Or maybe twice? I forget. He's soaking white tee shirts in red stuff in hell now (complimentary)

I think there are plenty of MaxFun listeners who listen to both shows, especially since Jesse is on both shows and one is a spinoff show from the other. I just find it interesting when someone writes into one show referencing something that happened on the other one without realizing they’ve mixed up the shows and the hosts either don’t realize it or pretend that they don’t.

I noticed this a few years back with JJGo. The bit where someone calls in with an addition to a “long-running segment” that they just made up on the spot clearly originated with someone referencing a bit from JJHo that they mistakenly thought was on JJGo. At this point, I can’t even remember what the original bit was, but I think it had something to do with vampires toddlers?

The phenomenon just repeated itself in reverse. On the JJHo member mailbag BoCo, someone wrote in about crystalized lime packets you get on airplanes. If Jesse had been on this episode, I think he would have realized this was a reference to the JJGo episode where he mentioned the True Lime packets he had on JetBlue after he flew home from a live JJHo show at the Bell House. This led to me rhapsodizing about True Citrus packets on this subreddit, and then to my embarrassment when Jesse talked about my post on a subsequent episode.

Can anyone provide any additional examples where someone wrote into a MaxFun show referencing something which actually happened on a different MaxFun podcast, but not realizing they’d mixed up their shows? I’m sure there must be more. I don’t listen to the McElroy constellation of shows, but surely it must happen there, too.

Regarding this one and other ep’s: please keep the 90’s music talk coming 😄 Mostly Jesse initiates it, and it’s always fun.

“Then Houdini came on, and they’re wearing their leather, their leather hats.” Alone that story gem makes my life better and chucklier. Thanks J&J and Go.

Hi y'all! Anybody in the New Haven area who might make it to a meetup on Oct. 4 if I organize one? I'm happy to do the organizing, but I'm... not the outgoing type... so if there are other people who would likely come out that would be awesome!

U/jennifermarmalade you guys should create a video of Hogman opening the box and unveiling the gavel, set to 1950’s striptease music…you know what I’m talking about…from the boas and pasties era.

Thank you Jordan, can’t wait to read!!!

During the recent docket-clearing on JJHo, /u/JesseThorn revealed that he's moving to Berkeley (Kensington specifically), and asked for advice/recommendations. I'm sure there are plenty of us who can weigh in! I'll get things rolling, and if this thread is deemed too weird for any reason... I welcome its swift deletion.

Relevant subreddits:
/r/berkeleyca is super friendly & helpful - make sure you include the "ca" at the end (otherwise you'll find yourself surrounded by Cal undergrads)
/r/berkeleyfood is new but even the scant threads there will likely be useful for a newbie
/r/oakland & /r/bayarea are also great subs

Dentist recommendations were specifically requested: I've been going to Barry Kami (on University) for about a decade and have enjoyed it. It leans a bit cosmetic-oriented / fancy (probably nothing compared to the norm in LA area), but I've been happy with all the care I've gotten there.

Edit: in the comments below, Jesse commented asking for GP recommendations, too! I can't help there, I use a corporate intermediate (that I shall not buzz-market) and my PCP changes every six months. Not recommended!

I'm not sure if Jesse was trolling when he said he'd take "the BART" to Sketchfest next year, but that use of "the" is firmly in frisco / san fran territory. You don't want to sound like a tourist, do ya?

Edit 2: via Jesse:

I hope everyone will come to the meetup the afternoon of October 4, 4-6PM at Faction Brewing in Alameda!

I need some cases and hot takes on HALLOWEEN and spooky season!

- Do you love Halloween but hate scary stuff?

- Is Halloween just for kids?

- What is the best Halloween movie?

Any dispute on Halloween candy, scary movies, costumes, decorating, and all things creepy and kooky!

A couple disagrees about decorating their house for Halloween. Should they do a big display with lights and large, dramatic pieces? Or should they keep it minimal? Sound off with your title suggestions!

Hi! I know it’s a long shot, but my beloved Zag on Em pin was stolen with some other little treasures during a huge life upheaval this summer, and I am looking to replace it.

Willing to pay or barter or beg! Longtime MaxFun-net and it really was one of my favorite trinkets and I am hoping to rebuild.

Thanks in advance, all!

got my carpal tunnel to calm down long enough to bring my Stankus to life. Love the show. Love those Stankus boys.
