It’s a massive catch-up episode of Joel Radio as Corey Hall returns to help Joel interview legendary Michigan comedian Norm Stulz backstage at the Comedy Castle, critique the new Dave Chappelle special and all the ensuing controversy, and possibly sell an organ. Norm tells some great stories and gives some great advice – young comedians, this is for you! And you’ll learn something about Dave Chappelle’s special, too. It’s good, but it’s just jokes. Everyone calm down. Plus, Joel shames Corey over not watching The Boys, the guys tell you which Amazing Johnathan documentary is the best, the boomer music movies get ranked, the new GLOW season stinks and much more.
Dave Chappelle, Norm and what is definitely not Corey’s organ
Joel is blown away by the response of the last episode and has some updates on the whole Roseanne Barr fiasco. Hear about his resistance to go national with the story and how his radio home in Detroit has picked up on the story. He’s joined by Corey Hall and Bill Hildebrandt, the latter back from a comedian’s picnic that the other guys didn’t attend. Why do the “young” comics not hang out with the “old” ones? Why are there open mikes on weekend nights and why do veteran comics not like that? Those important questions get answered on this show. Also, one of the two Amazing Johnathan documentaries gets screened – maybe this wasn’t the “good” one? Plus, Corey’s sushi date, Swamp Thing gets cancelled, Joel tells you the best thing he’s watched all year, Dead To Me is for girls, reviews of Rocketman and Dark Phoenix, too.
Too many clubs. Even on the weekend. Don’t be that guy.
Joel and Corey Hall have some big shows coming up as Corey appears with The Amazing Johnathan, and Joel opens for Roseanne Barr. Hear about Joel’s preparations and the wacky open mikes he’s doing to get ready for this big show. He also considers the controversy around Roseanne, takes advice from other comics and thinks it’s ultimately a good opportunity. Is he right? Listen to find out. Also, the usually funny Nick DiPaolo is controversial for something really dumb but the guys aren’t surprised. Plus, Chewbacca actor Peter Mahew dies, The Act on Hulu brings back the 90’s hottest actresses as frumpy moms, Long Shot is better than you’d think, more Avengers fallout, and The Dark Side of the Ring is the true crime take on wrestling that you’ve been waiting for.
