JACK: Hey, it’s Jack, host of the show. We’re about to hear a story from a friend of mine, Jordan. Jordan is one of those guys that has a million stories. Like, his life is just filled with crazy adventures; like this one time he was traveling and got kidnapped, but then escaped. Then on another trip he was kidnapped again and escaped again. He’s also been in North Korea I think a few times. But today, he’s going to tell us a story about a time when he was a teenager and got a visit from the FBI.
