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.

Momentous occasion

This is just the second review I’ve written for a podcast. I got into MaxFun through Judge John Hodgman, a spinoff of JJGo, and have been nothing but delighted by the podcast community offered by MaxFun. Jordan and Jesse are consistently hilarious with a self-deprecating charm. I have utmost respect for the Thorne family and hope that Jordan ends up with a son or trans-masc son at some point. I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and a PANK(professional aunt, no kids) and I share my home with a feline named Mariposa and a corgo named Llewelyn. Anyway, love the show! I’m a summer boy for lyfe!

The dumbest, best podcast

JJGO is silly and fun and kind and hilarious and warm and smart and dumb and probably my favorite podcast ever.

Always at the Top of My List

Beloved and long running nonsense podcast, hosts Jordan and Jesse have an almost magical touch when it comes to merging their comedic energy with the week’s guest. I love it. They’re great. My only complaint is that I can’t listen to it while exercising because it’s made me fall over with a cramp from laughing while running multiple times.
