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.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/975854/who-asked-you-episode-100/Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:00:00 +0000Chasecom MediaSo 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From there we bring you last week's poll results. You may remember we talked about the semen-based cook book found at lulu.com. Well we asked you the listeners if you'd ever try a recipe that had semen in it and the answers were quite interesting. We posed the question to Evan, and his answer was too.
And as we mentioned last week Charlie had the chance to interview a couple of voice-actors, Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt from Hollywood about working in the field of voice over. He met up with them at their book signing here in Las Vegas and chatted for about 30 minutes. We've got a small chunk of that discussion on today's show and you can hear the entire interview below!

And since we're considered haters by many who listen to our show, what better awards to talk about than those that reward flagrant incompetence. The fellas chime in with their thoughts on each of the nominees. And as you'll hear, several of the films and their casts and crews are nominated in several categories. It's easy to figure out by the 5 noms you'll hear over and over which 5 flicks could be considered the worst of 2009. And since we're rounding out another decade the Razzies are considering the worst actors, actresses and movies of the past ten years in 3 special "of the decade" categories. We've got those too.

At some point we put the porno down and after rambling about Ninja Turtles, how racist Smurfs were and the fact that Snorks had big dicks on their heads, get into some sort of... umm... show... ish thing.
Irreverent banter plagues your ears as we go through this week's list of new DVD releases. From there it's onto a new clip fresh from the dirty presses of Dirty Potter.

First off, we read an E-Mail, from Warren! We told you he's a faithful comment sender. Even the sending something the week he stops by to be on.
One of his questions is whether or not any of us can cook. We posed this same question to all of you in last week's We Ask You Online Poll. Come to find out, the Who Asked You? Crew all have their own rudimentary recipes they're capable of conjuring up. As with all of our conversations on the show, this one latches onto one thing and derails with it into a less related discussion. At least this time it's still food... if you can call Pop-Tarts food. Yes, we get into an analysis of Pop-Tarts, Kellogg's depressing attempt at a morning pastry. That again, veers off into spaghetti and hot dogs from Jollibee, a Filipino fast-food restaurant. Somewhere in all of this Mike brings up a product for the ladies called "Shake Weight". It's a small weight that uses centrifugal force to burn fat off of a chick's arms. The unfortunate part is that it looks like the female using the device is jerking it off. One can't help but wonder if the designers of this thing weren't cracking up and high-fiving each other as it went to the manufacturer. You can have a look at the thing for yourself in our Show Links.
A second E-Mail is from another fellow who has dropped us a line from time to time. Patrick in Missoula, Montana asks us if we saw Alice In Wonderland yet. The answer is yes. He then gives us a very Who Asked You? review of the film that gets us laughing pretty hard. He also wonders if we'd watched the new trailer for the Tron Legacy movie. The film looks visually stunning! Lets hope the story is just as enticing. You can check out the trailer yourself by following the link in the Show Links.
After E-Mails it's onto new DVD releases. And from there it's onto Chapter 2 of Dirty The Pooh and the Hundred-Acre Shit Pile. Dirty Potter is keeping busy with the tale of Pooh and friends as they masturbate uncontrollably on each other. Poop everywhere and cuss each other out. All told by that prince of British entertainment, Jim Dale. Warren's a fan, as he has stated in previous E-Mails, of the Dirty Potter clips so this is a special treat for him.
We also finally get to Idaho's edition of It's The Law so that we may finally tell you which two animal's backs you may not fish from in the state. There's actually three animals, but one is only illegal in Boise. There's also a law forbidding one to walk down the street with a red-tipped cane. What profession comes to your mind where a person would have a cane and is one we would immediately go to on our show? It's in the title....
We end the show with a story of a sixth-grade teacher trying to identify with his students by calling them names on their graded papers. One mother gets pretty pissed when he writes "loser" on her daughters homework. We weigh in on this one. And you're more than welcome to also. And if you weigh enough, you might just find yourself on the show!]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/975866/who-asked-you-potato-pimpin/Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:00:00 +0000Chasecom MediaIf you wanna be on the show just E-Mail us!

As with all of our conversations on the show, this one latches onto one thing and derails with it into a less related discussion. At least this time it's still food... if you can call Pop-Tarts food. Yes, we get into an analysis of Pop-Tarts, Kellogg's depressing attempt at a morning pastry. That again, veers off into spaghetti and hot dogs from Jollibee, a Filipino fast-food restaurant. Somewhere in all of this Mike brings up a product for the ladies called "Shake Weight". It's a small weight that uses centrifugal force to burn fat off of a chick's arms. The unfortunate part is that it looks like the female using the device is jerking it off. One can't help but wonder if the designers of this thing weren't cracking up and high-fiving each other as it went to the manufacturer. You can have a look at the thing for yourself in our Show Links.
A second E-Mail is from another fellow who has dropped us a line from time to time. Patrick in Missoula, Montana asks us if we saw Alice In Wonderland yet. The answer is yes. He then gives us a very Who Asked You? review of the film that gets us laughing pretty hard. He also wonders if we'd watched the new trailer for the Tron Legacy movie. The film looks visually stunning! Lets hope the story is just as enticing. You can check out the trailer yourself by following the link in the Show Links.
After E-Mails it's onto new DVD releases. And from there it's onto Chapter 2 of Dirty The Pooh and the Hundred-Acre Shit Pile. Dirty Potter is keeping busy with the tale of Pooh and friends as they masturbate uncontrollably on each other. Poop everywhere and cuss each other out. All told by that prince of British entertainment, Jim Dale. Warren's a fan, as he has stated in previous E-Mails, of the Dirty Potter clips so this is a special treat for him.
We also finally get to Idaho's edition of It's The Law so that we may finally tell you which two animal's backs you may not fish from in the state. There's actually three animals, but one is only illegal in Boise. There's also a law forbidding one to walk down the street with a red-tipped cane. What profession comes to your mind where a person would have a cane and is one we would immediately go to on our show? It's in the title....
We end the show with a story of a sixth-grade teacher trying to identify with his students by calling them names on their graded papers. One mother gets pretty pissed when he writes "loser" on her daughters homework. We weigh in on this one. And you're more than welcome to also. And if you weigh enough, you might just find yourself on the show!]]>3601dirtypotter,dumblaws,homework,jollibee,pop-tartsyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-113-attention-wal-mart-customersWal-Mart takes a strong moral stance against what we feel constitutes profane, immoral or pornographic language, suggestion and behavior.

In the bin you'll find "sex.com" for roughly a tenth of it's retail value. You won't see rolled-back prices like these again.

You remember him right? He sat in with us on EPISODE 92. He got a little behind on his Who Asked episodes, but finally got the chance to catch up and decided to E-Mail us afterward with an update about a story we did involving the ban on underaged-looking women in porn. He's got some detail in a lengthy E-Mail!
Some of our new releases are real and some are not. It's too easy these days to make up a faulty movie title and mix it in with the real deals. So many legitimate titles seem like someone is playing a trick on you nowadays. One release, it's authenticity not being disclosed here, brings up some old TV blunder memories all thanks to the moronic programmers of the once mighty UPN network. "The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer" (the P is NOT silent) is no April Fool's prank. It's not made up. This was a real show that aired on network television albeit for an embarrassing four episodes. But nevertheless... if you've never heard of this show, Google it. And prepare to be amazed that it was ever green lit.
There's news of two classic sitcoms going the way of the big screen adaptation. Details of these have been "altered" for the sake of the whole April Fool's Day thing we're claiming to be doing this week, blah blah... and so on. And along with those stories are a couple that, in whole, may or may not be true. Will you be fooled?
There's a special edition of Who Facted You? on today's show as well. These facts are extra true and you should learn them and remember them for all time. For the knowledge we expel today during this bit could change your very understanding of the universe. What kind of knowledge you ask? Well, knowledge like how many times Bill O'Reilly farts during his show. Now that Fox News link in the Show Links is starting to make sense isn't it?

Charlie is taking a stand-up comic class that Joe is teaching and asked if he'd like to stop by and hang out with us. Joe said yeah, and here we are.
We first get the lowdown on Joe and how he got into comedy. He tells us about his career and all the places he's gone doing stand-up. Joe has one particular story about a gig he did in Elko, Nevada that led to some physical violence after the show. You'll enjoy this story.
Besides that we drift from one topic to another leaving no stone unturned. From hookers in Hawaii and how much they probably cost, to Tiger Woods' press conference, hush money, morbid Nike commercial and ball cleaning on the course, it all gets a once over by us.
The randomness rolls on with Nick Cage having to sell his castle, movies that he was in that were actually good, Terry Fator using his puppets as sex toys and how fat the dude is that does Elmo's voice. Sprinkle in some dead jokes about Corey Haim, Danny Gans, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett and you soon realize this is one of the most awesome conversations ever! Just like Joe's show, we're not happy until we've offended and pissed off at least one person.
We round out the show with Joe's take on Jay Leno. We won't tell you what it is here. We gotta at least try and make you listen to the program.
So no E-Mails, new releases or poll results this week. We'll get back on all of that next week. For now, pull up a chair, crack open your favorite brew and enjoy the show. If you like this one, we know you'll like Joe's.

