Antoine Dodson Bed Intruder Costume

This show is a stretch. It seems like the more you plan something, the worse it gets executed. Such is the case with our Halloween episode. We had pimped it for about 2 or 3 weeks prior, sending out notices on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Putting up a special header graphic on the site and so on… then when the night actually comes for the live broadcast, we aren’t broadcasting at all! If you were there at the beginning of the show last night you may, or rather may not have, heard us. The live stream was skipping something terrible for the first several minutes. You won’t hear it on the recorded version but we do mention it a few times throughout the show. The fellas did get their first lesson in what we in the broadcast industry call “stretching” while I troubleshooted the issue.
After the fumbling awkward start of the show passes and the stream returns to normal the show officially gets going. There are 2 E-Mails from our loyal listeners this week. The first, what we wish was a trick, informs us, or rather Charlie, of the newly released photos of the Green Lantern’s Power Battery. The link to see it is in the Show Links. It looks stupid. But sadly, it is not a trick. The other E-Mail is a real treat, I have it on good authority that it’s author was inebriated when he wrote it. Spelling errors aside, he poses some good Halloween questions to us including what costumes we came dressed in for the show.
And on that costume note, we’ve got some dress up-suggestions and advice for you! Continuing to cash in on his instant fame, Antoine Dodson, the flamboyant sound byte-giver on rapists breaking into apartments, now has his own Halloween costume. It’s called the “Bed Intruder Costume” and you can pick it up for around $25.
That would be an awesome costume to wear to a party, or dress your kid up in. But there are some disguises that are just plain wrong. Even for small children too young to know they’re being humiliated by the folks. The list-masters over at TopTenz.net came up with the top-10 most embarrassing costumes for kids. We rundown 5 of them as a caution to all you parents out there. Have some respect for your kids. The entire list is in the Show Links.
We also attempt to gross you out by telling you about a dude who sticks a needle in his eye. A guy named Matt Gone could be the most tattooed person on Earth. And just when we think he’s run out of space, he proves us wrong by inking his eyeballs, himself! Using a pretty gnarly needle Gone has injected blue colored ink into the white areas of his eyes. Again… he did this himself, looking into a mirror. Apparently the ink is moving around in the eye and could turn the who thing blue! He’s got pictures of all of his tattoos… from head to toe, including the latest ones he’s been ‘eyeing’ on his website.
And since “Boo Fact You?” went away with “Boo Asked You?” our round of 10 terrifying factoids had to be mediocrely renamed to “Who Spooked You?”. And this year it’s not just facts about the Halloween holiday, it’s eerie, creepy, strange and gross facts that should have you more uncomfortable than the Pedobear episode.
This show seems to be full of lists. We’ve also got 5 of the most obscure phobias out there. They include a fear of string and specific relatives. In the Show Links we have a site that contains an enormous list of just about every phobia out there. If you decide to read any of it and come across one even more strange than these, by all means, E-Mail it to us with your thoughts on it.
Finally the last half-hour of the show is a stretch. Literally… we’re once again stretching just like at the start. This time though, it’s because we run out of planned material. It happens. Sometimes we make it all the way through the show’s rundown. And in cases like this, it’s not nearly as satisfying as you’d think. At least, not when you still have 30 minutes to fill! But, if there is one thing we have proven time and time again on this program, it’s that we can talk uninterrupted about nonsense and still make it entertaining. It’s the backbone of our show for Christ sake! We better be good at it. The filler is filled with talk of the now defunct relationship between Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff. And since it is the Halloween show, gets back into that mode with â€” here comes more lists â€” our top 5 scary movie favorites and some random scary video game classics we enjoy as well. Happy Halloween!

EPISODE 129 – They All Look Alike

Hide your kids, hide your wife, Who Asked You? is chockfull of verbage on race, sex, beer, illegal downloading and plenty of curses… so… pretty much a run-of-the-mill show. We’ll tell you today about the newest record holder for the world’s strongest beer. No longer does it belong to the guys at BrewDogs who created “Tactical Nuclear Penguin”. Now it goes to another company whose mission statement must say that it’s out to develop a customer base of liver failure-patients. Anytime a beer has more alcohol in it than a fine whiskey, perhaps it’s not really beer anymore. When the brewing industry itself is against brewing the beer, perhaps it’s not really a beer anymore. Or when the company advises you drink it like a cocktail and not like a beer… I’m thinking it’s not really a beer anymore.
Now onto something you can finger. Oh yeah… it’s that alright! Call it the latest in geek chic. A computer mouse elegantly sculpted into the shape of a woman’s genitalia. Complete with a perfectly positioned scroll wheel and a hidden ‘spot’ that rewards you by launching your favorite website or E-Mail when you press it. The mouse is a conceptual design right now. It doesn’t seem to be for sale anywhere. But I’m sure so me company in the techno-porn industry will be happy to develop it into a real product. You can have a look at it for yourself below in the Show Links. I can’t help but wonder, if this was for sale, how long it would be before some lonely guy surfing an adult webcam site late one night looked down at his “G Spot Mouse” and then tried to have sex with it. It would probably happen faster than the time it’d take him to get to the ER to have the stuck gadget removed.
Our big story of the show goes to a brother and sister in Alabama. The Dodson’s were victimized by an attempted rapist who broke into the sister’s bedroom and tried to assault her. When she screamed for help, her brother Antoine quickly raced to her aide. The perp got away, but when interviewed by the local news, Antoine Dodson sounded off about the event and has since become an Internet sensation for his comments. Some feel people like this shouldn’t be put on the news. But isn’t it worse to not let them have their say. Why should one victim get favored for a sound byte just because they’re better spoken or dressed over the one who isn’t? It was said that those like Antoine (i.e. those who have an Ebonics vernacular) reflect poorly on their community. Really? Seems to me like the guy that broke into their house and tried to rape an innocent young woman is the one doing that poor reflecting. In any case, the interview aired, people liked it and now Antoine is being heard by folks all over the world not just on the news, but on T-Shirts, ringtones and YouTube remixes. If only that rapist had a vagina-shaped mouse, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.
If he did have that mouse, perhaps he’d be using it to acquire movies from the Bureau. We’ve got a list for you today of the current most downloaded movies from it. We’ll run down the top-10 then quiz you with a “Chase’s Challenge” on what flick is getting the most torrent attention. Tune in and play along… don’t cheat and Google it before though!
Perhaps that rapist that broke into the Dodson household is working for the National Weather Service now. The robotic voice that interrupts the TV and radio warning us all of impending weather related doom is part of a brand new segment we’re introducing today inspired by Mr. Joe Pesci. This bit is an invention of Dennis’ and will pop up from time to time on the show. And we encourage your participation too. Listen to the show, find out what the segment is about and if one of these moments happens to you, E-MAIL US and we’ll include it in the next edition!
We’re off next week, but brand-new episodes of the show return on August 23rd. And you can hear us the night before, live on ErrorFM as well. So run and tell dat home boy!
