They skipped way too much of 52nd street. . . Stiletto is one of his best songs period.

I want more Hoel
Boo Dism
More Hoel, please.
Kal Peduzzi
I'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!
Josh Paisant
Finally 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
Jim D.
Billy's sunglass journey is fantastic
Sam Melman
Really good hoel, gentlemen
Mary-Anne McTrowe
good hoel, fellas!
Chip Rascal
Yes!

We 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.
Tron Brown
"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.
Dirk Diggler
Can’t believe y’all skipped over ‘Zanzibar’ and ‘Stiletto’ so quick!! Two amazing songs!! 😒
Nando Ramirez
this was my first hoel and i really loved it!
Austin Guth
My 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.
DanBo
Lol 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
So 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 ✌️♥️

^^^^ also 69th comment nice
brainblob
good hole guys
Joe King
I became a patron for this video. Glass Houses is a classic. “Sleeping with the Television On” is top shelf Joel.
Andrew
Just 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.
Jimjim
I 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
K T
Informative and fun. Thank you Vic!

Stiletto 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.
David D
Longview: Green Day
Dylan Murray
Other songs about self-love: Cyndi Lauper: She Bop Broken Social Scene: Me and My Hand
Journe
Surprised by all the Joel heads
Brian Rooney
May I say Dylan’s Self Portrait and Another Self Portrait are in my top 5 Dylan. (Nashville Skyline, New Morning, Blood on the Tracks)
M. Tetlinger
🤣
Conner
20:50 scared the hell out of me lol
Kyle Smith
"Icicle" by Tori Amos
Jesse Peikoff
That 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?
Wolf Digs
Someone 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
Max Lazzara
Tim, 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
avj
The 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.
Ross Phillips
I really don't care for Billy Joel. But his hole? Now i'm getting excited.
Clay N. Ferno
I had so many of these on 8-track from my cocaine-dealing Uncle (RIP) as hand-me-downs. Love it!
Clay N. Ferno
What's better than a K-Hoel? a Joel Hoel!
Goose
I loved the ep even though Tim was speeding through the songs like he had a frozen pizza in the oven. Viva la Hoel!!
Joel Holdsworth
I am Joel Hol. Remember guys???!!?!! Remember?!??!??!!??!!
Ty Hi
I am so happy, missed the Hoel!
Todd
I think all cars sold in the mid to late 80s came with a free copy of Innocent Man and maybe Graceland.
Todd
That 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
Sleeping 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.
Mertie
what a great way to start my morning, I'm meeting with a new therapist today so I'm a little nervous, this helps.
jacob brams
thanks for turning me on to sleeping with the TV on, vic. that bridge is unreal
Shawn Morones
VIC, 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
now 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
most of this episode felt like talking about the videos and less about the actual music
Shawn Morones
like, 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
Glass Houses is my favorite too, Vic
Shawn Morones
the music is so much more enjoyable when you DON'T watch/show the music videoslol
Matt Whittle
Thanks! 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!
Reagan Bond
Missed 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.
Mike Gibbons
The best Joel interpolation in hip hop, starting around 2:40: https://youtu.be/bx14hca1z_c
DanBo
Oh hell yeah, this is why I PRESCRIBE ;D Go Joel Go , thanks Office Hours Co!
Mike Gibbons
Slow down, guys! Give these songs a chance! I'm with Vic, Glass Houses is maybe the best Joel album.
Thomas Bell
I hope they do two more episodes! Love, love love the Joel Hole
Jon Uleis
So 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!
M. Tetlinger
Tim 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.
Charlie Van Stee
Can’t wait for the in depth podcast about this song https://youtu.be/woLQI8X2R6Y
Nick Piper
All For Leyna might be my top Joel. Great episode gang.
🖤Cassie🖤
The breaking leg thing really made me laugh.
Shawn McNulty
Those 52nd Street deep tracks are pure gold.
St Cole
its 4/4
Eric D.
Can’t tell you how much joy this brings a recovering long islander. Thank you, Vic.
Rene Duplantier
This episode is getting me so hype to hear the trinity talk about the Joel doo wop era
Boognish
What a treat. Thank you all!
Marcus Collar
Whoa the deep dive into him emulating other acts was great!
Micah McCaw
That song where they debate the time signature is 4/4. Ding ding for Timmy
Tommy LaCroix
at last! need my fix!
Danny Schluck

Kevin Doyle
Looking forward to watching this. Thank you.
Tim Erbes
