What’s good? Well, we’ve got a number of things that are, on today’s program and few that aren’t. Most notably… WE ARE ALL BACK!!! It’s been a few months since all five of us hosted the show. Schedules got jumbled, trips were taken; there was always someone missing. But now, with Jabari’s return, the circle is once again complete.
First, the inspiration for this week’s title, a viral video on YouTube called, BEAUTY AND THE BEAT. It’s a rather urban spin on, “Little Town,” the very first song sung in Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Once again we find Belle as a bit of an outcast amongst her neighbors in the sleepy little projects. She makes her way through town as everyone she passes greets her with, “what’s good?” This video is certainly good. You can check it out in the Show Links below.
It’s also good that scientists are keeping an eye on how fast this rock we live on is spinning. Turns out, it’s actually slowing down. As a result, on Saturday they added one-second to the Universal Coordinated Time. They do this so that us normal folks’ clocks stay in tune with atomic clocks and we’re not eating lunch at midnight in 100,000 years.
Take a look at the image above. This is a charcoal filter that adheres to your underwear and filters out the odor of your farts. An E-Mail from a listener brought us this gem. We’ve run across similar products on the show in the past. But these set us off on a hypothetical of where the pads might come in handy best. We think at about 37,000 feet.
What’s NOT good? A new Snoop Dogg movie coming out on DVD tomorrow called, MAC & DEVIN GO TO HIGH SCHOOL. Once you hear the plot, we think you’ll agree. Snoop’s a little old to be playing a high school student. Maybe that’s the joke? Obviously the movie isn’t taking anything seriously. Just wait until you hear the name of the school.
Something else not too good, Foie Gras — fattened goose or duck liver. Not only is this delicacy cruel to the birds, it’s now banned in California for that very reason. Food advocates are going to try and get the law repealed. But as of Sunday, it’s illegal for restaurants in Cali to serve it. I’m going to go on record and say that internal organs of animals should not be eaten. It’s gross. Maybe that’s a bit hypocritical of my to say while jamming a fat hamburger down my gullet, but that’s as far as my meat consumption goes. I’m boring that way. Foie Gras doesn’t even look appetizing. It looks gross and slimy. Do we really need to eat this anyway? And who likes liver? Honestly? That’s our We Ask You Poll this week. Be sure and cast your vote!
What else is good? We’re once again on Jenkem Watch. A flood of fecal related news has been pinched off onto our radar and it’s our doody to bring it to you. There’s quite a mystery to solve at a Dollar General store in Lufkin, Texas where someone pooped on the storeroom floor despite readily available restrooms. There was so much of it, employees believed a large animal had gotten trapped in the room and did the deed. Security camera footage releaved that wasn’t the case. You’ll hear who done it!
This week is Be Nice To New Jersey week. It’s hard not to make a joke about them with stories like this next one. A 72 year-old man was arrested after threatening his neighbor with a gun because the neighbor farted so loud he heard it and smelt it through his apartment wall! The real question here is what in the hell has that guy been eating?
We wipe up Jenkem Watch with a principal in Canada being fired after he failed to stop a shitty prank played on two of his students. While on a canoe trip, an adult chaperone convinced a boy and girl to eat moose poop. How’d he do that? You’ll have to tune-in to find out.
It wasn’t intentional, but this week’s hour skews heavily toward flatulence and shit. Perhaps it’s what’s good? Who knows, maybe it’ll land us a sponsorship with a gas relief or constipation medication.

It’s that time again boys and girls… time for the Who Asked You? Halloween show. This year’s pun on our name continues a 4-year tradition of play-on-words fun. Someday, I feel I may run out of rhymes and whimsical word replacements, lets prey that day never comes. Speaking of 4-years… it’s our 4th Anniversary!!! Nothing special was planned for this episode since it was already our Halloween edition. But I’m thinking we’ll do something extra fun for our 5th. Suggestions always welcomed!
