Give a little time for the child within you. Don't be afraid to be young and free. Under the locks and throw away the keys and take off your shoes and sucks and run you. It's Jordan Jesse Go. I'm Jesse Thorne America's Radio, sweetheart. Jordan Morris, the bad boy of R-slash Disneyland. I think, here, Jordan, I would assume that R-slash-Disnial bad boys. Oh, you'd be wrong, sir.

It's a lot of sweet peas. And when I get in there and start... Thank you fucking shit up. My theme song starts to play Bad to the Bone by someone and they can't handle how bad I am, how real I am. Alice Coltrane, if you were recorded Bad to the Bulltrain,

rest in power. Yeah, I had a little, I got a little slap on the wrists from the mouse himself because I deigned to disobey the rules of R-slash Disneyland. Okay. Is the rule? rule that you have to talk about how good Dolewip is.

Yes, you can't say anything bad about Dolewip. You have to talk about Walt like he's a guy you know. Yeah. No, so I, listen, I didn't, I hadn't spend a lot of time on R slash Disneyland, but I had a very specific Disneyland question that I could not find answers to just by Googling it. Do the characters have a hole down there that you can put it in? Can fuck if okay with Goofy? Question about Goofy.

Okay to fuck? If okay with? Consent is key. Consent is key with Goofy. Does he say gorse? He's getting the pipe. See, this is why they don't like me on our slash Disneyland. Uh-huh.

She's the bad boy. I'm the bad. As Alice Coltrane would say. As Alice Coltrane once said. Yes. That's that noise in the song this one's saying that. Uh-huh. I had a specific Disneyland question.

They put it through some effects pedals. Right, yeah. Okay, go ahead. You had a specific Disney plan. You're probably, of the people that I know, you're probably the person who probably knows the most about Disneyland. Sure, yeah, yeah. Because you're from the Disneyland area.

Yeah. And because you grew up, at least some portion of your childhood, with one of those passes, you can go to Disneyland whenever you want, so you just go to Disneyland casually on the weekend for fun. Disneyland has changed so much. Okay, they got Star Wars guys there now. We've got Star Wars guys there now. They got rid of Michael Jackson.

Probably makes sense. Sure, yeah. I got a lot of nostalgia for it, but I now see that it's a problematic nostalgia. You get it. Yeah, I didn't go see that movie. So, yeah. So Disneyland changed a lot. The culture around Disneyland, now the idea, and I think the idea of the Disney adult was

out there, but now it's, you know, now it's a whole thing. It's a whole thing you can be. Yeah, and at this point, it's weird to bring children on a Disney cruise. Sure. Get those kids out of there. Yeah. So, yeah, a lot of stuff with Disneyland. There's apps now.

You check in on apps. You know they're fucking on that Disney cruise. Come on, man. You know Goofy's fucking on that. Goofy's very okay with it if it's on the cruise. When Goofy's below decks? Yeah. Yeah.

Absolutely. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Anything goes. Gorsh, he said. Yeah, that's what he says. Gorsh. He's really the only one of those characters with any defining characteristics at all or any good shows or cartoons or anything.

Scoofy. Still funny. Those ones from the 50s. They're pretty good. They are really funny. He holds up great. I guess Donald Duck's all right. The Donald Duck gets mad.

Yeah. You know, that's worth of laugh, dude. Donald's getting mad. That's good. And making his nephew smoke. We like that. So, you know, Disneyland has changed. I don't know, I don't know what goes on there anymore.

Who knows? So I'll back up a little bit. You know me. I'm great at social media. I'm great. You're wonderful at social media. I'm posting. You're a savant.

I'm out there posting. Content? And so I had this. had this idea. How can I, how can I make a wave on social media? Right. Because I had, I had a comic I was going to promote. And you know, when you post about just like, hey, I have a comic or hey, I have a podcast coming out, people don't give a fuck. They don't give a fuck. No. Couldn't give lots of a fuck. So you got on Google Wave. Yeah, got on Google Wave. So I was like, here's what I know about social media. Face for the Algo. Oh, yeah. You need the Algo, the, the symmetry of the human face is what the

Algo loves. And I've always said this Morris, he's got a gorgeous puss. Very symmetrical. Draw a line down the middle. Same on both sides. One eye on each. Oh, yes. A nostrils twigs to the nose. Twix. Yes, twixt. Used correctly, there was. Gorsh. Whatever, you just say stuff. It's a podcast. It's a podcast. You say stuff. So here was my idea to get to get promotion for web of Venom, the Spider-Man Universe comic book that I wrote that came out.

I'm like... Number two bestseller nationwide. Number two bestseller nationwide, judging by certain metrics, second printing coming soon. Wow. Second printing coming soon. Variant covers available.

Of Venom. Very handsome variant covers available. So here's my idea. I'm going to take this thing. I'm going to take this web of venom comic to Disneyland. Yeah. And I'm going to get it signed by,

Spider-Man himself, who is now at Disneyland. Wait, Spider-Man lives at Disneyland? Yes, a California adventure on the Avengers campus. Should we bring our guests in? I feel like our guests. Our guests are chomping at the bed. She's chomping and chomping! She's offering like a, right now her commentary is,

it is like an older church lady who has not yet been asked a full direct question by the pastor. So he's just the pastor saying it, something, something, something, and she's going, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, just waiting for that full question. She's a stand-up comic, brilliant stand-up comic. She's friends with SpongeBob SquarePants.

She knows SpongeBob SquarePants personally. She's one of the hosts, the Quarators podcast. Claire O'Kane, hi, Claire. What a joy to have you here, San Joseon. San Joseon 408. Sun Hall. The Spider-Man is that? California Adventure, baby.

Claire, you're not kidding. He's at California Adventure. Yeah. Yes. He's doing stunts. Hold on. Now, I don't mean to correct our guest just right out of the bat.

Spider-Man. You're thinking of Patrick Warburton. Patrick Warburton is at California Adventure. No, no, no, no, no. He's there, too. Okay. In his character of Patrick the flight attendant, who greets you before you get on,

soaring over California. Okay. Which also might not be there anymore. Yeah, probably not. I think it still is. It still is? Yeah. Remember when that was going to be a California themed theme park?

Yeah, no, they just fuck it. Yeah. People like... We've got some leftover shit in the IP bin. Yeah. Well, they're lucky that Hollywood is in California. Right. So anything.

Any movie ever. They're unlucky that, in my opinion, it's kind of like a Holly weird. Okay, hold on. It's my... I'm the bad boy, and that's too bad. I think you've been living in Los Ganges a little too long. Don't know, no, no, no, no. It's by Alice Coltrane.

