The Darkest Hour Podcast

Minnesota Comedian and perennial crowd work album releaser Corey Adam is here to discuss the release of No Joke 2 on Standup Records. As with any release, there’s bound to be some H8, and Corey and Josh dive right into trash talking haters, discussing the psychology of criticism and even get specific about some haters whose plans were foiled at the hands of the House of Comedy in Minnesota.

Josh Florhaug aka Josh Baskets is back and we spend this episode talking stand-up comedy and being fat guys. Josh D has problem’s shitting, which apparently doesn’t even compare to Josh F’s butt problems. Bratwurst is the gateway to gay stuff, and marinara with mozzarella can make anything into food.

Josh takes this week’s episode as an opportunity to say thanks for all of the help received over the past week. The GoFundMe has been met with a great response, but your words have meant even more. This episode is here to say thank you, and to talk about life learnings and the way forward! Keep Moving Forward!

Former Comedian, Entrepreneur, and Podcaster Delanie Fischer joins in the studio to discuss her recent special “Love at First Cousin.” We talk about comedy, and why it’s a great time to quit the business. Is having sex with your cousin really a thing? We discuss. We talk about how incest is more common than you think, and the ultimate sustainable food is definitely human baby. Bon Appetit!

Raab Himself is back in studio, and we kick this one off talking about our favorite comedic influences - which hold closer spots in our hearts than you may think. We revel in the traumatic realism that is Philadelphia, and the dangers of Los Angeles’ toxic positivity. The world is full of schemers and we talk about our recent favorites in Billy MacFarland and Elizabeth Holmes. Despite being fat, Josh is terrified by edibles. We close our episode talking about our short film “Farewell,” serendipity, and how Juliette Lewis is why R Kelly happened.

Get your cocoa and settle in for this one, as it’s a long ride. Josh opens up about the past year, and just what’s been happening with the constant podcast breaks and radio silence. Gavin McInnes is back, and we talk about all things litigious in the modern world, and taking down corrupt actors in society posing as progressive minded do-gooders. As a couple of “Legal Lenny Bruce’s,” we talk about the current trend of diversity and inclusion in film, and how it’s actually no well intentioned. If you’d like to contribute to our legal fights, visit www.defendgavin.com, or email [email protected] to find out how you can help!

Josh sits down with Niki Connor, former LFL player, lifetime athlete, and now personal holistic chef to discuss fad diets, workouts, and the key to overall health. We take some time to shit on the current trends in health and wellness before diving into what actually works and how to decide what’s right for you. Bon Appetit!

Token black friend of the show Rob Smallwood (@Robby_Smalls) is back in chair, and we’re here to talk all things Wakanda. Rob actually hated Black Panther, and we dive into all things Marvel, Avengers, and black excellence. Patreon Bonus: Josh spills the tea on having an agent/manager, and the history of Ginormous Food.

After a long hiatus, we at the #IoJD podcast are happy to announce the official return of Ryan S. Ryan (@ArnyHeywood) is one of Josh’s oldest friends in comedy, and one of the original members of Verbally Vicious. Ryan has decided to jump back into comedy, and his timing couldn’t be better since everyone now hates comedy. We talk about Louis CK, and other recent battles in the ongoing war on comedy. We share our shock over how many comedians are now on the wrong side of history, and try to decide how to fix it.

Comedian and common sense advocate Irina Skaya is here, and we talk all things being a conservative comedian in today’s industry. Irina shares her experience in swimming upstream against all things that seem to be modern comedy, especially being an immigrant from an actually difficult place to live. We talk about the patriarchal double standard when it comes to sex work and the adult industry, and all kinds of pain-in-the-ass double standards. The world wants to destroy Kevin Hart, and we aren’t having it. We’re both ready to join Steve Harvey’s church, as long as Pete Davidson comes with us.
