    Episode 100 - The Big 100

    14 DEC 2009 · So here we are... the big one-hundred. It seems like only yesterday... yadda yadda. We won't go into one of those reminiscent schpeels about the show here. We've already got one that starts off this week's episode. It is a little surreal though. When we started the show we all agreed we'd give it six months and see what happens. If nobody was listening by then we'd move on to the next thing. But somehow we did get a few of you tuning in. And one week led to the next, and here we are. Since we blew the entire Who Asked You? budget flying back east to screen Black Dynamite, we were unable to cater this event and therefore are not drunk for the recording. But we promise, we'll do another drunk show one of these days. It'll most likely be the last show because Chase will go into a drunken tirade about the new Star Trek and spill beer all over the mixer. We'll then have no way to continue. Anyway, we thought for this show we'd try and do each of our special segments. So there's a long overdue "Why, Will Farrell?". But this time it's not some dumb new project he's working on, but rather a Forbes Magazine article explaining that he is no longer a good investment for movie makers. He's not the only one though, we've got more on this list. Some we agree with, others... not so much. And then, of course, a special segment show must include "What Is Michael Bay Up To?". This time though, there's not a lot to be said about what he's doing that hasn't already been said. He is quite busy though with many-a-task. We'll run through his activities for you. After that it's the first of two all-new segments we're introducing. This first one is called "According To A New Study" and features some ridiculous scientific studies that were not needed in the first place, because we already knew the answer. Or is just plain retarded and is absent of a reason on how they received funding for such a thing. With this segment we'll ponder all this more than the scientists did on these studies. We'll then move along to our second awesome new segment called "Best Worst Most Least". During this segment we feature four randomized questions that involve something, someone or even somewhere that is the Best Worst Most or Least of... um... something. For example, the question might be, best podcast you've ever heard? And the no-brainer answer would be........ This Week In Tech with Leo Laporte. What? Oh you thought we would say.... hey, we're just keepin' it real. Once we clear the noobs, it's onto a more classic segment, "Who Facted You?". And what a treat this one is. All of the facts are one-hundred themed in celebration of our centum episode. "It's The Law" is next on the rundown. And this week we travel to Illinois. If you're from Illinois and are reading this. You have two of the most random laws we've ever had on this segment. Perfect for episode 100! Listen to this, because the last law on the list comes from Champaign, Illinois and is Chase's favorite to date. If you're from the prairie state and want to comment on any of these laws, by all means, E-Mail us! Finally, we end this special show with a "Chase's Chance-Upon". As you know, we have a rather unhealthy obsession with Arnold Schwarzenegger. And besides having new Arnoldisms in our sound effects we've got what we'll call a dance mix of Arnold proportions.

    EPISODE 101 - Christmas Special 2009

    21 DEC 2009 · It's that time of year... time for the Who Asked You? Christmas Special. Not as special as previous years though... then again, we are in a recession. So suck it! As the universal time continuum dictates, there must always be problems and headaches that pop up at the holidays. And this year is no exception. The guys discuss the fact that there is something at the quantum level of existence that requires bad things to always happen at Christmas. Maybe money is tight, which this year it is for everyone, or maybe your tree caught fire or in this case maybe the driver side door on your car no longer closes and the dealership is going full steam with their scamming and run-arounds. But we do get a little Christmas cheer going with new releases on DVD which make great gifts by the way. And that gets us into talking about a couple of holiday season movies we've screened. First up is a brief review of Ninja Assassin. It's brief because there's not much to be said about a crappy movie. Dennis, Charlie and Mike say this gem. And apparently most of the movie consists of Rain, a Korean actor and singer running around with his shirt off and only a fraction of actual ninja fighting. Then there's Avatar, which Chase and Dennis went and saw in 3D IMAX. Don't listen to the reviews from some. The story in this movie is not bland. It's really engrossing and you feel for the aliens. It's one movie where you're actually rooting for them, not us. James Cameron has really outdone himself on this one. We definitely recommend seeing it. And see it in 3D for sure. It makes the experience that much more fun. In this week's Show Links you'll find a bunch of random links to what we think are some of the best and worst items of 2009. This was tough. But we try and do a recap every year on the Christmas show of stuff we liked and hated. Obviously there was more to hate in 2009 than like. But we have our picks. And we tell you all about them on the show. From all of us at Who Asked You?, have a good holiday. Don't fret if you can't buy your kids PS3's and tons of toys this year. Be wise, save your dough and put away the plastic. There will be other Christmases. Kids should learn what a recession is and how to handle it. Now excuse me. I bought this soap box at Wal-Mart and I'm going to return it now.