Our ghost story of a program starts with the usuals. Our Calendar segment seems to be settling in nicely and there’s even a few Halloween-related celebrations mentioned. And an E-Mail from a self-proclaimed “Dickhead Dentist” warns us and our listeners of the perils of brushing one’s teef with abrasive materials like baking soda. You may remember last week’s show when another listener signed of his E-Mail to us with a reminder of good oral care. The subsequent conversation included other options for cleaning your choppers outside of boring ol’ tooth paste.
In honor of our Halloween show we suddenly become possessed — because we can do that on-command you know — and the entire New Releases are discussed in demonic voices that’ll creep you out and that cost us $40,000. So be creeped out damn it!
You know what else our haunted hilarity brings forth? The terrifying news that Fred Durst is getting a sitcom. Cue woman screaming effect. It appears Durst will play an aging rock star who has to balance his fame and family. And get this, the working title for this “Limp” Bizkit is DOUCHEBAG. Fred Durst… starring… and co-producing a show… called DOUCHEBAG? You can’t tell me he doesn’t realize peoples’ view of him. This is marketing genius?
And if you’re still undecided about what you wanna dress up as this year. Maybe we can help. We’ve got a list of the most popular costumes for 2011 as well as one of those you should avoid. In anycase, you probably don’t want to dress up as any of these, because they’ll either be so popular someone else at the party is wearing it too or it’ll be lame and/or in bad taste. One of the costumes, Anthony Weiner, made both lists!
Our ghost story-of-a-show doesn’t end there. This is no trick, it’s a treat for all of us. TRANSFORMERS star, Shia LaBeouf got beat up outside of a bar in Vancouver after drinking heavily and being an asshole. Not to say the other guy wasn’t an asshole too… but as we look back at some of Shia’s previous offenses, it’s clear he’s ‘transforms” into a mean drunk.
On Halloween you can’t just be scared… you have to be grossed out too. That’s why we bring you another edition of Jenkem Watch! This time around, an Irish guy tries to get stinkin’ rich by performing a little alchemy. And a study out of England found something gross on British cell phones. You know the segment, you know what they found on them. We pinch off the numbers and tell you how many shitty phones there are in Great Britain.
And lastly, an old man knocking on doors was ‘tricking’ ladies and getting a ‘treat’ out of it. You’ll have to tune in to hear this, the conclusion to our hour-long ghoulish tale.

We are out of practice when it comes to not talking over each other. That’s according to Charlie on this week’s show. And I have to kind of agree with him. When we first started Who Asked You? and placed some clips on YouTube, the comments weren’t kind. One that stood out above all others was that we talked over each other too much. We worked on it, got better at it and now once again, suck at it. We’ll work on it some more.
There’s good reason this week though that we’re stepping all over each other. There’s a lot to talk about! After Charlie gives us his short and sweet review of the Electric Daisy Carnival and how he stood in line for 3-hours to get in on the first night, we review Jabari’s policies on seeing awful films, then dive into the show with a story from the people who usually bring us the headlines, a local news station in Salt Lake City, Utah. A new series from NBC based on the Playboy Club of the 1960′s in Chicago has got KSL-TV’s garments in a twist. The station is owned by the Mormon Church and as a result, they want nothing to do with the Playboy brand. They refuse to air the new show called, THE PLAYBOY CLUB when it debuts this Fall. Oddly, NBC isn’t pressuring them. Perhaps because they don’t want a PR wrath of Biblical proportions to come down on them from religious groups. The Peacock Network assures us though they’ll look to other broadcast outlets in the Salt Lake market to air the program for them… there’s always The CW! They’ll air anything! As you can imagine before even pressing play, we (more accurately Mike and Charlie) launch into another deep convo about perceptions of religion and so forth. I think some of you may be getting tired of such debates. If the ErrorFM chat room is any indication, you are. While the back and forth was going on, at least 6 people left the room without warning. Server timeout? Perhaps, or at least, I’d like to think so. Rest assured, we’ve made note of this phenomenon and will try and limit these discussions in the future even if the chat room rapture had nothing to do with show events… just to be on the safe side. If you are or aren’t fond of these types of discussions, you’re more than welcome to tell us in a listener E-Mail.
