Jordan, Jesse GO!
What is the dumbest show you can imagine? This award-winning show may be dumber. It has no content. No format. Yet it's going on ten years of delighting hundreds of thousands of people. It's been an iTunes editors choice, and Rolling Stone picked it as one of the world's best comedy podcasts. It's light in the dark, comfort in the cold and a penguin in the pants (long story). Join hosts Jesse Thorn (NPR's Bullseye) and Jordan Morris (Comedy Central's @Midnight) and a celebrity guest on a raucous, vulgar and warm-hearted romp that will probably leave you a better person. And will certainly make you dumber.

Nick Wiger, Mike Mitchell (Doughboys Podcast), and Allie Goertz (Round Springfield podcast) join Jordan and Jesse on stage at the Angel City Brewery in a very hot room in downtown Los Angeles for the final show of the Summer Boys of Summer Tour. Jesse drops a Hang It Up, Keep It Up and Allie sings a few great songs, and Nick and Mitch play the final round of Erotic Novel, Grindcore Song, or Some Shit We Made Up. (With a special surprise appearance by Ben Harrison (The Greatest Generation podcast). Plus, Aimee Mann gives us a very special momentous occasion: a song about Jordan's cat Bug! (See the video here!)

Dino Archie (I've Changed album) joins Jordan and Jesse for a discussion of Jordan's newest idea to combine two of the show's interests -- celebrity alcohol and Walton Goggins, Jesse and Jordan's friend Nick in college who lived a psychotic minimalist lifestyle, and how undignified it is to make a sea lion dance to an outdated Beyonce song for his supper.
