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, I read it online.
Okay, so we have a segment on our program, which is called Jordan Jesse Go.
That's the name of the program, not the segment.
The name of the segment is I read it on the internet.
Jordan has just called it I read it online.
There's been a lot of other names that we've tried.
out over time. Which one's stuck? None of them. None of them have stuck. And even calling it a
segment seems generous. But on this portion of our program, one of us will note something we saw
on Reddit. And then we talk a little bit about it. We introduce a guest, talk for 60 or 70 more
minutes. That's a podcast. I was hoping that you would just read something for the rest of the show. I
didn't expect to have to talk about it. Yes, someone copied and pasted the entire text of
Frankenstein into Reddit, and I'm just going to read it.
I think that's what YouTube is right now.
People reading entire Reddit threads into the camera?
You know, YouTube's been a lot of different things, hasn't it?
Yeah.
I don't know.
That sounds right.
I think that's true.
Sure.
But this is from, so I subscribe, I'll just set it up a little bit.
I like to read a lot of, you know, comics and comic book-based subreddits.
Oh, you're a comics author yourself.
Sure, sure.
And it's a general interest of mine.
Of course, you know, you can't do any better than R slash Archie Comics.
Right.
It's a great place where people go.
The outside world never gets brought up.
Right.
And it's just, you know, people complaining about whether Jughead is too horny or not horny enough.
Right.
People have different feelings on that.
I'm neutral.
Right.
I think Juddhead can do what he wants.
No discourse about whether Jughead deserves to be assassinated.
You know, there's, that has not.
come up. Okay. But yeah, so there's, you know, Archie Comics very good. Our slash comic collectors
is basically one kind of post. Someone from outside the community will come in. And it's usually
something like, oh, we just, you know, we cleaned out my grandpa's attic or I found these at a garage
sale. Are they worth anything? And then just page after page of people going, no, no, they're
not worth any. Just people screaming at them that they're not worth anything and that they're
worthless. It's, uh, you can maybe tell that they're, they're projecting some frustration.
Maybe their hobby is not paid off like they want. That's what, uh, R slash antiques is like.
Oh, yeah. It's people saying, that's not an antique.
What, what is? Not an antique. Not an antique. Not an antique. I guess I don't know what something
has to be to be an antique. A hundred years old. Oh, so it's, it's just a, a unit of time.
Yeah. It's a hundred years old. A hundred or more. So something that's not an antique will be an antique at
some point. Yes. Okay. But people yelling, it's not now. I'm almost going to hit. Yeah. If my wife
has anything to say about it. That's just kind of the tone we were using. Basically, yeah.
So this is actually a post from there's a, there's a, the comic people need to consolidate. This is from
R slash comic underscore books underscore. Okay. I don't know where they retreated from. Something was
going down at R slash comic books they didn't like. Right. So they're like, we need to start a new one.
But I just thought this was a really...
Wait, that's the name of the subreddit or the poster?
This is the subreddit.
R slash comic underscore books underscore.
Wow.
The poster is fantastic hyphen trust 770.
Okay.
My concern with this subreddit is that it's some sort of dark variant.
You know, I'll see what you think about this post.
Okay.
But yeah, they definitely defected from somewhere.
Okay.
So, but yeah, I've, I've found.
It found it to be pretty nice, and I kind of enjoyed the responses to this post.
This is a question.
This is kind of like, you know, what is this worth?
I guess it's just like my concern is like, what if it's like people who are mad at the Chapo Trap House or something?
Sure, sure.
We are getting our own comic books up ready.
We'll be over here.
For armed struggle.
Sure.
Steven, maybe check into R slash comic underscore books underscore and see if we have to issue any kind of corrections after this.
Did you end up on this subreddit just by typing various combinations of the word comic and books and special characters?
I think it just, I think Reddit just kind of takes swings, you know?
And in this case, the swing was correct.
Got it.
The content, but yeah.
You didn't just like type in Star Comics, Star Books, Forward Slash, and see what happened?
No, I think it showed me something.
It's like, you like this, right?
And then you can say if you like it or not.
And I think I did.
Okay.
So this is just a question that had some nice.
response is what are some
canonically thick comic book characters
thick of course
T-H-I-C-C so they're building a sort of
in a way yeah they're building
a thick cannon right
yes I mean don't not to be just
confused with Nick Cannon right we all
love sure good and everything yeah well I mean
we all love him because each and every one of us
he is our father sure yes
he's the father of all our father
and something I like about
this is that this poster is clearly looking for jackoff material right but
does not want to jack off to anything that's not canon right doesn't want it to be a
what if he doesn't want it to be some sort of else world is there a world that
the watcher saw where everyone was thick right I've peered into the multiverse
what if you know it's like you know you know what if Captain America joined the
Fantastic 4. That's a fun. Like, what if everyone was totally caked out? Right.
What if every Avenger was totally caked out? I mean, did you learn anything about the canon?
I mean, I'm not saying, you're no Harold Bloom when it comes to the canon. No, it's true.
It's, I mean, basically, it's like everyone, everyone posting photos of Shee Hulk gets in there a lot.
Right.
famously kicked out. Nightwing.
And I'm excited to get further into this because our guest happens to be a She-Hulk expert.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, this will be.
So a lot of She-Hulk.
I mean, 90% Nightwing.
Okay.
Nightwing famous butt.
I thought Nightwing, I thought Nightwing was Robin after he quit being Robin.
It is.
And he's thick.
He's thick.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, yeah.
Daddy Thick.
Okay.
Yeah, that's one of the things about Nightwing.
How they showed that he was a girl.
grown up, he became thicker.
Right, he's, and that's kind of the nightwing evolution.
He got his freshman 15.
Right, exactly.
And, you know, stopped, stopped, you know, stop skipping leg day.
And then, so it's, it's, it's, maybe I would say, let's say 80% nightwing, 10% Sheehawk, 10% Garfield.
Garfield thick.
Yeah, Garfield is pretty thick.
Garfield thick.
Yeah, that's a good point.
That's all.
That's the only canonically thick.
There's some other stuff, but nothing, nothing was as unanimous as those three.
That was the most, yeah.
And I think, oh, you know, I think it post started with Jessica Drew Spider Woman.
I think now that you and our guest are both, have weaseled your way into the Marvel universe, I think Marvel, colon, caked up is a pitch that the two of you could.
Sure, it's a summer event.
I'm just saying like all of the books
Jordan have repercussions
You got swimmer's legs
Well you got powerful five
You'd notice thank you
And our guest
No one
No one that we know
Looks better in in hot pants
It's true
Than this guest
Our guest on the program
Is of course a writer for Futurama
And the author of
A whole passel
Of new and upcoming comic books
Cody Zirley
Hi, Cody.
