Joel Radio #83: The Avengers of Podcasting
Apr 27th
This week, Corey Hall gives his review of The Avengers, a movie so long in the making that the twelve-year-olds who really wanted to see this movie are now in their mid-thirties. Still, Corey is enthusiastic, while Joel feels that the general public isn’t really feeling this film, but it’ll make $200 million on opening weekend and about three-hundred bucks after that. Speaking of juvenile movies, the guys see Aardman’s Pirate movie (it’s OK), and Joel thinks Disney’s Chimpanzee is a collision of state-of-the-art visuals and cliched animated film narration – a near miss at a classic. Also, Dick Clark finally dies, Levon Helm sadly dies, and Mike Wallce dies as he lived – an asshole. Plus, HBO’s Girls is not for guys, Corey suffers through Law & Order, and Joel finally sees Bruce Springsteen after a twenty-five year wait.

Jan 3rd
Everyone’s favorite feature is back, it’s the Death Pool draft for 2008! And this year, Joel didn’t mess up the recording. There’s a new panel too, with announcer Rob Rose, comic Tim Walsh and Corey’s goomah, Amy. Hear them pick which celebrities are going to die in 2008. Hear the hilarity as Tim picks someone already dead – or is she? How many pro wrestlers get picked? Does Corey hold on to Dick Clark for another year? Does Soupy Sales’ vim and vigor taunt Joel in the middle of the night? Are there any other old First Ladies for Amy to pick? It’s sixteen rounds of mean-spirited strategy, fun and laughter. Also, sign up for the mailing list to get an additional thirty minutes of show with the last five rounds of draft and lots of funny analysis – a must listen.

Official 2009 Fan Death Pool Draft Rules
Jan 6th
Rules for The Corey and Joel Radio Show Fan Death Pool 2009
– This may seem complicated, but it’s really not. We’re just trying to make it as close to the Death Pool we do on the show. Here’s a link to the Official Fans’ Death Pool list from 2008:

And the 2009 studio draft results:

And to listen to this year’s in-studio draft show here:
http://www.coreyandjoelradio.com/Podcasts/coreyandjoelshow203.mp3
– Choose AT LEAST 30 celebrities (a celebrity will be defined below). Rank them in order from 1 – 30 (or however many you choose) based on the order that you feel they are most likely to die, with #1 being the most likely. You should choose at least 30 but can include more if you want, but please no more than 1 full typed page. You MUST assign everyone a rank to every celebrity that is on your list. The number of players on your final official list (as determined by the draft) will be 20 or possibly lower depending on how many people enter. You need not list the ages of the celebrities, we will look that up for you. IF YOU ENTERED IN 2008 YOU MAY KEEP UP TO THREE NAMES FROM LAST YEAR’S LIST. Just list them in the top 3 spots on your list and put an asterisk (*) next to their name to indicate a keeper pick. You can keep only 1 or 2 names if you want as well. You will forgo an opening round of the draft for every keeper you keep. Therefore if you keep 3 names your first “new” pick will be in round four.
– A celebrity, for our purposes, will be someone who’s death will be reported as news on a national level in the United States. This disqualifies anyone famous elsewhere, like foreign heads of state,
unless they’re famous worldwide like Tony Blair, Putin, etc. This would also disqualify most foreign sports stars, actors, singers, and TV personalities who are not famous in the US. You MAY NOT choose anyone who is sentenced to or awaiting execution. You may choose those who are wanted dead, but not captured like Osama bin Laden. Prisoners sentenced to life in prison are acceptable picks such as Charles Manson or Scott Peterson. Celebrities’ spouses, parents and children are generally not acceptable as celebs, unless they’re famous on their own like Dana Reeve or Earl Woods.
– We will randomly draw names to select the draft order. If you are first, then you guarantee that you get the 1st name on your list. If, for example, 2 people pick Dick Clark as their #1 choice, the person
drafting first gets Dick Clark and the second person would get their #2 pick (or whomever is the next available). No two players will have the same celebrity on their final list (as determined by the draft), so this why ranking is very important!
– The points system is subtracting the celebrity’s age at their death from 100. For example, Gerald Ford was 93 at hit his death (in 2006), 100-93=7, so Ford netted Corey 7 points. The highest point total at the end of the year wins. In the event of a tie, there will be co-winners. It is too hard to agree on a tie-breaker – youngest death? Number of deaths? Highest draft picks?
– Send you entries in to us at the regular email address of email@coreyandjoelradio.com. If you want to send in your list as an attachment, that is OK but please use a .txt format.
– Send your entries in NO LATER than noon EST on January 14, 2009. No celebrity death will be counted in the fan Death Pool unless it occurs after January 14th 2009. We know some people may die before January 14th, but that’s the only fair way to do it.
– You may pick celebrity on any of our lists on the show from any year we’ve done it, or even after you hear the 09 show.
– The contest is open to anyone in the world that wants to play, not necessarily our fans or mailing list subscribers. So yeah, your mom can play or friends at the office or whatever.
– The prize for first place is fuck all except bragging rights, tons of mentions on the show, and who knows what else.
– Make sure to include your name and email addy on the list itself, too! Here’s brief sample list:
Joel Fragomeni’s (joel@joelthecomic.com)
Death Pool list:
1. Dick Clark
2. Osama bin Laden
3. Jerry Lewis
4. Larry King
5. Mike Tyson
6. Nancy Reagan

