Joel Radio #236: Certified By Seiko
Jan 22nd
It’s a with great pride that Joel Radio can introduce you to Seiko, a native Japanese man who now lives in America and who is one of Joel’s former comedy students. Seiko is funny and charming and he has found success reviewing Japanese restaurants in the U.S. and sharing them on Facebook. This caught the attention of Corey Hall who asked Seiko to bring back some snacks from a recent visit to Japan. Those snacks, which the guys try, include green chocolate Kit Kats, pickled seaweed, and shrimp flavored cookies. They’re as good as they sound, folks! Corey retorts with wacky American snacks, some of which were new to Seiko! Will he enjoy a Toffifay? Listen to find out. The guys also chat about Seiko’s comedy career, how he’d fare in a black comedy club and much more. Also, which Fyre Festival documentary should you watch to see “influencers” get scammed and made to suffer? Joel and Corey have seen both and they’ll get you up to speed. Plus, what’s so special about Japanese toilets?, Mary Poppins Returns is the same crap, Roma feels like film school (in a bad way), and a Ruth Bader Ginsburg double feature is what has become Joel’s life in Oscar season.
The smiles hide the fact that these snacks mostly sucked
Joel Radio #235: Late Bingo
Jan 4th
The first podcast of 2019 starts like the others – Corey Hall is late! Special guest comedian Bill Hildebrandt and Joel speculate as to why, creating the “Corey Hall is Late Bingo” game. Corey shows up after a few minutes, though. His reason? Listen to find out. And it’s a fun show, too, as the guys talk comedy on New Year’s Eve, why it’s not always a great show, how Tiffany Haddish and Louis CK had infamous NYE shows this year. There are wild, diverse opinions on the topic and Joel reads some online reaction, too, from friends an celebrities alike. Also, celebrities are dying already in 2019 including, legendary pro wrestling interviewer “Mean” Gene Okerlund, and comedy legend Bob Einstein. Plus, another take on the “Gallagher story”, Bird Box made the world go crazy even though it sucks, Joel says there are awesome documentaries on Hulu, and who thought Vice might be the best movie of 2018.
