting. I have that.

Yeah. That's interesting. His eyes seems to be migrating. Yeah, he's in bad shape. It's amazing that he's alive. It's amazing that he's alive. I don't think he feels anything of this Epstein thing. Like, I think he's just like, yeah, whatever.

I was trying to get money for my movies. He's just like, yeah, well, someone invited me to lunch still. Yeah, exactly, yeah. My friend had an island. Oh, yeah. You want me to go to me with some... My friend had an island. Yeah, yeah, my friend isn't, I'm not supposed to go to my friend's island?

Yeah. Stephen Hawking, same thing. Worst filmmaker. Yeah. But he's, you know, he'd be on that island. He did some good stuff. Stephen Hawking, I liked a few of his movies. Yeah.

A brief history of time. The first couple albums that were a little more like lo-fi, you know. Yeah. There's a sort of authenticity to it. Right. It's kind of a raw. Before they brought in Mutt Lang. Is that the guy's name, right?

Mutt-Lang? Yeah, I think that's like a 80s hitmaker Mutt-Lang. Yeah, Mutt-Lang. I liked his old Bob Rock stuff. Yeah. But when they added that robot voice, I was just like, it gets a little tired. It's all over the top.

Just because you have the technology doesn't mean you need use it. Yeah. But again, like separate the art from the artist. He's canceled, but I still love his stuff. You have to. You know. His shit is really amazing. I mean, like, I think a lot of times, actually, my wife and I walked down the aisle to my wife and I walked down to the aisle to as you approach the event horizon of the black hole, you are turned into spaghetti. Wow. But that was just your song. That was our song. And it's like you got to let go of the, you know, like, You've got to let go of the person that made it. That art exists on its own terms in our life as a special thing that we have sex to to this day.

Right. We had a string quartet played on violins. Yeah. Or whatever they use. Stringer in toothbrush pocket. Yeah. It was an interpretation. Yeah.

It was like Norwegian wood and then that. And then, yeah, some later Metallica. Sweet amber. Yeah. Some late be some posts, some kind of monster. Some kind of monster stuff. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you've always say my lifestyle determines my death style.

Exactly. Yeah. I've seen your tattoo. Yeah. You want to listen to some calls? Yeah, when something momentous happens to you, like you approach the event horizon of the black hole and you're turned into spaghetti. Yeah. Give us a call at 206-9844 Fun or just send us a voice memo at JJGo at maximum fun.org, as has this person. Hey, Jordan, Jesse, and I'm going to guess Erica ECHE.

this is Christian in Minneapolis just calling in a momentous occasion I was shopping at one of Jesse's favorite big box stores Costco and a I'm going to say 13 or 14 year old kid walked by and said dad and I looked over and as he got to this gentleman his dad hit him with the saw dude and in Minneapolis we don't hear that too much so I just thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, love you guys, bye. Wait, you hit him with a saw?

Sawd dude? I heard sawed dude. It was weird, right? Because he went, and then he hit him with a sawdud, dude. Yeah. Is that a thing? Is that a thing that he hit him with,

or did he say something that's a phrase? Saw, dude. Yes. You don't hear that a lot. I also, that's what, here's what my mind told me went on. Yeah. That is something that the kid said,

sod dude and that is like you know that's like a bussen or a six seven that hasn't that hasn't made it into a trend piece in the New York Times that we've read right that's just a new thing the kids are saying on I don't know discord right dude sod dude for chan yep for chan sod dude saw dude that guy he's not maybe living in reality that guy could be anywhere doing anything sure it's also possible that the that the dad hit the sun with this saw. Yes, this call is a lot less fun if that's actually what happened. That's sort of a dark timeline thing, but...

Or some sod? Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Costco, they do sell saws. Didn't we establish that if you're calling into Jordan Jesse go from Minneapolis, you're supposed to end the call by saying fuck ice go twins? I think so, yeah.

But I think they haven't heard that episode yet. But they should just know it in their bones, right? Again, as we mentioned at the top, we're banking some episodes. If you're calling from St. Paul or Minneapolis, you should be ending with... with fuck ice go twins. Okay. Go ice fuck twins. That I'm saying?

All right. Fuck twins. Fuck twins. Remember that? From the gullite or whatever? But light. Fuck twins. Go ice.

