The Implications of Josh Denny

Raab Himself is finally back in the studio, and we catch up on all things since Chris has moved back to LA. We talk about Raab’s new podcast “The Bathroom Break,” and all of the great poo stories that have unfolded since it’s inception. Raab did his first ever storytelling set at the most recent Darkest Hour, and we recap. We talk about our experiences growing up with Rock & Roll, playing in bands, touring, and how the new generation sucks because they’re the first generation to grow up without metal. What do you think? Comment below!

Josh Florhaug is here, and we recap our weekend of watching UFC fights. We review Josh D’s concussion (boy having two Josh’s makes this difficult) and all of the residual problems related to concussions and CTE. We talk about comedy in Los Angeles, writing new bits, the problem with doing too many of the wrong shows, and how to get people to stop caring about politics. Also, we both poop during this episode.  

Political commentator, former info wars contributor,  and young person Ashton Whitty joins us via Skype to discuss all things Kavanaugh confirmation. We talk about the short term and long term problems with discounting and removing due process, and the leftist 3 hit combo of discredit, accusations of racism, and accusations of racism. Ashton explains the “trad” movement to Josh, because he’s old and out of touch. When did liberals start craving bigger government? If you want to know what the future looks like, just watch the Walking Dead. Josh solves the issue of corruption in politics, you don’t want to miss it. Ashton makes a plea to our audience.

Comedian and host of the Tin Foil Hat podcast Sam Tripoli is here. We dive into all things conspiracy that are currently trending online and in the industry. Sam talks about some of the stigmas of hosting a conspiracy theory podcast, and we talk about his scorecard in getting them right, and we talk about some hot new ones about Beyonce and the occult. Are public apologies jumping the shark? We talk about the correlation between the drug war & immigration problems, which devolves into a whole trope of connected subjects. This is a great one! 

Entrepreneur, Podcaster, Writer, and overall badass @LeahMcSweeney calls into the show today to discuss all things #MeToo and #MeThree. We kick off all this sex talk the only way Josh knows how; by talking about New York weather. We dive into the Asia Argento/Anthony Bourdain Scandals, and how they effect the #MeToo movement. Is Louis CK really THAT BAD? What is feminism really, and how do we actually empower women? 

Darkest Hour compatriot, comedian, podcaster, and friend Charles Disney is FINALLY back in the house! We talk bout all of our podcast crossovers between his show with Isaac Simpson: Not a Huge Fan, and the #IoJD world. We talk about the rebirth of the Darkest Hour at the Dojo of Comedy at Sycamore Tavern and the possible careers we have birthed. Josh conCOCKS a scheme to grow his Patreon.  We dive into the sexual spectrum, and why on earth anyone attracted to men could tolerate women, and how movies often get it wrong. We find common ground on everyone being willing to have sex with Ted Danson, and we challenge you to disagree!

“Futurist” Steve Faktor is here, and we dive into an interesting conversation about business; a nice departure from recent episodes. We discuss the businesses that Steve often consults for, and how the future of business includes social identity, and whether or not that’s a good thing. We pontificate whether or not the market will adjust to private company’s decisions to censor, and if there is any possible legal recourse for their recent censorship behavior.

Adam Yenser is here, and we kick things off talking about flat earthers, climate change and Candace Owens, who is IN FACT, a total boner factory. Inevitably, we discuss Josh’s latest article on Medium that takes apart the current state of the comedy industry. Adam shares what it’s like being a conservative in Hollywood. Josh shares that Adam participated in his shift to becoming “pro-life,” and we solve all of the possible objections for overturning Roe V. Wade.

Josh is joined this week by Gavin McInnes of CRTV’s “Get off My Lawn.” We start with hard hitting topics like pissing in front of and farting in front of your significant others. We pontificate the possibilities of a gay #metoo movement - spoiler alert: It’s not coming. We decide that if you believe the earth is flat, you’re not allowed to have opinions. We dive in to James Gunn and Dan Harmon, and whether or not liberal mouthpieces deserve to have their free speech defended by other artists. Does principal matter in the culture war, or are all bets off? When did comedians become hypocrites? What TRULY influences the decision to take offense? In this two hour episode, we dive into how the culture war is effecting comedy and art, and how to win it going forward. Can it even be won?

Josh sits down with Author and Owner of Vandal Press (@VandalPress), Isaac Simpson to discuss the wild west that is now freedom of choice. We start off addressing our friendship, and the hostility in which it is met with by one Charles Disney. Should you have to bake a cake for gay people? Should you be able to freely discriminate against whomever you like in your restaurant or business establishment? We pontificate what it would look like to remove ALL class protections and allow capitalism to decide who wins and loses. What does that look like? We talk about how the worst parts in American history are often the fault of the church, and we contemplate the nature of religion. Also, rednecks are now progressive. Get on board.

Comedienne and Internet Provocateur Nicole Arbour (@NicoleArbour) is here! We talk about Nicole’s career and penchant for the offensive. We talk about current trends in comedy and entertainment, and the marketplace for virtue signaling. Is cultural appropriation a thing? We don’t really think so. We DO have a great idea for some new fashion wear. Would you join our team? Let us know in the comments!

Roast Battle Beast Joe Dosch is here, and we’re talking all things comedy and flyover state. We share our stories of growing up in the midwest, for better or worse. Joe is giving Josh a hard time for recording 2 podcasts in one day. We talk E-Sports, being a gay comic in Trump country, and how our country isn’t as bad as people say it is. We have an in depth conversation about realness vs. fairness in our industry, and the prioritization of formality over honesty. 

Stand Up Comedian and host of the Mentally Ch(ill) podcast Kristen Carney (@KrstenCarney) is here and we’re talking about all things fraudulent about our industry. We share our favorite pastime of shitting on terrible plastic surgery with each other and our listeners. We talk about the importance of likeability and being genuine and authentic, vs. popular. We’re all just trying to feel better, but is any of it working?

Josh sits down 1 on 1 with the listeners to review the past week in his career, and the aftermath of the Tweet heard ‘round the world. If you want more #IoJD podcast, find Josh on Patreon and support! We'll be back with normal, ALL NEW episodes starting next week!

Josh sits down with long time comedy-friend-comedian Corey Adam (@coreyadamcomedy) and we discuss Corey’s recent #1 comedy album on iTunes entitled “Jokes.” We discuss our different approaches to comedy and how neither of us are successful enough to be right about anything. Also, Louie Anderson’s nephew also sits on my floor during this episode.
