having two sane, well dressed and articulate people on really illuminates the Delaware Den in an insane hue…. plus gay Santa and the jenson grinch wraps it all up nicely.

Ian getting ganged up on really made him melt down. Love to see the chaos unfold.

That Anthony Jeselnik impression was insane

only ian and jordan would put out a christmas episode a week late

This pod is genuinely great

The chaos of this podcast...I can't get enough

Just wanted to say, I love the contrast of the intro song's chill vibe with how chaotic the pod is, has a similar effect that the trailer park boys theme music has on that show. I know you guys have been talking about changing the music, which would be cool too but there's something about the current one that just feels so right. Anyway, thanks for providing lots of laughs throughout what has been a rough year, I really appreciate it

The udder silence after Ian said “wanna come to the bathroom with me and sword fight?” HAD ME DYING. 😂😂

every episode is like i’m watching a ren and stimpy episode in live action i love this

Hi JP! Hi Francis! You both did great on this show. It really begs the question of why they don’t bring you guys back again soon. 😂

Walked into the room while this was playing and I legit thought Jeselnik was on the pod for a second 😂

swear to god the theme song to this pod including the horn in the beginning.. these sounds are what i want to start EVERY MORNING for the rest of forever. thank u for ur service

can we please have this foursome on at least once a year?!?! holy shit this was fun.

My favorite episode is when they argued about begging the question for a LOOOOOONG time

as usual, it decends into chaos almost immediately, but, then, you knew that, didn't you? jordan as "the crinch" is perfect

Yo these dudes should be on every week this is amazing

When Jordan laughs I always think my cat is trying to get into my room

Ian's Steve-O was FUCKIN' EPIC!!!😭🤣😂😆👏👏👏

Wait wait wait- are those two couches the same size?! Ian & Jordan fit very comfortably on their couch with PLENTY of room to gesticulate. The two dudes look like they ate an Alice in Wonderland “eat me” cake and they OUT GREW their couch.

Shoutout to Francis for saying what we all want someone to say to Ian and Jordan and shoutout to McDade for playing dad and holding onto the cane (and auditing 😂). Another great loony bin episode 😂

Francis and JP are great considering they look like Dad's that get on one knee to ask their kids to please behave or else no Disney trip this summer.

When they gang up on Ian and make him feel dumb and he just crumbles and Jordan is just having the time of her life hahahahha

Francis is a natural aristocrat. I instinctively feel that I should do his bidding.

They were double booked but they came dressed the same 😂

I love Francis, he has an air of zen about him, he's always calm it seems, and he's effortless funny, or maybe he's just a soulless empty husk of a man.

This pod puts my brain in a pretzel in the best way

“You used to pitch for the 1940’s American Yankees “ is the funniest cutest sh## ever. Jordan & Ian are cute baby darlings.

*love how jordan gets caught lying all the time but will switch subjects really fast then accuses ian of moving the goal post of his statement as if shes the innocent one*

Jp’s ian bits were brilliant

holy fuck perfect costumes

The laugh that came out of me. Lightning in a bottle. I've never hit that register. Had to say it. Thank you!

I love the intro song, and this is Ian's pod first and foremost! :)P

Jordan letting Ian be confident in himself is heartwarming❤

Holy shit that jeselnik impression was crazy good

Jordan in the grinch costume is cracking me up

My favourite people

One of the better episodes!! Great pod!!

I always assumed "Begs the question" was short for "Begets the question". Basically that thing you just said has raised additional questions.

i love ian. bless his wee santa socks. aw this turmoil. poor lad. sending him a hug.

Never heard of these comics but I’m happy I have now

Havent seen Francis in a long time. What a gem

"She couldn't even commit to being a guy"😂😂😂🙌

Amazing guests! Amazing episode! These guys need to come on more regularly!

very good foursome

33:28 ^this is my favorite moment JP sets up the perfect synopsis, Ian fails at understanding, and JP has a jubilant laugh celebrating how dumb Ian is

This episode was absolutely unhinged and I live for it ❤️

I love Jordan so much im willing to put up with Ian's shit.

