Going Terribly

So, where were we?  Alice and Doug pick up where they left off last week with some more much needed educating on topics such as “What are the grossest words in the English language?” and “Why does Hostess make all their cakes sound filthy?” There’s also a reveal that, believe it or not, Going Terribly is in the top 0.05% of a particular statistic in ALL of podcasts. It’s actually pretty cool to be...

It's National Mad Hatter Day! A celebration of...when people would wear hats filled with mercury and start going a little bit crazy? Maybe? Alice and Doug clearly have their hats on in this episode because it gets weird in a hurry. But they also seek to educate this week with the monthly "It Went Terribly" segment. Whether they are successful or not is anyone's guess, but the att...

Alice and Doug recently celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival by shopping for and carefully preparing authentic Chinese dishes.  But first, they celebrated National Cheeseburger Day by sitting at a burger joint for over an hour waiting for a Handful of Gentlemen (ahem) to present them with their meals.  It’s all about experiencing a variety of cultures.  Like, pirates are in here, too. You’ll see. Other...

SIX YEARS.  This podcast has had a new episode every single Tuesday for SIX YEARS. Can you believe it?  This time around, Doug and Alice welcome returning guest William (will.he.is) and first-time guest Stephanie Osborne (FINALLY) to the podcast for games, chit chats, and jolly good times.  And neither of them brings anything iron on this, the Iron Anniversary. Again, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Still a g...

To celebrate yesterday's National Video Games Day, Doug and Alice play "Is This a Game To You?" To celebrate yesterday's National Day of Encouragement, they're a little extra nice to each other. Even if Alice doesn't like linguine, pizza, or a certain Bedrockian children's vitamin. And even if Doug has too many hot takes about vegan food lines. To celebrate today, the...

Alice has a band gig coming up this weekend and also has another musical announcement to make on this week's episode! Here's a hint: it rhymes with Dorkestra. Doug takes us on a flavor parade through the streets of New Yum City, featuring blueberries, chicken, and...cottage cheese(?) in weird places. Other discussion topics may include: - Banana bread lovers : are they ew? - Concert pianis...

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 greate...

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...

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 f...

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...

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 epis...

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...

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 to...

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: -...

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...

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...

Alice is back from a week away in Cincinnati, and she and Doug are determined to get this episode right. It may take them a few tries, but they’re going to get it, so please hang with them. Alice is bound to be a bit tired since she just finished scoring 1,600 essays. And Doug’s been very busy being not nearly as educated or well read. But he did just learn how to “exasturbate,” so that’s somethin...

It's an unplanned tribute to New Orleans! The history, the culture, the sites! - You won't find any mention of any of that here. Instead Alice and Doug chat about Mardi Gras penises, drunk actors, and librarians who...love...books. It's really just like any other episode, only with a decided Nawlins flavor. Other discussion topics may include: - Why is cartography still a discipline? -...

Alice, Doug, Eureka, and Hoover have returned from a week-long trip to visit Mrs. Shen. They had lots of meals - some long, some plentiful, and some of just desserts. So that part was a lot like home. They also visited some fun new museums, a waterfall, and saw…a vase of corn dogs? It was a real winner, and you can hear all about it in this episode. Though Doug didn’t get to see any dinosaurs. Oth...

Yesterday was National Game Show Day, so today Doug and Alice celebrate the only way they know - by playing a super dumb game worth absolutely zero prizes. But along the way you might just learn something about sundials, sister cities, and midwifery.  But that’s Alice’s part. Doug is really stuck on the more immature game stuff like toilet buttons and cow turd cakes. Alex Trebek and Bob Barker are...

This week’s episode is all about debate. How will Alice and Doug’s relationship hold up after some devastating arguments? And how will the devastating arguments hold up when it turns out they’re pretty darn silly to argue about?  Also, in a real “What are we, really?” moment, Google’s AI summary explains Going Terribly to Going Terribly. It’s pretty wild. For real, though. Is cereal a soup? The ba...

The past two weekends Doug and Alice made a couple of fun trips out of town for very different theatrical experiences. But now they're back and ready to tell you all about the splash zones and crunchy gushers. Plus, ever wondered what Alice thinks of the Britney Spears classic film "Crossroads?" Now's your chance to find out. Other Discussion Topics May Include: - Does God live i...

This week Alice and Doug welcome Nick “Atlantic City” Gonzalez back to the show for games and shenanigans. Nick lets us all in on an embarrassing and painful childhood story involving a very sensitive area. He’s also subjected to some troubling thoughts about pies, beach flatulence, and…giraffe snakes? And his only reward? Some three-day old doughnuts. It truly is Going Terribly. Other discussion...

Alice and Doug have a lot of knowledge to impart, and most of it is shocking, even to them! The English language is super unpredictable. Have we been using words wrong? Or are the dictionaries wrong? There's plenty to tackle here. Literally. Also, who would play Doug and Alice in Going Terribly: The Movie? Other discussion topics may include: - Jimmy Stewart was really good in Donnie Darko - W...

Alice has officially entered her Soft Girl Era. It's all cross stitching all the time now. But luckily she and Doug still had enough time to record this episode full of school bus stories and semi-recent semi-decent news! Also, there's a really cool Rosetta Stone story. Spoiler: Alice is kinda famous! Other discussion topics may include: - Smart underwear - How to still be illin' even...
