    This week on If You Would’ve Told Me, we dive into the Super Bowl halftime show that had everyone talking — Bad Bunny! 🐰 From the viral memes, internet outrage, and political hot takes to flags, cultural pride, and representation for Puerto Rican and Latinx communities, we break down why this performance was so impactful.

    But we don’t stop there — we also share our Super Bowl stories: Patriots vs. Giants debates, our chaotic box office bets, and sports takes you didn’t know you needed. Plus, personal comedy gig highlights, funny audience experiences, and reflections on language, culture, and why people just can’t chill online.

    It’s a full episode of sports, culture, comedy, and internet chaos — don’t miss it!

  • From Milk Duds to Marrying AI
    Feb 2 2026

    This episode starts with cantaloupe hate and somehow ends with a woman marrying AI — and honestly, it all makes sense by the end.

    Joe and Emily riff on edible arrangements, candy nostalgia, and disastrous movie-theater first dates (including a near-death Milk Duds incident). Things take a turn into pure chaos with stories from Joe’s days working at a mom-and-pop video store — complete with a porn room, unhinged customers, and the night two masked men ran in to steal a Spawnmovie poster while Joe froze mid-sandwich.

    Along the way, they talk dating in your 20s vs 30s, growing up too fast, skateboarding mishaps, getting “almost” mugged, and how time quietly sneaks up on you.

    Then the episode swerves hard into the future: a real story about a woman who married an AI chatbot, what that means for human relationships, and whether we’re already more married to our phones than we realize.

    Funny, nostalgic, slightly unsettling — this one has everything.

  • Something Feels Off
    Jan 18 2026

    This week, Joe and Emily do what they do best: start recording before they realize they’re recording and let the conversation go wherever it wants.

    They debate coffee vs tea, spiral over why drip coffee is disappearing, and assign themselves questionable caffeine homework. Things take a turn into absurdity with invisible art selling for $18,000, silent comedy shows, naked stand-up, and why comedy doesn’t need gimmicks to work.

    Joe shares a painfully memorable roast story involving powerful politicians, bombing in front of friends, and why sensitive comics never forget. Along the way, they get into Knives Out, White Lotus, reality TV conspiracies, Chris Hansen nostalgia, and the ethics of “To Catch a Predator.”

    And somehow, it all ends with a heated argument over what to call the place where you buy food — because apparently “food store” is controversial.

    Loose, funny, observational, and exactly the kind of episode you didn’t know you needed.