Claire, are you a Disney person? You knew this. You seems like you've seen this Spider-Man before. I've seen the Spider-Man. He was fighting the guy with the guy, Iron Man. Iron Man, yep. Wait, he, Spider-Man fights Iron Man? With, like, as a group.

This sounds like the way. It's a mutiny. I really, I'm a moment. I might have been on mushrooms, but he was definitely there. But he was flipping in like a crazy way, in like a seemingly dangerous way. I think they have like a launcher. They have a launcher. And he like, Spider-Man does a flip.

And then he lands, you know, somewhere safe. And then comes out and greets everyone. Like Switzerland? Yeah. Yeah. And mommy's house. Mommy's guest room. But I've been to Disneyland a lot, being a California kid.

Yeah. Okay. And have you, like, been to it recently, you know, when there's apps and Spider-Man and everything? There's apps. There's Spider-Man. This is not my... Walt would not have wanted this. There's a drinking vessel that our friend Stefan designed in Star Wars Town.

Really? Yeah. For the blue milk? Probably. It's in the bar. It's sort of triangular. Hell yeah, maybe. Triangular drinking vessel?

Well, it's space, Claire. Hello. What's next? So I I went recently with my nieces Oh, cool. I went with some nephews, so this is And it's kind of the only way to go,

it's kind of the only way to go Without feeling really fucked up about yourself And where you're at. Well, maybe you have a special vest. Some people have jean jackets and vests now. I know that. That's true. We need community wherever we can find it.

That's a really good point. No ice. Best at Disneyland Yes This is coherent How old them nieces? A day about Yay high

I think 10 and 7 Oh that's a solid It's a solid set of ages For going to Disneyland Because probably nobody is over it But also probably nobody is overwhelmed And crying for that reason Yeah

Like the sounds are okay the walking is fine because everyone's legs are a little longer and can sort of take the heat. Yeah. As it were. I've been to Disneyland with my children, but now what happens is my wife's cousin

Sarah comes to visit sometimes. We love Sarah. I used to work at Jordan. No, Sarah from college radio when we did college radio. She did college radio with us. And Sarah's great. She's a great cousin. She's not one of those bad cousins.

Look. I don't know, n'n-no. Is Sarah a grumpy hipster that used to work at Amoeba Records for a long time? Yes, but is Sarah also a deceptively cheerful lover of celebrity gossip in Disneyland? Yes, that too. She contains multitudes. And so Sarah and my wife will take the children to Disneyland. And then because I do not like rides.

particularly, and I don't like that many people. And I like $150 or whatever it costs to get inside. And so I just feel bad the whole time if I go. Yeah, that's the thing. You got to be, you got to want it. Yeah. You got to be born for it. I did love, look, when I was a child, of course I loved Captain Eo,

and of course I loved Bewey Herman the robot. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These things were fucking magical to me. I love the shit out of them. I also liked the submarine. Just because I liked submarines.

Then, as now, witness my opinion of the movie U-571. Beautiful vessel. My least favorite ride at Disneyland is that little submarine. Really? Because what if it goes... Something fucks up.

What if something fucks up and we end up, like, what was the name of that boat, that kick? The Titanic. No, the one that sub that caved in. Oh, yeah, the sub that caved in. And squished those rich, rich people. Yeah, that whole, it is not a homemade submarine.

That's one of the main. That one seemed like just some guys made it. Yeah. There's a whole, it seems to me like despite all of the advertisements on MLB. com that we've discussed on this program before. Is that real? That is real. A lot of baseball games are sponsored by build submarines.com.

That's irresponsible. But I think that like all of the, let's call them James Cameron class submarines are just made by a guy. Yeah. Like I don't think there's any like commercial submarine factories cranking out submarines. It's not like you can go to the submarine dealership and buy a submarine. So I think that's why that one exploded or imploded. Right? It's because it's just a guy made it and he left a piece off or something. I don't know, but that sounds right to me.

Listen, I'm not here doing post-game analysis on submarine crashes. I'm just saying I'm in a tight space. I'm going, I'm going to get squished. Right, but you get to learn about all the creatures that live under the sea. Fish. Bigger fish. Perfect examples, Claire. Fish that talks. See, now, I think you might have been on it because you're sharing exactly.

I'm telling you, I went out how I didn't like it. Ellen DeGeneres Fish. You learned? I didn't like it. Learned everything. She was mean. When I went on it, it was not Ellen DeGeneres fish themed. When I went on it, it was 40,000, 20,000 leagues under the sea themed.

And that was part of what was great about it was Disneyland still had a lot of real leftover ass shit. I love that. I think one of the differences that you're describing Jordan is that in the last 20 years, as Disney has accumulated movie studios and properties. I mean, I'm sure that, like, first take from ESPN has a ride at Disneyland at this point. But, like, you know, a lot of your second-tier 1963-ass Disney movies have gotten bumped off of that. Sure, there's no Swiss Family Robinson attraction anymore.

And see, this is another thing that I like. at Disneyland because I liked the idea of having my own magical house where I did survivalist things. Sure, yeah. I like that much more than any roller coaster. I wanted no roller coasters. I feel that as well. Yeah, and they still have, you know, the Matterhorn. And they still have, you know, big thunder, which are kind of generic adventure themed.

And that's kind of nice. But yeah, who knows, you know, when they'll plop some IP on there. Side note, here's my idea. I know we're all a little overwhelmed by the, the, IP Crunch at Disneyland. I have one, an addition that I think is a real edition. Okay. Put the predator in Disneyland.

He's a Disney princess now, have him just stalking around, and then as you wear a tiara? No, he's cloaked. And then he has his gear. Let me ask you this, Jordan, and we're going to get to why you got in trouble on Reddit soon. We're getting very far away from it.

It's not that interesting. No, I'm interested. Let me ask you this, Jordan. How do you know that the predator not at Disneyland right now. Well, I can sense his heat signatures. Really? Yes. So you go with heat goggles.

Yeah, I go with heat goggles. I was going to say, I bet there are a fair amount of predators. Sure. Sort of the top vacation spot. Anyway, and at some point, you find a little hole where he's holed up and there's the skulls of Disney creatures. No one will hate that. I went on a Disneyland, like a package tour at Disneyland called To Catch a Predator. Oh, okay.

It was fun. It was a good time. You spear yourself with mud. It was really cheap, surprising. I would love to see a skull of like inside the big head. You know what I mean? Like the relative to the size of the character's head. Yes, a Mickey's skull mounted on the Predator's Wall.

