Joel Radio #210: Sweetening The Laughter
Jan 9th
Don’t watch comedy specials says Joel. They’re all fake! Or enough parts of them to make it an unrealistic representation of what a live stand-up comedy show is really like. This observation comes as the worldwide media reacts to the new Dave Chappelle specials on Netflix. Joel and Corey Hall can’t seem to figure out why comedy is now treated as political speech when it’s goal is to make people laugh. Joel explains how lots of tricks like editing together multiple shows and adding laughs to the soundtrack make the shows more “fake” then they should be, and therefore he doesn’t watch – and frankly doesn’t care. Joel also returned to the road this week and has a recap of four shows he’s done since the last podcast. Find out if Joel is thirsty for the high of live performing or if he’s seen enough. Also, a full Golden Globes review including why the somber tone made the show a bummer, how the presenters made the same mistake over and over, and why Kirk Douglas was out there – actually there’s no explanation for that. Plus, reviews of I, Tonya, the excellent LA 92 documentary, and hear if Lana Del Ray ripped off Radiohead – who ripped off The Hollies.

Joel Radio #164: Bowie’s In Space
Jan 14th
Nothing is more agonizing for a comedian than doing new material. Except for maybe doing new material with 50 other comics in the room, and for only two minutes. That was the dilemma that Joel faced recently, as he was invited to perform at “50 First Jokes” last week in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Hear why Joel didn’t want to do the show, how Joel tried to involve Corey Hall in the proceedings, and how he was triumphant anyway when Corey let him down. Oh, and you’ll hear Joel’s joke, so you can decide for yourself. Also, the world lost a music legend in early 2016, as David Bowie passed at age 69. Joel and Corey eulogize the transcendent rocker, listening to his greatest hits, his early singles and his legendary collaborations. You’ll also hear about Tin Machine, but that’s not because you want to. Plus, the Golden Globes get dirty with Ricky Gervais. Hear Joel’s solution for airing the show uncensored, how the Hollywood Foreign Press rejected Corey and and why it’s simply impossible to follow all the TV shows that were nominated. If that wasn’t enough, find out exactly what it’s like backstage a Gallagher concert. The mallet, the table, the watermelon, hear all the secrets revealed! Just remember to bring a can opener.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #109: Return of the Uglies
Mar 1st
Not that he’s ugly, but comic Russ Brown returns to the show. It’s a big week, too as the Oscars just happened but out-of-touch Russ couldn’t be bothered to watch. Still, Russ gives his thoughts on Joel’s “hots”, “so-sos” and “uglies” from this year’s telecast. Who’s stock fell from the Golden Globes? Who’s rose? Who could haunt a house? Not only was she ugly, but Ellen Degeneres wasn’t funny on the show, either. That leads into a discussion of bad comedy and the guys found Exhibit A in the world of bad, tired, hack stand-up comedy and you’ll hear it all. Also, we discuss the roast preparations and what stuff we want Nils to bring from Germany. We also finally put to rest the “wave” cap controversy from last week. Turns out Joel was right – but he’s still an asshole.