Go ice fuck twins. The guy who did that voiceover is unfortunately pro ice and that's really sad. Right. That is pretty sad. It's not a good organization. Not a good organization. You heard it here. So this is Jen.

I want to hear the next call, but I just want to give give Jen a little producer work to do while we're listening to the next call. Can you see what Costco carries in terms of sod and saws? Maybe that'll help us get to the bottom of what actually happens. Does Costco offer sod? I know that they have seed. Yeah. They've seed because I bought seed at Costco.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, I bought like a feeding fill. Okay. You know what I mean? That's like where you put it in the spots in your lawn where there's no grass. You got to rake it first or else it's going to be too packed. right, right, yeah. You got to rake it for a guy.

Airate it. I hate the air raid. Airate it, yep. They have aerate boots now. You can strap the air raid boots onto your shoes. Okay, that actually sounds pretty good. It's kind of fun. You walk around.

Kind of into that now. John, you do a lot of gardening? Sounds like you talk to talk. I guard it. My wife gardens. Okay. And I appreciate, I reap the benefits. You ever sawd bro?

Lettices. Ooh. Sod bro? We don't hear that a lot here in Minneapolis, so that was cool. Maybe it's like Sub bro Like sa bra Is there something going on

With that? I don't like that guy That kind of makes sense Sa bra Sa bra Yeah Sa bra But that's when

They're just when they're Talking about hummus Right Right Right So bra I think that guy Was deliberately

Trying to confuse us Bors head Boers head It's pretty good Yeah You tried it It's impressive It turns out

They're good It all kind of like Lunch Plate Foods Right Yeah Premium lunch plate Food

Yeah they got the connections to put it everywhere. Yeah. Isn't that... By the way, if you run into Jordan in the street,

you recognize him, you got the connections to put it everywhere. Oh, yeah. Oh, you can put it everywhere. Oh, yeah. This guy can put it anywhere. Oh, yeah.

You name a place? Yeah. And he can put it there. Put your finger in Jordan's holes. That's why they call me old boar's head. It's because you can put it anywhere. Stick your finger in there,

bring it out. Oh, hummus. Oh, hummus. Oh, boy. Sawd bra Saad bra Oh man Sawd bra

Hey Jennifer Are you recording this Please turn it off I wasn't recording this Uh oh Oh no No Ha ha ha jk I was

Sawbara Saw dude I could not find Saad at Costco On the website For the other like gardening supplies I also am not 100% sure what sod is

But that's okay They have artificial On whatever Artificial sod Dude. Nice. Yep, that's it. That's it. It's odd, dude.

And they have power tools. They've got a chainsaw, but I couldn't find, like, a normal hand saw. That's crazy. What is a chainsaw caught? What's they going to set us back? You have to weigh a pack of them, too. Is it, like, three? Yeah, we sell them in bulk.

Three different sizes. Palate of chainsaws. There's one that's 79.99. It's a mini chainsaw. It's a mini chainsaw. It's a mini chain saw. It's a mini chain saw. Oh, mini for little.

branches, you don't want that. That's probably for killing little dads. For a pickup sticks. Yeah, for killing Well, the mini-chain saws if your kid is mouting off in Costco. Right. Yeah, you could dual wheel mini chainsaws and do some damage. That would be cool. Yeah, next Texas chainsaw a mask or take no little sauce. That'd be cool. Now who's into fallout lore?

Yeah, man. Is that lore? Yeah, sure. Dual-wielding two minisauceauce? Yeah, definitely. Why not? Maybe we should tell Woody to write that in the next season. You dual wielding two shiny chains on. It's more of a comedy. It turns into a drama. Yeah. It's kind of, yeah.

It's a bit... Turns out they're talking to the Russian philosophers. Yes, Russian philosophers. Scott Alan Alda. One of the mid period. Manhattan murder mystery. How the disgusting have fallen. Should we play another call?

Yeah, Jen, we got another call there. Yeah, we have another call. If it helps, obviously you can cut this, But if it helps, I did look up Minneapolis Sawdood to see what came up. And it gave me results for S-Dood, S-U-H, which there's like TikToks and other videos about it. So I do think it might be some kind of... S-U-DUDD-D. Can you...

And maybe this didn't come up in your research. Can you, like, use that in a sentence? Like, how would you use S-D-D-D-D-D-I-I-D? I think it's a greeting. Let's go... Yeah, there's something suggested searches, who are the S-D-D-G-Gyes. These are guys. Oh, boy.