Everyone would love this. No one would not like it. Do the ears have bones? This is something to, because that's cartilage. Yeah. I think if you didn't want to imply that the predator had killed Mickey, you would need to have You need the ears. The ears would have to have bones.

Okay, so here's a question. Here's a question about the ear bones. And I'm glad you brought this up. Are they sort of like a saucer-shaped bone? Or is it like a single saucer-shaped bone? Or is it a series of little bone links that go around in a circle? Like little... You know what I'm talking about?

Like maybe like little three-inch. ones with a little classic bone and... I know what you mean. No, giant circular bone. I think one giant circular bone. Or two, I should say. One that goes... Switch the head.

Yeah. Plate ears. Okay, so, Jordan, do you thought you could make a wave in social media? Here's what I can do. I'm going to have the guy who plays Spider-Man at Disneyland sign the comic and be like,

take a picture and be like, hey, Spider-Man sign the... You know, and that's fun and that's cute. And this is great. Everybody loves this. Everybody buys the comic. I'm very successful. It's something called Synergy.

Synergy. Thank you. You're going to try to get the back half picked up. I've got to have to pick up the back half. Yeah. I'm a, yeah, I'm a back half guy. Look, when it comes to goofy, you've got to pick up the back half if you want to get that hole. Oh, gosh.

Come on, y'all. Come on, yo. Like you wouldn't, Claire. Like you wouldn't, Claire. I would. That's what they're doing. I would. I've been doing.

Wow. Goofy. Wood do. Wood do. Wood bang. So I think of this idea. I have this light bulb. Oh my gosh.

Get ready. Social media. Here we go. You're about to become a flame. Yeah. And then I have the notion like what if A. The Spider-Man costume is restrictive in a way to where he can't operate a pen and sign stuff. Oh, yeah.

And then B, what if he's just not allowed to? Like him he has paddle hands. Yeah, right. Yeah, sure. I don't know. For example. I don't know. Like old man paddle hands.

Yes. Old man. He lived on the edge of town. We always said that house was haunted. Over by the creek. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's sewer referencing, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Every town had one. OMPH. OMPH. In San Jose, he lived down by the Tech Museum of Innovation. Sure. So I don't, and I don't know if Spider-Man's allowed to do this. Like, those characters, like, I bet they regulate what they can sign.

Anyway, these are my questions for R-slash Disneyland. Oh, no. I post on R-Slas-Disneland, try and make it fun, try and make it light. Hey, I want to, if I just brought a comic book, would Spider-Man sign the comic book? Thanks a lot. Can't wait for my visit. Because you don't want to have to go to Anheim. Right.

Buy a ticket for $125. Visit your mom and Brad. Sure. Oh, I love doing that. And then have it turn out that Spider-Man's got these pal-hounds. Sure, exactly. And I'm walking around with this comic book like a fucking predator. You're just sitting there.

You're covered in silly string out of Spider-Man's paddles. My sister was going with her kids. So I'm like, I can go, I can meet my sister, have fun with the kids. We can do this little errand, great day. I mean, one of the bad news is one of your sister's sons is Doc Ock. That's true. Yes. That is bad news.

He's bad news. This gets bad news So I post on the thing And then immediately Basically one minute after I post I get a very curt message From whoever is You know monitoring this board

Your post has been taken down The question has been answered in the FAQs Oh Really? No! I looked at the FAQs It doesn't say anything about Can Spider-Man sign a Spider-Man comic I don't know what this guy was talking about

You check the fact? I checked the fact. That's the first place I went. I'm not one of these don't check the fact. I'm checking the fact. I don't want to waste anybody's time. There's nothing in there about can't Spider-Man sign Spider-Man comic books? Was there anything about who could sign any kind of comic book?

No. No. It was like there was some stuff about the characters being able to sign autograph books. But that wasn't my question. Were you going to bring an autograph book? No, it was about a comic. book that I didn't buy there that I brought from home. So what did you have him sign?

A comic that I brought from home. So wait, you did it. So I'm like, okay, I don't know if this is okay. I'm just going to go and do it. We waited in line. And if you have to spend time with your mother and your sister and your nephews. I love that. You're just going to have to, you're just going to have to suck it up.

Suck it up. So I did that. Have a nice Saturday evening dinner with your family. who I love, very much. I'm very lucky. So I take, I took, I took, I took, have the book, I have a pen, I'm there with my, my sister and nephew. Nephew's going fucking crazy.

This kid is two and knows who Spider-Man is now. Got it. He's thippin, he's doing thwip hands. Did you bring ten bucks? Why would I bring ten bucks? You're supposed to slide him ten bucks. Oh, yeah, can I tip these guys? No touching, though.

No. Not even if you go in the back room with it. They can touch you. They can touch you. We wait in line. I go up to Spider-Man. I say, would you sign this book? And he looks at it and he's like, is this about me?

And I'm like, he used his voice? He used his voice. And I can kind of tell he's kind of trying to be, to have the Tom Holland cadence. How does Tom Holland talk? You know, he's kind of like that. He's kind of like a little guy. He's got a little guy. I'm a little guy.

I'm not Peter Parker from Queens. I haven't seen any of those Spider-Man's. You haven't? What's the best one? I don't know. Those Spider-Man. First one's pretty good. First one?

Yeah. I look because I love those other Spider-Man's. Those are some of my face. Yeah, first Tom Holland one's good. And the third one has Willem Defoe going fucking wild and it's great. You know what? I didn't even dislike Spider-Man 3. Remember how everybody hated Spider-Man 3?

I liked it just fine. Jesse, I re-watched it. That movie is pretty good. Yeah. It's a blast. Wait, is that the one with the green? It's one where he does a dance. No, that's number two.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know about the movies, but I know about the guy. You know about the guy. I can tell you all about the guy. Thwip, Thwip, Thub. Filipino friend. Filipino, yes.

Talk about Ned. When I see myself represented in media, I go, I have to watch this movie. You're our Filipino friend. Thank you. You're our Ned. You know, you're the Apple D. to our will I am. Yep.

So he's like, is this about me? And I'm like, yeah, it's a, can you sign this? And my sister yells from, she's in line with the nephew. My sister yells, he wrote that. Oh, Lord. My sister's proud of me. It's cute. Yeah.

And Spider-Mess, you wrote this? And I'm like, yeah, it's, you know, I've always, and you know, you're my, and this is true. I'm like, you've always been my favorite. You're my favorite guy, and you've always been my guy. Me too. Spider-Man is the best one. I don't know the guy. Some people are like Batman or whatever.

By a mile. Batman's very good. Spider-Man's better. And then Spider-Man started treating me in a way where I suspected he thought he was treating me like a little kid who had done an art project. And maybe the guy playing Spider-Man thought I was a weirdo who had done this myself. Right. And was going like, well, this is really good.

