My god this episode is a mess. If you tuned in last week we mentioned that this week's episode was being recorded immediately after last week's and wouldn't be live this week but would be available for download at the usual 3pm/PT on Monday. Make sense? Anyway, putting two shows together in a single week when you barely have time to put together one is not wise. But I gave it the ol' college try. I may have flunked out.
Then I started thinking just before writing this... maybe I should stop pointing out when we do a sucky show. You the listener may not even pick up on it. After all, they all suck, right? HA HA HA! Joking aside, I'm on the fence as to whether this is the worst episode we've ever done. Probably not. We did have some fun, and skimming through it we were laughing a lot. The rundown was pretty scarce and toward the end Dennis started sweatin' me over the time pointing at his wrist. Usually I'm sad when the closing music cues, but tonight I, and the fellas were relieved. We'd done it. We'd stretched like crazy, and me, having only gotten two hours of sleep the night before - remember this was recorded last week, that's why it's mentioned on that show too - I was ready to go home and lose consciousness.
So the train-wreck-of-a-show we have this week includes the following... confirmation came in that another VACATION movie is in the works. As of now, it's called VACATION. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are going to appear in the film as Clark and Ellen Griswald. I say 'appear' because it's unclear how big of a role they'll have as the film will focus on Rusty, their son, as he takes his own family on a road trip across the country which includes a stop at his parents' place. Now that there's another headed our way, we wonder, what's your favorite VACATION movie? It's our poll question this week.
So, lets say you're unsure you can pass an upcoming drug test for reasons that are your own business. What are you to do? You'll be glad you tuned into this week's episode, because we've got an elaborate, expensive and semi-realistic solution sure to complicate the shit - or piss in this case - out of the whole process. A guy was busted during a drug test after the parole officer administering it noticed something a little odd about the guy's dick. It looked a little plastic; because it was. You see, the guy was using a device called The Whizzinator. You can take a look for yourself in the Show Links. As always, we here at Who Asked You? are happy to bring you a dick story of some sort and this one is a stretch. This device comes complete with a pouch to hold real or fake urine (fake urine powder packet included) and straps around your waist via Velcro. That pouch feeds a tube that is inside a simple flaccid penis you whip out to fool your parole officer. It even includes a heat packet for the fake stuff so you get that realistic temperature. Wait until you hear what happened to the guy who invented the thing and what it's being sold as now.
We're back on Jenkem Watch with a question you may have thought of in the past. Can we eat our own poop? After we hear the surprising answer from some scientists and a doctor, we discuss scenarios where this could be a real dilemma and whether or not we would if forced into the situation. Would you?
And the poopy-puns run wild with a second story in Jenkem Watch about a novelty gag that tortured court employees for nearly two weeks. We fill a little airtime with the usual juvenile ad-libbing.
Then we hear from a douche bag on YouTube who thinks we all have flabby bodies and repulsive nipples. Is this guy for real? Or is he just doing this to get his views up on YouTube?
And in Breaking News we question the morality of the latest Powerball Jackpot winner. He won $338-million, one of the biggest in the history of the lottery. However, he owes $29,000 in back child support. State law where he lives says those back payments will be taken out of his winnings. But the question is, should he have been spending money, no matter how little, on lottery tickets in the first place? But at the same time, had he not won Powerball, he wouldn't have the money to pay it all. Is this one of those chicken and the egg type scenarios?
And in an attempt to fill the final minutes of the show we violate copyright law (I'll claim Fair Use) with "Stuff from the 90s," a song by a musical sketch comedy group called Pop Roulette. Check out their Facebook Page and the music video in our Show Links. Before you listen to the show, can you guess who got us on the topic of growing up in the 90s? Find out if you're right at the end of the show!
Whew! Writing this wasn't as painful as the show. Maybe I'm overreacting? Maybe it's not as bad as I think. Maybe you guys don't even notice when we're struggling? Perhaps I should just stop mentioning the bad shows. Naw... we're all about the truth here. We call out Michael Bay and the rest of the shit out there. It's only fair we do it with ourselves too.
