Joel Radio #106: Close The Mike
May 1st
On this show you’ll hear the comedy debut of show friend Rob Rose. While Joel believes no one’s first attempt at stand-up comedy is indicative of any future success or failure, it is safe to say that Rob’s debut is highly entertaining for all the wrong reasons. Listen as you’ll hear the several-month-old recording of Rob drunkenly stumbling through a set that includes a potentially offensive (yet hilarious) opening line, references to comedy “greats” from the past (Judy Tenuta!) and crowd work so inept it might be described as the comedian heckling the audience. Still, when you consider the nearly empty room, the inebriation of the performer, the lack of preparation and the assholery of Joel and Corey in the audience, it all adds up to an extremely entertaining good time. Besides, Rob is a good sport and he gets more serious comedy advice from Joel and Corey in the studio including lessons learned from the greats (like Dave Attell), like how to make your comedy sound natural, how to deal with success and failure and how to not look like an open miker on Facebook. It’s good solid comedy advice, after some well-deserved ball-busting on this show. Also, Corey reviews Iron Man 3 which leads into a summer movie preview including end of the world movies that look alike, a return for Superman, and why everyone claims to love The Lone Ranger, even though almost nobody seen it. Plus, reaction to the Boston bombing, podcasts the guys like, and why, after several months, it must be said that the Doritos tacos have failed – sorry Taco Bell.

Joel Radio #101: On Top of the Pickle Barrel
Feb 6th
It’s been a very long time since comedian Bill Bushart joined the show, but it was worth the wait as he joins Joel and Corey for a 100+ minutes of yuks. Topic #1 is a discussion of the current state of stand-up comedy, how it’s changed over the years, and the guys’ advice for new comics. Joel tells you how to bomb with grace (or Grace), Bill talks the art of teaching comedy, and Corey regrets never cashing in on an open mike windfall. Also, the guys also attempt to tell road sex stories, only to figure out all the good stories happened to someone else. But, however, you’ll find out who’s done what (and where) in their private lives, like who was in the nun’s bed, who got their parent’s approval for a girlfriend sleep over, and what awful things were going on at the bagel shop. Plus, why you should always take a girl to the strip club, a Facebook stalker gone public, and why Joel can’t wait for Bill to throw another party.

Bill Bushart is such a good stand-up, he squats sometimes
Joel Radio #93: We Can Kirk It Out
Oct 12th
This week’s guest has taken time out from Detroit’s open mike scene, rambling about the Detroit Tigers on Facebook, and making little-seen YouTube videos to join Joel and Corey on the show. Kirk is an original thinker with big plans in show business, and if he can survive 90 minutes here, he’ll probably do just fine in Hollywood. The guys discuss podcasting’s history and Joel and Corey’s place in it, why Corey is sick of horror movies and Kirk’s plans to move to L.A.. Also, the Hulk Hogan sex tape is driving Hulkamaniacs Corey and Kirk wild, but Joel, the show’s pro-wrestling insider, thinks the whole thing is a cheap stunt and offers up evidence why. Plus, Kevin James’s new movie makes no-one smile except Henry Winkler – who got paid for it.

Kirk’s actual business card. Not sure if business is good or not
Joel Radio #89: Live From Showbiz Pizza
Jul 26th
The agenda wasn’t that long for this week’s Joel Radio. Joel and Corey thought the shooting in Aurora, Colorado would be the main focus of the show – and they did get to it eventually – but there was too much other, funnier nonsense going on. Like the couple, who Joel and Corey both know well, who posted simultaneous Facebook status updates declaring themselves “single”. Who does that? Was an airplane banner over New York City too subtle? The guys try and figure out if the whole thing is a “work” (IE fake), or if their just a couple of wannabe celebrity drama queens. Also, Chuck E. Cheese vs Showbiz Pizza in a battle of old-school money sucks from childhood. Corey knows way too much about the Showbiz Pizza band and Joel explains why Chuck E’s not the place it used to be. Plus, the Dark Knight Rises to varying opinions from the hosts, Corey’s Bachelor party is still a secret but it won’t have coordinated shirts, RIP George Jefferson, mandatory L.A. time for America’s gays, and the guys lay down a new assignment for the fans – the Frank Zappa challenge.