Ranging from the conversation 2-weeks ago about using the "N" word, to stupid inconsiderate people and their douchey Blue Tooth devices, and even a self-promotion from a couple of podcasters just starting their show. We've done the self-plug thing too, so we've got a link to their show in the Show Links.
After new releases, one of which is delayed by 2 days to coincide with Earth Day on Thursday, we jump right in to a rapid-fire of events taking place these past couple of weeks. Last week you may remember we featured Las Vegas comedian, Joe Lowers on the show and spent the whole episode talking to him about random stuff. So this week we're able to catch up on crap that happened the week we were off and last week.
Conan O'Brien is returning to television in November. That's one of our little stories. Of course, most folks probably know that by now. He'll be heading to cable where he'll own all of the rights to his show. Something he couldn't do at NBC. He'll air at 11pm on TBS just before Lopez Tonight... and we'll be watching. Well, Charlie probably won't.
And in other George Lopez news, he and his wife are working on a current day adaptation of the old Speedy Gonzales cartoon. You've got to tune into this show to hear his wife's description of the screenplay she's writing. It's vague and leaves you wondering if we'll even recognize Speedy.
Also on the list, the winner for 2009's oddest book title. We talked about the nominees a long time ago on the show, and now we have the winner! If your curiosity is getting the best of you and you want to pick up a copy of the book, the link is in our Show Links. And Chase also mentions a few winners from past years, one of which partially inspired this week's episode title. You'll have to listen all the way to the end of the program to hear the other half of the inspiration.
Then we have exciting casting news for the next Harold and Kumar, followed by both non-human and puzzling human casting news for Transformers 3 in another edition of What Is "Michael Bay Up To?" He's gathered a few actors that you wouldn't necessarily picture in a Transformers flick. Then again, one of them is an actor who has recently been showing up in everything! But don't panic, it's not Ryan Reynolds.
We close out the show with a story about a Florida bank who needs to really make sure none of their tellers lean on the key boards. Most likely it was a stapler or other office supply that landed on it. But we like to think a couple of tellers were getting busy and the female participant was plopped onto the desk in a moment of animalistic passion and her ass punched the correct sequence of keys making one of the banks customers a very rich man.

He sums up several shorter E-Mails he inexplicably didn't send in one long message. He covers several issues from the bastardization of his youth to where he thinks 3D technology is heading. Rowynn and Mikey V throw him a few critical observations and await his reply. Mistress Rowynn's website is in the show links and she says she answers all of her E-Mails herself!
A moment of confusion follows on the show. They happen an awful lot don't they? As always we've got the new releases on DVD for this week. One of them is "Leap Year" which stars Amy Adams... not to be confused with Rachel McAdams, which the Mistress and Charlie do. Rachel McAdams had nothing to do with this movie. She did have a lot to do with Sherlock Holmes. And according to Charlie, they didn't DO with her what they should've. Dennis storyboards what the detective movie should have been for Charlie who feels, like Mistress Rowynn, that Rachel was wearing far too much clothing. Charlie agrees with Dennis' sequence of events and Rowynn has moment to herself imagining Rachel naked.
A fabulous new friend is getting drawn into a nostalgic comic book. The kids in it live in a town called Riverdale. Chase teases this story at the top of the show in a similar manner, who do you think immediately knew what he was talking about? Tune in to see if you're right! The company who prints this mystery comic series says they're bringing in a gay character to stay current and reflect the changing times.
Comics aren't the only ones trying to stay current though. Sega, the once mighty video game console company is continuing its rejuvenation by laying off a ton of employees. They're consolidating their US and London offices and are getting into the downloadable game business. It's unclear exactly what their downloadable video games will be. Are we talking something along the lines of World of Warcraft or... Farmville? Don't worry, their London office will take over console and PC game development. It's the US office in California that will work on this new digital venture.
Tired of hearing about people who are richer than you? I know... me too. So why not hear about people that are richer than you that aren't even real. Forbes has come out with their updated 2010 list of the richest fictional people. There are 15 in all, 6 of which are new to the list this year. Did your favorite fake fat-cat make the list. Dennis' did!
AMC, still on their high-horse over Mad Men and Breaking Bad thinks they may be able to do it again; having a smash hit series. Only this one will make TV history for its subject matter. It'll most likely be a one-hour action/drama and will be based on a wildly popular ongoing comic book series involving some folks that are living-challenged. Yep, you guessed it... the Z word.
We'll also talk about a new Godzilla remake that is NOT a sequel to Roland Emmerich's New York-stomping turd. And we have news of Seth McFarlane and a couple of his Family Guy writing buddies doing up a script for a movie about a man and his teddy bear. McFarlane would direct the movie and voice the bear, which apparently comes to life. It'll be interesting to hear Brian's voice coming out of a bear instead of a dog.
We travel to Rhode Island for a long overdue edition of It's The Law. This state has some of the most dated sounding laws on their books that we've come across. The more antiquated the ordinance... the better! One of the laws actually has the word "trolly" in it. Yeesss!!!
Finally, a story of mystery and intrigue. It could easily be an episode of Law and Order: WGIABGDFC or white guy in a black guy disguise fools cops.

Dennis storyboards what the detective movie should have been for Charlie who feels, like Mistress Rowynn, that Rachel was wearing far too much clothing. Charlie agrees with Dennis' sequence of events and Rowynn has moment to herself imagining Rachel naked.
A fabulous new friend is getting drawn into a nostalgic comic book. The kids in it live in a town called Riverdale. Chase teases this story at the top of the show in a similar manner, who do you think immediately knew what he was talking about? Tune in to see if you're right! The company who prints this mystery comic series says they're bringing in a gay character to stay current and reflect the changing times.
Comics aren't the only ones trying to stay current though. Sega, the once mighty video game console company is continuing its rejuvenation by laying off a ton of employees. They're consolidating their US and London offices and are getting into the downloadable game business. It's unclear exactly what their downloadable video games will be. Are we talking something along the lines of World of Warcraft or... Farmville? Don't worry, their London office will take over console and PC game development. It's the US office in California that will work on this new digital venture.
Tired of hearing about people who are richer than you? I know... me too. So why not hear about people that are richer than you that aren't even real. Forbes has come out with their updated 2010 list of the richest fictional people. There are 15 in all, 6 of which are new to the list this year. Did your favorite fake fat-cat make the list. Dennis' did!
AMC, still on their high-horse over Mad Men and Breaking Bad thinks they may be able to do it again; having a smash hit series. Only this one will make TV history for its subject matter. It'll most likely be a one-hour action/drama and will be based on a wildly popular ongoing comic book series involving some folks that are living-challenged. Yep, you guessed it... the Z word.
We'll also talk about a new Godzilla remake that is NOT a sequel to Roland Emmerich's New York-stomping turd. And we have news of Seth McFarlane and a couple of his Family Guy writing buddies doing up a script for a movie about a man and his teddy bear. McFarlane would direct the movie and voice the bear, which apparently comes to life. It'll be interesting to hear Brian's voice coming out of a bear instead of a dog.

And today we made that dream come true! Glen brings his perspective to this episode's topics. Which as I mentioned, are few and far between.
We've got a few words on Iron Man 2, hence the Nick Fury image at the left. We saw it on Saturday. I'm going to warn you now this conversation has what some might consider SPOILERS. Just be aware. If you don't want to hear them fast forward to about 8 minutes in.
It's at that point where we actually get to the E-Mails for this week and start to roll into the show. Both E-Mails, from 2 of our usual E-Mailers are quite entertaining in their own respects. First, a rant regarding Mistress Rowynn on last week's show. Then we're given a list, which we make it through very little of, containing various things, places, sayings and shows that those of us who grew up in the late 80's to early 90's will know all about. Some of the items we remember, some we don't. And a few we'd be happy to forget.
Our first big story for today begs the question, what's happening to society? Of course, we kinda ask that question every week. The Social Security Administration says that the name Isabella has become the most popular baby name for girls this year do solely to the Twilight movies. For boys, the most popular is Jacob. Now this name was near the top of the list long before Twilight came out. But since one of the characters in that story shares this name, I don't think it'll be dropping down too many spots anytime soon. Former popular names like Miley and Jonas saw significant drops in status thanks to that awkward chick who can't act in Twilight and her douchey sparkling blood sucker pals. We're wondering if you'd name your baby after one of these characters? Or any character for that matter from TV or film. Tell us in this week's We Ask You Online Poll. I had to put that here because as you might have guessed, I don't get a chance to read the poll question on the actual show.
The only other story we semi get to this week is the one regarding a new sequel for "The Dark Crystal". This one hits close to home for Mike and Dennis. Mike, because he's a fanboy of traditional animation, puppetry and movie making. Dennis because of David Bowie's enormous package being flaunted across the frame in Labyrinth. To give you an idea of how quickly things go off topic to subjects like "skinny jeans" through this whole episode, the Dark Crystal sequel story was around 13 sentences long. I make it through about 4 of them. I don't do this often, but if you're curious about the other 9 or so, here it is, exactly as it appeared on the rundown:
18 years after the original film debuted The Jim Hensen Company has announced a sequel to "The Dark Crystal". This next film called, "The Power of the Dark Crystal" will be produced entirely in Australia. Some of the more complex visual effects are already being worked on there. The producers say this film will be a mix of live-action and traditional puppetry, but will also feature CGI effects and environments. Best of all... the movie will be in 3D!!! Peter and Michael Spierig, the writers and directors of Undead and Daybreakers will direct "The Power of the Dark Crystal". The script is being written by Craig Pearce who previously wrote Moulin Rouge!, Strictly Ballroom and Romeo and Juliet. Michael Spierig says quote, "We feel a tremendous amount of responsibility in telling this story with the same meticulous care that Jim Henson and Frank Oz gave the 1982 original." Peter Spierig added, "This is a chance to take the world of puppetry into the modern age by using modern techniques (like motion capture CGI) and the tried and true methods (like puppetry and animatronics) to create a one hundred percent real world that is unique to The Dark Crystal.” End quote. The sequel takes place hundreds of years after the original. The world has fallen back into darkness. A mysterious girl made of fire, with the help of a Gelfling outcast, goes on an adventure with a piece of the legendary crystal in an attempt to reignite the dying sun at the center of the planet. The Power of the Dark Crystal is set to hit theaters sometime next year.

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.

