How did we get this far without covering Gigli? The quintessential bad movie, it has remained a go-to punchline for nearly a decade. Catch Gigli out on DVD or Netflix Instant, and be sure to give us your new and improved title right here on Earwolf.

Join Bob for Affirmation Nation’s first ever Quote of the Day. It will leave you feeling warmed, more content, and ready to embark on the day’s adventures.

Scripture states: The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a group of comedians doing a podcast will lead them. I THINK I’m getting that right. This week we address Foreign Relations with comedian Tom Clark who tells us what it was like to volunteer in Mexico. From NAFTA to The Eagles, we cover it all. We even get a brief visit from Ronald Reagan! It’s like a massage for your ears, so listen in and don’t ask us if “That’s it?”

Both Doug Benson and Harris Wittels are experienced podcast guests. Knowing what they know about podcasting and Nick Thune, what will they think of each show’s four minute submission? Only four shows remain, so no nit will go unpicked as we prepare for tomorrow’s elimination episode. Tune in tomorrow to see who is going home and which three podcasts will continue in the search for Earwolf’s next great podcast!

This week’s episode of Comedy Bang Bang is devoted to all the Parks and Recreation fans in the audience. We’ve jam packed the show with Parks and Rec insiders from Chelsea Peretti to Harris Wittels and even Adam Scott! If you like the unique cast of crazies that Pawnee offers, you’ll love hearing Chelsea Peretti’s brand new characters. Maybe you watch the show for the compelling relationships: Prepare for the deep, meaningful, fascinating relationship between Jack and his brother-in-law Bryan from Carl’s Lumber Yard. This episode will answer ALL your Parks and Recreation questions, as long as your questions are “How many episodes have there been?” and “What’s the name of Adam’s character?”

The Apple Sisters join us yet again from the open seas where they are enjoying all the amenities the USS Earwolf has to offer. It’s not a cruise without a delicious buffet, but with the Boat Queen Pageant coming up the girls have to be ever watchful of their figures. Tune in your radio dial and enjoy the calamity as we are introduced to Captain A-Crab! If you live in Los Angeles, be sure to check out The Apple Sisters on September 26th at the Lilian Theatre.

There is a good chance that some of you listeners found this show because of Paul F. Tompkins, Marc Maron, Paul Scheer, or some of our other well-known guests. This week we see how each of the contestants handle 10 minutes with comedian Nick Thune. Matt gives the contestants valuable advice on approaching guests with respect, so tune in tomorrow to hear how everyone fares with guest judges Doug Benson and Harris Wittels. Also, let us know on the forums if you would like a bonus behind-the-scenes episode.

For many of us, a medicine cabinet is more than just a place to store toothpaste and antacids: A medicine cabinet is a treasure trove of all the things we hold most dear. Today you’ll hear what Bob keeps in his medicine cabinet, and hopefully it will inspire you to spruce up your own medicinal toy box.

HARRY SHEARER! Actor, author, musician, director, radio show host ? heck, he even owns his record label. Getting his start (albeit uncredited) in an Abbot and Costello movie in 1953, to voicing Mr. Burns and many other characters on The Simpsons, this man has spent more than half a century entertaining people! You don’t want to miss this one!

What do you get when you add 1 hilarious Jewish comedian with a 1/2 Jew music producer, 1 goy comedy writer and a super cute dog? A ridiculously fun hour of podcasting, that’s what! We covered it all with comedian ARI SHAFFIR – including but not limited to: sex-choking, “Birthright” in Israel, first childhood memories, dating on the road, and oh yeah, did we mention sex choking? ENJOY.

This week on Sklarbro Country we have DUIs, twin drama, a demolition derby, slap shot contests, black light mini golf, and that’s just in the first half hour! Our first guest is Paul Gilmartin who you certainly must know from Dinner and a Movie or from his awesome stand-up and hilarious characters. He talks about adult-league hockey fights and competes with Randy and Jason in a fear-off straight from Mental Illness Happy Hour. We close it up with Michael Samosa, an athletic linguist of sorts who is not only here to educate but to bring us all together as citizens. Go punch a waterfall, and if you live in Philadelphia or Ann Arbor be sure to get your tickets to see The Sklar Brothers before it’s too late.

What better way to end the week than with a poem? Today’s poem is called “Don’t Squeeze” and I’m sure it will speak to many of our listeners. Have a great weekend!

Drew brings Glitter in the Garbage to a live audience for the very first time and boy is it a tit party! His guests Edi, Stephanie, and Julie delight the huddled masses with tales of crappy jobs, a bizarre mommy hangout, and of course The Actor’s Little Corner. If the response from the room is any indication, you will love Drew’s rant on The Alcove. Pour yourself a gin and tonic and enjoy!

I like to think all of us dream of a better world. A world more friendly, more welcoming, and more ergonomic. Today’s Affirmation Nation are some of the dreams Bob has for making the world a simpler place to live.

