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 Boy, Detective.
Oh, hi, Jordan. How are you?
I have some material for our hit segment.
I read it on the internet.
Material, my favorite.
Yes. Otherwise, we would have to do things.
in our lives to talk about.
But why do that when
a listener whose name I'm going to say
was 10 million tiny ducks?
It was something like that I'm not logged
in to Reddit right now. It was nice enough
to send this. By the way, I'm just
going to go ahead. I'm going to take this opportunity, Jordan,
to bring our guest into this conversation, because
she might have some... Let's do it. She might have a point of it.
She's a stand-up comic. Beloved,
beloved regular, too. You know, you can... With the beloved
regulars, you just push them right in the
pool. Now, Jordan, it's her
first time at the new office, and she parked in the wrong parking
garage. We had to find her and she has an Android phone so she couldn't drop me a pen.
No. Kimberly Clark. Hi, Kim. How are you? Hi, guys. How are you? Kim is uncomfortable anytime
she's outside of Burbank, Jordan. That's just the reality. I really am, especially at night.
Like, downtown is, you know, and then you told me about the naked man. So like I already had anxiety
coming here. Yeah. So there was, Jordan, when I came into the office, there was a fully nude man
laying on the sidewalk out front
straight as a rod face down
Okay
Then sort of rolling on his back
I was like sort of like rolling back and forth a little bit
Like yes
Like if you had a pretzel stick in a pan
And you were shaking the pan
Because you were browning the pretzel stick in the broiler
Yeah
Yeah exactly basically anyway so I offered to go get Kimberly Clark
In case that guy was still there
I'm sitting to where
sitting by the good, the right parking garage.
Kimberly Clark parked did a whole other parking garage.
Because she heard it's the jewelry parking garage.
The St. Vincent jewelry parking garage.
All right.
So this is what it says on,
this is what it says on the internet.
The subject, this is from R slash dating advice.
Mm-hmm.
It says,
is my perpetual stew really a turnoff?
Okay.
Hey.
I don't need to hear too much more.
I'll probably just go ahead and guess.
Yes.
Hey, everyone.
I previously posted here for help with my apartment decor and got some great feedback,
but it seems I didn't cover all my bases and need some more advice.
I did look back at this person's.
First of all, this person is in the comments having a great fucking attitude.
So I just want to give a shout out to this person.
Their account is deleted, but you can see their posts still.
There replies to people's replies, and they're fucking taking notes,
not being weird and shitty about any of it.
And it was the same about their post about how they had,
I think it was like 50 or 70 pictures of this one lady from the K-pop group Black Pink up.
And so they had taken down most of those.
I think it's a he.
I think he had taken down most of those.
Okay.
So the original post was like,
are my thousands and thousands of pictures of the one lady from the K-pop group a turnoff to potential partners?
Yeah.
And people said yes.
And then this person went ahead and took out.
I would probably also say yes.
Yeah.
The general situation is that I maintain a perpetual stew in my apartment using a sort of solar-assisted insulated pot and a small electric heater when it's too cloudy.
I've had it going for just under a year.
It started out as an experiment when I first discovered the concept and thought it would be fun to try out.
I had a lot of fun setting it up, making it look nice and continuing to enjoy the process.
I even named it, stuber, and designed a lid attachment that looks like a little top hat.
It's not trashy in appearance or anything.
I make jewelry for a living and I'm generally pretty good with aesthetics.
But I had a date over recently with most of my wall art removed and replaced with more normal stuff, so that wasn't a factor.
And it bothered her.
Pictures of people from BTS.
Yeah.
And it bothered her for...
You know, normal stuff.
It bothered her for some reason.
The date went well, I thought.
I cooked dinner.
We watched a movie, and we made out on the couch for like 30 minutes or so.
But then, the next day, we called, and the energy was obviously a little off.
I asked her what was wrong.
She admitted the stew was a turnoff.
She thought it made the apartment smell like a medieval tavern, which is kind of the point.
And she couldn't quit looking at it when we were making out.
I told her I didn't want to get rid of it because I worked.
worked hard on it and enjoy it as a hobby.
And we haven't been dating long enough for me to change something that's significant for
her.
So I'm just wondering if this would generally bother women or if this girl was just an isolated
incident, am I going to have to get rid of this, too?
Okay.
I think I need more information on the perpetual stew.
Yeah.
This is a, this is like a stock with beef and vegetables that's just always simmering and never
eaten. Yeah, I need to know the ingredients. It gets eaten. Okay, so I did some research, Jordan.
Thank you. Yeah. This is inspired by places like medieval taverns, but also there are traditions
of this type in Japan, among other places. And it is essentially a stock pot that is always going.
So there are various kinds, but it is that like rather than like finish up your food and get to the bottom of it and pour the last bit out and wash out the pot and start a new soup tomorrow, it is that it is always on the heat and it is always being added to.
And so it is a sort of slurry of the various foods that have passed through your life.
a remembrance of things.
For example, let's say you had some Madelines in your youth.
Oh, God.
That you remembered particularly fondly.
You got to throw that in the stew.
Throw them in the stew and the odor will remind you, Marcel Proust, of the medieval
tavern in which you were born and raised.
Wait, is this a savory stew or a sweet stew?
This is a savory stew.
I don't think they put Proust's Madeline's in there, but I'm just,
just saying, I think the idea is that it is like a fun project to always be tending to this stew,
sort of like a kombucha or a sourdough starter. Or even a wine, I guess. Yeah. And there's some,
there's some disagreement about how safe it is. It's clear that it's got to always stay at like 200 degrees.
Everyone seems to agree you got to keep it at two. Is it just on the stove? So it's used.
Usually in like a stock pot.
I mean, like in, sometimes it's on the stove and a stock pot.
Sometimes it's in the crock pot.
This guy sounds like he has a specialized situation that involves us.
I couldn't tell if this was like he's heating it with solar power or he's converting the solar power into electricity that's running a burner of some kind.
Right.
That's then heating it.
I'm worried that it's the first.
I'm getting an image of.
of gargamel.
It is a sort of a gargamel kind of project.
Yeah.
Sure.
And, you know, I mean, if the woman he's dating is a smurf lover, she doesn't want to come in
and see a pot full of dead smurfs.
I mean, if I loved soup, which I like soup, I think I probably have a roughly 50th percentile
opinion of soup.
You don't love soup?
I don't love soup.
I like soup.
Yeah, Kim, I think you've talked on this podcast before.
