Without Kulap to keep ’em in line, Howard and Engineer Stard leave it to the universe to guide this week’s extra special TWO CHARTED! Those who make it past the hilarious rambling introduction will be rewarded, as weird things happen, the show goes completely off the rails and somehow ends up becoming one of the most memorable episodes in Twooch history. Howard and Stard cover every topic imaginable, including powerful Russian drugs, art versus animals, the anniversary of Howard’s first make out session, and an update for all the loyal Chartists on Howard’s sister’s relationship with the man who caused the infamous fainting spell. Howard recommends an unforgettable donut shop before welcoming a surprise celebrity guest who just so happened to be in the right place at the right time. The mystery guest and Howard get personal and tease an epic Wie-Wie story that will (hopefully) be discussed in a future episode. To close out the episode, Howard answers some fan questions and Stard plays the long anticipated “SUMMAH’S HERE!” REMIX!

The multitalented Michael Blieden stops by the calming shores for the very first time on this week’s very special Sklarbro Country!

After reminiscing about an old Cheap Seats sketch they all worked together on, Mike discusses how he came to direct the very popular Fiona Apple/Zach Galifianakis music video, which lead to his even more well-known collaboration with Kanye West. Mike shares many more fascinating tales from his career before rattling off some Quick Hits, and the show wraps up with a hilarious phone call with Tim Gunn from a few weeks back in which he shares his thoughts on the shocking Anderson Silva upset.

Today’s special episode of Ronna and Beverly was recorded LIVE from Montreal with wonderful guests Nick Kroll and Andy Kindler! They discuss everything from allergies to Andy’s recent State of the Industry Address. You’ll be some kind of schmuck to miss it!

Enjoy!

After counting down the top summah movie opening weekends, Matt Besser reveals details of his hilarious experience teaching Kanye West the art of improv comedy and being a guest in his lavish, mural-stained home. Before signing off, we take some listener questions from Twitter.

We join our heroes right where they left off, in a gigantic creepy black tower that is located on a planet covered in corpses.

We take a break from the hatch yet again to bring you another unforgettable live episode of Professor Blastoff, this time all the way from Atlanta! After discussing the fact that they almost didn’t make it to the venue, Kyle tries some new potentially inappropriate impressions and, courtesy of Aaron, we finally learn the origin of the chicken parking lot bit. Tig’s childhood friend Aimee Schmidt, a southern studies major who wears many hats, stops by to school the gang on all things related to the south — including hospitality, BBQ, fried Oreos and everything in between. David brings up the south’s troubled past, which leads to a thoughtful discussion on the current state of affairs in modern southern society. And of course, it wouldn’t be a live episode without a hilarious game of Name that Punky!

Put your hat backwards in preparation for your second dose of Stallone as Bobby Moynihan joins us to discuss the arm wrestling obsessed world of Over The Top! We discuss everything from the weird father/son relationship to the movie basically becoming a high stakes arm wrestling documentary.

Jordan Rubin is back to experience the insanity that is Sklarbro County! Jordan tells us about working on a horror-comedy called Zombeavers, why he got over Twitter, and a terrifying tale of poop. Daniel Van Kirk also brings us some crazy stories that involve Suburban men being charged after their housekeeper eats a pot brownie, a woman who hid a loaded gun in the last place you’d expect, and a Tennessee man who is suing Apple for giving him easy access to porn. Plus, a wandering Steven Seagal leaves us a special voicemail!

You likely know him from TV shows such as Studio 60 and The Daily Show, and if you don’t know of him yet, you’re about to from Chuck Lorre’s “Mom” on CBS – the talented and charming NATE CORDDRY stopped by and we talked living in sadness amongst the Hassid’s, the heaven and hell experience of flying both first and coach to Australia, an almost sorta near death experience while surfing, and oh yes, of course – crematorium jokes! Enjoy!

We return to the intimate, one-on-one Howard and Ku action on this week’s TWO CHARTED!

A war correspondent on childbirth vs dodging a sniper.

Jeff could not believe that Amy Poehler existed the first time they met. Amy explains why the podcast is like the new student film, shares some of the cool questions her children ask her, and tells us what kind of advice the older version of herself would give her present self. It’s a delightful conversation filled with talk of writing, bar mitzvahs, and public nudity.
