The Corey And Joel Radio Show

It's the last Joel Radio for a couple of weeks, but it's a doozy as Corey returns for nearly two jam-packed hours of fun. The big news is a full review of Carrot Top's recent Detroit-area show. Hey, I know you're thinking Joel didn't like the show, but the truth is, he really didn't like it, and not for the reasons you might think. But the bad comedy doesn't stop there, as TLC's the "Little Couple" had the little husband try his tiny hand at stand-up. Hear the whole thing with jaded Corey and Joel commentary, and the guys riff on basic cable reality shows, trying to figure out exactly which channels have the baking show, the midget show, and the midget baking show - they're all different channels! Also, tons of summer movie reviews including Corey's take on The Other Guys, while Joel reviews Micmacs and thinks the Kids are All Right, but not Oscar-worthy. Plus, what happened to Clive Owen, Corey hates Big Brother, and Jackie Gleason parties like a rock (jazz) star.

Joel Radio welcomes back one-time sports reporter Chill. Turns out Chillian Thomas (his real name!) has a new project, a comedy show called Comedy Held Hostage. Chill and his partners, Susan and Jared, discuss the origins of the show, plug their upcoming dates and tell the audience how to avoid getting hit by chairs. They also discuss the success (or failure) of Obama's administration, what really goes on at black barbershops and who does and doesn't tip. Plus, sex with celebrities, the pros and cons of Club Bart, and Joel recaps Juggalo Gathering memories - including the most outrageous moment of all time.

Corey Hall returns and Joel is back from vacation - it's show time! This week, the guys discuss Mel Gibson's meltdown, Larry King's retirement, and the summer reality returns of Last Comic Standing and Big Brother. Also, hear the details on Joel's vacation north of the border, including a trip to the wax museum and wild excursion into Lake Ontario. Plus, Detroit's got an underage stripper, Craig Kilborn returns (an no one cares), and Corey reviews Inception - it's good!

Joel Radio has World Cup fever. OK - now it passed. Actually, the USA Soccer win to claim the group title was really exciting and former associate Corey Hall was there to watch it unfold. The guys give a full post-game recap, including the revelation that Corey wanted to turn the game off in the final minutes! Then there are the more obvious things, like Algeria's faux-hawked homo players, the weirdness of the North Korean team, and the fact that most Americans still hate soccer. Also, the guys have a full rundown of last week's E3 video game conference, including thoughts on Microsoft & Sony's new motion controllers, the "new" XBox 360 and the complete awfulness that was the new Zelda. Plus, the summer movie season still sucks - even with Toy Story 3, Last Comic Standing returns, and what the world was waiting for - pretzel M&Ms. Right click here to download - 107 minutes, 49 megs OR press the play button below and listen right now:

Sorry for taking a few weeks away. I was busy working on some other projects. Really! The plan is to do a new show the week of June 21st with Corey Hall guesting and featuring a full rundown of the E3 conference, a World Cup update, and we might even see what assholes are currently on Chat Roulette - I know a lot of you liked that segment last time. Catch you all next week!

Though he's late to the party, Joel finally dives in to the wild, wacky pool that is Chat Roulette. While expecting to find weirdos pleasing themselves, and he did, Joel actually met giggly girls from foreign countries, a shirtless gay man who made a pass at him, and one guy who found everything Joel said hilarious (we're not sure if he spoke English or not). But best of all was a 14-year-old brat from England who rattles a string of insults about Joel's weight and appearance that's nothing short of heart warming. Who says there's no love in the world - a world where a teenager can call a complete stranger a "fat shit" dozens and dozens of times all while knowingly being recorded for radio. It's a hilarious exchange, one of the funniest in show history, so put the headphones on if you're listening at work and enjoy! Also, the summer box office tanks, ModNation Racers gets reviewed, and Harry Artin calls in with a plug for what may be a very weird show, and guess what - Joel's on the bill.

Movie critic Corey Hall returns for a summer movie preview, as this is a really good summer for movies if you're a female or eight-years-old (or both). The guys discuss the box office future of The A-Team, if Scott Pilgrim can save the world, and how Inception might be the only intelligent, adult movie of the summer. They also wonder if the Sex and the City girls are older than the Golden Girls, why all assassins are hot chicks, and when P Diddy became our nation's greatest comedic actor. Plus, Law and Order is for scared dummies, the current whereabouts of Gene Shalit, and if anyone will ever get their fill of Kevin James getting hit in the nuts. Plus, Joel can't go to Hawaii, skipping Star Wars for thew Appalachian Trail, and, she's no Chloe - but Joel's neighbor is an upgrade.

This is a "No-Dough" show in that it's free! Just like all the other shows on this site! What a deal! Show #39 features the return of Harry Artin, who's busy invading Sign of the Beefcarver, making rap songs, and tying in to the fame of Freddy Krueger. Harry gives his opinion on gas prices, the Gulf oil spill, and attempted NYC terrorism. He's also mentoring the incredible Doughmaster, a 40-something cab driver who, as you'll hear, has some of the most offensive, funniest, raps - ever. Also, Club Bart soldiers on as Joel finds himself a subject in some of the worst-looking YouTube videos ever.

