The Nigerian Prince was right –  CASEY WILSON from SNL and ABC’S upcoming Happy Endings is fun and cutie! Not only did she discuss prison love but she dove right into all things Oprah so you can only imagine how thrilled Elizabeth was! OH, and if any of the members of the band the DAVENPORTS are listening, your future wife’s email address is mentioned within so take good notes. Enjoy!

Henderson Nation, we have some advice for you: Don’t do crack, drink chocolate milk, and listen to Sklarbro Country. That’s all we got…oh wait, no it isn’t! We “got” a great episode with Dana Gould and Jesse “The Body” Ventura! Dana explains what it’s like to grow up in a house full of athletes, and tells us about the wrestling sensation Lucha VaVoom. Apparently Jesse Ventura bought our Sklarbro Country Live recording and wasn’t too pleased with what we said about him. If that’s not enough, we have our FIRST EVER Nascar story, plus an exquisite Steve Garvey video that will make you seen ninjas in a whole new light. Don’t forget to stop by Legal Zoom to protect your legality lest Elijah Wood turn you in.

This week on Glitter in the Garbage, we offer to you a step-by-step plan to get you out of your trailer park and into Hollywood! Step one: See a hypnotist, or at least call one. Step two: Take a stand-up comedy class (especially if you’re a lady). Step three: Do some yoga, eat some mung beans, say some terrible things about the people you know. Step four: Move to Los Feliz and join the comedy duplex with Drew, Melinda, and Taylor. Now wasn’t that easy?

It’s Valentine’s Week and we’re here to seduce you on Who Charted?! This week Old People Be Lovin’ with the lovable and hilarious Moshe Kasher. Moshe cracks the code on making a country music hit in our music chart, plays a rather competitive round of Chart Darts, and answers the age old debate: Who is sexier, Justin Bieber or Adam Sandler. You’ll learn a bit about Jewish culture, Laotian cuisine, and find out if you have what it takes to be Moshe’s valentine. Be sure to check out the show page at Earwolf to hear an exclusive bonus chart full of classic hip-hop!

Some movies are so bad they’re good, some are so bad they’re bad, and then there’s The Last Airbender. It’s the story of the lil’ Avatar that could, and is riddled with enough racism and weird dialogue to disorient you for days. Jon Daly somehow got roped into the torture of this movie, and joins Paul, June, and Jason to work through the pain. Listen to hear if your back-handed compliment was used, and leave us comments on Earwolf and Facebook if you can explain the whole moon princess storyline.

This week, Kevin is joined by Castle, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog star Nathan Fillion!

After having her first child, a woman experiences heart failure and is told she has less than a 50 percent chance of surviving another pregnancy. Through a surrogate, she finally gets her “miracle” baby and is surprised to discover he’s just a regular kid.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pride we announce that Jon Bon Jovi now owns Sklarbro Country! Well, at least he’s trying to buy it, and with a show this great how can you blame him? Rich Fulcher of The Mighty Boosh and Snuff Box explains how he became a non-Brittish Brittish superstar and makes it very clear how he feels about cricket. Jerry Jones makes his first post-Super Bowl appearance to discuss the seating controversy and what he’s going to do for all the disenfranchised fans. Now, while you go pick up Sklarbro Country LIVE from our store, we’re off to trademark “moose knuckle” at Legal Zoom.

Ah, Los Angeles in February, can’t you just taste the Glitter in the Garbage? With Oscar nominations out you can see all the Angelinos in their native habitat, be it discussing their plastic surgery, protecting their neighborhoods from invaders, ruing their thoughtless parents, or being rued by their own children. Drew, Brian, and Bryan make their opinions of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards very clear, and we want to know what YOU think of the movies nominated. Leave your comments about Annette Bening, The Social Network, child actors and anything else at Earwolf.

Doug loves movies, poker, Julio Iglesias, marijuana, and CHARTS! Mr. Benson is no stranger to the podcasting world, and we are lucky to have his expertise this week on Who Charted?! Hear about Doug’s interesting Super Bowl Sunday, his thoughts on the previously mentioned “rumble seats,” and why his Last Comic Standing experience was so unique. Chart Roulette is back better than ever, and with the return of the pop music chart, we get our first glimpse of a Chart Mutation.

When you have your own talk show on IFC, you can get some pretty huge guests from the world of entertainment. This week Scott shows off his showbiz credentials with former Monk writer Tom Scharpling, gay marriage advocate Gary Marshall, and future “Best Book” nominee “Weird Al” Yankovic! If you want to know what it was like to write for Your Show of Shows, or how to behave during a Costco book signing, this is a show to which you should pay careful attention. Scott once again rolls out a new feature with “Who Said It?” but in proper tradition follows it up with a rather rousing round of “Would You Rather?” Like “Weird Al” always says: What’s Up Hot Dog!

Mythbusters host Adam Savage joins Kevin!

