Joel Radio #16: Holy Roman
Oct 1st
A long-time friend and collaborator, comedian Steve Brewer makes his Joel Radio debut. And it’s a good week for it, too, as director Roman Polanski went and got himself arrested in Europe and may have to return to face the music in the US. Even though most of Hollywood wants to forgive him, Joel reiterates the facts of the case and how what Polaski did to a 13-year-old girl can only be described as a “rape, rape” – sorry Whoopi. Also, Steve announces his retirement from The Funhouse, why he won’t work for Psychopathic Records anymore and the challenge in entertaining the Juggalos. Plus, the CBS sitcom debate heats up as a fan agrees with Joel on How I Met Your Mother, while Brewer beds with Corey on The Big Bang Theory. Who’s right, and who’s wrong? Listen and decide.

Joel Radio #15: Who’s That Broad?
Sep 24th
After Leno’s big debut last week, it’s time for the actual funny comedies to hit the air, and Joel has a rundown of this Fall’s best. Is NBC’s Thursday night the place to be, or does HBO have the market cornered on edgy sitcoms? Cory Hall even joins in via telephone to tell the world why The Office has slipped, Community deserves a chance and there’s a CBS sitcom that’s really good, and it’s not How I Met Your Mother. Does Bored to Death live up to its title? Is Parks and Recreation surviving the sophmore slump? Listen to find out – you might be surprised. Plus, former show bashees chime in via email including podcaster admitting he sucks, and a mother-in-law basing comedienne that Joel’s great.

Joel Radio #14: F.U.J.
Sep 18th
A moment we had all looked forward to (or feared) took place this week, as the the new Jay Leno Show premiered on NBC. Whether seen as a savior of NBC, or a backstabber to Conan, Jay’s debut has garnered strong opinions from many, including writer and former podcasting superstar Corey Hall. Corey gets out of his rocking chair to explain why Jay’s return is bad for TV, why he hates Taylor Swift, and why he still hasn’t seen The Hangover. Listen as Joel plays all the “highlights” of Jay’s first show, including Jerry Seinfeld scoring big, The Dan Band overexposed and Kanye West actually out-douching Jay. Plus, Steve Sabo leaves the road to predict UFC 103, Joel’s Beatles acquisitions make him a happy man, and Patrick Swayze dies alongside Joel’s hopes for winning the Death Pool.

Joel Radio #13: Banging the Butter Cow
Sep 10th
So the Michigan State Fair is gone – maybe forever – but Joel Radio has you covered and Joel and guest Harry Artin are here with all you need to know. Like Harry’s crazy. Maybe you knew that, but his performance at the State Fair was nothing short of extraordinary. Feeding lemonade to the livestock? Check. Eating a disgusting amount of corn on the cob? Check. Receiving oral favors from a calf made entirely of butter? Check. You must hear this show, as Harry describes his wild behavior, discusses his future plans with a butter teat, and why he won’t eat that much corn anymore. Plus, the guys see Billy Squier perform at the fair, and even five days later he’s still probably playing a guitar solo. We discuss the the highs and lows of the show and pinpoint exactly when Billy’s career went teats up. Also, “Beatles Day” arrives and Joel was too greedy to really enjoy it. Find out Joel’s painful dilemma, get a full review of Rock Band: The Beatles, and much, much more on this crazy show.

Joel Radio #12: Day Stripper
Sep 3rd
It’s well know n that magazines are in trouble nowadays. And if you read the latest issue of Rolling Stone, you’ll know why. With a half-hearted Beatles cover story, and lamest, most questionable review section around its no wonder why this issue is almost certainly Joel’s last. Plus, another magazine gets it right on reality TV, a not terribly sad nor sorrowful goodbye to DJ AM, Joel’s song parody career begins, and a recap of UFC 102 predictions – a segment that will in the future be known as Joel’s magical money-making machine.

Joel Radio #11: Ted is Dead
Aug 27th
It’s sad when famous people die. But, if you chose them in this years Death Pool, then it can really soften the blow! Actually, Joel takes a few moments to remember all the highlights of Sen. Ted Kennedy’s life – driving a girl off a bridge, getting drunk on an overseas flight, banging a chick in a restaurant, etc, etc. Who’s gonna take up the slack when it comes to drinking and carousing? It’s a sad, scotch stinking tribute that only an Irishman could love. Then, Joel turns his sights to a world of comedy, where a comedienne is being sued for telling jokes about her in-laws. Seriously. But does she deserve it? Al Roker has an interview, but listen close, as the case may not be all it’s cracked up to be. What’s with the math jokes, Al? WTF? Plus, Steve Sabo’s thoughts on UFC 102, Joel meets Ken Shamrock, and Swedish + Black = comedy.

Aug 20th
As the summer movie season winds down, a few questions have to be asked. Like how much does the third act of Funny People suck?; and how much Joel and former co-host Corey would like to jump on Aubrey Plaza.

Corey has the scoop. Also, Harry stops by with his super-pug Sheshy, and the comedy that ensues when the dog gets near snack food must be heard to be believed.

Joel Radio #9: Pauly Touched Me
Aug 13th
Back and less that 100%, Joel gives his thoughts on the 2009 Gathering of the Juggalos. It will always be remembered as the weekend Joel was felt up by Pauly Shore. Was it a gay pass or just Pauly being funny? Was it funnier than his actual, abbreviated set? Listen and find out. Also, the Gathering has no-shows, GWAR is goofing, Vanilla Ice is a thief, MC Chris is fresh, and hipster journos can’t even goof on the Juggalos correctly.

Joel Radio #8: F, Marry, Kill
Jul 30th
Q. What could possibly bring Corey Hall back to the world of podcasting? A. FOX TV’s new fat girl dating show “More to Love“. Corey and Joel rundown the twenty female contestants on the new, fatter version of “The Bachelor”, rating each girl on the “F, marry, kill” scale – that being who’s good enough for the one-night stand, who you’d consider making your wife, and who you’d rather do their tax return rather than actually make out with. It’s a surprising survey, done in the most hilarious, mean-spirited way. Find out how many of these chubbies the guys would actually take out for a pizza – the number might surprise you! It’s classic Corey and Joel, back for this week only. Also, Anthony Bourdain visits Detroit (it’s better than Baltimore!), Professor Gates is a noodnik, and the real reason Corey left the show is finally revealed.
