Going Terribly

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...

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.

Spoiler: Alice is kinda famous! Other discussion topics may include: - Smart underwear - How to still be illin' even...

This week Alice and Doug celebrate the city of Pensecola, kinda. But what they really do is get nostalgic about kindergarten (and even preschool!).

Mrs. Shen finally came to visit! This week Alice and Doug recount the week that was, full of gloriously authentic Chinese meals, unexpected feline affection, and a very entertaining virtual reality session.

You’re on a rollercoaster. Would you rather have an emergency poop or an emergency vomit? No, this isn’t a rerun. Yes, Doug and Alice bring back this very important question 285 episodes after the last time. Does that mean there is a finite number of topics two people can discuss? Nah. They just like talking about poop. Other discussion topics may include: - Joining a movement to stop Daylight Sav...

Have we, as a society, oversaturated on flavors? That's Alice's theory, as Doug presents another edition of New Yum City. But then again she also spends some time explaining why bronze medals are better than silver medals, so it's tough to say what should be believed. Also, Doug has a nut stuck in his throat, so sorry about that. Other discussion topics may include: - Easter flavored foods - South...

This week Alice uncovers a possible conspiracy against her involving cell phone apps, AI videos, and a prankster of a shower drain. Additionally, she’s been to Bosnia, in case you weren’t aware.

If she can ever tear herself away from enjoying all the world’s fonts. Other disc...

Other discussion topics may include: - Inv...

It’s Doug’s birthday this Friday, and Alice has brought him a special gift. What follows, somehow, is more flatulence than a podcast should be entitled to.  Skeet Ulrich’s birthday also lends itself to plenty of immaturity, so a huge thank you to his parents for having him.  Other discussion topics may include: - Favorite cartoon dogs - Henry Winkler’s unreleased duet with Miley Cyrus - How to pay...