You keep at it, buddy. This is really cool and this looks great. I think that's how they're supposed to talk to everybody. It might be. I could sense a tone change where he's like, maybe I need to talk to the guy. Did you tell him that you had been asked to write that comic book by Mr. Stanley? Yes. Stan the man himself.

So it went great. Spidey signed the comic. I got great photos and he was so fucking great with my nephew. Love it. Yeah, he was so sweet. So this Spider-Man was great, despite the fact that I don't think he thought I was a professional, but rather a weird hobbyist. Do you think that if you're Spider-Man at Disneyland, they ask you if you can do any moves?

I bet that's part of it. I bet you have to fucking do moves in the audition. Right? Yeah. Moves. Dance? I think just like kicks. Moves.

Maybe like a flip or something. Not like money moves? No, no. No, not like getting product on the streets. Yeah, yeah, like turn this $5 into $500. Yeah, I don't know. They fell off the truck. I'm Peter Parker.

Thip, thwip. That's, how Peter Parker could be a bad guy in that he could thwit money out of people's pockets. But he doesn't. But he chooses not to be. That's where my head goes. If I could do that, if I could do jizz out of pockets. If I could jizz out of my wrist. Okay.

Hold on. Okay. Hold on. I got something important to say here. Clare's with me. Clare's with me. Yeah, Jesse likes to talk about it like it's Jiz. Because it is.

It's Jiz because he's a teen. He's like an out of control teen who doesn't understand what's going on with his body. It's Jiz shooting out of him. There's no question about it. What else could it be? Yeah, Jordan. It's a web fluid he made.

Mixed with some sort of human something or other, which must become. I mean in the Tore Bore movies, it's organic. So maybe you have a little bit of a case there. but historically it's not. I don't think it's... What, you don't make your fluid? No.

Am I just mailed to me? I'm very weird. Just because the factory is in your torso doesn't mean... Reddit. It's a weird place. Sometimes a guy who runs the Disneyland Reddit yells at you. Claire, you have to hang out on Cora. I do, yeah.

For Quarators, the wonderful podcast. For Corridors of the Corridor's podcast. I don't like that. I'm known for doing that now. That's your thing. But it is my thing, and I'm getting paid for it. Claire, I'm going to be frank with you. I don't even really understand what Quora is.

I could take the words right out of the mouth. Yeah, it's basically Reddit if it was Facebook, if it was insane. Like, it's just weird. It is wild. It's a question asking thing. It has this thing. So like a longtime Max Fund supporter, Matt Howie, started a website called Metafilter many, many, many years ago. And it had a thing called Ask Metafilter, which was like people would ask questions and people would answer it.

And this fucking shit was incredible. Why? Because Metafilter was full of smart, thoughtful nerds who never fucked around and generally weren't wrong. And it turned out to be like the thing that made this. entire website work financially because it would show up in search results. Matt explained it to me one time. They didn't do this on purpose, but it was just like, he found out that like, because the information on there was good, this is 15 years ago, because the information on there was good, it would show up in Google results, and then people would click on the related ads in the automatically

generated ads, right? And at some point, they changed that formula slightly and it just completely destroyed the website. But Quora has that same thing. If you search for, now they'll give you Reddit. But like forever, when you search for why is my computer giving me this error,

a Quora page would come up and you would click on it, but then it wouldn't make sense. Like the things would be out of order. The answers, there would be other questions in the middle of your question. It still really doesn't make sense. It's often in like, do you mean this question that

a word from your question and it doesn't, you know, and then the sort of weird answers you get. It's like, I feel like 15 years ago, not everyone really knew how to get on the internet or even ask a question on the internet. And now it's become easier to ask a question and seek answers. And by that, I mean, the craziest people who normally would not be able to find their way, have found their way and found their home. Ironically, it's easier to ask questions and get them answered despite the passing of Jeeves. RIP to Jeeves.

RIPP Gives. He just lay the groundwork, though. That's a good point. He did. He did. They were a little classist. Jeeves walked so Quora could run. Yeah, so Quora could run and hit its head.

Where does Alta Vista fit into this? It seems, now my main consumption of Quora is from listening to your podcast, which is great. Very funny podcast. to be there's a lot of intense atheists versus intense Christians like baiting each other. Yes. It would be like, would you save a Christian baby, Twerit drowning? And I'm like, what side are you on? But then they also have like who would win in a fight, Spider-Man or Super Mario.

A Christian baby. Or Jesus. If I can answer your question, Jordan, you mind if I answer your question, the Save a Christian baby? Yeah. Depends twatts twixt its nose. Twet twixt? Must? Twetts.

But there's... But there's also, like, people who have elaborate, like, survival scenarios, too. Oh, yeah. Of, like, if, like, 40 trained men, you know, rolled up on me and I was in an enclosed area, like, a lot of battle scenarios. The most fun thing about Quora is just any question that pops up in your mind you can ask it, and someone will answer it sincerely. or be like, this is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. But then took the time to write that. Right, to log in.

To log in. Do you ask questions on Quora? I don't personally know because I don't want it in on that shit. Have you ever? I haven't. Do you log in when you go on there? I don't. It's the company.

It's on the company's email. Yeah, the podcast will sometimes post as the podcast to try and like generate some. But the thing is people post the most personal things about themselves on Quora, like where they live, where they're from, where they work, what Quiznos they work at currently, what Quiznos they worked out before, if they used to be a priest, what war they fought in. Like, all sorts of things. A lot of people are posting about getting defrocked, Jordan. And I just kind of don't want to be messing in that space. So I guess I'm a part of a podcast that mean-spirited. to pick some part of those.

Can I just say to you, Claire, Doctor, heal thyself. That's what I'm saying. Yes. You guys want to take a minute to heal thyself and then come back for a little bit more? Twixton D. We'll be back in just a moment on Jordan Jesse Go.

And you know what it brings us? A fair amount of ratitude. Oh, yeah. And latitude when we're out there on the boat. I don't know. And that's something I learned from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let's wrap about it, gang. Yeah.

Time to get into it. do it. We're also supported this week by our friends at Factor. Jordan? Yes. Sometimes it is 6.45 p.m. Mm-hmm. I wander dazedly into my kitchen. I'm aware that what I should be doing is preparing a grain bowl of some kind. I should be cooking some quinoas and some zucchini and whatever, and I just, the mere prospect of doing so makes me want to lie down on the floor and never eat again. And hopefully at some point somebody will put an IV in. You know what I mean? Wait, Jesse, Jesse, you don't have to do that.

