BORN FUNNY EP54 | PurplePingers: "The Next Closest Thing To A Pedophile Is A Real Estate Agent"

In this episode of Born Funny, Jimmy & Nath welcome Jordan van den Lamb, also known as PurplePingers, for an unpredictable conversation. After enduring some technical hiccups and awkward ironing board-shaped desks, the boys dive into Jordan's unique brand of humor, which he insists is more a "happy accident" than intentional comedy. Jordan, a proud South African by birth and Sydney-sider by upbringing, shares his thoughts on growing up awkward, his deep-rooted political views, and his accidental rise to internet fame. Despite being unsure if he’s funny, his satirical takes on Australia's rental crisis have struck a chord with many, but he still faces negative reactions regularly. From his family’s boisterous South African shouting matches to his self-deprecating tales of painting Warhammer miniatures (badly), Jordan brings his humor and insight into his law background, his passion for social justice, and his disdain for real estate agents.  With the conversation veering between laughs and deeper discussions, Jordan reflects on how humor has helped him cope with the darkest moments of his career working in child sex abuse and how he balances public service with his advocacy for affordable housing.  TUNE IN AS PURPLEPINGERS SITS DOWN WITH JIMMY & NATH TO FIND OUT IF HE WAS BORN FUNNY!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
