Going Terribly

Alice and Doug

Imagine the most adult children you know – discussing the environmental impact of menstruation cups one minute and making poop jokes the next. That’s Doug and that’s Alice. Two friends who decided to Always Be Recording. He’s a filmmaker, and she’s a college English professor. Their chemistry is accidental. And so is this auditory compendium of their verbal musings. You are invited to join their lighthearted conversational romps through all of life's absurdities.

Going Terribly - Ep. 7: Two True Americans in a Vicious Motorboat
play

11/03/20 • 49 min

It's 90s week, and the floor is nostalgia! Alice confesses that she never finished reading Watership Down in the eighth grade, and Doug reveals that he prefers *NSYNC over Backstreet Boys. They talk picture books, past presidents, animated feature films, and that awkward Millennial stage of being intimidated by both young children and adultier adults.

And guess who's back! Maddie (Alice and Doug's hypothetical foster cow) makes a reappearance to discuss the merits of Heifer International, a real charity run by Pierre U. Ferrari (sounds fake to me...) that sponsors farm animals (including but not limited to cows, chickens, goats, and alpacas!) for needy families.

Other discussion topics may include:

-Scatological humorists and the hashtags that unite them

-Alternatively decorated burial receptacles

-How we can blame giant water bills on the government

-Bird Impressions: A Competition for the Ages

-Poop dust. Or was it poop ducts? Wait, they’re both in this episode? Unbelievable, guys.

Going Terribly - Ep. 5: Three Safe Words in a Bed of Nails Sandwich
play

10/20/20 • 79 min

The dastardly duo contemplate getting matching tattoos after a series of unfortunate events: Doug regrets investing in artisanal beads; Alice pines after an unattainable hurdy-gurdist in Winnipeg; they welcome Josh Weiland to the poo’dcast but somehow don’t make any 3-way jokes.

There’s also legit information about the Extra Life gaming fundraiser to benefit Riley Hospital for Children. How about a tattoo commemorating 25 hours of non-stop gaming together. They’ll definitely...not want to remember that.

Other discussion topics may include:

Going Terribly - Ep. 45: Two Porch Zucchinis in a Terrible Alibi
play

08/10/21 • 54 min

Going Terribly is a true crime podcast now. Doug watches a ton of Forensic Files, Disappeared, and Killer Couples (who knew?), and Alice was recently trapped in a car for 9 hours and listened to the entire first season of the Cold podcast (not against her will), so obviously, this whole episode is a grisly dramatization of Ashley Judd's 1999 film, Double Jeopardy.

Other discussion topics may include:

How to found a college. Or, wait, that should say find. Or....hold on. Which one did we mean?

Olympic withdrawal, featuring speed bowling and dizzy golf

Safety or Nachos: Life's difficult decisions

On this episode of To Outsmuck a Smucker, Doug channels his best Orson Welles and reads a diary entry from The Uncrustables -- a neo-noir adapted from a gothic novel. Alice accompanies with some questionable impressions of Crustopher Walken and Jammy Stewart. They also decide to adopt a baby cow, name her Maddie, raise her for eighteen months, then take her out for ribs. Wait. Her ribs? Or just ribs?

Other discussion topics may include:

Ice(landic s)cream therapy

See-through lavatories and other provocative rooms

Consuming food both meant for and emitting from animals

Shower Sandwiches with Anna Kendrick

Honestly, they really just talk about Uncrustables for, like, six hours.

[Allergy Warning: Contains gluten, dairy, eggs, and well-meaning yet ultimately misleading information about Temple Grandin]

Alice has an existential crisis and considers a career change into the audiobook narration industry. Doug can’t remember when he last hugged someone, and it’s slowly murdering him. They finally learn what gluten is. This week’s episode gets real, y’all.

An examination of very important world records, such as cucumber eating

Sometimes, you just gotta start out an episode by making juvenile fart noises with your hands. You certainly don't have to continue the rest of the episode like that, but what can we say, we're just gems like that.
