Joel Radio #66: Fishing With Jake

 

Joel Radio returns with power. Really. Power, meaning the utility company actually managed to keep the lights on long enough to finish the podcast. This follows a long, hot, sticky week in Detroit, where the power went out, a comedy show was ruined and the people were miserable – sounds like every week! Actually not, as Joel saw Paul McCartney perform live this week and gives a full, enthusiastic review. Corey, meanwhile, is stuck at home watching reality TV. Especially his favorite show, Storage Wars. But for God’s sake, don’t watch the sad, 2nd-tier knock-offs. Also, the guys join Google +, Jake Gyllenhaal goes to the wild, Hillbilly Handfishin’, and Katy Perry’s ass comes out for the Smurfs. Plus, Falling Skies soars, 30 Minutes or Less is the summer’s best comedy, and new website is imminent.

Joel Radio #65: Unskimmed

Joel and Corey are joined on this show by Eric Thomas, a comedian, radio talent and podcaster. Eric claims he can talk about anything – and he does! This is a really fun show. The guys memorialize the end Club Bart’s Comedy Night and look forward to Joel’s new show (info here!). There’s also much irreverence about the Casey Anthony not guilty verdict, including Florida’s future stripper prospects and Joel’s explanation of why “reasonable doubt” isn’t what people think it is. Also, the top movies of 2011 so far, Joel revamps the blog, Corey cries for old media, and Corey and Joel play old school hip-hop experts – about as well as you think they would.

Joel Radio #64: Cars 2 Sucks

Cars sucked. The sequel Cars 2 comes out this week. It sucks too, according to Corey Hall. Joel hasn’t seen Cars 2, but will go along will that sentiment anyway. Other things that suck this week: Club Bart closing, the first half of that ESPN book, Ryan Dunn’s death, The Green Lantern, David Bowie’s saxophone and Pirates of the Caribbean 4 at the drive-in. Things that don’t suck this week: X-Men First Class at the drive-in, the second half of that ESPN book, jokes about Ryan Dunn’s death, Paul McCartney live, Super 8, this show, and you.

Joel Radio #63: Weiner U

It’s the week of E3 – that’s the big videogame convention – so nerds like Joel and Corey Hall are excited. Usually. This year’s show was a bit duller than usual, although Nintendo announced it’s new console, the Wii U. The guys talk about the innovative new controller, whether they’d actually buy it, and why the original Wii was a failure. Also, congressman Anthony Weiner put his junk on Twitter in one of the dumbest career-killing moves of all-time. But the guys are divided over the humor of the situation whether it’s not something “every guy” would do. Plus, X-Men First Class gets reviewed, the guys split on Hangover 2, USA is better than Canada (in soccer!), and rumbling seats = fail.
