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 socks and run you. It's Jordan Jesse Goh. I am Jesse Thorn, America's radio sweetheart. Jordan Morris, rising and grinding. Oh, I know, Jordan, if I know one thing about you, it's of course that you have curly hair. Yeah.

But if I know two things about you, it's the curly hair and your grind set. That's right, I have a grind set. This is gonna be my year. This is gonna be my year. I've already, I've decided maybe a little bit late, but whatever, I'm making up for lost time. I'm rising, I'm grinding, and it's all thanks to LinkedIn.

I mean, Jordan, every morning I know you get up at four, then you write something in a book, and need a banana or something. Yes, morning pages, and I watch a bootleg of MTV's The Grind. That's right, I'm masturbating to the same stuff I was when I was 12. I've always said you were the downtown Julie Brown

on podcast. That's right, that's right. And this is the proof. No, you know, I think, again, I wanna have a big year, I've always said you were the downtown Julie Brown on podcast. That's right. That's right. And this is the proof. No, you know, I think, again, I want to have a big year. I want this to be the year of me. So I'm on LinkedIn. I'm checking stuff out, just like learning from various founders. You know, like founders.

That's who I want to take advice from. Founders are the real heroes. Founders, exactly. What you got to do is build value and plan an exit strategy, baby. So yeah, and also, you know... Or just work with your friend from college for 25 years. Sure. Just do the same shit you were doing when you were 19, 25 years later.

Wait a minute, we can exit this? Is that Stephen? Shut it down. Jordan, you haven't heard? The sweet release of Diss. Wow. Okay. So anyway, so I, you you know again, I'm on LinkedIn I'm out there just learning from founders There's also some good like aggregators if you don't like if you just want to like cut through the mess

You're talking about NPR sky-rocks what no I'm talking about a great subreddit called r slash LinkedIn lunatics Oh great. I broke this coaster. That's okay. This is an expensive coaster. Oh very Fuck anyways extremely expensive. I spent $68 on my god. Well hey listen. I'm gonna be a billionaire by the end of the year, so put it on my tab right LinkedIn lunatics is a good subreddit where they catalog and I mean a lunatic sounds kind of the derogatory I think these people are visionaries right but I mean, lunatic sounds kind of like derogatory. I think these people are visionaries. Right. But we- I mean, isn't it great to be a little bit of both?

You know what I mean? You know, yeah, genius and madness. They are twins in the crib, you see. They are twins in the crib. Oh, what's that in the crib? Twins? Tis genius and madness. One tis genius, the other tis madness. And they suck at the same teat you see.

Tar are they? Yes, tar. Twas teat. Whatever. So on LinkedIn Lunatics, I saw this really inspirational post. This is from Vitaly Dodonov. He's the co-founder at Stan building a billion dollar company rocket rocket ship emoji. Oh, okay. Yeah. So I imagine it's like blasting off to the stars.

So wait, at Stan? At Stan building a one billion dollar company rocket ship emoji. That's his. Thanks. That's his affili a $1 billion company rocket ship emoji. That's his. Thanks. That's his affiliation? Sure. I don't know really what all this stuff is. And then underneath there it just says, it just says Rite Aid.

This is a day in the life running a $30 million ARR startup. Do I know what that is? No. Do I think this guy is smart for doing this? Yes. Okay. So this is his little like calendar what he does in a day I get up at 5 a.m Not cuz I like it because I need it running a startup takes a lot out of you and I treasure those quiet morning hours for myself

515 breakfast, I love breakfast Clock six o'clock. Six o'clock. Lunch. What can I say? I'm a lunch freak. Seven o'clock. Second breakfast?

I'm a hobbit. No, six o'clock. Six o'clock gym, seven o'clock office. I'm often the first one there, but not always. And those days make me proud. So yeah, he's encouraged his employees to show up before 7am, 7am to 8am, he's at the office, 7am to 8am, reading. I read every morning religiously, so he's just reading in the office.

Okay, I was going to guess luxurious crank time. No, reading. Last year I read 52 books. Proud of that one. Eight o'clock, LinkedIn. No one can tell your story better than you. I live an interesting life. Sharing what I learn is my way of giving back.

So the guy sits on LinkedIn for an hour. Nine o'clock, deep focus time. 12 to one, lunch with the team. Deep focus time is the luxurious crank? That's probably the crank stuff. Yeah, yeah. Okay. 12 to one, lunch with the team. My focus time is the luxury. That's probably the crank stuff. Yeah. 12 to 1 lunch with the team. My company is built on relationships.

Laugh, eat, and spark joy. Yeah. Those are all the reports. Sure. 1 to 5 meetings, internal, external. 5 o'clock, hard stop on meetings. By then, I'm running on fumes. My Slack is overflowing.

5 to 7, follow up on Slack, clear my inbox. Eight o'clock, home. The last hour is for family, uninterrupted. Nine o'clock, bedtime. Lather, rinse, repeat. Can I note a few conspicuous tips and tricks that I'm learning about startup culture? Because obviously I'm a failed entrepreneur,

having converted my company to a worker-owned cooperative. But I'm seeing a few strategies I could have pursued. First of all, I have never had that solid daily hour with my family. That's what you need to do, Jesse. Like, ultimately, I mean, it's a sacrifice. It's a sacrifice. But it's worth it to spend one hour with your family.

Now, another thing that I'm noticing here is that a lot of the hours of the day I spent working. So I'm thinking, what if instead of working, I read a book. And then dicked around on LinkedIn. Dicked around on LinkedIn. And then had a bunch of meetings and then went home. Yeah, for an hour with your family and then gone to sleep.

I was busy doing and making things. Yes, that's where you fucked up. Sorry, that sounds a little harsh. You fucked up. I thought I lived an interesting life No, but our no Demetri. What's this? Yes Yes, let's say that that guy is

That's why he can put the rocket ship emoji in his bio. Yeah, cuz he's fucking shooting to the stars That's another mistake. I may yeah, you put the wrong emoji in your bio. You put Black Santa in there. I put Juju Train. Oh yeah, hard to resist. I make all the stops. Hard to resist. Yeah.

