In this episode of Billy and Willie’s Workshop, Billy and Willie break down the rules of comedy in a divided world—where intent, timing, and crowd psychology matter more than playing it safe. They discuss controversial jokes, MAGA audiences, cancel culture, and why being funny is the ultimate permission slip. The conversation also dives into life on the comedy circuit, post-COVID crowds, Christmas chaos, and how stand-up has changed over the years. Honest, raw, and unapologetically funny.

In this Billy & Willie’s Workshop Christmas Special, the guys spiral into one of the most outrageous, uncomfortable, and hilarious conversations they’ve ever had—starting with a deep (and wildly inappropriate) dive into the Christmas story.
What begins as childhood recital memories quickly turns into a no-holds-barred debate about Joseph, Mary, the Virgin Birth, biblical timelines, Greek mythology, and whether Joseph was actually planning to “put Mary away quietly.” The discussion bounces between scripture, Catholic guilt, modern skepticism, comedy logic, and absolute disbelief—complete with Bible verses, historical context, and some very strong opinions.
This episode is not for the easily offended, but if you enjoy raw comedy, religious hot takes, Christmas chaos, and conversations that go completely off the rails, this one delivers.
Pour a drink, buckle up, and enjoy one of the most unforgettable holiday episodes Billy & Willie have ever recorded.

Does speeding up a podcast actually make it better? Billy & Willie debate theme song speed, podcast playback habits, and spiral into classic Workshop chaos. The guys talk stand-up comedy writing, preparing for major shows, rewriting jokes, and why some comics still don’t write things down.
Along the way, they break down Willy Wonka logic, Wicked, Jeff Goldblum’s unmatched creepiness, horror movies that actually traumatized them as kids, and which actors guarantee a watch no matter what. Fast, unfiltered, and completely off the rails—this is Billy & Willie’s Workshop at full speed.

Billy and Willie are back and immediately off the rails—breaking down Iowa’s basketball woes, Nebraska getting “piss-pounded,” and why Big Ten games need better crowds. Then things take a hard left into Mormons, forged documents, pipe bombs, Trump, religion, and whether sitcoms unfairly make every husband look like an idiot. Toss in some Monty Python fights, Kevin Costner slander, Scientology shade, Kevin Spacey updates, and a debate about the greatest sitcoms ever… and you’ve got another classic chaotic workshop session.

This week on Billy & Willie's Workshop, the guys are fired up fresh off the Iowa game—where Billy went full superfan and may or may not have scared Willie with his hawkeye-level enthusiasm. Willie tries to keep him grounded, but once Billy starts chanting, there’s no stopping him.
Then, the crew breaks down their Top 25 Best Comedy Movies of All Time—with the most chaotic, passionate, and probably incorrect rankings you’ve ever heard. Expect classics, hot takes, and at least three arguments about whether a movie even counts as a “comedy.”
And just when you think it can’t get any more ridiculous, Chris debuts an Ozempic for You commercial starring Fat Willie… and yes, it’s exactly as unhinged as it sounds. Pasta jokes were made. Feelings were hurt. Comedy was achieved.
