This week, we all agree to never give up, never surrender, and always watch Galaxy Quest! Plus, we get caught up with all of the Hollywood happenings and recite all of the Star Trek movies.
"How to Train Your Dragon 2" is getting a new gay character! Plus, being a wedding guest costs more than $500 per wedding now! It's hard to believe. As hard to believe as Gwyneth Paltrow in "Seven." And finally prepare yourself for the legend of Throwing Shade's latest inspiration - FREDDY BELL JONES!
Poet Jon Dore joins us to talk Alan Thicke, horse people, and of course, poems.
Our first guest on Song Exploder is Jimmy Tamborello, aka Dntel, aka one half of The Postal Service (the other half being Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie). Jimmy breaks down "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight," and talks about his instruments, his influences, and how he accidentally made a loop out of Jenny Lewis's backing vocals.
This week on Sawbones, Dr. Sydnee and Justin are stealing your grandpa's body and selling it on the open market to celebrate their history of corpse theft.
David Koechner, Jason Biggs, Ilana Glazer, Joe Lo Truglio and Sasheer Zamata tell uncensored true stories about big surprises.
Biz and Theresa admit we're sometimes in a rut. In fact, as moms we've been in almost every kind of rut there is (other than PODCASTING RUT, obvi). The question is how to get out of them? We propose inventing a new rut that's actually an enjoyable place to be. Plus, Biz gets a free car wash, Theresa discovers a fifth food group called "fruit leathers," and we chat with singer-songwriter (and new mom) Jill Barber, who shares her secret for switching gears between loving mommy and live musician.
Ross and Carrie giggle for three days straight when they join the delightfully odd world of laughter yoga. Accompany them to a gibberish party, a laughter yoga phone meeting, and a laughter yoga concert. Extra points to anyone who can get through 10 minutes without giggling.
We're back! And better than ever! Arguably. Well, okay; we're batting about average. Well, maybe Justin's a little rusty, and Griffin's a bit down, and maybe Travis recorded using an old-timey gramophone. But still - we're back!
The Glowing Orbs
French Stewart (@French Stewart) joins the ladies to discuss Dustin Hoffman, staycations, Mittens the Kitten, Fresno, Clamato, Fart Wars and more! Produced by David Janove, intern Kailey Godoy, theme song by Zach Ames.
Nancy brings the case against her friend Becky. They are both veterinarians. Nancy lives out in the country, and owns a herd of Shetland ponies. She says the ponies act as ponies do, and are perfectly fine just as they are. Becky says Nancy's ponies are ill-mannered. Who's right? Who's wrong? Only one man can decide.
Fan favorite Maria Bamford joins Jordan and Jesse for a discussion of Jordan's new possible nickname, Maria's community building, survival stories and everyone performs a special version of the national anthem.
Find out about the rude image currently branded on British Milkybars, whether Phill will finally make his sexual switch and why Back to the Future III was a truly ground-breaking film.
Kim & Jasper discuss their favorite villains from television & film. Kim highlights the dos & donts of villain fashion and The Goosedown introduces a new game "Name That Villain".
No movie has sexualized pastry so much since American Pie, yet somehow Labor Day is even less erotic than Jason Biggs balls-deep in apple filling. Meanwhile Stuart does some brilliant voice work, Dan loves the versatility of DVDs, and Elliott regales the world with Tales of Ruck.
We’re continuing our Oregon Inventors series with stories about inventors who have done some pretty amazing things before even graduating from high school. From cats to semiconductors, these very motivated teenagers were inspired to tackle a variety of challenges. And, for the most part, they did it on their own.
Episode 84 of Dave Hill's Podcasting Incident brings the thunder from down under as I report from my temporary yet palatial apartment in Melbourne, Australia where I am melting faces at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Get cozy as I talk about jetlag and its effects on the human spirit, my butt, and much, much more. I also read aloud from my popular book Tasteful Nudes for the first time ever on a podcast. I know. I can't believe it either. As if all of that is not enough, I also repeatedly encourage you to donate to Maximum Fun, check in with my secretary Shaina Feinberg, and allow Ian Ball to bring the heat once again with his Hot Jamz from London.
Hello Buddies! Welcome to our show! This week we take on the looming danger of Electro-Magnetic Pulses! How do you prepare? How do you survive? How do you deal with robots as a female president? Where can you stock up on affordable and delicious cheesecakes for post-apocalyptic pig outs? All these answers and more on this episode! Welcome and we love you!
Hello babies! This week we are beyond thrilled to be joined by comedian, actor and all around hero Paul F. Tompkins! Paul joins us to discuss anger issues, men's fashion and the inevitability of death! Not to mention Dancing Mania and Paul's dislike of idiots in the past!
