Well, it's summertime. I mean as we record this, we're sliding into the month of June. And that is like when summertime behaviors begin. So I think it's a perfect question for us to start by to ask Dan. Yeah To what extent are you, Dan, a summer boy Well, you know, I grew up in Alaska where summer is very beloved. people I was going to say does that like does that like really raise the stakes? It' not it's not as big of a deal in LA, I feel like. I mean that's I was kind of surprised moving here that there actually does the temperature does change over the year. It does a little bit, even though you'd think it wouldn't. But I like summer as a homeowner, I'm very get very stressed about rain Oh And I'd love that for like six months, I just don't have to think about it. Do you have roof problems I mean, we don't currently have a roof problem, which is nice. but we have we've always had various like our house weirdly has like a basement which is rare in L.A. so guys have to worry about water getting in and it just Moulds Is that an issue? Mould I mean, you always wonder, you never know what would Yeah. there's going to be yeah, it just, you know, it just I always had hypochondria then you buy a house, so like extends to your house. What are this top summer activities of childhood in Alaska? I mean, for childhood, I adults an adult adult, there's a lot of very fun things to do that would be kind of boring. What are you talking Torneu theater? they might I don't know if they have that there, but it's yeah, like like hiking and fishing and stuff that was very boring as a kid is very fun to do as an adult when you go back. Do you make it back to Alaska much? Do you still have family there? Yeah, my parents are still there. So I still go ye. I've been to Alaska once and it was a wonderful experience. It was very magical. I had a buddy who moved up there. I went to visit him and his kids and we had a lovely time. Just justust every building is a brewery basically. And it's there's miles between them, but you go from one brewery, you drive in the car cross Beautiful. beautiful trees and then another brewery I don't remember being like that when I lived there, but I'm not surprised if it's gone in that direction. said. I gave up my career as a doctor in New York City to move to Sicily, Alaska for a little while. Now, hold on, Jesse. Yeah. Did you get conked by a coconut while watching Northern Exosure again? Oh No that you mention it. Things are a little hazy to watch Northern Exosure under the old coconut tree.oy I love those nuts. Both the nuts of the town of Sisily, Alaska and They come out of the coconutree. They come out of the coconut tree. Yeah, as a Jew from Alaska that that like took my sitcom idea before I was even. I'm sorry to comedianoy boy. Andave they talked to you about rebooting it? Oh yeah, I guess I'd be the first person that'd come to. Let me ask you this. What was the hunky radio host like in your small town? I don't remember that part as It was a lot time.. I don't really remember anything about the show either that it existed. Are like an Are you a full scale outdoorsman as an adult man Uh, I I liked doing I not Not really, like I said, we're from Alaska, but our family is Jewish, so we're like It was athletic by Jewish standards, but not by Alaska standards. But yeah, I like hiking and skiing and I guess in theory camping, although I don't actually like that Yeah, camping is I've learned mostly from doing the Judge John Hodsman podcast and having a few camping related things on the Judgetson Hyden podcast. Like I think the campers in my family are on my wife's side of the family. They're from Marin County And my brother in law was a climbing ranger at Yosemite. So like they're like, Yeah. like they like put on they have special stuff that they put in a special bag with the kids and they go to the middle of nowhere and, you know, fight bears. Yeah. And then there's this other category of camping that I've learned about through Dudge John Hodgman, which is where you like not only fill an entire vehicle, but a second vehicle with all the items in your home and then just bring them to a I mean it's a parking lot, but it's a parking lot with like wood chips andad of concrete. Yeah. Um, and just you just fucking spend the whole time setting shit up Yeah, like setting up a tent city And then at the end, you're like, great, we set it up Yeah, I mean, I have issues with both client. I kind of loved backpacking and backcountry camping as a kid. likeike my parents were would take me on some cool trips when I was a kid, I went down the Yukon And then as an adult, I just realized there's so much prep work that goes into that and also just living in California there you have to drive farther and there's your place to go. But then