Too late to contribute, but check out the Kickstarter for Grimm Fairy Tales anywoo! Visit him at booth #1339 and at this panel at Comickaze 9/15 and 9/16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center! But first… Francis Bilbix. And first first, for our cold open: the very important question from podcast #012 is answered – and the tears are real. * * * Hey – Poubelles will also be at Comikaze on Sunday 9/16 12pm-3pm at the Skellramics booth #1151.

Best-selling author Robert Greene (The 48 Laws of Power, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, et al.) stopped by to discuss his new book Mastery, as well as collaborating with 50 Cent (and us), his rampant ruining of lives, war on Squirrel World, and the required reading within his The Art of Seduction. We were honored to hear exactly what type of Seducers we are (watch out, Victims!) Please note: Bibi promised to edit the interview to make Robert look bad; she failed. Here you go, book-buyers! (Go ahead and pre-order Mastery here.) Read Robert’s blog! Spoiler: in the twintro, us twins announce… we’re going to have a very special announcement. Please don’t try to top that. * * * Upcoming Poubelles: August 9th – Lucha VaVOOM‘s 10th anniversary show August 10th – Marquis et Bibi perform at Hip Kitty

Ever wondered what a chat with Brendon Small (Metalocalypse, Home Movies, general guitar virtuosiness) would sound like without a single mention of gear? Yep, it’s an interview… for the ladies. We gabbed with our pal about creative inspiration, the perils of fandom, his new album Galaktikon, and how to unbreak twins’ hearts. Warning: this podcast is rife with giggles. Metalocalypse season 4 premieres 4/29 at 12:15am on [adult swim]. Galaktikon drops 4/29, too! Visit Brendon’s website to buy your all CDs, MP3s, Hoodies, T-shirts and Vinyls! “Like” Galaktikon at Facebook! And pleeeeease make sure you follow him on Twitters! Hm… for our Bonus Episode this week, how’s about we link to a free download of “On My Way” off the album.

Actor/writer/lovely human being Pat Healy joins us for a heartfelt discussion about horrible times, greater successes and his exquisite taste in film. You’ve already seen him in Magnolia, Ghost World, and ninety-eight other TV shows and movies; you will be seeing him in The Innkeepers and the controversial, 100% “tomato” Compliance. Until then, you may follow him on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. Go ahead, he’s a sweetie. You may also see him LIVE! 3/13 – Blam Blam Blam @ The R Bar 3/22 – The Rudy Casoni Show @ El Cid Oh! And while you’re at it, watch his short film Mullitt! Okay, that’s it. Enjoy the ‘cast.

We’ve hearted Mike O’Connell for his hilarious tunes (which you’ve no doubt heard on Funny Or Die, Jimmy Kimmel and live-on-stage). But we were delighted to find he’s also a purveyor of songs to make you sad. The perfect guest for our Valentine’s show talks private language, (good) poetry, and the intricacies of alter egos. Please try to not fall in love with him too much. Visit www.mikeoconnell.net Watch videos for Asian Babies and What’s It Gonna Be? Purchase his volume of odes entitled Impractical Pocket Poesy here! And finally, something we barely touched on… Mike’s painfully pretty, unrelentingly insane, and ultimately touching film The Living Wake – screening now on Hulu. *** And as for us twins, we’ll see you at Lucha VaVOOM February 14th & 15th, which will look a little like this. Our Valentine’s to you? Bonus Track 008.

Suki Tawdry’s “Valentine’s Day.” Enjoy.

Hilarious and delightful writey-actor Brandon Johnson (NTSF:SD:SUV’s Alphonse, if you mistakenly think you don’t know him) stops by for a chat and a half about Virgoing, his crafty lair, and his questionable past (hint: braids). Watch NTSF:SD:SUV Thursday nights at 12:15AM! And Whoreders on FunnyOrDie.com! And watch him marry some fools at Lucha VaVOOM February 14th! (Or simply enjoy the show on the 15th and 16th.)

Chris Gore (yes, That Chris Gore) – host of G4TV’s DVDuesday, founder of Film Threat, and creator of his own podcast, PodCRASH – stopped by to discuss our mutual passions of portmanteaux, the film “Viva”, and many other amazing things. Check out his PodCRASH and (one of many) Twitter accounts!

It’s Twenty-Twelve y’all, and the world is ending; this jingle’ll help you through it. Happy Pou Year!

We chat with actress/comedienne/burlesque performer Selene Luna (The Cho Show, My Bloody Valentine 3D) about show business, our shared past, and the double-edged sword of being special just for getting born. Selene performs at Akbar on Friday, December 23rd! 4356 W. Sunset Blvd., Silverlake – $5 – 21+ Check out Selene’s links: Official Website! Facebook! Twitter! Watch the Callin It Out video!

Gaseous Weiner. Doctor Rockso. The WWE medic who delivered Mae Young’s hand baby. Sure, he abandoned us in America when his wrestling promotion went belly up, but our adoration for Tommy Blacha remains unmatched. Behind-the-scenes, Kayfabe-breakin’ wrestly talk abounds, nos amis! Hey! G.L.O.W. wasn’t the only lady promotion with its own song – check out the [Bonus Track]! And – he is in possession of a lovely dog named Maggie who needs a new home! Photo below! Email for info! Watch… Tommy and the hand baby in action! The return of the Gaseous Weiner!

1 Tommy Blacha + 2 Poubelles = the dopest theme song ever. (Synth skillz provided by Mark Rivers, Man of Music)

You know him from “The Venture Brothers”; you love him from “Intern”. The Poubelle Twins welcome their first official guest Mr. James Urbaniak for a discussion about his work, his life, and his days as a music producer for the twins’ single “Banana Frosting” in early ’90s New York (as heard in the 003 Bonus Track!) Keep up with Mr. Urbaniak on Twitter and Tumblr. See James and the Poubelles Wednesday December 7th, 8pm at The Rudy Casoni Show @ Steve Allen Theater