Hello, thanks for having me.
I just want to say, I think they missed opportunity by calling it what thick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't want to derail the entire show to cover this, but was how much, how often was.
Oh, there's no show.
Oh, yeah, we're not recording right now.
Sure.
How often was the thing mentioned?
Because I feel like that would be like, oh, he is, he is thick.
That's a great.
No, I didn't see any mention.
What about my favorite comic book guy?
Oh, yeah.
I love that guy.
I saw no mention of concrete and no mention of the thing.
Wow.
Opportunity. So that it did not...
These young people don't know about these
comic books that
a comic book guy recommended to you in
1989. They need to
know. I do love the idea of
the Wattu, the Watcher, coming down and me, like,
beware, there's a universe of nothing but caked up
Captain America.
Honestly. He's a butt guy, I guess.
He's been a, you know, he's an omnipotent
ass guy. He's like, I'd like to see
that. It occurs to me...
It occurs to me right now. I don't know where
it stands canonically, but the Watchers
not not thick.
I think you don't see
the watcher's bottom half.
It kind of fades.
He's got a thick head, though.
He's got a thick head, you know?
It's funny.
I just watched, I re-watched
Watchman.
They did an animated series
and like an avid.
Spoiler has been, I guess,
30 years at this point.
But Dr. Manhattan's like,
I'm going to go create humans
in my own world and post this
conversation.
He's like, let's make them
40% more jiggly.
They need some more of that bottom.
Yeah.
Let me make,
he's like,
I'm going to create a,
a new society, but nasty.
I mean, Dr. Manhattan, not
not thick. I think he can become
as thick as he wants to. Right, yeah, because he
is kind of, yeah, he's kind of omnipotent.
Is he just like hanging out on the moon thinking
about nasty freaks? Just sitting
on his little rock.
Oh, maybe this
is a little bit of business we were talking about off
Mike. You know, and we'll like make this make sense with
editing later, but we were just kind of
chatting, I was...
Can you pause just for it?
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
Stephen, would you mind making this show
makes sense with editing later?
Push the editing button?
The grand arc of this program.
What are we on episode 850 or so?
Make it a classic hero's journey.
We're like 915 or 916 or something.
So that's, so if you can, if it just set the editing to 916 and press it.
There's one big button that I just press every time.
I was asking Cody.
Cody's a writer for Feetroma, one of my favorite TV shows ever.
Oh my God, it's so cool.
Yeah.
I was asking him, you know, about the upcoming season that's about to drop.
He was saying that there was a friends and family screening.
Jesse had a, had a delightful response.
Let's see if we can kind of recreate the magic here.
So, Zig, how's the new season of Futurama coming out?
It was good.
We had a family and friends screening last night.
And where was that?
It was on the Disney lot.
That sounds like a lot.
Worth it.
Worth it.
Now, listeners at home, if you hear that raucous laughing next to you.
I hit a lamp.
It's because your neighbor who's listening to the show could not contain themselves and laughing so hard, they dropped their phones.
Stephen, start graphic designing the It's a lot shirt.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
Stephen, can you also, can you press the funniness dampening button?
Because I don't want to fuck anybody up.
Yeah, you're right.
Oh, no, I've tripped over it.
It's gone all the way down this whole time.
Well, that's the problem.
That's what's going on.
If you're listening at home.
It's just a technical glitch.
Yeah.
Crick that bad boy up.
Nothing wrong with us.
What superheroes are you writing comic books for right now, Cody?
Oh, boy.
Let's see.
Miles Morales is like...
Most, I think is the answer.
Miles is like the main one.
The main one I was doing Deadpool.
Miles is, of course, one of the famous Spider-Man's.
Yeah.
One of the premier Spider-Man's.
I know that.
I did Miles.
I did Spider-Punk, I did Deadpool, did Taskmaster.
Wait, Taskmaster.
Jason Manzooks was, yes.
It was busy.
He couldn't do the crossover, but we're hoping to get to go to the next event,
the Taskmaster crossover event with Jason Manzook.
It's just a superhero who has to throw a party in a porta-potty in 60 seconds?
And then he says, TikTok, Mr. Witt.
Yeah.
Wait, what's Taskmaster the superhero?
So his name is a bit of a walk.
Tony Masters, aka Taskmaster,
The special power is that he can watch anybody do anything
And then be able to copy it his photographic memories
So he's actually got a funny bit in the comics
Which is like he's basically a henchman for hire
So if you if you're opening up your evil organization
You want to train your henchman
Right
You hire taskmaster to be you're basically your teacher
And how juicy is his turd cutter would you say
That's funny that if you go to the Wikipedia
You click on the turd cutter section
It really it has it tiered out to like five six
They're like power level.
Oh, right, right, sure.
That's on the back of the trading cards too, if you remember the old X-Men trading cards.
He's like the super, you're saying he's the super villain equivalent of all those
Korean nationals who got detained at that Hyundai factory.
Yes, exactly.
What's that?
Brought in to train local hire.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think, honestly, it's not to have far of a walk from like a task rabbit.
Oh, okay.
Think of task record, think of taskmaster.
Honestly, that should be his.
There's a fun little, little branding connection there.
Yeah, yeah.
Remember that woman's free, Disney.
Wow, I just got a letter from Disney.
It says thank you.
We'll take it.
Enjoy our loss.
Yes.
And then you say,
sounds like, I don't remember.
Sorry.
I don't remember either.
Sounds like a lot.
It sounds like a lot.
Yeah.
It doesn't, though.
Sounds, yeah.
Sounds like, sounds economical.
It's just, who cares?
Just an excuse to say the thing everyone loves.
The catchphrase everyone has now in love.
Sorry, I'm busy taking care of my son.
But I don't have one, because I got to get a sign.
There we go.
Okay.
See, we're not a one-trick pony here.
We got a couple tricks.
There's a couple ponies in here.
We'll turn several tricks.
Yeah.
What's your time management like?
You write so many at once and also television shows.
What do you do to keep it straight?
You're also bragging about watching TV and going to Jamaica.
Well, that's because I am currently unemployed.
Oh, okay, okay.
The key is to have your TV show going on a hate us.
we want to write a thousand comic books,
but that's not happening.
A lot of it is waking up at 8 a.m.
And then going to bed at midnight,
and then in between being on Zoom for your TV job,
and when that wraps,
you eat like a little bit of lunch,
a little quick lunch,
maybe a workout if you're trying to get a little bit swole.
