130 - Was A Kennedy Ever Eaten By A Shark? Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

This week Craig’s TV watching habits opened the floodgates to a bigger question. There’s a new CNN docu-series about the tragic death of JFK Jr. called “American Prince” and while watching it, Craig somehow got the notion in his head that at some point in history and of all the tragic deaths surrounding The Kennedy family one of them happened to be eaten by a shark. The JFK Jr. story has been on Craig’s mind himself, not just because the show he’s watching but he too has a pilot’s license and is an avid fan of aviation.

129 - Vampire Penguins Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

Craig is fresh off his recent promotional tour for his show SCRABBLE and he reflects on some interviews he did on podcasts. But things very quickly turn to the topic of vampires? Why? Because sometimes they need to be discussed. But that doesn't prevent some tweets and emails being answered. There's still plenty of time for both.

128 - Not All Horses Are Fake Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

It’s been a week packed with travel for Craig as he’s been zigzagging across this great nation shooting segments for his freshly-announced CNN show, American On Purpose. But in addition, he’s also been performing stand-up in between, in a nutshell it’s a lot of commercial travel for Craig. But that doesn’t mean you won’ get your spark of Joy this week. Craig wouldn’t leave you like that.

127 - Chatty McChatterson Chats About Everything Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

This week Craig reveals the reason he’s been on the road so much for the last few months. That’s because news this week broke that his new CNN TV show, American on Purpose will be premiering shortly on the network. It’s based on the NY Times Bestselling book of the same name that Craig wrote a few years back when he first became a citizen of the United States. It’s the 250th anniversary of the United States and the goal of the show is to celebrate the United States. Being proud of our great country while at the same time not taking a jingoistic approach about it. Working with the folks at CNN that worked with the late, great Anthony Bourdain.

126 - Koalas Are Not Real Bears Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

It’s an arctic theme this week. And totally by accident as Craig recalls a story about an Arctic expedition that ends with frozen body parts, wild animals, bears (both grizzly and polar), and some bity sharks. But it does eventually lead to the question, are Koalas real bears? Have a question for Craig?

124 - Craig's Book Club (Plot Twist: He Hasn't Read The Books) Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Coming at you live from London as Craig is on location for the week before returning stateside. But the jetsetting has left Craig jetlagged but rather than being unproductive he decided to give us an impromptu book club. So he went online and ordered 4 books that he has to recommend to us. But there’s a catch, he’s yet to read the books. So he’s flying purely on titles and descriptions for us. Buckle up.

It's A Long Way To The Top If You Want To Rock And Roll Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

It's the new year and we have the first episode of the Joy Podcast of the new year. And what better way to kick off 2026 with Craig checking in with you all? But first some light housekeeping and a quick addressing of a unintentionally controversial take about bagpipes from last week's episode and possibly following it up with another unpopular opinion about more music. Heck, even Emily In Paris is unsafe.
