Episode Overview

Comedy veterans Luis J. Gomez and Big Jay Oakerson join Joe for a freewheeling three-hour session that hits everything from comedy scene gossip to porn habits, ghosts, politics, and interstellar objects. The episode opens with the guys debating a fellow comedian who was the most influential performer for about a year — and whether sobriety would destroy what makes him funny. Lighter detours include porn loyalty (always going back to favorites), the castration of opera singers to preserve their voice, and the clear aesthetic superiority of going bald. A political thread covers the Cuomo ouster and the New York Democrat who won the primary to replace him. The gang debates first impressions and initial attraction before landing on a fascinating tangent about the third known interstellar object passing through the solar system and what makes it unusual. The episode closes with plugs for Big Jay's double album and upcoming tour, and Luis's special "You're Making This Worse" on YouTube.