One of the DVDs coming out this week is Wolfman. Instead of watching this film, Dennis elected to view another feature called "The Human Centiped". You can read up on this movie and what it's about in the Show Links. Dennis enjoyed it immensely! There goes that sarcasm that's hard to convey in text form again. Read the description of this movie at IMDb and you'll understand all.
Patrick asked if we could do an edition of It's The Law today since it's his favorite segment. And since Patrick attends school in Montana, that's the state we're headed to. Listen at the end of the segment for perhaps the most random and obscure law we've ever had. Maybe you can think of a better one? If so, let us know! It'll be hard to top this one though.
And for the second week in row we revisit the schedule of events in Michael Bay's iPhone. Normally we wouldn't see what he's up to twice in a row... too emotionally draining. But this was too good, or bad rather to pass up.
We wanted Patrick to get the real Who Asked You? experience. The full-on immersive environment that is our obnoxious little program. So naturally, we had to include a story about genitals. You think a sac tap is all fun and games? You think back handing your buddy's balls in clever? Then you need to hear this story. This goes for all parties involved. If you're often the recipient of these playful attacks you'll want to guard the family jewels a little more closely. And if you're often the attacker, first you'll want to ask yourself why you enjoy touching other dude's crouches so much, but then, you may want to rethink your ball-bustin' all together, or you may end up in a place where bigger dudes like touching your crouch.

Those aren't the only facts we have for you this week. We felt it necessary to bring you up-to-date on the cold hard facts surrounding Steven Seagal's legal troubles. As many of you are quite aware, we have an unusual infatuation with 80's movie stars and the films they did. We grew up watching guys like Seagal, so when there's trouble abound we like to monitor the situation. It would be totally awesome if Seagal reenacted the bar scene from "Out For Justice" in the courtroom. He could start with the bitch who's filed a lawsuit against him. Claiming the actor expected her to become his personal sex toy. Then he could move onto the judge, maybe clock him with the gavel a few times until he dismisses the charges. But then again, Steven Seagal is a little sleazy looking. He may very well be guilty of the accusations. It's tough to say. What do you think? Vote on this week's We Ask You Online Poll and tell us what you believe.
And it's the third time in a row that we're forced to find out what Michael Bay is up to. My god... at this rate we may have to turn it into its own show. This week's update is pretty short though. He takes a moment to pass the "Revenge of the Fallen-sucking" blame off onto the writers and then lets us all in on the not at all exciting news of who the villain will be in the third feature. It should be Megan Fox, but it's not.
Then we'll tell you where they found Bruce. That's all I can really say. Listen to the show and you'll learn who Bruce is and where he's been for the past 35 years.
A large chunk of chicks that are of child bearing age in this country don't seem to mind if they bear a child. That's according to a new study recently released. It seems about 1 in every 4 women polled wouldn't care one way or another if they got preggers. This is cause for some alarm, as well as an endless supply of Maury episodes.
And lastly on episode 123 we take a moment to bash McDonald's and its BP-like incompetence when it comes to the promotional junk they shove in kids faces. It seems collectible cups for the new Shrek movie aren't up to American standards, which these days is becoming a gray area.

After a week off, the Who Asked You? Crew has returned with a couple of more new episodes before our big live debut on ErrorFM. On our last interaction with you, we brought to your attention via a listener E-Mail a new dance sweeping YouTube called the "Dick Slang". If you haven't seen this, it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. We've got listener reaction to it as well as a few other things like Pop-Tart instructions and the decade of the 80s.
From there, the details on Amanda Bynes aforementioned early retirement. Followed by a whirlwind of movie crap that's not very important, but we talk about it anyway. For starters, the Addams Family is getting a brand new remake in the form of classic stop-motion animation. Somewhere out there Christina Ricci perked up for a moment and slumped back into her seat after I said stop-motion. This new Addams Family won't take after the old TV series or films, but rather the original 1938 comic strip that ran in The New Yorker. It's possible they'll do it in black and white and it's possible Tim Burton will direct... at least that's the hope. He is involved in the project, but nothing official yet.
Also not official when it comes to whose sitting in the director's chair is Peter Jackson with his Hobbit films. Back in May, Guillermo del Toro decided to not direct the Lord of the Rings prequels. So now Jackson is considering the job for himself. He's already a co-writer and the executive producer. Might as well put on one more hat... or... ring?
And NPH is alive! He's confirmed he will appear in Harold and Kumar's third pot peppered picture. This one called "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas" will co-star Patton Oswalt along with the usuals, John Cho and Kal Penn... thankfully.
If at anytime you're ever listening to our show while we're listening to Dirty Potter tracks and wonder if anything ever gets left on the cutting room floor, we have an answer for you on today's show. It turns out there are bits and pieces that don't make it into Jim Dale's romps through profanity and pornography. And we'll play some of them for you courtesy of Dirty Potter himself. Listen for a special cameo from some of our old Dirty Potter faves!
And there's a very "Charlie" story on this week's show. It involves, as Dennis has come to realize a lot of things do with the Cheese, blood and mayhem. We'll take you to the great state of Utah where they don't waste electricity or deadly intravenous chemicals on their death row prisoners, but rather bullets! Yep... like a super-twisted It's The Law, we've found out that Utah still uses firing squads for its death penalties. One such bullet barrage took place just last week!
And after that, condoms... it's the closest story we could find to genitalia in the news this week. The creepy factor on this one has us going off for over 10 minutes. In Massachusetts a school district, starting this fall, will start giving out condoms to its students no questions asked, and no phone calls to parents. As if that's not upsetting enough to some, there's really no age limit on who can request them. The school district says that students in as low as the first grade can ask the nurse for a rubber and may very well get it! Does this seem a little inappropriate to you? After the show make your voice heard! Vote on the We Ask You Online Poll and tell us if you think the schools there should be doing this.

Oh, umm... sorry! I was having a moment with Amanda. Devastating news out of Hollywood this hour as Ms. Bynes announced in a Tweet that she is leaving acting. Okay, it's not that big...We are back! After a week off, the Who Asked You? Crew has returned with a couple of more new episodes before our big live debut on ErrorFM. On our last interaction with you, we brought to your attention via a listener E-Mail a new dance sweeping YouTube called the "Dick Slang". If you haven't seen this, it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. We've got listener reaction to it as well as a few other things like Pop-Tart instructions and the decade of the 80s.
From there, the details on Amanda Bynes aforementioned early retirement. Followed by a whirlwind of movie crap that's not very important, but we talk about it anyway. For starters, the Addams Family is getting a brand new remake in the form of classic stop-motion animation. Somewhere out there Christina Ricci perked up for a moment and slumped back into her seat after I said stop-motion. This new Addams Family won't take after the old TV series or films, but rather the original 1938 comic strip that ran in The New Yorker. It's possible they'll do it in black and white and it's possible Tim Burton will direct... at least that's the hope. He is involved in the project, but nothing official yet.
Also not official when it comes to whose sitting in the director's chair is Peter Jackson with his Hobbit films. Back in May, Guillermo del Toro decided to not direct the Lord of the Rings prequels. So now Jackson is considering the job for himself. He's already a co-writer and the executive producer. Might as well put on one more hat... or... ring?
And NPH is alive! He's confirmed he will appear in Harold and Kumar's third pot peppered picture. This one called "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas" will co-star Patton Oswalt along with the usuals, John Cho and Kal Penn... thankfully.
If at anytime you're ever listening to our show while we're listening to Dirty Potter tracks and wonder if anything ever gets left on the cutting room floor, we have an answer for you on today's show. It turns out there are bits and pieces that don't make it into Jim Dale's romps through profanity and pornography. And we'll play some of them for you courtesy of Dirty Potter himself. Listen for a special cameo from some of our old Dirty Potter faves!

We refer to it as the "Bureau Of Acquisitions". Whatever you might call it, one thing is for sure, we promote it regularly on our show. Hence today's title, which actually a quote from an E-Mail Viacom presented to a US District Court, it's a name Google called YouTube in this E-Mail shortly before buying them. Simply put, Google was being sued by Viacom for numerous copyright violations on YouTube. Viacom was showing the judge that even before Google's acquisition of YouTube they thought too, the site was promoting copyright infringement. But luckily, our lawmakers did at least one thing right 12 years ago by passing a little Interweb law protecting sites like YouTube from copyright lawsuits if they remove the content in question when asked by its owners. The judge heard Viacom's case, but sited this law and threw the lawsuit out. A victory for those of us and those companies that realize things are different now. The business models television has worked with all these years no longer applies. Cast, crews and production budgets are just going to have to be cheaper. You'll hear much more about this on today's show and we invite your opinions too! a Send us your thoughts to be read on the air.
Before all that jazz we conjure up some magical news from the new "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" attraction at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. It seems American theme parks these days are facing a 'growing' dilemma... pun — which will become apparent momentarily — intended. We park-goers are no longer faced with just the "you must be this tall to ride the ride" signs, but also tests that measure our girth. Or in a sense, "you can't be this wide to ride" signs. At the Harry Potter park there are test seats that some of our more inflated muggles must try out to make sure they can safely go on the rides. Humiliating? Possibly, but the parks do this for visitor safety. And this goes far beyond theme parks. Remember Kevin Smith and the airplane fiasco? Here comes that pun... it's a growing problem in America for businesses who emphasize something as simple as a chair or bench. Not just growing as in more and more... but also as in literally getting bigger. They're having to increase weight limits, widen seats or in Disney's case, deepen pools to accommodate this country's growing waist line. Once again, it's a different time. Things are changing.
And it doesn't stop there. A whole new era is on the way for one of DC Comic's most iconic heroines. After almost 70 years Wonder Woman is getting a makeover. She's ditching the patriotic Daisy Dukes in favor of a more modern, tough look. Her story is also going through a reboot. Something we at Who Asked You? all agree is NOT a good idea. Anytime you start messing with backstories and the continuity of established characters and worlds it's not only confusing to readers both new and old, but it's a disservice to all the writers before you who worked so hard to maintain that story and build up a rich interesting character you could really enjoy. But like so many, the comic book industry is having to, here comes that word again, change to keep up with today's society. Will this new Wonder Woman usher in a whole new generation of readers? I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm betting though, they may be a bit heavier and many of them will be far more adroit at finding comics and their favorite TV shows using the Bureau. And if they listen to our show, we'll just enable them.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/975879/who-asked-you-rogue-enablers-of-content-theft/Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000Chasecom MediaThis week's show is a lot about change.