    EPISODE 102 - Worst... Movie... Ever...

    28 DEC 2009 · On Christmas day Charlie and Chase had the pleasure of participating in a long-running tradition that Dennis has with his sister. And that tradition is attending a Christmas Day movie. This year's film just happened to be released on Christmas Day. And that motion picture was Sherlock Holmes. But before we get into a critique of this latest incarnation of the world's greatest detective we have to talk about something else more disastrous than the script for the movie. Charlie, being a former projectionist, informed us that Christmas is the biggest box office day of the year and therefore those who run the theater projectors are instructed to play every trailer available before the feature presentation. This makes sense, because we sat through seven movie trailers before Sherlock Holmes started. And they all looked awful! Now we know you're probably thinking, oh here goes the Who Asked You? bitterness once again, but seriously, these flicks looked f**ked. They were so bad, Dennis felt compelled to make a list of them and we go through it one by one on the show in hopes that you can avoid the displeasure of viewing them on your next trip to the cinema. If, during the show, you want to check out any of the films for yourself, first, you should stop drinking... and second, you can find their official websites in the Show Links. Once we get passed those painful memories we get into news of possible villains for Spider-Man 4. Once again Raimi is taking the multi-enemy route like he did in the last installment and we all know how that turned out. This time around it may even get worse. None of what's on today's show has been confirmed yet, but several sites are reporting the same thing, so it's probably got some truth in it. One of those truths is that the Vulture will be Spidey's main adversary for the fourth web spin. And Falicia Harding, a long-running charater in the comic will make her debut, but not as the villain you fanboys are thinking of. Tune in and hear this one! As bad is the Spider-Man 4 news may be to some of you. It won't set a record for poor box office performance. At least, not like Transylmania did... Transyl-what, you're probably asking. Transylmania is a sequel to the Dorm Daze movies. And it's set a rather distinctive record in theatrical releases that hasn't been broken since the early nineties. And given movies have done better than ever this year, during a recession... well that's just an even worse black eye to the folks who made Transylmania. We'll break it down for you. Then it's onto a father's experiment on his own son. No needles or evil laboratories involved here... more like a galactic cultural exposure. Yeah, that sounds really official and probably is what kept social services off the guys back. Plus, Nielson released a list of songs that they believe qualify for "most popular" because of their total plays on the radio. There's a most-played song in each music genre leading up to the most played song of all in the last decade. Listen in and see if your favorite artist or song made it onto this list. If you're not into mainstream music, then probably not. And the show winds down with some odd laws from Colorado like being prohibited from letting your neighbor borrow your vacuum cleaner. I guess Colorado was tired of its residents embarressing the state on Judge Judy for unreturned property suits. Besides that, the final moments of our final 2009 show are filled with the final turning of a soap opera legend. CBS has canceled As The World Turns after a nearly sixty-year run. Bad ratings and revenue differentials are to blame here. Maybe CBS will replace it with another boring game show revival hosted by another Whose Line player. I'm thinking Brad Sherwood could host Super Market Sweep. Yeah, that wasn't a CBS show, but I guarantee it'd be far more entertaining than Wayne Brady's Lets Make A Deal... what's behind door number one? The god-damned TV remote I'm changing channels with, that's what.

