I'm glad you guys bothered to do a lick of research into Jesse's side of the story. And for the record, there are more than double the amount of episodes of Jordan Jesse Go than there are Geekbox, and I'm pretty sure they have a lot more listeners than you. So all of your, "some podcasts just don't work" comments sound pretty ridiculous.

It bothers me that everyone just assumes the Penny Arcade guys are infallible and must be 100% correct in everything they've said about the situation.

That podcast host should have done the interview and not wait around for his Co-host. You set a schedule you stick to it unless there is an emergency. Also the interview in the podcast was horrible.

That's because it wasn't supposed to be an interview. JJGo is a sit-around-and-talk-and-make-jokes podcast. Obviously the PA guys didn't know what they were agreeing to when they agreed to it, but it baffles me that they acted so rudely about it afterwards. Why can't everyone just agree that it was a perfect storm of misunderstandings and not feel the need to bash on JJGo? Adam Carolla's fanbase can comprehend a "shoot the shit" type of podcast, but PA fans can't? It seems like PA fans are much smarter and would understand what type of podcast it was meant to be, but no one seems to be able to wrap their heads around the fact that they weren't interviewing them.

Oh well, it doesn't matter at all really. It just bothers me that Jesse is a super nice guy and seemed really depressed over the whole situation.

Super nice? Seems like Jesse lacks good hospitality skills, and the show is not funny.

Hundreds of other notable names have been to his house, from John Hodgman to Paul F. Tompkins and beyond, and no one complained about him not being hospitable. If that was you first episode, I'd recommend trying some others, like this one with Chris Hardwick and a Judge John Hodgman ruling: http://www.maximumfun.org/jordan-jesse-go/jordan-jesse-go-episode-129-young-mans-fancy-chris-hardwick