The answer to that is as follows. You all know us... we enjoy a good tirade, especially when it's not our own. And we've got a doozy for you this week. It was recently in the news that Mel Gibson split from Oksana Grigorieva after a short romance, oh yeah... and a child! Well Mel must've been drunk, according to some reports and he called up Oksana to let her have it over the way she dresses and her breast implants. Little did Mel know she was taping the conversation for everyone's entertainment. You'll hear the uncensored bashing on today's show. And Mel even makes a reference to the Who Asked You? hometown, Las Vegas! Of course he adds whores in there with it, but hey! It's Vegas! We're used to that.
The main focus on today's show is a couple of stories involving some regular guys who put their jobs in jeopardy over something they posted online. The first story revolves around a young man who was a mascot for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He vented his frustration on Facebook regarding the contract extension of some folks (his bosses) he felt weren't doing their job. A 12 game losing streak? Yeah... they aren't too good at what they do. Nevertheless, the truth hurts. And when the powers that be got wind of this guy's Facebook posting, he got fired.
A similar case out of Missouri has pitted a YouTube poster against his employer, Best Buy. In this case he created some funny-ass videos (one of which is the inspiration for this episode's title) illustrating the idiocy of people when it comes to smart phones and how none of them do their research and just flock to one particular brand because it's "what's cool" *cough* iPhone *cough*. Because Best Buy doesn't want its employees badmouthing its customers, they've given this guy an ultimatum regarding his part-time job there. This launches one of those half-an-episode conversations about where the line should be drawn in this new online world. Should employers have the right to fire their employees for stuff they post online outside of work? We dive into this topic and we want you to give us your opinion too. You can vote on the We Ask You Online Poll and if you have something else to say about it, send us an E-Mail.
Sometimes you don't need to post bad things online to get fired. Sometimes you just need to steal over a million dollars from your employer. And you get bonus firing points if your boss is a church! Meet Reverend Kevin J. Gray. He feels as though his church owes him a little somethin' for all the trouble they've put him through over the years. You will not believe the "sins" this guy committed against his own parish. There's a list of them! And we'll tell you all about it.
Because we spend so much time talking about employers and their firing power we don't get to some of our other content on this week's show. You can look it up for yourself, E-Mail me for it or just wait and maybe we'll have it when we return with new shows on July 25th...

A very good DJ friend of Charlie's named William T. Lane lent him a track of his music to play on this week's show. You can hear this awesome mix on this episode and you can check out William's site below in the Show Links. In the future, if we're given music to play on these extended shows you'll hear them in the recorded version. But for now, music distribution is still a tender spot on the Interwebs. So, the stuff we don't necessarily have permission to include will only be heard on the live Sunday night show. That's what we call an incentive. It should entice you to tune into the live show.
What's on this live show you might be wondering by now? Well for starters, Evan Pederson from FancyPantsGangsters.com is sitting in studio!!! Not via Skype, he actually used some of his Fancy Pants travel budget to fly out to Las Vegas and hang out with us. He also brought us delicious salsa from a local Minnesotan micro-brewery.
We start the show off with several E-Mails from listeners. One brings up the recent reveal of the Green Lantern costume for the new movie starring Ryan Reynolds. If you're a regular listener you know that Charlie is a HUGE Green Lantern fan, so it was imperative that we get his views on the digital threads. Does he like it? Tune in to find out.
We also talk about the recent decision by Lucasfilm Ltd. to ban former Darth Vader body actor, David Prowse from all future company-sponsored events. Apparently David's been running his mouth a little too much regarding decisions Lucas made 30 years ago about Darth Vader's voice. David should've tuned into our last show when we aired a word of caution after the story about the guy who got fired for posting negative comments about his employers on his Facebook page. You gotta be careful what you say about your boss these days.
Another big story this week is Sylvester Stallone's revelation about which movie from the late 80s he thinks killed the good ol' shoot-em-up action flicks we all cherish today. His choice may surprise you. Be sure to tune in for that. Then afterward visit the "We Ask You Online Poll" and tell us if you agree or not with Sly's assessment. You're also welcome to send us your thoughts in an E-Mail. We'll read it on the show!
And the Hansel and Gretel poster above is no joke. Our favorite least favorite director has tasked one of his production companies with developing a live-action 3D version of this Grimm fairy tale. Wait until you hear what they plan to do with it. By the way, that teaser poster is real. We didn't make it. You have to love the text logo and its coloring. What was that? A total of 5 minutes in Photoshop?

When you hear Mel's colorful metaphors for the Russian gal or when he calls her pre-teen son a pussy you immediately wonder if this is a bad joke. It's not. If there's one thing Mel has shown us these past couple of years, it's that he's insane. These phone calls are just the last crazy nail in his nuthouse coffin. This one falls under the 'funny' category for sure.
Besides Mel Gibson's evident boo boos, there's another Boo Boo in the spotlight. This one comes in the form of a computer generated bear cub wearing a purple bowtie. The trailer for the live-action Yogi Bear movie debuted on the net last week. The film will feature CGI versions of the ol' Hanna-Barbera staples. With 2 well known actors portraying the bears you might think this too is a bad joke. Alas, it's real. The movie is due out this Christmas. Tune into the show to find out which of these actors actually tries to put some effort into his voice-over gig. Surprisingly, he's not too shabby at it either... still, the simple fact that this is yet another cartoon to movie adaptation after such gems as Space Jam, George of the Jungle and Alvin and the Chipmunks 1 and 2, it comes out as just plain unfortunate.
Another story on this week's show is no so much a bad joke as it is bad math. The National Association of Theater Owners wants you to believe you're paying less for that movie ticket than you were just 9 weeks ago. And less than what you were 40 years ago! How do they make the math work. It would seem they're using matinee prices. Hmmm... Why would they shy away from telling us the "normal" admission price of a movie? And why was that not used in this breakdown instead? Oh year, that's right... because it's freakin' $10 to go to the movies nowadays! It's a rip-off in my opinion. And NATO is trying to fool us. I buy this "lower ticket prices than 40 years ago" less than I actually buy movie tickets. Maybe theaters should have control over admission prices? Get a Best Buy/Circuit City-style war going between them?
Stan Lee continues to keep busy with his comic/TV/movie development company called "Pow! Entertainment". In fact, he's got 3 new comic book super heroes set to premier in October. We've got the brief stories of each on the show. We know it's Stan Lee, but the general Who Asked You? consensus on these is, unfortunate. It's unfortunate that we just aren't feelin' these new characters. But if they do turn out to be cool, we'll gladly accept our mistake. Someone will have to tell us though, because none of us plan on reading these comics.
If you're a resident in Tennessee and will be heading to the polls soon to vote for your state's governor, you've got 5 to choose from. Actually, it's more like 4. One of them, Basil Marceaux dot com — not sure if he's legally changed his name to include the dot com, but that's how he introduces himself — clearly stands no chance what so ever. Still, he may not win over the voters, but his odd incoherent pitch on a local Nashville news station has won over YouTube. Basil has some interesting ideas for the Volunteer State. Not sure if he'll ever be able to put them into complete sentences if elected, but interesting ideas nonetheless. This is both funny and unfortunate.
Finally, if you're ever in Hakone, Japan and have a hankering for Ramen, be careful where you get it from. There's a spa there now offering a jacuzzi tub full of pork broth for you to simmer in. They even come by and dump in a batch of fake noodles. The health department won't let them use real Ramen. Visitors basically get to pretend their tiny people in a giant bowl of noodle soup.

If you're a resident in Tennessee and will be heading to the polls soon to vote for your state's governor, you've got 5 to choose from. Actually, it's more like 4. One of them, Basil Marceaux dot com — not sure if he's legally changed his name to include the dot com, but that's how he introduces himself — clearly stands no chance what so ever. Still, he may not win over the voters, but his odd incoherent pitch on a local Nashville news station has won over YouTube. Basil has some interesting ideas for the Volunteer State. Not sure if he'll ever be able to put them into complete sentences if elected, but interesting ideas nonetheless. This is both funny and unfortunate.
Finally, if you're ever in Hakone, Japan and have a hankering for Ramen, be careful where you get it from. There's a spa there now offering a jacuzzi tub full of pork broth for you to simmer in. They even come by and dump in a batch of fake noodles....]]>3601liveactionyogibear,melgibsonrant,movieticketprices,nato,powentertainmentyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-129-they-all-look-alikeNow onto something you can finger. Oh yeah... it's that alright! Call it the latest in geek chic. A computer mouse elegantly sculpted into the shape of a woman's genitalia. Complete with a perfectly positioned scroll wheel and a hidden 'spot' that rewards you by launching your favorite website or E-Mail when you press it. The mouse is a conceptual design right now. It doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere. But I'm sure so me company in the techno-porn industry will be happy to develop it into a real product. You can have a look at it for yourself below in the Show Links. I can't help but wonder, if this was for sale, how long it would be before some lonely guy surfing an adult webcam site late one night looked down at his "G Spot Mouse" and then tried to have sex with it. It would probably happen faster than the time it'd take him to get to the ER to have the stuck gadget removed.
Our big story of the show goes to a brother and sister in Alabama. The Dodson's were victimized by an attempted rapist who broke into the sister's bedroom and tried to assault her. When she screamed for help, her brother Antoine quickly raced to her aide. The perp got away, but when interviewed by the local news, Antoine Dodson sounded off about the event and has since become an Internet sensation for his comments. Some feel people like this shouldn't be put on the news. But isn't it worse to not let them have their say. Why should one victim get favored for a sound byte just because they're better spoken or dressed over the one who isn't? It was said that those like Antoine (i.e. those who have an Ebonics vernacular) reflect poorly on their community. Really? Seems to me like the guy that broke into their house and tried to rape an innocent young woman is the one doing that poor reflecting. In any case, the interview aired, people liked it and now Antoine is being heard by folks all over the world not just on the news, but on T-Shirts, ringtones and YouTube remixes. If only that rapist had a vagina-shaped mouse, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
If he did have that mouse, perhaps he'd be using it to acquire movies from the Bureau. We've got a list for you today of the current most downloaded movies from it. We'll run down the top-10 then quiz you with a "Chase's Challenge" on what flick is getting the most torrent attention. Tune in and play along... don't cheat and Google it before though!
Perhaps that rapist that broke into the Dodson household is working for the National Weather Service now. The robotic voice that interrupts the TV and radio warning us all of impending weather related doom is part of a brand new segment we're introducing today inspired by Mr. Joe Pesci. This bit is an invention of Dennis' and will pop up from time to time on the show. And we encourage your participation too. Listen to the show, find out what the segment is about and if one of these moments happens to you, E-MAIL US and we'll include it in the next edition!

