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.

Joel Radio #10: Dog Eats
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. Via telephone, Corey actually offers up a different nerd-jerkoff fantasy, in web video vixen Felicia Day. Who’s hotter and what’s the verdict on Inglorious Basterds and District 9? 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. Plus, Big Brother gets wild and dirty, the Death Pool gets exciting, and meet your new favorite rapper, The Doughmaster.

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. Plus, a Death Pool update: Corey makes a deal with the devil and actually decides who lives and dies – scary!

A brief, and not terribly insightful trip to the Gathering by Derek Erdman, is captured in the video below. Whether he liked it or not, at least he went to see for himself
No show this week, here’s why…….
Aug 3rd
This week, I’m off once again to perform at the Gathering of the Juggalos in southern Illinois. Because I’m leaving early in the week there’s no time to produce a show, but if you haven’t listened to last week’s show with the return of Corey, it’s a must-listen, so check that out. That also means no UFC 101 picks with Steve Sabo, but we’ll be back at it for UFC 102.
Also, watch the Gathering “infomercial” below. You’ll get a feel for what this crazy event is (I’m in the video for a second), and you’ll see that I’ll have some great stories for next week’s show. It’s a bit of a viral hit on the web already, too. It’s worth the 14 minutes, trust me!
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.

Joel Radio #7: Erin & The Eel Man
Jul 23rd
Returning from his previous appearances on Corey and Joel Radio and The Funhouse, Harry Artin stops by to join Joel for 60 minutes of radio fun. Harry has left New York City for good and is proud to be in Michigan – a place he loves as much for its sub shops as well as its booming economy. Harry details his appearances on Jerry Springer, The Anna Nicole Show, and MTV and unveils his plan to return to stand-up comedy, a career he previously left “like a bat out of hell”. Also, somebody shot ESPN’s Erin Andrews naked (and it wasn’t Joel), the dumb blonde on Big Brother is just that, and Corey Hall joins in on the phone discussing Harry’s managerial prowess, or lack thereof.

Joel Radio #6: Houseful of Beige
Jul 16th
After solving the David Carradine case back on Show #2, Detective Joel returns to put his spin on the Michael Jackson case. Actually, Joel doesn’t know what the hell happened, but lays out the possible case for murder and explains why he’s not setting up an appointment with Dr. Conrad Murray anytime soon. Also, Big Brother returns and it’s as stupid as ever. That’s good news for Joel, and even though he’d end up in the “Brains” clique, he’s not smart enough to figure out the ethnicity or even the sex of some of the houseguests. Plus, UFC clairvoyance and controversy, and the best videogames of this generation – the “cheapskate Joel” Top 5.
