Going Terribly

This week Alice and Doug celebrate the city of Pensecola, kinda. But what they really do is get nostalgic about kindergarten (and even preschool!). There’s also some mind-bending talk about dreams and a potential origin story for Doug’s mental health issues. And did you know Rome wasn’t *actually* founded by battling brothers who were raised by a wild animal? History, man. Other discussion topics...

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. Plus...how well do you know your state capitals? If you're like these two, the answer is "Pretty well, but not nearly as well as you think." Other discussion topics may include: -...

In this week's episode, Alice and Doug spit some apocrafacts at you, the likes of which you've never seen. There's seagulls and Metallica and eugenics and Andy Richter. You'll have a pretty full plate on your hands here, folks. And if you live in a certain northern Ohio town, boy do we have a great surprise for you. Other discussion topics may include: - Decorating with dirty under...

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. Meanwhile, Doug wonders what might have been if he’d only owned a pair of shorts in his teen years. Also, he recently read a lot about John Wayne Gacy and Shirley Temple Black, and is feeling kind of distu...

Alice and Doug are here to celebrate Women’s History Month! Fingers crossed this goes well. Other discussion topics may include: - Carly Rae Jepsen would never kill anyone, right? - Improving the ambiance at the White House - Was architecture invented in 1918? - Giving one’s hats different personalities - The importance of normalizing girls asking guys out, because the guy can be really creepy

Alice and Doug have returned from a long-belated anniversary day trip where they had plenty of steak and visited plenty of unique shops. Maybe 25, and possibly 36. And why does Doug have a plastic fork in his pocket? Actually, we may never know. Other discussion topics may include: - The Fast and the Courteous - Drinks that might have mushroom aftertastes - How to trick people into thinking you’re...

Alice and Doug just returned from a St. Louis girls’ trip that Doug crashed. But it went really well, full of culture, art, and vegan Indian cuisine.  Then they talked about the difference between sucking and licking for awhile. It’s not what you think, but it’s not much better. Other discussion topics may include: - Have you been unknowingly eating 130-year old candy? - A legitimate lesson on pre...

This week Alice and Doug recap their very beautiful Valentine’s weekend, full of friends, great food, very thoughtful presents, and their love for each other. Don’t worry, folks. While that might sound mushy, there are plenty of juvenile fart jokes in the episode. Other discussion topics may include: Classic rom com The Ten Commandments Squeak Week Can girls be detectives? Cappin’ deez nuts Which...

This week Alice and Doug welcome back Wendy Brown for Valentine’s shenanigans.  Wendy recites an article about murder and heartbreak. Doug teaches us about VDs. And Alice prepares to get her backdoor penetrated. It’s quite the Valentine, folks.  Also, have you ever played FMKBKB? You may want to after hearing this. Other discussion topics may include: - Losing one’s meatball along with a noodle -...

In Doug’s annual attempt to get someone from Soul Asylum to listen to the podcast, there’s a brief game centered around their song titles. Is “Gullible’s Travels” a real Soul Asylum song? Only one way to find out.* Meanwhile, Alice finds that she now has three or four new old ice skating shows to watch in the future. If she can ever tear herself away from enjoying all the world’s fonts. Other disc...

Have Doug and Alice been chortling wrong? What’s the difference between “British” and “English?” Do some writers defeat the vice of heavy drinking by instead…eating babies? These all so many more questions will be raised, half answered, questioned again, and then quickly dismissed in this week’s episode of Going Terribly. Join the fun. Have some sausages. 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...

Let’s talk about poop, baby. Let’s talk about you and me.  ...and poop. This week Alice and Doug consider what they’d do for money, share their Christmas gifts, and, perhaps most importantly, discuss some really crappy factoids. And Doug will still not diagnose Alice’s incessant flatulence. Get ready for plenty of jenkem, vagus nerves, and dung beetles in this one, folks.  Other discussion topics...

Alice has gotten so crafty lately! She’s settled in nicely to her half old lady/half little kid era.  Meanwhile, Doug dabbles in mimery while pining for a well crafted sandwich.  Also, it’s the 32nd anniversary of the (obviously unfortunate) Nancy Kerrigan assault. Doug and Alice talk about it for a bit, even noting the date of the attack.  And it never even occurs to them that it was on this very...

In the last episode of the year, Alice and Doug welcome Jeremy Brailsford to the show.  It’s an episode of stress tests, (somewhat) current events, resolutions, and … more animal-related band names than you can shake a stick at. It’s a long one! So toss on a diaper and settle in. Enjoy the show! Other discussion topics may include: - Choppin the corgi - IBPOOPN - Can you make eyeballs out of gall...

First time guest Mark Atchison joins Doug and Alice this week to share holiday cheer!

Other discussion topics may include: - Using the elements to play God - Gag reflexes - Is it okay to name your daughter Doughnut? - Drool marks - Please, Daddy....

Doug has had some really weird dreams about Alice lately. Read that however you'd like, but you don't know the half of it until you listen to this episode. Plus, celebrate the 100th birthday of living legend song and dance man, Dick Van Dyke! And are Alice and Doug going to get a pet tamarin...? Other discussion topics include: - The 1940s weren't ready for homo sapiens - Hot take: Is...

Doug and Alice had a plumbing issue this past week. But while that might have been pretty crappy (heh), let's focus on the more fun parts of life - such as Alice's radio play coming up this weekend! Or Doug sharing news on new snacks everyone can go out and try! Or the fact that nobody had to poop in a litter box this past week! It truly is the season to be thankful. Other discussion topic...

It's time for two months worth of It Went Terribly! And boy, is it ever a-propro in this one. Doug shares a story about an NBA player who loved (in absolutely no particular order) chicken wings, naked women, and his deceased grandfather - all set against the backdrop of the global COVID pandemic. And Alice shares a list of her favorite soccer movies from the 2000s, plus educates us all on the...

'Tis the season to be thankful. And Doug and Alice sure try their absolute hardest. But why should you be thankful for manufacturers? For injuries? For...ears? Also, Alice is hooked on this new series she's been watching - cyber security training videos. So there's that. Other discussion topics may include: - Gigantic, small dangling spiders - How to fight off a case of Hepburn - The c...

Is Alice autotuned this episode? Or is her voice just all mangled due to a recent illness? And, if the latter, *should* we have autotuned her? Elsewhere, hear about how Alice and Doug almost kinda potentially could have sorta possibly considered getting another cat (maybe). But they apparently already have a pet radioactive spider, so that should be good for now. Other discussion topics may includ...

Yesterday was Alice's birthday! And, for the occasion, Doug has conjured up an exciting, brand new, absolutely-not-inspired-by-anything-else-ever game! Get ready for: Alice Shen: This Has Been Your Life So Far! Other discussion topics may include: - How long do you wear your favorite pair of underwear? - How to dodge the ram people - Is your butter for Ramadan? - Stop hitting old people with y...

Alice and Doug have just returned from a surprise early birthday trip out of town. They've come back with stories of food, a 40th anniversary celebration, and a what-might-have-been involving an "adult playground." It's also National Candy Day, and...have you ever noticed how suggestive some candy slogans sound? Well, you're about to. Other discussion topics may include: - A...
