We pull Parks and Rec’s Ben Schwartz from the country and bring him into the world of Sklarbro County! Ben talks about having a tough time watching basketball games in real time, filming an episode of House of Lies in a real dildo factory, and witnessing a magical moment in the movie making process. Dan Van Kirk does not disappoint as he brings in crazy stories such as; a wasted Arkansas woman who tries to flee police on a Power Wheels truck, a bidding war for the virginity of a Brazilian sex doll, and a Medford man pretends stolen Somerville beer is his genitals. Plus, we receive a voicemail from Doug Buffone. Appreciate the hat humor on this show!

“I would probably dress up as Marty McFly from Back to the Future.”
Ben Schwartz answering his own question on Comedy Bang Bang, which is one of my favorite episodes. The riffing between Ben Schwartz and Scott Aukerman is gold.

Hey Blastronauts! Jonesin’ for a little ‘berger? Earwolf’s own David Huntsberger is a guest on a little podcast called Doug Loves Movies this week along with Ben Schwartz (who is no virgin when it comes to Earwolf podcasts) and Samm Levine.
If you hunger for games (and a whole lot of Hunger Games discussion) check out David with Doug or fill that little hatch-sized hole in your heart with a few archived episodes of Professor Blastoff to hold you over until they are back with a new episode next week. Cool beers!

Sorry you guys, but we did NOT get Ice Ben Schwartz or Ice Reggie Watts for the podcast this week. You’ll have to settle for their American doppelgangers who join the world-famous Scottabot and the legendary Bjork for a sexy, funny, sexy, musical, sexy episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Pop open a six pack of pudding and enjoy!
Living On A Edge! Ben Schwartz just might be the Jeremy Lin of comedy: He comes from humble beginnings, he’s worked super hard to get where he is now, and he is absolutely killing it right now! Writing movies, stealing scenes on Parks and Recreation and House of Lies and destroying audiences every week at the UCB Theatre, Ben Schwartz is making it happen and we loved him so much we recorded with him two weeks in a row! We also get our second Weekly Wahlberg and a visit from the beloved Racist Vin Scully. It’s the kind of episode you’ll want to inappropriately massage without permission!