like the kind of car camping, I just feel I don't know. I just feel there's no privacy and I just feel like It's kind of the worst of both worlds to me I don't know, it' something that that I really like in theory, but I don't like at all I'll tell you why it appeals to me It's not the natural sububstantially does not appeal to me. However, The rise of like equipment for camping. Yeah and the rise of Endless e commerce websites, e commerce websites that sell every product ever Man that no matter what car you have, buy an air mattress that is the exact size and shape of the back of your car And like I drive a hatchback and my back seats go down flat And I've never had a reason to or an interest in sleeping in my car. but the idea of having an inflatable mattress that perfectly fits the shape right back soable God, I'd love that. Free show, everybody was telling me how great my t shirt was. Yeah, It's a really nice t shirt. Thank you.at for a cat rescue called Cat Town. and it was this thing where someone brought it to me at a comicon No, I'm a big cat guy They gave me this shirt It's great. I love it. It made its way into the rotation. He likes small cats too. Okay. Jessie, shut up. What did I say about that? It's okay. I'm not really bad. Yeah He's not really bad You kind of look like Zekel Janet.' mad Jready Okay,'s ' I have this baby straped to my front And you know, it this was nice, nice to get this gift and it's great that it's, you know, made its way into the rotation like it has. And I thought to myself, I bet people bring fucking Danments stuff at. Oh wow. ye. Do Do you get a lot of like handicrafts and gifts and things when you do that sort of thing? You know, I never get t shirts I wouldd love to get a cat t shirt. I don't have a cat but br br shirt. Yeah. But yeah, all kinds of kinds of art and stuff and it's u And usually I can fit it in my suitcase going home. That's why the less stressful part. And it feel terrible leaving something This one made. Like Dan, I made you this set of encyclopedias. Do you have anything that's like in your home or that's like become a decoration that someone made for you because I mean, I feel like they're all in my home because I don't have I don't know how to like decorate. But I mean I guess my I guess I do live with a wife and kids. so there is stuff, other stuff on the wall, but There's always space for me to put something up. It's all just macaroni art of your character from Bob'sburn But yeah, it's always I mean there's and just not just from fans, but from like the show. Beno Box, there's always artists are always so excited to make something that they're always giving ways. Yeah, and I think when you work in animation All of your coworkers are Crafty nerds. So you get a lot of that kind of thing. Yeah. Animation people lovely. loveovely to work in an industry that's mostly crafty nerds. you Have you gotten crafty nerds things from animation people? I have. yeah. I'm racking my brain to think of one, but that is a lovely part of working in animation. It's like the nice nerds that work in it. I was the star of Archer Television show. Yeah ye, Star Star is something you could say about any performer. Yeah cont. Especially one with Starp. sure. And they sent me like, they made an animation art of my character with the rest of the cast of Archer And I was like, on the one hand This is not normally the kind of thing I would ever put on my wall in a mill, even though Ach are my favorite show. Yeah, etcetera And it was like, That's me on Archer. I know. Yeah put that in a frame and put it on my wall. Nice. Yeah, I mean, I remember when our daughter was born, they made they gave us as a gift as a painting of of My son who was like two at the time as Jean holding a baby. Oh my teen as my daughter. O Yeah. That was very cool. We still definitely still have that. That's really, really cool It's very adorable. I mean, the audience of Bob's Burgers, I was telling Dan before the show. like, When we do a Judge John Hodgman tour There are people who have bought VIP tickets Waited in line to meet us and want to talk to us about Bob'sburgers. Yeah. It's so important to people. O merit. It's a wonderful program. sure is. But yes, that depth of commitment is truly special. And it's also a network television show. Yeah. There's only like six of those left Yeah The other five are all created by Taylor Sheridan. I wonder what it would be like if Taylor Sheridan created Bob's burgers.. And here's where we set up a sketch stand. Yeah we're you know, we're setting up a sketch that we already wrote Pause the recording so we can write it Chr. I wish I knew more about Taylor Sherid and just have some polls for this, but I got Yellowstone. Yellowstone. Yeah. Th These are masculine kind of heartland coded