Sure.
And then you go right back to final draft
and you write until midnight.
Okay.
So not fun.
No.
But you do get a lot of stuff done.
And also, it's really only like,
I call it my hell week.
You can use that if you want to,
Jordan.
Oh, thank you.
So one week out of the month
It's just like I'm just working.
I'm just having like 12 hour days.
But once that's done, then I can go back to being a normal human being.
Is it okay if I call it heck week?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jesse's gotten very religious since the last episode.
Oh, since the last time I talked.
Wow.
While we were talking, you found Christ and now don't swear.
No, I have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Well, congratulations, Jesse.
He says hi, by the way.
I think that's going to make the show better.
I think the show is going to be a lot of fun.
on from now on.
I mean, we were
out of, we were really short on loaves
before. And now
a lot of fish? Wait, so you now have
the powers of Jesus? He hooks
me up. He's got a guy. He hooks me up.
He just mails you bread?
No. If I, as long as I
bring one loaf, he'll hook
it up and loaf everybody up.
Huh. He left up the watcher the other
day. That's why so fit. Have you seen
the loaves on that guy?
Do I see right?
Um, are you, just this is a convoy I miss in the bathroom?
Are you, are you considering a trip to Jamaica?
Well, no, I was in Jamaica.
Oh, so I have a friend, uh, it's not a long, she's Jamaican, her family's Jamaican.
And we went there for her birthday.
She made a bunch of friends down for her birthday.
Oh, dang.
It's grace Jones.
Okay.
Also, a beautiful, beautiful country.
It's the perfect place to go to do absolutely nothing.
We had no Wi-Fi.
We didn't really have power sometimes.
We didn't have a cell phone signal.
So it really was just like, wake up, eat, go to the,
beach, and when you get tired of the beach, come back, eat some more.
And when you're done eating, go right back to that beach.
Wow.
And you do that six to seven days in a row.
And then you, for some reason, my mental, my mental felt fantastic.
So all it takes is going to a beach and getting away from the poisonous devices or cell phones and just being around friends.
That's all that takes.
But absolutely no shit posting, huh?
No, I mean, I thought, man, I would love to post a Gundam shit post to get three likes on my close friends.
But I was able to fight that instinct.
Okay.
I would love it.
I think one of the things, look, West Coast, Best Coast.
sorry flyover country sorry east coast worst coast more like chode island east coast least coast
oh that's it that's it that's it chode island's a good backup yeah yeah yeah yeah it's good
all but yeah i i think one of the things that i often forget about living on the east coast
is there's east coasters they're just going to the caribbean yeah when the fuck ever yeah yeah i feel
like the one-to-one is like the way that we can go to Hawaii.
Yeah.
Is the way that East Coast could go.
It's far to Hawaii.
Like, we can go to Hawaii and they can't.
Jesse, we can go to Ventura any time we want to.
Like, we can still go to the Caribbean.
It's just a little too far.
Yeah, yeah.
It's sort of like, I think you come to the West Coast.
It's like, I'm not going to be taking trips to Europe.
It's just two, it's like five hours too much.
Not worth it.
But winning the East Coast is like, oh, I mean, not that I would because I didn't have the money
then, but it's a six-hour flight to, like, London.
But that's doable.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess on our end, it's like, that six-hour flight is a 12-hour flight to Japan, but.
I was about to say, like, jokes on the East Coast because we can take a 74-hour flight
to Australia whenever we want.
Right.
So jokes on them.
Have anyone, have either of you ever gotten a compliment from an heir stewardess that you've
slept the entire flight?
I've gotten that several times.
More often than not, I've been on flights.
You're like, what a good sleeper.
Yeah, well, they'd be like,
after having anyone sleep the entire flight,
and I was like, I was just born this way.
I'm sorry, I just wake up every morning
and put my pants one leg on at a time.
But when I flew back from Tokyo two years ago,
it was like a maybe a 10-hour flight back
with like the winds or whatever.
And I did sleep for nine and a half
of those actual hours on the flight back.
That's extraordinary.
Yeah, it was great.
I can barely.
I mean, like, there have been times when,
one time I missed a flight.
from New York to Los Angeles
and ended up they put me on a flight to Boston
and then a flight from Boston to Los Angeles
and they like offered the best tickets
for like 300 extra dollars
and I called my wife and she gave me permission
so I was in one of those ones where it turns into a bed and shit
Oh yeah yeah yeah and in that instance
I slept in it
but I think in general
general, I can't do it.
I'm going to give y'all my routine for what I do.
Please, yes.
So I get there, I have a TSA pre-check, not to brag.
So I get there.
I have global entry, so I'm not sweating it.
I mean, capitalism is a prison.
It's a joke.
But spending $100 to get TSA pre-check or global entry, make your life so much better.
So I get there exactly 20 minutes before the plane is supposed to take off.
I get in line.
I pop my dramamine.
And then I sit down.
pillow on, eye mask on, headphones on, and I'm out before we even left off.
I only recently realized that I should have been taking gramamine the whole time.
Yeah, it's like, people like, well, take Xanax.
Like, or you can just pay five bucks and get Vamemamine, which still makes you sleepy.
And you don't have to, like, get a prescription for it.
I also like, I was like, well, I'm not feeling barfie.
Yeah.
But it turns out that a significant portion of me feeling awful went away when I took
Dramamine.
Like, it wasn't Barfi awful, but it was, like, a physical awful.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, the exact same way.
Like, I used to get air sickness, okay, and then I got over after more I flew, but then
I just got used to falling asleep for the majority of the flight.
Yeah.
So it's truly just like my cheap Xanax, like, I pop two of them before 30 minutes before we take
off, and then I sleep the entire flight.
Sometimes the stewards will, like, shake me away, like, hey, we, we've went, you have
to get off the plane.
So it really, if you've won, like, a hack listeners at home, two German means, 30 minutes
before you take off,
out like a light.
Dang, good hack.
But how are you,
how, if you guys are sleeping on these planes,
how are you not watching a seatback movie
that you were kind of curious about
but never went to see in theaters?
I've only,
I'm not a movie watcher on planes.
I've done it twice in my life.
Once was Abigail,
great airplane movie.
No, I could see how that being a good plane movie.
And I was flying,
I can remember where I was flying back from,
but my neighbor was watching,
it wasn't the last Jetham's Tapean movie,
but the movie before that.
I was like, oh, this looks good.
Oh, yeah, I can definitely distinguish between.
The postman or whatever.
Take job, Plit Manon, and that's probably the job.
But I watched that on subtitles.