At least this way you don't have to worry about any spoilers. While sort of quasi on the topic of Sylvester Stallone, we have news of his replacement in a reboot to one of his films as well.
And the story that involves the unmentioned Poll Question this week is that of George Lucas' decision NOT to include the original theatrical versions of the first Star Wars films on the Blu-ray box set that comes out next Fall. The fans have begged and pleaded to offer the originals in every incarnation that the "Special Editions" were in. But for whatever reasons known only to him, Lucas wants the classic versions to disappear. Not to mention, according to LucasFilm, they permanently altered the original negatives when they digitally mastered them for the "Special Editions." So there you go. Han will still step on Jabba's tail and Sabastian Shaw's ghostly presence in Jedi is still replaced with that Canadian kid that can't act worth a damn.
We go from a galaxy far far away to the lovely state of Vermont for a fun-filled round of "It's The Law". Vermont has some very strict margarine laws. As a dairy state, they take their milk products very seriously... they also require you to bathe at least once a week. And they don't allow you to strip down in public, only in private. There's more to this law you'll want to hear!
And speaking of 'private.' Facebook has released a new app that allows your friends to violate your privacy without your knowledge, while you're sitting next to them. It's called "Facebook Places" and anyone who uses the Foursquare app on their mobile phone will feel right at home with this one. Using GPS the program allows you to "check-in" at locations that you visit (i.e. the movies, a club or store). But Facebook's version allows a user to check their friends into those locations as well with a simple drag and drop. This could lead to awkward hilarity, especially if you told one friend you were staying in to fold laundry and then pop up a short time later on Facebook as being at your favorite bar with a few other friends. This would also work — in horrible ways — with stalkers, vengeful ex-lovers or co-workers/bosses you called in sick to that day.
The show winds down with a new burger joint that serves not-so-new burgers, a Swedish dude that may need to mortgage his home to pay a speeding ticket and a BBQ that can cook up to 7 whole lambs...

In fact, Dennis was paying the delivery guy moments after I remembered to start recording. Unprofessional? Maybe. Delicious pizza that fueled us for a good show? Absolutely! And what a mixed bag of awesome this episode is. We finally give you our brief thoughts on "The Expendables" as asked for by the before mentioned E-Mailer.
Nike is on the verge of bringing back the 80s by creating a shoe from the year 2015. Whaaaaaa? You just thought to yourself. Let me explain. Nike's Test Kitchen crew recently filed patent papers for shoes that look stunningly similar to the "Air Mag" auto-lacing shoes Marty McFly wore in the year 2015 on Back to the Future II. If you remember the scene, the shoes had a light up logo and a small button that when pressed sucked the laces down and conformed to you foot. The clip is below in the show links if you want to have a look. And take a look at the images of the patent papers too. As you'll see it appears Nike's real-life version of the sneaker may work the same way.
Meanwhile down unda, Paul Hogan of the Crocodile Dundee fame is being held in his native country until he pays all taxes due to the government there. Hogan lives here in the US, but had flown back to Australia to attend his mother's funeral. Not sure what or how it happened, but he was caught and told he couldn't leave until paying millions in back taxes. Good luck to him on that.
We also talk about whining on Facebook. I'm sure you all have a friend or 2 who does it on their wall and maybe even yours. Well imagine if the guy who came up with the damned wall was doing it... oh, actually, you don't. Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, is apparently moaning and groaning about the way he is portrayed in the new Facebook movie called "The Social Network." Should Mark suck it up if he wants to collect the big bucks? Are his gripes justified? We discuss this. And we'd like your opinion on the matter as well.
A new study has some shocking results when it comes to what ladies would give up in order to stay thin. Over half of them would do it too! Any ideas what they'd leave behind for a slimmer waist? I'll give you a clue, only a quarter of the men polled would do the same. Okay, that was pretty much a dead give away.
And while we're on the subject of staying thin, one way to do that might be to stay away from a few choice fast food options. We have a list of 10 of those items you should NOT order if you value good cardiovascular health. The number 1 thing on this list is a sandwich that Dennis eats regularly. We may have saved his life after he heard his caloric intake from this bad boy.
Because it's the end of the month, this show is an extended episode with music! Charlie and I met one of the bands we play on today while at the Classic Gaming Expo here in Las Vegas. They're called "Decendants of Erdrick" and they specialize in old-school video game music. We also play some tunes from our good pal Jinnai who DJs at anime conventions. Links to him and the Decendants are listed below if you want to check out more of their music.

As for this episode's content. Just before the recording started, I had read off some details about a new sandwich Denny's is offering up. As if Denny's food isn't bad enough for you, they go and stuff fried cheese inside of cheese on bread that you can dip in sauce with a side of fat french fries.

Craigslist has closed down the adult section of the site after pressure from various states and law enforcement. Some claim the classifieds website doesn't filter adds posted on it very well *cough* employment section. And that in the adult area there are postings promoting prostitution and other illegal sex activities. Perhaps shutting the section down was a little extreme. Maybe better monitoring was the solution. Forcing a company to shut down an open online community like this could be seen as a free speech violation.

We've got plenty more where that came from on today's show. And so does one of our longtime listeners who used to work on Anime Vegas. You won't want to miss it!
Do you collect movie and TV memorabilia? Do you have a shelf where you keep cool little props from some of your favorite flicks? If so, then we've got quite the story about one such collectable for you today. We've all seen brief glimpses of them — especially on Skinamax — those skin tone-colored modesty pouches actors wear to cover their twig and berries during nude scenes. One of the actors from the hit HBO series True Blood sold his on eBay to benefit charity. It sold for a pretty decent amount too... not Elvis snot wrag prices, but a pretty penny for a sweat-soaked crotch cover.
If you live in a cave without electricity, or on another planet, this may be news to you. Google has unveiled its new instant search technology. Basically, as soon as you start typing in the search box your results will appear and update in real-time with each new character you pound out on your keyboard. New innovation from Google? Halfhearted attempt to drive up their stock prices? Awesome new way to get porno suggestions you may not have seen if you just typed "tranny train" instead of "tranny train with midgets?" You decide. While on this subject we also add a new definition to the word "cobbing."
And as mentioned at the beginning of these shows notes, we didn't get through all of our Anime Vegas material, so we'll try and do so on this episode. It includes a few silly stories from Japan as well as a "Who Fact You?" containing Japanese, manga and anime fun facts. We figured we took the time to write it up, might as well use it. Nothing goes to waste here at Who Asked You? except for everyone's time... but that's all consensual.
Duke Nukem is making his valiant and long overdue return to the video game universe. The sequel to the ever-popular "Duke Nukem 3D" is finally going to wrap development and should be out next year. We'll 'blow you away' with our thoughts on this and another gaming related story. This one, not so much about a game as the console you play them on. Imagine a police officer being told by his wife he couldn't play his PS3 anymore. Being a trained policeman who passed psychological testing and deals with domestic violence crimes all the time, how do you think he would react? We'll tell you.

It includes a few silly stories from Japan as well as a "Who Fact You?" containing Japanese, manga and anime fun facts. We figured we took the time to write it up, might as well use it. Nothing goes to waste here at Who Asked You? except for everyone's time... but that's all consensual.
Duke Nukem is making his valiant and long overdue return to the video game universe. The sequel to the ever-popular "Duke Nukem 3D" is finally going to wrap development and should be out next year. We'll 'blow you away' with our thoughts on this and another gaming related story. This one, not so much about a game as the console you play them on. Imagine a police officer being told by his wife he couldn't play his PS3 anymore. Being a trained policeman who passed psychological testing and deals with domestic violence crimes all the time, how do you think he would react? We'll tell you.
Rippin' on incompetent convention staff, cock socks, cobbing, Duke Nukem, potentially racist soybeans... yep, this is adding up to a crazy-ass random show befitting Charlie's birthday. That's the way we like it.]]>5144auction,dukenukem,googleinstantsearch,modestypouch,truebloodyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-134-partly-cloudyBefore that, we go through listener E-Mails, the first of which introduces us to a strange phenomenon moving through the web called the "Pedobear." Apparently this cartoon image of a bear that originated on a Japanese art forum has quickly become synonymous with pedophilia. We don't know how this happened. All we can say is it started back in 2004 and has been growing at a steady rate. The most recent notable appearance of the naughty bear was at this year's Comic-Con where a man was kicked out for wearing the bear costume and handing out candy to children. People who recognized it complained and the San Diego police promptly removed him. We give you our take on this odd Internet meme.
Another story we bring you this week is a TV series James Cameron is working on based on his 1994 movie, "True Lies." The show is apparently nearing completion and will be shown to various networks in the near future. This is Cameron's second venture into the TV series world. He once had a show on Fox called "Dark Angle" that starred Jessica Alba. No word on who will star in the True Lies series, but can you imagine if Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis were to do it? It would be the most watched show on television... and our Arnold Button would have thousands of Arnoldisms!
The new CBS show, "$#*! My Dad Says" premiered this past week. Aside from giving DVRs trouble with finding a show whose title begins with a dollar sign, the PTC is back at it again. This time they're going after local advertisers of the show. If these people would put as much time into V-Chipping their TVs and parenting their children as they do bitching about network decency we'd all be a lot happier and less annoyed. PTC... get the fuck outta here!
And speaking of which, we've got another edition of that Joe Pesci-inspired segment. This time the "get the fuck outta here" was mumbled under my breath after seeing a commercial for Vivitar's latest technological achievement. First of all, does anyone really buy Vivitar electronics? One thing is for sure, most tech savvy folks who live in the 21st century won't be buying this one. Tune in to find out what it is!
This extended month-ender show comes to a close with another round of "Who Fact You?" followed by breaking news involving... Elmo? Lets just say the mean streets of Sesame have conditioned our fury friend for fighting. And he seems to attract women in skimpy clothing... Elmo's a pimp!]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/975888/who-asked-you-partly-cloudy/Mon, 20 Sep 2010 22:00:00 +0000Chasecom MediaWe often have 2 types of guests in our studio's peanut gallery.

