JJS#121 - 2 Porta 2 Potty

This is a direct sequel to episode 117, "Porta-Potty: A True Crime Story." In that episode, Josh and Logan accidentally created a movie about a serial killer with a messed up digestive system and asked the listeners for sequel ideas to that movie. As promised, they read the emails for proposed sequels and it's a doozy. Not only are the ideas great, but they draw from various corners of the Josh Johnson Universe and the show begins to collapse on itself in spectacular fashion. If you've never to ...

JJS#120 - The Fruitcake Conspiracy

It's the annual Thanksgiving episode in which Josh and Logan talk about all the buckwild stuff people get up to on this holiday of overeating and familial feuds. This year's episode is all about the lengths people go to to deceive family members. One family is planning a whole covert mission to trick an aunt, and two women engage in a rivalry that ends in family secrets being revealed. Whatever tension you may have with your family this holiday season, just know it could definitely be worse! Nee...

JJS#119 - Joshy Gets Done Dirty

Josh is having a day. First, he has launched an investigation into the off-putting way his dinner was delivered. Then, he's uncovering an embarrassing, sports-related story from his childhood. Poor guy. Josh and Logan also talk about the embarrassing side of conspiracy theorists, phone minutes, and the dreams crushed by Air Bud. In the mailbag segment, Logan reads the conclusion to the foot fetishist date saga... Join Josh and Logan for another virtual live show on Sunday, November 27th at 6:00p...

JJS#118 - 50 Shades of Yellow

You all know that it doesn't take much for Josh to find himself in a bizarre situation. The slightest errands can lead to baffling misadventures or the smallest life change can rock Josh's life to its core. Well, Josh has started drinking more water. That's it. He's just getting more hydrated. He's only been doing it for a few days, but has already witnessed a strange situation while waiting in line for the bathroom (which he's doing way more often now), and finds himself becoming more judgmenta...

JJS#117 - Porta-Potty: A True Crime Story

Honestly, I'm not even sure how to describe this one. What starts as a conversation about someone trying to carry too many drinks devolves into Josh and Logan writing a movie about a serial killer with messed up bowels. It's a twisty trail. Move accordingly. Josh & Logan will be performing in Minneapolis, MN at Acme Comedy Co. November 17th-19th!

JJS#116 - Joshy on Ice

Josh started going to cryotherapy for an injury and has a lot to say about it. Not so much about the procedure, but plenty to say about the people in the waiting room and the needles they have. Logan is also pretty sure this will lead to Josh being a super villain. They also talk about a man that punched a train, the trends and "challenges" over the years, and a young man that became a popcorn chicken legend. How will you spend your internet points? Josh & Logan will be performing stand up a...

JJS#115 - Punching Produce

Is it the job of grocery store security guards to get into full-on fights in the store, or is it better to just stay out of the way and let the crazy run its course? According to Josh's time working in grocery stores, the answer is somehow neither and both! Either way, sometimes the oranges have it coming! Josh also reveals what makes him actually avoid talking to people and the mailbag brings an update to the foot fetishist date saga. Josh & Logan will be performing stand up at the Funny Bo...

JJS#114 - Pot Pie Trauma

The world of pie is filled with drama. Sometimes people need to fight off rivals to sell their pies at carnivals and some couples are tested by pot pies. It's a high stakes food group and Josh and Logan are uncovering the tension surrounding pies. But first, Josh ponders the only way to reset things after falling into a bush, Logan is tired from watching a baby, and Josh recounts the first time he was trusted using the oven. They also ask, "what would happen if this just became a Game of Thrones...

JJS#113 - Living Raw

All the crazy experiences are starting to take a toll on Josh. He's seen too much chaos while out walking in New York, including bike crashes and tables exploding, and he's just burnt out. But Logan wants to get to the bottom of why Josh is such a magnet for insanity. They also open the mailbag and find a listing for a house that is a cartoon nightmare ( https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2510-Coleman-Way-Sacramento-CA-95818/25798591_zpid/? ) Catch Josh in Sacramento, CA, October 6-8.

JJS#112 - Joshy Meets Medical Malpractice

Lately, Josh has gone to the doctor pretty often, which has reminded him of some strange visits he's had in the past. Come on, this is Josh Johnson we're talking about. Of course he's gonna have some utterly odd trips to the doctor's office. He recalls a trip to a particularly rude office, talks about an accident prone surgeon, and plans his own funeral. Meanwhile, Logan gets to the bottom of what separates a trench coat from a duster. Josh & Logan will be performing stand up in Sacramento, ...

JJS#111 - Snow Cone Soliloquy

What starts as Josh talking about people getting swift comeuppance turns into him singing the praises the snow cones. Turns out, Josh really loves snow cones and this is news to Logan. Josh also talks about the time he was bullied by a small child, the snow cone place that did him dirty a few times, and the mailbag brings an update of buckwild proportions!

This week's episode is all about art and chaos as Josh and Logan explore the world of botched art restoration, strange museum security guards, and how one can impale themselves on a colored pencil.

Josh recently had a show in upstate New York and had a lot of time to kill beforehand. So he decided to hang out at the local mall and, boy, did he get into some dorky, Joshy hijinks! There's go karts! (Where he maybe saw a kid die.) An arcade! (Where he definitely made people sad.) And VR! (That made him sick.) Enjoy Josh's retelling of his perfect day at the mall!

JJS#107 - Seal Finger

When animals attack... Josh and Logan find it kinda funny. This week, JLo talk about people that climb into animal enclosures at zoos and it goes exactly the way you expect it to. (Don't worry, there's no gore. Just judgement.) Josh talks about the man from his hometown that considered himself a "bobcat whisperer", Logan talks about the strange relationship he has with his girlfriend's dog, and Josh complains about the pigeon that rides the train with him.

JJS#106 - Gym Stepdad

Josh has some grievances about people at the gym. They're all trying to get too big and he finds that to be ridiculous. But not because he's little! That's definitely not the reason. Anyway, Josh tells stories about a guy at a gym that was continually disappointed in him and some lifting buddies who made some strange noises. Logan doesn't really go to the gym so he just tells a story about his dog. Then, Josh recalls an epic battle he had with a bathroom spider. For bonus podcasts, videos, and b...

Josh and Logan recorded this episode on a 98-degree day in a room without air conditioning, and things start to get a little weird. There's garbled sentences, general exhaustion, and Logan chokes on water. They're doing great. Josh also talks about the time an ice cream truck broke down in front of his house, Logan talks about the football practice that almost killed a teammate, and they discuss a bad restaurant review (eventually). They also give some advice on flirting in the mailbag segment d...

Josh and Logan are together in New York and sitting way too close to each other. Josh tells Logan his theory about NY getting more tense and then tells a few subway stories that don't really prove his point, but are still quite strange. They also talk about a recent Uber ride they shared that, in retrospect, was kind of dangerous, Logan surprisingly does a lot of chatting on an airplane, and they get asked for some relationship and family advice in the mailbag.

JJS#101 - The Louisiana Avengers

It was recently the Fourth of July so Josh is taking a look back at Independence Days past and revealing a lot of strange things about his hometown and the remarkable people that inhabit it. There's a man whose whole job is a stick, people who think it's a good idea to fry turkeys for the Fourth, and some city slickers that can't handle their barbecue. Granted, it's not regular barbecue... If you're in the New York area, join Josh & Logan for a live podcast recording at Union Hall on July 27...

Josh recently talked to a friend and learned of a date that she went on with an "artist" and, to put it bluntly, what happens is maybe the greatest thing Logan has ever heard.