Enough of that. The next item on the agenda stinks… literally. It reeks worse than that bland, overused pun I just made. In an attempt to keep the stupid gimmicks-a-flowin’ in theaters, Dimension Films is planning to roll out what they’re calling “Aromascope” with the premier of Robert Rodriguez’s, SPY KIDS: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD. The idea is simple, yet incredibly dumb. With your movie ticket you’ll receive a scratch and sniff card. During the film a number will flash on the screen prompting you to scratch the corresponding box and smell the scent, putting you in the movie’s environment! Yeah right… I’ll find it difficult to immerse myself in a film’s smelly scene when that card is competing with the theater’s standard aromas of burnt popcorn and the fat guy one row back who just blew ass. The only saving grace of this gimmick is that it won’t cost any extra. Really??? Gee, thanks Hollywood! Paying $11 for a substandard comic book rip off written by an asshole in the writer’s guild who doesn’t deserve to be there has me on the fence every time… but a card I can sniff all through a movie at no additional cost? I’m sold! I’ll be there, first in line, front row, for every new release from this day onward. Don’t be surprised though if I’m huffing a Sharpie marker and not your retarded piece of paper.
It seemed only appropriate while on the subject of stimulating one’s nose that our newest, favorite-ist segment pinches one off to round out the show. Ladies and gentlemen, this week returns, “Jenkem Watch.” The segment that’s quite literally, full of shit. Whenever there’s a story that involves feces or flatulence, we’re on it, remaining anything but silent and deadly. This edition brings us 2 turds. First, a poopy-person on the loose in Boulder, Colorado! He was spotted at a yoga festival… inside a Porta-Potty tank. That’s right. He went where the poo goes. A woman noticed something moving inside and summoned security. When the man finally emerged, he was covered in dooky. There was little security could do to subdue him until police arrived, after all, who wants to touch a guy covered in crap? So he got away but was eventually caught… and hopefully hosed off.
The other doody-ditty comes to us from New Hampshire. An apartment complex there is making Gil Grissom jealous with there crime scene “clean up” or lack there of. Residents of the complex are having a hard time picking up after their pooches. So in an attempt to get them to, the property manager has enlisted the help of a doggy DNA company. Whenever there’s an unclaimed pile, she takes a sample and sends it to the lab for testing. It’s compared to samples residents were required to submit and bingo, like bullet striations, things line up and the culprit is caught. Is this going a little too far? That’s the question posed to the guys. Lets just hope this doesn’t show up in a scene of CSI in “Aromascope.”

I’ve said it before, we podcasters have to stick together. And a good way to do that is host exchanges! On today’s illustrious edition of Who Asked You? we’re joined by Paul Mattingly of THE UGLY COUCH SHOW. He, a few pals and a furry puppet, produce a podcast as well as a vidcast. A majority of their topics pretty much match ours, so Paul fit right in on our couch.
He picked a helluva show to sit in on too. First we get some quasi-hate mail targeted at myself and Mike. If you’re keeping score at home, Dennis is now the only member of the Who Asked You? Crew to not be hated in the electronic communication realm. The message offers up some suggestions of how we might improve our quaint little netcast. Listen in and see if you agree with the suggested changes. Whether you do or don’t, please feel free to let us know in your own E-Mail!
For the first time in our show’s history, we’ve done a little bit of “over-producing” it. By that I mean, our new “Jenkem Watch” segment conjured up 2 different opens. Unable to decide which one to use, I decided to play them both and then have the guys, as well as the ErrorFM Chat Room decide which was better. You’ll hear their choice later in the show!
It was only a matter of time before a Sarah Palin movie — of the non-pornographic variety — got the green light. This one, for HBO, takes its cues from a book that doesn’t exactly shed the best light on the quitter with a shitty reality show. In other words… it tells the truth. What’s interesting is that an actress who supports Obama will take the role. I suppose playing Palin as an ill-informed, unprepared nincompoop is just one more way she can stick it to Palin better than that guy did in NAILIN’ PALIN.