I also eat coal. Do you want to ask our guest what his grind set is like? This guy is incredible. This guy is legendary for his grind set. You know him from one of the world's most popular comedy podcasts, How Did This Get Made? You know him from his many appearances in film and television. You know him as one of the taskmasters of Taskmaster,

Jason Manzoukas. Gentlemen, thank you. What a delight, what a delight. To be here, this is how I wanna be executing, right? Grindset Mindset, here we are, 8 p.m. on a Sunday, recording this podcast. You know what other people are doing? You know who rested today?

God. You know who's not resting today? These three bros who are here to do the Lord's work. Thank you. The podcast. Steven doing whatever the fuck it is he does. Yeah, Steven pushing buttons. God's at home watching 60 minutes.

Steven, the other day, Steven said to me, he's like, Can I spend 90 minutes with my family? And I was like, shut up and press the button. Yeah. Come on, Steven, you button. And he did, he did a great job. That's why you earned that rocket chip emoji next to your name, buddy.

Thank you, thank you. Also, hey, Steven, this is your family now. Yeah, exactly. That's what you gotta start realizing. And we all want a Christmas present. You better give us a Christmas present. You want to be part of big podcasts, Steven? Well, be glad you moved from a very popular podcast

to this not-that-popular podcast. Find your birth dad and shove him. Find your birth dad and shove him down. Two hands. Wait, can one of you be my dad? Hmm, not it. No, not it. Yeah, I'll do it.

Yay, thank you. I'll do it. Jason. Gents. I fucking screamed when they announced you were gonna be on Taskmaster. Holy shit, and I sat on that for a long time. Yeah.

Very hard. Very hard to not scream it from the rooftops. I think given our audience, we probably don't have to explain Taskmaster to many people. Can I tell you something? Yes. All I've ever heard in my life

from my colleagues at Maximum Fun is about Taskmaster. Right. I had a sort of reflexive resistance to it and have thus never seen it. Yeah, it's one of those things where you get the hard recommendations and then you're, yeah, you put up the wall, you're like,

this cannot be as good as you said. It's also, for a very long time, been one of those things that people would proselytize about but was very hard to get. And then it all became like a deluge put on YouTube. And then it became very accessible. But before that, it was, it was something that people would talk about a lot,

but you had to kind of seek out if you were here. Yeah, and definitely like, you know, there's a certain kind of like American comedy fan who is like, I watched The British Office and I haven't watched, you know, like there's that kind of person who will recommend it to you. I also, I'm gonna be frank, anytime I'm watching a British comedy thing. I do like to watch British comedy things

But anytime I'm watching a British comedy thing. I'm looking at it thinking is that person a turf? Are they a turf? Is he a turf? Is she a turf? Yeah, I would say no turf's involved You're mostly just turf spotting. Yeah When you're watching British things. Yeah, I don't think anybody, I don't think there's any turfs in the cast of Tazmaster. But it is, I will say, like, it was a show that was, for panel shows, one of the totemic shows over there.

It is massive there. And it's a thing that we just don't have here. We don't have that kind of a panel show setup where it is a comedian's hangout show. Where yes, there's some ostensible kind of game element to it. Don't they ever like make things out of ping pong balls or something? Absolutely, sometimes there's making things

out of ping pong balls. Sometimes there's some version of what looks like a scavenger hunt. Usually there's some version of you look foolish doing a pretend play or dress up character. Eating a donut off a rope. Yes, all different manner of things that are meant to humiliate you, embarrass you,

and otherwise make you fail at the task they've set forth. They are endeavoring to make you look foolish and then pit you against each other in the studio. Is the goal how much of the donut you can eat? Yeah, but then your prize is a delicious donut. Oh, okay, great. I, kind of similar to you, Jesse, I had it recommended to me a lot

and kind of avoided it because of that. And then, this year, rough start to the year. But this is your year, as you're saying. Yeah, this is gonna be my year from here on now because of my new grindset. Here's the thing, what a bold thing to be like, what is absolutely undeniably a year in which we are starting from a profound deficit.

You are saying, this will be my year. I'm gonna try and get family time down to 30 minutes. I love this for you. And then I'm just gonna watch Family Guy. Great. And that's it. I'm not gonna talk to my mom. Family Guy time is what I mean. Family Guy time.

Right? I'm Stewie, Brian, Lois. But I got a... You've been focusing on your LinkedIn hours? Mm-hmm. I'm all about Facebook this year. Wow. Okay.

Just pivoting back to Facebook. Yeah. Where the real minion memes are. Oh, I'm on Prodigy. Whoa! I'm on Prodigy and I'm just connecting with people over a dial-up. Okay, what's your number? I think Prodigy was just a long series of numbers.

Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, it was for sure that. Yeah. Oh, this was the first time I feel like I knew someone who was online was Prodigy. Just think about the guy who invented AOL got rich because he looked at Prodigy and he said, what if we did that, but instead of a 14 digit number, we let people use letters and choose them. Outrageous.

And we mailed everybody CD-ROMs. The mail is essential to what we do. I'm gonna, check me out on the Silk Road, everybody. I became so intensely into Taskmaster this year to the point where I'm watching New Zealand, I'm watching Australia. Yes. So I am that kind of-

Sam Campbell is like a true genius. He's so funny. True genius. Yeah, he's so, so funny. So I'm at peak Taskmaster right now. Oh, I love it. And when they announced you were gonna be on it, I flipped out.

Remember that scene in that thing you do where their song gets played on the radio for the first time? That was me running around town because Zooks is gonna be on Taskmaster. Oh, dude, thank you. That's how I felt. They kept catching me in the Taskmaster house, taking selfies with things on the walls

or in the entryway, and they would be like, wow, you really are a fan, huh? Yeah, yeah. And I was like, yes, I'm very excited to be here. Did you, when you're playing those games, like there's a game element to it, but it's bullshit, right? Like the points are very arbitrarily told. Completely, yes.

The point values are all decided months later in the studio by like an absolute fucking gigantic maniac. Right. You know, Greg Davis is just awarding points at his whim. Do you, when you're playing the games, are you thinking, I wanna win? Are you trying to be as funny as possible? I'm there because of the comedy show.

I'm not, no, I'm trying to do well because I'm also someone who loves puzzles, who loves games, who loves, so I like all that element of it. I'm not competitive necessarily, but when you're doing it, there aren't other people that are doing it against you. You're just against a clock or against yourself.

