Bullsey with Jesse Thorne is The graphic novel Youth Group starts very simply.

A teen who doesn't really go to church goes to church. She joins the youth group and she makes friends there, which is straightforward enough, but then she learns the twist.

It turns out, demons are real, they're inhabiting the souls of real people, and also this youth group

and other youth groups exercises those demons.

My guest Jordan Morris wrote the book with illustrator Bowen McGurdy.

Jordan is a comedy writer who's worked on At midnight Earth and

and many more. He created the Maximum Fun Podcast bubble and the graphic novel of the same name.

And he's one of my best pals.

He and I went to college together, and for the past, well, 15, coming up on 20 years. He's been the co-host of my comedy podcast, Jordan Jesse Go,

as well as an occasional guest host of this show. Youth Group is great, it is fun and funny, perfect for teens and

tweens as well as adults. So let's get into it with Jordan Morris.

Well, Jordan Morris, welcome to Bullsey, or at least welcome to Bullseye as a guest.

It's nice to see you.

Oh my God, it's great to be on bullseye as a guest.

We met about 25 years ago now and one of the first things that I remember is I was your RA on the performing arts hall at UC Santa Cruz and one of the first things

I remember is you either mentioning to me that you are going to or asking where you could go to

Bible study and it struck me because needless to say, doesn't come up that much on the performing arts hall at UC Santa Cruz.

Right. Let me see, some things you probably got asked. Where's the drum circle? where can I get my hackiesack

re-beamed these are probably questions. And like you know at the time I worked at a

church you know when I was home in the Bay Area I worked at a church at the time I worked at a church, you know, when I was home in the Bay Area, I worked at a church at the time.

So it wasn't as though the idea of going to church was foreign to me.

But the kind of Bible study that happens on campus was. Right. And that's why I remember it. I was like, huh, this guy's asking me about where Bible study is, huh?