Happy morbid New Year and thanks for listening,

Corey and Joel Radio Show #101: James Brown’s Revenge
Jan 4th
It should have been the greatest day in Corey and Joel Radio history. The guys and an all-star panel of comedians gathered to indulge in the annual Death Pool for 2007. For nearly 80 minutes, barbs and one-liners were exchanged. Death was predicted for America’s famous senior citizens and a good time was had by all. It was so fun the show spilled into a near 30-minute bonus feature, equally funny and engaging. Then tragedy struck. Joel, the show’s techie, made one click too many and the whole thing disappeared into the ether. A recovery was attempted, a file was repaired, yet the damage was too much. The Death Pool as we know it was gone. What was recovered can be heard with this link, but be warned – while it is listenable at times, it’s often less comprehendable than Dick Clark.
As a make-up, the guys put together a replacement show using the pristine bonus feature, with the final four draft rounds, as its core and recorded new wrap-arounds describing the whole fiasco. There’s even a sample of the restored show in there, too, if you want to listen before you try the original. Maybe that’s what you get when you wish death upon people. Maybe Joel’s just an idiot. Maybe a little of both. Get the new show and download the official list below. Also send in your fan Death Pool selections to us here. Just follow these instructions on the forum. Feel free to select Joel in your list.
We’re sorry.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #91: We Talk About Broads
Oct 19th
It’s a special occasion when our announcer Rob Rose can actually sit in on the show, but this is it. Rob and the guys discuss the Death Pool, as Joel cashed in recently with Freddy Fender. Corey speculates on what it’s going to take for him to win – a bomb at the Friars Club would do it – and what apparatus is keeping Dick Clark upright these days. We also get you caught up on Fantasy Football where Rob dominates and Joel is his greatest challenger. The second half is dominated by a fresh round of promo recordings for various other shows. Corey seems to hate every other show and lets the other hosts know. Joel prefers some tact, and just wants to be funny and promote the show. The ensuing argument, with Rob in the middle, is an all time classic. Is Corey the King of Dickville? Is Joel too soft on his competeters? Where the hell is Mulberry? All the answers are here.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #49: A Dip in the Death Pool
Jan 4th
Kick off 2006 with a new edition of the Corey and Joel Death Pool. The game where we guess about which famous people will croak in the upcoming year. It’s an all-star panel, too. Laugh along with comedian Bill Bushart, show attorney Nigel Rosenblum and Joel’s lady, Kim, as they make their picks. Who will Joel and Corey keep from their 2005 list? Who loves old First Ladies, and who thinks Tiger Woods’ dad is a celebrity? It’s a sick, evil and just plan wrong show, folks, so be warned. And yes, we do have tape of Dick Clark on New Year’s Eve.