    EPISODE 103 - Don't Double Your Dildos

    4 JAN 2010 · Who Asked You? has entered the new year! We can’t believe it’s already ought-ten… or O-ten, err… umm… ten. However the hell you’re supposed to say it, lets hope this one is better than the last. First up on the rundown is the Oxford American Dictionary word of the year. Who knew that lexicographers like to hold their own little competitions for favorite words. This years is, of course, tech related. It seems that’s where all the new words are coming from. Sadly, the winner beat out a certain verb used by Halo players the world over. Had they chose it, the dictionary would have had even more fun words to look up other than fart, shit and the like. And there’s news coming from the talk show world that another female host is leaving the daytime line up to focus on producing movies about women. Unlike Oprah though, me thinks many will be glad to see this one go. And one British actor is going from a captain to a knight. He’ll join the ranks of other distinguished thespians like Ian Holm and Ian McKellen, only his name isn’t Ian. If you’re not sure who we’re talking about, lets just say you may find this story “engaging”. We’ve also got a story today about an upcoming movie being kept hush hush… at least, by the writers, because two of the people involved in previous features are talkin’. Harold Ramis drops a few tidbits about the third Ghostbusters film while interviewing with Heeb Magazine. But his juice isn’t anything compared to what Sigourney Weaver blurts out during an Avatar press tour regarding the script. She lets us in on a few plot points that probably shouldn’t have left the firehouse. From there it’s onto a Comedy Central show that won’t be showing anymore. It only got one season and barely deserved that. If you’re a fan of Sesame Street you may enjoy what was his show. I’m sure you’ll be able to pick it up on DVD in the bargain bin soon. After that, we introduce another new segment on the show. It’s an X-rated take on our “Who Facted You?” bit. I know what you’re thinking, like we need more adult content on this show. Well we do… and we have it. Tune in for “Who Fucked You?” a short lesson on various moves and positions you can try and home with your lover. Some may involve props… and others may involve domestic abuse charges later. And then it’s onto “It’s The Law”. We’re headed to Arizona this week where apparently you’re only allowed a certain number of dildos per household. How many you ask? You’ll just have to tune in to find out.

    EPISODE 104 - The Replacement

    11 JAN 2010 · Notice anything different above? After two years of doing this show we’ve finally made a change that should’ve been made two years ago when we started it. We’re now naming our Who Asked You? episodes. Big deal! That’s what you’re thinking right? Well it is a big deal to us. All the other podcasts are doing it… why can’t we?!?! So from now on you can get an even briefer glimpse at what’s coming up on the show than those cryptic little sentences we’ve been using. This week’s show is called “The Replacement” because that’s what we’ve done with Dennis. We’ve replaced him. After last week’s show there was this huge argument over which Bowel Movement topic to do. Fists were thrown, as were microphones and even cables were used to choke unnamed participants. It was an ugly scene… and now Dennis is out. If you want to know the real reason Dennis isn’t on this week’s show you’ll have to tune in and find out. Sadly, it’s far less exciting than the fib above. But he’ll be back next week to chime in. And in fact, you can still hear him this week in The Bowel Movement. As for the main show, we’ve had a rather peculiar event take place. We have two E-Mails this week, which is unusual in itself, but both E-Mails are from guys named Marshall… Oooo, weird I know. The first is from Canadian Marshall who brings us a commercial for the Booty Pop. It’s a pair of panties for women featuring pads on the ass cheeks that are supposed to fool us fellows into thinking baby got back. First jeans with eyes that wink as you walk, then Chia Obama, now fake ass-enlarging underwear for women? The financial experts say we need a new industry to stimulate our economy… this is not what they meant. Our second E-Mail is from Australian Marshall… you remember him right? He co-hosted a show with us a few months back. He heard our Ghostbusters screenplay story last week and thought he’d fill us in on the missing piece… Dan Aykroid’s early script. All we can say is yikes! It was leaked online and IGN read it and wrote about it. Marshall sent us the links, which you can find in the Show Links. From there we play videos of racist fried chicken commercials from around the world. This enrages Mike, which is automatic entertainment for us all. A KFC spot in Australia was yanked from the airwaves after numerous complaints about its stereotypical nature regarding black folks and their apparent love of fried chicken. You can see the commercial for yourself in the Show Links as well as another unrelated on from Korea that depicts the same stereotype. Racist? Decide for yourself. We also take a few minutes to talk about what everyone else is talking about this week… Jay Leno’s move back to his previous time slot. NBC feels he’s better off at the old Tonight Show time following your late local news, but the reality is the network has bee flooded with complaints from local stations claiming his prime time show is killing the ratings of those late newscasts. People don’t want to watch Jay at 10:30, but they do at 11:30? That’s NBC’s logic. Not sure about it though. And later in the show we’ve got the Best Worst Most Least segment. As well as another arousing edition of Who Fucked You?. But before all that we get down and dirty with Dirty Peter Pan and the Black Penis of Evil. This is the latest work from the guys who previously brought us Dirty Potter and Dirty Barack. They’re at it again with this latest porn-ridden production. We’ve got some excerpts we hope you’ll enjoy.