That's why we've come up with a solution. Hogan should throw a benefit concert to raise the money to pay his tax debt. Tune in to hear some of the names he should call it.
Aside from getting updated on that story, we also have an update to one we told you about back in May. You may remember that Archie comics planned to introduce a gay character to the town of Riverdale. Well, that issue went on sell recently and sold out completely! The publishers of Archie say that's the first time they've ever sold out of an issue in the comic book's history! Mike thinks Kevin will eventually go the route of Poochie on the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons. Do you agree? Send us an E-Mail and let us know.
Has reality TV crossed the line? The cable network, TLC has a new reality series based on a man who is committing bigamy. He and his 4 wives star in the program, which has sparked a police investigation in their home state of.... yep, Utah. Bigamy, just like Polygamy, is illegal in all 50 states. Is it appropriate to glamorize or promote such illegal behavior for commercial profit? Send us an E-Mail and let us know.
And while we're on the subject of reality TV crossing the line... The Hard Rock brand thinks one of their hotels has done just that. The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is being sued by the parent company to be de-affiliated with the brand name. Why? Because of a mindless bullshit reality show of course. The TruTV show "Rehab" seems to be, according to the lawsuit, associating the Hard Rock brand with sexual exploitation and obnoxious behavior. The owners of Hard Rock want the name removed from the property and no longer want to be involved with it.
But an even better story than that is also beaming from sin city. The new mega-resort, City Center is apparently cooking their pool guests with an unintentional death ray.

One in particular brings up the story from last week involving the artwork in Colorado that had residents there upset because it showed Jesus engaged in a sex act. Turns out a Montana woman took matters into her own hands and created some really sloppy Origami out of the lithography.
And now for something that reeks. Warner Brothers has announced they're making a live-action film based on the smelliest of Looney Toons, Pepe Le Pew. Of course, you can expect Pepe and his female feline love interest to be computer generated. That's a contractual obligation in all films now, even romantic comedies... something has to be CG. And you can expect his voice to sound very much like a certain horny British spy. Yeah baby! You read right.
Disappointing news for Harry Potter fans this week as Warner Brothers also announced that seeing the boy wizard for the 7th time won't cause you to go blind. The production company won't be able to finish the 3D conversion and meet the deadline for the film's release. So part 1, just 2D and part 2, all 3D. Both will still go out in IMAX, so they'll rip you off even without the extra dimension.
The Parents Television Council is in the news once more. It's becoming so regular we may have to give them their own segment. They're taking a short breather from trying to get Seth MacFarlane tarred and feathered and turning their attention to a Britney Spears-themed episode of another Fox show.
It's a pleasure to have a PTC story on an episode titled after something they would most certainly not approve of talking about on-air. During a quick round of "Best Worst Most Least" the topic of masturbation rises... pun intended. As you longtime listeners can probably imagine, Jabari takes the reins on this one as was common when he was part of the show and one of his rather unusual techniques blindsides us and we're compelled to name it.
Before that though we have "Breaking News" of another dick related story. A certain dick TV anchor in New Zealand goes off on a laughing fit over the name of a government official in India. That name, Dikshit. Now yes... we can see how it's spelled too. It's funny. But it's also not pronounced quite the way it's spelled. What makes the clip — which you can hear on the show and in the Show Links — so obnoxious is that he's corrected by his co-hosts, but continues to call her "Dick Shit" anyway. He also makes a rather tasteless joke about her name and how it, in his mind anyway, makes perfect sense because she's Indian.
We've already talked about Jesus getting oral sex, the PTC, Britney Spears, masturbation and dick shit... we might as well mention NAMBLA.

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. 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 link to see it is in the Show Links. It looks stupid. But sadly, it is not a trick. The other E-Mail is a real treat, I have it on good authority that it's author was inebriated when he wrote it. Spelling errors aside, he poses some good Halloween questions to us including what costumes we came dressed in for the show.
And on that costume note, we've got some dress up-suggestions and advice for you! Continuing to cash in on his instant fame, Antoine Dodson, the flamboyant sound byte-giver on rapists breaking into apartments, now has his own Halloween costume. It's called the "Bed Intruder Costume" and you can pick it up for around $25.
That would be an awesome costume to wear to a party, or dress your kid up in. But there are some disguises that are just plain wrong. Even for small children too young to know they're being humiliated by the folks. The list-masters over at TopTenz.net came up with the top-10 most embarrassing costumes for kids. We rundown 5 of them as a caution to all you parents out there. Have some respect for your kids. The entire list is in the Show Links.
We also attempt to gross you out by telling you about a dude who sticks a needle in his eye. A guy named Matt Gone could be the most tattooed person on Earth. And just when we think he's run out of space, he proves us wrong by inking his eyeballs, himself! Using a pretty gnarly needle Gone has injected blue colored ink into the white areas of his eyes. Again... he did this himself, looking into a mirror. Apparently the ink is moving around in the eye and could turn the who thing blue! He's got pictures of all of his tattoos... from head to toe, including the latest ones he's been 'eyeing' on his website.
And since "Boo Fact You?" went away with "Boo Asked You?" our round of 10 terrifying factoids had to be mediocrely renamed to "Who Spooked You?". And this year it's not just facts about the Halloween holiday, it's eerie, creepy, strange and gross facts that should have you more uncomfortable than the Pedobear episode.
This show seems to be full of lists. We've also got 5 of the most obscure phobias out there. They include a fear of string and specific relatives. In the Show Links we have a site that contains an enormous list of just about every phobia out there. If you decide to read any of it and come across one even more strange than these, by all means, E-Mail it to us with your thoughts on it.
Finally the last half-hour of the show is a stretch. Literally... we're once again stretching just like at the start. This time though, it's because we run out of planned material. It happens. Sometimes we make it all the way through the show's rundown. And in cases like this, it's not nearly as satisfying as you'd think. At least, not when you still have 30 minutes to fill! But, if there is one thing we have proven time and time again on this program, it's that we can talk uninterrupted about nonsense and still make it entertaining. It's the backbone of our show for Christ sake! We better be good at it. The filler is filled with talk of the now defunct relationship between Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

First and foremost, Charlie Sheen has expensive taste in watches and not just pay-to-play women. According to reports that little tantrum he threw at that fancy New York hotel was because he thought his whore had stolen his crazy-valuable time piece. That's why she locked herself in the bathroom. His attempt to play frisbee with hotel furniture scared her and she didn't want to get a chair across the back world wrestling style.
And if you're one of only 16 people still using MySpace you may have noticed it looks a little different. That's because the News Corp-owned social website has launched their new redesign in hopes of bringing in at least some of the crowd they lost to Facebook the last couple of years. Sadly, MySpace's interface continues to be cluttered, confusing and buggy. We'll admit, it is in "beta". But the site was terribly bug-ridden before on the old design too. And we know, Facebook is flakey too. But at least you can navigate Facebook without bleeding from your ears.
We also talk about Superman's hip new emo-appearance. He's getting the Twilight refresh for a new origins graphic novel retelling the story of his, uhhh... origins. Some say he's full on hipster. Others think he looks too douchey. This seems to be the demand though in this day and age. The brightly colored tights of super heroes past are getting traded in for skinny jeans and hoodies. We'll just have to get used to that.
We may also have to get used to playing video games with our bodies! Unless you're black. Then the thing doesn't work and you can't play at all. I'm talking about the newly released MICROSOFT KINECT. The device that hooks up to your XBox360 allows you, using motion capture, to play a select group of games using bodily movements to control the guy on the screen. It's the next step in kinetic game play from what the Wii started. Unfortunately the technology is a little racist some say. Due to contrast issues, which is what facial recognition software runs off of, it's being reported that the device has trouble working with people who have dark skin tones. One test lab says it's true, the other says they can't duplicate the problem. Still, you can't ignore the fact that there could be a flaw with the software's processing. A new webcam technology on the latest HP computers released a few months back seem to suffer from a very similar issue. Look below in the Show Links for a YouTube video demonstrating that phenomenon.
Also on the rundown is another phenomenon of sorts. This one being stupidity amongst our college-aged kids and energy drink manufacturers. Somewhere along the line these drink concocters thought it'd be a good idea to mix tons of caffeine with tons of alcohol and sell it. And somewhere along that same wobbly line, college kids didn't see any harm in downing them like a Mountain Dew or mixing them with even more alcohol and/or drugs. Clearly you can see the problem here right? The beverage makers don't seem to. Perhaps it all comes down to moderation. Energy drinks are gross anyway. You should moderately drink them. And given they're full of caffeine, and now alcohol, it's best for your safety and health.

Someone else might have already tried this before us. If not, we're proud to say that we try to get everyone who listens to this show high. We're always promoting the...Before that though we feel it necessary to bring you up to speed on some events that occurred over the Halloween break. First and foremost, Charlie Sheen has expensive taste in watches and not just pay-to-play women. According to reports that little tantrum he threw at that fancy New York hotel was because he thought his whore had stolen his crazy-valuable time piece. That's why she locked herself in the bathroom. His attempt to play frisbee with hotel furniture scared her and she didn't want to get a chair across the back world wrestling style.
And if you're one of only 16 people still using MySpace you may have noticed it looks a little different. That's because the News Corp-owned social website has launched their new redesign in hopes of bringing in at least some of the crowd they lost to Facebook the last couple of years. Sadly, MySpace's interface continues to be cluttered, confusing and buggy. We'll admit, it is in "beta". But the site was terribly bug-ridden before on the old design too. And we know, Facebook is flakey too. But at least you can navigate Facebook without bleeding from your ears.
We also talk about Superman's hip new emo-appearance. He's getting the Twilight refresh for a new origins graphic novel retelling the story of his, uhhh... origins. Some say he's full on hipster. Others think he looks too douchey. This seems to be the demand though in this day and age. The brightly colored tights of super heroes past are getting traded in for skinny jeans and hoodies. We'll just have to get used to that.

