AI can go fuck itself! Just listen to the gd podcast!!
My 2nd cuz Dan!! My last name starts with W, and I'm from Norwood. Amazing how much we change as we grow older! I still remember the day 20 some yrs ago when my Godmother told me he was doing comedy. Then one day the 'gays start talking about being friends with Boulger!! Pretty cool following his career from afar. My brush with fame!! Lol. Keep plugging Dan, you're one funny dude.
Type 1 diabetes definitely has a genetic component. I have a 51% chance of developing it between the ages of 30-80. My mother has a 68% . I have an increased risk due to my familys history with diabetes.
Well done! I just met a new comedian.
Joe’s so sweet for having his younger brother on the pod
Dan Boulger’s jokes are some of my favorite, ‘excited to see him on the pod!
Beautiful two some.
Doing lines......smoking weed.........heart exploding in a few years. Maybe it's the lifestyle of your average comics. Love you pieces of late lunch.😊 Thanks for the thoughts.
That Puss in Boots story and Joe's reaction had me dying in my car.
So good! Joe List for the win. Dan is a good guest
Papa Joe singlehandedly saving mental health in 2023. Thank you Joe, and wish you and the family a healthy 2024.
Loved Holy Grail since I was a kid!
Some favourite lines,
"A Duck"
"Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed."
"A path, a path"
"GET ON WITH IT!"
You both for sure have a touch of the ‘Tism ha ha 😂 love it
my favourite podcast. I love it when it's guests I haven't heard of, I don't know why people wouldn't enjoy that from this kind of podcast.
Dan is fun to watch and fun to work with. He’s a fantastic comic. I highly recommend his “Don’t Tell Comedy” set available on TH-cam.
Your description of the Diploma was magnificent. Thought I was watching it on TV
listened to Tuesdays since 2020. just started MMJ last week -- new favorite pod, Going back & listening to all of them now
i didnt know ur kid was born that old and he can speak already wow amazing
Most likable award.
Yeah, these guys are brothers. If Joe had the hat on too.
Dan aka Joe List Sr.
With every minute that passes, I am less and less convinced these two people actually know each other. And I'm beginning to suspect they have never met.
Fuggedabuddies! What a throwback; good times. HJB and Glaser were hilarious.
Boulger! I feel like he opened for Joe a million times in the Boston area?
This is like a Bob Sacamano reveal
Saw bulger randomly doing a set at the comedy studio in Cambridge. Hilarious hilarious man.
Joe seems way less stressed out around this guy than anyone else.
Happy holidays, Joe! I think Katie Nolan would be a great guest on MMJ
A late Christmas miracle!
One of those videos that slips through the notifications!
Type 1 diabetes risk is highly genetic
Also Type 2 but to a lesser degree
You’re born with one and develop the other through bad dieting right?
@@RedBernie usually but it can develop in adults, particularly with auto immune disorders
@@AA-xb2zm aHa, thank you 🤝
You two are the best!
Dan Boulger Rules!
You gotta get me on this podcast one day. I'm full of red flags.
I love you, Joe.
you two should start a podcast
ADHD fyis…
Hoarding behavior & clutter are often associated with ADHD insofar as it’s difficult to stay organized & you’re prone to being a loser (one who loses things) so you hold onto stuff & you feel the need to have everything in your visual field rather than stored/tucked away. When your executive functions fail, you are heavily reliant upon cues in the visual environment. Hence my fridge has 467 post-it notes.
I’m 42 so this requires a lot of bullshitting to pass for normal. Hence feeling like a jerk for being less than 100% honest is a huge psychological issue for ADHDers.
If Joe named his son after someone, it’s this guy.
Hi from Brazil, Joe!
Has any done a superman cosmic horror? Like Mister Mxyzptlk is just fuckin with superman the whole and superman is unable to do anything. This godlike figured being used like a child's toy to an outer dimensional being.
I only comment on Joe List videos.
Not really but….. algorithm
Level 1- heath cordes level 2 Dan level 3 Joe
I think there are a few levels between Heath and Dan.
Type 1 is genetic, type 2 is lifestyle
Mark I could understand not saying hello he’s a little what’s the word…supercilious. How could Dan not say hello!
Hey Joe, your first view for this video from the beautiful Maldives!
75% of this ep is Joe saying I wonder if maybe you have autism. Great one
He is the 'good looking' version of Joe.
yeah joe go joe
Type 1 is basically always because of genetics. 😂
I get annoyed by noises no one else cares about too!
I know you’ve got a kid now Joe but come on, ads every 5mins is excessive!
I am a reactor to a podcast
awkward
Man I couldn't think of a worse podcast
Check out Brendan schaubs work fucko
You probably don’t do much thinking.