You don't have to lay down and wait for somebody to put in an IV. You don't have to make all that stuff you don't want to make if you got some factors in your fridge. That's where factors come in so clutch. It's that it makes it easy to make a tasty, healthy choice when the chips are down. Look, we all eat grain bowls when we got an infinite volume of patience and resources and loose slack in our day. It's on the day when you wander in at 645, you're already hungry. The factor comes in and says like, hey, here's something that tastes good and is reasonably healthy. How about you just eat this in two minutes in the microwave? They mail it right to you. These are delicious pre-made meals. They cook up super fast in the oven

cook up super fast in the microwave. They have meals built around your nutrition goals, including high fiber, high protein, and carb conscious options. They're fresh. They're never frozen. and so many options. 100 rotating weekly meals. So much good stuff with Factor. Dinner, lunch. Jesse, I like their breakfast. What breakfast did you get?

What did you get a nice breakfast? I haven't tried the breakfasts yet. They got all kinds of tasty stuff for breakfast. They got pancakes. They got egg dishes. They got protein drinks. All kinds of good stuff. I'm definitely a I need to eat as soon as I wake up person.

And that's, and that is a great time to have a couple. couple of factors in your fridge. Jordan? Yeah. Do you think if I ask nicely, Factor would let me at them cakes? I think so. I think all you got to do is make sure them cakes are up that box. And when you get it in your house,

you stick the cakes in the fridge, and when you're ready for them cakes, you put them in your face.

I have an aura frame in my bedroom. I have an aura frame at my in-laws house. I have an aura frame at my mother's house. I just realized I can get an aura frame for my office

so that my beautiful family can always be with me. What a wonderful, what a wonderful, wonderful prospect. ORA frames, they really are terrific. And you know what, ORA tells me, they'll throw in some pictures of the stinkers in my family as well. Listen, as long as you upload, Look, if you're uploading pictures of the stinkers, they're going to show up on the aura frame. That's your choice.

I genuinely, like, I think there is not a product that has ever advertised on Jordan Jesse Go that I more wholeheartedly endorse than the aura frames, which really work beautifully. They look great, and they just add a lot of joy and happiness to my life. Not least because of how well they work. Like, if they didn't work this well, I would still... I once had a different kind of electric picture frame, Jordan, and it involved a USB stick and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Too many steps.

At the end of the day, was I glad that there were pictures of my electric pictures of my family? Yes, but it always reminded me of the hassle, whereas the aura frame just works beautifully. It looks gorgeous. I really can't recommend it enough. You can even load it up with stuff and send it to your in-law or what have you. and they'll just be able to take it out, plug it in, log into the Wi-Fi, and be all set. Oh, yeah. It is a genuinely wonderful, miraculous product.

Free unlimited storage. It comes in a beautiful gift box with no price tag. You can add a gift message before it comes so that you can send it to a special gift recipient, like a mother, for example, for Mother's Day. And it will arrive looking gorgeous. Father for Father's Day, Jordan. A grad for grad day. Ooh, that'd be a great gift for a grad. Named number one by wirecutter.

Oh, yeah. We will be in Los Angeles at Dynasty Typewriter on May 15th. And then in June, we will be at Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline, Massachusetts. You can find those shows at maximum fun.org slash events. They'll both be our new night court show. which is a little bit more like a Jordan Jesse Go live show. It's some games, some joke things, some yelling, swear words. It is a really fun show that I'm really excited about.

I'm going to be there at the L.A. show, Front Row Center, laughing my butt off. Yeah, the Judge John Hodgman live shows are a ton of fun. If you have not seen them, do yourself a favor. Jordan, you're a best-selling comic book author. Is there anything related to that that's of note? I understand you to be the number two selling comic book author of the world. Yes, judging by one metric on one particular week, I was. I was at one point, yes.

I got a fun URL for folks to visit bit.ly slash cool garth. That's right. Bit.ly slash cool garf, G-A-R-F. That's where you get a signed by me copy of Baby Garfield number three, a fun, fun, cute, baby Garfield anthology with a story from me and get ready.

Eisner winner, Tin Fam. Yes, Eisner winning Comics Genius Tin Fam for his IP debut has done a baby Garfield story with me. It's a ton of fun. It's very cute.

You get all kinds of different Garfield stories with different creative teams, so you get to see him and all these cool, fun comics art styles. And yeah, if you want a signed copy,

Come see us there. May 9th and 10th. You can get those tickets at ComicCon. Oakland.com. It'll be at the Oakland Convention Center. Okay. Jordan, I bet that the two of you will be recognized. You know why?

Hmm. Game recognized game in the Bay Main. Well, well, hopefully. Take it from J.T. the Bigga Figa. Hopefully. And of course, my friend J.T. the Biga Figa, the rapper, J.T. the Bigger. I'm also J.T. the Bigger in this construction.

Oh, good. Game recognized game in the Bay Bay. Game recognized game. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan. Yesy Go. It's Jordan Jesse Go. I'm Jesse Thorne. I'm Jesse Thorne.

Dr. Clareau-Cain, girl. Are you on? It's true. She is. A woman. Well, yeah. Dum-dum-dum-thum.

Wow, we're playing all about us cold train's biggest. See, the pocket. doesn't even have to be words anymore. It's just sounds. Just making sounds. Yes. What about LinkedIn? You go on there?

You know, sometimes we do be going on LinkedIn in an interesting way, because people also like to, much like Facebook statuses, we'll just post, you know, what happened to me today. Yeah. And really doesn't have anything to do with jobs or employment or anything. like that. I'm so impressed and astonished that LinkedIn seems to be succeeding and thriving all these years later. Insane. It feels like, I mean, this may be because I haven't been on it since 2005, but it feels like a website from 2005. Yeah, I think it for like a certain kind of professional, you do actually get jobs there. You really do. I think, yeah, I think if you work in certain organizations or certain fields. What kind of field are we

talking about? I bet if you work in like... Planktonics? Oh, God. T-Platteclonics. Yes. Plank Plonics. Plac-Ponics. I think like if you work in HR, it's like you need an HR person.

Right. LinkedIn, great. But then it also has attracted, as we've learned from the popular subreddit at LinkedIn Lunatics, that there are just a lot of like rise and grind, grind set. I'm a founder, founder and CEO at the School of Hard-knock guys who subsist off Soylent and Adderall

Who want to go up there and like self-mythologize. Right. So I think those guys are thriving on there. They're thriving and they're also like, My wife makes me sandwiches every day like she's supposed to. Oh, it's also a home for trad wife's activities. Tread, husband. Tread-husp.