Yeah, yeah.
I have a love for soup.
So I could see myself getting involved in a project like this because I do love as much as I only like eating soup.
I love making soups and stews.
Yeah.
Anything that I can make in the slow cooker that belongs in the slow cooker.
Like, I'm not.
trying to make trucker meals where you plug this slow cooker in in the passenger seat of your big rig
and then by the time you get to Tuscaloosa, you've got, you know, fried chicken that you cooked in the
slow cooker somehow. Right. But for stews, for a brazed meat, I love the slow cooker. I love,
I know that like fancier cooks want me to do it in a Dutch oven on top of the stove or even in the oven.
but I love putting it in there and coming back eight hours later.
I got to say something about slow cookers and crock pots, especially crock pots.
I think everything you cook in a crock pot tastes like crock pot.
I don't care what the ingredient is.
It's going to taste like crock pot.
Well, that's the premise of the perpetual stew.
I mean, that's what they're shooting for is you're like...
Crockpot flavor?
So, okay.
I'll give you an example here, right?
Parallel example.
So I have some in-laws visiting this coming weekend.
A couple of them don't eat red meat.
A couple of them don't eat wheat.
That took out all of my dinner ideas.
I got a cook dinner for 10.
I'm like, what doesn't have those things in it, but it still is a dinner?
My wife says, well, what about tacos?
And I said, well, but I would usually be inclined to make those with red meat.
But then it occurred to me.
I said, oh, I could make carnitas in the slow.
cooker, which I do from time to time. And I went and looked online to see a recipe that Kenji
Lopez-Alte, a friend of Judge John Hodgman, an internet friend of mine, has for Carnitas.
And, you know, his carnitas recipes are a little heavy on seasoning, but that's fine. Some people like
them to taste like orange juice. And one of the things about cooking carnitas is you cook them in
fat, right? Carnitas are slow-cooked in a giant kettle, like a giant copper kettle full of
fat. And when you poached the meat in the fat, I don't know if that's the right cooking
for it, but when you slow-cooked the meat in the fat, you get all the flavor of the carnitas
that have gone before, all that browning flavors the fat. And so one of the big things that
Kenji was trying to deal with is like if you don't, if you're not cooking in a giant kettle that you're
cooking for 12 straight hours in, you can't just put lard into a bowl and then put your meat in
the lard because the lard doesn't taste like anything because it doesn't have the browning from all
the past meat that has been cooked. Does that make sense? And so the perpetual stew is an attempt
to achieve that depth of flavor that comes from excessive cooking over the course of
many, over the course of, in this case, many months.
But what is, I mean, I'm thinking it's going to be like a hot smoothie,
like a hot beef smoothie.
I mean, right.
Yeah.
I wouldn't have turned that down.
Yeah.
Everything you would put into it with texture would eventually become the same texture.
But that's the thing.
That's what is it.
If you think of, think of like an Irish beef stew, you know,
Like this was my stepmother's top recipe, my stepmother and Irish woman.
And she would cook a beef stew.
And you think of like the thickening that you get from the flour that you've cooked into it
and the tomato paste or whatever and the potatoes, you know,
some of the starch from the potatoes thickens up everything.
And so it's really, it's chunks in a gloop, right?
It's chunks in a glute.
That's what so many stews are chunks in a glute.
They are.
And so what you're doing, I think, with the perpetual stew is consistently introducing new chunks to the glup, new chunks to the gloup.
And then the old chunks eventually become gloop.
And that each time the chunks become gloop, they enrich the gloop.
I am going to throw up.
What bothers you more?
Chunks or gloop?
All of it.
Although just them together.
Yeah.
But stew is already, it's not even.
It's not an attractive looking dish.
So do you, are you-
You can't even make stew pretty at all.
I don't care how many garnishes you put on a stew.
It's, that, that bitch is ugly.
First of all, I would never, I would never use language like that.
I'm sorry.
All stews are beautiful, if you ask me.
All stews are beautiful, especially hardworking single stews.
So wait, but I have the point of clarification, Kimberly Clark.
Yeah.
Which do you feel?
do you feel differently about stew than you feel about soup generally broadly?
Oh, okay.
I wasn't ready for that.
I have a different relationship.
I like stew.
I have the same stance you have with soup.
But you don't like stew.
No, I do not.
Stu passed you a note in class and you check no.
No.
Will you be my girlfriend?
No, stew.
Not at all.
We can hang out in a group.
Yeah, in a group setting.
We can go to the movies in a group or something.
Yeah, but not what I would.
Hell no.
Okay, so what soups are you, do you prefer a clear soup?
Like, what about a potato leek soup where it's pasty?
Amazing.
I love a potato leek soup.
Okay, that's interesting because I would have guessed.
And that gets into gloopy territory.
It's a very gloopy soup.
Yeah, for sure.
That's a gloop.
That's a gloop soup, but I do like it, though.
It's good.
But it ain't stew.
It ain't still.
The Reddit, the Reddit man.
Yeah.
What was he putting in the perpetual stew, or did we learn that?
We did not learn.
Apparently sometimes it's like some of your leftover corn dog.
The top comment is, yeah, man, a Smelly Forever stew is going to be a huge turnoff to a lot of women.
You're going to need to find a stew-loving.
gal. Also, if you had to remove and replace wall art to bring someone in, I'm guessing you're a pretty
unique type in more ways than one, but be you. Find someone similar. And you know what? I think what
this fella needs, I'm presuming it's a fella. I think what this fella needs is a nasty stew freak that
loves black pink. Listen. Sure. So yeah, hang out at the train yard. Look for a nice lady hobo, right?
someone with one of those sproyinging top hats
we talked about with John Daly
and you know a top hat that's going sproying
or Jordan
Oh yeah like what about like a
I feel like if you went to the K-pop
Convention
Uh-huh
And you just held a sign that said
Looking to Meet Witches must have own cauldron
You know that's not everybody at the K-pop convention
By any means
But that's got to be one in 20
Right?
Maybe I'm confused about the witch cauldron.
Where did that come from?
Oh, that's where the Foreverstue gets made is in that cauldron.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
But I would, you know, maybe...
I think a Forever stew is very much a witch food.
Sure, but I think that sign's confusing.
I think the top hat is confusing.
Why?
Because it's sprunging?
Right.
If something's wrong with the top of a top hat, is it still a top hat?
Is that your confusion?
I don't know, but I just...
I think that...
That's probably what freak that lady out was that hat.
Wrong hat.