I don't know. This is a topic for another show, maybe. So it's a greeting. What about this? This guy's got a pronunciation problem. This seems like something that those children with their own podcast would say. I was going to guess, I was going to say. Or the podcast nuns?

Yeah. Is this related to the Costco guys? Is this something the Rizzler says? Oh, yeah. I don't think the Rizler. The Rizler does his move. You guys, the Rizler does the Rizler. He puts the Riz on things.

Also, the Costco guys, I think, co-opted the Rizler. The Rizler had his own. thing going. Yeah, he was his own thing. And then the Costco guys were like, hey, we could get this kid. Yeah. Do some videos. Was he legally adopted? He was legally adopted by the guy that's like got the weird

eye job. Yeah, there's the dad of the Costco guys. Really upsetting dad. I think when you learn that the Rizzler is not his kid, that makes the whole thing a little more concerning. Right, right. Whose kid is his kid? I don't know. I've not seen the Rizzler's dad. He's literally the one

that's not the Rizler. His name is Big A.J. And he's not as charismatic as the risk. I've only seen... Sorry, Big A. I've only seen the Rizzler like visit the Mets game. I haven't seen the Rizzler do any of his standard Rizzling on social media. Well, he just, there's a funny video where he has a new hat on the store and he's just going like this.

He's just tipping his hat. Yeah. Does he ever make any sproying vids? I don't know if he's sproings, but that'd be funny that he could. That'd be fun greeting. Sproying bro. Sproying bro. Saw, bro.

Saw, bro. The Rizzler soon is going to be a grown-up and it's going to be weird. Yeah. I wonder if they'll have opinions on things. Yeah. I wonder if they'll be good. I bet they will be. Because child stardom is good, especially when it's like a kind of like a low rent stardom.

Yeah. You know how that you guys know that the Pope has a brother? Yeah, the Pope has, from what I understand, kind of a scumbag brother who's super weirdly maga, right? Wow, really? Yeah, like a Roger Clinton. Cut, yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Wow, that's spicy. Yeah. Maybe Trump should get his older brother, recruit his older brother

to kind of... And make him like Secretary of Agriculture or something. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Secretary of Catholicism. This is our Pope. Something he might do. I don't want to give him to any of it. We got a new Pope over here, Mr. Frank Stallone. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Play his famous key tar. Oh, man.

We got another call in there, Jim? Hey, Jordan and Jesse, another Jordan, and honored guest. This is Lucinda in Seattle. And a couple years ago, I kind of changed my life completely and quit my tech job and started working as a certified nursing assistant. And now I'm in my second quarter of nursing school. And one of the classes we're taking is behavioral health. And we just had our first exam. And before that, I was studying with some of my classmates.

And we were all a little loopy. It just been a long day. And we had this test. And part of the material we were reviewing was approaches to psychotherapy. And coming up in that was our friend CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy. And as I said, I was a little loopy. And I was like, ah, ha, ha, we know what all CBT stands for. And like someone chuckled and someone else was like, wait, what does it stand for?

And I broke the news to them that it also stood for cock and ball torture, which I learned from y'all. And someone came and yelled at us because we were being too loud because this inspired a reaction. And people asked you, oh, how did you know about this? And I just was like, oh, don't know. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. But I think everyone learned at least one thing in that study session. And also, I fucking crush the exam.

Love y'all. Goodbye. Love you too, Lucinda. Here's my concern with Lucinda's call. Great name. First of all, one hundred, full agree. Lucinda. Lucinda.

Great. Car tracks on a gravel road. Lucinda. What's that record's call, I think? Okay. Here's my concern. I have a concern, too. Let's share yours first.

What does it take to get someone to tell someone else about Jordan and Jessica? That was my concern, too? What are we got to do over here? A whole group of people laughing, yucking it up. Where'd you hear that? Well, you guys have a, you like podcast? It's so easy. It's right there.

She probably told him she heard it on smart list. Probably. They're always saying smartless. Yeah, Kiltony, one of those. Sure's Kill Tony. You could hang. Yeah. These Kill Tony people, they don't have.

many hesitants to tell everybody about kill Tony. I know. That's all they do is it won't shut the fuck up about kill Tony. We could be speaking at the RNC. Yeah, it's our, it's our monoculture. That is, our uniculture is guilt. It was Game of Thrones and now it's Kill Tony. Right.

