Corey and Joel Radio Show #159: Turn This Off at 63:00
Feb 7th
What to do? It was a very good hour+ of show and a retarded, hard-headed obnoxious, political debate at the end. So yeah, follow the title and turn it off, you won’t miss much. Actually there’s no politcal talk at all in the beginning, as the guys review the Super Bowl. And the Super Bowl commercials and why can’t Carlos Mencia just die? But Joel really loved the Puppy Bowl. Even cold-hearted Corey warms to it and found a favorite pup. But what of the other counter programming? Seal on Ice?!? You gotta be kidding. Also, dead, dumb Heath Ledger, French candy reviewed, and sixth-graders perform M*A*S*H. The longest, single show ever, and hardly the best.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #158: The Essence of Our Elders
Jan 31st
After a very long time, good friend and great comic Steve Brewer returns to the show. Steve performed at last week’s Comedy Fest as well as sharing an entire weekend of work with Joel, so he’s full of good stories. Like what comic nearly ruined the weekend by going over his time? And how did a kindly 90-year-old man help Joel have one of his best shows ever? And how did the old fart prevent Joel from getting laid? Also, Brewer’s road comic piss dilemma, more Cloverfield discussion, and Corey & Joel have one of the most intense fights ever – but it’s not over women, money or power – it’s over candy.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #157: Live from the Fest
Jan 21st
Corey and Joel are live from the 1st annual Detroit International Comedy Festival at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle on this special show. The guys sit down with all the stars of the show, like headliner Mike Green. Mike details his 22-year rise to stardom and the four wives it took to get him there. He describes being the subject of a new documentary, the genesis of his material and how he tries not to sound like Dane Cook. Then you’ll meet relative newcomer Dave Landau, who’s made appearances on Comedy Central and Last Comic Standing. Even with his success, Dave still has to take 3AM flight to his Carribean honeymoon. What’s the itenerary Detroit to Nassau via Stockholm? Dave’s a good sport and a good comic. We also catch up with performers and old friends Keith Ruff, Bill Hildebrandt and Bill Bushart. Find who got banned from a club and why, who hated their Festival set and who won’t allow Joel back at his house for a party. Also, club owner and comedy legend Mark Ridley stops by, a check bounces (not Mark’s!) and the best Jay Leno and Kevin Eubanks impressions – ever.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #156: The Fest and the Rest
Jan 17th
It’s a special show this week, as Corey and Joel preview the first annual Detroit International Comedy Festival. They’re joined in this by festival organizer/comedian/Corey and Joel Roaster, Kevin Wheeler. Kevin runs down the line-up which features Corey, Joel, tons of past guest comics from the show and even Full House-alumnus Dave Coulier. Kevin describes the challenges of bringing the festival to fruition as the guys detail their plans of covering the festival for the show. But that’s not all, as Joel recommends his favorite new reality show, Parking Wars, which sends Corey into a tizzy. Seems he hates parking enforcement officers more than Al Queda. Is it just white-liberal rage, or is there some justification? Also, find out if the new sci-fi dorkfest flick Cloverfield is worth your time and hard earned pesos. Corey’s suggestion – sit far, far away.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #155: The Songs of the 70s
Jan 10th
In their first “real” show show of 2008 (after the Death Pool) the guys recap their respective New Years Eves. While both did gigs and both got caught in the snow, only Joel rang in the new year miserable, cold, alone, and scared – the same way he spent most of 2007. Also, the fan Death Pool draft went down with increased participation and just a little bit of controversy. Who chose obscure BBC actors? Who hates old baseball coaches? Who tried to draft all four Golden Girls? Plus, Joel recounts the heyday of 70s pop and hear one of the most amazing stories of showbiz fame (or lack thereof) ever. To top it off, Corey learns about dagos, American Gladiators returns, and is there such a thing as a fat Jew?

Corey and Joel Radio Show #154: Death Pool 2008
Jan 3rd
Everyone’s favorite feature is back, it’s the Death Pool draft for 2008! And this year, Joel didn’t mess up the recording. There’s a new panel too, with announcer Rob Rose, comic Tim Walsh and Corey’s goomah, Amy. Hear them pick which celebrities are going to die in 2008. Hear the hilarity as Tim picks someone already dead – or is she? How many pro wrestlers get picked? Does Corey hold on to Dick Clark for another year? Does Soupy Sales’ vim and vigor taunt Joel in the middle of the night? Are there any other old First Ladies for Amy to pick? It’s sixteen rounds of mean-spirited strategy, fun and laughter. Also, sign up for the mailing list to get an additional thirty minutes of show with the last five rounds of draft and lots of funny analysis – a must listen.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #153: The Big Demilio
Dec 27th
Back after a long absence it’s a friend of ours, everybody’s favorite comedy good guy Sal Demilio, with a bag of holiday cheer for the fellas. Sal offers his lock solid, bet the house, can’t miss picks for the College Football Bowl season. So if you lose money, don’t blame him, but keep in mind he probably knows some people who can get you a loan. Then it’s on to Corey’s country X-mas in the hinterlands, while Sal and Joel swap stories of their traditional Italian family seasonal traditions. Lots of yummy pasta but what’s the deal with the freaking “seven fishes”? Also: Death pool pre-game, ghetto shopping malls, and the wonder of Eddie Mekka. Plus Corey reveals his list of the absolute worst movies of 2007.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #151: Kwaanzakkah Part 1
Dec 20th
Your favorite podcasters have created a new holiday, Kwaanzakkah, and invited Detroit’s best black, Jewish and other comedians to help celebrate. As packed house at Club Bart in Ferndale, MI listens on, the guys welcome show newcomer Nate Fridson, veteran Keith Ruff – who had played pretty much everywhere before this, top Jew and hilarious comic Ben Konstanitin, and rising star and Corey and Joel insulter Matt McClowry. It’s a great line-up of comedians, so put on a ridiculous outfit and enjoy one of Corey and Joel’s finest moments.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #152: Kwaanzakkah Part 2
Dec 20th
The second part of the Kwaanzakkah celebration features the huge talent(s) of Miss Crystal P, long-time friend Jeff Dwoskin, relative newcomer Adam Sokol and a special appearance by show fave Mike Lundy. Mike, of course, has strong words for Joel’s outfit, but Corey’s garb seems to get more attention overall. The guys also try to speak to German superfan Nils, who flew in unexpectedly, but Nils is left speechless by the celebration of all things black and Jewish. Also, was the show good enough for a sequel? Joel has a good title, anyway. Happy Kwaanzakkah everybody!

Corey and Joel Radio Show #150: Punky Brewster Gets Pregnant
Dec 13th
After 150 shows, Joel finally has his proudest achievement – procuring free porn in a hotel room. Yes, Joel found a way to unlock the non-stop filth at a fairly classy place over the weekend. Get the full step-by-step instructions on this show. Never spend a lonely night in a hotel room again. Also, possibly the most contentious movie review in the show’s history. The film is Juno, and the guys couldn’t disagree about it more. Corey found it funny, honest and moving, while Joel thought it was lame, pretentious and humorless. Should Joel like a movie just because he likes the bands on the soundtrack? What if the music isn’t used well? It’s a hot debate on this show. Plus, who’s the presidential nominee, porn PPV ripoffs, and Lily Allen vs ELO.