Trad-Hubby. Yeah. Treadwife is not allowed to post online herself because she is too busy. Darning. Darning. Darning and grinding millet. For the food. It's a rising grind time for dry. She's grinding millet. For sons. For hearty sons. You know, a lot of people think that it's traditional for people to eat bread made of wheat. But the true, the true Christian American tradition, of course, is millet.

Millet, yes. It's a millet bread. So say it's the Lord. Millet, I feel like, is kind of the, the grain that you'd find in your shit. Is that a certain mess? That seems right. I don't know. Like you wouldn't be able to break it down.

It's a shit grain. And then you look at it and you're like, that's, that must be millet. Tradwives also only drink apple jack. I think apple jack. What the hell is apple jack? Applejack is like when you take cider and you either distill it or otherwise focus it into like a liquor strength rather than a like a wine type strength. Like a schnapps? So you like, I mean, it's like an apple liquor.

One way that you do it in New England, I learned this from our friend John Hodgman. One way that you do it in New England is you take your cider, you make cider from apple juice, which is why America is full of apple trees, by the way. Apparently we didn't even think to eat apples until like 1920. Yeah, that makes sense. Only use them to make booze. Anyway, you make your cider, you put it in a pan with like a lot of surface area, and you leave it out on the porch overnight so that,

the water freezes, and you get rid of the water, and then you have the distillate is what's left, because the liquor doesn't freeze. Anyway, Apple, Jack. That's what my trad wife drinks. Gosh, she drinks it all day fucking long. What were we talking about? LinkedIn.

LinkedIn, the fun website. R-I-P-Gives. R-I-P-G. G's will return in Avengers Doomsday? Do you guys ever read your, do you have a subreddit? We have a R slash maximum fun, yes. There's R slash maximum fun, R slash Jesse Thorne hate. I like to visit R slash Jordan Morris Love.

Yeah, I was going to say. They love me on there. Jordan started a few subredits. I have a lot of dummy accounts. And they all love me. I like R slash frugal male fashion because there are people post the big sales. When there's big sales. People post there.

People post there. People post there. Yeah, they're people on R slash maximum fun. are all basically real sweethearts. I can see that. It is just some real pleasant. You just get, you know, 20, 25 posts about the latest Jordan Jesse going, what happened. That's really nice.

I would say the only times it really goes sideways is occasionally people get mad at someone who's been on Judge John Hodgman. Because there's something they did reminds the person of a real-life trauma that's. their person had. And the person who came on Judge Sean Hodgman is a nice sweetie pie who listens to who is the kind of person that would come on Judge John Hodgman. I know because I talked to them. But because it reminds someone of a thing, horrible thing that happened to them before, like a bad friend or boyfriend or parent or whatever.

And they wanted to talk about that. Then they go into R slash maximum fun and start talking about that person like they're not a human being. Gotcha. Claire, is your stuff on the Reddit? Have you looked up your podcast? No. No.

I guess we have a Discord. Never been on it. Claire, this is healthy. As a podcaster, I am trying to be as online as possible. And I don't know, I said as a podcaster to before that. How are you going to make waves? That's a really good question. Claire, face for the algo.

Face for the algo. you do it, take it for me and Spidey. That's why you guys have gone 4K because you gotta put face for the Alco. You know what you need? You need a spider plan. Spider plan? Yeah, that's what my friend Jordan came up with. Spider hyphen plan, yes.

I need to write my own. I don't even know comic book. I guess who would I go up to? Who do I even like? Who's at Disneyland who I'd like? I mean, I'm not going to say their name, but I will say this. Gorge. Gorsh.

I don't think I know you well enough to know who you would like. I guess not. So I guess you're not really in front of the Coriators podcast. The podcast were on it. I was on it before you were on it. By the way, I don't really talk at all. I'm going to say, you're very funny on the show. Princess Tatiana.

I like the frog. You like the frog? I know there's a frog in that movie, right? What about Gilbert Godfrey the bird? You might like that. Oh, yeah. Gorsh. Gorsh.

But his hole ain't big enough for the both of us. Believe me, we tried. You think we haven't tried to shove it in that cloaca? Ew. Poop and eggs. Ew. I hate when cloaca comes up. Sorry.

You won't like this podcast. Another thing we talk about is baline versus toothed whales, the end of the list of things we talk about. When the sound of Young America was happening, were there like message boards about that? We had a message board. We had a great message boards. Message boards were awesome. Message boards so much better than anything happening on the internet right now. Now, granted, did some message boards go wrong?

Sure. Were turfs invented on a message board? For moms in England, I guess? Yes. However, in general, it was just me making friends with Matt Belknap. It was good. Me making, I made friends with Nick Adams. on a message board.

Shout out to okay player.com. That's a classic friend. That's a 20-year friend of Jordan Dressiggo. Okay, look, when something momentous happens to you like you make a real friend on a message board. That's huge. Give us a call at 206-9844 Fun or just send us a voice memo at JJGo at maximum fun.org. Momentus occasions. Why, here's one, Twixt.

Hey, Jesse, double Jordan and guest. I'm calling with a momentous occasion. So I'm a student in a master's of counseling program, and I just saw my first therapy clients today. I'm really excited. I think it went well. This is a pretty big career shift for me, so I'm just really pumped to actually be doing it and getting into this new career that feels really meaningful. So I thought you should know. Bye.

Congratulations on your new career. I'm going to say, when this airs, Jordan Cowling, one of the two double Jordans, will probably have run a filter on that call to remove the electrical hum that was in the background from probably something being plugged into an ungrounded outlet or something like that. But I do want to say that if she didn't do that,

you could hear behind this really positive-vived call about a person building a career helping others just an absolute horror movie sound. I didn't notice it. Jesse, is this, are you haunted? I think I have young man ears. Are you seeing like a slender man standing in the corner that Claire and I can't see? Okay, well, maybe it's just me.

Have you ever purchased haunted clothes? Because I know you're a vintage guy. I think I probably have. I haven't ever. I That's right. Oh, yeah, that's the That's the sound of a man

Who has a couple of ghost shirts I have enough I have enough like I mean Right now I'm wearing a I'm wearing a former military trouser of some kind I do have some concern That I may have clothes that have been worn During a killing

Oh Just by just by sheer numbers Spatters of blood smell of fear There's no spatters of blood or spell of fear but I think you can get those out with oxyclean. Yeah. So probably I oxy cleaned it when I got it or something. And I'm not saying for sure.

I'm just saying like if you have a World War II p coat, you know, probably if it was on a boat, the boat torpedoed something. You know what I mean? And then something followed it to the flea market. Yeah. Exactly. Much like the ghosts follow you home in the haunted mansion at Dissiland, which is something we talked about. Oh, my. Oh my God. Okay. This is what I really wanted to talk to you guys about. Yeah.

