Head to Back

A bad experience in a parking lot leads to a comparison of grocery stores. Its clear that one local venue known for live music is ill-prepared to host stand-up comedy, and an all-white politically correct crowd doesn’t help matters. In an attempt to spare the feelings of someone personally close to him, Joe conceals his contempt for a TV show. Fans of Rob and Joe in far away Philadelphia come to see the murder mystery. Joe goes to Ellicott City to shoot a special video for the upcoming benefit show, but discovers that this is no easy task in a disaster area. Rob reads an email blast asking for a comic to perform at a private function, and the gig seems to fit a certain familiar someone. Joe gets backlash for his views expressed on The C4 show. Rob is on the defensive again for disregarding Joe on local television. A discussion about the late Gene Wilder turns into another barrage of crazy hypotheticals for Robby. Joe is recruited to help re-roof a house and again cannot be truthful about the predicament in which he finds himself.

#258 - Joe Who?

Rob starts the show exploring the disparity with Joe regarding favorite teams, which quickly devolves into full-fledged sports talk radio. Joe is pet sitting and that becomes part of the conversation when the animal interrupts the show. Memories from Joe’s childhood once again put Gramps on the defensive in chat. Rob and Joe both had very challenging stand-up comedy gigs recently. Rob appears on Great Day Washington, and forgets (chooses not to mention) someone very close to him both personally and professionally. When Joe stumbles upon a restaurant’s unfortunate karaoke night, Robby and his singing become the a topic again in a hypothetical of massive proportions. Even though his “most famous friend” invites him to be his opening act again, Rob is afraid to ask him for anything more. Rob goes over his time at one of the shows and Joe is furious hearing about the fight that ensues over it.

#254 - Robby Can't Sing

This week, Robby blows up again. This time it's over Joe, or maybe Rob, not asking him to sing. Gramps is almost scammed. Rob shares some listeners shout-outs. Hear a clip from Justin, Scott, & Speigel on 98 Rock as they discuss a negative comment about Sing For Your Life the new murder mystery from Die Laughing Productions. The audio issue continue, but what will be done. Some political crap makes its way into the discussion. How many Corbins do you know? Mac Bergson is one of the biggest fans, but maybe not the best promoter.
