I never thought I’d see beetle juice as sexy, but Damn she pulled that off.

[@John-mf1sz]

I saw somebody get stabbed outside of the Pittsburgh Improv once, lol:

[@leannmitan1533]

"it's a hunk-a-hunk-a burnin' shit" really got me 🤣

[@pucz8215]

When I feel bad myself I put on this pod for 5 minutes to hear Jordan talk and i instantly feel better

[@djcbal]

Kyle and Jordan's argument: Did you choose to be born? Ian's argument: BUT I'M STILL CHOOSING TO BE ALIVE!?!?!?!

[@FEENTHEMUSIC]

Sometimes Ian's "Elvis" impersonation looks like he's doing a Chris Farley impersonation. 💯 😂😂😂

[@serenayflamenca]

Jordan looks so happy and comfortable as Beetlejuice 😂😂😂😂

[@cripplingclaustrophobia]

The skeleton made the best points in the no free will convo.

[@Elducko05]

15:28 i found it so wholesome when Jordan hands Kyle the little rat on the shitty and saying "That's my best friend" in the midst of all the chaos.

[@JoannaSternbergYoutube]

same. 🥹

[@io.]

lmfao ian as elvis is perfect. so funny. also this podcast may have the best intro video/music of all-time. weirdly nostalgic and wholesome.

[@BeinIanPod]

Ahh thank you thank you very much! - Elvisian

[@saultrecktom]

Couldn't stop looking at that hunka hunka bulge

[@courtvandermade4242]

Sometimes I will replay it.

[@jessop-]

Jordan as beetlejuice is worryingly hot

[@BeinIanPod]

Right!?

[@TrashParadiseKing]

@@BeinIanPodIan just hook up with Jordan already!

[@bossaudio12]

​@TrashParadiseKing the producer is the one who replies

[@thawhizard6224]

​@@bossaudio12pretty sure it's Ian at least sometimes lol or Ethan is lying and pretending to be Ian sometimes

I agree!

[@coreyrobinson2546]

Jordan as Beetlejuice = new kink unlocked

[@thegniffen4645]

inexplicable hotness.

[@KROMO50]

She looks fucking hot

[@Sprite_525]

Ian’s beautifully self-aware summary of his attitude at 1:22:21 should’ve gotten way more credit: “I’m like an ‘aggressive optimist,’ I guess… From my past experiences and what has happened to me in my life, I’ve had no choice as a defense-mechanism to survive, but to be aggressively optimist about things, as a way for me to survive and traverse the world that I was born into. So , that is my unraveling of ‘why am I so angrily optimistic about things?’ “ Well-said 👍 it also happens match perfectly with Mullen & Shane’s summaries too.

[@coomr419]

Yeah he was definitely optimistic for mouthwash

[@MsGhost87]

1:30:12 "People need to hear how wrong you are!" 😂 "It wasn't my choice." 🤣 I love Ian, he's such a silly guy & it's why I love him 😁

[@gotsouced4943]

You guys have probably the best opening song for a podcast

[@whatever1510]

I felt like i relapsed listening to you guys coke ramble about free will and sub consciousness

[@programmingaccount9563]

glad im not the only one. i just typed some long rambling comment and thought i was just having some serious de ja vu. probably typed the same stupid shit on the last cast too

[@MrColaxion]

33:15 watch Ian spiral out of control ending in a random diabolical laugh Thank you Jordan for stressing Ian to this point, priceless

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

At Home With Sly Stallone is an absolute work of genius.

[@84632]

The free will conversation sounds like Jordan and Kyle find comfort in the idea that they arent responsible for their thoughts and decisions. We are all a sum of our experiences, but i think its possible for people to recognize the unconscious processes and use your free will to shape those subconscious impulses.

[@BeinIanPod]

Thank you!!!!! One hand feeds the other and both can be true in a certain sense!

