Chapter 1: What band did Conan and Jordan discuss?
Of course, we just heard Rush. Oh, yeah. And that's one of your favorite bands, if not your favorite band of all time.
You hear the growl of that Moog synthesizer, indicative of early 80s synthesizers. No, it's actually Moog. It's a Dutch name. It's actually pronounced Moog, if you really want to be accurate. All right.
Hey, do me a favor. Yes. Just a quick favor. There's a little slice there of Go Fuck Yourself Pie. Would you have just a little taste right there?
I know a lot of people equate synthesizers with the late 80s sound, that is to say, bright and blaring. I'm talking specifically about 86, 87, and 88, the most horrible, arguably, year. But when you talk about early 80s, there's more of a buzzy synthesizer sound.
Chapter 2: How does Conan describe the essence of the show?
You came out of the gate so hot, so fast, that we're in danger of scaring off the listener, even big fans of yours. So just take it easy, take a breath, and let me introduce people to the concept of of Conan and Jordan having a show together. I'm constantly stopped in the streets by people who say, you have that crazy Jordan character. Is he real? And I say, yes, he's absolutely real.
And we thought, what better way to delight the SiriusXM listener than by capturing some of that magic right here in the studio. And that's why you're here, Jordan. Okay, I understand. And we play that song up front because you have made it very clear you love Rush. You love that Tom Sawyer song. And...
And we're here to learn more about you and maybe learn more about our relationship, how we get along, and how we relate to each other. I as human, you as robot from the future. I see. Sent here to destroy us.
I'm not completely convinced that we have a show. I feel like when most people get a show, there's some kind of feeling of accomplishment. Will I be financially compensated for this? We'll talk about that.
I haven't been engaged. You should just be proud. That you're here with Conan O'Brien and that your thoughts are being captured and put out into the atmosphere. I think that's the achievement. Money, what does money do? Money just muddies the waters. It soils the whole enterprise, don't you believe?
I think my artistic services should be adequately compensated.
Well, first of all, you're calling yourself an artist now? Yes. Because you can babble on about a Moog, Moomk synthesizer at length? Moog. And if you're an artist, what is your medium? A spoken word, clearly. Oh, okay. All right. All right. Some work in oils, some, of course, in clays. You work in raw irritation. You're a difficult guy to speak to, and yet I overcome...
I overcome my irritation to be with you today because it clearly does delight people. Okay. And that's why we're here. And there's so much to talk about, first of all, when I, I won't name the protein bar, but I have a protein bar here and you noticed it and you mistook it for a candy bar at first, but it's just a protein bar. It's covered in chocolate, right? I don't think that's chocolate.
That's not chocolate? There's a brown substance coating your candy bar? Yeah. I don't even know what that is, but it's not chocolate. It doesn't taste good enough to be chocolate.

Chapter 3: Why does Conan tease Jordan about his dietary choices?
Jordan, what do you think what you're doing right now is worth monetarily?
Yeah.
Is this your art right now? What I'm saying is bullying someone. This is a slow burn. Why don't you go to go for like rapid fire laughs? We're here. People are driving to work. This is slow and steady.
Okay, anyone listening to this right now has probably stopped their car along the side of a road and possibly is thinking of ending it all. So don't make any assumptions about what the listener is doing, okay? I don't know what's in here. I actually don't have my glasses in studio. Here, let me borrow yours, Frank. Look, Frank is letting me borrow his glasses. I can't reveal the name of the bar.
Protein blend, soy protein isolate, calcium. Right out of the gate.
Genetically modified?
Is it genetically modified? Well, I am. I've been genetically modified. No one's this funny naturally or this good looking. Yeah. It's sodium casinate. All this stuff that was in the Bible, in the Old Testament. Okay. Alkalized cocoa.
Why don't you try like a Rise branded bar, which is just like 100% whey protein.
Okay? All right.

Chapter 4: What are Jordan's thoughts on breakfast cereals?
Yeah. those are not... I want specific... You're telling me about companies. I want to know the names of the cereals. Tell me the names of the cereals. Oh, great connoisseur of foods.
Tell me what these are. First of all, I do not believe that any breakfast... Every breakfast cereal is healthy, okay? Even if they're marketed as such, even if they don't have added sugar. I believe the whole concept of extruding wheat or other grains is indigestible to the body, makes the body work hard.
Even a supposedly healthy cereal like Cheerios, which is marketed as having whole grains, I don't think is healthy for the human body. That's my own belief. I'm sorry if I get the show in trouble for saying so. Not at all.
Not at all. Now. No, not at all. Not at all. And first of all, I'm going to make it clear. Those are your views, not mine. Yes. All these cereal companies you mentioned, I'm a big fan of. I love those companies and I'd love to be in business with them. And I'm willing to hawk or market anything that they're selling. I don't care if it's irradiated. I have no soul. But you, Jordan.
If I'm going to fall off the wagon, understanding that I don't believe any of them are healthy, I'm going to go for the maximum impact, satiate my craving so that craving goes away and life storm it for another 30 years. three to four years.
Give me the name.
OK, so, well, I made some new discoveries recently, but historically, I would say my holy grail, my guilty pleasure would have been like Froot Loops. Now, regarding Froot Loops, you have an American version of Froot Loops and you have a British version of Froot Loops.
Wait a minute. There's a British version of Froot Loops? Hold on. They have a British version of Froot Loops? First question, is Toucan Sam on the box or is it a different bird? No, it is Toucan Or is their bird a lady, which is what the Brits refer to as a lady?
Who says Toucan Sam isn't a lady. Sam is a gender neutral name. Very good. I like the way you've evolved. Go ahead. There are certain regulations in the European Union that prohibit the use of artificial colors, for example. So the Froot Loops in the UK have different colors. They're colored by natural products, turmeric, spinach, things like this.