    EPISODE 105 - It Looks Angry

    18 JAN 2010 · Because of his absence last week Dennis didn't get the chance to go off about the whole Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien debockle. And then as things heated up this past week and threats were made by NBC toward Conan if he didn't comply this just added fuel to Dennis' flame. It was hard for him this week... waiting until Monday's show to let out the pure venom toward the chinned late-night dumb ass. But finally the day arrived and without missing a beat our co-host ranted like never before. It's a rare occasion on our show that any one of us talks without being interrupted or spoken over for more than a few sentences, but today, Dennis sets a Who Asked You? record for NOT being interrupted. A record we'll never break. He lets Jeff Zucker, Jay Leno and NBC have it for nearly sixteen minutes. We jump in for a moment or two here and there. But for most of this quarter hour, Dennis is solely responsible. We'll note this day in the Who Asked You? logs and maybe someday we'll break the record. Probably when a new Star Wars trilogy comes out and Mike loses his mind. Or when JJ Abrams' next Star Trek releases and Chase starts mailing death threats. We'll see what the future of unabridged rants holds for the crew. Once all that is out of Dennis' system we move along to the latest news regarding Spider-Man 4 and how this will be the last news regarding it from this day on. Why is that you ask? Well, it's not because we're boycotting the film out of some specific anger. Or because all the news for it is done and now it's ready to start shooting... in fact, it's quite the opposite of that. Tune in to hear why. And we've received trillions of E-Mails asking us to update you on the purchase of the Terminator franchise since we last talked about it. Clearly there is a huge amount of interest in the film's future... and clearly, text on a webpage has once again ineffectively conveyed sarcasm. Whether it's important or not, we mull over the facts, prices and future home possibility of our favorite T-101. And we've also got a story today that's just too funny to spoil here. We want you to tune into the show to hear this one. All we'll say is it involves a pretty well known actor and an unfortunate event that occurs during shooting. And the title of today's episode is a reference to part of this story. Now we know your interest is peeked! This episode of the show also features another round of Who Fact You?. We haven't done it in a while so we thought we'd fill time with non-sensical data. Wait... that's pretty much every episode... let me try that again. We're doing Who Fact You? on today's show so get ready to learn some fun factoids. Finally, someone has taken the time to learn whether or not fish actually do remember things for more than three-seconds. The results are startling and can heard in a segment we introduced a few weeks back called According To A New Study. Dennis however, has a Who Fact You? moment of his own and fills us in on the dangers of Asian Carp and what state governments are doing to stop them. Riveting!

