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.

Pleasantly funny

Just a couple goofy guys and a guest talking about whatever! Part of my weekly listen, I rarely miss an episode. I put this on when I’m too emotionally fatigued for current events, or too mentally drained for anything educational. Just a lighthearted, stress-free bit of comedy. Keep it up guys!

Been here forever.

JJGO is a huge part of who I am. Thanks Jordan, Jesse, and every guest who has stopped in.
