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.

Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal (Good Mythical MorningThe Lost Causes of Bleak Creek novel) join Jordan and Jesse for a discussion of Jordan's toilet clogging hack that put him at risk for an embarrassing grocery store run-in, the time Rhett and Link cold read fan fiction about themselves on air, and how they tackled the project of writing their first novel -- The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek.