shows. I haven't watched these shows. However, in my capacity as a coastal elitist I did hear a fresh air review of one of them. I think I heard about them on the slate Culture Gab Fest. Yeah you know And I think we're going say it was David Bean Cooley who was doing the review on Fresh air. I'm not going don't hold me to that. It was a generally positive review. It was for like the new one that's got Melanie Griffith. and I'm going to say Kurt Russell And in this review, they played a scene from the show And it was just two people talking about how dangerous it is in New York now,. And I was just like,, come on Dan have you ever been in a New Yorky? You know, been I've lived there for a few months at a time a few times. I love it. East Coast feels like a foreign country to me. Like I think it'd be hard to live there. I mean, you live you were born and raised in what is essentially a foreign country Well, yeah, but I feel like the that I'm also like LA does feel like it's similar vbe Have you ever done the Alaska comedy like tours that comics do. I remember one time our friend Chris Fairbanks, I think was the one who was talking here. He like got booked on a ten date Alaska tour that pretty well and was a blast. Yeah, it's it sounds really cool. I've never been As to do it. I feel like the the I think the tour they they go to the the kind of bar in town that has the comedy shows and I feel like I just feel like when I think about want to into that bar, I would have trouble kind of a low energy comic fling that room So it's just gonna to be drunk fur tra, right? That's who. Maybe mayaybe I've been being too I don't know. I haven't speent a lot of time in the bar so maybe' pre judging it, but what would your L local pandering material be about Um you know,ve I've done standup twice there and I yeah, I remember not really feeling like I really knew how to connect audience I, Well, I did. I went up well, I did one, I I went up. I just was u U up there with my wife, I think it was before she's my wife, but But she's a comedian. And so we both she convinced me to like go to like an open mic there. And I had in my head that people would be like, oh wow, it's like an actual like Is it okay for us to say Judy Tunuda Yes. Yeah, Judy and I U and u I had this idea in my had like, oh, people, you know, I'm like the I think this is before I had Bobs or or much but it was just like I'm like a guy that like comic from LA. like I'm like a big time comic and I just and I just like No one I got no response. No one cared. No one knew I was. And then my Margie Judy Denuda, my wife killed And then I went back later for a show that was F from high school, like it was like a benefit. I did a couple nights for her and that was pretty good. It was just it was like The early audience was literally all like my mom's friends.' my son. and it was a little bit u The late sh I feel like was better. It was a little bit of too many of my mom's friends in the audience to Did they like it? D they have a good time I think had a pretty good time. I mean, it's like you were describing earlier the show where you saw me with where you felt like the audience didn't love some of the darker stuff. and I definitely feel like it was that kind of. Yeah. I mean Dan is for folks who haven't seen Dan do comedy, I mean, it is joke after joke after joke after joke And I saw Dan perform opening for Kristin Shaws play slash O woman half another character show in Los Angeles and The audience was, I mean, you can imagine who comes out to the Kristen Shaul show. Y. It was just fucking jam packed full of bright eyed librarians and people who'd made their own clothes. just a vibrant, delightful scene of sweet weirdos and Dam is very committed to The writing of jokes, I would say, because he's a fucking genius at it V very kind, thank you. And I think that Sometimes a comic who is really great at writing jokes will find themselves wandering up to a cliff, looking at it and thinking, I wonder if I could write a joke that would allow me to write to walk six inches past the edge of this cliff. or Yeah, good. Dan had a couple of dark jokes, notot no offensive jokes, but like some intense some emotionally intense jokes that the Bobbergers's crowd may not have been prepared for. Is because you were telling me that first story. I don't remember it like that, but I trust, I believe you. I think Maybe you were sitting on the part of the audience L someone I think fully went. Oh no. Heavens. Yeah. There's a pearl clutching section where Jessie usually sits and's wherear people Well, the otherwise the fucking temptation is too great for me to steal people's pearls. That's true. Okay, listen We should probably hide our pearls. Yeah. Let's do that, takeake a little break and thenbe we'll come back for some more. Yeah.

