Joel Radio #36: No Cheesesteaks
Apr 1st
Joel is back from Philadelphia, and despite performing at a sold out show for 1700 people, the number one question he’s asked is “did you have a cheese steak?”. The answer is “NO” and Joel’s reasoning for that are on the show, plus hear about Joel’s Philly hotel room disaster, finally meeting Jimmy Walker, and how Philly is different from New York. Also, there’s drama on Dancing With the Stars, but since it involves “top asshole” Kate Gosselin, Joel doesn’t really care. Plus, eating crow over Alice in Wonderland, Ricky Gervais fails, 3-D can’t save Clash of the Titans, and (a little) more on this show.

Joel Radio #35: Vanilla Gorilla
Mar 18th
After last week’s doom and gloom, it’s back to fun time on Joel Radio! What could be more fun than Tiger Woods’ dirty text messages? His porn star ex-lover posted a bunch of them on the web, and Joel has the full list and analysis. Find out how long Tiger’s “sessions” last, and what he really likes in bed. Bring a friend to listen, Tiger would! And Jesse James cheats on Sandra Bullock, which proves that a body full of shitty tattoos is better than an Oscar. Also, Joel’s (actually Upchuck’s) interview with hilarious web video artiste extraordinaire, Scott Gairdner. Scott’s not a Juggalo, but might be now. Plus, Joel’s brush with “tween” TV fame – look out Zack and Cody!

Joel Radio #34: Drugs, Alcohol, Death, Kitties
Mar 11th
To the surprise of almost no one, another child star is dead at a young age. This time it’s Corey Haim, who was one of 103 child stars named Corey in the 1980s. Joel examines the phenomenon of why child stars go bad, and how drug-related deaths of celebrities are treated by the media. Follow the long history of excuses and cover-ups to discover the only few “true” drug ODs in history. Its actually sad to hear the same excuses over and over, and not understand why these deaths are actually happening. Later, Joel reviews the 2009 Oscar ceremony. It was boring and, in hindsight, predictable. Joel thinks The Hurt Locker is overrated, and he’s got his stats to prove it! Find out the history of War movies at the Oscars, and hear why the “Hurt Locker Ass Kiss Spectacular” will likely go down as a black mark in showbiz history. Plus, the Oscar prognosticators’ results are in, and can Joel’s cat sleep through an entire show?

Joel Radio #33: Jaw Dropping
Mar 4th
It’s a huge week at JoelRadio, so let’s bring back a (ahem) huge guest in Corey Hall. There’s so much to talk about as the Winter Olympics wrap-up, Alice in Wonderland debuts, Jay Leno returns to late-night, and the Oscar race concludes. But the biggest news of the week was the appearance of legendary movie critic Roger Ebert on the Oprah Winfrey show this week. Surviving cancer has left Roger unable to eat, drink or speak, with no lower jaw, lower mouth or tongue. It’s a sight more graphic than anything in The Crazies (reviewed this week!), yet sad and inspirational at the same time. In fact, some brainiacs figured out they build Roger a “voice” from his previous DVD commentaries and TV appearances. Thankfully, Corey and Joel’s years of podcasting should have them covered in such a tragic event, so whatever genius listening to this (Nils!), get working on it! Also, The Marriage Ref debuts, does Seinfeld strike out? Plus, Shutter Island sucks, the history of Mountain Dew, and the funniest thing ever – the secret life of gay Siskel and Ebert (not true, but really funny).

Joel Radio #32: Right On Her Ass
Feb 18th
It’s Olympic Season again, you got the fever yet? Yeah, well go get that looked at – it won’t clear up on its own. Seriously though, Joel has watched some of the coverage, and found nothing more entertaining than this. Except this – a ski run so completely inept, that Joel is moved enough to fly to Vancouver just to show a trained Olympian how to stay upright for more than six seconds. It’s really incredibly sad, yet entertaining, to see such an epic failure on such a big stage. Thank you Marion Rolland, thank you France. Thank you, thank you. Also, Kevin Smith is too fat to fly, but not honest enough tell you the whole story – thankfully Joel is here for that. Plus, Amazing Race and Survivor return, and Steve Sabo picks UFC 110, and there’s some tough fights to call. One fight will decide the overall lead!