Totally Laime is a second grader!  For this special episode, Elizabeth and Psychic Andy take a look back of 5 of their favorite moments from their first year of podcasting. These include clips with hilarious guests MARC MARON, ZACH STEEL, ADAM PALLY, MIKE BURNS, and ELIZA SKINNER! Enjoy!

It’s time to take a break from your Super Bowl party planning and relax on the calming shores of Sklarbro Country! If you’re a fan of Childrens Hospital (who isn’t?), you’ll love this week’s appearance by Rob Corddry, who lets us in on some juicy news about the third season of the show. Find out what Rob has in common with Everson Griffen, and what Gerald Dixon has in common with Gerald Dixon. If you have any last minute confusion about the Super Bowl, Eddie Pepitone will certainly clear it up for you.

The message of the week on Glitter in the Garbage is sisterhood, whether it’s between Oprah and Gail, Oprah and her half-sister, or Oprah and June Raphael. June, Casey Wilson and Matt McConkey join Drew to teach us all about womyn’s safety, and the fellowship of out-of-work actors. Remember folks, be careful when you’re straight cruising at gay bars, and don’t drink and drag!

When The Razzies, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, and 9 year-olds all agree a movie is bad, it’s time for us to dig in! The Last Airbender is the universally despised M. Night Shyamalan film adaptation of a successful children’s show. Interested yet? You can rent it on Netflix and iTunes, and once you do, send us your back-handed compliments at howdidthisgetmade@earwolf.com

Proficient comedian Matt Besser comes by to talk about exercise bicycles, making pizza, and CHARTS! The music for the week is rock, which goes over surprisingly well, and after the movie chart we see the return of Chart Roulette. Even the biggest comedy nerds might not know about Matt Besser’s comedy gene pool, and even the biggest chicken nerds probably have no idea what goes on at the Museum of Chicken Excellence. Be sure to check out Dragon Boy Suede’s Ho Cal from the Earwolf store, and once again, our sincerest apologies to Linkin Park and China.

Comedian Marc Maron joins Kevin!

Actress and comedian Lisa Kudrow joins Kevin!

We know that many of you are not ready to forgive Brett Gelman for the way he made a mockery of Comedy Bang Bang in 2010. However, we let him back this week solely to bring along Michael Gladis (aka Professor Kinsalot from Mad Men) and Maria Thayer from the upcoming Adult Swim show Eagleheart. The cast lets us in on the graphic beginnings of Eagleheart and try out our newest feature, Is This News Story True or False?! Scott scores the episode with songs off of Don’t Stop or We’ll Die’s new EP, and Brett helps lead the first-time guests through What am I Thinking?, Would You Rather?, and of course, plugs.

52 weeks. Holy Hell has it really been a year of podcasts? A YEAR!? Indeed it has. Happy Birthday to Us! To celebrate, we pulled off a miracle that we still don’t understand which is to say that we got PATTON (motherfuckin) OSWALT to come on our little show! He is even cooler than you already think he is and he even brought over a signed copy of his new book, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland. We’re of course keeping that copy like the selfish assholes that we are, but we did purchase another copy (with a signed insert) to give to one our our beloved Laimewads – just go to our facebook page HERE, “like” it and leave a comment under this episode post. A random winner will be drawn on Monday, February 7th. Enjoy!

A woman leaves her dream job to stay home with her baby, and then, out of boredom, starts sewing and unwittingly creates a new full-time job for herself.

If you’re going to get nerdy about sports, you must invite the boys of Nerdist! Matt Mira and Chris Hardwick step away from their Doctor Who dvds and Wired magazines to bring their unique perspective on Boston and bowling. We get a little inside baseball about the world of podcasting, and Chris answers the all important question: What happens to those oversized novelty checks athletes get? Tiger Woods stops by to weigh in on the “Tiger Mother” scandal, and to try out some jokes for the first time. Get tickets while you still can for this Sunday’s LIVE Sklarbro Country and possible bear roast, and get legal with it over at Legalzoom.

We’ve got some good news and some bad news this week on Glitter in the Garbage. Bad news is that Drew is a bit under the weather. Good news: This gives Harvey Fierstein a chance to drop by! Drew talks a bit about his past with Chloe Sevigny, and is joined by his friends Alex and James to talk about gay super-villains and John Waters films. Besides that, we have serious political discourse about the racial and sexual climate, a guide to Culver City California, and an appearance from diva extraordinaire Corona Martini! Let us know what you thought of the episode by commenting over at Earwolf!

Where do we start with Old Dogs? Human puppet suits? A cross-eyed Rita Wilson? Sports marketing? Paul, June, and Jason invite Casey Wilson to help sift through the farts and crotch-shots that make up this 87 minute masterpiece. Casey and Paul reenact one of the more subtle, dramatic moments from the film, while Jason crosses the line with his jet-pack criticisms.