You're seeing this guy as dressed as a 1920s hobo with fingerless gloves and all he's ever
putting in there is a tin can of beans.
Right.
Yeah, I can see it.
Dude.
Yeah, he likes, you know, he likes the song Big Rock Candy Mountain.
and everything in then Black Pink's discography.
Yeah.
Jordan, how do you feel about potato leak?
I like it. Good soup.
How do you feel about soups in general and soups relative to stews?
I'm kind of with you.
I like soup a lot and, you know, but I don't like love it.
I've tried to make it a few times.
I always kind of fuck it up and it's, you know, a lot of work.
So I've kind of like maybe given up on soup making for the moment.
But I like stews a lot and, yeah, cooking stuff in the crockbot.
always a great time.
Yeah, I think I'm like upper medium on both of them.
Jordan, you got a blender?
I don't have a blender.
Oh, well, then I'm not going to tell you to make potato leek soup, but if you did have a blender, Jordan, if our listeners at home have blenders?
I don't have a blender.
Okay, but if you did, I mean, think about a, think about if your life was like, like richer and more full, you know?
like fulsome, you know, abundant.
And you had a blender.
Oh, it's not.
Okay, got it.
Got it.
Okay.
Well, then for, it's like, it's fine.
For the listener at home who does have the blender lifestyle.
Oh, Jesse?
Yeah.
They don't.
Oh, do they not?
No.
Ooh.
What about, what about an immersion blender?
Yeah, the little stick.
Yeah, a stick blender.
No.
Kimberly, you got a stick blender?
No, my mom does, though.
I like using it when I go home.
What's Mrs. Clark's, what's Mrs. Clark's name?
Helen.
Helen.
Helen, I know.
Helen, I know you listen to all of your daughter's podcast appearances.
So kind of you, so thoughtful of you.
I don't know my phone.
Helen, great mom name.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
First of all, Mrs. Clark, just say hello to all those, I call them the beautiful bitties at church.
Yeah.
All those beautiful ladies.
Say hello to them.
I'm always so happy to see them at social hour.
Oh, my God.
Number two, I'm going to encourage you to get involved in potato leek soup.
Because this was my, you know how everyone had their, like, their pandemic hobbies
where they were making sourdough bread and stuff like that?
My life was shambles.
All I really had was a blender, like in terms of the richness of my life.
Like, my life was just a purest categorical.
I was just crying a lot and going through a lot of shit.
And the only things that worked for me in entertainment were, I think you should leave,
which pierced into my heart and broke it open in the form of distressing laughter.
And watching old episodes of Julia Child on my PBS Living.
subscription. And there's this one where she makes potato leak soup. I don't think I'd ever even
had potato leak soup. But our colleague Kevin Ferguson, the producer of Bullseye, is like, oh,
you guys, you should be making potato leak soup. Potato Lake soup is an amazing soup. And if you've got
the blender, it's as easy, it's as easy as it could be. It's quick to make. My mom makes it with
her immersion state. Oh, well, Helen, I'm sorry that I'm telling you stuff. You already knew.
She already, yeah, she already in the game. Well, it's good that Helen and I are,
have found each other, like a man with a sign at a K-pop convention.
You're a line.
And his special, special witch.
Kim, I always like when you, on the Instagram,
post photos of you and Jay Leno.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you see that the fucking...
I know it was either going to be videos of her roller skate dancing or pictures of her and Jay Leno.
Did you see the clip of him wishing my...
Helen, a happy birthday.
I did.
Yeah.
It was great.
Was your, is your mom a Leno lady?
She always ask about it.
She's not necessarily a Leno lady per se, but she just loves the fact that I work with him.
Uh-huh.
And she's like, I love the fact that you work with him.
Tell Jay.
I too love it.
She's always like, tell Jay I said hi.
Like, I'm like, okay, mom.
She's like, and how's Jay doing?
You like go on the road with him, right?
No, it's not that deep.
It's just that you're both having to be at flappers.
Flappers or at Comedy of Magic.
Oh.
I just, I, I'm going to be frank with you.
Okay.
I had completely attributed it to you and Jay Leno sharing a certain Burbank lifestyle.
That's how it started.
I figured the two of you, you happened to pull in with your steam car into the parking lot underneath that flappers and Burbank over by the IKEA.
Right.
You threw it into park there.
You went into the raw stress for less or whatever it is where that parking lot is next to that parking lot.
I ran into him at a gas station once randomly in one of his crazy cars.
He was buying water to turn.
He was probably firewood.
I don't know.
Charcoal pellets.
I'm just here to crank.
He was like, what are you doing?
He was like, what are you about to do?
I was like, I'm about to go practice by clarinet and he just starts cracking up.
I mean, that's pretty funny.
Yeah, it was hilarious. And he's like in this like crazy looking car. I'm like, you laughing at me. I should be laughing at you.
Yeah, take that Jay Leno. Right. He seems like a difficult man to know, Kimberly.
Oh my God. He is like the, he's so nice. And this is coming from a diehard like Letterman fan coming up. You know, I was really into Letterman a lot. But I don't know Letterman personally. I know Jay personally. So that makes the difference.
David Letterman never wished your mom a happy birthday.
Ever.
If Jay Leno.
Mr. Conan O'Brien has said nothing to Helen.
Not a damn thing.
Not a damn fucking thing.
Here's my question.
If Jay Leno pulls up behind you or next to you at the gas station.
Yes.
Does he say, oh, hey, pal.
He calls me kiddo.
Kiddo?
It's kiddo.
Sort of like, this is like when Wesley's Sinai.
Snipes called our friend Eugene O'Neill Big Dog.
I like that.
I think.
What did Tyrese call you, Jordan?
Oh, God.
My man.
My man.
I would pay money to hear Tyrese call you that.
It was, honestly, it was one of the greatest things that's ever happening.
I have a Tyrese story, too.
Like, well, I'll fucking tell it, Cam.
Yeah, what haven't you told you've been on this show so many times?
Listen, I was doing Ellen when Tiffany was a guest hosting and Tyrese was the guest before me.
And then as he was coming off the stage, he patted me.
Tiffany the singer?
Tiffany Haddish.
Tiffany Haddish.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Let's clarify.
Tiffany comes out.
I think we're alone.
I think I'm no longer alone because Kim Clark is joining me in the audience laughs.
And they get it.
Oh, my God.
I don't know what's happening on daytime television, Kimmerly.
God.
I don't have any idea.
