Joel Radio #122: Too Many Girls For Jerry
Feb 7th
The folks at Gawker should be loving Joel Radio right about now. At least the one asshole over there who challenged Jerry Seinfeld about diversity in comedy, as Joel Radio is proud to bring you two female comedians on one big show. Joel and Corey along with guests Lauren Uchalik and Samantha Rager discuss why Seinfeld is right about comedy not necessarily needing diversity and why being funny is (usually) enough. You’ll also hear the girls’ ridiculous stories about being a woman in comedy, including free motel rooms for open mike spots, late night Scrabble invites from pervs and in-boxes overflowing with poetry from strangers. The guys also share the worst story they’ve ever heard about a horn-dog comic that involves a long road trip and one bed for the headliner and opening, female, performer. Also, this year’s Super Bowl was the worst ever, Jay Leno is leaving but things are gonna get worse (says Joel), and is the Jeopardy! champ a fink or a genius, the panel debates. Plus, superfan Cam sends “disgusting” and “weird” foreign candy bars to the panel that end up being neither disgusting or weird and Joel makes a big announcement about a fun future project for Joel Radio.

Lauren and Sam give this show two thumbs up
Joel Radio #30: The Corey and Jay Radio Show
Jan 28th
Jay Leno finally decided to do his first “sit down” interview about the late night debacle. And even though Oprah Winfrey was chosen as the host for said interview, Corey Hall found the event worthy enough to sit in on the playback. Listen as Jay weasels his way around various question concerning Conan’s ratings, Jimmy Kimmel’s insults, and how he loves the make-up guys. If you thought Jay was a douche before, just listen to this! Also, Joel and Corey have the full re-cap of Conan’s last week, and why Jay’s show may never be the same. Plus, Joel’s memories of attending Conan’s show, The iPad debuts to a collective shrug, and the biggest bombs in TV history dissected. It’s a fun, fast, 90-minute must-listen show. Enjoy!

Joel Radio #29: Purple and Gold
Jan 22nd
A day late, but remember it’s free! Joel previews the NFL Championship games and listens to the Prince-penned, Vikings “fight” song, Purple and Gold. Just when you though it impossible to make a crappier song, Joel improvs his own lyrics, making an an atrocity into a full-blown Haiti-esque disaster. Listen at your own peril! Plus, the latest with Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno, Jerry Mathers looks weird, Golden Globes thoughts, and the wildest movie screenings of all time – coming to a theater near you.

Joel Radio #22: Now That’s Quality
Nov 19th
In a Joel Radio first, the show goes on the road to Northern Michigan. That’s Gaylord, Michigan, to be more precise, and the Quality Inn to be even more exact. Joel and Steve Sabo are in Gaylord for a comedy show, so the guys took some time to discuss that night’s show and a bunch of other fun stuff. The guys discuss the odd characters at the comedy show, Sabo grades Joel’s performance (it’s low!), and Sabo admits to his checkered past – as an impressionist. Plus, a rundown of UFC 105 and a preview of UFC 106, looking for porn in a hotel room, and Jay Leno meets Christian Slater and you are there. If you ever wondered what comics do on the road after a show, wonder no more.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #212: Funny For Free
Mar 12th
Most comedians aren’t rich. They work for little money most of the time, and sometimes even perform for free. Then there’s Jay Leno, who’s actually a rich comedian – and he’s performing for free, in Detroit anyway. It seems Leno wants to do a free show in Detroit to pay back the unemployed auto workers for their hard work assembling the vehicles that now sit in Jay’s massive car collection in L.A. It’s a nice gesture, but Detroit’s long history of racial politics is getting in the way and Corey breaks down the whole ridiculous history of the Detroit city council, the suburbs vs the city feud and how it’s amazing that black people are now claiming to be Jay Leno fans. Later, comedian Mike Green calls in. Mike’s attempting to get comedians (who aren’t Leno) to stick together to get better treatment from club owners and bookers, only to have some guys roll over and accept the peanuts they’re thrown. Should Joel join the cause? Listen and make up your own mind. Also, Dancing With the Stars vs American Idol – what’s more gay?, Corey’s movie roundup and much more in this jam-packed show.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #83: Defending Gallagher
Aug 24th
Show #83, incorrectly identified as Show #84 by Joel, carrying on the tradition of incorrectly identifying the show’s number, and not like anyone cares. Anyway, on today’s show the guys announce their next big remote show wihich will feature lots of comedians and lots of clam chowder. Speaking of comics, Corey and Joel debate Maxim Online’s list of the worst comedians of all-time. Thankfully we’re not on it, but it may surprise you who gets trashed and who gets defended. Someone thinks Gallagher is unfairly hated and someone thought Sinbad was really funny (when he was 14). Someone even still carries a torch for Andrew Dice Clay. Also, we play “Cancelled or Not Cancelled” with the new TV season, discuss why the new Survivor could be the best yet, and understand the special comedy dynamic between Jay Leno and Kevin Eubanks. All this and no drumrolls.
