'''JavaJoel JoelMurphy''' (born Joel Murphy, [[September 30]], 1974) — better known by his on-air personality '''Java Joel''' — is an [[1974Americans|American]]) radio personality. He hosted a nightly weeknight radio program called "''The Rubber Room" ''on [[WKSC-FM]] 103.5 Kiss FM in [[Chicago, Illinois]]. His show was also heard in other cities such as [[WKGS]]/Rochester NY, [[WAKS]]/Cleveland, [[WKST-FM|WKST]]/Pittsburgh, [[KKRZ]]/Portland Kiss FM/Tulsa, and Kiss FM/Cincinnati.

The Rubber Room had 3 main members: Java Joel, the host; Jdogg, producer/sidekick; and Silly Jilly, female sidekick. Many other people stopped by the show including Chris Kelly, Alex, Camps, Joe V, and Joey T. In April of 2003, The Rubber Room made national headlines after Java interviewed

pop singer [[Justin Timberlake]] and angered him, which resulted in Timberlake telling Java to "take a valium bi*ch". Java has won numerous awards such as the Silver Dome Award and the Jock Conference Slammer Award.

On August 4, 2006 Java Joel was hired as the night time DJ on [[WAKS]]/-96.5 KISS FM Cleveland, and in 2012 was moved to the afternoon drive slot.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kisscleveland.com/pages/java.html |title=Java Joel - All the Hits - Cleveland, OH |accessdate=2013-04-25 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120829025818/http://www.kisscleveland.com/pages/java.html |archivedate=2012-08-29 }}</ref>

Java Joel was fired from WKSC on January 11, 2005 when at about 9:30PM he played the [[Mr. Belvedere]] theme song and made an inferred racial remark regarding [[African-American]]s. Since his firing, Java has appeared on stations in Philadelphia, Y-103.9 (Crystal Lake, IL) and 102.3 XLC (Waukegan, IL), WCKG (105.9FM) Chicago. Most recently, Java has been hired as a weekend fill-in at WKIE/WDEK/WRZA (92.7/92.5/99.9) "Nine FM" as well as afternoons on WYUL "94.7 Hits FM" in the Montreal market. On August 4th, 2006 Java Joel was hired as the night time DJ on [[WAKS]]/-96.5 KISS FM Cleveland.

In 2009, amid the [[Chris Brown (American singer)|Chris Brown]] assault allegations, he decided to pull all Chris Brown music off of his show, thus starting a station wide boycott of his music.

Java Joel has lost his ability to be creative and has now resorted back to 'shock jock.' There is excellent young talent standing outside the door of the studio he is occupying and clinging onto for dear life. In his constant ramblings and screams of 'People destroying radio...' he no longer has even meare feable attempts at being funny. It's sad to see what was at one time top of the line talent, now resemble a blank mind trying to do a job that he clearly does not possess the passion or talent for any longer.

RIP Java Joel...for the shock jock has long since passed and now real talent is demanded by listeners. Go waste away on AM Radio, or DJing Karaoke Nights at a local VFW.
