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 #157: Live from the Fest
Jan 21st
Corey and Joel are live from the 1st annual Detroit International Comedy Festival at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle on this special show. The guys sit down with all the stars of the show, like headliner Mike Green. Mike details his 22-year rise to stardom and the four wives it took to get him there. He describes being the subject of a new documentary, the genesis of his material and how he tries not to sound like Dane Cook. Then you’ll meet relative newcomer Dave Landau, who’s made appearances on Comedy Central and Last Comic Standing. Even with his success, Dave still has to take 3AM flight to his Carribean honeymoon. What’s the itenerary Detroit to Nassau via Stockholm? Dave’s a good sport and a good comic. We also catch up with performers and old friends Keith Ruff, Bill Hildebrandt and Bill Bushart. Find who got banned from a club and why, who hated their Festival set and who won’t allow Joel back at his house for a party. Also, club owner and comedy legend Mark Ridley stops by, a check bounces (not Mark’s!) and the best Jay Leno and Kevin Eubanks impressions – ever.