[@Grizzly_Biscuit]

It's really way more simple than what the conversation turned into: your subconscious is way way way quicker than your conscious mind. You also are not aware of most of the things your subconscious deduces as the next course of action. It absolutely feels like you're making your own decisions in the moment, but no matter what, your subconscious already did choose, way before your conscious mind arrived at the decision. @@BeinIanPod

[@nikkosantiago8992]

Ahhh shutt upp

[@nikkosantiago8992]

😘

[@Possiblechange]

The whole calmness doesn’t make sense either, because Ian is never calm..lol Plus when it’s two against one in a discussion, usually the person being told to calm down because you’re wrong by two other people they will always come off as upset/defensive

[@alexrush4140]

Over the past year or two, Ian has slowly become one of my favorite comedians. Can't wait for him to drop a special

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

12:54 Jordan's impression of Sam Morrill is actually pretty good.

[@surfs2much976]

Ian and Jordan are so real their the only people that truly make me not feel bad for who I am and am overwhelmed

[@jamieodv]

"Can i be honest, im not used to people listening to me for this long" had me spit out my watermelon. And i wasnt even eating one.

[@Rnue]

Like just a whole watermelon.

[@jamieodv]

@Rnue there was no watermelon, that's the thing.

[@DR.B13666]

This "free will" conversation has me dying over Ian's reaction 😂

[@6969groovy]

Lisa Marie was zero years old when she met Elvis. I think ur talking about Pricsilla.

[@kahwigulum]

Kyle putting on a serious discussion about free will, or the lack thereof, while a skeleton glares at me in full frame is both absurd and surreal.

[@jennocyde138]

I'm watching it rn and looked up at the tv after I read your comment and, as tho perfectly timed, it was glaring right at me 🤣🤣🤣 Loved it

[@masta182]

"sorry that I'm trying to make em laugh at home" based Ian

[@MrChrisStingray]

😂😂😂 I love how Ian was stuck in his Elvis impersonation.

[@lorrainbow1227]

This podcast always makes me audibly laugh out loud 😹😹✨

[@GlassDanimals]

I love this episode. I keep coming back to it months later. Hope Dunnigan makes another appearance one day

[@ArkhamJacks]

With the free will conversation. Dude was just defining subconsciousness and ACTIVELY ignoring the concious.

[@Luna-fc6rr]

I watched Jack and Jill twice too, Ian. 😂😂

[@zeroa69]

I didnt have the free will to stop myself from replaying the last 10 seconds a dozen plus times

[@_m_m4]

This episode was hilarious and enlightening! I do feel like this was more of an episode of “agreein’ with Ian” 😂❤

[@helpis0ntheway]

This ep was awesome! Kyle is hilarious! And way to tell Luis... you can't claim an improv "game" as your own LOL Bein Ian (with Jordan) is the best!! 💛💛💛

[@Head-Hurty]

THese costumes are really good.. This should be the new Ian.

[@BeinIanPod]

It’s been me the whole time….

I can't believe how perfect Jordan looks in a costume

[@dpd0028]

This pod makes me hunka-hunka burst with laughter!

[@joshk.6246]

I just started the episode to listen to but I'm really liking the guest sharing the loveseat with Kyle. Very stoic, somehow funny.😂

[@petertschann-grimm1468]

The show should definitely be called Bein' Jordan (with Ian)

[@ric3p0]

Ive said it before but I'll say it again one of the best pod intros.... w/ Jordan!

[@NameName-wf7cb]

Jordan dressed as Beetlejuice looks like Noel Fielding in The IT Crowd

[@ajaxoan]

If your curious of other cultures mourning rituals i would recommend the book From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty!

[@TheBrood525]

The shot going between Kyle looking absolutely normal to Ian and Jordan in their costumes was hilarious all the way through lol

[@onwardinfortwurth]

Ian keep going the way you're going brother don't let them get into your head because they're telling you the wrong way

[@Tabithaaac]

Great Episode!! Loved it - need more eps like this!!!

[@ZiggaRats]

Great guest! I'm loving Kyle's NYC era

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Ian mkes a good point in the convo. Free Will and choice is absolutely a thing you be aware of and take control of.

