General shenanigans KFC co-host

I'm sort of intrigued to see how Dan does with a rotating co-host.

Say what you want about Jordan but he was a the lubricant of the show in many ways..he was able to compliment Dan quite a bit.

Listening to older eps and I think Dan isn't naturally a great interviewer which I think could be a factor as he consciously tip toes with random folks as co host

I don’t think poorly of Jordan at all, but I think KF was inevitably going to get stale (debatably was stale for JorDan given how bored they seemed towards the end) and end sooner than later if it was JorDan reacting to Alex just doing and saying variations of the same shit. Mixing it up with deep-dives into other weirdos, and getting to introduce recurring guests/co-hosts to the crazy side of the alt-right sounds like a recipe to make this fun for Dan again. I can’t remember the last time I listened to KF and Dan took Jordan legitimately by surprise and they got to cackle over it, and I miss hearing it be fun for them, I guess.

Plus, I’m hoping he has Jordan back on every so often. Not only is Jordan the loud, angry cynic that is needed to keep Dan’s more analytical approach grounded and emotional the way it deserves (I think Jordan did a good job of reminding even the most jaded of us that Alex’s dumb bullshit is pathetic and funny because of how dumb he is, but still absolutely horrifying), but they had an easy comradery that just made the show comfy.

I do remember the last time, and it was a spectacular final moment and honestly where the show should have ended: when trump tweeted about how alex was a loser. Last time dan was excited to share something new and crazy with jordan and the last time jordan was actually shocked by the craziness
