If you look past the candy wrappers, gift wrap, and greeting cards, you can still see the glitter in the garbage! We bring you some post-Christmas catharsis from Drew and his friends Stephanie, Ron, and Sam. Hear how Spice World and a place called “The Butterfly House” changed Drew’s life before we head into the conversations of traveling strangers and teachers at a lunch room. Listeners will get some free therapy by proxy, and hear an exclusive one-of-a-kind reunion of The Facts of Life cast! We hope your New Year’s plans involve drinks, drugs, and of course, glitter.

Why count down the stupid seconds until the lame new year with your idiot friends when you can listen to Kulap and Howard count down the charts! We get a break from Katy Perry and Rhianna with a look at the hottest rock charts, plus movies and the brand-new segment Chart Roulette! Guest Brendon Walsh talks to us about hot dog innovations, doing comedy in Austin, and crappy corporate rebellion. Let us know in the comments what you think of the new chart intro music, and have a Happy New Year!

“…The glitter was hung by the garbage with care in hopes that St Drew Droege soon would be there!”

This week, Drew gets festive with his friends Michaela, Colleen, and Edi as they celebrate everything abhorrent about spending time with family. We learn about Drew’s traumatic educational experiences, as well as the traumatic experiences of a poor robbed restaurateur dealing with the gayest detectives on the force. It gets a wee bit voyeuristic as we journey into the lives of some of Utah’s finest sister wives, as well as prescient as we look into the future with Mystic Visions. Merry Christmas!

Merry Xmas Laimewads! As our gift to you, please enjoy this podcast with the hilarious GIL OZERI, comedy writer for ABC’s upcoming “Happy Endings” and also star of the amazing upcoming Comedy Central album featuring his legendary phone sex prank calls – one of which is featured here. And of course it’s the Jewish one because we can’t leave psychic Andy out. Happy Holidays and Enjoy!

Ku-ku and Wie-wie are back for week three-three here on Who Charted?!

Paul Scheer and his friends went to see Burlesque, and you might be shocked to hear that they didn’t like it. Paul, June, Jason, and guest Nick Kroll help us sift through the glitter and sadness that makes up this Golden Globe nominated film. June shares with us some of the life lessons she learned from this future-classic and everyone shares their personal “WHAT THE FUCK?” moment.

Cake Boss and El Chupacabra present each other with Christmas gifts and Cake Boss treats us to his second-sight into 2011.

It’s always sunny in Sklarbro Country when Owen “The Butterscotch Stallion” Wilson and Kaitlin Olson (The Butterscotch Philly, of course) drop by. Kaitlin regales us with the joys of motherhood and the well-kept state of the Earwolf bathroom before she and The Sklars launch into some longer-than-usual hits about Shaq, Baron Davis, and Cliff Lee’s wife. Owen gives us some insight on his recovery from depression as well as the affair he probably had with Sheryl (Cheryl? Sharrel?) Crow. Leave us your best D.J. names for Rony Seikaly and join the rest of the Sklarmy over at Prediculous. Amber Alert!

If you don’t find living on a cruise ship at Gauntanamo Bay interesting, or if you don’t like funny smart dudes, then you probably shouldn’t listen to this episode with Elizabeth’s new favorite colleague, STEPHEN RUDDY of UCB Theatre’s Gravid Water… But if you do like all of the above, then ENJOY!

We’re back for week number two, this time with Mike Rose and Pete Zias! Drew explains for us why he feels the way he does about Maya Angelou, and Mike and Pete contribute stories about meeting their heroes (or at least reality television stars). We get to listen to a meaningful conversation between three similarly named friends, and learn a valuable lesson about gift appropriateness during Community Beat with Dwight Sim. Come visit us again next week: That is, if you don’t have to leave the country with any sort of political figure.

For those of you waiting to hear how things have changed in the charts, we have an update: Howard still hates Harry Potter. He and Kulap bring in Kumail Nanjiani to discuss Bruno Mars, Jake Gyllenhaal, and of course, Florian Henckel von Donnersmack. We learn some important facts about fireworks, which are mostly silly but sometimes killy. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s Norbit talk! You can’t do better than that!

Reggie provides live music for the entire episode, and Teamster Tommy Malone makes his first appearance to talk about his sexual problems and adoration for Phish. Harris’s Phone Corner runs just long enough to allow time for What Am I Thinking? and the premiere of the Motorcycle Theme Song! Happy Holidays from all of us at Earwolf, and don’t forget to check out the multitude of stocking stuffers available in the Earwolf Store.

If you’ve ever wanted to watch crappy movies with the industry’s best comedians, you are in luck!

That’s right guys, PAUL SCHEER! Yes, the one and only from The League, from Children’s Hospital, from Human Giant. On. Our. Podcast. We’re not sure what we did right in our past life (cuz it definitely wasn’t something we’ve done this time around, oh!) but somehow the universe gave us the gift of the nicest, funniest, most likeable Comedians on the scene right now. Enjoy!

Welcome darlings to the first ever episode of Glitter in the Garbage with Drew Droege. This is your spot online for old school Hollywood glamour and pop culture rejects! In this first episode, Drew explores ABC’s “The Middle” and it’s disgusting lead Patricia Heaton before having on some of his famous friends.

Welcome to Who Charted, a weekly podcast delving into the hottest music, movies, and television for the week. Steve Agee joins Kulap and Howard in their maiden voyage, where they discuss everything from Dancing with the Stars to the Dancing with the Stars Result Show! If you’re like Steve and have almost no interest in popular music, you’ll still enjoy hearing about Howard’s roller skating Viagra experiences, Steve’s Twittercide, and Kulap’s Quidditch aspirations!

Fans of Stella and The State rejoice! The Marm of Smarm Michael Ian Black graces the Earwolf studios for the first time and brings with him an expansive knowledge of football and a great potential art project for fans out there. Together Scott and Michael discuss his acerbic comedic persona, his mile-a-minute career, and the emotional issues that make him the fantastic comedian we all know and love. Unfortunately, Scott’s ex-step father Bob Ducca makes another appearance to let us know how he’s spending the holidays (hungry…very hungry). Bob and Michael go head to head in a game of Would You Rather? which brings up some emotional family issues for both guests. Without any spoilers, there are some meaningful hugs that lead up to the hilarious plugs. Remember to check out the CBB XMAS CD. and Ebay Auction, both benefiting the L.A. Food Bank.

This show goes out to all Sklarbro listeners in Fantasy Podcasting Leagues! This week was our draft, and we went with entrepreneur and podcast legend Jesse Thorn, as well as Comedy Bang Bang favorite Nick Kroll. The guys run Sklarbitration for the first time in weeks, and for a very deserving plaintiff: Steve Miller’s sagging career. Nick Kroll tells us about his fantasy-centric show The League and premiers his character Randy Moss’ Dog! Jesse Thorn closes up the show with his fantasy picks for those playing in the AKC league. Here are the not-quite-safe for work (even if your work is playing water polo) Singapore swim-suits, and an interview with Joakim Noah regarding his “kind of awkward” steam room encounter.

Guys, she’s super hot, she’s crazy talented and lucky you, you’re likely to see her frequently on your television as well as on this very special podcast! Comedy actress ALISON BECKER came over and made us swoon. All of us. Even mascot Ruby. ENJOY!