It kind of felt like a movie premier in a way. There were tons of trailers, tons of Internet discussions and postings, followed by more trailers and commercials, then some skit/commercials until finally the big debut. And what a debut it was. Conan had a very strong opening week beating out Leno, Letterman, Kimmel and Stewart. Those numbers won't last, but hopefully our favorite bearded Twitter-army commander will hold his own against these network drones.
It's then onto the movie news of the week which includes aliens and zombies! I mean, come on! It's not a movie without an alien or zombie.... or both right? Rolland Emmerich decided to take a break from his cookie cutter natural disaster flicks and get back to alien invasions instead with his latest project, THE ZONE. Hey, as long as he stays away from a certain giant lizard I think we'll be okay. This may all be a mute point though given what was supposed to be a micro-budget found-footage film has been unexplainably canceled. No word from Rolland's camp on why he pulled out of the project and his crew is dumbfounded.
Perhaps Rolland Emmerich couldn't get THE ZONE copyrighted. That didn't stop George A. Romero though with his NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD movie. Did you know that a clerical goof put the film in the public domain since its release? The Internet has opened the doors to freely distributing the black and white zombie classic, but YouTube has taken it a stumbled-step further. The 60s zombies are now fumbling their way through a "choose-your-own-adventure" movie created out of clips from Romero's film. You can try it out for yourself in the Show Links.
And the bulk of our show is taken up by one of those occasional in-depth debates between either Charlie and Dennis, Charlie and Mike or Dennis and Mike. This time around it's Charlie and Dennis. After comments Dennis made on a previous show about people blowing box office totals out of proportion these days and not taking inflation into account, we received an E-Mail from our Arnold-Button maker and show fan, Jason. He included a link to a site where you can examine the top-20 grossing films from the last 3 decades as well as other ticket sales numbers. The page calculated the box office revenues of many big films and tweaked those numbers for inflation. It's quite fascinating to see how the list changes when you make those adjustments.

We can all see the resemblance. Can you? What's more, the look-alike, whose name is Mauricio is also one of our Facebook Fans! How awesome is that? A big thanks to Mauricio for hitting that Like button and for looking like Dennis.
Our Poll this week poses the question to you, what's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? That same question then goes to our panel and I'm sorry I asked it. A half-show argument erupts after Dennis brings up 'gravy'. For him, gravy is nature's food moisturizer. It apparently belongs drizzled over everything on your Thanksgiving plate. But there's some differing of opinion on this. So much so that Russ, a friend who occasionally sits in on the show had to join in the conversation. He couldn't sit quietly in the peanut gallery and let Dennis run amuck on his gravy gallivant. The spirited chat drifts from whose mom has the best recipe to what dishes you should cover in gravy. Some feel only the turkey gets the brown bath. Others *cough* Dennis, think everything should be painted in the stuff, even your dressing, err... stuffing... whatever. Eventually everyone kind of agrees to disagree and "it's all gravy".
What's not all gravy is Tony Scott's upcoming sequel to TOP GUN. It may not seem like this story will ever get told on the show. I skipped it last week by accident and this week we don't even get to the New Releases until 30 minutes in, but I promise, I read it this time. Will Tom Cruise reprise his role? Tune in and find out.
And the gravy is tainted over at Warner Bros. as someone — most likely an employee — leaked the first 36 minutes of the latest Harry Potter movie online. The company has launched an investigation. And there were concerns it might hurt the film's opening weekend. Really? Who was worried about that? It's Harry Potter for Christ's sake. It could be 30 minutes of Daniel Radcliffe with explosive diarrhea and people would pay to see it. As you'll hear on the show, the box office suffered no ill effects from the roughly 1/5 of the film finding its way to the web.
Quiter Palin, err, I mean Sarah Palin and her family continue to show up in the news. Whether it's Sarah herself blowing useless verbage out of her pie hole on Fox News and her new reality show on TLC, her daughter Bristol 'mysteriously' making it to the finals of ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS or her other daughter Willow doing a little gay bashing on Facebook... there's something for everyone to point and laugh at in the Palin clan. I wonder if Quiter, I mean, Sarah makes good gravy for Thanksgiving?
A little boy at a Tennessee restaurant probably wishes he'd ordered something with gravy on it instead of the chili. After his meal arrived the server told the boy to try some rather exclusive hot sauce on it. Unfortunately that sauce was so hot the kid had to be taken to the ER.
If that family had been in Arizona, they could've gone to the HEART ATTACK GRILL and medical attention in sexy little nurse outfits would've been right there on-hand. The world-famous hospital-themed burger joint has always caught flack for its high-calorie concoctions and now it's worse than ever with a new promotion they're 'heavily' advertising. We'll tell you all about it.

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.

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.

Christopher Nolan is considering using footage of Heath Ledger that didn't make the final cut of THE DARK KNIGHT in his next film, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. The idea would be to use unseen footage of Ledger and possibly digital compositing to place him in a scene for continuity from the last film. Those close to the film say Nolan would only do it if it's cool with Ledger's family. And we're wondering what you think about it? It's the question in this week's "We Ask You Online Poll". That's not the only revelation coming from the Nolan camp regarding his 3rd Bat-flick. We've got them all today!
But there's even more DC news coming at ya! Since SMALLVILLE is in its final season — thank god — the CW is looking for its pretty little Abercrombie replacement. And they may have already found it in a somewhat obscure heroine. The DC character, Raven is being looked at closely for a TV treatment on the worst broadcast network. It's still very early so there are no casting rumors. But we posed the question to the ErrorFM chat room and they came up with Thora Birch. What do you think? Feel free to send us your casting suggestions or thoughts on a "Raven" show in general and we'll read 'em next week.
From DC's mission to annihilate their stories' and characters' integrity to Marvel's we go. Either Sony is paying Marvel horrendously enormous amounts of money, or Marvel just doesn't give a fuck. Because the new Spider-Man reboot is looking more and more awful all the time. With each new casting announcement to tiny little plot elements that are a given when taking into account the characters that will appear in the film, it's shaping up to be a steaming corn-peppered pile of Spidey-poo all the time. Sony should have a couple of marketing people sit online for an entire day and just read the comments posted on movie news sites and forums. They aren't good Marvel and Sony. People are NOT looking forward to this terrible re-imagining.
Barbie has done it all... she's been a flight attendant, a teacher, a veterinarian, driver of cute pink cars with flower decals, receiver of Ken's shiny plastic tool... now she's been turned into a cybernetic organism.

First up are those E-Mails. We learn of an alternative to the anal sex act called the "Donkey Punch". Followed by a question regarding a story from the show titled "Malfunctioning Bladder Sphincter". Just with these 2 items I'm sure Justin was already wondering what he'd gotten himself into. And this was only 5 minutes in!
Things returned to fairly G-Rated though as we got into news of ABC's new comedy coming early next year featuring an old "friend". Followed by word that Liam Neeson will reprise his role as Zeus in a CLASH OF THE TITANS sequel. And also, Neill Blomkamp, the DISTRICT 9 director, is hard at work on his next motion picture. And no, it's not a sequel to our little cat food-eating aliens. It does take place on another planet though, so it must involve aliens.
And then it was onto lots-o-comic news. With the recent onslaught of casting announcements for Spider-Crap, the next Batman and CW's replacement for SMALLVILLE, we've been flying around the topic forever it seems. Perhaps if the news was good, it wouldn't seem so eternal. It's not much better today either. There's another addition to Emo-Spider's cast and some odds-and-ends announcements from the Marvel Studios President. There are lots more characters with projects being developed. Is one of them your favorite? Tune in to see.
Are you living in one of the most obscene cities in the USA? We break down the top-10 cities in a study, compiled rather unscientifically, by the guys at BUSINESSINSIDER.COM. Their method of determining these places was to input some choice words into Google from the late, great George Carlin.

We had just finished recording an interview with Justin and it was already time to do the show. And probably like most folks who listen to the show,...Mr. Flom was treated to a whole host of Who Asked You? classics like E-Mails from our quirky listeners, new movie releases, the "According To A New Study" segment, "It's The Law" and more!
First up are those E-Mails. We learn of an alternative to the anal sex act called the "Donkey Punch". Followed by a question regarding a story from the show titled "Malfunctioning Bladder Sphincter". Just with these 2 items I'm sure Justin was already wondering what he'd gotten himself into. And this was only 5 minutes in!
Things returned to fairly G-Rated though as we got into news of ABC's new comedy coming early next year featuring an old "friend". Followed by word that Liam Neeson will reprise his role as Zeus in a CLASH OF THE TITANS sequel. And also, Neill Blomkamp, the DISTRICT 9 director, is hard at work on his next motion picture. And no, it's not a sequel to our little cat food-eating aliens. It does take place on another planet though, so it must involve aliens.
And then it was onto lots-o-comic news. With the recent onslaught of casting announcements for Spider-Crap, the next Batman and CW's replacement for SMALLVILLE, we've been flying around the topic forever it seems. Perhaps if the news was good, it wouldn't seem so eternal. It's not much better today either. There's another addition to Emo-Spider's cast and some odds-and-ends announcements from the Marvel Studios President. There are lots more characters with projects being developed. Is one of them your favorite? Tune in to see.
Are you living in one of the most obscene cities in the USA? We break down the top-10 cities in a study, compiled rather unscientifically, by the guys at BUSINESSINSIDER.COM. Their method of determining these places was to input some choice words into Google from the late, great George Carlin.

