Cory and Bill enter the Dope Wop Joel era with An Innocent Man. So get ready to party like it's 1959 by way of 1983. Grab your Dad's Trojans and strap in.
Hola vinos blancos y rojas! This episode comes to you from Mexico for no apparent reason! Cory and Bill are joined by fellow Awful DJ Josh Lay, as they sip champagne and slurp Lambrusco while they delve into the Piano Man's ode to the baby-boomer generation.
Cory and Bill made it to their first live album, Billy Joel's Songs In The Attic and for wine they drink some "wines from the attic" aka stuff lying around their houses. Cory does Dry January and Bill is forced to drink Cory's attic wine which is...not great?
Cory and Bill welcome their first guest, Long Island's finest and a lifelong Joelhole, Anthony Miale (Emmy winning TV editor!) to cover Glass Houses. They taste crazy natural wines (you just may be a luuuunatic to drink them) and play lots of glass breaking sound effects. Too many sound effects? You may be right!
Cory and Bill are headed to Midtown Manhattan for Billy Joel's sixth album, 52nd Street. They taste wines reminiscent of midtown restaurants like Zanzibar and find out which album was the first to ever be released on CD (it's pretty obvious).
Bill and Cory are on Side B of The Stranger, and they crack open a white and their bottle of rosé instead to close out a review of the rest of the album.
Bill and Cory have their first "Rosé Instead" album, The Stranger and get so into it they have to split this episode into two parts. They talk Billy Joel's classic album, talk "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" and the namesake of their podcast, and hear the sweet sounds of Billy Joel's bass player's Corvette screechin' off.