Okay is not shame a spectrum. That's a wonderful point. A lot of people would say If you buy your first home, but then you call in to Jordan Jesse, go about it, that's fundamentally shameful, right, sure Let's take a listen Hey, Jordan Jesse and guest. this is Joe in Grand Rapids, Michigan Cing with a new entry in your ongoing series, Awkward interactions brought on by JJ G Merch My wife, Alexis and I were recently on a romantic weekend getaway in lovely Northport, Michigan We were actually both accidentally wearing Max funun t shirts She was wearing a stop podcasting yourourself shirt. and I was wearing one of the now classic Jordan Jesie Go dinosaur shirts, which Alexis had actually bought me. We were standing outside a restaurant there in Lovely Northport waiting to be seated. and this young gentleman, I'm gonna guess he was maybe early twenties walked up and said, Hey, I like your shirt And I said, Oh, that's cool. Are you a fan? And he gave me kind of a blak stare And I said, Ohh, did you just mean me because of the dinosaur? And he said, Yeahah, I mean, what what's that about? What would I be a fan of And I said, Oh, it's from a podcast At which point I pointed to the text below the dinosaur that says Jordan Jesse go And he just said, Ohh U well what's that podcast about I honestly had no idea how to even begin to explain your podcast as somebody who wasn't familiar so I said that it's technically an interview podcast, but it's mostly two college friends kind of being delightful Dingleberries together. But yeah, a very awkward interaction. Love you guys and keep doing what you're doing And bye If supporting our program has cost you personally, give us a call. two zo six For fun A couple of observations, strong call, I want to say strrong call Uh This fellow's voice sounds like a SNL character from the seventies your dad loves and tries to get an impression of. Oh my Godd, yes. The Michiganders. Sure yeah. And his famous cetatchphrase like Go out there. and then your dad says it and like, you know, you Yeah, you didn't see go out there it's before youTbe R L you can't he can't just show it to you. sureure It was it was very authentic and it really it really made me totally rethink what this show is. Yeah. like that's that's like your fan. Well, I think it really like drove home to me. kind of Juad Viv that animates to Jordan Jesse Go, right, audience Like, I think All of America's fifty states includludinging the non contiguous ones, Daniel Uh have people in them who have wives named Mimi Was that what the wife was named? I'm gonna say a sure her name was. Wh? No no, the meimi the wife that was wearing the stop podcasting herself to shirt. the wife U I don't know if we're still My the name starts is Margie. That's why it sounded like You're trying to say Margiva forgot. And we're not doing the bid anymore where you're married to accordion comedic I took it too far. No, no, I think you did a wonderful job withS handed it and it was a lot of fun. No, it was really fun. I just didn't know if we were still doing it. Yeah. Jud Tunit is still fun to say. Yeah But I think there's a certain flavor that can be brought to all of the regional manners of speech of America that can mark you as a potential George Jessico fan great Uh yeah, I and something else that I like about this. Dan, a lot of times people will call in Tes when they fail to recommend the show to people. Yeah them just bailing on talking about the show to anyone in the real world This guy gave it a shot. Yeah. He tried And the fact that the guy was confused is our fault for not doing a better show. Yeah. Okaykay, well, I have a question. Yeah Is it possible that what we should be doing is providing literature. that would help our audience explain sort of like when you're You work in the phone bank for a presidential campaign, right Or you are dialing for dollars on your university campus. You got to call alumni and ask them for donations We just give people a little script What to say about Jordan Jessieo that would maximize The chance is that the person you're talking to would make a donation to their allmamon Yeah, I mean, I think that'd be great for us Maybe we can do them in the style of those little like Bible comics that they give you Yeah. ourudience I don't think our audience is going to want to deal with a whole block of text. them a you throw your pictures in there. It's an extremely uninformative name Yeah. Like even if it was literally just Jordan and Jesse, then oh, that's the two guys. It's confusing. It's especially I think uninformative when you consider what an informative show it is. Yeah I mean, I think people want all the information. Yeah. You don't want to waste any information on the name. It's all gott to go in the show. I