GUYS, WATCH CLIP CUP

It's been five long months since "Weird Al" Yankovic last left his mark on Comedy Bang Bang. In that time he has released his highest charting album to date with Alpocalypse and he's in studio to discuss the recording of the album as well as his worst gig ever and his nerdy relationship with groupies. It's been even longer since Dame Sir Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber flounced his way into the show, and thank God he's here to once again jazz up the Would You Rather theme song and offer up parody ideas to Al. If you haven't yet, be sure to read How The Bread Is Made, Scott's blog series about the making of Comedy Bang Bang.

I wouldn't be there I'm at (in a lot of ways) if it wasn't for your compassion, Jeff. I'm glad you're still in my life even out of a professional sense. We've been lucky to have you! -Caroline

Fairly outdated information. There is a great part in this article when they talk about rat's desire for sexual pleasure. There are others, that's just the first that came to mind. There is also this from the 2006 Danish Animals Ethics Council Report: Even though the evolution-related purpose of mating can be said to be reproduction, it is not actually the creating of offspring which originally causes them to mate. It is probable that they mate because they are motivated for the actual copulation, and because this is connected with a positive experience. It is therefore reasonable to assume that there is some form of pleasure or satisfaction connected with the act. This assumption is confirmed by the behaviour of males, who in the case of many species are prepared to work to get access to female animals, especially if the female animal is in oestrus, and males who for breeding purposes are used to having sperm collected become very eager, when the equipment they associate with the collection is taken out. There is nothing in female mammals' anatomy or physiology that contradicts that stimulation of the sexual organs and mating is able to be a positive experience. For instance, the clitoris acts in the same way as with women, and scientific studies have shown that the success of reproduction is improved by stimulation of clitoris on (among other species) cows and mares in connection with insemination, because it improves the transportation of the sperm due to contractions of the inner genitalia. This probably also concerns female animals of other animal species, and contractions in the inner genitals are seen e.g. also during orgasm for women. It is therefore reasonable to assume that sexual intercourse may be linked with a positive experience for female animals.

YES!

It's the summertime, so tell us your favorite awful summer movies for us to watch while the sun is out!

I do too, and I don't have all that much (other than a hobby that makes me sublimely happy, a job that brings me tears or joy, and a network of friends who I love more than anything else).

We’re remembering all sorts of memories on Totally Laime today! Scott Aukerman of Comedy Bang! Bang! on IFC stops by to share stories of his biggest relationship faux pas and Andy reveals a brand new family secret to Elizabeth. Let Scott set you straight on how to avoid bad dates and learn the meaning behind “Grandpa Pigeons.” Be a good girl and listen. Enjoy!

SO GLAD JACOB IS ON!!!! Now that one quarter of John Velvet has been on the show, I hope more of them will show up!

Welcome to the first episode of The Fogelnest Files! Jake Fogelnest has scoured the Internet and his personal archives for cool stuff to show you. This first episode was recorded live at UCBEAST as part of the CBGB Festival with special guests Julie Klausner and Chris Gethard! Jake, Julie, and Chris have a civilized discussion about Punk rock by watching a series of clips which include; a tape faced Sex Pistols fan, Jello Biafra explaining the Beastie Boys to Oprah, an infomercial for a hardcore Punk CD compilation, The Ramones on Regis and Kathie Lee, and FEAR’s legendary performance on “Saturday Night Live.” Tweens enter at your own risk.

If a show is up on the Earwolf site, it means it's been pushed out to the feeds (including iTunes). If there are feed issues, alert the Earwolf staff so they can investigate where the problem is happening.

I'm a fan of this one.

Lupe Fiasco's Yoga Flame also namechecks Zach.

SO HAPPY THEUNE WAS ON! He's one of my absolute favorite improvisers on the planet. If you live in LA and don't already, make a point to see Bangarang whenever they're on Harold night. A better time cannot be had.

It should work now! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I'm not a dad, am I still allowed to do one? 1. I'm grateful for a mother who is so endlessly supportive of me and what I do. 2. I'm grateful that I'm getting to spend my time EXACTLY the way I want to spend it. 3. I'm grateful to live in a city that offers me endless opportunities to have fun. 4. I'm grateful that in living here 10 short months, I already have a handful of friends who I would do anything for. 5. I'm grateful for a job that makes me excited to get out of bed in the mornings.

Oh what, you mean https://twitter.com/carolineeand ? #ShamelessPlug

Should work now. Thanks!

Who Charted would work now. I just checked Sklarbro County and it should be working. Can you let me know what others aren't working? And you aren't an asshole, it's good that you're bringing this to our attention.

Could you guys let me know if it works now? I tried to fix it. Let me know.

I should take this opportunity to tell you about The Chris Gethard Show, seeing as it's my favorite thing on the planet. Shannon is the sometimes co-host, always guest. And yeah, she's bonkers good.

I can't figure out how to embed FOD videos, but all you Paul Rust fans MUST watch this deep cut: Dumbshits!

About three weeks ago my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. It's been a pretty scary, stressful, often painful few weeks. That is to say, this episode came at exactly the right time for me and upped my optimism by about 90%.

You are in for a treat today! Rich Eisen is here and he is as great a candidate for Sklarbro citizenship as you’d imagine! He tells us about his experiences doing stand-up in college. He talks about the early days of Sports Center. He predicts the future of Tim Tebow. He laments the poor decisions of Michael Bolton. He’s more multi-talented than a juggling triathlete, and you guys will love hearing all about his fascinating life. Plus, you love Weekly Wahlberg, so why not invite Mark to sit down with us for an extended look at his brother, his burgers, and his biceps.
