My buddy Jordan Rubin was asked by Comedy Central to host a new tech-themed online talk show called (wait for it) THE DOWNLOAD. Get it? Because we’re talking about tech and the Internet but it’s also a play on the expression “the downlow.” As in “keep it on the downlow,” not like, “hey, my wife doesn’t know I have sex with men because I’m on the downlow.” I’m just digging a hole for myself here, moving on…
Jordan asked me to be his co-host (you may remember that we used to do a podcast together) and I was mad honored, especially because our first guest was the incredibly awesome Jerry O’Connell. You may recognize his name from like, every movie ever and all those headlines a few years back when he married a supermodel, no bigs. One of my favorite parts of our interview was when we were able to get him to admit that he’s totally been on Twitter for about a year now and that he’s totally secretly into it. You can find out his handle if you watch the video.
Another pretty cool thing? Our theme song was made by none other than Money Mark from the Beastie Boys. He got all of the sounds that make up the theme by using materials he found in a junkyard like old car horns and random machines that I don’t even know the names of. Pretty rad.