Yeah. It is what is happening. Yeah. were laughing about that and one of the residents came by or something like that. I think so, yes. They, uh, they, they were having a, it sounds like they were in a library or something. Or she, you're yucking it up in the library. That sounds like something from the pit. That might be, that could happen on the pit. Do you think that was happening on the pit? Maybe that was happening on the pit and she's trying to punk us by saying, like, seeing if we watch

the pit. Oh, yeah. I don't watch the pit. Sometimes I don't watch the pit, but sometimes I'm like, you watch two pits. You watch two pits? Two pits. That has not happened yet. Yeah. Maybe it happens in, you know, like hour six, hour seven. They're kind of divide it up. I've watched a few peach pits. Oh, yeah? I've watched a few pits. I got a, yeah, I got an avocado and a bread.

Nice. Okay. No, no, don't make this up, in the motion. Sproying. Sproying. Sond, bro. Call this guy Zazu because he's the pits.

Sprying. Sproying. Oh, boy. Yeah, let's get that, let's disseminate that to the young people. This is our gift to you. You can start sproying in now on TikTok. Sproying,

I got a question for you guys. It's good. How were you in school with group studying? Group studying? Yeah, because it sounds like Lucinda was group studying with her fellow nurse candidates. Right. They're probably working on their approaches to psychotherapy there. Right. My school was very like academically inclined and nobody group studied. It was very like individual. Your university? No, my high school. I went to, uh, uh, acting school. So I didn't really, there was no studying. It was just wearing black clothing. Right. And pretending you're a cheetah, mainly. And I got an A, baby. But my high school was like, well, not everybody can put their front legs behind their back legs while they're running. That's how you can tell that you're a real cheetah.

Yeah. One weird thing about cheetahs. Yeah. Mostly dog. Not a cat. Even though they look like cats, they are mostly, their DNA is genetically. Almost 100% dog. What's the, what's the ratio? 75, well, you said almost 1973. Yeah, and yeah, 973 FM.

973, the Cheetah? Yeah, the Cheetah. Oh, man. Sprung! Oh, man, sprung indeed. So there was not a lot of group studying going on in your high school? No, not a lot of group studying.

It was like very, it was very like, it was cool to get good grades, but it was like very individual, like, you know, was there group studying and in your school? Where did you guys go to college? We went to the University of California at Santa Cruz. Oh, wow. Cool school.

That's cool. Oh, yeah. Kick flips. I don't know what. Are you guys? You're San Francisco, right? I'm a San Francisco. And Jordan's from Orange County.

Oh, wow. I didn't know that. You guys have an East Coast. You could be from the East Coast. But you know what? I wish they all could be California, dude. Oh, yeah. That's true.

Am I agree? Yeah. Yeah. It's always nice to hear that I have an East Coast vibe. Yeah. That is always nice to hear, but no, I've never even been. I have been to the East Coast. Santa Cruz, that's, there's a lot of hot, like, maga.

Like, hot dads and moms that surf and mountain bike and they don't vaccinate their kids kind of thing. That's the feeling? I think Santa Cruz had a problem with vaccination stuff, which is disappointing. I think it's that, like, wellness pipeline. line that happens. There's this American life about it. Right. People start having excessively natural childbirths. Right. Yeah, yeah. Right. Too natural. But yeah, I think it's maybe a little, yeah, I don't, hot. Hmm, maybe I think you probably do have a lot of, like, sunburnt people who do a lot of hiking, so they're in good shape. You might be thinking more of a Santa Barbara. Oh, really? I feel like Santa Barbara would be more of a hot.

Yeah, that's a more tradition. I'm not saying there's a lot of grandmas and grandpas in Santa Barbara, now that I think about it. That's true. Yeah. I think there's probably more grandmas and grandpas in Santa Barbara than Santa Cruz. You're probably right about that. I went to Santa Cruz one time, and I was with my then-girlfriend,

and we had borrowed our friends Mazda Miata, which is a very, very fun car to drive the one up to Santa Cruz. We, a couple weeks ago had on Eliza Skinner Miata owner and enthusiast. So we know all about the pep in fun of the Miata. Oh, yeah. They got some pickup. Yeah. But we got to Santa Cruz, and the first thing that happened was an unhoused man came up to us and said, hey, guys, can you drive me up to the woods?

