EPISODE 141 – It’s All Gravy

One of the most beloved holidays amongst our Who Asked You? Crew, it’s our Thanksgiving show… and by that I mean it’s the show before Thanksgiving Day. Less perpetration went into this episode than a white family’s stuffing recipe. Thank goodness for Stove-Top, am I right?Briefly, a friend and listener of the show E-Mails us again this week with what is clearly a body-double for Dennis. We can all see the resemblance. Can you? What’s more, the look-alike, whose name is Mauricio is also one of our Facebook Fans! How awesome is that? A big thanks to Mauricio for hitting that Like button and for looking like Dennis.
Our Poll this week poses the question to you, what’s your favorite Thanksgiving dish? That same question then goes to our panel and I’m sorry I asked it. A half-show argument erupts after Dennis brings up ‘gravy’. For him, gravy is nature’s food moisturizer. It apparently belongs drizzled over everything on your Thanksgiving plate. But there’s some differing of opinion on this. So much so that Russ, a friend who occasionally sits in on the show had to join in the conversation. He couldn’t sit quietly in the peanut gallery and let Dennis run amuck on his gravy gallivant. The spirited chat drifts from whose mom has the best recipe to what dishes you should cover in gravy. Some feel only the turkey gets the brown bath. Others *cough* Dennis, think everything should be painted, even your stuffing, err… dressing… whatever. Eventually everyone kind of agrees to disagree and “it’s all gravy”.
What’s not all gravy is Tony Scott’s upcoming sequel to TOP GUN. It may not seem like this story will ever get told on the show. I skipped it last week by accident and this week we don’t even get to the New Releases until 30 minutes in, but I promise, I read it this time. Will Tom Cruise reprise his role? Tune in and find out.
And the gravy is tainted over at Warner Bros. as someone — most likely an employee — leaked the first 36 minutes of the latest Harry Potter movie online. The company has launched an investigation. And there were concerns it might hurt the film’s opening weekend. Really? Who was worried about that? It’s Harry Potter for Christ’s sake. It could be 30 minutes of Daniel Radcliffe with explosive diarrhea and people would pay to see it. As you’ll hear on the show, the box office suffered no ill effects from the roughly 1/5 of the film finding its way to the web.
Quiter Palin, err, I mean Sarah Palin and her family continue to show up in the news. Whether it’s Sarah herself blowing useless verbage out of her pie hole on Fox News and her new reality show on TLC, her daughter Bristol ‘mysteriously’ making it to the finals of ABC’s DANCING WITH THE STARS or her other daughter Willow doing a little gay bashing on Facebook… there’s something for everyone to point and laugh at in the Palin clan. I wonder if Quiter, I mean, Sarah makes good gravy for Thanksgiving?
A little boy at a Tennessee restaurant probably wishes he’d ordered something with gravy on it instead of the chili. After his meal arrived the server told the boy to try some rather exclusive hot sauce on it. Unfortunately that sauce was so hot the kid had to be taken to the ER.
If that family had been in Arizona, they could’ve gone to the HEART ATTACK GRILL and medical attention in sexy little nurse outfits would’ve been right there on-hand. The world-famous hospital-themed burger joint has always caught flack for its high-calorie concoctions and now it’s worse than ever with a new promotion they’re ‘heavily’ advertising. We’ll tell you all about it.
Whether you pour gravy on your turkey, mashed potatoes or pumpkin pie… whether you’re spending Thanksgiving in Alaska or at the world’s most unhealthy grill… make it a good one! Enjoy your friends, family and all the food. Happy Thanksgiving!

Like our open says, “do not panic”…. what you’re seeing is an all-new Who Asked You? website. It’s a last-stitch effort to try and draw in a few more listeners… god knows we need ‘em. Take a moment to look around. The layout is basically the same as the old site. Just fancier more modern looking buttons. The addresses for each page are different, so if you have any individual pages bookmarked, you may want to update them.And speaking of updating something… if you subscribe to our RSS feed (the little orange button) you will need to update that as well. Remove, or unsubscribe from the old feed and subscribe to the new one. You can do that by clicking here.
If you’re subscribed to our show through iTunes, good news, you don’t have to do a thing. The iTunes feed is remaining intact!
Alright, now onto this week’s show. Besides this awesome new website we’re occupying, we’ve got two other HUGE announcements you’ll wanna hear. They could change your life forever!
Plus a listener E-Mail from Comic-Con! It’s like we have our own correspondent down there! He brings us a brief sentence of Batman movie news.
We go through another rousing round of Who Fact You? which in turn generates conversations relating to saliva and then food poisoning from In-N-Out Burger and more.
Harry Potter’s pot-o-money is a bit smaller this week. He was beat out in the box office by another kids film which is less than half as entertaining and not at all creative.
Then we round out this new show on our new website with It’s The Law, followed by a couple of random stories involving showering in the car, parking on the lawn of the police station and naked time! Oh yeah, and I think there’s a Question of the Ages thrown in there somewhere too!
Don’t forget to tell us what you think about the new site by voting on this week’s We Ask You Online Poll.
