#121: Never Too Late to Educate - Shapel Lacey
Comedian Shapel Lacey talks with Joe about all that has happened following the murder of George Floyd including the need for all of us to educate ourselves, the struggles Shapel as since overcome thanks to being told he "wasn't black" because of his love of punk rock and skateboarding culture and how white people shouldn't be afraid to ask "dumb questions" because it starts an important and much needed dialogue.

BLACK VEIL BRIDES drummer Christian Coma talks with Joe about dating unstable people, getting food poisoning (and shitting his pants in epic Dumb and Dumber fashion) an hour before a date and the many struggles and sacrifices he endured that keep him humble even when performing in front of 90,000 people.

"Craigslist Meltdown" - Alex Oliver (re-release)
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.

#119: "D.U.FLY and Why" - Lila Hart
Comedian Lil Hart didn't get a DUI, she got a DU FLY. She talks with Joe about getting arrested on a flight pre-takeoff for being drunk and the aftermath that followed. She also talks about growing up with spina bifida, a disease that stunted her growth and could have left her in a wheelchair. Thankfully she's healthy, happy and hiking these days but it wasn't easy.

Great stories!
Great guests with great stories!
It gets me through the day
Sometimes life can be an ongoing saga of embarrassment and awkward social interactions. Listening to this podcast reminds me that I’m not alone in those moments. It’s comforting to know that there are others who walk around all day with their foot permanently in their mouth making terrible decisions with hilarious consequences. Everyone out there needs to listen to this podcast because whether or not you’d like to admit it, we all have bad times and some of them even make good stories. Thanks for the laughs Joe!
