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.

JJGo Will Cheer You Up

Jordan, Jesse and their guests are guaranteed to bring some levity to your life. This is the rare inane chat-cast that brings heart, humour and happiness to your day. Things can get raunchy, things can get real. Things are always dealt with aplomb and will leave you feeling better.

Jordan is one of the quickest wits and funniest people working in comedy. Jesse is an agile and able broadcast professional who can bring nuance and humour to so many topics. He’s funny too, but he’ll tell you Jordan is the funnier of their duo.

You can’t go wrong with Maximum Fun. If they’ve got a niche podcast that relates to any interest it will become an instant favourite.

sanity in inverted commas

Been listening to JJGo for 8 years now and it’s remained a guaranteed pick-me-up whatever else might be going on. Hearing Jordan, Jesse and their guests spin comedy from life’s minutiae has become an even more important touchstone of ‘sanity’ in recent times - even as far away as Australia.
Thanks for this show and for the extended Max Fun constellation, including Jordan’s new baby, Bubble.
