Welcome to the first episode of SHOTS FIRED, a weekly look into what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s weird in the world of hip-hop, hosted by music journalist Jeff Weiss and underground hip-hop star MC Nocando. Today the duo explore the meaning of the word “Fanute” coined by French Montana, talk about the history of Swag Dracula, and discuss the possibility of Nas using ghostwriters. Underground DJ (and co-founder of L.A. hip-hop mainstay The Low End Theory) the Gaslamp Killer drops by to tell us how he met Gonjasufi, describes getting his life together after hitting rock bottom, and plays some tracks off his latest album “Breakthrough.”

After making themselves familiar with this new planet and having some time to prep for the unknown force the Collectors have sent their way arrives, our heroes decide to test out their new gear. Things will get interesting and this time everyone makes sure that Brian doesn’t drift off.

It's 2011, and you're listening to 'Mike Detective' with Rob Huebel! Also, before and after that you are listening to Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast with Scott Aukerman, Patton Oswalt and the aforementioned Mr. Huebel. The gang somberly and respectfully discusses the great phosphorous attack of 2010 before launching into hilarious comedy bits like our newest feature: Alive or Dead. It wouldn't be a Patton Oswalt episode without Star Wars talk, and it would be a shame to have Huebel on without discussing prostate cancer prevention or letting him show off his brilliant foley work. Thanks for listening, and be sure to leave us comments with your catchphrase suggestions and applause videos.

Comedy Bang Bang was a huge event in Los Angeles for years before it became a podcast. Well, this week Scott granted a nation-wide audience to another L.A. comedy hit, The Thrilling Adventure Hour. Enjoy an appearance from Colonel Tick-Tock, and a visit from his modern 'urban' counterpart Michael Crappaport. Guest host Paul Gilmartin does a great job of keepin' up the funny and making everyone wish Dinner and a Movie was less of the movie, more of the hosts.

Adam Scott is a phenomenal comedic actor who proves in this episode that he's hilarious in any medium. He somehow manages to be funny even with the tragedy that is relationship experts James and Cathy McDowell and their neglected son Damian Vast. After they've sufficiently bummed everyone out with their upsetting views on parenting, Chris Fairbanks comes in to close us out with some of the trademark (admin note: don't quote me on that) wit and quickness that makes him such a great stand-up comic.

This is not a prank! We really do have Jenny Slate from SNL and Elizabeth Laime from the Totally Laime Podcast on the show!

The convenience store dinner. We've all had it, but I doubt any of us have made a feast of it the way Bob has. Just listen!

'Weird Al' Yankovic's first appearance on the show was mostly informative. His next visit, mostly humorous. So when Al makes his third appearance, he combines the two and becomes perhaps the most beloved Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast guest. Hear how his career has differed from that of the super-filthy and super-sexy group 'Garfunkel & Oates' who may or may not know about oral sex (according to Riki's mom). Plus, maybe the greatest plugs, and unexpected bathroom break, in Comedy Bang Bang history!

This week, we leave you with a poem telling an important message about self-esteem and respect. As you go about your day today, don't be so hard on yourself!

Zach Galifianakis might be one of the most relaxed performers onstage and is definitely Jeff’s favorite comedian. Zach explains how he bombs more in real life conversations, talks about his relationship with his brother, and tells us the different ways his wife busts his chops. Zach & Jeff also chat about shampoo, bumper stickers, and the positives/negatives of the advancement of technology. It’s the kind of conversation that made Jeff actually rip a chair from laughter.