So yes, you're trying to do well, but you also know kind of like the baking show Nailed It. You're just against a clock or against yourself. So yes, you're trying to do well, but you also know kind of like the baking show Nailed It. Nailed It is to like a Great British Bake Off or something. Those people on Nailed It are amateur bakers who are at a disadvantage to doing the job well, and their failure is the point of the show. And so Taskmaster has that element to it as well.

Like failure is guaranteed. It's just, how do you wanna fail? Sure. It's in England. What do you- Oh, yes. If you're listening to this, get ready. These fuckers talk with those fucking Shakespeare accents. Oh my God.

Don't worry, I told them, knock it off. Do you like hanging in the UK? Oh, it's fun as hell. Wait, you're an England Taskmaster? Yeah. They had an American Taskmaster. Jesse, they don't have an American Taskmaster. They had for one season, right?

Yes, Reggie did one. Reggie Watts hosted it. An unsuccessful iteration of the show that changed, altered too many of the core components of the show and just kind of didn't work. But yeah, are you the first American who's ever been on the show? I'm the first American who's gone over to do the show. There have been London-based, there have been at least a couple

of London-based American comedians who've done it, but I think I'm the first person that's gone over to do it, something like that. Did you meet Bob Mortimer? Oh boy, do I wish. I would have killed to meet Bob Mortimer, a true hero. Bob Mortimer, British comedian Bob Mortimer, wrote a novel and I got a pitch for it for Bullseye. Right. And I emailed our friend Sarah Morgan and Emile and I'm Neil Ben Partridge, a few Englandy type people. Steven Pear tree. Ben is Welsh.

Ben is Welsh. And I said, what about this Bob Mortimer? Is this somebody that I should, and they were like, yes. And then I watched a bunch of a show where he and a friend go fishing. And I was like, oh, I see. This is the greatest man of all time. There is a, he's on a season of Taskmaster that is one of the best seasons of Taskmaster. And he tells a story at one point

about having a high anus that I cannot recommend. That it's clipped. You can just watch that clip. It is so funny. And he is so electrically funny. He's also, there's a season of a show right now on Amazon Prime. That's another British panel show.

This one hosted by Jimmy Carr and it's called Last One Laughing, I believe. Oh yeah. Yeah. Something like that, if it's not that, it's very close. And Bob Mortimer's on this first season of that and is being so fucking funny and the whole thing of it is to not laugh

and everybody's just trying to make each other laugh. Incredible stuff. Jimmy Carr, by the way, as far as I know, not a turf, just a regular asshole. Oh boy. I love it. And you were checking a spreadsheet? Yeah.

There's two columns. Wild show, but Bob Mortimer, did you end up interviewing him? I did. And he was a joy. Oh, that's awesome. He was an absolute joy. Just, it is amazing to me that in England, there are these things from like a pre-modern era

of entertainment that are just still hanging around. Bob Mortimer was in like, like, a music hall style double act in, like, the 90s. Like, that's how he became famous in England. Yeah. He has since become famous again for being amazing on panel shows. Yes.

But he did not, like, when the double act ended, he didn't really have anything to do because the other guy in the double act was the famous one. Like the other guy had added him into the into the and made it a double act. And then Bob Mortimer started going on like the one. Do I tell a lie or whatever? I lie to you. Would I lie to you and blowing people's minds?

You can watch like, like collected clips of Bob Mortimer on that show that are nuts. That is what I love YouTube for, is exposing, I feel like YouTube for Taskmaster is a great thing to recommend to people, or Bob Mortimer to people, because it's just, oh, here's 10 uninterrupted minutes of Sam Campbell being an absurd genius, you know? And that's a way to get people into the show, because it can be very hard to explain some of these shows,

even though they're dead simple premises. They seem overly complicated when you try and, you know, explain it. But if you can just send someone like seven minutes of very funny stuff, it's great. Did you get to do England stuff while you were there? Did a lot of, well, I was there, one of the pieces that I was there for,

it was when we did a, how did this get made UK tour, which we had never done, we'd never toured any place, but North America, basically. So, and that was- Just Cleveland, right? Just Cleveland and the Cleveland suburbs. Akron, yeah. Cleveland and the Cleveland suburbs, because we're at, we're all East Coast,

we came up on the East Coast, we're all New York comedians, we live in LA now, but in our hearts, in our hearts, we're Cleveland. You know, we feel like, and the show is, the show is undeniably Cleveland. You know, Akron, absolutely, you know, Guided by Voices is a big influence on us. You know, The Deal Sisters, you know,

LeBron James, of course. Yeah, yeah. Cory Snyder from the Cleveland baseball team. Okay, sure, yeah, yes, the CBT, of course, the Cleveland baseball. I mean, and lest we forget, something else from Cleveland. Oh, sure. Something else.

Yeah. Another thing. A local museum. That's right, yes. Oh, yes, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There you go, that's the one I was thinking of. Jan Wenner, are we just doing a pattern game? Are we doing the opening of a Herald?

Yeah, this is all the show is. Nothing else happens. Can't wait till second beats. Jason, maybe you've never done real comedy, but that's what we do. I love it though. It's comedy without a net. Oh, dang it, what you've never done real comedy, but that's what we do. I love it. It's comedy without a net. Oh, it's dang, what you guys do is,

scares the hell out of me, man. Yeah. It's dangerous. I'm afflied to flip the table. Oh, I wouldn't doubt it. Well, I was told before we started that this is a new table. I am.

So I'm assuming it was destroyed in a flipping incident. I am afflied to say R in the word afflied. Okay. I feel like so much like improv I am afflade to say are in the word afflade. Okay, I Feel like so much like improv and that like kind of like crowd work stand-up. It's like comedy without a net Can you imagine comedy with a net like that would be that's this I want to see that show I feel like that show would be how about also a trident. Oh, yeah Poseidon based comedy. Yes, uh-huh.

And they released some lions at a certain point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah, that's the shit I'm into. Okay, doing England things was the topic. Oh yes. Oh yeah, no, we don't have to go backwards.

We can keep rocketing forward. What kind of England things did you get up to? You know, I didn't get, I'll be honest, I'm trying to think of what did we get up to England things. We did those dates. Doing the show was as a 52 year old man running around doing nonsense physical tasks. Like there's a task that I did

that was the entirety of the day. They just are fucking with you. The entirety of the task you had to walk on your tiptoes. Which was funny for like a minute or two, but I had to do it for a very long time. And my legs for days afterwards were like, we don't wanna do anything anymore. We're cooked, we're fully donezo.

