2024-12-13 15:14:06 +0000 UTCThey skipped way too much of 52nd street. . . Stiletto is one of his best songs period.

2023-06-06 18:23:21 +0000 UTCI'm with Vic on just about everything so far. I think Glass Houses is the most solid all the way through, although I prefer The Nylon Curtain for personal taste. I'm hungry for more Hoel, guys!

2023-01-18 17:53:01 +0000 UTCFinally just caught up in the joel hoel 3 & 4, great work vic & crew! Glass Houses kicks so much ass. Hope y'all are still planning to round out the hoel with one more

2022-03-14 14:51:12 +0000 UTCWe adopted a stray kitten 2 days ago, and so I decided to show my partner Disney's 1988 "Oliver and Company", a film I've watched way too many times as a kid and adult. I knew Huey Lewis and Bette Midler both get big song moments, but what I didn't know until just now is that the 2nd lead, a streetsmart dog, is played by, you guessed it, Billy Joel.

2022-03-13 08:27:07 +0000 UTC"Viewers of Joel Hoel are aware what's on The Stranger." No, Tim. I know nothing about Joel but I love how into it Vic gets.

2022-03-11 20:37:36 +0000 UTCCan’t believe y’all skipped over ‘Zanzibar’ and ‘Stiletto’ so quick!! Two amazing songs!! 😒

2022-03-11 06:40:14 +0000 UTCthis was my first hoel and i really loved it!
Nando Ramirez
2022-03-09 01:44:46 +0000 UTCMy dad started a boo that booed Billy Joel off stage in Chicago. He said Joel was opening for Cheap Trick and he and his buddy just really wanted to see them play. I really wish I could figure out what concert it was at.
Austin Guth
2022-03-08 08:49:22 +0000 UTCLol same I love my ‘decker a lil hot & vinegared myself too, I am delighted in his real or performative anger, Jack Nicholson who? Tim’s ability to conversationally, jump a shark with the seadoo doing backflips and fireworks and middle fingers and guitar solos and land it, and still get the applause is always goin to work every time 😆♥️✌️Grateful and thankful for all we get from these lovely people ! :)
DanBo
2022-03-08 02:29:21 +0000 UTCSo good, excited for the Nylon Curtain era and then the Doo Wop Christi Brinkley era Joel, do two or three more episodes, keep ‘em long, ‘daddy loves his long hole Joel’d yikes lol ;) Peace & Love ✌️♥️

2022-03-07 16:31:32 +0000 UTCgood hole guys
brainblob
2022-03-07 16:31:06 +0000 UTCI became a patron for this video. Glass Houses is a classic. “Sleeping with the Television On” is top shelf Joel.
Joe King
2022-03-07 06:18:57 +0000 UTCJust want to say it's great to find another "Sex Over the Phone" supporter. It's very on the nose like the guys said, but it's catchy! It was released during the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and it was intended to encourage/normalize safer alternatives to sex.
Andrew
2022-03-07 04:00:51 +0000 UTCI don't enjoy Billy Joel at all but for some reason I love this show. It's great to see the Trinity in something more structured in a pure commentary mode
Jimjim
2022-03-07 00:57:01 +0000 UTCInformative and fun. Thank you Vic!

2022-03-06 20:35:26 +0000 UTCStiletto was basically skipped over unfortunately. That’s a really good one. Dynamic and it all comes together at one point in a strong way. Unfortunately for Tim there is saxophone on it. Also, i don’t think it’s about shoes as much as S&M.

Kyle Smith
2022-03-04 22:12:01 +0000 UTCThat song sounded like 4/4 with some very syncopated accents giving it an off time feel. Also - would my ding a ling count as a jerk off song, or is it more of a hand job song?
Jesse Peikoff
2022-03-04 20:22:35 +0000 UTCSomeone is posting all sorts of on cinema at the cinema content on YouTube. Just thought you guys would like to know, especially Tim. The channel is HEI Guys

2022-03-04 18:01:30 +0000 UTCTim, with peace and love, please put on some nice headphones, have some marijuana and give Glass Houses a listen again. you’re gonna love it
Max Lazzara
2022-03-04 18:01:21 +0000 UTCThe moment Tim Heidecker ceases to show flowery and open disdain for something he's doing is the moment I pack it up and leave for good.
avj
2022-03-04 17:51:05 +0000 UTCI really don't care for Billy Joel. But his hole? Now i'm getting excited.
Ross Phillips
2022-03-04 17:27:32 +0000 UTCI had so many of these on 8-track from my cocaine-dealing Uncle (RIP) as hand-me-downs. Love it!
Clay N. Ferno
2022-03-04 17:27:29 +0000 UTCWhat's better than a K-Hoel? a Joel Hoel!
Clay N. Ferno
2022-03-04 17:18:41 +0000 UTCI loved the ep even though Tim was speeding through the songs like he had a frozen pizza in the oven. Viva la Hoel!!