[@ReallyBama]

That delay study Kyle keeps referencing is widely criticized by peers. Ian made so many good points. There's many studies that show quantum effects in the brain, and it's by no means exhaustive, we still may find others. And that's just quantum fields we think we understand from the known to be incomplete standard model. A "soul" quantum field could exist in another dimension, making those decisions by interacting with the structures in the brain transdimentionally.

Jordan dressed as Beetlejuice is now in the Top 5

Did you miss the half hour of douchy self help talk?

[@marthataylor9026]

This episode conjured a panic attack

[@NotAHippopotamus]

Ian insisting Jack and Jill is a good movie again is mind boggling

[@cornjobb]

why? it's his opinion.

[@haterade5137]

Watch it. It's pretty funny. Like white chicks.

[@MsGhost87]

I thought it was great! Meet the Zohan was up there for me, too. People like us, probably like the more "stupid" movies, because they are straight-up comedy. They don't have the same type of emotions like CLICK, Spanglish & Just Go With It give the viewer.

[@kudblast1]

Who's gonna break it to Ian? You can't return most Halloween decorations.

[@jackosnmh]

Not only that, but I bet they also don’t take returns on 10’ skeletons. This episode will ruin them for life. 😔

[@stalecisco666]

Y'all should smoke crack next episode.

[@thomasos6633]

Kyle's impersonation of Jordan is just a norm McDonald impression. Haha

[@STEALTHKAOS]

I love Kyle and I am digging Jordan in the Beetle make-up.

[@romankorseev3703]

I'm choosing to continue watching this..... I'm choosing to continue watching this..... Just kidding, when I see a podcast with Kyle there is no choice

[@funkk]

For real, one of my pet peeves is people interrupting other when they are making a point and Ian really grinded my gears this episode.Still love you Ian :)

[@AshleyB-s9r]

Kyle, please do a podcast! You are so naturally funny!!! I know you have your sketch show but a talk pod would be amazing

that this episode devolved into an intense discussion of "who said what to who and what it means" was anxiety-inducing.

That sandler impression is incredible

[@scotthallgv]

I love that in Kyles mind, Jordan sounds like Norm McDonald apparently haha! Im fuckin dyin here!

[@guitarnutbolinuli5788]

This is my favorite episode of the pod; great conversation.

[@SPRfresh]

This is one of the rare times that I'm going to take Ian's side. Any person who has invented something or created a piece of original art is a pretty simple example of free will. Chaotic nature versus lawful nature is on full display here. Kyle and Jordan read some fancy book on philosophy and succumbed to one man's hypothesis on an oversimplification of the human mind. Ian saw this hypothesis and raised a middle finger to it and pushed back. Is this not free will? It would be much easier for him to please the people around him and agree, but he chose to believe something else in that moment.

[@mattrichards9485]

Loved the convo and the costumes!

[@Jakebee024]

I honestly love the consciousness talk #teamJordan

[@itzdadam8463]

Kyles impression of Jordan is just Norm MacDonald

I heard Jay Leno 😂

[@shamsam4]

Ian's a little jelly. I get it. Edit upon completion of the ep: Ian rules.

[@Tess.Elated]

I agree with you so much Ian that it's shpooky. But it's not like I chose that out of free will or anything😂 hunka hunka oh yea

[@BeinIanPod]

😂😂😂 hell yeah mama - Elvis Fidance

[@Tess.Elated]

@@BeinIanPod 😍😍 you have made my lil life worth while and I will brag about the moment Elvis Fidance responded to me for the rest of my life ♥️ ahwoooo (This comment was not of my own free will)

[@robsrxx]

Ian gets so uncomfortable that he had to get serious at the end. Being Jordan with Ian rules.

[@Sun_Cat_Pop]

IT HAPPENED !!! After seeing Ian's clip doing warm up for Sam's special, each Saturday nite I've hoped was the WMBD with Ian as guest Cant believe this is the week Im late catching the episode AND getting the heads up for Ian AND Jordan with Mark & Sam. Now its all anticipation

[@eddieb270]

I love this kind of episode cos i did social studies and you do a big part on free will and determinism would love a being jordan with ian episode even tho idk how different itd be from normal pods cos you equally host

That was awesome! Brilliant combination of post-existential reductionism and trauma-fueled chaos. Loved everything about this...

