With Zach Galifianakis’s hectic schedule these days, he hasn’t had a chance to drop by the studio lately. Well, he makes up for it in this TWO PART EPISODE! In the first half, Zach discusses with us all the pressing issues in his life, including but not limited to: His thirst for knowledge about the entertainment industry, dinosaurs, Aspergers Syndrome, microphone training classes, famous people with the last name Campbell, prison movies, egg rolls, and Jeremy Piven. Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber drops by to tell Scott and Zach about his directorial debut with Waiting for Godot, I mean, Romeo & Juliet. Musician Dillon Campbell plays a couple of songs for us, which tell us exactly how to live our lives. Don’t forget to check back to hear the second part of this hilarious episode!

This week’s theme on Comedy Bang Bang is well-adjusted adults who take criticism well and never had issues being accepted as adolescents. Sleepwalker Mike Birbiglia shares with us, in Mike Birbiglia-style detail, how he and Nathan Lane became friends, what it’s like to do comedy at a college, and how close he was to becoming a world class break dancer. Songstress Henry Phillips sings about the joys of Los Angeles, how much he enjoyed high school, and how to just say “Oops” when something goes awry. Punk-Billionaire-Genius Mark Zuckerberg shares some data with Scott regarding their shared love of The Beatles, The Big Lebowski, and Asian women. Pop culture aficionados will enjoy a rare trailer for the film Nowhere Boy, which is one short game of Fortunately Unfortunately away from a fantastic round of plugs. Enjoy, and while I’ve got you here, you should go check the Earwolf Store for awesome t-shirts and downloads!

Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast FINALLY gets the guest you have all been waiting for: Rocky Aukerman! Scott’s adorable Boston Terrier will keep you company through this week’s episode. He’s there while Jason Mantzoukas tells us about his role on this season of The League. He hangs around silently while Bill Carter of Trainer for the Stars, Seeking Stars.org tells us about training his celebrity clientele (spoiler: It’s all about getting your heart rate up!), using black magic, and what it was like for him growing up without cell phones and Tivo. It isn’t hard to imagine Rocky curling up in your lap to hear the traditional Irish storytelling of Patrick McMahon, and then getting up and leaving when Patrick starts composing his own impromptu limericks. If you listen closely, you can very faintly hear Rocky telling you all to check out the Earwolf store for awesome podcast merchandise.

What do Nick Swardson and Bill Cosby-Bukowski have in common? They are not only both guests on this episode, but they both have a sexual history with Betty White! Fortunately they take time away from doing inappropriate things with Ms. White to play a rather unconventional game of Would You Rather, judge a surprisingly positive round of Jukebox Jury, and answer the very first Ungame Question of the Week. The show gets a little personal when Mr. Cosby-Bukowski shares some of his Jelloems and Nick Swardson introduces us to his brother Gary. Don’t miss the upcoming Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time on Comedy Central, and while you’re here you might as well check out the Earwolf Store. This has been Bruce Vilanch: Thank you.

Have you been waiting to hear Huell Howser explain Inception? Had you not even thought about how great that would be and are now super excited to listen to this episode? Well, don’t “pull a plugs” and fast-forward straight to that, because you’ll miss appearances by Janeane Garafalo and Andy Dick. Andy gives us some saucy Hollywood stories, while Scott gives Janeane some advice for her upcoming show Criminal Minds Miami. Paul Giamatti very graciously comes by and humbly discusses his career, and Huell Howser ponders whether or not wolves can hear. Super fans will enjoy this rare glimpse into who Scott was in the 90’s when he first met Janeane.

What a busy episode! Scott is joined by the ENTIRE cast of FX’s “The League.” That’s right, both Paul Scheer AND Nick Kroll! Before Nick gets to the studio, El Chupacabra joins a particularly wheezy Scott to talk about his father, show off his impressive foley work, and take a call from a New York City firefighter. The last portion of the show involves actor J. Montgomery Scott and his illegitimate Hispanic child, Paul Scheer’s mumblecore film based on Family Circus, Nick Kroll’s pun-blecore film Long Story Short, Howard Stern’s penis, several barn-yard animals, and more indescribable hilarity. Listen to this episode, buy The League on DVD, watch the second season premiere, and then kill yourself.

They say all musicians secretly want to be comedians, but today’s guests do not seem to keep any secret of their comedic leanings. Aimee Mann, Ted Leo, and Jon Wurster all have serious comedy cred, between touring with Paul F. Tompkins, making music videos with Paul F. Tompkins, and performing on radio shows with Paul F. Tompkins. Speaking of Paul F. Tompkins, artist Mr. Brainwash makes his first appearance to discuss making art (and science) for the people. Listen to musicians doing what they do best (critiquing music), and what they do worst (short-form improv), and french artists doing what they do best (pronouncing the word “mustard”) and what they do worst (pronouncing the word “mustard”).