It's like when you go skiing, like I've only been skiing maybe, I may never have been skiing as an adult. Maybe I've been skiing once as an adult, but I can't remember it. But the thing that I remember about having gone skiing is that after you go skiing, when you're skiing, it seems like things are fine.

It could be challenging, but it seems fine. But you're holding it together. Yeah, and then like 30 hours later, It could be challenging, but it seems fine. But you're holding it together. Yeah. And then like 30 hours later, 36 hours later, you just fall over in a pile and can't move for four days. Yeah. You're dead. You're dead.

It's over. And I bet it's one of those things that it like, you realize how painful it was an hour later, or the next day. Oh, yes. Well, that's the injury now as an old person that is a just, you wait 30 minutes and it just is like, oh you're done, sit down for good. Yeah, it's like later in the day I'll be like,

that garbage can was too heavy, it was too heavy, I shouldn't have taken it out. My office chair, I should have not paid, I threw my back out picking up my office chair, I was like, this is not good, this is embarrassing. Yeah, office chairs are very heavy. Too heavy. If you get a quality office chair to take care of your back Yes, because your back is bad with lumbar support. Thank you Yeah, you're not and you're the I run you're hurting your back moving the chair that you got to heal your back

Jordan, I have something coming up in San Francisco. Oh my gosh, tell me more. Well, it is only the most exciting fucking event of my entire career, which is this. I get an email the other day from our friends at San Francisco SketchFest. Our friend Dave Owen of San Francisco SketchFest emails me the other day. Great guy. Great guy.

Lovely guy. Says, Jesse, I think you're going to like this. We're doing an event with Kruk and Kipe and we'd like you to moderate it. Now Jordan, I wouldn't expect you to know who Kruk and Kipe are. I don't know who they are. This is Mike Kruko and Dwayne Kuyper. They are the television broadcasters of the San Francisco Giants. They have been for the last 25 years or so. Actually a little more than 25 years at this point. These guys are fucking legends. Guys are fucking

geniuses. They're both gonna be in the Hall of Fame one day. Absolute inspirations to me and any right thinking resident of the Bay Area. On May 15th, I'm going to be hosting an evening with Kruk and Kipe in San Francisco, courtesy of SF SketchFest. Tickets available at sfsketchfest.com. I'm so fucking pumped about this. And all I can say is, if you live in the Bay Area and you're not coming to this, grab some pine meat. That's one of the things I say. Grab some pine meat. Meat? Is that, yeah, that's like an insult to somebody who's- Yeah, just like somebody who's-

Who you don't like? Yeah, somebody you don't like. Call him meat. That's great. Call him meat. Call him meat. Apparently, Kruko's, I read this article, I was prepping for this and just, there was just all these quotes from Kruko's kids about how incredible he is and what a special human being and how much they've learned about how to live life through him. One of his kids is in the Smuen Ballet, which is like one of his sons is in the

Smuen Ballet, which is like one of the best alternative ballet companies in the world. Anyway, there's all this stuff about how great Kruko is. And then there's just this one part from one of his kids who just said, yeah, until I was like 10 years old, I didn't know my name wasn't meat. That's a good one. Anyway, you can get tickets at sfsketchfest.com. It's May 15th in San Francisco. It's going to be a really great time. I'm really looking forward to it. Say hi to my mom if you come. We also have a bunch of new stuff on the put this on shop. Just put up t-shirts, sunglasses, and pants are right around the corner. So go to putthisonshop.com. Check that out. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jesse Goh. It's Jordan Jesse Goh. I am Jesse Thorne, America's Radio Sweetheart. Jordan Morris, Boy Detective.

Jason Manzucca is king of the beards. Do you? Wow. Shots fired. It's a good beard. I mean in a room full of great beards, I'm still claiming it. Yeah, it's fair. It's true.

I'm looking around. It's absolutely true. Imagining, there's a beard on, Steven's got a beard. Yeah. Oh, and everybody's beard looks great. Oh, I'm no shade to anybody's beard. Sure. Yeah, I mean, it's no quits, it's that we're all in a room and a podcast is happening.

Even if there was no equipment. I wasn't even supposed to be here. If these four bearded men. I was walking by this building and a guy said, hey, we need another guy to podcast you with a beard. Get in here. You know what? You guys wanna rank albums later?

Jordan, I feel like you're kind of being a beard essentialist here. Just because you have a beard doesn't mean you have to podcast. As long as you're home brewing, you can do anything you want. Right, exactly. You can make anybody with a beard who knows their way around yeast, you know, they're going to be fine, even if they don't have a podcast. Even if they're just vodcasting, which is video podcasting. My still exploded.

Oh, no. Oh, God. This beard is fake. It burned off. You were making a hoppy IPA. I was. Made it too hoppy. I flew too close to the sun.

Jordan, can I tell you something? Yeah. My still exploded. And I blame those revenuers! Oh boy. Old Boo-Legger Thorn. The G-Men were back again! Do you have beard care?

It's a lovely beard. Do you have oils? Do you have creams? You know, I have one beard oil that someone gave me as a gift that every once in a while I put in there, but otherwise, no, I don't. I moisturize my face with a very normal face moisturizer that mostly just gets in my beard and that's all it is. I love to moisturize my face.

That's my new shit. Oh yeah. A few years ago, I was like, uh-oh, I'm old, better have a skincare routine. You got it. Now I'm all about it. I'm basically a rich Korean lady now, the extent to which I'm committed to my skincare routine. Oh, potions and lotions. I saw your desk in there. It's just littered with stuff. Oh my God, don't get me started on unguents. Holtises? You've got holtises and sal salve wait up a little bit up my ass right now

Let me you can put lotion on your face Wait then what's that in your beer? Oh, sorry bros. It's come. Yeah, no boys That was like that was like all movies from 2005 to 2009, right? Oh man, what's that in your beard? Oh yeah, you got cum on yourself. Really, there's something about Mary really just infected us with the, oh we can show this? Oh, okay, got it.

