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!

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!

Where do we start with Old Dogs? Human puppet suits? A cross-eyed Rita Wilson? Sports marketing?

Kulap gets meta about Howard’s interview style, Howard once again hints at his romantic past, and Chris goes in depth about orthodontia.

It’s 2011, and you’re listening to “Mike Detective” with Rob Huebel!

The gang somberly and respectfully discusses the great phosphorous attack of 2010 before launching into hilarious comedy bits like our newest feature: Alive or Dead. It wouldn’t be a Patton Oswalt episode without Star Wars talk, and it would be a shame to have Huebel on without discussing prostate cancer prevention or letting him show off his brilliant foley work.
