With Thanksgiving happening last week the preparation of the show got a little behind. Friday rolled around and there was virtually nothing on the rundown. So imagine my delight when I decided to throw in an edition of IT’S THE LAW and it turned out to be a rather lengthy one. Anything to fill time… that’s our motto here at the Who Asked You? show. Well, that’s one of them. More specifically, one of the G-Rated ones.
You’ve probably noticed that we’ve slowed down on the frequency of giving you strange laws from our United States. That’s because we’re running out of them! As this segment inches closer to retirement, we’re trying to make it last for as long as possible. As a result, I’ve reduced it to just once a month. We’ve received millions of E-Mails asking why the segment hasn’t been heard in such a long time? This will hopefully make up for its recent absence… half a freakin’ show of IT’S THE LAW. Almost 2 whole pages of bonkers bureaucracy for your audible ingestion.
And speaking of retirement and making things last as long as possible. Before we dive into our longest law bit to date, we bring you the second edition of our newest segment, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! One of the topics for this bit involves an expensive penis pump. What qualifies it for Mr. Pesci’s classic order to leave is how you may be able to pay for it. We’re ‘pumped up’ for this one, so tune in for the details.
Does TRANSFORMERS 3: THE DARK OF THE MOON have a budget that nearly reaches astronomical levels? “Not so” says our beloved lens flare-er. He’s setting the record straight on that and supposed issues with shooting the film in 3D. Bay has a choice name for the online media covering the production of his latest robotic romp.
And how many people in the world can say they’ve run over themselves with their own car? And how many of those do you think can say they’ve done it twice in the same day? We know of at least 1 woman in Australia who can. Her story and more is on today’s BREAKING NEWS.
Thanks to Charlie for providing me with a shuttlecraft toy from Star Trek during yet another rant about Abrams’ film. It soothed my emotional rash spurred by JJ’s interpretation of Klingons in a deleted scene from the film’s DVD. The shuttle’s mission is now to maintain orbit around planet Behringer and make sure nobody fiddles with the knobs.
And a big good bye to one of my favorite actors of all time, Leslie Nielson. He died from pneumonia complications in a hospital; a big building with patients. But that’s not important right now. Thanks for all the laughs Leslie! You will ‘Shirley’ be missed.

Chinese take out arrives just a few minutes before we go on the air. The freshly cooked chicken, vegetables, rice and noodles are a far cry from other food options out there these days. Take for example, McDonald’s. They’ve decided to bring back a world-famous sandwich that, like a lot of their food, probably isn’t made out of what it actually tastes like. The McRib is on its way to a Mickey-D’s near you for a 6-week run. The company has pulled the rib-shaped food molds out of storage and has begun pumping pork flavored scrap paste into them just in time for the holiday season.
It’d be interesting to see what happens to a McRib sandwich if left out for several weeks. We know what happens to the burgers and fries… absolutely nothing. Just ask Sally Davies. She’s an artist from New York who bought a Happy Meal and let it sit out for 180 days to document its decomp demise (pictures in the Show Links below). Strangely though, nothing happened. No mold, no fungus, no discoloration… just an acrylic sheen across the food making it rock hard. McDonald’s could easily get into the fake plastic food business for model homes don’t you think? They wouldn’t even have to make the stuff. Just use unsold burgers and fries. Word has it they last for 12 plus years!
Also on the McDonald’s news front, couples in Hong Kong are going crazy over getting hitched in the restaurant. For some unexplainable reason there’s been an increase in demand for this service to the point that McDonald’s has actually started offering it for a flat fee. Now you can not only get fat at McDonald’s, you can also ruin your life there too!
After we fill up on all that non-decomposable news, it’s time to catch up with Michael Bay. The possible title of TRANSFORMERS-3 was potentially leaked online by accident. It seems Amazon.com offered up some books for pre-order, written by the official movie novel author, that contained the rumored title. The name as of this posting hasn’t been confirmed by Michael Bay, but Amazon has removed all traces of the books from their site, soooo you kinda have to wonder.
Also on today’s program, “It’s The Law” returns! The state of choice this go-round? Alaska. It seems our 49th state is very concerned with moose safety. There are several state laws involved the antlered-animal as well as some at the city level. Remember that moose in the opening credits for NORTHERN EXPOSURE? Yeeaah, he was breaking like 10 laws.
And speaking of breaking stuff, the news continues to shatter around us. This week rapper T.I. helped talk down a suicidal man, a teenager parallel parks… in the DMV lobby and we talk about the world’s fastest mobility scooter.

An apparent bomb scare in Washington D.C. caused quite a bit of police activity near the location of a TRANSFORMERS-3 shoot. One of the “Explosives Ordinances Division” police SUVs made a wrong turn and found itself driving through the scene. What happens next? Take a look…

The police officer was not seriously hurt. We can’t say as much for poor Bumblebee. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and as you see in the clip, was covered with a sheet by Michael Bay staffers. As for that bomb scare, just another explosion in the movie I’m sure.

Okay… so you’re probably immediately wondering why there’s a homo-erotic depiction of Luigi to the left. It’s very simple. We talk about Luigi on today’s show. More specifically, the fact that he’s gotten a pretty raw deal over the years when it comes to having his own game. This was all spawned from me bringing up the newly-released “Super Mario Galaxy 2″ for the Nintendo Wii. In that game you’ll have the chance to play as Luigi on several levels. Besides the “New Super Mario Brothers Wii” video game, this is the first time Luigi has gotten to really stretch his legs legitimately in a Mario game for some time. Why then the gay-ish Luigi picture? Well no real reason I guess. Although, we do start and end this week’s episode with some varying Broke Trek memories. If you’ve never seen this Brokeback Mountain/Star Trek parody, you can watch it in the Show Links. And we do go into a tangent about Luigi being a slave. But not the kind of slave the picture is suggesting. So I guess that angle doesn’t really work… look, it’s a funny fuckin’ picture okay. Just look at it, chuckle and move on.
Besides the homosexual trek and Luigi getting the shaft we do have a few items of interest on the show. Apparently it is now against FCC regulations to even elude to a dirty word. Just ask the Parent’s Television Council. They know what’s best for us. And what’s best for us is NOT watching the new CBS comedy due out this fall called “Bleep My Dad Says” or “&$#% My Dad Says or, our preferred version, “Shit My Dad Says”. The Television Council for those who choose not to parent says it’ll bring lawsuits against any CBS affiliate who airs the show, or promotions for it too early in the evening. Looks like this Fall’s season is already shaping up to be “the shit”.
And we once again check back in on the master of giant fighting robots, pointless explosions and seizure-inducing lens flares to find out just what he’s been keeping busy with. And the answer is so shocking, so revolutionary and just so god-damned funny we can’t tell you here… you’ll have to tune in for it!
After the Bay banter it comes time to review the broadcast networks cancellation choices and to reflect on those new shows green lit and headed our way come September. It’s tough to judge how good a show will be from a single sentence description, but we do our best. I even manage to throw in a few fakes to spice things up, because to be honest, this new stew of network episodics is pretty bland. Many of their ingredients we’ve seen before and others we just don’t even want to taste.
Being the eternal optimists we are, Charlie not so much… Mike more than any other… we’d like to believe there’ll be something halfway decent to watch next season. Even if it means trudging through the monotonous. I guess Captain Kirk says it best when confronted with the complications of loving Mr. Spock in Broke Trek, “It’s a risk I’ll have to take.”