I was like, oh, yeah, this is the perfect way to watch this movie.
Yeah, over your shoulder of your neighbor.
And instead of like turning my head 12 degrees and pletching it in, I just wanted to be a little bit of warrior.
But I'm not, I can't do media.
Oh, interesting.
I can only do like music and podcast.
I kind of look forward to my plain media.
It's kind of fun.
I have a really hard time napping.
I am on such a sleep clock that it's just so hard for me to get out of.
I have not tried the Dramamine thing, though, which I will do.
Have you tried drugs?
Because that will help you.
Oh, I would never.
This is a Christian podcast now.
No, yeah, I have not tried.
J.C. says it's cool.
J.C. says, oh, wow, okay.
Wow.
He's chill about that now.
He loves Molly.
Yeah.
He's rolling right now.
Yeah, ever since he went to E.D.C.
We're all connected.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, Jesus.
Okay.
Electric Daisy Christ.
Right.
Yes, the Electric Daisy Christ.
Steven, start printing up that.
T-shirt, one that says
It's a lot.
Does it come with Molly?
It does.
Yeah, the shirt does come with, yeah.
It's one of those things where you sell it online, and it's a picture of the thing, but then the
drugs are kind of visible.
Yeah, yeah.
You only buy it on the Silk Road.
Right, yes.
Can I offer you a dank Christian meme?
Sure.
Glaze him.
Instead of praise him.
Yeah.
Yet you can't offer it to me, and I will accept it.
Thank you, Jesse.
Thank you for that.
That is very much, like, youth pastor, sitting.
down in the seat backwards.
Right.
She used to say glazed up.
Jesus Christ.
You know,
we've all come on a picture of him.
You know what's busing?
Yeah.
Moses when he parted at the Red Seas.
But yeah,
but no,
I do like that plain media time.
I do like,
you know,
do you guys do games on planes?
I'll do the switch on the plane sometimes.
I like a little switch time.
Yeah,
I like some quiet reading time.
That's also nice.
And yeah,
the weird seekback movie
that maybe you wouldn't watch anywhere else.
If I put onto my computer a, the type of game that I want to play on my computer, I will play it the entire time, like, until my eyes hurt and I have a headache.
That is specifically is, and this happened with both, baseball mogul, Sim City.
Ah, yes.
These are two games that I will play compulsively indefinitely.
Yeah.
So I can't do that.
But I will put movies on my computer so that I can watch them on my computer.
so I'm not limited to the choices on the seat back.
Like, I will obsess over what?
Because in my day-to-day life,
unless it's something that I'm watching for work during the day by myself in my office,
I basically don't get to watch movies right now.
Yeah, same.
So, and certainly I don't get to watch movies that I have chosen.
And so for that reason, I will be like, like, I watched,
I had never seen Nashville.
And I'm like, I'm going to watch fucking Nashville on this airplane.
And it worked.
Or you watched it or it put you to sleep.
No, I mean, I don't fall asleep.
I'm a failure at falling asleep.
But I'm a success at watching Nashville, except for the fact that actually I'm not a success at watching Nashville because, sorry, everybody, I wasn't into Nashville.
And I only watched like half of it.
I watched it like last year, too, and I wasn't that.
That was a TV series?
No, this is a legendary Robert Alton.
It was also a TV series.
Okay, that's what I'm thinking of the TV.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, with Connie Britt.
You know, probably one of those you had to be there.
He had revolutionary at the time and the music.
And the dialogue is overlapping.
Yes.
And I love the Elliot Gould long goodbye.
I love MASH too.
But sorry.
Didn't do it for me either.
Didn't like McCabe and Mrs. Miller either.
I don't understand how you see that in, you know,
1974 or whatever in your mind is blown.
I've never disappointed our friend Elliot Kalin Moore.
He just looked at me with this just kind of lost sadness in his eyes when I told him.
He wasn't mad.
He's just.
Confused in you
I thought I knew you
There is something magical
I think when you go back and watch a movie
That you're like oh this is what
This is what everyone else took the site
The influence from
Yeah sure
Or like a TV series
Like I had that recently
Well not I guess not
Not recently but I saw a
A film
When I was in film school called The Sword of Doom
Fantastic film
A film made like I think
1962 7 and you're watching it
You're like oh this is where they got the style from
Like this is where they get the dark protagonist
The movie is fantastic
but the premise is like it follows this sort of psychotic swordsman for the first half
so you're following the antagonist for the first half of the movie and you're like this person
despicable like I can't believe they're making me watch this guy the first thing it is
kill an old man who had while he's praying and then um this made to start a movie yeah i mean
honestly i've heard of save the cat but kill the old man just google the intro it's the most
it's the coolest thing you've ever seen like the coolest way to intro character and then
this guy's like badass he beats people left and right and then he meets the the the hero
of the movie halfway through and the first time he loses the fighters against his hero in the
mess movie is from the perspective of the hero no neat and you're like oh this is where people
got that from this where they got the stylist from like the store the samurai fighting in the snow
as it falls down or like you're cutting the guy in like five seconds he waits and then he falls
down yeah oh this is where everyone got that style from and watching it then watching it then oh
this is very cool but i'm sure if you saw it in like 1967 you're like oh this is this is going
awaken something this is now my whole deal yeah this is now my whole deal i had that experience
watching a Jason Statham movie
and then I sort of saw
where they got all the other
Jason Statham movies.
Which one?
Oh, just a Jason Statham movie
and then all the, yeah.
Sure.
You guys want to take a break
and watch every Jason Statham movie
and then come back for a little bit more?
They're all good and I do.
We'll be back in just a second

putting together lots of special shows, including an episode where we got together, Jordan,
you and I got together with our old friend Gene O'Neill, the original co-host of the Sound
of Young America, big time Gene O'Neill, to reminisce about the many mistakes we made.
And embarrassments we produced while hosting the Sound of Young America in our college days.
That was fun.
It was a fun chat.
Great to have the old gang back together.
I cannot wait for folks to hear it.
When I was sitting here listening to you two guys make jokes.
Jordan, you effortlessly making hosty jokes.
Gene making jokes about how uncomfortable he was to be there, as always.
Nothing has changed over these many years.
I was just...
I grew with a beard, I guess.
I was thinking how lucky I am to be friends with you guys and to have met you guys all those years ago and worked with you for so many years, Jordan, and gotten to work with Gene when we were in college.
And I was just feeling very fortunate.
Yeah, it was such a fun chat.
I'm glad we did that.
I'm glad it all came together.
What a hoot.
Yeah, we never have to do it again.
