Ep. 250: Three Toilet Tycoons in an Adorable Little War

Rejoice! For it's finally time for the 250th episode of Going Terribly! Two-time guest host Will.he.is (who just might be Superman) finally joins both Doug and Alice at the same time as just a GUEST (a significant demotion, but don't tell him). It's the longest episode ever, and it's back to back, wall to wall, Godball to Godball games. You'll learn so much about crayons, video games, hot dog toppings, Muppets, 8-year old war veterans, Florida men, and...bull semen? Do we finally have the first ...

Ep. 249: Two Highly Strung Southern Women in a Moment of God-Given Pleasure

Alice just learned that a compliment she received years ago was plagiarized. And Doug believes she may have had a tryst with Cameron Crowe.

Does everything have evil origins?* Other discussion topics may include: - Are there too many Sharknado movies? Or perhaps...not enough? - Edward Norton's potentially unique relationship with God - Just what IS a "magnificent fall"? - Non-German G...

Ep. 248: Two Shiny Happy Made Up People in a Questionable Alan Jackson Song

The D-Man and A-Girl are in the house! Alice is out of steroids. Doug may have eaten a block of eye shadow. Alice thinks she may be more woman than some dude. Doug can't stop saying "coochie." The stage is set. Witness the chaos. Other discussion topics may include: - That mood when you just want to watch a few hundred people drown - A 12-year old's contract to not have children - How to tick off the National Persimmon Alliance - Could Tom have just been trying to get with Jerry? - That Famous A...

Ep. 247: Two Alobama Hog Farmers in a Pantless Fight

Happy birthday, Mr. Disney! (the other one) The episode has a depressing start before finally getting into all the boner and nipple hair talk you've grown to love. Or at least expect.

Other discussion topics may include: - What if Dr. Seuss were a podiatrist? - Mel Brooks vs. Kumar. Finally. - Never bring up a man's vamp size. - Classic Disney World rides, like Mt. Eve...

Ep. 246: Two Literary Romantics in a James Taylor Butthole

Ep. 245: Two Nerd Juicers in a Really Big Mighty Meaty Pizza Treat

Alice is unfortunately ill this week, but Will.he.is has (figuratively) stepped into her shoes to co-host with Doug this week. They'll discuss a bunch of questions only...ahem, Will can answer, as well as the debut of the game "Meat or Myth." They cap off the episode with every single delicious and/or weird thing imminently coming to you at restaurants and store shelves with "New Yum City." Other discussion topics may include: - Do men brag about the amount of pee that comes out of them? - How H...

Ep. 244: Two Presbyterian Pescatarians in an Actual Sausage Party

There's a lot of talk about currency and puzzle terminology this episode. But just so you don't think Doug and Alice have completely turned over a new leaf, they absolutely say the word "sausage" more than has ever been said in a non-pork-specific podcast. So much sausage, y'all. Sweet, savory, spicy, Vienna. It's all covered in this one. Other discussion topics may include: - How to properly get into a spread eagle position at the gym. Like a lady. - Is Def Comedy Jam short for Def Comedy Jambo...

Ep. 243: Two Anne Hathaways in a Suffocating Bug Trap

We're all lucky to still have Alice around after her near-death bug trap experience this past week. Luckily a Backstreet Boys-featured musical has been the cure for what ailed her.

The NBA Playoffs have been going on for what seems like forever, and Alice was able to pull herself away from a scrapbooking endeavor to watch her first game.

Ep. 239: Two Hillbilly Effigies in a Forbidden Love Story

This week Alice and Doug pull up the ol' random topic generator and test their ability to talk about made-up holidays, strange movies, and more.

Other discussion topics may include: - Which of the 16 Star Wars TV series is your favorite? - Changing the Jaws score to scat music - What food looks disgusting but tastes delicious? - Swiss Army Man Kn...

Ep. 236: Two Phroggy Pacemakers in a Rat-Friendly Carrot Cake

Heard any good news lately? If not, you've come to the right place. This week Doug and Alice seek to shine a little light into this recently darkened world without positive stories from around the world.

Other discussion topics may include: - How much do you believe Toronto's reporting of Japan's research? - Cross breeding grapes, and other ways of pl...

Ep. 233: Two Jaw, Ear, Spine, and Skull Doctors in a Meat Lover's Burrito

Alice and Doug babble on about clicky headphones/skulls and delicious, community-ordered hamburgers. Also, they might accidentally get Mrs. Shen arrested.

Ep. 232: Two Fabulous Foxes in a Caramelized Leek Dip

Ep. 232: Two Fabulous Foxes in a Caramelized Leek Dip Alice and Doug recently took a very pretentious trip to St. Louis, where they took in some culture, fine cuisine, and a questionable lodging situation.

Ep. 230: Two Miniature Octogenarians in a Friday Night Dinner

This week Alice and Doug partake in an epic debate on timepieces. It's every bit as ridiculous and incorrigible as you are imagining. Elsewhere, you can expect to hear about dog bites, tiny old (possibly creepy?) old men, and the eightest cent butt you've ever seen. Other discussion topics may include: - Professional wrestling legend Tea Leoni - Proper usage of the popular expression "To feel in one's taint" - Guard cats and rottweiler ghosts - Would the Harry Potter movies have been better with...

Alice and Doug recently took on The 12 Days of Carrey, where they watched Jim Carrey movies for 12 straight days. That's the second half of the episode, so you've been warned. But don't worry.

Alice and Doug welcome back special guest Wendy Brown in this New Year's extravaganza. Doug puts Alice and Wendy's stress levels to the ultimate test.
