Whilst in LA last weekend, I stopped by the tony Silverlake manse of one Jesse Thorn, owner/operator of the The Sound of Young America and Jordan Jesse Go!

Check out this week's JJG! podcast to hear us discuss hip-hop feuds, spanakopita, and a buttload of other interesting stuff.

It's Veteran's day, and listener David (himself a Vet) is trying to respond to well wishers without sounding like a total doucher, plus are we on Leno (show) Deathwatch? And, seriously TV newsfolks, you gotta RESPECT THE COMMA.

On today's show, is this Chia 'Fro Obama really okay?

Plus, an on-the-ground report from NYC on if Tracy Morgan is officially losing his sh**, and The Most Interesting Man In The World has died (not the guy from those beer ads, a real dude), we'll discuss how his life makes your life seem really pathetic.

On Thursday afternoon we drove to San Simeon, CA to see the Hearst Castle. Jason was interested in the architect out of Berkley (Julia Morgan) and I was basically not that interested but it would be too cold to wait in the car.

These are the reasons I hate tours:

1) You almost always have to ride a bus and you aren't allowed to have coffee, or any order drink or food (this one didn't allow chewing gum, cell phones or iPods....I guess so we wouldn't miss one word of the recorded message playing over the speakers.

2) The tour guides constantly ask where everyone is from; what is the point of this?

3) The kinds of people on the tour:

a) "know it alls" who like to augment the guide and written material;
b) "know nothings" like the woman who asked if Patty Hearst was any relation;
c) "hall monitors" who shush and remind you to stay on the tour carpet;
d) "dimwits who don't get it" (we went in a room with a ceiling from 15th century Spain. This guy next to me couldn't understand the concept of buying a ceiling from an old house in Spain and shipping it to California. He just kept saying over and over, "but this house is here")
e) stragglers who are so amazed by every little thing that the whole tour has to stay in the entryway to the dining room for 15 minutes while they look at a candlestick
f) "snarky brats" like me who hunch in the back annoyed, judging everyone and making sarcastic comments under her breath.

Who's worse?

On today's show (once again from LA)... The Berlin Wall came down 20 years ago, back then Luke was very very confused about what exactly was going on, now he's only mildly confused, plus Shut It Down America! on talking about whether or not Muslims should be in the U.S. military, and Dr. Steve Brule has a very special message about eating tainted hamburger.

See you then!