LIL’ GARY IS BACK! If I may say so myself, this is the closest he’s ever gotten to pronouncing a word correctly. Loch and Key serve as the house band for this episode, which brings back Kumail Nanjiani for his second appearance. Lil’ Gary talks about raising awareness for burn wards, Kumail talks about his wedding, Loch and Key talk about the genre classification of their music, Scott gives an Entourage re-cap, and What Am I Thinking? makes an appearance for the first time in a while. Enjoy!

Sometimes Comedy Bang Bang gets serious, and today is the case when Scott finally breaks down the all-important question on everyone’s mind: What is Fred Armisen’s ethnic makeup? Buuut seriously folks, Scott and Fred discuss the aspects of Saturday Night Live (or Sanightli as most people know it) that nerds out there want to know, from what it’s like to be a newcomer to just how Bill Hader perfects those impressions. After a quick music break by Trainwreck, Howard Kremer teaches us how to have a summah and Fred Armisen announces his and Carrie Brownstein’s upcoming program Portlandia. Would You Rather, Plugs, music, comedy, and other things, what more could you want???

Rob Corddry and Lake Bell take a break from rehearsing the movie What Happens In Las Vegas, Nevada STAYS in Las Vegas, Nevada (which I believe is some sort of Japanese shadow puppet theatre) to talk to Scott about their Adult Swim series Children’s Hospital. Fan Favorite Buddy “Cake Boss” Valastro makes his second appearance and talks about building a cake to take into the afterlife. After a bit of other-world communication, the gang launches into a game of Would You Rather and a great round of plugs with a great plugs theme song (but please don’t fast-forward straight to it).

And now, the exciting conclusion of EPISODE 66! Scott, Brett, and Bob try working out their differences and trying to heal the past with a performance of a touching recreation of past events. I won’t spoil how it ends, but I will tell you that they have time for a round of Would You Rather and the plugs you have been waiting patiently for since last week.

Well, I guess it was time that someone had “the talk” with Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast. It seems appropriate that it would be comedy legend Bob Odenkirk. Bob and Scott talk about the birds and the bees and the history of TV’s and myths and legends regarding the band U2 and all the other questions a pre-pubescent comedy podcast might have. Comedy legend Bob Odenkirk talks a bit about his show Breaking Bad Kids on Naughty Nick and Scott helps comedy legend Bob Odenkirk out with his upcoming concept album “Motown Bus Through Middle Eearth”. When an unexpected and unwelcome guest shows up, Scott really has to learn the meaning of “host”, with a helpful acronym from comedy legend Bob Odenkirk. This cliffhanger episode truly will leave you hanging…on a cliff.

This week Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast switched studios and I know what you guys are thinking: 1) Will we still get topical material about the world today, and 2) Will our favorite guests still find a way into the studio? Well, you’ll be excited to hear Scott and the Sklar’s discuss Fantastic Four, the band Boston, the movie Outbreak, and other top topics you’ve been dying to hear a comedic take on. Plus, Scott’s ex-step father Bob Ducca finds the studio and let’s us in on one of the fascinating parts of his past, as well as the problems he’s having with his neck and his morning journals about his family. And don’t worry about being a sports fan, any and all can enjoy The SklarBro Country podcast, assuming you are an orphan.

Well, we got a couple a ladies on the show today. They talk about their boyfriends, and hanging out, and showing each other their buttholes, and their hit TV shows, and what Harrison Ford thinks of their work, and other stuff that girls blabber on and on about. Repeat guest Merrill Shindler comes in to talk about the food he enjoys in LA and to tell us a bit about what you can expect when going to his house. All of this plus a big announcement regarding Earwolf (whatever that is)!

Matt (pronounced “wee-ner”) Weiner likes to keep all the secrets of Mad Men close to the vest…so let’s all not tell him about this episode, okay? I mean, can you imagine how angry he’d be if he knew we knew about *CENSORED* and *CENSORED* and don’t you DARE tell him that Jon Hamm and Rich Sommer mentioned *CENSORED*. Fortunately, before they could spill TOO many secrets, Jerald “T-Bones” Tibbons comes in to talk about some controversial issues like teabagging and Green Acres. Don’t miss this glimpse into Don Draper’s private life and feelings about artificial sugar.
