REBUILDING the MONOCULTURE (LISTENER CELEBRATION for Thanksgiving!)

In this raw, unfiltered three-hour-plus marathon straight from the heart—no script, no safety net, no second takes—Joe goes all-in on why he’s obsessed with the idea of a real monoculture, the shared cultural air we all used to breathe together that’s been deliberately shattered over the last decade, and how this show (with its 1.3 million warriors) is quietly becoming the seed of a brand-new one: a tribe that laughs at the same jokes, sees through the same lies, and marches toward the same horizon. Part love letter to the audience that’s turned his wildest dreams into inevitability, part victory lap now that every door in entertainment is swinging open, and part unapologetic blueprint of what’s coming next—from bigger stages and bolder projects all the way to the insane endgame of a full-blown amusement park—this special Thanksgiving episode is pure gratitude, zero brakes, and a promise that the best chapters are still ahead because you, the listeners, made the old rules irrelevant.