Well, the 50th anniversary, I guess.
We probably should.
If I make it to 70.
Okay.
There you go.
Done.
Hey, while we're listening off live events, Jesse.
Yeah.
This is a, we're going to talk about this later in the episode, but I'll give a, I'll, I'll pre-talk about it.
Great.
So when you're, you're ready when we officially talk about it.
Can you give this little PT?
I'm going to give a little PT, little pre-tees.

out there at the Universal City Walk.
Wait a minute.
What world does this predator come from?
Oh, God.
What's their planet called?
Yautja.
I should know this.
Anyway.
I don't know, man.
It says here Melmac.
Is that right?
I think of Alf's planet.
Sorry, whenever I'm Googling something, I always end up typing in Elf.
No, I get it.
He's hilarious.
So it's October 25th, 4 to 6 p.m.
Things from Another World.
Come get some Predator Comics signed.
A Predator.
would eat a cat.
Well, I mean, he would, he would hunt the cat if the cat was an honorable warrior.
Okay.
They have a code, Jesse.
The yautja have a code.
Right.
Anyway.
The yauter what the people from Melmack are called.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
And November 8th, a big day to see me slash us.
Mm-hmm.
At 10 a.m., I'm going to be at the Burbank Book Fest.
at the Burbank Public Library
Buena Vista Branch
Don't go to the main branch
I won't be there
10 a.m. I'm going to be signing books
at the Burbank Book Festival
Buena Vista Branch and then
I'm jetting across town
to Revenge of Comics and Penball
I'm going to meet you and we're going to be doing
something something
We haven't figured out what yet
We're emailing with them
Yeah it'll start at a time
Yeah, Revenge of Combson Penball, a great comic book store.
We did their big parking lot party last year.
We did a little live podcast, signed some books.
It's going to be tons of fun.
So just put November 8th in your calendar if you're anywhere near Southern California.
You know what?
Let's just do a VIP meet and greet.
That's a fun idea.
Let's just do.
Stephen, people love those.
Write down VIP meet and greet.
Can you put down great VIP?
And then he wrote it there.
And then can you write down $60, comma, photo?
And then write no eye contact.
Yeah.
Right. No eye contact.
There you go.
And then write, write down William Shatner question mark.
I don't know.
If we could get him to come, it would probably up the value.
That would be fun to get Shatner.
It would be nice for the fans.
Captain Kirk himself.
Great.
And if we can't get him, let's get Janeway.
Janeway would be good.
Riker, Wharf.
We'll take a wharf.
You know what?
Put down wharf and then see if we can get data.
Oh, I'm out of ink.
Tell, okay.
But tell data we're getting WERF
and tell WRF we're getting data
and then see who confirms first.
Okay.
Yeah, I love that.
Okay.
Perfect.
We'll be back in just a second
on Jordan Dessico.
It's Jordan Jesse Go.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Cody Ziegler,
the theory.
Watcher.
He is.
He is.
A bunch of
big binoculars.
The Watcher
lives on like a
watcher planet, right?
He lives on the moon.
He just hangs out on the moon.
Yeah.
With Dr. Manhattan.
Yeah.
The Justice League
sometimes also lives up there.
Do not cross my demarcation,
Dr. Manhattan.
This is my side of the moon.
Don't touch my
yogurt's in the fridge.
Their roommates.
I told you to please
take the trash out.
observed that you lied.
I mean, once Disney buys Warner Brothers, that can be a show.
Yeah, that's true.
Or vice versa.
It should be a show, too.
You know, we have a segment on the program.
Well, we got a lot of segments.
We don't.
Cody, you write a lot of comic books.
So you know a little something about creativity and coming up with ideas.
Yes.
So do we.
We work really hard on this show.
We don't.
And we come up with ideas for segments and put them out into the world, then people call in.
So it's not just like people calling in to tell us something that they want to tell us.
And then at the end, they say, oh, this is for your segment, blah, blah, blah, to justify it.
Just so you know, it's because we work hard to have a lot of ideas.
So here's an example of that.
And I know what segment this is for.
Okay.
Hey, guys, it's Margaret, following up on your discussion of auto body damage from this week's episode, calling in for your recurring segment bucket of the month.
I saw an elderly man driving a late 80s white Toyota.
with the back end so smashed in that somebody probably got hurt.
The car was covered in mold, and the driver's side window was just hogwire, not glass.
And he had a Veterans for Peace magnet on the side, so I liked him.
Thanks for the good work.
First of all, shout out to Veterans for Peace.
My dad helped found it.
Hey, okay.
Second of all, shout out to Hogwire instead of windows.
Yeah.
I also want to, I mean, this is such a wonderful segment, one of my favorites, but I forgot why this person was talking.
I was trying to determine if it was a bucket hat, like an actual carrying bucket.
And then once I realized it was like a car.
To be clear, last month's bucket of the week was fried chicken.
Okay.
And then a week before that, it was Mr. Bucket.
Yeah.
The game where you put the balls in the head.
Week before that was $5 utility from Home Depot.
A legend.
That's why I love this guy
You guys so much
You can't be pegged down to one bucket
We can be pegged
If our girlfriend's into it
It's our birthday
Yeah
This sounds like a pretty sweet ride
I feel like
I feel like there are so many
Fewer
Buckets in my life
These days
Than there were when I was a child
I think
cars are a lot better than they used to be.
I think that's one element.
Like, maybe I need a harder definition of bucket.
I mean, I think we're talking about, we're talking about a $300 car.
Okay.
A car that you buy, and then when it breaks, you leave it there.
Sure.
I've done that before, yes.
Yeah, okay.
What was your bucket that you abandoned?
Well, the car was actually nice, but the engine, I had a Pathfinder, a Nissan Pathfinder.
I was driving to help a friend out on the, and it blew up on the engine on the highway.
Like, full, like, cartoon, like, smoke pouring out, like, the thing pop it up, like, two
nice men help me push it off the highway.
And then I was talking to the mechanic.
He's like, it's going to take, like, $1,200.
I don't know why I'm giving something accent.
It's going to take a lot.
It's going to take more to get an engine.
Give him a Bastin accent.
Yeah.
Hey, fucking, fucking, Boston.
He's a, hey, it's me.
I'm from Boston.
What are you guys doing?
I'm Boston.
I'm from fucking Dallas, Texas.
I never left the place.
What are you talking about it?
He's like, hey, it's going to cost like $6,000 to get an engine.
It's more money car.
Then I said, okay, I hung up and I called cars for kids.
And I just told them where my car was, and I never went back and got anything out of it.