It opened the cum door. Yes, it opened the cum door and everybody ran straight through and now all of our porn is incest. It opened the cum door. Yes, it opened the cum door and everybody ran straight through and now all of our porn is incest Or someone stuck in a dryer But that could they give me both I guess it gives me both. You know what Jordan? I just I want to take a moment to address sure. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up If you need some help out of that dryer Sometime it cost you some time ago on the program

The subject of pornography involving people stuck in dryers came yes, and I claimed I had never Seen or heard of that type of pornography, right? I will say now for myself. I also have not oh you went with it Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, and you all day every day, but I also have not. Oh you went with it. Oh yeah oh yes and you all day every day but I have also not heard of it. But I'm not surprised that it exists. So now I'm the psycho dryer guy? No not at all. So I just I want to I'm happy to be the psycho dryer guy. I want to. I need a thing. Wait are you producing it? Because you might be. Yeah I know. Guys listen I bought a bunch of Maytags from a guy. I don't know what to do with them. Your LinkedIn handle is psycho dryer guy. Yeah I't know what to do with them. Your LinkedIn handle is PsychoDryerGuy.

Yeah, I'm just trying to get this started so I can unload these Maytags. This is your plan for your big year? Yes. Is to pioneer a new porn as PsychoDryerGuy, getting the drying machine, dryer? Okay, wow. This is big.

Yeah, so I'm gonna try and get a downy sponsorship in there get them in on it So yeah This is my plan is like I got all these dryers and now I just come on my podcast to buzz market this hot new Pornography category. Did you buy these dryers from a very bored repairman? Yeah, okay. So on the program I said I had never seen or heard of this type of pornography and a lot of folks in our listing audience called bullshit on that. So I just want to say to them fuck you I had never heard or seen of that type of pornography however to come, I have since seen it.

Okay. Yeah, I'm certain, now that I'm aware of it, I will see it. You know, I will, I'm assuming, you know. But it's not, no, I've never, I, but I've got to, also, why would everyone have seen it? And your claim that you hadn't seen it seems pretty normal.

And also, Jesse, why are you tuning in to what the fan base says you have or haven't done? Oh, I just give them my email address for helpful... Huge mistake. Huge mistake. Yeah, just to correct me on identity issues, just like to let me know who I am. Like, I kind of need something to judge against. Sure, sure, sure, yeah.

It's sort of like you can't tell where your hand is in space unless you're pushing on a wall, you know what I mean? Okay. It's sort of like weighted ball training for baseball pitchers only in my case, I ask people to tell me who I am so that I'll know. Constantly being defined by the audience and the part of the audience that feels like they need to be heard. Yeah.

It's kind of like a dryer with a faulty door. Oh boy. That would never happen with a Maytag though. No it wouldn't. Or do I want it to happen in my sales pitch? I don't know, I need to figure this shit out. I am underwater on these dryers! And you're trying to promote a porn star named Maytag?

Jordan, it sounds like the problem here, if you're underwater on these dryers, it sounds like the problem is in the spin cycle on your washer. Oh boy, I'm getting fucking roasted over here and I love it! Yeah well, it appeals to your taste for dryers. That's true, that's true.

Roasted and toasted, am I right, Jordan? It appears to us. Yes, a clink. Clean in the lint rack. I feel like I'm really part of this. Because it's filled with cum. I don't know. What's a podcast? I think the lady was stuck in like a banister.

Yeah, there's a lot of things you can get stuck in in this category. Oh, so the category is stuck in, and the dryer is just one of the things. Dryers common, yeah, I think there's, but I think- It's not just like a lady holding a Mr. Coffee. Yeah, it's not just like household appliances. It is stuck in, fill in the blank. It's a mad lib.

And if you wanna get a little whimsical, honey tree. Yeah. Honey tree. Yeah, they call it Winnie the Pooh-ing. Got it, okay. I did watch some really good porn with like a handheld stick blender though. Okay.

Brutal but exciting. Like an immersion blender. Yeah. I'd rather not know where it's being immersed, but okay. Uh-huh, woo, you know what I mean? Oh yeah. You know what I mean? Oh no, you know, if I'm having trouble sleeping,

I just need to watch two minutes of a sous vide video and I'm done. What's that bag filled with? How is it rotating in the water? What? Steven, can you do me a favor real quick? Sure. You got producer notes there, right?

Just make sure to mention that we handled talking about sous vide. Oh, yeah. We did home brewing sous vide in this podcast podcast so we should be all set. We should be fine. Yeah I think you hit all the things. Okay and I talked about that I'm a middle-aged man and that I have a back problem. Oh yeah yeah. I mentioned that? Yep. Okay cool. Oh and we should make sure to mention remember when MTV played videos okay yeah I just like to say that that's something people should keep saying and we keep saying it. Videos on, they used to have videos on MTV. Videos on MTV.

What? Yeah, they used to have videos on MTV, music videos on MTV. Now it's just that one guy and his friend and they laugh. Yeah, it's Rob Dyrdek laughing at stuff. It's better now. It's objectively better. Season 28?

Yeah. Our childhood was mostly about being horny for the daughter of an elderly rock star. Is that correct? Yes. Wait, who's that? Liv Tyler? Liv Tyler. Oh, Liv Tyler. The original video. Vixen, some say. Because you'd be horny for her dad put her in the video so people would jack off to. Okay. Yeah, because you'd be horny for her. Her dad put her in the videos so people would jack off to his songs. Yes, oh yeah. I remember, and she was, I remember very vividly, one of the very first people

when I came to LA for a pilot season, I still lived in New York, but I came for pilot season, I saw her checking out at Whole Foods. Wow! And was like, holy shit. This is real. I've made it. This is, they are just out here

walking around. The stars, they are god damn just like us. The only person I've ever seen checking out at Whole Foods is Ed Koch. Yes. Hey Mr. Mayor! Enjoy your falafel! Honey, you won't believe who I saw

checking out at the grocery store. Mrs. Met! Mrs. Met. Mrs. Met. Then I had to stop by my analyst's office because I'm having a crisis. That is the mark of a New York comedian, jokes about your analyst. We've got it nailed. Oh, and seeing Ed Koch at Zabars. Zabars, that's a funny word.

What is it? I don't know. I don't know, but I'll take one with locks. OK. I'm walking here. If something momentous happens to you, give us a call at 206-984-44-FUN. Or how about this?

