130 - Was A Kennedy Ever Eaten By A Shark?

This week Craig’s TV watching habits opened the floodgates to a bigger question. There’s a new CNN docu-series about the tragic death of JFK Jr. called “American Prince” and while watching it, Craig somehow got the notion in his head that at some point in history and of all the tragic deaths surrounding The Kennedy family one of them happened to be eaten by a shark. The JFK Jr. story has been on Craig’s mind himself, not just because the show he’s watching but he too has a pilot’s license and is...

129 - Vampire Penguins

Craig is fresh off his recent promotional tour for his show SCRABBLE and he reflects on some interviews he did on podcasts. But things very quickly turn to the topic of vampires? Why? Because sometimes they need to be discussed. But that doesn't prevent some tweets and emails being answered. There's still plenty of time for both. Have a question for Craig?

127 - Chatty McChatterson Chats About Everything

This week Craig reveals the reason he’s been on the road so much for the last few months. That’s because news this week broke that his new CNN TV show, American on Purpose will be premiering shortly on the network. It’s based on the NY Times Bestselling book of the same name that Craig wrote a few years back when he first became a citizen of the United States. It’s the 250th anniversary of the United States and the goal of the show is to celebrate the United States. Being proud of our great coun...

126 - Koalas Are Not Real Bears

It’s an arctic theme this week. And totally by accident as Craig recalls a story about an Arctic expedition that ends with frozen body parts, wild animals, bears (both grizzly and polar), and some bity sharks.

It's A Long Way To The Top If You Want To Rock And Roll

It's the new year and we have the first episode of the Joy Podcast of the new year. And what better way to kick off 2026 with Craig checking in with you all?