I was like, just take it from them.
It's over there cars for kids.
It will burst into flames.
So don't give it to any kids.
Yeah, the kids cannot drive the car yet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love that.
But I feel like, I mean, I've often shared that my little league coach drove a car with one door.
Yeah.
And one open area.
That's an example of a bucket.
And I feel like, I mean, I don't like, you know, the hood that I grew up in was hooter than the hood that I live in.
But like mostly just because of overall decline in crime rates since the late 1980s.
You know what I mean?
Like the crack epidemic was in full swing.
It's a similar neighborhood like demographically.
You know what I mean?
But when I was a kid, I feel like there was just really well.
represented was, but I think it's probably just because in 1989, a 12-year-old car was from
1977, and that was a shit-ass car.
Like, an American car from 1977 is a horse shit garbage pile.
That, I mean, I'm fully, I don't know my old man shit, but like the suspensions in cars
before, like, 1992, it truly was just, I remember, like, being in my grandpa's
Bjork and just, like, bouncing on every single pebble down our paved street, our normal
government paved street.
But you felt every, every, all the creeks that you would hear in a car, like, it would, like, you know, you'd watch, like, the captains on a ship turned and the mass thing forever.
That's how long you would take them to just turn or, like, the car is to your point where's so much shittier.
But also, I feel like I'm from the South, very, very rural town.
Like, you're not going to spend money on a car.
Like, that's your car until it literally will not run anymore.
So, like, you would have, like, a door missing or you would have my favorite, the two-toned, like, hood or the two-toned, like, door.
On cars, like, absolute favorite.
Or, like, the person that would have the spare tire on indefinitely, like, a year-long spare tire donut on the car.
I was on a Reddit about car.
No, I was on the Buy It for Life subreddit, which is a real cantankerous pile of bullshit.
Okay.
These are, like, people that want you to cast iron pans or special knives or something.
Anyway, somebody was talking about how their truck was going to go for 400,000 miles.
And they were talking about, well, yeah, it gets 11 miles a gallon, but it's going to last me 400,000 miles.
And I'm like, right, but I mean, like, how much are you spent that you can buy a new car with the gas money that you're spending for this thing you are keeping on principle, probably.
Yeah, you have to like, it's not like it just goes for, like, it's a ship of Theseus at 400,000 miles.
Like, you've replaced everything on the vehicle at that point.
At that point, also, he's shoveling coal into the engine block.
Directly.
Yeah.
Sure.
Maybe this is Jay Leno.
Yeah.
It could be Jay Leno.
I only picked the gas with my scene that money.
Yeah.
I never touch my Tonight Show money.
I do use it to fill my 400,000 mile truck.
I feel like the closest thing to the kind of like, in my neighborhood when I was a kid, it was like 70s American cars.
It was like land yachts.
It was like giant Buicks and Oldsmobiles and stuff like that.
Like two doors where one of the door was sagging because it was so long.
long and heavy so it was hard to close that kind of car the closest thing to that in my neighborhood
now is probably like 25 year old Toyota Previa sure like a Previa or a Sienna will go forever
in my neighborhood because big families affordable cars but like though the problem with those
is that those are high quality cars sure right like you can buy them you can buy them for
your $3,000 or whatever
But, like, if you're a guy that knows how to put a thing into it,
it will just drive indefinitely in a way that, like,
the door is never just going to fall off the way that a Buick from 1974 way.
It's funny that you mentioned that because my dad has an old pickup.
It's got to be 40 years old, like a Toyota, whatever, Toyota something.
But fully, like, that is on the, that is five years away from coming a bucket with, like,
fully like seatbelt duct taped
so it doesn't rip
like that you have to
it's so it doesn't rip while
it's not needed
also yeah it doesn't rip
why your body's actually being ejected
from the car after you crash
like one shield wipers
maybe 10 years old like it's just
you know like one of those
you know that you got to crank it on the console
to put it in and chipped in the gear like
that really doesn't catch that often
um the tires
I have they
if you told me they were 15 years old
I would actually believe
you like but there is something uh something about um i think from that generation that they like
fixing things like he likes going in and like fixing the engine he likes going in him like oh there's
a spark plug that needs to be changed like that's obviously the spark plug there's sure we all
know it's the spark plug yeah there's a line in the sand for me yeah on these vehicles that i
experience when i moved to los angeles right like i had had a moderately fucked up el
Camino in San Francisco and I also had a 65 Dodge Dart in San Francisco.
It had like drum brakes and one time just stopped working when I was on the freeway like
it just stopped working like nothing works working all the car parts weren't going yeah
and I had to just sort of like cruise off before I was just short of the Golden Gate Bridge
but uh I moved to Los Angeles when I was living in Los Angeles my aunt who had this really
nice El Camino. This is what you want. At the end of the day, you're going to want a lesbian
aunt so that she can give you her El Camino. But my aunt had a really nice El Camino when she decided
to get rid of it was in 87. The last year they made El Camino's, she decided to get rid of it.
And I'm like, fuck yeah, I'll buy it. Drove it down to L.A., got to L.A., and I realized that, like,
living in Los Angeles where I have to drive on the freeway in traffic and it's hot outside,
I can't deal
Like the line in the sand
I can't imagine the air works great in that car
That's the thing
The air conditioning is the line in the sand
Like I can't be on the freeway
Driving with the windows down
It just can't deal with that life
Having the windows down in L.A.
It's too hot
Like in San Francisco
I didn't matter if my air conditioning worked
You know I just rolled down the window in the summer
I am I've only had
I've only gotten one new car in my life
I years ago maybe like five
six years ago. I used to drive a
to a sion. That was like my car.
Oh, I had a sion for a while. It was a great car.
We had a sion as well. It's surprisingly roomy inside.
You know, it didn't have cruise control, but it didn't matter because I'm just in LA
driving around. And maybe like three years into owning it, my
headlight stopped working. I could only use high beams.
I was like, that's fine, whatever. But I also started to like date more at the time.
It became like a reverse vampire situation. Like, I have to be home by
I can't let her see
I was like all my dates
We're like we got to get coffee
We're going to get lunch
We got to go to the museum
But I have to be home by sundown
You're like sorry hon
My scion gave me a curfew
Yeah, yeah
He craves the nightlife
And after like maybe two months of that
I was like I just I have to get a car
I can't keep doing it
Yeah I think dating will like
Embarrass you into like improving your situation
You're like oh fine
I'll get a mattress fine
Stephen, we got another segment in there?
Yes, and this one is actually, so this person sent it in 2023, but it's relevant today.
Okay, wow.