Love JP and Francis is great! As bizarre as this was it was awesome

Francis you’re the best. Great show boys.

I love Francis! So funny😂

this ep was so fun! the guests killed it. i know ur reading, francis. ur really funny.

Show your work Ian! Hahahaha!

That was awesome--HUGE props for the John C. Calhoun reference--I thought I was the only one thinking that until he said it...

"I'm gonna pee my grinch pants!" 😂

This was a great mix, should have them on again.

Ian DEFINITELY needs to be in the program again. The episode of Bi Guys with Brendan and Katie made that so clear, it was legit crazy.

The question can't beg.

Please get duncan trussell on here I want to see Jordan get unhinged from his inevitable metaphysical rants

When Ian gets attacked, his defense mechanism is going full Tim Robinson 😂😂😂

Theres something about Ellis that makes me laugh so much, that passive aggressive north eastern sociopath sense of humor really hits home lol.

never change the intro

Everyone forgets that this was just Ian in the beginning and Jordan joined later.

This podcast is exactly the right amount of ADHD I need!!! 😂

This is a whole new podcast that needs to happen regularly. With it's own channel and the whole shit. At LEAST a monthly on this channel. DO IT.

The comedian guest duo I didn’t know I needed. They were mistakenly double booked but JP and Francis coincidentally wearing matching outfits begs the question …

"You're talking about wanting normalcy," "I do! I do!" "--and you're shopping in the looney bin."

Ian's never gonna make Varsity Debate Team 😂

Everyone’s fighting 30min in, feels like home.

Hmm. 🤔 Not sure how successful Ian's ladder climbing is if he he has 'four points of contact at all times' 😂

Francis is very underrated

“What would you beg in that question” 😂😂

Was that the first time Ian held the Shofar for Jordan? Adorable. Also that grinch mask is terrifying 🤣🤣🤣🔥

This is the realest podcast

I just discovered this pod from FB clips and omg Jordan kills me

New big big fan of these big men. Thanks Ian and Jordan for the fun introduction

very enjoyable

Guys guys guys. “Begs the question” ISN’T about a question. It’s about a flawed argument. Normal arguments go: A and B therefore C, where you’re using A and B to prove C is true. But when you “beg the question”, you’re saying A and B therefore C, where A and B are already ASSUMING C is true. In which case, you’re not arguing or proving anything. You’re going in circles. You’re “begging” your own “question.” The point is 99.9% of people who use “beg the question” are using it wrong. It really should only be used in philosophy or logic papers. What people are really trying to say is “raises the question”, but “beg the question” is so misused that we think it has the same meaning. Conclusion: never use “beg the question” because more likely than not you’re using it wrong. Love the pod and I’m happy to see getting my philosophy degree was of some use.

Thanks for all the laughs this year !

I’ve watched like 3 episodes of this show, came to this one for Francis, I should watch a lot more

Francis you need to convince Sas to do this podcast so I can watch him have an anxiety attack

I'm really looking forward to JP "Just Patreon" McDade's special, shout out to Jeb Kush.

“I’m liquid dark dude I’m the opposite of gaslight”

Someone get Ian a Snickers bar asap!

Bought tix for San Francisco to see Ian !!! (Hi Ethan

Begs the question means you now have to ask a follow up question because the previous statement prompts for further information. Ian is correct.

Legit love Francis Ellis! Dudes the man

This has become my fav podcast

WTF?! (The question Ian often begs)

"CONK shell" flew over like a led balloon

such an unhinged episode. awesome

Jordan in that grinch costume though 😏

All of these men are hilarious

“Is this a real story?” 😂

Ian being right about begging the question from the beginning is so funny

Two “Straight man” characters, as in purely logical and conformed, being double booked was the best. The ashy aware of McDade too. Great Pod. More straight man character personalities.

Being Jordan with Ian

Hell ya yall have good chemistry

the beg the question conversation was without a doubt the most infuriating thing i’ve seen on this podcast and that’s saying a lot, but also jp was right

Killer ep
