Joel Radio #73: Good Riddance Regis
Nov 26th
The guys do a live commentary of the final Live! With Regis and Kelly starring Regis Philbin. Listen as Joel and Corey try to find highlights in a show highlighting a near 30-year run on the same program. What does it say when a 1-hour highlight show feels padded? That Regis’ career was that of an affable, do-nothing hump who made a fortune off telling Midwest housewives where he went to dinner? Something like that. The guys break down the final show, Regis’ seeming lack of emotion, the bizarre celebrity audience members and the near-complete snubbing of Kathie Lee Gifford. The guys make a decent-tasting turkey sandwich out of a foul-tasting turkey of a TV send-off. A perfect post-Thanksgiving treat. I guess we now have to hear where Nick Lachey went to dinner for the next 30 years…..

Joel Radio #72: Gettin’ Clothes and Stuff
Nov 11th
Detroit is a wonderful place to live – if you’re in the city’s government. More than a couple of our former leaders are in jail, some awaiting trial, etc. It’s a dirtier city than the Atlantic City in Boardwalk Empire. Everyone’s on the take and the residents are poor and suffering. Thank the imaginary deity then, that we have Charlie LeDuff, a bizarre, homeless-looking, straight talking reporter with the on-air skills of a freshman broadcasting student. Still, Joel and Corey love Charlie LeDuff, and this weeks report is a doozy – you’ll hear it on the show, but it’s embedded here, too. It’s example 1A of a non-traditional broadcaster going beyond boundaries of what’s accepted and the media better off for it (speaking of that, can we get Joel and Corey on the radio?). Anyway, it’s a busy week, as Penn State’s boy-touching scandal explodes the campus, Adam Sandler releases Jack and Jill – the worst movie ever (according to Corey), and Joel suffers an insufferably stupid injury. Plus, wrestlers vs comedians – who’s the bigger scumbags?, the Chinese love KFC and the history of Joel’s neighbors – the worst ever.