[@Seerthedreamer]

Great episode, glad i got yalls patreon!

[@BeinIanPod]

Much appreciated!

[@jrs623]

Could you think of no free will as your mind using learned experiences to choose for you? I mean, yeah, your subconscious makes all the decisions based upon past/collected knowledge and the id, right? Also, the last minute was perfect.

[@scruggscorp]

Ian, I'm with you. They have some smarty pants complex here. Free will in the house!!!!!!!

[@theramplocal]

Love the costumes! You guys rule

[@alaskamom5291]

Ian, there is a video of a donkey laughing in response to a dog getting shocked by an electric fence. It's hilarious!

[@mandisilvernale980]

Omg the free will thing blew my mind and I completely agree with Jordan!! 😂 keep it up friends! 👏🏼

[@MitchelWallis-w3o]

Ian's Subconscious would have never told him to get sober, you beat things in your mind. Ians actually right here for once EDIT: OBJECTION, there is the fact you are an organism. But yada yada

[@BeinIanPod]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@drunkwizard]

The whole idea of the subconscious is that you are not aware of it. Thus, you wouldn't know what it would OR would not "tell" your mind/body to do. It could very well lead you in the direction of sobriety just like it lead you in the direction of addiction. If you view consciousness as an iceberg, the subconscious is that 90% that's hidden beneath the surface of the ocean. You just don't know what's down there influencing the other 10%.

[@MitchelWallis-w3o]

@@drunkwizard Not to make a religious argument but most conceptions of the universe are to do with a Christ conscience having thought before material existed, so the fact we can use our thinking to shape the world is our Godliness.

[@drunkwizard]

@@MitchelWallis-w3o no one is arguing that thoughts aren't powerful. What's being debated is the idea that we are in control of our thoughts and make our own decisions (free will) as opposed to being guided by our subconscious (not free will). The experiment that Kyle brought up is an example of how our brain creates the illusion of free will because thoughts pop into our head and we make a decision. In reality, the brain has already decided before we are conscious of it, thus giving credence to the idea that we are not actually making our own decisions, we just think we are.

[@JeromeHagard]

1:29:31 is the best clip of this whole thing, Ian says “it wasn’t my choice to scream, ima screamer.” Is such a mf funny response to all that freewill shit.😆

[@evandercaldwell9993]

Of course there is Free Will, Ian don't let yourself be jaded by those lunatics!!

[@drunkwizard]

How does believing your subconscious is guiding all your decisions make you jaded? 🤔 It's not like they came to the conclusion after being depressed. They came to it after looking into the science behind it and it brings them comfort, not despair.

[@winterc.2476]

​@@drunkwizardyou're wrong. And you're changing the premise. We have free will. We also have a subconscious. It's a dumb argument.

[@hanjuhbrightside5224]

The fucking Groomer joke floored me, holy shit Ian 🤣😭

[@datchicray]

Ian is %100 in the right. They just don’t respect his thoughts because he’s a happy silly dude and there’s this idea you have to be miserable to be intelligent.

[@ipaded962]

It has nothing to do with being “happy” or “miserable” - it’s a different way of viewing how the brain works.

[@Grizzly_Biscuit]

Ian just didn't understand the concept of the free will dilemma. I feel like if you really understood the concept yourself, you'd recognize that as well. All they're doing is accepting that their perceived conscious choices are pre-determined by their subconscious before they "choose" it. They're not miserable, they're just not afraid to consider the literal science behind it and change their understanding.

[@kelev48]

You had to write that

[@daditude69]

Ian couldn’t accept the possibility that he’s not making conscious choices because “choice” is so important to all the 12 step addict shit.

[@PanosSchmitAlmeira]

@@daditude69 Well tbh it gives more leeway for self-empathy for an addict and people who look at addicts. The issue is that the 12 step program is based on the Yankee values of "personal-responsibility," so you're right he and others like him have been indoctrinated by that ideology and also in general people feel more comfortable knowing their choices are their own.