mean, one of the biggest problems I think for people explaining the show is that they've learned so much through doing Jordan Jesse listening to Jordan Jesse G that they can no longer relate to a person who Basically doesn't know anything because they don't listen to Jordan J. go. like the difference is so vast right It's like in a science fiction story when when one group of people get super brains and they can't talk to the regular people anymore. just because you learn so much listening to our shows. It like the sun trying to talk to a dog It's like the sn trying to talk to a dog. Yeah. When when we say it's like the sun, I mean, you know. You know what it's like, okay You know what it's I mean, Jordan, you have a son You have a son. you have a son. Dan. Jessse's setting me have to do a catchphrase that I Oh, your son, like SON. Yeah, he that's so he I don't have kids, but I'm working on it. so ye Jessse And I think the audience probably wants me to say. Yeah. I gototta get a son. I'm working on. There he goes. He said d. He said applaud Dann. I didn't know how he end it up. but I thought't go out there now. Don't go out there. I thought it was SUN. The son I to your dog I think I twisted it.. I thought it was the sun talking to a dog, but then I twisted it to force Jordan Okay that he's got go great. Like the su the SUN is like so sururreal and like beautiful. Thank you. And And then the SON actually makes sense.. It's like, oh, this happened And you had to explain to your son why the dogn't Uh yeah, so I think you I mean, yeah, beautiful points all around. And I think the audience is clear on what happened now. Yeah. think I have a question for Dan Minch If someone was asking you What kind of podcast did you just go on? Would you say I would say NPR adjacent. NPR adjacent. I think I like that. honestly, I'll fucking take it. I will take it. I got my own NPR show that makes this show NPR. I know you you did friends a long time. If you didn't, I would still say that. Yeah. I mean would it be just as accurate to call it Teeen Titans Go addjacent? Sure. Yeah. Jordan works on Teeen Titans G sometimes tr. Spider Man addjacent. Yeahah, you gota go right Spider Man comic books Archie friends adjacent? Yeah. Is that Archie for a minute, but Yeah you call you used call Arch say Archie, but they are friends. . What's your favorite member of the Bazooka Joe game I'm sorry I don't know that is. God damnit. I mean, I know they have they have jokes on the Inside there's a cartoon strip that only exists within the world of Bazooka Joe Bubble The correct answer is always mort. Okay. You can just have. I don't know that I know. and why I think Bazooka Joe is a guy There's different gum with a joke on the inside. You'd have to be Laffy Taffy. Maybe yeah, Laffy I mean, Bazooka Joe has a joke as well. Okay. So there's a there's a comic strip and then there's a joke usually at the bottom of the comic stri. Something amazing is happening I just want to point out. This is our first show being produced by our new producer. Yeah, someomeone you know and love audience Christian Doyas Hi Christian. Welcome aboard, Christian Duenas. We're so happy to have you here. And he is listening to what we say, which is weird already. That's already I'm a little confused as to why someone in the room with us would be listening.. Usually our producers are playing ski free and that's fine. Yeah Watch out for that fucking yeti, but Christian is putting references to what we say on screen so we have them And he has put you know, not a photo, but a drawing of ph someone's ever photographed Mort.f. Noone ever photographed me and Mort in the same wayure. And yeah, this is a Bazzooka Joe character doing like a hand plant on a Bazook Joe This is Mort. This is Mort. It's not just any of that's Mort. It's. Yeah It looks a very very very classic cartoon. What Facebook group is it? Because I noticed this is in Facebook Christian What Facebook group is this that has this picture of Mort in it It's from the page official page Bazooka. from the official Joe. Official Bazooka. We might have to like comb that later for I didn't just I've been wondering lately if I should delete my Facebook account. Oh look, they got michch there Mike Mitchell, right there in that graph ofure. Th guys look a little bit like Doough Boyys host, Mike Mitchell. it does. I think I was going to delete my Facebook account because of You know, the various horrible things that the Meda corporation, right, right, right Yes. Now I think I might just delete all my friends and everything about my personal information, but then like Bazooka bubble gum and just only have an app to look at Bazooka Joe. Just so I don't miss these fucking updates. You know what I mean? Dan, how how much social media do you do in