Taking one joke at a time, the rotating set of hosts and guests--usually headed by Josh and Eric--break out and break down famous and not-so-famous jokes.
The guys are back at it! This time, in honor of Suicide Awareness Month, they do a crossover episode of Jokes and Sunshine and Brain where they talk about suicide and issues related to mental health via the gateway of the brilliant Maria Bamford.

Episode 7 - Bro Comics

Episode 6 - Police Brutality
Comedians as prophets rises to the surface in the time of worldwide protests against police brutality, particularly against Black people in America and elsewhere.

Episode 5 - Nobody Gets on the Trains
Josh and Eric reflect on and discuss the great Jackie Kashian's terrified and inspiring take on the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Ms. Kashian's long and anxious tapestry of political-moral collapse in America serves as a powerful example of how comedians are not to be discounted in their delivery of the unvarnished truth and, often, harbingers of worry if not doom.
But not before the Jokes! crew makes a butt joke or two.
