Country begins tonight by reflecting on his long and checkered employment history and other shtiklech, before launching into some Country Yossi music ("Bubba Basra") and then diving headlong into your calls in his never-ending search for Grand Prize Winners. Without spoiling the excitement, yes, there were a few, but not one of them actually won a Grand! Vos iz?
And Dov Shurin checks in from Eretz Yisrael with all the latest news.
Don't forget the February issue of the Country Yossi Family Magazine comes out this Friday, featuring a cover story about up-and-coming musical superstar Heshy Goldstein.
Tonight, after a little comedic reminiscing about Country Yossi's school days, Country and Heshy find they have nothing better to do than to take your calls, so if you have nothing better to do than to place a call, it's a perfect match!
But wait, there's more! Like Rosh Chodesh Bentsching with Yossi's father. It's like we say in the radio biz, "Wow, what a deal!"
Don't miss the February issue of Country Yossi Family Magazine, coming out January 27th, because your parakeet is tired of reading the January issue at the bottom of his cage.
Tonight, it's a whole lot o' Heshies as Country Yossi and Heshy "The Wonder Child" Walfish welcome musical sensation Heshy Goldstein!
What can we say about Heshy G. and his new album, Shomer Yisroel? Well, you'll read all about it in the next issue of Country Yossi Family Magazine, but for now, just visit Heshy's website: http://www.shomeryisroel.com/ for more information, to preview the songs, and of course, purchase the product.
And what Country Yossi Show would be complete without a visit from Dov Shurin with the latest news from Israel, and of course, your phone calls? Not this one, that's for sure!
It's the last night of Chanukah, and a great miracle happened right here! Half-a-million haimishe people have been spared the pain and suffering of this week's Country Yossi Show as Country and Heshy take a well-deserved night off. Your ears will thank us later.
Can't stand the deprivation? We have two years worth of classic shows waiting for you -- and by "classic" we mean "old." Just click the months on the right to peruse the archives.
We can't be sure, but Country Yossi may be planning to drop a Matzo Ball in Times Square for New Year's Eve.
The boys will be back next week, so you still have time to pick up some ear plugs.
It's The Country Yossi Show for Tuesday, December 20, 2011.
For the first night of Chanukah, Country and Heshy -- arguably not the brightest wicks on the menorah themselves -- are again joined by the shining light that is Eli Gerstner to remind us of the existence of his latest CD, YBC5: Chanukah.
Did you know that the second English song on the album is a humorous look at Chanukahs past, called "Those Were the Nights." With lyrics by our very own Country Yossi, this is straight-up, flat-out Country Yossi, doing what he does best. It takes a hysterical look at those eight dreidel-spinning, latke-gorging, gelt-giving nights of our youth. The boys loved performing it in the studio. They couldn't keep still while singing it though, and had to do many retakes before they managed to stifle their laughter.
And now this delightful track has become a viral video sensation, and Eli is here to tell us all about it. But why just tell when you can see it for yourself on YouTube. After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be worth at least twice that.
Add to that Rosh Chodesh Bentsching with Yossi's father and the latest news from Israel with Dov Shurin and it's a Chanukah spectacular for the ages. Well, at least ages 5 to 7, maybe.
Stay tuned to see if our boys can keep their brilliance for the full hour, let alone eight whole days!
It's The Country Yossi Show for Tuesday, December 13, 2011!
Tonight, Country and Heshy welcome Jewish music great Isaac Bitton, a.k.a. Raya Mehemna.
Isaac Bitton is back with his new album "Generation Redemption." Continuing on his path of fusing powerful soulful cues along with Moroccan Roll and AndalBlues, "Generation Redemption" is a melodic treat for those looking to rock or be moved.
And just when you thought things couldn't get any more spectacular, who should call in but Dov Shurin with the latest news from Israel! It would have been earlier news, but we were backed up with Isaac.
No time for regular shailes this evening, so feel free to make up your own.
It's The Country Yossi Show for Tuesday, December 6th, 2011.
This week, Country and Heshy have the shailes, the whole shailes and nothing but the shailes. And don't miss this week's special rhyming qualifying question!
Also, despite our best efforts to prevent it, Dov Shurin checks in with the latetst news from Israel. Well, it could be worse. We're not really sure how, but I'm sure it could be worse.
It's The Country Yossi Show for Tuesday, November 29, 2011.
Country and Heshy have more shailes than you can shake a stick at, if that's your idea of a good time. Think you can match wits with these two? It may not be a fair fight, because with them involved, a battle of wits contains nitwits, dimwits and halfwits!
It's The Country Yossi Show for Tuesday, November 22, 2011.
Tonight, your humble podcaster gets the special honor of being the butt of some of Country and Heshy's Top-of -the-Show schticklach, with an emphasis -- apparently -- on the Butt. Why, you... I oughta...!
Add to that Rosh Chodesh Bentsching with Yossi's father and the latest news from Jerusalem with Dov Shurin and you've got another show that's not to be missed. But believe me, we've tried to miss it.
And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, you can be thankful you won't have to hear from these two Turkeys for another week.
