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.

Hey Laimewads! Woohoo! We are in the final two of the Earwolf Challenge – the first reality podcast competition to win a contract with Earwolf!

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!

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!

We are joined by advice columnist Amy Alkon this week to discuss manners. That doesn’t mean holding-up-your-pinky type etiquette, but giving-an-appropriate-hug style niceness. Whether it’s a time thief on the phone, a chair hog on a plane, or a non-waver in traffic, you’ll learn how to set boundaries and live happier despite our evolutionary predispositions. Never have an awkward telemarketer situation again!

A cup of coffee with Ty Burrell.

On a hot summer day, what could be better than chilling out with a bunch of bros? Nothing, that’s what! Rob Delaney, Jimmy Pardo, and Paul Rust join Scott for the ultimate Comedy Bang Bang chill sesh. They play some games, chat about some hot topics, and participate in other bro activities (brotivities, if you will). Grab some bros of your own, and dig in!

Our top three competitors have been given their biggest assignment yet: One hour to interview Zach Galifianakis as part of an editing challenge. Too bad it isn’t going to happen. This week we test our challengers on their ability to bounce back after a guest cancellation in a short amount of time. Listen in today to hear Matt “coach” the podcasters through the most important hour of their life, and join us tomorrow to hear their Time Crunch submissions with guest judges Dave Anthony and Matt Belknap.

First crushes, dogs, and daughters  are up for discussion with – widely considered to be one of the two nicest people in Hollywood* – TV’S ANDY DALY!! Would you look at those dimples? He keeps us laughing and is somehow able to maintain his dignity, even as we try to ruin him with a discussion about cockdocking. ENJOY!(*Listen to find out who the other person is!)

Ronna suspects Beverly’s summer cold is actually karaoke-induced laryngitis. The ladies talk to comedian Jon Daly about Ed Hardy, marijuana, and his upcoming podcast Sappity Tappity the Drunken Tree.

While many of our guests are sports fans, very few have the compelling insight of Mr. Kevin Pollak. He brings to the calming shores a deep Giants fandom and some unbelievable personal stories from Sugar Ray Leonard. The inside baseball doesn’t stop there as Racist Vin Scully visits us hot on the heels of his major announcement. For the non-sports fans in the audience, we’ve got news from Snooki, George Lucas, and posts from the Facebook wall of Ronald McDonald. Be on the look-out for Hendersons and Daughters (out on September 13th and currently available for pre-order), and go punch a waterfall!
