Hey y'all! — Joe here. In this episode Lonnie Eagleton (Bassist for Black Veil Brides) talks about two ridiculous encounters with strangers -- one a roommate he hardly knew and the other, a hitchhiker he was too nice to ignore...while driving through a blizzard...on the way to his grandfather's funeral. You'll find out why he slept with his rental car keys clutched in his hand at a dingy motel, how he went from coffee shop gigs with no audience to playing in front of tens of 1000's of roaring fans, and the lovely greenery in his apartment.

Hey y'all! — Joe here. Today comedian Lee Gordon and I talk about expectations vs reality. Lee's high expectations led him to (trying) to join a frat, taking a gig working as Spider-Man at kids birthday parties, and thinking he could pull off three dates on Valentine's Day...none of the events went as Lee had hoped.

Hey y'all! It's Joe — this week on the show, guest Brooklyn Jones found herself and her naked, half asleep mother locked out of their apartment, at 2am in New York City. The shananigans that follow are truly a hoot.

Brooklyn also talks about living with her mom, weird ghost sightings, and the sitting next to Busta Rhymes for two hours.

Hey y’all! It’s Joe — this episode is a funny, honest conversation with comedian “C-Bazz” Fort about the night he got pulled into a wild VIP party with newly paid NFL players, blacked out, and woke up at a Denny’s to 80 missed called from his (now ex) wife and newborn baby.

C-Bazz looks back on the absurdity of that night, how humbling it was, and how it became one of those moments that forced him to grow up a little. We also talk about making mistakes, learning from them, and why he doesn’t judge people for screwing up — because pretty much everybody has a story they’d rather not relive.

LINK IN BIO. Hey y’all! Joe here. — for my second episode back after a five year hiatus, I've got a funny, dare I say heartfelt conversation with 2x guest, comedian Lin Sun Compani about marriage, independence, self-sabotage, and getting arrested with her husband on date night.

We talk about eloping in Vegas, learning to share your life with someone, spending the night in jail, and why couples who get arrested together stay together.

Be sure to check out “Next Up, Lin Sun,” directed by Jane Alcala, which tells the story of Lin Sun, born in a refugee camp and descended from an entertainment dynasty erased by genocide; she reclaims her family’s legacy one joke at a time. Follow @NextUpLinSun to find the next screening!

Hey y'all! Joe here. — I'm back after five years and this episode is a messy, funny look at being totally in over your head. I chat with comedian/former teacher Aaron Monte about kindergarten “Hennessy” dances, middle-school chaos, getting carted off in an ambulance, and even getting fired from what felt like a dream job.

Stay away, Craigslist! That's what Alex Oliver learned after unknowingly scamming college girls out of salon memberships and selling baseball cards to a sketchy stranger four hours away, all so he could pay a month's rent. Thankfully he didn't die, but he did have his one and only breakdown in the process. Originally aired May 16, 2018.