Chapter 5: How do Conan and Jordan differ on cereal brands?
If that's your face. I don't need a violent explosion to tell me something is wrong. I know I can detect subtleties in my body and my own digestion. Well, how subtle was it? You may not have even noticed it, but I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I'm not sitting, I'm not hanging out by your toilet.
Why do you keep bringing out the toilet? Because you mentioned the toilet.
I said there were digestive instabilities. Digestive instability usually means one thing. For you it does, because you're a man of extremes, okay? So you hear this and you imagine... You imagine a man on a toilet bowl, you know, beat red face, sweat flying off his body.
What are you talking about?
What I'm telling you is, do you need to know this particulars? Isn't the fact that there's digestive instability already a red flag to stay away from life cereal? Again, no, no offense to the Quaker Road Company. This was only my company.
This is my own. Don't mention the companies. I do a lot of business out there. I am a very business friendly comic. What?
What I'm saying is I prize my gastrointestinal stability. I like to have certain conditions. I like to feel empty, light, okay? Light on my feet. I don't want to be bloated.
I don't want excess bulk. I just want to be empty. You don't want to be running to the toilet at three in the morning. Listen to me. Does the toilet scream when it sees you coming?
There's a pressure. It's a subtle pressure. OK, you feel a pressure in your bowel. Yeah, sometimes. And it's very subtle. OK, it's not that subtle. So the problem is when you have when you have this pressure, it desensitizes the bowel to what normal pressure should feel like. Anyway, regardless, let's move on from that. So I eliminated.

Chapter 6: What are the comedic highlights of Conan and Jordan's banter?
You can eat your soy protein, impervious to any criticism, while I'll consume high-quality whey protein, and once every three years, I'll have some lucky charms.
All right, well, I think we've exhausted this issue. And by the way, that means that you've exhausted me. I want nothing more to do with you. We're going to take a little break. We'll be right back. Hey, we're back. I'm here with my co-host, Jordan Schlansky. Jordan, when I walk this earth and I do walk this earth, people are always asking me about you. Do you get questions when you walk around?
Do people come up to you and say, hey, I know you, you're that guy, Jordan? They do. Yeah. And what's their, what do you hear from those people? What's the feedback you're getting?
Well, the mere fact that people approach and oftentimes want a photo or a selfie already tells me that they're appreciative of the work that I guess you and I do together, the artistic work, our contribution.
Well, people have tried, you know, if they see Sasquatch, they try and get a photo. So it's not always a compliment. It's like, oh, Jesus, there it is. Let me try and get a photo of it in real life before it scurries away. But people are nice to you.
Yes, they are.
Do they question you about our relationship in real life?
I can't recall any questions about you in particular. Oh, really?
They're not interested in me at all?

Chapter 7: How does Jordan handle public recognition?
You don't like dogs? I'm not responsible for the U.S. financial system and the business model that exists where if you work, you get paid for that work. I didn't invent that, but nevertheless, that's where we are. Your eyes are crazy again. I'm just going through life in this society like everyone else.
Your eyes are insane again. Right. Are you aware what happens to your eyes? Want me to do it for you? I don't know. Your eyes get very wide. Okay. There's a sharp break, a crazy break in the eyebrows, and you get a frozen smile, otherwise known as a rictus, a frozen smile of a grinning ghoul.
The smile that a corpse gets when it starts to, you know, decompose, the muscles pull back and it gets a frozen, eerie, crazy smile. The death mask. That's your face.
These are my human expressions. I did not craft this. I didn't ask for this body. I was given this musculature.
No one asked for that.
I was given this facial structure, and that's the way my facial structure reacts to any number of stimuli. But you could work on it.
Have you worked on trying to have a regular smile?
No, I have not worked on trying to have a regular smile.
Well, you should work on it a little bit. You know, you only get one life. You don't want to walk around and every time. What do your kids think when you start smiling on their birthday and they think, why is that? I haven't had my smile other than they're terrified of you. I haven't had your children don't want to talk to you. They're terrified of you. Sometimes a child is too afraid.
