After the Laundry, the MiseryEp 11: Bedtime for Dickocracy?What a week: Brett Kavanaugh's possible confirmation is looming, and #MeToo energy is exploding, thankfully, perhaps like never before. So that’s what Joe and Rod are talking about this episode — while trying not to contribute to the ever-growing clouds of toxic masculinity out there. But can they resist the allure of low-hanging — no pun intended — dick jokes? (Spoiler alert: NO.)
2018-10-0429 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 10: Of Meglin and MushroomsTurn On, Tune In, Drop Dead: Joe Raiola recalls his late MAD magazine comrade Nick Meglin, and we delve into the use (and misuse) of mild-altering substances for the purpose of spiritual—and comedic—attainment. Plus: Death! (On stage and off.)
2018-09-1142 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 9: Alan Watts’s Private Lesson From Beyond the GraveJoe shares his tale of a “cinematic” visitation, of sorts, from Alan Watts, famed philosopher, rapscallion, and synthesizer of Zen -- and many other forms of -- wisdom.
2018-08-0726 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 8: “I Was Glad Not To Be Shot”Comedian and "After the Laundry, the Misery" co-conspirator Joe Raiola just did his “Joy of Censorship: Free Speech in the Age of Trump” show for a Red State audience. So, was it a blast? Or a bomb? Plus: unpacking the “Trump Monkey Theory,” which everyone needs to know about because, as Joe so eloquently puts it, “Monkeys funny. We love monkeys.”
2018-07-2422 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 7: Vegas! (Where “Everything is Normal.”)Flashing lights. Families, and children, bathing in cigarette smoke. “Spiritual nightlife.” Welcome to Las Vegas, land of the Gene Wilder Slot Machine. "You will not," Joe Raiola contends, “find a more freakish place.” He just spent five nights there — before heading off to four days at a Zen monastery. Here’s what he saw.
2018-06-2625 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 6: What Samantha Bee SaidComedian and Full Frontal host Samantha Bee’s use of an epithet in reference to Ivanka Trump is big news. And now she’s issued an apology. Being a comedian and satirist deeply concerned with language and free speech, MAD magazine Senior Editor Emeritus Joe Raiola has lots to say about it all. “These words,” he says, “have power and meaning. How we use them matters!” Caution: this being a conversation about taboo words, there are taboo words ahead.
2018-06-0829 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 5: “I’d Rather Be a Buddhist In Denial”Comedian and MAD Magazine Senior Editor Emeritus Joe Raiola has been spending time with a Zen community for the better part of ten years. Now that he’s been asked to consider becoming a formal student, should Joe — who says joining’s never really been part of his brand — get out while the getting’s good?
2018-06-0526 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 4: A Royal Wedding in the Golden Age of BullshitThis episode, MAD Magazine Senior Editor Emeritus and Lion's Roar's Rod Meade Sperry are talking about the elephants in the room: Guns. Trump. And, you know, a pervading sense of despair. But don’t despair too much. Thanks to Joe, there’s plenty of laughter soon enough — and some wisdom about staying sane when there's so, so, SO much to be angry about. Bonus: Joe reads his latest piece, "Reflecting on Mass Murder and the 'Most Extraordinary Hats' at the Royal Wedding."
2018-05-2229 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 3: Catch a Rising JoeThe formula goes that Comedy = Tragedy + Time, so Episode 3 goes way back with MAD Magazine Senior Editor Emeritus Joe Raiola to the slightly disturbing (and, a little gross) moment that would lead him to realize that he wanted a life in comedy, to how he built that life: getting in trouble as a high-school standup, meeting and working with writing and performing partner Charlie Kadau, paying his dues amongst Eddie Murphy, Dice Clay, and other up-and-comers of the New York comedy scene, landing work with National Lampoon alumni, and of course, starting at MAD.
2018-05-0836 minAfter the Laundry, the MiseryEp 2: Holy Purell!

Gaines, and reveals what he's doing with his new-found free time back in New York: practicing Zen meditation.