This week, Joel weighs in on the Kick Ass movie controversy. Is it too violent to be starring an 11-year-old girl? Was Roger Ebert right, or is the new big fat film critic, Harry Knowles, correct in his assertion that gun play and children go hand-in-hand? Plus, Joel's favorite story of 2010 so far, the impeding Larry King divorce. Seems Larry was banging the sister-in-law while the wife was fielding pop-ups with the Little League coach, all adding to one scandalous, amazing, and hilarious story. Also, Larry's criminal and marraige history explained - this guy's a piece of work! Listen for all the juicy details. Plus, the NFL draft is upon us which means Mel Kiper Jr. gets to be wrong some more! Hear a re-cap of his biggest f-ups ever on this show.

Corey Hall's retirement tour continues and the guys get together the ol' Corey and Joel magic for show #37. We're not talking Vegas-style magic, more like Cub Scout talent show level magic with a shitty rope trick, the linking rings and gimmicked deck of cards, but hey - it's free! The guys ramble about the price of oil, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, bare breasts in public, Ellen's bizarre wardrobe, XBOX 360 DLC, underpaid comedians and so much more. Plus, Joel fondles the iPad, yet doesn't fall in love with it - kinda like his dates! Actually, the iPad was more responsive than most of Joel's dates (present GF not included).

Joel is back from Philadelphia, and despite performing at a sold out show for 1700 people, the number one question he's asked is "did you have a cheese steak?". The answer is "NO" and Joel's reasoning for that are on the show, plus hear about Joel's Philly hotel room disaster, finally meeting Jimmy Walker, and how Philly is different from New York. Also, there's drama on Dancing With the Stars, but since it involves "top asshole" Kate Gosselin, Joel doesn't really care. Plus, eating crow over Alice in Wonderland, Ricky Gervais fails, 3-D can't save Clash of the Titans, and (a little) more on this show.

After last week's doom and gloom, it's back to fun time on Joel Radio! What could be more fun than Tiger Woods' dirty text messages? His porn star ex-lover posted a bunch of them on the web, and Joel has the full list and analysis. Find out how long Tiger's "sessions" last, and what he really likes in bed. Bring a friend to listen, Tiger would! And Jesse James cheats on Sandra Bullock, which proves that a body full of shitty tattoos is better than an Oscar. Also, Joel's (actually Upchuck's) interview with hilarious web video artiste extraordinaire, Scott Gairdner. Scott's not a Juggalo, but might be now. Plus, Joel's brush with "tween" TV fame - look out Zack and Cody! Right click here to download - 62 minutes, 29 megs OR press the play button below and listen right now:

To the surprise of almost no one, another child star is dead at a young age. This time it's Corey Haim, who was one of 103 child stars named Corey in the 1980s. Joel examines the phenomenon of why child stars go bad, and how drug-related deaths of celebrities are treated by the media. Follow the long history of excuses and cover-ups to discover the only few "true" drug ODs in history. Its actually sad to hear the same excuses over and over, and not understand why these deaths are actually happening. Later, Joel reviews the 2009 Oscar ceremony. It was boring and, in hindsight, predictable. Joel thinks The Hurt Locker is overrated, and he's got his stats to prove it! Find out the history of War movies at the Oscars, and hear why the "Hurt Locker Ass Kiss Spectacular" will likely go down as a black mark in showbiz history. Plus, the Oscar prognosticators' results are in, and can Joel's cat sleep through an entire show?

It's a huge week at JoelRadio, so let's bring back a (ahem) huge guest in Corey Hall. There's so much to talk about as the Winter Olympics wrap-up, Alice in Wonderland debuts, Jay Leno returns to late-night, and the Oscar race concludes. But the biggest news of the week was the appearance of legendary movie critic Roger Ebert on the Oprah Winfrey show this week. Surviving cancer has left Roger unable to eat, drink or speak, with no lower jaw, lower mouth or tongue. It's a sight more graphic than anything in The Crazies (reviewed this week!), yet sad and inspirational at the same time. In fact, some brainiacs figured out they build Roger a "voice" from his previous DVD commentaries and TV appearances. Thankfully, Corey and Joel's years of podcasting should have them covered in such a tragic event, so whatever genius listening to this (Nils!), get working on it! Also, The Marriage Ref debuts, does Seinfeld strike out? Plus, Shutter Island sucks, the history of Mountain Dew, and the funniest thing ever - the secret life of gay Siskel and Ebert (not true, but really funny). Right click here to download - 93 minutes, 44 megs OR press the play button below and listen right now: Ebert as he appeared on Oprah - some things you can't un-see...

It's Olympic Season again, you got the fever yet? Yeah, well go get that looked at - it won't clear up on its own. Seriously though, Joel has watched some of the coverage, and found nothing more entertaining than this. Except this - a ski run so completely inept, that Joel is moved enough to fly to Vancouver just to show a trained Olympian how to stay upright for more than six seconds. It's really incredibly sad, yet entertaining, to see such an epic failure on such a big stage. Thank you Marion Rolland, thank you France. Thank you, thank you. Also, Kevin Smith is too fat to fly, but not honest enough tell you the whole story - thankfully Joel is here for that. Plus, Amazing Race and Survivor return, and Steve Sabo picks UFC 110, and there's some tough fights to call. One fight will decide the overall lead!