Let's go to Zabars. I'll have what she's having. Hi, Jordan, Jesse and Gus. This is Sam in Seattle calling in with some stuff I wanted to tell you about. I was driving to work listening to- You pause this for a second. Is this a new segment on the show, Jordan?

Stuff I want to tell you about? You know what? It is. No. Yes. No, guys. I just want to caution you against this. What?

Severance. Did you think that Bosch Legacy Season 3 stuck the landing? I wanna know. Who has stuck the landing? Did you think Nadja Comenichesuck the landing? Give us a call.

She got her on a box of Wheaties, but was it worth it? Okay, play the call, Stephen. Hi Jordan, Jesse and Guest. This is Sam in Seattle calling in with some stuff I wanted to tell you about. I was driving to work listening to the show and I passed a cyber truck with the license plate that said Mega EV. The driver was a real nerdy dude, just curiously shaving his face with an electric razor. I don't know, they really delighted me. Anyway, love you guys, bye!

First of all, that's only one thing. That's one thing, I agree. It's only one thing. It's not some stuff. Not some stuff. And also, like, shame on you. Shame on you. If you get in our expectations up for multiple things,

then only one thing, and the one thing one thing was like I'm gonna be honest medium Yeah, that's generous. I mean listen, I think this guy who I think our listener was You know was was was teasing by calling by calling in this fucking guy in the cyber truck That's a guy with a grindset. I'm sorry. Shaving in your Cybertruck on your way to your office where you're a founder. I have to say this. I haven't always had a beard, but I haven't ever used an electric razor. I've only used a manual razor before. before and the appeal to me of an electric razor is making those kind of faces while

doing something else, right? Like you're driving, you're on the bus, whatever. You know you see a guy using it and he's making those shaving. What's a classic piece of business for a character? If a character needs some business and you know in a movie You just have a baby. Wait, hold on. I gotta look at the camera. Oh, there you go Guys you gotta watch our here's the thing. How come you don't act more? I know how come you don't act more off start acting. I mean we just saw I'm sag eligible

Yeah, a lot of people, you know, a lot of folks heard me as Hall of Mirrors guy on Archer, and they said, Jesse, why don't you act more? Are you SAG eligible? The answer is yes, I am SAG eligible. I get a letter every once in a while asking me for $3,000 to join SAG. What a nice letter to get. You'll join for the right role, right?

Absolutely. I mean, Hall of Mirrors guy might get a spinoff. Or a live action adaptation. Oh, yeah, surerors guy might get a spinoff. Or live-action adaptation. Oh, yeah. Sure, sure. That would be really good. He probably needs to shave comically. Yeah. Based on what we just saw, I wouldn't be surprised if you're in a Gillette Super Bowl commercial next year. Wow. Yeah, that's the dream.

Can I ask you a question, Jason? Jesse, I would be thrilled if you did. Why don't you get more active? Great question. Great question. I wish I had the answer for that. Why are you only on 90 cartoons? Can you not make it 91?

Because I refuse to shave. Wow. Yeah, this guy, that's also why he doesn't play for the New York Yankees. Sure. I just got to sign that last form, and I keep forgetting. They are allowing beards and mustaches now, Jordan, as long as they're carefully trimmed.

Is that true? Yeah. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, it's bullshit, though. It's ridiculous. I mean, I- Do other sports have similar guidelines or no? No.

As far as I know, it was only the New York Yankees. Oh, it's just, oh, OK. And it was about how classy the New York Yankees are, which is, of course, total bullshit. That said, I like the idea that they think they're so fucking classy that they can't have mustaches or whatever. Like I love that as a thing about the Yankees is that they're just sitting there jacking off to the thought of clean-shaven baseball players.

Right. Yeah, right. It's the Yankees and teenagers who work at Disneyland. No mustaches. Exactly. Oh, is that right too? I think so, yeah. I think Disneyland has facial hair issues. I guess I could see that.

Is that why Mickey Mouse is always going, yeah, it is. He's always shaving, especially now that he's in the public domain. Yeah. Right, yeah. You gotta shave if anyone can put you in a movie Have you thought about this? Hmm Steamboat Willie gets stuck in that fucking thing. He's turning whoa I bet it already exists. Yeah Yeah

And yes, it is already up and has 50 times more viewers than this Can I ask you guys a question if you were gonna if you were gonna plow one of the iconic Disney characters Oh, don't make me choose! Okay. Would it be Mickey or Goofy? The other ones aren't iconic enough. Sorry Donald Duck. Right Boy, yeah, I mean I'll say You know, I love Goofy. Mm-hmm.. Is there a funnier cartoon character? Maybe not.

But if you're going to town on Goofy, something's likely to go wrong. That's a really good point. Have you seen him learn to ski? Yeah. You would get injured, you're saying. You would get injured. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he would probably have to play that record that's explaining how to fuck while you're playing it. Yeah, that's tough. Mickey is also prettier. As I said it, it seemed almost like, as the words escaped my mouth, it seemed like it was almost too obvious to say, because it seems to me like the answer is I now realize you would plow Mickey and be plowed by Goofy.

Okay. And I just want to make sure, Stephen, you're getting that for the podcast, bingo, we are a podcast of middle-aged men talking about which cartoon characters we would bang. Oh, yeah, that was on another page. Sorry, Jason, maybe you misheard. We're talking about plowing them.

Plowing, sorry. Sorry, did you guys do bang already in another episode? We did, Steve H.E. was here last week, and we did bang. And he did bang, so now it's plow. I get it, I get it, I get it. Keeping things fresh. I think that's the only way to go, though. You're right, it's a threesome.

It's correct. Everybody wins. Steven, we got one more call in there, in the old call box. Hey Jordan, hi Jesse, hi guest. This is Emily from Ann Arbor calling in for your very famous segment Youngest Fan Ever. I'm sitting here with my newborn who was born at the very end of Max Fun Drive and who we've been having challenges getting him to feed. And today

I tried feeding while listening to the latest episode of JJ Goh and he just housed his bottle. So clearly you've got your new youngest fan who today is 10 days old. Thanks. We love you guys. I got a question here, Jordan. And I mean, I'm worried that I'm going to be doing too much good for the world if I say this. Right, right. Like other people will be embarrassed. Just do it, Jesse, please. We need you now more than ever in these times. Jesse, please.

