Joel Radio #111: Everybody’s Heard Enough

Jul 25th

Posted by joel in Shows

This week’s Joel Radio hits of a variety of topics with guests Corey Hall and John Tenney. And with The Conjuring being the #1 movie in the country, paranormal researcher Tenney is an expert guest. Of course, none of the three guys on the panel thought the film was any good, either as a haunted house thrill ride or a fictionalized historical retelling. Also, Joel defines what a “comedy show” is, why many open mikes don’t meet the definition, and why John is, by definition a monologist and not a comedian. Plus, The “Pixar Theory” is complete bullshit – the Ferris Bueller Theory is much more interesting, Joel steps up to save the new Newlywed Game, and the Morton Downey Jr. documentary is a must-see. But lastly and perhaps most importantly, MC Sampler continues his media tour after show #110, getting savaged in a Detroit-centric blog, and most hilariously guesting on a local political talk show within days of Detroit’s historic bankruptcy. Hear Sampler’s ridiculous shout-outs to Joel and Tenney while the hosts lose their minds trying to get the wack rapper off the show. It’s comedy gold, and even if you didn’t like Sampler before, this clip just might make you a fan.

This week MC Sampler returns to promote his new song and video. If you’re still reading this, there’s actually a lot to like on this show as Sampler doesn’t come in until the second hour, and there’s lots of good stuff in the first half with Corey and Joel. Like Joel’s second “big announcement”, a discussion of the idiocy of Paula Deen and her critics, the future of videogames, and most importantly a dissection of Wendy’s new pretzel bun burgers – a treat that will be oft enjoyed by one host and never purchased again by another. Then comes MC Sampler to promote his new song, “Fuck U Detroit”. While Harry (MC Sampler) has been on the show before to promote things, this time he’s got some really talented people helping him, like his video director Ryan, who joins the show to talk about the challenges of working with Harry, his expectations for the video, and his secret deal for Sampler’s retirement should the video fail. Joel and Corey add their own critique, including compliments for the track, ways for Sampler to get more hits for his projects and the possibility of expanding the “Fuck U” concept to other cities and people. MC Sampler may not be your favorite guest, but it’s a fun, fascinating discussion with a comedy one hit wonder who’s looking for his next big break.