I got two backpacks buried up there. I'll pay you in weed. Wow. He wanted us to come up there and help him unburied his backpacks, which are in the woods buried, and pay us in weed. You know, I feel like I experienced that a lot in Santa Cruz. Like someone who needs help getting something or like moving something or transporting something. Yes. And the beauty of the Miata to Cedar.

Yeah. You can't take that guy. We'd love to come up with you. Yeah. No way, sir. To the woods. Yeah. Yeah.

We would love to do this. It's a trunk, baby. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, sproying. You said, tell me where the backpacks are. You murdered him and simple plan that shit. Oh, yeah.

The backpacks were full of dead bodies, and so it was on us. I tell this story every other year for the past 17 years that we've been doing, Jordan Jesse Go. But one of my fondest Santa Cruz memories is our college friend, Tyler, used to drive a Lincoln Town car that was his dad had drip painted in southwestern colors. Hell yeah. Like it was like Matt Tan with like turquoise. Boy's paint splatters on it.

I'm liking that dad. Yeah. And yeah, it was really, really something else that dad. And Tyler would always pick up hitchhikers no matter what. Any hitchhiker, he would always pick them up. It's a little more normalized up there. There's a little bit of a hitchhiking culture. I like that.

I mean, I think I did it. You know, you can do it from town to the campus. Yeah, there's sort of like one route where the bus would go from campus to downtown. And like that was a route that like students would be driving. And if you were waiting at the bus stop, you might stick out your thumb and somebody picks you up before the bus gets there. You know what I mean? That kind of thing.

Not that crazy. But one day we had a full car, Tyler, like a full car, like five people in the car, six people in the car or something. Tyler still pulled over to pick up a hitchhiker. So now everybody's sitting on each other's laps, this guy. And it's just real silent. We ride about a block and a half, two blocks, total silence. and then they hitchhiker goes,

so do you guys pull fat bongrips? Wow. Just to make conversation. Just make a conversation. That's pretty Santa Cruz. That's Santa Cruz as hell. You guys pull fat bong rips, he said. Wow.

Not so fat anymore, but yeah, do you have any bong rips for us? Yeah, you guys pull any fat bong rips? I just hitchhiked for the first time in my life. He didn't say you guys blazed trees or something. No. You guys pull fat bong rips? Yeah, I don't do joints. Where did you, where did you hitchhike for?

hitchhiked. I hitchhiked in New Zealand. It's very common there. And my wife and I were doing a giant hike called the Tongariro Pass. And it was very long. It was a 12-hour kind of journey. And we didn't think we were, I think, we didn't think we were going to do the whole thing. We thought we were going to turn around. But then it turned out to be so difficult that it was easier to just keep going. And we were like, we'll figure out a ride back to the, back to our, you know, stuff in our car. And we got to the end. It turned out, no, there wasn't a ride. And so we had to hitchhiking. So we just stuck our thumbs out, hitchhiked, and it turned into a Volkswagen commercial. Because a Volkswagen bus with like hammocks up that were made of like hippie fabrics, like came up. And two absolutely lovely German ladies got out. And they, they were like, hey, do you guys need a ride? And we were like, we were like, yeah. By the way, a perfect German accent

German New Zealander accent Thank you, thank you Do you need a ride? Do you need to ride? And it's a little bore at but we were like, yeah and they were like, get in, you know, and they were just German hippies

and we were like, where are you from? And they were like, Nuremberg. And I was like, yeah, that's, I know that from the trust. Sounds like a bit of a trial. They had no idea. And I was like, and we were like, what are you guys doing?

You know? And they were like, we're here for three months. We just got out of school and we're just like driving around. We bought a car and we're going to ditch it, you know, sell it afterwards. I'm here for three months. I was like, oh, yeah, Europe. They like to, they enjoy, like, they will go on a vacation for that long. It's like, they're not like, let's get to work. It's much better. Yeah. And then we picked up a, we hitchhiker to kind of pay it forward the next day. And that's the story. That's nice. And where did you bury the hitchhiker that you picked up? In our tummies.

Oh. Oh, broing, all right, hold on. Okay, I think we're all sproyinged out. Let's take a little break. We'll come back for some more. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jessica. La La. Max Fun Drive starts next week.