Yeah.
Hi, Jesse, and Jordan and guest.
This is Chelsea calling in with a momentous occasion.
Just calling in now from Brand Castle in Brand, Romania.
It is Dracula's castle, and I want you to know that they can have any job.
Oh, these fucking Dracula's.
even know if you knew this about Dracula's and Cody.
There's no law about what job they can have.
They can have any job because Congress.
Oh, yeah.
This is, this is from another show.
This is a bit from another show.
I brought this up on this show before.
You have you?
Okay.
Yeah.
I want a yes and.
I really do.
I just, the problem is from something else, though, right?
No, I brought it up here.
I mean, I brought it up across media.
Great.
Also, we asked if anyone had sent us a message or would send us a message from a castle.
Oh.
And so this person re-forwarded it from 2023.
Oh, okay, I was going to ask you, have you gone that deep into the archives when you've...
I have, but this was like somebody specifically re-forwarding their previous email from 2023.
Can I ask a follow-up question to you, Jordan?
Yeah.
Did you not know this about dragons?
No, I did.
Please tell me.
I want to learn more about Dracula's.
I'm surprised to hear they can have any job.
Yeah, so they can have any.
I mean, like school teacher?
Uh-huh.
Firefighter.
That doesn't seem right.
You know, it's fucked up.
They can only work at night school.
Right, yes, as long as it's night school.
And night firefighting.
Yeah.
I mean, you got to invite them into the fire station.
They can't drive a cyan.
They cannot drive a cyan.
Thank you for calling us.
Is the government not screening for these things?
That's my question.
That's what I'm saying.
Mm-hmm.
And you know what the problem is, Jordan.
Right.
It's the clowns in concrete.
Oh, boy, here we go.
And you thought we had just had the one catchphrase.
You thought we were just, it's a lot.
No, we'll say all kinds.
We'll say all kinds of semi-jokes repeatedly.
We will say them.
Until they seem like they're probably a joke.
Until we've browbeaten you into believing they're a joke.
It will say them louder each time.
But that's beautiful.
I can't believe we have a listener that's been to Dracula's Castle.
I live to tell the tale.
I'm going to a fucking castle.
this week.
What?
Yeah, they've got a castle
and I'm going to
Mexico City this week.
Oh my gosh.
I'm going to go to a castle.
This is the only thing
I've been listing things
that are in Mexico City
to my children trying to convince
them to be interested
in any of them.
Right.
I have one of you,
what have you done that's not,
that's not worked?
What are they not interested in?
I mean, like,
there's all kinds of museums.
There's like a,
I mean, now that I say it out loud,
you know,
like the anthropology museum
doesn't sound that cool to a child.
I'm like,
I think there's parks full of dogs and tacos on every corner.
They like tacos and L'Iquitos.
They got those every fucking where.
Great.
But they're not listening to me.
Scarlett found out that it's not basketball season after I told her that there's a G-League team.
There's a basketball team in Mexico City.
For some reason, my youngest wants to go to the soccer game that my middle child and I were going to go to.
Okay.
But that's bad because my youngest is going to get there.
Remember that he hates that shit.
And then demand that we leave.
Oh, soccer.
I thought this was literally anything else.
But this was other things.
There is, I mean, there's fucking pyramids.
Yeah, pyramids in Mexico City.
You know, like, what's the castle you're going to?
It's called Chapultepec.
Okay.
Castle is right in the middle of town.
Oh, in the middle of the city.
Right in the middle of the fucking town.
And there's a big park in the middle of town, right?
It's like as though they're in Central Park or Golden Gate Park.
there was a giant fucking castle.
That's sick.
I know.
Is it functional?
Does royalty live there?
They got knights living there.
Wow.
No.
It's,
I mean,
it's functional in the sense
that it remains a,
a functional building.
You can go inside
for shelter from the elements.
You can storm it if you want to.
Oh,
I would love to storm a castle,
yeah.
I don't think any...
So they don't get any boiling oil dumped on me.
That would ruin my day.
Yeah.
Well, you've got to get a few good siege machines.
I do.
I know, I've been meaning to, I know.
So when you go on a date and she's like, where are your siege machines?
And I'm like, oh, they're in the shop.
Yeah, they got, they don't got no kings and queens in Mexico anymore.
But it was for, you know, like the governor from Spain.
Huh.
You know, when the Spaniards were running the joint.
Yeah.
They'd send somebody down.
They built them a nice castle and they wore some of that pointy armor.
That's sort of swoopy pointy armor.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about, right, Cody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The conquistador type.
Yeah, some of that shit.
Yeah.
Well, maybe, like, is there a way you could, like, trick the kids into going to the castle?
Well, one and a half of them are interested in the castle.
Oh, okay, great.
The castle is the one thing I brought up that has been somewhat of a success.
How long's the trip?
It's like a three-hour flight.
Oh, I was going to say, how long will you be in?
Oh, I'll be there for a week.
Well, there you go.
Just seven trips to the castle.
Everybody is having a great time.
It sounds pretty good.
I mean, at the end of the day, not much beach.
It's a castle.
Yeah, it's cool.
Even if it's like a, like, I was in San Juan, Puerto Rico on the Jonathan Colton
Cruz, they got a castle there.
I mean, this castle is like, you know, it's like from the Spanish-American War or something.
They're like 1900 or something.
Castle's cool, even if it has a shameful history.
Exactly.
I mean, I don't think there's a ton of non-shameful castle.
Or history.
You're like, yeah, Martin, pretty bad.
Martin Luther King Jr. built this castle.
No, no, no.
The crowning jewel of the civil rights movement.
Let's do this.
Let's find the least problematic castle.
Yeah.
Take a little break.
Come back for some more.
It's going to be the magic castle.
Oh, the magic castle.
Although I would imagine a lot of sexual harassment is happening to the magic castle.
Castle park where I played mini golf as a kid?
That seems right.
That's probably fine.
That seems right.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jesse Golf.

It's Jordan Jesse Go.
I am Jesse Thorne America's Radio Sweetheart.
Jordan Morris, boy detective.
Cody Zickler, the castle cutie.
You've got a castle.
You got to have a cutie in there.
Cody, does your wristwatch say whoop?
Yeah, so here's the thing.
It's not a wristwatch.
It's a health tracker.
It's called whoop.
The health tracker for juggalo's?
Yeah.
Once you hit 10K steps, you get a free bottle of a,
Fago.
Fago, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Earlier this year, I'm sorry that I'm going to the lure of this,
but I had a group of friends that wanted to get into like a fitness group,
so we all got whoops.
