The Jason & Noel Comedy Hour

Jason and Noel wax philosophically about John Keats and Bill Burr. It's Act-Out April, so start miming. Hee haw!

Noel reads a series of positive, life-affirming tips to help improve one's life, and Jason does his best to not be a sad-sack. Find out if meditation is good for you!

Jason bores Noel with a remembrance of his comedy career. Noel recaps the letter she wrote to the Hershey company. The two continue their discussion on Christmas. 

Jason recaps his glories from No Quit November, and then the two dive into Christmas. After a lengthy discussion of Christmas movies, it becomes apparent that this topic will have to have multiple episodes. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? You probably won't like the answer. 

Jason and Noel introduce the subject of the comedic persona, and attempt to define it. This is the first part of a looooooong discussion about comedy. Come find out what a naif is!

Jason and Noel discuss confessional comedy, context in comedy, and other comedy geek stuff. They use a few lines from an interview with the late, great Norm MacDonald as a launching off point. Oh, and it's fall, so go to your local library and rent Saw.

Jason and Noel recap their vacation to Maryland and ask all the important questions: What are your goals while eating at a buffet on vacation? Which spouse gets bragging rights for beating the other at putt-putt? And what makes a good ghost tour?

Noel returns from another Dollar Tree trip to find that Jason has been attacked by flies. Then they discuss improv comedy.

Jason drinks All Sport and Noel theorizes how penguins could escape a zoo. They both talk way too much about the 90s. Noel analyzes Jason's candle joke and then they bring up the 90s again.

Noel reminisces about Hills department store, and Jason reads from a posthumous history book by humorist Will Cuppy. Numerous comedy topics are batted about: how humor has changed, wholesome vs. degenerate humor, and what is the value of a pun. 

Noel has invented a new term called "getting disappeared," which is basically the same as disappearing, but is more fun to say. Also, is decaf coffee good? All this and more in the shortest episode yet!

Noel could've been a good bowler. Jason has a dream about Keanu Reeves. They both like zoos, and they both miss Trashbox.

Jason and Noel discuss aging, Noel's dislike of bobbleheads, and Jason's family cheese. The two take turns reading from a book called "Japanese Death Poems," and Jason fails miserably in his attempt to summarize a recent book he read on nutrition.

Is Jason too old for his shaggy hair? Does Cool Hand Luke hold up? Are Goosebumps books still in print? Does Noel love the Dollar Tree? All these questions are answered in an episode as awesome as the Warren Harding presidency. 

Jason and Noel analyze reviews of Walmart pies and discuss who is the better sharer. Noel desires to have a job as a nickname giver, and wonders what she would do if she met Judge Judy. Also, a discussion of history books.

In this vintage 2019 episode, Noel explains her decision to accentuate the word "death" during her wedding vows and tell a story about being tricked into a date. Jason ponders getting a pipe, wonders if he's put away his childish ways, and forgets having attended The ABBA Experience. 

Noel makes fun of the way Jason pronounces the word "nightmare." Jason won't take the sticker off his new mug. Other subjects include saving money, gross out humor, and cheat weekends. We finish with an analysis of the Ben Franklin joke that Jason is working on. Recorded way back in February of 2019. 

Jason reads his favorite Jack Handey quotes and Noel goes into some deep comedy theory. Other subjects include cheese, getting older, and the last pop in the fridge. Originally recorded in 2019 and sealed in the vault.

Originally recorded in January, 2019, the inaugural episode of The Jason & Noel Comedy Hour covers comedy theory, childhood awards, Jack LaLanne, the Hawthorne effect, and Jason's horrible song parodies about keto.