    EPISODE 106 - A Glance At The Gloom (Part 1)

    25 JAN 2010 · Today’s show is the first part of a unintentional two-part series. We say that because it wasn’t supposed to take up two shows. But what can we say? We talk a lot, and didn’t finish the list. This list we speak of is a collection of most of the major movies being released this year. To help us sift through it all is our new friend, “Mikey V PCP“, a local indie filmmaker from right here in Las Vegas! Charlie met him through some fellow Internet radio folks and we thought we’d have him stop by and endure the Hollywood hell that is the 2010 movie release schedule with us. With a total of sixteen pages, single spaced at 12 point font, the list of films hitting theaters this year is enormous. Sadly, ninety-percent of them are not worth the paper we printed them on. But that’s the fun of it! Chase rambles ‘em off and the guys go to town ripping them apart as they so deserve. We make it through five months on this episode and there’s maybe two or three films we think are worth the price of admission, which these days makes it very difficult to justify paying given Hollywood’s near inability to make entertaining movies anymore. There’s a few gems in this pile of horse manure, but most are simply fodder for the ravenous Who Asked You? Crew. Join us today, for part one of our 2010 movie preview show. We make it up to May before needing a rest from the horror that awaits us on the big screen. We return in two weeks with the remaining releases due out this year. There’s no show next Monday, February 1st because Mike and Dennis will be moving into a new home as will the Who Asked You? studios. But we’re back the week after that, February 8th for all-new shows and part two of our “glance at the gloom”.

    EPISODE 107 - A Glance At The Gloom (Part 2)

    8 FEB 2010 · The first half of the movie releases coming out this year were just too much. We needed a break and we know you needed one too. Everyone needed some time to absorb what they had heard on our show. The pure terror of what awaits us on the silver screen in 2010 had to be shuttered for a week while we all regained our composure. And we did just that. Last week was spent moving Mike and Dennis into their new home as well as moving all the Who Asked You? equipment into its. What better way to christen our new HQ than to finish up the Glance at Gloom 2010. When we last left you we had only made it up to May. So that's exactly where we pick up this week's show. May starts out hopeful though with Iron Man 2 debuting the first week. It's all kinda down hill from there though. To make things interesting and to prove our point that some of this year's releases are so outrageous it's as though they drew actors and plot points out of a hat, we decided to come up with a few of our own ideas for movies and throw them into the list randomly to see if you, or our co-hosts could tell the difference between the fake and the factual. As you'll hear, this proves increasingly difficult. We invite you to play along. Thank goodness our show returns to normal next week. I don't think anyone would survive this list another show. But since we're able to power through it with time to spare we won't have to worry about it anymore. We'll only have to worry when all these movies actually come out. There's even time at the end of the show to throw in some unknowns... movies that are coming out this year, the studios just don't know when yet. It's like holding a steamy turd and throwing it at a giant wall calendar and seeing where it splats.

    EPISODE 108 - Build-A-Bitch

    15 FEB 2010 · It's no secret that the Who Asked You? headquarters are based in sin city. Could they really be at home anywhere else? So whenever a concept for a new TV show or movie comes along that takes place in our beloved Mohave-based abode we look on it with much speculation. Will it be a proper representation of our community? Shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation would have those of you who don't live here believe there's a tropical forest west of town and that CSI headquarters is on the corner of two major streets that don't even cross each other. So when it came up this week that two new Vegas series have received pilot orders from NBC and CBS we thought we'd discuss the possibilities. Both series, of course, feature tired cliche gambling and Strip related names, but only one of the shows may potentially be entertaining enough to watch. We say this because the two guys writing and starring in it were quite successful already on another series on Comedy Central. However, Dennis' disgust is shown with the second series, this one for CBS, because its description uses the term "buddy cop"... and given this poorly executed ploy in recent movies, that's an automatic deal-killer. We've got some details for both shows these two networks may be rolling the dice on soon. Also on today's program is more reboot news. I'm not sure if you can tell or not, but I'm running out of ways to phrase that. It seems this kind of unfortunate info crops up at regular intervals now. This time the remake is a bit surprising given today's soccer-mom filled pamper-fest of a world we live in. It's actually a bit refreshing to see this particular movie being reintroduced given its morbid plot. And other remake is on its way... only this one comes from the mid 70's. Our favorite great white is coming back to the silver screen. Only this time he'll most likely be virtual as apposed to a giant foam rubber puppet. And for the SECOND time, although Universal would have you believe it's the first, the man-eating fish will be in 3D! Of course by now you have probably figured out we're talking about Jaws. What you may not know is who has been circling the Matt Hooper role. This is where I'd end the paragraph with "you'll want to hear this"... but, I'm not sure you do. Did you know that in Monroe, Utah the law states that daylight must be visible between dance partners on the dance floor? That's just one of the many oddball laws that come to us from the beehive state. And speaking of balls... did you know you could be fined as much as $50 for throwing snowballs in Provo? Man... what is there to do in Utah? As you might imagine, we get what some might consider a bit offensive with this It's The Law. But hey, if you listen to our show regularly, then like us, you can take a joke and are not easily offended. That also goes for another story on the script today. It seems in Australia there's starting to be a shortage of small-breasted women in porn there. A movement by some politicians would remove pornography featuring these less blessed ladies for a really stupid reason. You've got to hear this one. You'll also want to hear what female bodily function they want removed along with the tiny tits. It's all on today's Who Asked You?.