Joel Radio #31: The Guest From Hell
Feb 4th
Secretly, Joel recently became a reluctant rap music producer, taking a shot at recording MC Sampler’s new single, “Change That’s Loose”. Of course, MC Sampler (aka Harry) has since moved on from his services as producer, but you can hear the results of the collaboration on this show. Turns out Joel was no Disco D, but is the end result a hit or a miss on the comedy/rap chart? Listen and decide. Also, more great YouTube stuff, like The Shming, 60s cartoon themes and the “S From Hell”! Plus, MyDeathSpace, Oscar and UFC predictions and much more.

Joel Radio #30: The Corey and Jay Radio Show
Jan 28th
Jay Leno finally decided to do his first “sit down” interview about the late night debacle. And even though Oprah Winfrey was chosen as the host for said interview, Corey Hall found the event worthy enough to sit in on the playback. Listen as Jay weasels his way around various question concerning Conan’s ratings, Jimmy Kimmel’s insults, and how he loves the make-up guys. If you thought Jay was a douche before, just listen to this! Also, Joel and Corey have the full re-cap of Conan’s last week, and why Jay’s show may never be the same. Plus, Joel’s memories of attending Conan’s show, The iPad debuts to a collective shrug, and the biggest bombs in TV history dissected. It’s a fun, fast, 90-minute must-listen show. Enjoy!

Joel Radio #29: Purple and Gold
Jan 22nd
A day late, but remember it’s free! Joel previews the NFL Championship games and listens to the Prince-penned, Vikings “fight” song, Purple and Gold. Just when you though it impossible to make a crappier song, Joel improvs his own lyrics, making an an atrocity into a full-blown Haiti-esque disaster. Listen at your own peril! Plus, the latest with Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno, Jerry Mathers looks weird, Golden Globes thoughts, and the wildest movie screenings of all time – coming to a theater near you.

Joel Radio #28: Don’t Lick The Beaters
Jan 14th
On this show, Joel welcomes in 2010 by telling you all about his recent illness, the embarrassing way in which he got it, and how you can avoid it. The upside of extreme weight loss was no match for the feverish shaking, frequent trips to the bathroom and disgusting remedies that the recovery called for. It’s a cautionary tale of a fat man’s indulgences that nearly killed him, and was one of the worst 10-day periods in Joel’s life. But it still might be better than how NBC has treated Conan O’Brien of late. Seems Coco is getting the shaft by NBC, and despite his visual support of the funnyman, Joel believes NBC might be doing the right thing by re-hiring Jay Leno for 11:30. The full breakdown, including why David Letterman’s penis might be to blame for Conan’s sacking! Really! You must listen! Plus, Simon Cowell leaves American Idol, and the press misses the huge potential ramification for crappy music everywhere.

Joel Radio #27: Making His List
Dec 31st
In the spirit of the season, Joel Radio proudly welcomes back it’s resident Grinch in the form of movie critic and comedian Corey Hall. Corey was inspired by Joel’s list of “Biggest Assholes of 2009” from a few weeks back, and has come to announce his own list. It’s quite a list, too, as Corey’s got plenty of venom for crooked politicians, sleazy bankers, and humorless comics. And Corey’s GF can be happy, as there’s more than one philanderer on the list – family values are alive in 2009! Also, Joel and Corey’s list of best and worst films of 2009, including discussions of Avatar, Up In The Air, the glut of animated fare, and much more. Plus, find out why Joel’s list of a-holes almost got amended to include last year’s YouTube phenomenon, and it’s not Susan Boyle (or her mustache).