Tyrese pats my shoulder and he says, God bless you.
Did you sneeze?
No, not at all.
He was just blessing me.
He was just worried about you because of your career choices and come to go into a stand-up comedy.
I have no idea why he did it, but I was just like, thank you.
Was he hoping that one day you too would have your own Benny Hanna in your backyard?
Maybe.
I don't know.
That's real.
Yeah, Tyrese really.
I know people that have been there.
That's real.
I'm not going to lie to you, Kimberly.
I'm a little disappointed.
As soon as I heard you had a Tyreece story
and it didn't involve you going to the Benihana
in his backyard.
I'm so sorry.
His backyard, Benny Hana.
Here's what you do.
You just have to like wedge it in a conversation, Kim.
Like the next time you see Tyrese,
the next time you're like, you know, on a show together.
The next time you guys are doing Bill Maher together.
Yes.
Of course.
Then just like, and he's like, God bless you.
And you're like, oh, thanks, man.
I could use that.
Boy, nobody's flipped a shrimp into my mouth in a while.
And then he's like, you're in luck.
You did that so gingerly.
Yeah, I got to do that.
You just like, you say to Jaylen, oh, God, you know, I often wonder if there's other types of engines that use things other than unleaded gasoline.
Right.
I've always wondered, can someone make a train that goes on the freeway?
Oh, my gosh.
He got a lot of cars.
He does.
Is the thing about all denim, true?
or is that just like a joke we have about Jay Leno?
Is he always in like all denim?
I haven't seen him in all denim.
He was wearing that outfit when he came to be on Bullseye with Jesse Thorne.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's how I found him to be unknowable because I spent 75 minutes with him and learned nothing.
Really?
Yes.
That's so funny.
He was pleasant the entire time.
Yeah.
He tells really good stories.
Like he talks about like opening for James Brown and stuff like.
that like that like yeah like i like hearing those types of stories and him just talking about the old days
a wild a wild career yeah that's so funny 75 minutes you didn't learn anything i mean
you were you just trying to get some juice i was i mean i'm not trying to work him over right
i just want a little i want him to show his heart a little yeah because i'm gonna be frank with you
david letterman showed his heart a little right what i got to listen to the david letterman episode
I don't think it was my best work.
It was during that time in my life when everything was falling apart.
But he's a very thoughtful and sincere guy who has given a lot of thought to the choices he's made in his life, including the bad ones.
And I don't get the impression that Jay Leno, he said, well, he may well have done it, but held it deep inside himself until it turned into a little diamond.
You know, that's also possible with Jay.
And now how was Byron Allen?
I have not met him.
Well, I've met him in passing.
I haven't been on comics unleashed.
Is that because you're always, Kim, I'm sorry.
I don't want to note you to death, but you're so leashed.
What do you mean?
Yeah, the problem is you're too leashed.
You're excessively at leashed.
You have to become unleashed.
He can probably tell.
He can smell it.
That's what they say.
He can smell a comic who's leashed.
Yeah.
Y'all are so silly.
He knows the difference.
I am very leased.
That's why he brings in Josh Gondelman and not Kimberly.
Clark. I saw Gondleman on there the other day. Gondleman was on there. Dang. Gomblman was on there the other day, Kimberly.
I know somebody who, I know the person that I should talk to about getting on there, but I don't want to like, you know it's crazy. Like, I was with that person in the laugh factory.
And then someone walked up to her and they were like, I really wasn't happy about my comics unleashed performance.
Uh-huh. And he, like, walked up on her and she's like, what?
okay.
We're like just chilling.
Like he went at her about it?
Yeah.
And this is like during Netflix as a joke festival.
He like like rolled up on her.
He's like the time the time to talk about this is in the back of a comedy club while a comedy
show is going on.
It was so weird.
I was just like I'm like I'm not going to ask anything about that show.
Now I mean this is really unusual.
A stand up comic with like, um, you know, weird manners and boundaries.
Right.
There you go.
It's unusual of it.
Yeah.
It was really weird.
I mean, I guess a question would be, who is truly happy with their performance on comics unleashed?
Listen.
Like, who is like, I have found my North Star.
It is for me to sit across from a billionaire who made his money in syndicated television and might be a vampire based on him looking exactly the same as he did 30 years ago.
Looks amazing.
And pretend that I'm talking to someone while doing verbatim my act from the stage.
Listen, it's another version of, you know, doing your late night spot.
And it's just in another format, you know.
Yeah.
Those late night spots, those, they're horrific.
I've done two of them.
You did George Lopez, Lopez Tonight.
What was the other one?
And I did The Late Late Late Show.
The Late Late Show.
Craig Ferguson.
Not Ferguson with the last one.
James Corden.
Mr. Corden.
James Corden.
Whose middle name is Kimberly, by the way.
Really?
Yes.
I thought his middle name was talent.
Yeah.
Enter.
He sings.
Hello, my baby.
He does it all.
He abuses service people.
Yo.
My ragtime gal.
Listen.
Also, not that's about unions.
Not that's about.
Nuts about union.
But late night is not, it's, it's, it's, yeah, Kim, can you tell us more about that?
Like, why do you not like that format?
Listen, first, let me just preface this by saying, I'm very grateful for all opportunities that
were given to me.
I don't want the opportunities to stop.
Including podcast appearance.
Yeah.
Including podcast appearance.
And I want to be clear, Mr. Lopez listens.
Okay.
I know.
And he judges.
Yes.
So I'm glad that you clarified that.
Yes, I needed to do that.
But, no, it's just hard because, you know, you just have a lot of stipulations and, you know, you got to be on.
You know, there's a clock in front of you.
I mean, it's just, it's weird.
You're looking at the camera.
You're not looking at the audience.
So already it's like an inauthentic, comedic experience, you know?
Like the energy is, you know, it's very fabricated.
People are clapped, you know, you're told to clap.
Like, it's a different muscle that you use, you know.
There's like the, you got to.
to play to the camera muscle and then there's the this is what I do at the club muscle.
I got to, I went to, uh, late night taping.
I went to see the Stephen Colbert program a few months ago, six months ago maybe.
And, uh, thank you to, I think past Jordan Jesse go guest Brian Stack, right?
Brian's been on Jordan Jesse Go, hasn't he?
Uh, yeah, I think he has.
So that sounds right.
One of the nicest men in show business was right around the Colbert program for years.
And, uh, went to the,
Colbert taping.
And it was a weird one because the main guest on that episode, they had like taped remotely
or taped the previous night or something.
