Going Terribly

After three weeks of Taiwan talk, Alice and Doug are back to their regularly scheduled programming. Which, this week includes “It Went Terribly!”

Which, this month, includes…plenty of Taiwan talk.

Whoops.

Alice comes in hot this week, mocking Doug’s video game choices. But by the end she’s humbled via an unexpectedly stolen segment that concludes with an animal that’s potentially become her greatest rival.

Doug’s probably just headed back to play Brotato.

Other discussion topics may include:

- The infamous case of Dicky v Dyke

- When will they finally release a record player for cars?

- Looking straight up like a dead, raw chicken

- Why fewer and fewer people are being ear poisoned now

- Is syphilis the greatest pox?

This week Alice finishes her tale of visiting Taipei with stories of chasing down English birth certificates, visiting IKEA, and, of course, using eastern toilets.

Doug contributes a new game involving celebrity birthdays, explains why putting “Little” before a name upsets him, and has a hot take about…yes, toilets. 

Other discussion topics may include:

- Childish Cardiac Arrests

- How to stuff an ottoman in an overheard compartment

- College nickname: Stares Forever

- You don’t judge a man by the size of his pox

- Should we get rid of urinals?

It’s time for Part Two of Alice’s Taipei Trip Trilogy. 

During this episode Alice tells Doug and listeners all about the weeklong funeral of her beloved aunt. Doug has a hard time wrapping his head around some customs with which he is not familiar. 

This is actually a very nice episode about mortality, customs, and family that can educate a lot of us. But hopefully just light and juvenile enough for a typical Going Terribly audience.

In loving memory of Gloria.

Alice took a big trip to Taiwan this past week, and she's back just in time to tell everyone about it.

Except that she and Doug don't get around to doing that because the trip back home took a day and a half and was filled with schedule disturbance after schedule disturbance. And, really, that's bonkers on its own.

So that'll be this episode. Wanna hear about the Taipei trip? Maybe come back next week. Wanna hear some crazy tales while just trying to make it home? Well, boy, are you in luck!

Other discussion topics may include:

- Families who fly united or not at all

- Can you poison someone in the ear?

- When your luggage has business in a different city than your destination

- A push for street view night time photos

- Baby delivering bus drivers

This week on Going Terribly, Doug and Alice discuss some ice cream dishes that even they wouldn’t eat.

Or, well, you’d think so. But Alice seemed strangely into a couple. Cold gravy on ice cream? She’s into it somehow.

Elsewhere, can you distinguish Harlequin romance novels from old classic records? We’ll see if Alice can.

Most important, it’s “It Went Terribly” week, which means it’s the one episode per month where you can actually (sort of) learn some stuff!

Other discussion topics may include:

- Hal O’Ween: Who’s that dude?- Did you know Dylan and Cole Sprouse are twins?

- Oscar the Grouch's consistently delicious sardine ideas

- How many fonts can you name?

- Songs about crushes on friends' grandmothers

Alice and Doug are back from an Indonesian fueled trip to Indianapolis (Indonesapolis?), followed by a Canadian themed get together. It’s been some international weekend. 

Plus, Alice had two brushes with American Girl Doll fate. It doesn’t end exactly how one might think, but it does end mighty happily!

And Doug is still really into Huey Lewis and the News. And jokes about meat.*

Other discussion topics may include:

- Circumcised candy corn

- Pointy fragrances

- Sucking chocolate off a Milky Way to improve one’s onions

- The abject horror of the durian

- Sharing more of your meat than you planned (*see?)

Another annual Nation Alice Cream Day ice cream crawl has come and gone, and Doug and Alice are still around to tell the tale.

What hijinks did the group get up to? What flavors and creations did they get their grubby little mouths around? Did all of the 30+ participants make it out alive?

Find out the answers to all these questions and more in this week’s dairy-fueled episode.

Other discussion topics may include:

- Good old family fun vs. porn

- If you see a clown get hit by a car, do you laugh?

- Digsey, the Disney knockoff

- Main Street: Vertical vs. Horizontal

- Dairy Potter and the Deathly Marshmallows

Alice and Doug just finished a heavy weekend of yard saling and record shopping. And now they’re ready for their heavy weekend of creaming.

Er.

It's the seventh annual National Ice Cream Day ice cream crawl!

Yes, it’s just about time for the greatest time of the year. A day to enjoy all the tastiness that Ronald Reagan would have wanted us to. It’s true.

Other discussion topics may include:

- Why doesn’t anybody talk about how great Marie Osmond is?

- Farting “regular amounts”

- The sad part in a romance novel when the dog dies

- What if one of the Hansons left Hanson?

- The various health benefits of contrast therapy that can benefit your health and wellness in a beneficial manner

Alice and Doug spent America’s 250th birthday watching a murder movie, saving a queen, and eating Japanese food. They also visited the animals they'd just eaten because the circle of life is really weird sometimes.

They also got a boat over the weekend! But it's not as exciting as it sounds*

Plus, what if you’re driving a train and you’re about to hit a person? What do you do? Find out now!

Other discussion topics may include:

- Pancake race lore

- Geena Davis: Beetlejuice Creature

- Dead skin snacks

- Fake aquarium trains

- Is it hard to gently use two fingers?

*...or is it?

They said it couldn't be done. They said "But how could you?" They said "But why would you?" They said "NO, SERIOUSLY, WHO'D EVEN WANT YOU TO?!"

But it finally happened. Going Terribly has reached 300 episodes!

Even this week's special guest Kevin Roach immediately questions the achievement. But he also claims to have a boner ghost in his apartment, so who asked him anyway?

Kevin joins Alice and Doug to rock some of Going Terribly's greatest hits and more juvenile humor than you could shake a "stick" at. Here's to 300 more episodes of barely growing up.

Other discussion topics may include:

- Mummy gut bread

- Shark Dad

- Holy fallopian tubes

- Stoned dolphins

- Definitely not a bag full of drugs

You know, the usual.