twenty twenty six? You know, I've never been a big social media person. I kind of You know, I was really trying to not do any and then When I was going on tour after COVID, like the first place I went the club owner was pretty mad that they didn't have any kind of Yeah account. I didn't reallyally nothing D. I didn't realize how much things had changedure that you really knew that. So so I didn but ye, that was also what it was like before COVID. cant blame this one on C. Sure. I had been a while since I've been on tour though. Got it. Okay. So I feel like the last time I had been on tour, it was not two thousand six. It was still well, it was before Dame Cook Right. It was pretty early that it started to help R. But it was at a certain but then it eventually got the point where like that's supposed to do all the work. R Yeah had to go What do you do now in twenty twenty six for social media. I mean, now I basically just use it to post when I have a show I mean, that's the dream. That's the dream of social media. Well, I mean, it it's not effective. It would be the dream if it would work. Yeah. know, I think the great revolution that's happened in the last five to seven years on social media is that Mark Zuckerberg and his little buddies figure out how to make it not effective for you to post where you're going to be doing a show S Yeah But if you hold out your phone and say something that will make people angry, then That's a good post. Yeah. At the end, you can say what clubs you're playing that mom. Sure U Spoons cause autism. Anyway, come to see me at Roooster Ta Feathers and bring those four Roooster Ta feathers. Californans. You think they still say cockoo cockadoodle do it Roooster T Fathers? Dan you ever play Roooster T feathers back in the day No. No know if it's still around. I think it is still around. O friend Scott Simpson, San Francisco standup comedian, Scott Simpson, you know, he's got that club downtown that he plays all the time with this show cheaper than therapy.es, wonderful show U but I think Scott plays Roster T Fathers once in a while. I think he gets in the car and drives down and You know Features for Jimmy Pardo or whatever at Roooster T Feathers, right How do? Yeah, this was the like closest stand upp club to us. Jesie and I went to college together. Yeah and as comomedy nerds, we wanted to see comedy. Yeah. And the closest club was in Sunny Vale called Roooster T Feathers and to get a ticket, you had to the internet was available at this point, by the way. But you had to call the answering machine and say how many tickets you wanted and they would call you back to tell you if you got the tickets And at the end of the answing machine message, they would say oodle do. you've reached Roooster Tea feeathers in Sunnyvale, California, leave us a message and let us know how many tickets you'd like to buy Coo Dan, do you still play like comedy club ass comedy clubs or are you doing like theaters and stuff I mean, I basically will go wherever my agents can meurebe, I don't like So will we? That's why we don't go Yeah We keep asking your agents to put. It's yeah, I do yeah, mix of clubs and like like, I mean, smaller theaters that aren't like bigger than clubs defefinitely has been like an interesting, not just the social media thing, but to kind of figure out how to to sell tickets because I'm kind of I mean kind of in the genre of like L a YouTuber is from a marketing point of view or whatever because it's like, oh it's a cartoon character like and And you know, and I wonder what why it would be like to see them Jy stand in that Jing stand up before. And I and I have no complaints about people coming because of Bosberurgers because it would not be like anyone was coming otherwise. but But yeah, but then it just is like that kind of This person usually has like a huge social media following. S Um So it's always just I mean, this time around, the most recent last few months I' been tryouring I got a publicist for the first time and that helped a ton, like doing like morning shows and stuff. She says you're a really good person, by the way. Oh, that's so kind. Like morning radio shows, like calling into or. I like morning news shows. Oh. I don't know why. I always kind of wanted to do one of those. It looks kind of fun. Pretty fun, they're pretty fun, ye Yeahah. My only experience with one of those was One year, I was working as a publicist and Doug Stanhope had been booked on a morning show U in San Jose, I want to say And I had to get up at you know, five o'clock in the morning or whatever to go pick him up at the hotel And it was just a different guy. And I was he and the a different guy said, Hey, I'm Doug Stanhelp. And I said, Well With all due respect, you're not D. And he's like, yeah, you're right Doug