The haunted ride at the boardwalk. The boardwalk. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Got to be here. Got to be here. Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember the one that went, and the warm California son? Boardwalk. Yeah. There's the cave train. Local commercials that played in Santa Going down west down on the coast. Where did. Yeah. Alice Coltrane. Did you go on the Hunted Ride? I have been on it, but it's been a lot. I think I was probably 15 years old.

That really freaked me out. Yeah. I also think I've been on it, but don't really remember it. What about it freaked you out? Too dark. Too dark. I went on the wooden roller coaster. There's a classic wooden roller coaster.

That one's really scary. I was a freshman, I'm going to say, in college. And we, I might have been, might have been a soft. but I think it was a freshman and there was like a big, you know, move-in day or whatever group trip to the Santa Cruz Beach Wardwalk, sponsored by the school, you know, like they rent out the whole boardwalk kind of thing as a bonding, make a new friend, whatever. And there was a girl who was a Swedish exchange student. Oh, here we go. And was common. And was common. good looking, like absurdly good looking.

And I was uncharacteristically talking with her, and she was going on this roller coaster. And I'm like, well, it seems like I'm going on this roller coaster. Fuck it. And I had never been on a real roller coaster before because I was scared of them and don't like going fast or falling or being high, tall in the air. And I went on that roller coaster and I, boy did I hate it. And then another person was like, well, you always hate it the first time. It's the second time when you know what it's like that you start to get it. Let go.

That you start to really enjoy it. So I'm like, fuck it. Here I am. I'm in college now. I am going on it a second time. Mind over matter. I can do this. I already did it once.

And I went on that second time. And you know what? I got to hand it to them. I hated it just as much the second time. And I decided I was scared to go on roller coasters forever. I have never been on that roller coaster because I'm afraid of roller coasters. That's why I'm on the haunted ride where you're in a little crypt and you're on the ground, essentially. But I will say what scares me the most is that it felt like anyone could sort of sneak in and do weird stuff to you on the ride.

It's always the kind of sub-fear of haunted activities. is what if a psycho got in here and is, you know, and is using this as part of their dark plan? I think about that a lot. Yeah. That's most horror movies now. It's like you're like doing a fake scary thing, but then real scary things enter, right?

Sure. I think that is a popular horror movie theme. Claire, do you have a tattoo that says Bob Newhart? Yeah. That's great. You know, I've been to his house? The words, Bob. Really?

It's just the words Bob Newhart. Yeah, it's the name. Cool. I went to Bob Newhart's house once. to interview him. Yeah. Yeah. It was great.

They were like, would you be willing to go to his house? I was like, would I be willing to go to his house? I'd be willing to move to his house. Like, let's go. Bob Newhart's house? A tutor in Brentwood? Yes, please, I said. Also, when I got this, I was drunk.

And this was for the Vicerland Flop House television show. We were in Atlanta, and one of our friends was just giving out tattoos at a house party. and I was like, I'm going to get Bob Newhart's name. And while I was getting it, I was like, gee, I hope he hasn't done anything bad. Bob Newhart has not done anything bad. And luckily he hadn't. He's been dead for a while and no one said anything bad. I mean, what's his ghost up to?

I mean, I don't want or no. Was that like an on-air as part of the show you getting the tattoo? Kind of. I was just, I was more like, hey, look what I'm going to do. Take a look at Jesse and Kyrisdahl. What's Jesse wearing? Newhart number one. Newhart number one sweatshirt.

Oh. Yeah. I love Bob Newhart. Yeah, I know. He's pretty handsome. He's pretty handsome, to be honest. For a public radio guy, pretty handsome guy. Get him on the screen.

Get him in 4K. Yeah, you got to have Rizal. I don't think they have any Ks there. Yeah. I don't think they, okay. Claire, we have a situation here on Jordan, Jesse Go, where we got, look, we got our share of loyal listeners. Sure. They love us.

College educated, I might ask. probably. High, very high. A lot of them have advanced degrees. I'm sure. A lot of doctors. One of the challenges that we've had in Jordan,

Jesse, go, is getting anyone who likes the show to tell someone else they like it, to play it for someone else, or even to acknowledge that they listen to it

should it come up in another context rather than pretending they've never heard of it. And one of the reasons, I think, is we do have a situation where there are some romantic couples where one of them listens to Jordan Jesse Go. And this is probably true of Polycules. Thruples. Sure. We probably have a few. Yes. Yes. I think those are overrepresented in our listenership, probably.

But they are. One of them listens to Jordan Jesse Go and the other one simply doesn't care for it. Yeah. And we, look, we're. prepared to admit we may be an acquired taste, may take a moment to understand. You have a rhythm. That nothing is happening on our program. They may be waiting for something to happen and be disappointed when nothing happens. They might just have tuned in. Why aren't they interviewing the guests?

Why are they just telling a long story about Disneyland? Sure. Yeah. What is Kai Rizdahl doing there? How did they get in there? Why are they talking about whistles with him? Coming up on a future episode. Is he allowed to escape?

Coming up on a future episode. A lot of these questions, right? But we are responsive and responsible, and we are in a grind set. We're trying to improve our programs. We've asked people whose spouses or partners do not care for the show. To have those spouses or partners, just give us a call and let us know why don't you like our show. Now, what would you do with that information? Address their concerns.

We will change the show completely. Okay, great, great. Based on what these spouses want. We're willing to flip this thing on its tail. We have not gotten a ton. We're turning it around like a freaking donut rolling down a hill. Okay. If a hot Swedish babe came in and says,

hey, can you change his podcast as sort of a Kai Rizdahl sort of thing? You got no idea. You got no idea. I felt like I was in an 80s sex comedy. because I was just talking to a literal, like she was br-per-d-d-d-d-d-r-d-r-d-r-d-but-gorgeous. I feel like that's not okay to say. That's not okay to burp-per-durp.

You think about the sweetest chef from the Muppets, Jesse. She had these hands, these hands, these human-like hands. Yeah. I loved how she threw food. Okay, so we got one of those. Great. Let's take a listen and see what we can do to work this thing up.

Hey, Jared. Do you know the show Jordan and Jesse Go? I kind of know the show. Do you like it? I don't. Can you pause this? Pause this, Gabe.

I feel like we're going to learn a lot from this. I think so, too. Because I think. Sharon has a lot to say, I think. I think that a lot of the time, people assume that when we talk about somebody's romantic partner who doesn't like the show, they assume it's the wife.

