Eh Game, with Jimmy Pardo

In this nostalgic and playful episode of Jordan, Jesse, Go, hosts Jordan Morris and Jesse Thorne welcome legendary podcasting pioneer Jimmy Pardo to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Never Not Funny. The conversation kicks off with a major tease about the upcoming appearance of the 'Stankus Boys'—two young comic creators behind a handmade zine about a fart-powered sewer rat superhero—sparking excitement and humor around their discovery via a listener’s LinkedIn find. The hosts and Pardo dive into the absurdity of autograph culture, sharing personal stories of bad signatures, childhood fan letters, and the bizarre 'address book' that once contained celebrity phone numbers. Pardo recounts his own signature evolution from 'Jim' to 'Jimmy,' while the trio roasts their own notoriously illegible autographs, with Jordan’s signature earning a particularly brutal 'thumbs down.' The episode also explores the emotional weight of collecting, the irony of selling cherished memorabilia on eBay, and the dark side of obsessive fandom, including a disturbing story about an autograph collector who hid in closets to get signatures. The segment ends with a heartfelt call from a listener celebrating her recovery from cervical cancer and her role in campus music groups, prompting a touching moment of solidarity and a playful 'son' joke to honor her journey.