Stanhope told me to tell some but tell everybody that I was him because he didn't want to come. Did he do the interview as Doug Stanhope? And I had to like call my bosses and say like, hey, listen I like told the guy I was like, stay here. sit to have a seat. T to make a quick phone call. I went and called my bosses and was like, Hey, I'm sorry to call you at six o'clock in the morning Let's just say that you were supposed to pick up Doug Stanhope at a hotel, but a different guy told you that he was Doug Stanhope there was like it was just a long silence on the other end of the phone and then they were just like, Well, you didn't know that wasn't Doug Stanhope, right? It was like, yeah, I guess I didn't know that was Doug Stanhope. And I just took him down to the auto show to do the interview. Dan when you do those is it like, do they like set you up for your material? Is it like? No and it's actually Yeah, there's um, they it's always really great. I mean, it's like this but much shorter and it's in the morning and everyone just had coffee. So it like goes pretty pretty quickly and it's retty fun to do. But then yeah, when people are like, so what can they people expect from your standup show? Very hard to figure out. what to say without telling a joke that I don't want to tell a joke because there's one person there. Well, I'll be performing Comedy Yeah, does that help clarify us. I mean, I wish I just try to like earnestly explain it and it just does not . Do you end up like in a green room sitting across the street sitting across a table from like a local business owner and a city cououncil member Uh, I mean, yeah, sometimes it is funny how it depends on the type of morning show But just people on different there's like these two cub sccouts and their sccout master and there's a cook and there's always, yeah, different like characters Like I was on social media on our friend W, Bell's social media And it was just a video of him about to go on a one of those morning. It was like a regional morning show. Yeah. Like I guess it probably airs in like San Francisco, L.A and San Diego or something like that And it was just a video of him and doctor Pimple Popper. Wow. And I was like, this is what they called general interest programming. like holy shit Let's do this. let's take a break. Yeah. Let's get Dr. Pimple Popper in here for our C segment, right? And then we'll wrap it up. We'll be back in just a second on Jordan Jessico L, love Wonderful is a podcast where we talk about things we like.

I walked right into that A No, no It's Jordan Jesse Go, I'm Jesse Thorne America'sadieetheart. Jordan Morris, boy, Detective Dan Mintz. Dm I supposed to say the same thing as before? Same different Whate Whatever you feel in your heart, M manan detective. Where are the men? Help me. You gotta get out, pllas Glnd let's hear me out a detective, but he's a man. I can rental car. Do whatever. He doesn't have to borrow money from his mom if he needs to get phot c made That's one of the big bum. You know, they say like when it's not until you become an adult that you find out what's really special about being an adult is that you've always got your own photoc copy money. Y exactly. L your own scenes Dan Mints a well rounded entertainer is the name of your comedy special I think people This is my feeling about this special lookook Danmates's comedy is not for everybody. Only watch Dan Mint's spepecial If you like two hundred perfect jokes. If that sounds like something that you would enjoy, then watch Dan Mint is spepecial. If that sounds like something you wouldn't like. Perhaps because you like only whatever it is that Jordan and I do. Saying things and then laughing at them. I will say I don't have a lot of like two roommates from college that went to college M our romance. I don't have lot of people talking that went to college together. We weren't roommates, but we did for a while have rooms one of our room one our rooms is immediately above.. That's a big This will be you people who listen to the show will love the show. Yeah. Yeah.. You were saying this is not, you know, video of you on stage, it's animated. It's an animated Yeah It's you know, Tig Notaro did a really funny anime special a few years ago and I always felt like That's what people would know me most for is the animated character and I didn't really It didn't really make sense to do kind of what Tig did or you know, like Shortyiess watching shhortyies or that kind of thing where it's hand ming the jokes. I do one liner. so I was, you know, tried to think of some other kind of conceptual things and I was really excited about what I thought of and it also broke up the joke so I didn't have to tell quite as many jokes didn fill up the whole time I mean, what's nice about this is it