Like something had happened.
And it was like a big, it was like Julia Roberts or something.
And so they had like accommodated that that big star by doing something weird.
And so it was basically just a monologue, a desk piece, and a music guest.
there was no interview segment.
But the music guest was John Fogarty from Creedence Clearwater Revival.
And I've never, and we were in the front row.
Thanks, thanks Brian Stack.
And I'm like, here I am sitting 20 feet from one of the greatest American popular musicians of the century.
You know, one of the 100 greatest or whatever, you know, the guy that wrote Proud Mary.
And a crowd that wanted to see it, but it is still like the weirdest performance context you could ever see it.
And he did three or four songs because Colbert was so excited to have him there and they like shoot extra shit for the internet and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But like truly you cannot tell how much you're supposed to enjoy what's happening.
Like, would I get in trouble if I stood up?
am I supposed to be dancing with all these like ladies who are in town from Syracuse?
Like the, you know, the lady booster club of Syracuse that's sitting in my row with me?
Like, it is really odd.
Yeah, it is. It's surreal.
Because it's like the idea is you should, whatever you're doing, you need to be doing it for the camera if you're the one that's performing.
You're not doing it for the audience.
So you could leave being like, oh, they really suck.
but then you see it on TV, you're like, oh, I see.
A lot of people have that same complaint, Jesse, about our show, like they don't really know what to do.
I'm going to say it here.
I know we haven't clarified in 20 years of doing the show.
We want you to get up and dance.
Yes.
Thank you.
Don't feel like you have to be polite.
Get up.
Dance like nobody's watching.
I like that.
Do you want to take a little break, let people get on them dancing shoes and then come back for some more?
Yeah, I think we'll have
Who was it?
Grandmaster Flash?
Who was the DJ on the Ellen show?
Was Grandmaster Flash the DJ on the Ellen show at some point?
Ellen went through a lot of DJs.
Various, it was usually like a handsome young guy when I was there,
and there were a couple of them.
But maybe she had more credible.
Some handsome young men of all the races.
Sounds like my DMs.
Sounds like my DMs.
Oh, snap.
Thank you.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse Go.
Yes.
It's Jordan Jesse Go.

Jordan, it's the dad season.
I don't know.
Do you have any children?
No, I don't have any children.
I got to get a son.
I'm working on it.
There you go, listener.
That's the thing you like for some reason.
If there's a dad in your life, be it a dad, Jordan, or in your case, a Brad.
Mm-hmm.
It's probably the perfect time to get them a Father's Day gift.
if they're always telling stories about the good old days,
why not hit a home run with them by fill in one of these carver mat frames
or your other preferred aura frame with pictures of the good old days,
the most thoughtful gift imaginable,
demonstrating conclusively that you've been listening to them this whole time.
You could hardly find a better gift than one of these aura frames.
The aura flames, they look great.
They're so easy to make work right.
It's not a hassle at all.
Really like the perfect gift.
It really, really is.
I have given aura frames as gifts before.
I have received aura frames as gifts before.
They do look really cool.
They are very easy to use, very easy to load with all your digital photos.
If you got a family member that's not super tech savvy, it's easy for them to use.
You can set it up for them and you can load all them photos for everybody to see.

Jordan, it's also it's dads and grad season,
so I want to encourage people to hit up to put this on shop,
my antique and vintage store,
because it is the ultimate place to shop for dads and grads.
I mean, it's a great place to shop for wedding gifts as well,
bridesmaids and groomsmen's gifts,
but I'm just focusing right now on dads and grads.
Look, the reality is, do these people need another copy of fucking,
oh, the places you'll go?
No, they don't even need one copy of, oh, the places you'll go.
is you'll go.
They need another mug that says number one dad?
Well, they need one mug like that.
They do need a mug like that.
They need one to let them know that they're number one.
But if you accidentally buy them a second one,
it pierces the veil, the presumption that there's only one of those mugs in the world
that goes to the number one dad and all of a sudden they'll realize this is just something
you bought on Tameau or whatever.
So go to put this on shop.com and get something special for those dads and grads in your life.
Hey, if you're listening to this the week, it comes out, and you're in Toronto.
You can come see me at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival on June 6th and 7th.
That is a free Comic-Con over there at 50 Carlton Street.
It's going to be a ton of fun.
And if you're shopping at your local comic book store, soon, make sure to get copies of the amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Verity, and Predator Bloodshed.
All of that, on stands, it's comics.
I wrote them.
is good for you. Okay.
It's comics. Jordan wrote them.
It's good for you.
It's good for you.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jessica.
La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
It's The The The Good Heart.
Jordan Morris Boy Detective.
I'm Kimberly Clark, the bottom of a crockpot.
What's your number one soup?
I'm sorry that we talked about this and I forgot, but...
It changes.
Right now.
It's a moment in time.
We're just going to acknowledge this is a moment in time.
It's sand passing through our fingers.
Tortilla.
Tortilla soup.
I love a tortilla soup.
You know who has a good tortilla soup, too, is...
Dang, gone it.
Of course, I can't think of the name.
Spago.
No, it's the chicken place.
The chicken...
Cuckaroo.
Not Cuckaroo.
Not Cuckaroo.
R-I-P, man.
Yeah.
That's gone.
I'll tell you, our friend Hayes Davenport from Hollywood Handbook, one of the smartest, funniest guys.
Mm-hmm.
He just started a new web, is helping to start a new Los Angeles content website called L.A. Material.
Okay.
Over there at L.A. Material, first big Hayes-Davnport piece I see.
It's the betrayal of Cuckoooooo.
Because Cuckoooooo, the famous skinless chicken restaurant,
of Los Angeles
with the Memphis-style logo,
the middle-brow Spago.
The cuckoooooo
announced it was reopening
two years ago
and since then has not reopened.
You know what side I like
the squash?
At the cuckaroo?
Listen.
When they were like mush it up,
come on.
I mean, where,
what other chain can you get squash at?
No one else did squash.
They were brave enough
to do squash.
when others were saying
you can't do squash at this scale.
And it hit every time.
And they said, fucking watch us.
Thank you.
The squash hit different.
What is at the cuckaroo?
At the cuckaroo.
When is it at the cuckaroo?
The squash hit different.
Listen, I saw Queen Latifah and the cuckaroo.
That's a good, that's a good celebrity.
How many times if you come on a show, you never mentioned you saw Latifah at Cuckeroon?
