Among a certain circle Daddy Joe is best known for his plaintive cry whenever he's been duped by yet another obvious hoax which he swallowed uncritically, his lament at the Internet's feckless betrayal of his gibbering faith - "WHY DOES IT LIE?"

I'm fortunate in that I've never encountered the gent except embedded in somebody else's savage mockery of his witterings. Thus I have saved myself approx 17,382 hours, time which hasn't been wasted, and so now I am the very physically strong and wealthy individual you see before you today.

Somewhere out there in the shifting mists of infinitum, there is a universe where a bull-necked stand-up comic isn’t the single most influential human being on earth. But this isn’t it! Accept Rog into your life

I was growing up in the US when JR broke onto the scene as the host of Fear Factor and that’s all I remember him from and he does seem to have become the bro-iest of bros in the intervening years. Hilarious as usual. 🤣

This is pretty funny and spot on about the Joe heads and their level of commitment to the primal lifestyle 😅

My attention has been paid in sweat! Fortunately, a currency I am wealthy in

You poor dears! I am just exhausted reading this! Especially the knees-over-toesing, that one got me a strained muscle, never mind where. I always thought the added benefit of chasing my dreams was that it starts with only brain work, and that's my favourite muscle to work out anyway. After that, the physical work starts, I think... Well, on the plus side, you may be nackered, but you are content. Let's raise a toast to that, my friend.

haha I need the exercise to keep noggin on the straight and narrow. I think I just need a holiday or a break or something. Thank you, Tali, yeah that's a bloody good point! and I probably wouldn't be content if I wasn't trying my hardest. so there's that

I went to dinner at an Italian restaurant for a friend's birthday, and we were dismayed to see that among the wall murals of old-school Hollywood stars and crooners, Joe was included on a mural next to other current comedians. We politely asked to be seated ANYWHERE but by his Bro face!

Would you flinch if Jesus Christ was in mural? Stop bad-mouthing dad-bro-saviour's face!

Good God is this good. Makes me angry at all the other writers who thought tendering their crap in my directions was worth my tim. My Tim Denning. Whatever the Wrong spelling of time is.
