Woke My Joke

As the lockdown continues Comedy Writer Dane Giraud and "The Ben Vareen of the Bay" Robert "Hatakehi Koroua" Rowe take out their frustration on "I, The Jury" (1982) the neo-noir that saw Amand Assante filling the gumshoes of hard-boiled detective Mike Hammer. Is it woke? Hell nawwww! It's a fast-paced, violent sex-fest brimming with beautiful women that they just don't make anymore. The boys also explore the sub-genre of "characters that turn down sex with ridiculously beautiful women for NO GOOD REASON" and Robert Rowe pays special tribute to a "pioneer".

Comedy writer Dane Giraud and Napier's favorite children's party face-painter Robert (Ribbet - he's got some frog shtick going on) Rowe are back to complete their celebration of the works of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, a childhood staple for many millennials, despite the ultra-violence and plots that couldn't make less freaking sense. Also, the real meaning of the word schmuck. Hint: Rob is an embodiment of that shit!!! Don't forget to leave a review!   

In our next "lockdown" episode, Comedy Writer Dane Giraud and Napier Entertainer Robert Rowe invite you for a ride in their dune buggy! That's right, the boys are exploring the work and - fuck it - ART!!! - of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, the Italian comedy-action duo whose punch-ups and slapstick humor meant the world to countless young boys around the world. But was it ever responsible to teach young men how to hammer-punch each other? Also, Dane is mistaken for a young Paul Newman, the boy's debate whether we have it worse in this stinking lockdown than the guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy, and there's some serious confusion about the role of the Easter Bunny! Enjoy! And don't forget to leave a review. 

It's day 3 of the national lockdown and, if life wasn't miserable enough, Comedy Writer Dane Giraud and Napier Entertainer Robert Rowe want to inflict another podcast episode overflowing of total dreck upon you all. This episode we look at the Quentin Tarantino penned "True Romance" (1993) with a special focus on the supremely un-woke "Sicilian scene". Also, Rob's breathtaking similarities to Charlies Angel's star Farah Fawcett (We uncover some Twilight Zone level shit here!), praise for the genius of Dennis Hopper, and the boys "crush" hard on Don Johnson. 

Comedy Writer Dane Giraud and Napier Entertainer Robert Rowe are feeling a little bashed and bruised after losing their major platform over multiple breaches of broadcast standards. As the dust settles the boys reflect on the state of censorship today and the increasingly low-bar as to what's considered "beyond the pale" before launching into some jokes, including the debut of a gag from a new writer on the "woke my joke" table! 

Woke My Joke is back with a new season and a new attitude! OK, that's not true. The show is more of the same. But when your "same" is this good, why go changing? In this episode, Comedy Writer and Asshole Extraordinaire Dane Giraud and the greatest co-host in podcasting wrestle with "It Ain't Half Hot, Mum", a British show of the mid-70's that is today banned in the UK for its use of racial stereotypes (and quite possibly homophobia). This kicks off a discussion on the utility in art of the stereotype, and the boys touch upon the Apu (of The Simpsons fame) controversy. Also, Dane reveals a hidden sexual talent, and Rob is humbled by praise. Remember to like and share the episode!  

Comedy writer Dane Giraud and Napier Entertainer Robert Rowe wrap up "The Love Boat" (f#cking finally!) and then it's on to some good old fashioned joke-telling as the boys do their darnedest to destroy their respective careers. Plus, Dane suggests being trapped in a fiery car wreck may ultimately be good for the wairua (spirit) of Robert Rowe, and Rob invents a magic trick that would finally rid him of Dane for good!

We're back on the high seas of cheese for Part 2 (and counting) of "The Love Boat". Napier Entertainer Robert "Mr. Applause" Rowe lays out the case for Doc (played by the great Bernie Kopell) being a sexual predator and Comedy Writer Dane "Payday" Giraud uncovers a deadly curse associated with "The Love Boat", a curse that the boys may have unwittingly invited into the studio!   

Comedy writer Dane (Payday) Giraud and comic foil Robert Rowe book a cruise on the kitschy 70's TV show "The Love Boat" to see if the heterosexual f#ck-fest would float in today's woke world. Also, listen out for the story of the goy with the ass of a middle aged woman who was forced to jerk-off turkeys during his stay on a kibbutz (a story Dane's currently adapting for Mel Gibson's company. Mazel Tov, Dane!). 

Comedy writer Dane Giraud and Mr. Applause Robert Rowe wrap up their discussion on the film one jerk-off of a film reviewer called "ridiculously white". That's right! Tarantino's freaking masterpiece "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood". 

Was Mr. Tarantino disrespectful to Mr. Lee? Should his movie-making license now be revoked? Or, as Comedy writer Dane Giraud, and co-host "Mr Applause" Robert Rowe argue in this irreverent episode of "Woke My Joke", is the outrage targeting "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" more proof (as if any was needed) that the woke are every bit as nuts as the Manson clan?!  Also, Dane compares himself to a Hollywood icon, and Rob's having none of it! And the boys celebrate the work of Sterling Hayden.

The boys continue through the long list of performers who fell victim woke show-trials and wonder who and when some motherfucker is gonna stand up!

Comedy writer Dane Giraud and co-host Napier Entertainer Robert Rowe continue their discussion of controversial British crime-action-drama "The Professionals" and uncover one of its star's attempt to erase it from TV history. 

British TV has never been more bad-ass than legendary writer/ producer Brian Clemen's "The Professionals" and we explore an early episode of the crime-action-drama banned for its racism, that had Comedy writer Dane Giraud and co-host Napier Entertainer Robert Rowe seriously squirming. 

"Harry hates everybody", which is something uber-cop Dirty Harry shares with the woke! Listen in for a spirited Part 2 of our breakdown of Harry's crimes against political correctness. 

He may be everybody's favorite fascistic cop, but Comedy writer Dane Giraud and his co-host Robert Rowe have serious doubts if Dirty Harry could operate in today's woke world. A great and funny episode on Clint Eastwood's classic, in many ways breakthrough role, and we pay homage to Andy Robinson who redefined the movie psycho for the 70s and beyond.