Listen, it was, could I tell you?
tell you it was the one in uh to luca i saw big daddy cane at the california pizza kitchen
it was the one in tuluka late uh-huh it was right after she had gotten a DUI oh no
it was like right after the news of that happening she took the bus to the kookaroo she
ain't take no damn bus i don't think but i wrote her a note right and i wrote you're an inspiration
to, I don't know, I forgot what I wrote in it, but I gave it to her.
She was on the phone and I, I didn't want to interrupt her phone phone.
You're right.
You're an inspiration, you're an inspiration to me.
P.S. Try the squash.
You might be reluctant to try squash from a chain restaurant.
That's hilarious.
I wrote her note because I felt bad because I knew she was going through it.
You wrote on the note, you're an inspiration to all of us impaired drivers.
Stop!
You're so bad.
You love to drive Trump.
We wish Queen Latifah nothing but the best.
The best, and I was a PA at the time on the Drew Carey show, and she was there.
You know what her middle name is, Jordan?
Talent, just like Mr. James Corden.
Hello, my baby.
Now I'm worried people will think that I don't think Queen Latifah is talented.
I do think Queen Latif is.
She's extraordinary.
James Gordon is talented, too.
Sure.
Sure.
Queen Latifah.
Pro-union, we don't know.
Probably.
UNITY is what you would say at the...
You know what?
On the picket line.
That points to...
That points to pro-union.
Oh, and we should mention during a stop-down, Gabe Mara producing today, let us know that the chain restaurant with the good tortilla soup is El Pollo Loco.
El Pollo.
What's in a tortilla soup?
Oh, chicken.
Tomatoes?
They do cilantro in there.
I mean, it depends.
The one at El Pollo loco is very brothy.
Okay.
And they put their chicken in there.
So, you know, their chicken is good, right?
I mean, I hear this stuff is loco.
It's crazy good.
And they dice the chicken up and then they have the cohita cheese.
They put all that on the side and you put that on top of it with the tortilla strips.
It's banging.
So good.
But then there's some people that do tortilla soups where it's more of like a puree.
and the sauce has like an orangey.
There's tomato.
Then that's when the tomato gets involved.
So there doesn't have a tomato element?
No, there's no tomato element in the tortilla soup at El Puyo loco.
It's delicious.
I highly recommend it.
Crazy good.
Kimberly Clark says.
That's a good tip.
Jordan.
We, I think if we had that soup, you know what we would say?
What a momentous occasion.
Yes, we would say, wonderful segue.
Yeah, and then we would get out our phone and we'd dial two zero six, nine, eight four, four fun, or we record a voice memo and send it to JJGo at maximum fun.org.
Here is the call.
Hi, this is Robbie in Seattle.
I'm calling with a momentous occasion.
It's also sort of some early summer boy content.
I'm a week late to this, but I bought a sousaphone last week, and I'm pretty excited about it.
I've been wanting one for a while, and now I have one.
That's it.
Love you.
Bye.
Fucking hey, Robbie.
Now we're living.
Yeah.
I mean, listen, our listeners, gun to our listeners, aren't they?
Where is he storing that?
Man, I'll tell you what.
I went to see Paul F. Tompkins' Varietopia show.
And, I mean, talk about a guy who's middle name is talent.
I don't think, look, I don't have to convince an alternative comedy podcast audience of the talent of the great Paul F. Tompkins.
He's obviously one of the greats.
Absolutely.
And it was a wonderful.
And you should hear his rendition of, hello my baby, hello, my honey.
Actually, I bet he does do that anyway.
Yeah, very well.
Once he's done doing Danny Boy, yeah.
It was a wonderful show all around.
Great time had by all our friend, Open Mike Eagle, another pastor and Jesse Go guest.
he was there. He sang a song on the show.
Did he?
He sang, yeah.
Yeah, singing.
He sang a singing song.
He has a good voice, actually.
He's a pretty strong singer.
It's a little annoying.
It's like when one time we did the Judge John Hodgman show and Jean Gray sang Minnie the moocher.
And he was like, fuck.
She's like better at singing than she is at rapping.
Like, how is this even possible?
Give me a fucking break, dude.
That's amazing.
E's off.
I feel like more rappers than not know how to sing.
I didn't mean to interrupt you.
Okay.
So anyway, I'm at this Paul F. Tomkin show.
There's a lot of great things about this show.
A lot of good fun to be had.
A lot of fun comedy bits.
Oh, look, here comes crampus.
It's a lot of fun.
Okay, a lot of fun was had.
Number one, somehow, you know,
Paul Fisdomkins has this crack band on the show.
Absolute crack band.
One of the elements of this crack band is a hot babe
who plays a sousaphone.
Amazing.
A fucking hot babe
playing a sousap...
And ripping it.
No bass guitar necessary.
That's what I.
Because they got a babe
playing a sousaphone.
Incredible stuff.
I love that. I love that.
Congratulations to our listener
who just got one.
I wonder how much they cost.
Well, okay.
Great news.
We're bringing back
the airplane ticket game, Jordan.
Oh.
Cost of a sousaphone.
Mm-hmm.
And we're talking about
the top-selling sousaphone on the Guitar Center website.
Okay.
That's like the number one music instrument retail are probably in the United States, right?
Yeah.
Gotta be.
Probably.
So I can't name another one.
So if we send Gabe Mara to Guitar Center.com, have them type in sousaphone, sort by bestselling, what that top sousaphone is going to set you back.
I'm going to go first because I'm not afraid.
I'm going to say that's going to set you back.
shit I shouldn't have gone first
$1,100
I think it might be more
yeah Kim I guess you're the only one of us
that plays a blowing instrument
so I mean Kim you love
I like how you said that
I'm like it's a sousaphone a woodwind
It's a brass
You just gave us the biggest
The biggest non-audible take
Just you like
You did like a full like eye roll
head moving backward and forward.
You did like a one eyebrow raise.
You narrowed your eyes.
Just squinted us.
We found a replacement for the gym from the office gift.
It's Kim Clark being told she plays blowing instruments.
Blowing history.
I think we've found a replacement for seven of them in a row.
Kimberly, what do you think is a clarinetist?
Yeah.
First of all, what's your clarinet said you back?
And tenor sacks?
You got a tenor sacks at the house, too?
No, I'm about to get one, though.
Because I do enjoy a video of you in like a public park playing my clarinet.
Yeah, playing like my favorite things on clarinet or something.
Yeah, it's so much fun.
I love doing that.
It's a party instrument.
