Show notes

The list of people I’ve cohosted ska shows with is a short one

indeed. It’s like going into battle with someone, really — a battle that
trades the gunfire and mortar of trench warfare for song request from
teenage Reel Big Fish fans, but a battle nonetheless. It’s the sort of
experience that forms life-long bonds. Our careers have taken
divergent paths since then — both of us eventually coming to the
realization that ska radio DJ just isn’t the lucrative career path it
once was. Jordan has made a name for himself in the Los Angeles comedy scene,
thanks in no small part to his role in podcasts like The Sound of Young
America and a titular co-hosting gig on the long-running comedy program,
Jordan, Jesse Go. After a hilarious stint cohosting red carpet
and movie junket interviews for extreme sport cable channel Fuel TV,
Morris landed himself a position as a writer on the popular Comedy
Central series, @Midnight, a gig that recently brought him out to New
York City for a week. We caught up over some whiskey and a
couple of microphones in between whirlwind schedule of podcast
appearances at a bar in Astoria, Queens to talk success,
superheroesvmovies and, naturally, ska.
