Let us cherish our last few moments of summah before the drab and dreary non-summah seasons take over. Let us spend the twilight of the finest season enjoying charts and the delightful Todd Barry. Let us learn what is on the Billboard Country Singles Chart and what the heck Straw Dogs is about. Let us enjoy Todd’s impression of dubstep music and a rousing game of Chart Piñata. And most importantly, let us design Who Charted? themed cups and koozies for a chance to win the 12.5 Cups of Summah. Goodbye summah. We’ll miss you dearly.

Today’s poem is one of sadness and loss. One that has provided Bob catharsis following a tragedy. One about bagels and toasters.

Wait and see, when we’re through, boys will gladly go to war for you. With good fortune (and a great hairdo) you’ll bring honor to us all. That’s right, it’s time for the much-anticipated Mulan episode! Kidding, of course. We have our first write-in guest, Owen Wiseman, who brings a vast knowledge of the Japanese feudal system to the hatch and discusses the concept of honor with Tig, Kyle, and David. What’s the difference between morality and honor? Is it wrong to steal food for one’s family? Since when is condescension a bad thing? And which of our podcasters is the most honorable? Listen in and find out!

It’s been too long since we visited our old friend Nic Cage! Our next movie choice is a highly requested selection from Nicholas’ resume: The Wicker Man. You have a week to find it online and enjoy 102 minutes of Ridiculous Cage before we deconstruct it for you (and possibly revisit Skyline). See you next week!

We’re past the halfway mark on the way to the Boat Queen Pageant. What could possibly happen next? A shipwide mutiny including The Apple Sisters and their fellow Boat Queen competitors? Well, I’m not going to spoil it for you, but, yes, that’s exactly what happens. Get your mind off of the stress of your life with today’s Apple Sisters and you will be rewarded with singing and beautiful ladies! You only have a week to pick up tickets to The Apple Sisters at The Elephant Lab, so get on it sailors!

It is important to always thank those who provide kindness and charity. Today’s Affirmation Nation is dedicated to all the business who have provided Bob with a roof and a comfy chair when he needed it the most.

Dana Gould: Standup comedian, writer, and commentator for the Lucha VaVOOM wrestling promotion, he’s appeared on Conan, Letterman, wrote on The Simpsons for a number of years, and has been working for the past few decades. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

Well, we’re smitten. He’s a Southern gent, funny as all get-out, and willingly went on the ride that was this podcast ~ BRYAN SAFI came on TLP and we giggled our butts off. All of us – Elizabeth, Psychic Andy AND Ruby now have a gay man crush and we know you’ll love him as much as we do! Enjoy.

Ronna & Beverly talk to heavily pregnant “Ugly Betty” star Ana Ortiz, and a rift between the ladies still hasn’t been healed.

Mac and The Q Crew, together again! Rob McElhenney, fresh off the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season premiere, stops by Sklarbro Country to discuss the manliest of subjects: Smoking, fighting, power lifting and, of course, fatherhood. Following that interview we have Bryant Gumbel who talks to us about, well, following up interviews. Plus we’ve got sports news courtesy of Paul Hamm, Manny Ramirez, and the NHL. Hello and “HENDERSON!” to any new listeners, and be sure to pick up a limited edition signed copy of Hendersons and Daughters from the Earwolf store.

We end the week once again with a poem. This one is entitled I’m Looking for a Chiropractor Like The One In Jacob’s Ladder. Thank you, and see you next week!

Hopefully most of you have visited Funny or Die since Monday and know about our new partnership with them. If you haven’t, this episode will answer a lot of questions. Even if you have, you’ll learn from Dick Glover, President of Funny or Die, how the partnership came to be, how the website itself came to be, and what it’s like to work for such a popular comedy entity. This is the guy who made ESPN.com back in ’92, so he’s got amazing amounts of insight into the digital world and where it is headed. I’ll give you a hint: QR codes and hoodies.

Good news guys! Drew watches Dance Moms! We open this episode with an ode to the best young-adult-dance-themed-reality-show on television (with a nice cameo from Earwolf co-founder Jeff Ullrich). It goes crazy from there as Drew, Brian, and Dana escape to a fantasy world of homophobic Target employees, Civil War devotees, weirdly racist parents, and the elderly. And who doesn’t love a nice round of audition horror stories? Pause Hoarders and listen to Glitter in the Garbage post haste!

Andy Kindler and charts: Does a finer duo exist? The fabulous Mr. Kindler returns to once again delve into the world of movies and pop music (courtesy of iTunes US Singles). We get Andy’s thoughts on Gaga and puns on The Debt before rolling into a game of Chart Roulette. Try to navigate the line between sincerity and hilarity as Andy excitedly dances and sings his way through the chart theme songs, movie trailers, and more. Plus, we announce the winner of the Heal With My Steel video contest! Listen in, pick up a Who Charted? tee shirt from the Earwolf store, and “if you wanna groove, groove.”

