Hi everyone it's me Ben Blacker the other host and producer of Dead Pilot Society

I'm thrilled to talk with my pal Janet Varney host of the JV club right here on the

maximum fun network hi Janet hier, thank you so much for having me on. I love your

podcast. I love being a part of your podcast from time to time. And I'm so glad that you and

Andrew made it exist because it has amazing content that people would not be able to hear otherwise.

Oh, thank you.

And I am a big fan of the J.V. Club, which is why I am thrilled that you agreed to this feed swap, because I think

our listeners will be fans of the show too. Do you want to just give like a quick synopsis of what the podcast is?

Sure, sure. So I've been doing the JV club for nine years. Someone had to tell me that it was my nine year anniversary just this this month and I have been

talking to famous and not so famous people for the last nine years about their

awkward teenage years. Blacker you you've certainly been on it.

You were an early guest in a hot room upstairs in an old comic shop in Los Angeles.

And I have found it to be, I just have never gotten tired of it. It is such an era in people's lives that you know they've got some distance from it so I think they have a sense of humor about it but also are willing to maybe be more candid about

experiences they had then and I am super not into prying into people's

present day so it's it just proved to be in ways I didn't even imagine a wonderful way into getting to know someone and their vulnerabilities and their humanity

that sort of makes us all feel like, oh, okay, so we're all kind of lost and broken,

but it's hilarious, great, let's do this.

And it is, I mean, listen,

I think I've said this to you in the past,

and maybe it was like seven years ago or whenever we did our

episode but I'm such a interview snob that like it takes a really good

interviewer for me to get interested in a podcast and I think you are such a good really good
