Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Mean, mean stride Today's Tom Sawyer Mean, mean pride Yes. Hey there. If you're hearing that song, it means it's the Conan and Jordan show.
That's correct. You know, as I was listening to that song, something occurred to me.
Let's give them a shout out.
Chapter 2: Why does Jordan collect CDs?
By Rush. I believe, listening to it, that that's the 2015 Sean McGee remaster. He works at Abbey Road Studios. He did the Beatles 2009 CD set. Anyway, it's got good dynamic range, but I just thought of a new show. You know, I have a hobby that you may not be aware of. I collect various CD pressings from all over the world.
I didn't. know that.
Yeah. So modern music is generally standardized and whatever country you live in, you're getting the same CD quality. But back in the 80s and 90s, CDs in different countries had different sounds. They were mastered by different people. And I always pick my favorite. I've spent many thousands of dollars on this hobby. I have my favorite versions of moving pictures.
In fact, the atomic CD from Mercury with the matrix number ending from three to five is my favorite. Anyway, so here's my idea.
I just said, one thing.

Chapter 3: What is the debate about music formats?
I don't believe in judging other people's passions, but that's a stupid hobby. Because no one listens to CDs anymore. It's an outmoded... Well, you like music. And if I tell you I can give you the best Beatles pressing, whatever you're listening to Rubber Soul on, I can give you a better version of Rubber Soul. I would take the 1965 Stereo 2 cut vinyl pressing by a certain vinyl ripper that I know.
But my whole point is... I think you are the ripper.
My point is, Jordan, before you get into your idea, I just want to slow you down because you came out of the gate hot. Yes, well, I was inspired. You were like a bucking bronco. We play that song because that's one of... Your favorite band is Rush. Yes. And you got to know them. Because of the fame that you accrued on my show, you got to know Rush. Yeah.
And they actually let you come out at one of their concerts on stage with them, which I imagine was... A couple. Yeah, okay. Well, one time you were invited, and the other time you sort of rushed the stage. But my point, and I'm getting to my point, is that... You heard that's why we play the Rush song up top is because you're a fanatic for it. But then you launch in this whole thing about CDs.
Everyone, every audiophile agrees that CD is not the way to listen to music.
OK, well, this is a cliche and a theory by those that are uneducated. Sometimes a vinyl pressing.
You're calling Neil Young uneducated. Jack White uneducated.
I know these are master musicians. Neil Young appreciates the value of dynamic range. It was featured heavily in his Pono music service. Nevertheless, sometimes the format itself is mostly irrelevant. OK, what is relevant is the particular mastering. So sometimes the CD will have the better mastering. Sometimes the vinyl will have the better mastering. I have so much to say on this.
I know you do. I'm here to help you. First of all, you understand that the point of doing a show on the radio like this is to get people to listen. Yeah. Okay. Get them hooked. Yeah. You are driving them out right now.