Remember how much fun we had last time Paul F. Tompkins graced the chartlands? We simply had to have him back to discuss summer songs, cable television (not movies!) and for a sumptuous game of roulette. Paul climbs off of his icy sofa to favor us with his thoughts on M&M ads, The Earwolf Challenge, and Math Rock. You know, all the regular discussion topics. Go to Earwolf to hear what our suit expert thought of Kim Kardashian’s wedding and to pick up the brand new ultra-hot Who Charted? t-shirt!

For the first time ever, fewer podcasts are safe than are up for elimination. Who blew the judges away, and who confused and bemused them? We’re more than halfway done, so hold on tight as we finish up the search for Earwolf’s next great podcast!

It’s an easy enough premise, but many of us have problems executing it. Bob reveals just how to say “No” today with some tried and true excuses for those of us too full of love to deny anyone anything ever.

Summer is winding down and you have time for one last big-budget action thriller! Sorry, we can’t help you with that. Instead we have a meager-budget alien movie without a compelling story, relatable characters, or cool looking aliens. The Brothers Strause have done it again! Skyline is the movie and our guest is Jordan Morris from Jordan, Jesse Go! and All About Steve. The plot is unbelievable, the dialogue is atrocious, Jason is angry, Paul is confused, what more could you want? Jordan talking about his experience on All About Steve? Well you got it!

Pee shyness effects countless individuals all over this great country, including listener Joel. If you are similarly affected and are tired of the stigma, tune in and find out how you can urinate happily once again.

The challengers have three-and-a-half minutes and no introduction to get our judges on board. How will they fare when Matt, Jordan Morris, and Kulap Vilaysack “commentate” on their mini-episodes? Learn who makes the bottom three and who is going home tomorrow on The Earwolf Challenge.

Andy Richter talks to Ronna & Bev about raising his children as nudists, his so-so movie career, and life with Conan. Beverly dances around Rachelle’s affair with a professor and subsequent expulsion from ASU.

Today on Professor Blastoff we explore immortality. Like Ponce de Leon searching for the Fountain of Youth, Tig, David, and Kyle (via internet magic) search for microscopic nanorobots, rats growing ears, and The Singularity in an attempt to answer the all important question “Do you really want to live forever?” Put your game of Toilet Mack Truck Turbo 2 on pause and journey through time and space with Professor Blastoff and the gang.

They say laughter is the best medicine. If that is the case, take out your IV and put it your earbuds because we have a great new episode of Comedy Bang Bang for you! We have two first time guests: Gillian Jacobs and Andi Callahan. We all know Gillian from NBC’s Community and if you aren’t a fan of Andi yet, you will be once you hear his hilarious tales of working as a nurse. The laughs just keep coming this week, so protect your funny bone and get me 119 CCs of CBB, stat!

Ahoy there seamen! The Apple Sisters are on a six week voyage overseas on the USS Earwolf and trouble is already brewing! With the Boat Queen Pageant coming up, the girls are certain to encounter nefarious criminals looking to steal the crown and possibly more. Are you ready for music, intrigue, and seasickness? Than listen in, and send any well wishes to the girls over at their Facebook PO Box.

That’s right, it is time once again for one of Bob Ducca’s product reviews! This week Bob turns his critical eye to a personal hygiene product that can’t quite live up to the hype.

With the competition now cut in half, we return to a trusty old challenge: Concepts and Content. Only it’s a little bit different this week: They can’t pull from the archives, and they don’t get to introduce the clip! This week’s coaching session takes on a different tone as Matt emphasizes marketability to the contestants. We’re taking your suggestions to heart so leave feedback on the Earwolf forums and join us tomorrow as we bring in guest judges Kulap Vilaysack and Jordan Morris.

THOMAS LENNON! Actor, comedian, writer and director, from Reno 911, Wet Hot American Summer, and The State chats with Kevin Pollak.

Well, we finally did it. We took our guest behind the bleachers, liquored her up on coconut water, and took her podcast virginity! Even though it was her first time, HelloGiggles.com co-founder and twitter favorite SOPHIA ROSSI conducted herself like an old podcast pro, discussing her porn star doppelganger, bringing donuts back and her theory on shopping addicts! Enjoy.

NBA Lockout got you feeling down? Sad about getting kicked off of your high school football team? Did a member of the U.S. Ski Team recently urinate on you? Well we have an episode sure to cheer you up featuring the delightful Rob Delaney. The Twitter superstar charms us with the unbelievable story of how he went from Sir Lancelot to accountant to television writer all while finding time to sing at Fenway Park! Rob’s unstoppable positivity even wears off on Bruce Jenner who seems to be in great spirits for his daughter’s wedding. Not even a frivolous Village Person lawsuit or ridiculous Ron Artest news can get our mood down! Don’t forget to watch Rob’s Ma Men video and tell us what you think on the Earwolf Forums!