Sure. They assume it's the wife. It's the girlfriend that doesn't like the show. Why? Because we're a couple of dudes. However. Guys, guys. However.

Alphas. Alphas. Jaron. Jaron probably doesn't like the show because his wife might like us better than him. We're podcucking. I just listen to Jaron. That's pretty good. Podcuck.

Yeah. Let's take a listen. Let's see what Jerry has to say. I think it's important. We got to respect Jaron's opinion and learn from. I love Jaron. Uh, hey, Jared. Um, do you know the show during Jesse Go?

I, I kind of know the show. Do you like it? I, I don't like the show because I don't like most podcasts, but especially ones where, uh, just a bunch of white dudes talking. They are white dudes, right? Yeah, but it's kind of funny? Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah.

I'm not saying white dudes can't be funny. It's weird. I mean, it's fine. I'm fine going to a party that's listening to two funny guys, unedited. I know they edit. I know it's a lot of work. I know it's, but I just don't care. This one is tough.

This is tough. This is going to be a tough one to address. He's not lying. He's not lying. And he's correct. He's correct. He's correct about pretty much all of it. Sure.

We're two white dudes. We are. I mean, we got our own Apple Diab situation. Yes. Yes. Our Ned. Yes. Sure.

We are two white dudes. We're not doing much. We're not. And Jaron does sound like a fun guy. I mean, he did point out he would be willing to hear a couple of funny guys at a party. At a party. I guess maybe if we framed this as a party. Oh.

Oh, it's like, hey, this is a secret recording made at a party. Like Playboy After Dark style. Oh, yeah. Have some jazz musicians in house. Bap, bop, bop, boboop bap. Oh, that was a, that was really good. Bupu Bop Bop Bop Bap Bap Bap Bap Bap Bap Bap Bap. Wow, wow.

You sound exactly like jazz legend Steppenwolf. Thank you. Elliot Gould could come on or something. Aude could drop by. Probably something that would happen on that show. You're right. It's a good point. I don't know.

Bob Newhart. Bob Newhart. Bob Newhart might be there. Rickles. And he's going, Hib, Hib, Hib, Hib. Hib. I'm Bob Newhart.

This is how I talk. This was Mike. thing to talk like this. Man, do you think about getting Bob Newhart's autograph at Disneyland? He had the Bob Newhart walk-around character. Damn. How do we know it's a skull

if it was in the Predator's lair? It's Bob Newart and Don Rickles and their wives. Right, exactly. They all went on trips together. They were all killed. They went on trips together. They were all killed together by the predator. Yeah, I mean,

this is going to be... Do you have any ideas for how we could address this? Claire. Party music, some sort of music in the background. Red cups, clinking. Kind of the set, the, what's that, that Weasor song? Oh, say it ain't so.

Yeah, it sort of sounds like the beginning of say it ain't so when they're at a party. But that's a white guy. Because I'm going to be honest with you. I'm getting any wider than Weezer. I'm going to be honest with you. Jaron does sound like a chill dude I'd like to impress. He does. Jaron's probably cool.

You know, a lot of times when I conceive of this in my head, this segment in my head, I'm thinking about like, oh, mommy or daddy won't let you listen to something cool. Right. You know what I mean? I'm thinking of a real uptight, squalled. Right. They swear too much, which is an easy way to get laughed. Yeah, that's why we do it.

That's why we do it. It's easy. Why would you do the hard way when you could do it the easy way? F. Yeah. you. Thanks, Claire. F-end. So, yeah, I think a more party kind of atmosphere for the show.

Jaron's party. Change the podcast. Damn to Jaron's party. And then Jaron will have to listen because he's like, this is my party. He's like, oh, not only is it my party, these guys, they already know me. Sure. And, okay, I think, so, right, we change the name to Jaron's party. At a party atmosphere, and then I think this will really bring Jaron on board, change our race.

Yeah, I think that's a good. I think Jaron has a racial issue with this show. You know what? How about this? I'm going to, because that's going to be tough, that's going to be a tough sell, I think, for, you know, cultural and moral reasons. How about this? Caller, let us know where, where do you and Jaron live? Maybe we'll come. Okay, posted on Cora. Post your address.

What quiz knows you got fired from. Maybe we'll come. Uh-huh. We'll have a little party. Throw a little party. Jaron can hang out with us. Yeah. See if he likes that, if he likes the vibe, if he likes that vibe at the party, maybe we can

kind of slide him into the podcast. Right in the podcast. He doesn't even know it. But what I'm saying is if, if, I mean, look, if he lives in L.A., we can have the party down on the, there's a patio here at the office. Oh, yeah, that's easy. I mean, obviously we're going to, the other offices in the building, they have access to that patio too.

So we might run into somebody from urban alchemy. But... Stinky. Exactly. Always trying to make lead into gold in the P-U. Why is the magic ingredient always dung? Yeah. I make gold, baby.

You put the lead into the cloaca and then comes to the cold. There comes the sea. So what I'm saying is, if they live in Los Angeles, I think it would be fine for us to have the party out on the patio. If they don't live in a Los Angeles, I think it's only going to make sense if we have it at their apartment. Yeah, absolutely. I think they should have us over. We'll get a nice sheet cake from the Kroger.

Oh, yeah. Or if there's a look, you know what? If there's a Costco, I'll bring an apple pie. That's a good idea. And I'll bring the Apple D app. So there you go. Claire, you're going on this too. You're flying to wherever these weirdos live.

I just think, I think you guys should at least try to sort of Rachel Dolazzo all yourself. Just a little bit. Claire. Yeah, seems the guy's main issue. It's a little bit. He doesn't think that this is a valid perspective. I'd love to see your spin on being African-American.

Yes. Spit it up. Claire, you don't have to be, you don't have to Apple D-Aptus. That's okay. You could Lou Diamond Phillips it. No, I'd rather Apple D-Av. You'd rather Apple D-Abb. You'd rather Apple D-A-Bet?

You know, Bruno Mars is also Filipino. Yeah. Interesting. So, there's another. There's your sign. There's your sign. There's your sign. Okay, let's take a little break.

Let's figure out how to dole us all ourselves. Yeah. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan, Jessica. La, la, la, la, la.

Okay. I purchased a product called Goody's headache powder. Sounds natural. It has the same shit as Excedrin in it. A little less caffeine, but the same shit is Exeteran in it, but it comes in powder form, which apparently makes it less likely to call it. cause ulcers. Ouch.

Yeah. Can you judge the mushroom coffee to make it taste better by adding vanilla or something? Yeah. Okay. I put cinnamon in it. That sounds nice. I put cinnamon in and then and then. Having it Nalin's style.
