The 2nd ever J-O-N Jon is Jon Hamm. He joins favorite guest Jon Gabrus who was the 1st J-O-N Jon guest to make it technically 3 Jons Don’t Make a Right. Or do they? Are there rules for three Jons that are different from the Rightless regularity of Two Jons? Well, you wouldn’t know it from the way Tall Jon drives. Left after left after left after left he takes, with Top Gun Maverick, Mad Men, Confess, Fletch’s Jon Hamm in tow no less. His left-only driving flies in the face of what could be a really anarchic, chaotic episode, and ends up being a classic ep. Sometimes form is important to art. Had we colored outside the lines, no one would’ve blamed us, but by staying in line with one of the major ongoing themes of the podcast (left turns only) the podcast audience is held in the hosts hands. What works, works because it’s framed, essentially by the audiences expectations of the podcast format, i.e. 2 Jons turning left in the Fartvan. Barring the fact that a third Jon (Mr. Hamm) bastardizes the integrity of the format, throwing the podcast into abstraction making it “too much”, it could’ve easily thrown the focus off of the movie star guest, and onto a randomness who’s entertainment can and will end in hopeless depravity and human being transformed into robo-pigs at the least, Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Rothko sucks as a painter, but he definitely kept it boring as hell and never tried to impress. The Two Jons audience similarly maps their own experience onto the dumb canvas he slathered with stupid paint. Here, Jon D and Tall Jon and Jon Hamm “land the damn plane” with such precision, we reel from the episodes existence even as we engage with its content. A clean experience. We go by Jon Hamms old apartments and grab coffee! A classic!
