Joel Radio #200: Jerry Eclipses Dick
Two titans of comedy dies this past week. Comedian/activist Dick Gregory dies Saturday and nightclub, movie and telethon star Jerry Lewis died less than twenty-four hours later. Joel and Corey Hall remember the legends including Jerry’s last dicky interview, his awful failed talk show, and his bizarre thoughts on the world in 2017. Joel met Dick Gregory twice and found things didn’t get better with age, as he remembers the brilliant gentle, hilarious comic and the bitter angry, pushed-into-it-by-his-family Dick from six months ago. Also, old friend Sal Demilio calls in to remember Jerry and Dick and give betting tips on the upcoming NFL season and the Mayweather/McGregor fight. Plus, Joel and Corey take in the eclipse, as show fave John Tenney calls in with his thoughts and explains how the paranormal community cashed in on the hysteria. If that wasn’t enough, Disney leaves Netflix, Seeso says goodbye, Viceland looks at stand-up comedy, and why Chik-fil-a not being open on Sunday was the worst idea ever.