I think the title says it all. Thanks for your letter, Rich. Feel better.

Oh, hello there! Please, sit down and make yourself comfortable. Would you like a glass of wine? Mmm, I thought you might. We’re dimming the lights in the hatch and talking about sexual attraction this week with the absolutely beautiful and hilarious Sarah Silverman. From pheromones to cologne, we discuss the science of seduction and the perfection of breasts. Enjoy it with a loved one, or at least a super attractive one.

For nearly a decade, Gigli has been a go-to punchline for hack comedians. Does it hold up to it’s bad movie reputation? Danielle Schneider joins us this week to deconstruct one of the most monumentally bad movies of the millennium. This movie is garbage on every level, from the painfully awkward acting to the politically incorrect plot. Head over to Netflix Instant to see for yourself, and then join us to learn How Did This Get Made?!

The Little Dum Dum Club have spent the entire Earwolf Challenge in the top, only once being considered for elimination. Today they pull out all the stops as they invite Australian comedians Luke McGregor and Nick Cody into the fold for a full 30 minute episode. Our charmers from down under talk about parents on Facebook, their crappiest comedy gigs, specialty coffee, and strippers in an attempt to win a spot on Earwolf. Will they succeed? Find out tomorrow on The Earwolf Challenge Season Finale!

Hey Laimewads! Woohoo! We are in the final two of the Earwolf Challenge – the first reality podcast competition to win a contract with Earwolf! It has been 10 long and grueling weeks of podcast challenges that we’ve somehow managed to make it through. For our final challenge, we have a mini episode up with… wait for it… (holy shit)… “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s” CHARLIE DAY!! We had so much fun with him, we’d hate for you to miss it. THANKS LAIMEWADS!

Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang! As today is our first day on Funny Or Die, we’ve pulled out all the stops and brought in some of the most talented folks we know. Folks like Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover and Between Two Ferns. Folks like famed film director (and friend of Paul F. Tompkins) Werner Herzog. And who better to score this star-struck episode than Yo La Tengo, gods of alt rock. If this is your first episode, enjoy! If you’re a long time listener: Be on your best behavior, we’re having company!

It’s a tear filled episode of The Apple Sisters this week as Candy, Cora, and Seedy encounter two of the scariest sea creatures: Pirates, and beauty pageant competitors! Will all this stress cause the girls to turn on each other? Listen in and find out!

Well folks, we’re down to the final two! This week Earwolf co-founders Jeff Ullrich and Scott Aukerman join host Matt Besser to decide which of our remaining contenders have earned a spot on the network. The Challenge? One full 30 minute episode of each podcast with the results announced on Wednesday. Today you’ll hear Totally Laime spend some time with Charlie Day from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Fears, New England accents, family dynamics and more are discussed as Elizabeth and Andy give us their final submission. Come back tomorrow for The Little Dum Dum Club and join us on Wednesday for the results.

He’s like the best parts of Elizabeth and Psychic Andy put together: our very first Vegan & Jewish guest! Stand up comedian MYQ KAPLAN talks about being a lesbian (enjoying her time in his body,) open relationships and of course, a TLP episode wouldn’t be complete without a conversation about losing one’s mind. ENJOY!

A newly married guy finds out his wife is pregnant while he’s at sea and just a few years later, to his surprise, becomes a stay-at-home dad.

Next week is a big one for Randy and Jason: Their album Hendersons and Daughterscomes out on Tuesday, they’ll be on Conan on Wednesday, and they’re spending the weekend performing in Ann Arbor. You gotta stretch before you sprint, so prepare for the Sklar-athon with a proper warm-up of Sklarbro Country. Writer Alec Sulkin leaves Twitter for long enough to discuss working for Craig Kilborn, his friendship with Seth MacFarlane, and his upcoming Mark Wahlberg/Mila Kunis movie. Not enough for you? Well we have Jesse Thorn back for yet another of his fantastic fantasy reports. Still not enough? Sklarbitration returns! Enjoy, and HENDERSON!

Cracked.com is one of the internet’s most popular comedy locales. Jack O’Brien is the mastermind behind this magazine-turned-website and he’s here on The Wolf Den to talk web analytics, book publishing, flashbulb memory and more. Learn a bit about the impending FunnyOrDie partnership and get a quick tease of what you can expect from Earwolf in the coming month.

Time for a Glitter in the Garbage road trip! You can meet us in New York City for a performance of Jersey Shoresical and late-night reruns of Dance Moms with Drew, Jeremy, and Danielle. I need to make a quick appearance at my friend’s kid’s birthday party, so we might have to stop by the mall to pick up her present. Crap, what should we get her? Commercials are so crappy nowadays I wouldn’t even know where to start. Oh, and we have to make it back in time for my daughter’s dentist appiontment. Fuck it, let’s just play some basketball and hang out!