It is.
Ask Benny Goodman.
It's a wood wind, right?
You would say it's a woodwind.
Wanda Sykes called it the white man saxophone in her new special.
That's fair.
You got to watch it.
It's really good.
What a legend.
Susophone.
I think it's going to set you back between $4,000, possibly.
Three to $4,000 for a sousaphone.
I might be wrong. I don't play brass.
You got to pick a number.
$3,000.
$3,000.
You think that's going to be the top selling sousaphone?
I mean, I think you could...
The top selling?
Is it new or is it used?
This is a new sousaphone.
Yeah, I would say three.
or more, it could be higher than that.
I was going to, my original guess was closer to Jesse's.
My original guess was 1,300.
And I guess I'll go with it now, but yeah, I, maybe I would guess that Kim, since you've shopped for comparable things, you probably know a little bit better.
But yeah, maybe I'm interested to see. Gabe, do you have an answer for us?
Yes, I do.
the most popular by relevance is 6,5999.
And the absolute top of the line is 12,859.
I'm not shot.
And that's a lot of instrument.
That's what they call it marching money.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Yeah, instruments are not cheap.
Especially new ones.
I figured there's like a, you know, there's like a basic model, I thought.
Yeah, they have like, like, yeah, they have like, like, like, you know, there's, there's, there's like a basic model. I thought.
Yeah, they have, like, like, like, like, yeah, they have.
Yeah, I have.
like the student models.
I thought, and those suck.
Oh, wow.
Clark takes on students.
They don't suck.
In profane diatribe.
They don't suck per se, but they like,
they blow.
You know, you just can't, they blow, but they don't,
you know, you can't do any special blowing with it.
No.
That's true.
That's a good point.
I'm surprised one of our listeners has that kind of money to throw around.
That part.
I mean, do you make that much being a children's librarian?
I bet.
Especially when you spend so much of your money on your tattoos.
Sure.
I got to tell you, I think, I'm going to say that this is the way that Jerry,
I don't remember exactly what his name is, so I'm going to say it was Jerry.
Something like that.
I'm going to say that what happened with Jerry is it's like when you move into a new apartment
and there's a piano already there.
You just get the piano
because it costs more to bring the piano
to the next apartment
than it would to just get a new piano
at the new apartment.
Yes.
And leave the old piano there.
I think Jerry moved into an apartment
that already had a sousaphone head
and just took over the lease.
Just put his mouth on
and started to blow.
Just got the blowing.
Yeah.
Well, congratulations, Jerry,
on your good fourth.
fortune, whether it was obtained through hard work or you just accidentally moved into an apartment
that had a sousaphone in it. Do you think if Jerry learns to play a good song on the
sousaphone that you'd be willing to bring back Jordan? Jordan plays a song? Jordan sings a song.
Yeah. Let's see. What could he? Yeah. I mean, I'll, yeah, Jerry, if you're out there,
learn to play something simple and probably just to be safe, public domain, right? I mean, you know,
Things that Spotify was taken down.
We did the old, though, that I don't think a happy birthday in the public domain?
I think it is.
Okay.
I think it's back, baby.
Okay.
Or just got put there or something.
I mean, we always used to do, I remember doing the old gray mayor.
That's, I mean, a public domain classic, right?
Because she hate what she used to be.
Hate what she used to be.
I mean, I think there's a lot, probably a lot of Stephen Foster classics.
Just pick one of the less diet.
elect-oriented ones.
Let's say.
No, no, no. I will be
bringing out my thousands of voices
that I've known for.
Great. Thank God.
The new Al Jolson, talk about entertainment.
Oh, yeah.
I think we're looking for something
from roughly 1900
is a sort of broad...
I mean, hello my baby.
That could be a good one.
That might be a little fast to play on a sousophone.
You know what I mean?
That is fast.
That's fair staccato.
Maybe, oh, my darling.
Oh, Clementine, my darling.
Okay, learn to play Clementine on the, learn to play Clementine on the sousaphone.
Yeah.
And drop us an email at JJGoat maximum fun.org.
Now, we're sort of between producers, so you're going to have to explain what the
fuck is going on.
Sure.
Because whoever reads this email is not going to be the person who is not going to be
Gabe who's sitting on the boards listening to this right now.
and God knows nobody else at maximum fun
is listen to our program.
Because you imagine getting that randomly.
Like, what the hell is this?
Great.
The title of the subject line is sousaphone.
And it just says, I learned Clementine.
Yeah, that would be great.
And yeah, keep sending the email too.
So send it and then just send it repeatedly every couple months.
Yeah, I can agree to that.
If this listener can agree to play,
my darling Clementine, I will sing along to it.
That sounds great.
I think we can set that up.
I think with the advancements in electronic communication technology since we last pursued this 17 years ago,
I think we're going to do great.
And yeah, just send that email once a day for a few months.
And eventually we will have gotten the Stankas boys in here and hired a new producer,
our next two goals for our lives.
Right?
Keep listening, folks.
Those two things may happen.
When you have a moment of shame, like you, for example, get hired to be the producer of Jordan Jesse Go or spend your food money on sousaphone.
Give us a call, 206-9844 Fun or just send a voice memo to JJGo at maximum fund.org, as has this person.
Hello, Jordan, Jesse, and guest.
I'm going to guess Steve Inskeep.
This is Avi calling in from Vermont.
I am calling in with a moment of shame.
I'm a preschool teacher.
And the other day, I was kicking around a ball with one of my kiddos.
And I kicked the ball, bit too hard.
It curved, bounced off our playhouse, and hit his twin brother square in the face.
This all happened about five minutes before their mom came to pick them up.
He was fine, got a nice pack, didn't leave a mark as far as I could tell, but that did not feel great.
Anyway, love the show.
Thanks.
Love you guys.
Bye.
Bye, Avi.
Love you too.
Avi has the best voice of anyone who's called in on the program ever, I would say.
I feel like Avi has the voice of like a gifted voiceover actor.
You know what I mean?
Not like an announcer voice.
No.
Like a magical,
distinctive world of wonder voice.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It was good.
It was pleasant.
Good voice for a preschool teacher.
Yeah.
I think so too.
I do think that trying to kick a ball to one child,
it bouncing off a playhouse and hitting that child's twin sibling in the face is devilry.
That's an act of God.
I mean.
That's something.
that there's a bubbling cauldron involved in whatever led that turn of events to take place,
I would say.
Right?
Somebody stuck a pin into something, a doll of someone or something.
