Website title is wrong when sharing link on facebook, or liking website

Ever since adding the code for facebook like buttons and the meta tags, my website now has a problem when being shared on facebook. If you put the link "http://podawful.com" into facebook it comes up with the title being "Derp" instead of "Pod Awful".

I have no idea why. "derp" is nowhere in my code. This sounds so stupid, but its true. Any help?

website for reference:

http://podawful.com
