with Scott Aukerman
August 18, 2014
Howard Kremer & Kulap Vilaysack of the fellow Earwolf podcast Who Charted? are both here with separate amazing projects to share with us as well as the return of intern Gino Lambardo on today’s Comedy Bean Bag! After Gino gives us his take on what’s been going on with The Opie and Anthony Show, Howard tells us all about his brand new album “Summah This, Summah That” which is the 3rd album of his Have A Summah series. Then, Kulap shares the story behind her documentary Origin Story, which is a feature-length, international quest with stops in Los Angeles, Minnesota, and Laos to meet the biological father she never knew. Plus, Howard, Kulap, & Gino decide between summoning velociraptors when they sneeze or having a partner who posts public reviews of their sexual performances online as they play a game of Would You Rather!
Be sure to check out the new trailer for Kulap’s documentary, Origin Story at http://www.originstorydoc.com/, and support the project by going to it’s Indiegogo fundraising page: igg.me/at/originstorydoc.