The twin element is too rich to ignore.
Right.
Yeah.
And I think this proves that one of the twins is the evil one.
And now it's just time to find out which one.
Oh, that's a good question.
It might not necessarily be the one that got hit.
What if the one who didn't get hit is the evil one?
He was willing to use a spell.
An evil spell.
Yeah, it's an omen thing, a bad seed thing, sure.
Yeah, bad seed.
Bad seed.
You know it's a good seed?
Sunflower, especially ranch flavored.
Oh, fun to chew.
How can't they get the flavoring on the seed itself, not the outside?
Can I tell you the truth?
And the thing about a sunflower seed never kills its parents like those bad seeds.
Thank you.
That's a good point.
I played baseball for, I'm good.
Nine years or something, ten years, I don't know, until I was 14 or 15.
And I never learned how to eat sunflowers.
flower seeds properly.
Really?
I was just eating the whole thing the whole time.
Some people do that, though.
That's not right.
That's not wrong.
But it is if you're playing baseball, the only skill that they really expect you to have and
don't teach you is to be able to put a bunch of sunflower seeds in your mouth and spit out
the shells one at a time as you eat the seeds.
Okay.
That is like the number, like the quality of a baseball player is judged by how long.
large the pile of spent sunflower seeds is next to that.
Really? I didn't know that.
Yeah, that's true.
Do people shake up sunflower seeds?
Oh, yeah.
Big time.
Oh, yeah.
That's how my dad used to eat cashews.
He would shake them.
I'm like, why are you shaking them?
Yeah, it's like shaking your, like your wine or like, that's how he did his cashews.
It's good luck.
It's good luck.
So you can get a, you can get a seven on your nuts.
Once again, it's cashews for Mr. Clark.
Yeah, we shake them and then eat them.
Oh, snake eyes, I got pecans.
You guys want to take a little break and shake our nuts and then come back and finish it up?
Well, Jordan, you and I can shake our nuts.
Kimberly's going to be focusing on blowing.
Yeah, I'll blow.
We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jessica.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Guys.
La, la, la, la, la.
La.
International Waters is back.
Baby.
Do you like fun, silly conversations?
Do you like fun, silly games?
We got them both.
And it's on International Waters.
I am the host, Dave Holmes.
This is a panel show that pits American and British comics against each other in a lively
and hilarious competition.
What is gentlemen's relish?
Who is Bagpuss?
Why is the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile so emotionally resonant?
And why doesn't American cheese have its own anthem?
Get the answers and be left with numerous questions about that and so much more nonsense
and or codswallop.
twice a month here on international waters.
You can catch international waters on maximum fun.org or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey Alexis.
Hey Ella.
What animal has the most teeth?
I would guess a shark.
A snail.
No, snails don't have teeth.
They have thousands and they are freaky looking.
No, I don't want that to be true.
Okay.
Did you know that the hippocampus in your brain is named after the half horse, half fish,
sea creature found in Greek mythology?
I didn't know that, but we're meant to be doing animal trivia and hippocampus isn't a real animal.
Well, that doesn't matter on comfort creatures.
You're right, it doesn't matter at all.
Comfort creatures is a cozy show for lovers of animals of all shapes and sizes, real and unreal.

It's Jordan Jesse Goh. I'm Jesse Thorne, America's Radio, sweetheart.
Jordan Morris boy detective
Kimberly Clark
Michael Jackson's curl activator
I haven't seen Michael yet
Are you in it?
You gotta see it
Oh I gotta see it
God I was up for that
Jayfar is so good
You're up for it Jesse
I gotta see your audition tape
It was a self tape
I sent in a self tape
Yo
They called me back but you know what
What happened?
They gave your majesty veto power.
He did not like my performance.
He did not like my performance.
Damn.
Janet liked me.
Your majesty didn't like me.
Didn't like you.
No.
Next time.
Maybe the sequel.
I was at the physical therapy gym, Jordan.
Mm-hmm.
Not to brag.
I was improving my core strength.
Mm-hmm.
That Janet Jackson song came on,
All the girls in the party, look at their party,
shaking out of thing.
You got a nice package
You're all right
I have to ride
Tonight
That song
Fucking brings up the mood in a room
Just
Everybody was fucking beaming
To get a visit from their friend
The great Janet Jackson
I bet
That's a good song
Just made everybody happy in there
Everybody was happy
There's too many Kanye West songs
Going on in the physical therapy gym
I'll tell you both that
Too many Kanye West
songs. Too many Kanye West songs. We can leave them behind. We can take a break for a while.
She's sample Luther Vandros in that song. Oh, really? It's a fun fact. The glow of, I think it was
called the glow of love or something like that. That's nice. Yeah. Kimberly Clark, of course you can
see her around Burbank. You can see me in Burbank. You can see me all over LA. I mean, Toluca
Lake as well. Love Toluca Lake. I'm in Tulsa Lake a lot. Anywhere that sells soup, we're looking at
You, Marie Callenders.
They got a Trader Joe's there.
Yes.
They got my old therapist.
Dr. Carr was in Toluca Lake.
Milton Edie's dry cleaner is there.
Oh, I love me.
Milton Edie's.
They got the popcorn in there and the little cookies and juice.
Incredible.
And let's not forget, Paddies with One Tea.
Yes.
That bothers me, by the way.
I think that the story behind Paddies with One Tea, the Toluca Lake Institution Diner,
is that it used to be called something else
that usually only has one T
and they bought it and they just had to change
one letter because it was cheaper.
That's what I've heard about Patty.
It was like called, I don't know what you would have
that would just be blank A T-Y-S.
Yeah, maybe it was something like that.
And then they were like, we can change it
by just changing one letter.
Anyway, is that true?
I don't know.
But I like to think about it
every time I drive by patties with one T.
Kimberly Clark has a comedy special album recording

She really made it great
and I was like, hey Hannah,
I'm not,
Look, I know that you're working on an hourly basis here,
but I also happen to know you're a professional singer-songwriter.
You wouldn't be down to record an 18-second song

You know what I saw?
Hmm.
Car roof dog.
Oh, the car was stationary.
Okay.
Don't worry about the, don't worry about the dog.
It was a stationary car, but it was just a dog that was just hanging in the front yard of his house,
standing on top of his owner, on the roof of his owner's car.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Just hanging out, just surveying the scene.
It was great.
It was a big husky.
That's cute.
Beautiful husky.
It was wonderful.
Okay.