Your mother, Gail, is a lactation nurse. She may be retired now. Retired. But I mean, I think she could get back into the game if she had one cool trick. I bet she would have some quick during tips. One final heist. Gail's back in the game. Gail, we need you back for one final case.

She plugs into the hospital PA. She's like, I'm in, milk's out. And then she just hits play on an iPod. Cause it's Hudson Hawk? A little less conversation, a little more action. She's like, god damn it, she presses skip and then it's Jordan Jesse. Oh, right, right, right, yeah, okay. So what you're saying is that our podcast is the key to latching. I mean, I'm saying, Jason? Oh yeah.

I have an incredible latch. I'm just saying. Oh yeah, I love it. My latch is breathtaking. I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt it. I love it. And I'll say this, you know,

just in terms of youngest fans. Please. I love that we're now having, because we've been doing, how did this get made, for 16 years now, I think this is our 16th year, and we tour and stuff like that.

And we're having people come to the podcast that are families who listen together. That the kid is like 14. And that it is now big, the kid has been alive the entire, within the lifespan of the podcast and they're all there together like a family of fucking nerds and it's so cute and I can't stand it and I love it. I realized something the other day, which is in the very early days of Jordan Jesse Goh,

we had a listener who was 10 years old and lived in Sweden. Gross. I know. Years afterwards, years afterwards, I get an email from a couple in Pasadena. They're looking for a unicorn. No. Well, I'll do it. OK.

I get an email from a couple in Pasadena. They say, you may remember years ago that you had a 10-year-old call in to Jordan Jesse Go and say he was the youngest Jordan Jesse Go listener. He is our nephew. Funny. And when you are Swedish, when you are 16, I believe it was, maybe it was 17, you have to do a one week internship and you go somewhere to do it. And we are wondering if he came to stay with us, could he come do a week's internship with you? And I said, sure.

And this was when the company was basically just me. So I was like, just so you know, he'd just be coming over to my apartment or whatever. Where in time in general are we? Like, how long ago is this? So that's the thing. It just occurred to me that this fucking kid is probably like 30.

Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. This guy is like, this guy's probably a mayor. He's probably passed away. Well, it's like, because I think about this all the time, well, not all the time, but like lately, I feel like we just did our tour.

We've been talking a lot about like how we are unable to really believe that how much of our lives or how much of our careers has been inside of podcasting and making this podcast and having such a big podcast and blah, blah, blah. And when I think about it- And Jason, how few of the programming hours on MTV are videos? Zero. It used to be on video.

But when I think about it, because there were so many years before I started a podcast that I was listening to you guys' podcasts, that I was listening to The Sound of Young America, that I was listening to podcasts before there were podcast apps, before there was a easy way to getting people's RSS feeds

and plugging them into things. And it was very difficult and it is mind blowing. You would have to get a cassette tape from a guy in a parking lot. Yeah, yeah. And more often than not, it was porn. Sure. You're like, ah.

And then every once in a while, it'd be the Phil Henry show. I was looking for a podcast. And you're like oh fuck you and all the voices one time I was in I was talking to my analyst of course and she said you know Jesse I was listening to a podcast the

other day I said oh really and she said yes and do you know Jason manzu and I was like yes and she said she said, yes. And do you know Jason Manzoukas? And I was like, yes. And she said, he said something very complimentary about you, Jesse. Oh, your peers respect you. Oh, that's so funny. Isn't that nice?

Oh, that's a riot. Oh, I wonder what it was. Oh, thank God. That's how I found out who I am. Oh, that's so funny. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Oh no, like I really, this is one of the, to me,

very, for me, very first times I was aware of and was a fan of a podcast, not just a one-off, you know, NPR, you know, audio documentary, like the last Bowery, the, what was his name, that made the Bowery Hotel, the flop house, last flop house on the Bowery. Anyway, that were one-offs, like you guys and the iFanboy guys, there were just shows that were shows that I was like,

oh, they're talking about comedy. They're talking, or you guys would also be talking about hip hop, you guys would be talking to and about things that I was like, this is interesting, I wanna hear this. Yeah. Yeah. And all these years later, you know, here we are a little less popular than we were then. But you know, having opened no new frontiers.

And now it really is like we all have to figure out, we now are going to be videoed while we do this? No. That's, that's, that's, what a straight, you've been inside of this for eight. Jason, I got, I'll say this. Please. So you and Paul and June,

all of you obviously have to figure out what to do about being videoed. I'll say this, so you and Paul and June, all of you obviously have to figure out what to do about being videoed. I understand that that's your truth. For us, I mean Jordan, I don't wanna speak out of school, but we can just sort of. Oh yeah. Yeah, he's shaving, see? He's for the folks who are just listening.

He's doing this, he's fine. This guy's gonna make the transition perfectly. Oh wow, wow, wow, wow. You were born. I just got a text from Christopher Nolan. Yeah. They want you in the Odyssey. They want me to be in the Odyssey?

They're making a version of the Odyssey. When they finally get back, everybody shaves their beards and they were like, Matt Damon can't shave his beard. So they wanna replace him completely. So they're replacing Matt Damon with me? With you. To be the main guy Homer. Yeah, Homer. Yeah, to be Homer Odyssey, I think. I think his name is Homer Odyssey. Yeah. How's your Boston accent? We're going to tell a story on an HO scale, they said. Homer Odyssey scale, Jordan. I don't think I get it.

Yeah. What are you talking about? It's the movie The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan and it's a type of train scale I think. Okay. See Jason you went with that dryer thing despite not knowing what I was talking about. Me I'm just going like I don't understand what you're talking about. What do you mean? I'm gonna need more definition. But Jordan the joke was on you because I didn't understand No, Jesse the jokes on the audience at home Joke is ultimately on Steven why because his paycheck

paycheck balance. Oh god. This is first I'm hearing about it. Steven of a generation that he's like, why am I being paid in checks? What is this? It's vintage. It's just a print out of a music video. I wrote a check recently and was like, wow, I do not know the last time I did this. I still pay my bills with checks.