2022-03-04 16:04:39 +0000 UTCI think all cars sold in the mid to late 80s came with a free copy of Innocent Man and maybe Graceland.
Todd
2022-03-04 14:07:02 +0000 UTCThat being said, this series has opened my eyes too how much of a hack BJ is/was. Not a talentless hack but a hack nonetheless. And it’s no surprise that with his method of following the wave he stopped making records in the early 90s because there’s no way he could have done grunge or hip hop or anything that came after.
Todd
2022-03-04 13:44:14 +0000 UTCSleeping With the Television On is one of the best. A hidden gem. I thought I was alone in thinking that. Nice to know I’m not. It has one of his best lines too “I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more a fool who’s not afraid of rejection.” Hopefully Tim is well rested and in a Better mood for Nylon Curtain. At least Doug is there with an open mind.
Todd
2022-03-04 13:27:49 +0000 UTCwhat a great way to start my morning, I'm meeting with a new therapist today so I'm a little nervous, this helps.
Mertie
2022-03-04 13:21:27 +0000 UTCthanks for turning me on to sleeping with the TV on, vic. that bridge is unreal
jacob brams
2022-03-04 12:47:48 +0000 UTCVIC, don't give up so easy and lose the confidence. this is so frustrating, I love this album and "sleeping with..." is a top 5 Joel song for me too. ok im done self feff
Shawn Morones
2022-03-04 08:30:48 +0000 UTCnow I'm at the "sleeping with the television on" part and once again! we're talking over the music...no wonder the guys "don't like it"
Shawn Morones
2022-03-04 08:28:57 +0000 UTCmost of this episode felt like talking about the videos and less about the actual music
Shawn Morones
2022-03-04 08:23:35 +0000 UTClike, I love the Billy Joel deep dive exploration, but introducing the songs through the corny era-specific visuals etc. just **ruins** the chance for someone less familiar (Tim/Doug) to hear the songs for what they are on their own
Shawn Morones
2022-03-04 08:22:47 +0000 UTCGlass Houses is my favorite too, Vic
Shawn Morones
2022-03-04 08:19:47 +0000 UTCthe music is so much more enjoyable when you DON'T watch/show the music videoslol
Shawn Morones
2022-03-04 08:19:33 +0000 UTCThanks! Coming home to this at the end of an exhausting week was just what I needed. Now bring on the Nylon Curtain hoel ... my fav album!
Matt Whittle
2022-03-04 07:52:47 +0000 UTCMissed a moment to mention Stiletto being sampled for this Kool G Rap classic. https://youtu.be/-RVQeJPAW2U But Beyonce gets a mention with her cover. Not the best episode because Tim is in a bad mood.
Reagan Bond
2022-03-04 06:49:58 +0000 UTCThe best Joel interpolation in hip hop, starting around 2:40: https://youtu.be/bx14hca1z_c

2022-03-04 06:24:25 +0000 UTCOh hell yeah, this is why I PRESCRIBE ;D Go Joel Go , thanks Office Hours Co!
DanBo
2022-03-04 06:13:36 +0000 UTCSlow down, guys! Give these songs a chance! I'm with Vic, Glass Houses is maybe the best Joel album.
Mike Gibbons
2022-03-04 05:51:26 +0000 UTCI hope they do two more episodes! Love, love love the Joel Hole
Thomas Bell
2022-03-04 05:36:45 +0000 UTCSo many genuinely fantastic album cuts that Tim dismisses seconds into the first verse - I hope he gave them another chance after recording. These are classic albums. Not flawless, but definitely not riddled with duds - we're not even up to bad Billy yet!
Jon Uleis
2022-03-04 04:47:59 +0000 UTCTim is fucking cranky and off the mark, dismissing the album tracks. Like, who doesn’t like “All For Leyna” and “Sleeping With The TV On”? Making him scrub through these great songs is bizarre. Thank you to the host for trying to focus on the good stuff.
M. Tetlinger
2022-03-04 03:49:17 +0000 UTCCan’t wait for the in depth podcast about this song https://youtu.be/woLQI8X2R6Y