really ups your production Yes, it really made it cost more. I was going. Animated by Bento Boss. the folks that animated Bob's Burgers. That's so Did you have to have a series of meetings about what real life animated Dan Mint looks like Yeah, we did. there was a whole de. before we actually I made the whole special, I had Lauren, the creator, his company had like helped me make like a three minute animatic to kind of figure out all the designs and what's to look like. And I do, it is interesting to, you know, I'm always like, well, this it looks kind of like fununny looking is what I look like. like, well, is like a comedy show. I mean part I mean, I would think part of it is L And this is something you probably deal with on stage is people are hesitant to accept jokes from Is it okay for me to say an ultra hunk? It is like a mega hunk. Is it okay for me to describe Dan is a mega hunk? can say you can say a true fact. Yeah. that's what I run into yeah. So people have a hard time accepting humor from a mega hunk And so animating the special gives you a chance to put a few warts on that perfect p. Yeah. Like when I started doing standup, I' had a lot of kind of Ronnie Dangerfield, like don't women don't like me. And people were so confused by that. And then I would be like, That's I'm very Ronny Dangerfield's leegendary cress women don' Hey, women don't like me Yeah But people I think people had a lot of trouble picturing that no one would that anyone would not respect me at all. Right Right whichich is good found You're known as the Colin Powell of comedy. This guy commands respect in any room he walks into. I'm the gravitas comic.. Okay.'s there's more to life than comedy. Theyrely likes comedy, but make it Conka But but I mean, but honestly, I do I do like that I'm pretty self conscious when I watch myself stand up in just any little kind of nervous thing I do and then I was like, I didn't have to worry about that at all. because I'm just like, yeah, don't have me to do my hands like this dont that I don't like and don't. You know, I don't like that angle of me. So That would that that was that was great. And yeah, they did. It did have to be like we're not like we can't make them too handsome It's like okay, okay. what I'll just trust that you think this weird looking guy, I guess looks like me. And you know just like, but guys, you're gonna You're gonna give him a pretty hefty hog, right? You gota that up. always I don't know if you know notice animation they have to draw the naked body first before they draw the clothes on. Right. Yeahah. I mean that was like a big thing. My understanding was you kind of like glue the clothes Yeah on top Yeah and they get the little tabs that fold on. Yeah. Christian throwing up a little visual from the special up there. That's a handsome cartoon dann C right Yeah. It's almost as sswer as real life Dan, but I do think that they they sanded off a few edges so that people wouldn't become too chumesscent Yeah you got to be focused. That's a problem. I mean, I imagine if people are out of the club, you're going to have a hard time hearing the jokes over the sound of their Reproductive organs filling with blood Yeah just like Yeah, there's like little screens you put on the croud micsock out They loock out the fapping. of the loud deafening Heck did you are Did you bring the no saap screet? You a keepemster guy there? He has like a best grip. I don't know. Yeah. She's early old Hey Union two twenty four Fap screeners. Yes. That's fun, right? And these are jobs that are disappearing people. AI put A fab screens on everybody R production doesn't sound as good. Here's some incredible warmth Although I will say that he did that Dan did animate this in Croatia just because there are some really good tax incentives on Fab screening there. Yeah. Yeah, it's basically free. The Croats, I mean, they pay you to screen fabs. These Croats yes Oh I do. Oh I do. I've heard your stand up comedy, Jessse. Dan, it's been a delight to have you here. I hope everyone will go check out the special because it is so fucking. we got into advanced screener of it It's so fucking funny. Oh, thanks so much It's so great. And as I said, your publicist thinks you're a really nice guy I emailed her back. I said, I happen to have seenmost failed so I might take that with a She replied, She replied, he is very funny. And may I also add Wonderful, hum'an be wonderful Well I appreciate that him so that. he's a very wonderful publicist Thanks to Dan and thanks to Pam. you should tell her that more because she said that she thinks you hate Well, you have to motivate people. That's why I That's true. That's true to air this with hold with your affection. Yeah, I feel like you and Judy are always doing a kind of a good cup backad cup.