I like to do it. It's fun for me. Yeah. Is it really? Yeah. I like to do it. It's fun for me. Yeah, is it really? Yeah, I like it I I mentally keep track of it better Yeah, like I feel like you physically go through do the yeah And I and as we've discussed on a previous episode, I love running an errand like going down to the post office I love errands too. I like busy work. You're an errand guy like busy work and I like puttering. Oh, yeah

We we're Jesse and I both big errand guys. Yes. Love it. I love to do it guys. I love accomplishable tasks. Oh Something in Red Bull happened to me the other day Wow. Okay, so Steven take your coat back off. We're not wrapping up First of all, I took a tell your dad you'll be home to shove him later. I took a painting to the framer. Whoa! That's a good errand.

We don't have to blow anybody up here on the show, but where do you go? Frame Monster Design Laboratory. Got it? Hell yeah. I'm talking to Mike. Yep, Mike from Frame Monster Design Laboratory. I tell him, do whatever you want.

Wow. So that's the first thing. What are you getting framed? A painting. Okay. Yeah, there's a painting of El Farolito, taqueria by where my siblings and my stepmother live in San Francisco in the outer mission.

So you told the fucking guys to just riff Yeah Wow, by the way shout out to that El Farolito soccer team in the fucking national soccer championship or whatever a kind listener Made an El Farolito custom soccer jersey and sent it to me. Okay. Okay. Anyway, that was that one really great You guys aren't gonna believe this shit My vacuum cleaner wasn't working. Okay. So what did I do? Hang on, is this a same day errand?

I'm just gonna torch my house and collect insurance money. Throw like a javelin off the overpass. Yeah, I got it insured.

Because I've got a broken Dyson as well. I got a Dyson rider. Yeah, if you were like, if you had a fix, I was gonna get on board with it. Oh, I was gonna ask maybe if you would take both of our Dysons to Santa Fe Springs. You guys could have a little bros weekend at Santa Fe Springs.

That's a special season of a podcast people would subscribe to on Patreon. It's just us going to Santa Fe Springs and getting our Dyson's fixed. That's a task master. And maybe learning a little something about yourselves along the way. Yes.

Wait a minute, how would I learn something about myself if the audience wasn't there to tell me who I am? Yeah, true guys. This is gonna be your sideways. Oh, I can't wait I'm not fixing a fucking Dyson. I don't know. Yeah, trick-or-treat I mean, it's Boy, it's sideways a movie that young people even have an awareness of now great question I mean it was really really popular among young people even have an awareness of now? Great question. I mean, it was really, really popular among young people when it came out. Not young people, but younger people.

I do feel like it had an impact socially in a way that I don't feel like it has. I feel like young people now are more into The Descendants. The Alexander Payne Descendants or the Disney Channel into the descendants. The Alexander Payne descendants or the Disney Channel descendants? Alexander Payne descendants. Or Hermosa Beach's finest skate punk band. Oh, of course. Or All. Yeah, oh sure. Well, if Milo's going off to get his degree, then Stevenson starts All. Yeah. Anyway, good podcast. I couldn't remember the name of that one where

fucking Jermadi is. Sorry, Bill Stevenson, don't yell at me. No, no, you're good. What's the one where Paul Jermadi is like a private school teacher and it came about a year and a half ago. Oh, The Holdovers. Love that one as well.

That's a great movie. I would have said The Holdovers. I knew when I said The Descendants that it would cause the problem that it caused. Which is the Disney Channel Descendants. I also couldn't think of that one with Kristen Wiggin it with the name of that one. Downsizing. Downsizing.

Yeah. Holdovers, great crest bump. Citizen Ruth. You could have gone with Citizen Ruth, but that's going the other way, or election. That's the other direction. Nebraska. I think we've now named them all. No, Jack Nicholson, Kathy Bates. Bouchmit election the other direction. Yeah, Nebraska. I think we've now named them all no Jack Nicholson Kathy Bates

What about him we got to watch to find out no it turns out you've got to watch new girl Sure great well we settled that We found out what podcasts are, who we are, we made some faces, we talked about Taskmaster, all the good stuff. What is like one Taskmaster secret that you're allowed to share? Oh, wow.

I don't know if I'm allowed to share, and I'm trying to think if there's any secrets. There's gotta be something you can say, because otherwise our listeners will not be able to achieve orgasm. I see, well here's what I'll say. We shot, I'm curious if you can spot any of the tasks that are featured perhaps in any of the clips

that maybe don't make their way into the show. Oh, okay. Who knows? Okay. What was shot? Who did what? So you overshoot for a season of Taskmaster. Yes, you are always, there is always,

like a lot of things, you're doing more than they need. Right. Because they don't know what they're gonna need at the end of the day. Yeah. No, you don't have to explain that to me. I was on Archer. Oh, of course.

Well, we all know that character. We all know that character that you mentioned earlier a number of times. No need to say the name, because everyone knows knows it you're talking about Hall of Mirrors One that I knew yeah HOMG So my question is because I was thinking about that the other day like you must just be making so much money at conventions Oh my god Oh my god. You just like must be just-

It is nuts. At the card table. Just set up and call it Hall of Mirrors guy. That's like everybody's gonna want that. Can I tell you something? You know about Gallagher and Gallagher 2? Of course. I had to get my brother Johnny to go to cons in my stead.

Because people were fucking tearing me up. John's bigger than me. Yeah. So if they fuck with him, he can take them out. Yeah. But he's signing things Hall of Mirrors guys guy. Right. Yeah. So if they fuck with him, he can take them out. Yeah. But he's signing things Hall of Mirrors guys guy. Right. Exactly.

Which is not cool for a lot of those people. They're bombed. No, they know. They know it's your brother that you sold the act to? No, no, they know that they are talking to the real Hall of Mirrors guy. I hope so. They simply upset.

It wasn't a mistake for me to start saying they know. Uh-huh. Okay. They know that John is the real Hall of Mirrors guy. I see, I see, I see. Okay. So it all makes sense, Jason. It does.

Now that you say it that way, it makes total sense. If you think about it, it all makes a ton of sense, which is why I should be offered more acting role. Oh, yes. And the way you're slowing down right now is as we rock it towards the end of the show, you pacing it down is creating a real tension for the audience. Hello, are you a producer on the Great North?

Oh, boy. Are we starting a segment right now? I should get paid What's he gonna say next? What's he gonna say next? Are the Mala No Sisters here? They're waiting just outside. They usually are. Yeah Jason so