And I immediately was never top five.
So I've just been wearing this for the year and constantly getting my ass whipped.
Oh, my God.
Well, how do you score whoop points?
Well, first of all, whoop, there it is.
Second all.
Upside down and inside out.
I'll show all you folks what it's all about.
So it tracks basically,
every week is like who has ran the most miles
who has burned the most calories who has done the most
strain who has worked out the hardest
and I've never been I've only been top three once
and that's when the group was four people so sure
yeah so it's you and Glenn Powell
and Dwayne the Rock Johnson yeah yeah
he loves those sushi cheat dates
no yeah I feel like strained the most
is the only one that I would
you know and that would only be if I didn't get enough
fiber yeah
Who took the most painful dump?
And then you get a free bottle of Fago.
They mail you a Fago if you took a long, painful dump.
I'd love to have a nice bottle of Fago.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Sounds good.
Steven, do we learn anything about that comic book subreddit that we need to know?
I couldn't find it.
That's okay.
It's been banned already.
There's a lot of different comic credits.
Probably fine.
I think we can all agree.
Like the castles of the world
I found it Jordan
And it's
It's comic book
Subreddit for people who believe in
Traditional wives
Oh boy
Oh no
Their
Their headline just says
A community for the discussion of comic books
And the industry
So
You know
That means porno right
Yeah
I mean you know
If you do consider
Thick
Batman side
to be pornography, which many do.
I just feel like there's got to be more
thick, canonical
thick heroes. Yeah. I mean,
I think the canonically is where you're, you know,
running into, you will have a lot of arguments,
you know, like what's canon anymore, you know?
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, exactly.
See, it's an interesting discussion.
What about a rock guy from the Fantastic Four?
That way, that's we, we mentioned,
that's the thing.
Yeah, he is thick. And yeah, the fact that he was not
mentioned in that threat that I saw, Jordan.
Thank you.
Erasure, thank you.
Post concrete, and then in parentheses, right, if you haven't heard of him, he's a sad
superhero who goes to the bottom of the ocean and stays there for a while.
Yeah, you should do your own posting.
You can post that.
I don't think I can post that.
You can post that.
You can post it.
I don't have the credibility.
I don't know.
Who's listening to me about this shit?
I don't know.
Professional comic book writer.
Okay, so yes, my opinion does matter more, I guess, in this situation.
So I would say, go in there and then say, hi, it's me, Jordan from Godzilla versus
Los Angeles.
Yes.
put in concrete.
He's a sad guy
that goes through the bottom of the ocean
to think about things
and then just stays there
for like a whole series of comics
like a whole collection.
And then in parentheses that ass though.
Yeah.
And he's also in love
but he doesn't have a dick.
That's another important part.
Is that a thing about it?
A big part of concrete
is that he's in love with this lady
but he can't do anything about it
because he's made a fucking wrong.
And he's really fucking bummed about it.
That's pretty good to me.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think that, I don't know, maybe he's mentioned that he doesn't have a dick.
You know what?
Steven, find out of concrete has a dick.
Go to rule 34.com.
I really like the look of this superhero.
He's like all kind of like alabastery, but there's him holding a pig.
Yeah, he's helping out of a bee.
No, like, real talk.
One time, many years ago, our friend Alex Zalban, I asked him what comic book I would like.
And he said, you would like concrete.
And he was right.
I love that shit.
Yeah.
It's kind of boring.
He just, he's just kind of like, he's just a little whiny.
Yeah.
Pulling up a picture of concrete, he is thick.
I would say three C's, T-H-I-3-C's.
Ooh, the elusive third C.
Now we're talking.
Yeah.
You know, you know who else is thick, but maybe not known for appearing in comics,
but certainly does.
Yeah.
Talking about my boy
The Predator.
Okay.
Yeah.
Segway and into a plug.
I mean, he's definitely a nasty freak.
He is a nasty freak who loves to,
he's always on the hunt for trophies and that ass.
Zig and I both wrote a story for the upcoming Predator Comics anthology
from Marvel Comics, Predator Black, White and Blood Number 4 in stores October 22nd.
Zig, can you tease a little bit about what your president?
I was just going to tell the entire story.
Mine is a period piece maybe takes place in the South.
Maybe it involves some moonshiner's and maybe a predator shows up to disrupt their plans to run that moonshine.
Oh, yeah.
Mine's about a little doggy.
I have one.
Yes.
Mine in mine.
Uh-huh.
You did one, Jesse?
Yeah.
I didn't know.
Oh, my God.
This is so cool.
Congratulations.
I wrote a whole one.
And they didn't get put it in an anthology.
Oh, wow.
You got your own one shot or?
It's because I had such a good idea.
Okay.
He fights against Alien from the movie Alien.
Okay.
That was your idea?
Yeah.
So I had the idea of what if.
I brought that to them.
Oh, wow.
And they said that is a good idea, Jesse.
They gave me a million dollars.
Whoa.
Okay.
I mean, I wish I could come up with an idea that good.
Yeah.
They could tell it was my idea.
because I had wrote it on a piece of paper and mailed it to myself.
Like, his story checks out, you know, stamping everything.
And, hey, if you're in the L.A. area and you want a signed copy of this thing,
Zing and I are both going to be at Things from Another World, October 25th, 4 to 6 p.m., that's right there at the beautiful Universal City Walk.
Are there a catch?
Is there a catch?
Yeah, you can only get either me or Jordan a sign.
You can't have us both signs.
No, this will not be a double signing, since we have to pick us, one of us.
and then, well, the other one will be insulted and weird to you.
That is not true.
You will both sign it.
The catch is that John Lovitz has to sign it, too.
Because of his comedy theater that was there for a year or something.
It's all I know about Universal City Walk.
I mean, man, that's it.
It's fine.
I haven't proposed this to you, SIG, but I want to do it here on air.
So you get your thoughts on it.
It's in October, so it might be a little chillier.
Should we both wear tank tops?
Oh, I mean, that's not even a question.
I'm going to wear a tank top.
Okay, if you don't think I'll be biting your style, I'll wear a tank top too.
It's funny that you say that because, like I said, I had a screening for Petroma casting screening last night,
and I didn't know they're going to call up people to, like, to the stage.
And I wore almost the exact same thing wearing now, only I was wearing short shorts.
So there's a picture of me in my shirt this is the South will never rise again in short shorts and a boot.
in boots
beside the entire
cast and crew
of Futurama
so I'll let
all that to say
yeah permission
to show out those guns
Amazing okay
this is going to be
it's an
it'll be a tanked up
signing
4 to 6 p.m.