Apple is attempting to trademark the now popular phrase, “App Store.” However, Microsoft is blocking them any way they possibly can including complaining about the font size used in the filed documents. As desperate as they look, I have to agree with Microsoft on this one… Apple is overstepping here. They’ve since filed new papers that comply with Microsoft’s demands, but a court decision on the rights to “App Store” has yet to be made.
Just a few months ago we talked about the controversy surrounding a contest to be a spokesperson for a horribly unhealthy eatery in Arizona. Those in the health field felt promoting the consumption of greasy, fat-filled burgers and fries was not the right message to send. The winner of the contest, Blair River, only added to the concern given he weighed over 500 pounds. Notice I used the past-tense of weigh? You’ll hear why on this episode… although you’ve probably already figured out the ironic conclusion to his spokesperson career for a restaurant that serves an 8,000 calorie burger.
And there’s a gal named Gabi (pictured) who’s not too far behind Blair. She has her own adult website where she stuffs her pie hole with things like pie, pizza, cake and so forth. What’s so sexy about that? Well, nothing in my opinion. But everybody’s trigger gets tripped over different things so we shouldn’t judge. Gabi has a rather interesting condition that causes something to happen when she’s eating. And she makes a living triggering this “O” so rare syndrome by running a website where you can watch her do it!
Perhaps Blair and Gabi should try a diet of strictly beer. That’s what one Iowa man is doing to celebrate the holy time of Lent. He’ll be drinking 4 glasses of beer a day along with water just like monks did thousands of years ago. His now 1,200 calorie diet is being monitored by his doctor and pastor. And he’s blogging about it.
And call Pedo-Bear, we’ve got a story about the youngest grandmother in the world. She lives in Romania and is just 23 years-old. Yes… she’s a 23 year-old granny! The math doesn’t seem to add up. Or does it? Tune in to hear how this is possible as we explore a variety of things that are good, bad and ugly… including Paul’s couch.

Mike is missing this week. An unfortunate series of unanswered phone calls and being located too far away for Dennis to want to turn around and pick him up led to his absence. He’ll be sorry he missed this show. That pretty little lady to the left is one, Adrianne Palicki. You may have seen her on a short lived show called FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. You’ll soon be seeing her as the new Wonder Woman! She’s been cast to portray the Amazon in a new series pilot for NBC. She’s no Lynda Carter, but she looks like Wonder Woman. So we’ll hold out hope… oh, wait… almost forgot this is on NBC. Nevermind.
I’m not sure how to tie Mike into this next story. I guess I could say Mike saw TRON: LEGACY… uhh… yeah. If you’ve ever wanted to own a Light Cycle from the film, now you can. At least, from the second one. Hammacher Schlemmer has created a real life, street legal version of the movie motorcycle that you can cruise around on to impress the ladies. The bike is not the most powerful crotch-rocket. The company says it’s just for casual riding. So I wouldn’t take this thing on the freeway. But it looks god damn cool if you ask me. Rimless wheels, electroluminescence lighting; you even lay on your stomach just like they do in the movie! The bikes are made-to-order and won’t cost as much as you might think. At this point in the show we’re light on time — being down a man and all — so I pose a question I know will get Dennis going. Why didn’t people like TRON: LEGACY? You’ll hear his and Charlie’s thoughts on this. And you’re more than welcome to send us yours! We’re your soap box.
Mike will really be bummed he missed the second ever edition of our “Jenkem Watch” segment. This time around we go back to where it all started. Who new what one little news report from a local station in Florida would create. And it’s that actual news story that is the center of attention this week. One of those clever remixes has been created and posted on YouTube. We pop open the mp3 jar, play it and inhale it’s gassy beats for a quick laugh.
And as Charlie so eloquently puts it this week, I ‘fact’ you in the ass 10 times with a little segment we call, “Who Fact You?.” Of course, that answer is the same every time… I do! One of the facts today tells us the percentage of Americans who claim God has spoken to them. This number, to us, seems rather low. You may think it’s pretty high… or low yourself. Being a religious fellow, it’s too bad Mike wasn’t here.
