Corey and Joel Radio Show #214: DICF 2009 – Best of Detroit
Mar 25th
It’s the second night of coverage from The Detroit International Comedy Festival at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle in Royal Oak, MI. It’s a night of old friends and some new ones, like comedy legend Geechy Guy. Geechy is best known for his amazing string of victories on the original Star Search and multiple appearances with Jay Leno. And, while Corey and Joel didn’t know it, he’s also a Detroit native. Listen as Geechy recounts his start in comedy, his celebrity run-ins on The Tonight Show, and his current project a two-man show with another C&J friend. Also, Dave Bell must have sense humor with his current day job; Keith Lenart gets bumped for a bigger star, but at least he’s big in Beloit; Mike Bobbitt makes up with Joel; Bob Phillips makes bombs, but not on stage; Brian Kalackie is still not rich despite Joel’s bead endorsement; and comic Dave Dyer and festival co-organizer Kevin Wheeler get invaded by the two-headed monster known as Jodi and Jamie. Plus, show fave Bill Hildebrandt is back on dry land, and Mike Bonner makes an appearance, too.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #213: DICF 2009 – Best of the East Coast
Mar 18th
It’s Corey and Joel live (almost) from The Detroit International Comedy Festival 2009 at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle in Royal Oak, MI. This being the “Best of the East Coast” night the guys have lots of new comedians and friends to chat with, and some old friends, too. Actor Matt Servitto, a Detroit native and Sopranos co-star stops by to chat about his time on “the show”, reminisce about the old neighborhood and tells Joel to never, ever wear Mardi Gras beads again. A real Italian should know better, right? There’s lots of laughs with the comics, too, as DC’s Clay Miles talks fast-food with Corey; Jason Marcus exposes rental car rip-offs and web-porn gross-outs; Peter Bowers brings an English flair, but says the Beatles weren’t funny; Selena Coppock hates improv (yea!); Steve Macone may or may not have a website; The Showoff Show juggles headbands, chainsaws and early-morning flights; and NYC’s JL Cauvin justs wants you to come see him at Caroline’s. There’s some Detroit flavor, too, as Martin Butler triumphs at a recent show, Ben Konstantin prepares to rock the festival again and Steve Bills refuses to let stand-up cut into his eBay time.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #212: Funny For Free
Mar 12th
Most comedians aren’t rich. They work for little money most of the time, and sometimes even perform for free. Then there’s Jay Leno, who’s actually a rich comedian – and he’s performing for free, in Detroit anyway. It seems Leno wants to do a free show in Detroit to pay back the unemployed auto workers for their hard work assembling the vehicles that now sit in Jay’s massive car collection in L.A. It’s a nice gesture, but Detroit’s long history of racial politics is getting in the way and Corey breaks down the whole ridiculous history of the Detroit city council, the suburbs vs the city feud and how it’s amazing that black people are now claiming to be Jay Leno fans. Later, comedian Mike Green calls in. Mike’s attempting to get comedians (who aren’t Leno) to stick together to get better treatment from club owners and bookers, only to have some guys roll over and accept the peanuts they’re thrown. Should Joel join the cause? Listen and make up your own mind. Also, Dancing With the Stars vs American Idol – what’s more gay?, Corey’s movie roundup and much more in this jam-packed show.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #211: Fallon Flops
Mar 5th
As he says on show #211, Joel has 36 years of television experience – well, watching TV anyway. So who better to judge the late night debut of Jimmy Fallon’s new talk show on NBC. Joel gives his prediction of when the show will end its run on NBC, while Corey isn’t offended as as he has been by 17 years of Jay Leno. Hear the guys ultimate predictions for the latest round of late night wars, why Corey loves Craig Ferguson, and why no one believes Jimmy Kimmel’s Uncle Frank is really that stupid. Also, Corey reviews the latest comic book would-be blockbuster, Watchmen, and show legend Nadia calls in with her newest drunken, rock & roll, lesbian story and explains why Corey is coughing through the entire show. NSFW, but it never is!

Corey and Joel Radio Show #210: Scientific & Testicle
Feb 26th
The show takes a giant leap forward on show #210 as the guys welcome their first live phone calls ever on the show. First up is show fave Steve Brewer, discussing a recent potential career breakthrough and congratulating Joel on purchasing a new phone. Later, it’s a full Oscar recap with Corey and Joel’s pick-the-winner contest revealed, the full suckdom of Hugh Jackman discussed, and why foreigners always make for good comedy. Plus, a secret second caller is pissed about the Oscars, high school crime gets ridiculous, and Jocks vs Geeks – it never ends – even when you’re 96.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #209: You Still Suck
Feb 19th
After a truncated show #208, the guys return with the longest show ever. You could call it the longest winded show ever, too, as Corey and Joel pick every Oscar winner for 2009. That’s right, you get to hear some “Best Sound Mixing” prognostication on this show. Aren’t you glad podcasts are free? Speaking of podcasts, it’s trip back to 2005, as the guys revisit some of their favorite (and least favorite) podcasters to see how they’re doing in 2009. Seems some are still hanging around, some have done well, and others have vanished into the ether. Hear why Corey and Joel’s predictions of podcasting’s future were pretty much dead-on, why podcasting has both succeeded and failed and why Air Ferg still isn’t funny. Actually, there’s no answer for the last one – sorry, Ferg. And wrap the whole thing up with another pointless political discussion and you get the longest show ever. Enjoy if you can.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #207: The Third Dimension
Feb 5th
Every few years Hollywood decides 3-D is poised for a comeback, and touts a “new, better” version of the technology, which has been seen by most as a gimmick. After viewing this years Super Bowl commercials, and a 3-D episode of Chuck on NBC, Corey and Joel are here to say that the technology is back and as bad as ever. Not that there hasn’t been fun 3-D stuff lately (like Beowulf), but from the “where to get the glasses” snafu to an inability to properly ogle the hot blonde from Chuck with the glasses on, this experience was pretty painful. Just as painful were the results of one hosts Super Bowl Bets. While not a complete blowout, one host is swearing off the betting line in the future and you’ll hear why. Also, the full Super Sunday commercial rundown, someone hates Springsteen, Nils sings Mickey Avalon and Superman Returns still sucks.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #206: Six Bucks a Day
Jan 29th
Radio programmers take note – if you’re looking for cheap talent, try The Corey and Joel Radio Show. While the other half drives a hard bargain, Joel will gladly render his comedic services on the cheap. And with the recent rash of radio talent cuts and firings, why not hire the guys who’ve been giving it away for almost four years? In addition to discussing the sorry state of commercial radio, the guys do their annual Super Bowl betting. There’s a total of $20 up for grabs as one host likes Pittsburgh and the other Arizona, while neither likes Jesus as much as Kurt Warner. Also, the Obamas get kinky, Jessica Simpson gets fat, Playboy magazine sucks, and Corey’s embarrassing yet lucrative local TV past.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #205: Barack Sings Brooks
Jan 22nd
This week that a new president was sworn in. The airwaves were saturated with the sights and sounds of Washington D.C., yet all Corey wants to do is talk about American Idol. Joel hates the show and reminds him that there was plenty of bad music to celebrate Obama’s triumph in the form of a concert from the Lincoln Memorial. The highlights: watching the Prez sing along with Garth Brooks, watching a bored VIP child sleep, and seeing if U2 are really as old as Pete Seeger. Also, the Fan Death Pool is now official, and hear how one one fan screwed it up while another hilariously challenges a ruling via the Douchebag Hotline. Plus, West Virginia sucks, why Robert Byrd collapsed, and gay sex – not just for the gays anymore.
