Joel Radio #225: Royal Woke
Aug 3rd
Do comedians regret their comedy bits? Sure. Sometimes. That is the finding of a New York Magazine article and that sentiment is shared by Joel and Corey Hall on this show. Not that the hosts object to what they’ve done on moral grounds – Joel just thinks it hurts the show sometimes. Hear what the famous comics had to say, Joel and Corey share the jokes they’ve dropped over the years, and why they think the PC culture of today makes so many subjects taboo. Also, gives a brief Juggalo Gathering report including the mainstream movie featuring ICP and the surprise star, Clownvis Presley. Plus, Every Day is one of the worst movies ever says Joel, the new Mission Impossible is more of the same, Corey’s “woke” movie minute, and Joel says Sharp Objects is must-see TV and HBO’s Succession is a unwatchable heap that all the cool kids like.

Every Day was a terrible movie. Needs more Juggalos
Joel Radio #199: The Oklahoma Eight
Aug 8th
On this episode, Joel recaps another Gathering of the Juggalos, including him finally getting some good press for a change. The big takeaway is probably the crime, or lack thereof, at the 2017 festival site in Oklahoma City. Joel details the eight people arrested and what they got pinched for, and compares it to recent arrests at concerts and festivals around the world. It’s an eye-opening look at what is a feared and misunderstood event and why the good people of Oklahoma couldn’t separate the truth from the hype. Joel will also tell you the worst state to drive in, how to make peace with a not-so-kind-in-the-past reporter, and why Colorado is the new Florida. Also, the movie called Detroit came out this past week and it’s not very good. Hear where the filmmakers went wrong and find out why the Detroit riots of 1967 is a story that deserved better. Plus, how to get (or not get) all the podcasts you want – just cough up some dough and download three or four apps, Corey Hall reviews The Big Sick, HBO’s Defiant Ones is worth a look, and the fans chime in on the best and worst movies of summer.

Joel Radio #132: Gathering With Gilbert
Jul 31st
It’s a huge honor for this podcast to get an exclusive interview with Gilbert Gottfried, a hero to both Joel and Corey who recently appeared at the 15th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. Listen as Gilbert complains about his backstage accommodations, sings the Thicke of the Night theme song, and waxes nostalgic about old Hollywood – much in the way he does on his terrific new podcast. Joel inquires about Jerry Lewis impersonators, Scott Baio and Jimmy Fallon, all in a delightful 12-minute conversation captured for eternity here on Joel Radio. But the Gilbert coverage doesn’t stop there, as you’ll get Joel’s blow-by-blow account of the ensuing show which involved bong hits, AFLAC ducks, and the Aristocrats. Listen for Joel’s personal highlight as the Juggalos chant “Fuck David Susskind!” to the delight of Gilbert himself – just one of many incredibly surreal and weird moments from a very memorable evening in Thornville, Ohio. Also, Joel’s new appreciation of Gilbert’s genius, the various levels his comedy works on, and why Penn Jillette is correct in calling Gilbert the Miles Davis of comedy. Plus, Jesse Ventura is both an idiot and an asshole, Guardians of the Galaxy is very good, and Let’s Be Cops is not. All that and Joel’s hilarious “big announcement” to end a really fun, funny show.
The movie referenced by Gilbert – now playing in your nightmare, or on YouTube………
Joel Radio #112: Cereal for Girls
Aug 22nd
Men and women are different. It’s a comedy premise as old as time. That doesn’t stop Joel and Corey Hall from discussing how when it comes to breakfast, men are the superior gender with Count Choculas and Sugar Crisps besting Kashi and Puffins any day of the week. Of course, this topic was brought on by a new experimental Oreo flavor, Birthday Cake, which is an apt description because women would only publicly eat a tiny bit of these cookies publicly, before consuming the rest of them in private. Actually they’re pretty bad for either gender and neither of the guys feels like consuming too many. Also, hear how about Joel’s terrifying studio infestation and how he dealt with it, a Gathering of the Juggalos recap that involves some famous comics a lot of weed, and fallen pro wrestling hero who needs your help. Plus, Werner Herzog makes some great documentaries and Joel’s recommendation makes the famous director’s voice appear magically throughout the rest of the show.

This should be an easy decision – for dudes
Joel Radio #103: This Ain’t Detropia
Mar 22nd
Joel is well rested and joined by both Corey Hall and John Tenney on this week’s show. Joel goes after the documentary Detropia. He finds it a one-sided exploitative look at the city of Detroit, and it has a scene where friend of the show, comedian Steve Bills is humiliated, for no good reason. Corey piles on as he talks of interviewing the director and slamming it to her face. Also, comedian Bobcat Goldthwait talks about Joel, or, erm, Upchuck on a podcast. Hear Bobcat’s hilarious story about performing at The Gathering of the Juggalos, Joel’s corrections to his story, and while Joel never shared this true and funny story on the air before. Plus, Joel’s home video round-up, Detroit’s “best comedian” media scandal, Searching for Sugar Man is overrated, Joel and John love The Fall, Joel can sleep now and the announcement of John’s new podcast – Top Tennys.

That pretty much says it all
Joel Radio #90: We Cure Olympic Fever
Aug 23rd
The world went Olympic crazy over the past few weeks. Unfortunately it didn’t happen to two surly comics in Metro Detroit. As the world was captivated my synchronized swimming, water polo, and kayaking, Joel and Corey thought the whole thing was a silly, jingoistic, poorly-covered mess. And that Olympic Village isn’t an orgy! It just isn’t. A decent college party maybe, but nobody’s banging those female gymnasts – certainly not the male gymnasts! And what happened to good-looking American female beach volleyball players? Has Europe overthrown America’s dominance in cute bathing suit-clad asses? Listen and find out. Also, Joel returns from The Gathering of the Juggalos, and shares his tales of sharing the stage with Cheech and Chong, Ralphie May and Bobcat Goldthwait. And Corey worked with Hal Sparks! Whoever the fuck that is! Just kidding! And Corey is about to get married. Hear his wedding plan nightmares and find out if France will actually be open for the Honeymoon.

Joel clowns it up in a Cheech and Chong Sandwich (actually Chong and Cheech)
And the now completely offensive Basketball Jones clip by Corey’s request
Joel Radio #68: Two and a Half Juggalos
Sep 1st
After being returning from the Gathering of the Juggalos and being sick for a week, Joel Radio returns, largely bolstered by stories of Joel meeting people who became famous twenty to forty years ago. Including Charlie Sheen, who Joel met, attempted to write jokes for, and ultimately failed to help get over to a hostile crowd. Things went better with the legendary MC Hammer, as he and Joel’s mutual admiration ended with pictures and Twitter shoutouts! Corey can’t believe all he’s hearing, including that Vanilla Ice is a nice guy, That Jimmy “J.J.” Walker was funny, or that the Kottonmouth Kings rap about marijuana (OK, he actually believes the last one). Also from the Gathering, Joel makes the press, Ron Jeremy bears gifts, Brian Posehn falls off the wagon and the Iron Sheik lost his mojo. Plus, Corey hates the summer movies, Cedar Point is a time suck, and Joel feeds a buffalo – but not at The Gathering.

A gift from Ron Jeremy! The price tag was his idea. It’s priceless, this 3/4 empty bottle of rum. Priceless I say!
