Joel Radio #115: The Monster Mashup
Oct 26th
It’s that time of year for scary things. And this podcast is plenty scary. Paranormal investigator John E.L Tenney, Joins Joel and Corey and speaks on things we don’t know, like if Bigfoot exists, the unseen particles that bind the universe together, and why Jay Leno appeared on Good Times. The guys also discuss the state of stand-up comedy and why new comics try risky bits that couldn’t possibly work. Joel thinks that there’s an attempt to achieve “brilliance” like Louis C.K. or Patton Oswalt, at the expense of getting laughs. Also the definition of a “comedian” comes into play – is Joel a comedian who hosts a podcast or a podcaster that does stand-up comedy? Is Joel even funny? Listen and find out. Also, what’s wrong with daytime TV, from Katie Couric’s digital blur to Dr. Oz feeling up housewives, the guys look at what’s good (nothing) and bad (everything) on the boob tube and hear Joel’s theory as how the Today Show lost out to Good Morning America. Plus, Corey hates Bad Grandpa, the rules of Halloween costumes, and Arsenio Hall’s new show is as good as you remember – that is it isn’t at all.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #194: The Eskimo Comedian
Oct 16th
Being successful in comedy sometimes a gimmick. Corey and Joel have largely steered clear of such shtick – until this week, as Corey unveils his new creation, The Eskimo Comedian. Corey takes his years of preparation for the role and makes it seem like it’s something he just came up with on the spot. Brilliant. Funny? Decide for yourself. Corey makes comedy look easy, though as demonstrated by the recent effort of Today Show newscaster, Ann Curry, who gave stand-up a shot for an on-air bit. Does she sink or swim? Is it truly painful or just mildly embarrassing? Hear the tape with commentary in full. Also, the hottest older showbiz babes, Ringo’s weird request, TV chefs get ranked and Family Guy (kinda) sucks.