    EPISODE 109 - It's The Wood That Makes It Good

    22 FEB 2010 · Today we received an E-Mail from fan and recent guest-host Katsuhiko Jinnai regarding the new remake of "We Are The World". He felt he needed to rant about how awful it was. And that's cool with us. We welcome rants to our E-Mail form. God knows we do enough of it on the show and we want you to have that chance too. We've got the music video in the Show Links. Watch it and judge for yourself. A bit later in the show we get some career advice from a random vote on the We Ask You Online Poll. That's what we get when there's an "other" field. People sending their negative feedback about our show through the poll system. The question from last week asked what the most was you had ever spent on an eBay auction. A good portion of the voters said more than $50. This led us into a Best Worst Most Least segment. The first question being what the most was any of us had ever spent on eBay. Needless to say, we had all at some point spent more than $50 as well. The last question being the "worst" one... err... being the "worst" question in the segment, ahh... umm... you know what I mean. Not the worst question, but the "worst" question. Anyway, it somehow leads into a reminisce about one of Dennis' favorite eateries, Kenny Rogers Roasters, hence the title of today's show. Plus with all the talk of sexual positions and semen, it seemed only appropriate that the episode title have the word "wood" in it. We didn't have time to get to Who Fucked You? last week so we put it at the top of the to-do list this week. You know, because it's such an invaluable segment. As this segment usually does, it drops our show into an even cruder black hole. Usually we can climb out of it rather quickly with a segment of It's The Law or something, but not this week. Once in the hole, we grab some shovels and dig a little deeper with a story about a cook book published a few years back featuring only recipes that call for human semen. You can imagine the conversation on this one. The caliber of the show is raised, if only slightly, by the segment that follows, What Is Michael Bay Up To? Sometimes we have to check in with our good pal Michael Bay to see what explosion he's unleashing upon the world next. Turns out, it's an explosion of cash. And a good portion of it was probably yours at one time. You know, that brief time before you went to see Transformers 2? Plus, the folks who brought us Black Dynamite is bringing us... well... Black Dynamite again. This time in the form of an Adult Swim animated series on Cartoon Network. The company that animated the credit sequence at the start of the film will also be charged with animated this new series. According to Black Dynamite's director they're going to use many of the ideas in the cartoon that they couldn't practically execute in the live-action movie. If the ideas for the cartoon are wilder than those in the movie this show is going to be nuts! And Bill Shatner will have to write a sequel to his autobiography, "Up Till Now" because he's landed another role on television! This time it's saying crazy shit as someone's dad. We brought you some news a few shows back about a guy who scored a TV pilot deal from posting random one-liners his dad would say to him on Twitter. Well it appears Captain Kirk has warped into the lead role for that pilot. This could be good... but we're still apprehensive. A show based on a Twitter account? A dirty one at that. Most of the shit this guy's dad says can't be said on network TV. But here's hoping the Price Line Negotiator can make it work.