His name is Kevin LePine and he's a hypnotist and comedian here in Las Vegas, Nevada. Earlier in the day we recorded an interview with Kevin and realized he's as big of a dork as we are and was on the same level as us when it came to movies, TV shows, comics, music and what not, so he stuck around for the Who Asked You? show and helped spread the holiday cheer.
On this program we'll take a look at the best and worst 2010 chucked at us in motion pictures, televised programming, musical arrangements, paper based fantasy periodicals and more!
It was a hell of a year. The bad outweighed the good by about 3-to-1. So bad in fact, most of the pop culture crap deserved a nice switch across the ass from Père Fouettard himself. Look him up... he's an evil Santa in France. We're taking next week off to sip the hot cocoa, fill up on pie and open presents. As I said, this entry is lacking in the effort department. The only Show Link you'll find is one where you can share your best/worst picks for this 10th year of the 21st century. Send them to us and we'll read 'em on the next show. Have a safe holiday and New Year folks... get black out drunk of course, but don't drive. We need you back here, alive, January 2nd for brand new shows in a brand new year.

He got the ultimate Who Asked-experience, which is being overwhelmed with 4 obnoxious guys. And in Funk's case, surrounded too. We should really rethink seating arrangements in our studio so guests aren't so intimidated. The Ikea couch offers little comfort with us around.
Mr. Funkhouser, a radio professional, picked the perfect show to guest host on too. Our first story of the day involves a radio personality complaining about how a new deal with Sirius Satellite Radio would have him taking a "Sirius" pay cut. The proposal dropped his pay from $1-million to just $200,000. Yep, you read that correctly. This fairly well-known talent named Bubba The Love Sponge is bitching because he'd ONLY be making $200-grand a year? To make jokes into a microphone all day? Really? Why don't you come on over to the podcasting world pal where 6-months of Google ads will reign in a staggering $3.11! Then you'll be aloud to complain. His point about having to take a pay cut while others — primarily Hollywood celebrities — are getting multi-million dollar deals with the satellite radio service is well taken. But the Love Sponge seems to be forgetting the nature of the very business he works in. The bigger the audience, the more you can demand and the more you make. Bottom line... you're getting paid a really nice salary to do what you love. Be thankful.
From $200,000 a year paychecks, to a $200-million blockbuster we go as Rolland Emmerich's disaster "disaster," 2012 gets voted the most inaccurate sci-fi film ever, by a panel of really smart scientists. NASA says the movie misinterpreters the Mayan calendar and is riddled with factual inaccuracies that have caused quite a panic amongst those who have seen it. So much so there's an entire website, in our Show Links by the way, put up by the space agency that tries to set the record straight.
A record not getting set straight, but rather trampled on and changed is that of Mark Twain's literary classic, THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN. By now you've probably heard that the N-word, used over 200 times in the book, is being systematically removed and replaced with "slave". Worst of all, it's a Twain scholar who is doing it! You'd think this guy and the publishers of the book would respect Mr. Clemen's work. But soccer mom school boards win out on this one and a story taking an honest, blunt look at 19th-century racism will be dulled down to a G-Rated, censored travesty to shield our kids from a truth they DESERVE to read and learn about for themselves and who, in most cases I think, are mature enough to handle it. As you can imagine this is a biggy on today's program.
As we leave 2010 behind, and apparently every written instance of the N-word, we can look back at some of that year's various records and top events. One of which is the 10 most downloaded TV shows via BitTorrent. Shows like FAMILY GUY, GLEE and HEROES make the list. But interestingly enough there are a few programs from premium movie channels that reaffirm the cold hard fact to the industry that people don't want to pay for an entire channel just to watch one show, so they'll just get it from the web. In fact, 2 of the shows on this list had more downloads than TV viewers!
And lastly, we'll look at the "words of the year" for 2010 according to the American Dialect Society. Who would know better than them right? From verbage made up by Sarah Palin, to phrases made up by our government in an attempt to fix what's left of our economy or that oil spewing atrocity in the Gulf of Mexico, the list covers several words made popular by people, places and events in '10. If this list had been compiled just a few weeks later, one of those words might have started with a 'N'.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/975947/episode-147-chases-folly/Mon, 10 Jan 2011 03:24:32 +0000Chasecom MediaIt's long overdue... but finally happens on this week's show.

And god knows after Rolland Emmerich got ahold of him, he desperately needs it. Or does he? The Japanese rights holders, the Toho Company, seem to be farming out the copyrights to us USA-folk. You'd think after what Rolly did to him in '98 they wouldn't let us anywhere near their most treasured franchise. Yet, here we are. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are gearing up for a re-imagining with a virtually unknown actor. The guy they chose has done a monster movie already. And he did it pretty much by himself. So maybe there's hope for this model-masher after all.
And then we go from a radioactive reptile to a guy named Reuben... Paul Reuben, you remember him don't you? He's best known as Pee-Wee Herman. The goofy, pasty skinned, man child in the red bow tie. The lights in his playhouse have been off for many-a-year, but the lights on his broadway stage haven't. You read that right, Pee-Wee has been playing on Broadway! And his show wrapped up with a taping that will air on HBO later this year.
Then it's onto a disappearing act even Jambi the Genie wouldn't want to wish for as we introduce to the revolutionary product known as "The Cuchini". Without cheating by looking in the Show Links, try to visualize what this product might be using the clue I just gave you and perhaps a breakdown of its name.

Absolute panic has gripped the countryside as the Earth has wobbled and the skies have changed! That was the gist of a nonchalant comment made by an astronomer in a local newspaper while talking about Zodiac signs. Because the Earth's equinox and poles have shifted, so to have the astrological dates associated with your "sign"... that is, if you go by the Sidereal Zodiac, which also includes a 13th sign around December. Most western cultures use the tropical version that never changes. And this is all a mute argument anyhow, because the constellation overhead at the time of your birth dictates your sign. And you don't need an expert in this biz to tell you that you are who you are. Just because the Earth has shifted on its axis doesn't mean your personality has too.
And finally some Toledo residents and school district staff wish they could send a certain radio host to the stars after he made a few remarks that could be construed as racist. Fresh off our lengthy discussion of removing the N-word from HUCKLEBERRY FINN, we're onto what you might call, the M-word. Conservative radio host, Brian Wilson used the term 'monkeys' in a comment he was making about poor education in Ohio. The quote was originally taken out of context and was interoperated as derogatory by some. He later posted a transcript of his entire comment on his website and it, in our opinions, with the exception of Mike, was determined not to be racist.

With that said, here's the gist of this week's program. We fumble our way into it with news from Levar Burton that he may be trying to launch a new version of READING RAINBOW on his own that would be publicly funded. He made the quasi-announcement via his Twitter feed last week. This shows the beauty and power of the Interwebs. You can personally tell all your fans what you're working on and use websites like Kickstarter.com to solicit donations to make it happen!
Meanwhile over at the FCC and DOJ, they've approved the merger of media giants NBC Universal and Comcast. What a prosperous company this will be... the least liked network teaming with the most hated cable operator... how could this NOT work?!? The government assures us rules are in place to keep the 2 companies from literally taking over all that is media and broadband. But come on? Comcast has already been in trouble for throttling its broadband customers without their knowledge. I'm sure they're cooking up skeems to screw us all already. Thank goodness that here in Las Vegas we have Cocks Communications.
Is it child pornography for a TV series to show a 17 year-old's ass? How young is too young to show simulated sex or masturbation on cable TV? These are questions MTV is grappling with over their new BBC copycat, SKINS. The show, aimed at MTV's standard issue tween demo seems to be a bit too racy for the tastes of the networks brass. They've ordered the producers to "tone it down a bit." Or in other words, make it less interesting than it already is. Lets face it, MTV hasn't had an interesting TV show since Beavis and Butthead. And this one is no exception. The main character is a cookie cutter smart-ass teenager whose always got something witty to say. His parents are clueless as to his activities outside the house etc. etc. Do what you think is best MTV, nobody is watching anyway.
We also talk about the big news of this past week, which was the announcement of the next villain(s) to grace Gotham. Chris Nolan says THE DARK KNIGHT RISES will feature Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Tom Hardy as... Bane??? This one sparks a debate between Jabari and Dennis, which actually started earlier in the day at the bar. But they still had some left for the show.
And last but not least, with the absence of Four Loko in stores, binge-drinking college kids and lonely, depressed 40-somethings are in need of a replacement beverage to get that hot chick drunk enough to blow them in the bathroom and to fry their organs respectively.

Mike and Dennis arrive just in time for our first story of the program. A, shall we say, highly highly highly anticipated video game has finally gotten a release date. Mr. Nukem of DUKE NUKEM FOREVER is finally going to be back in action vaporizing aliens, punching aliens, running over aliens, oh yeah... and hanging out at the strip club. After years of various delays and complications the game is done and ready for store shelves to the delight of gamers the world over.
And if it's not a video game resurrecting those feelings of nostalgia, it's Warner Brothers and Studio4°C drumming them up with a reboot to a classic cartoon. They're feelin' frisky with our old feline friends of the planet Thundera. The 2 companies are hard at work on a new, what they call, "anime" style series featuring Lion-O and his pals. They're telling everyone it'll appeal to both new and old fans, but the official artwork they've released just isn't working for us. The characters definitely do have that "anime" look to them. At first glance, their look screams FOX BOX or WB KIDS to me. You know, all that shitty American wannabe anime? The picture is in the Show Links below. Have a look and judge for yourself. And if you want to chime in on it, or anything, shoot us a message.
Also on the show, news that Morgan Freeman is being replaced in an upcoming film by... Tyler Perry?!?!? Freeman has portrayed this character in 2 previous films. Do you think you know which role we're talking about? Are you getting worried it's a certain super hero flick with a third installment on the way? It may or may not be... tune in to find out.
Forbes seems to think it has the power to predict which major corporations could go out of business each year. So far that power has proved to be less than spot on. Case in point, last year they predicted Blockbuster Video would be "rolling credits" as it's subscriber-base has been largely decimated by companies like Netflix and Redbox. Yet, it's still here. Even after a bankruptcy and mass closing of hundreds of stores... it's still here. There's another retailer we "judge by it's cover" that made Forbes' list last year too. And it's still around as well. See what we mean? Forbes announcing possible impending doom for a company could actually send it into such chaos where it otherwise might not end up. There are several others on this bucket list you'll wanna hear about.
Meanwhile TACO BELL is fighting criticisms that its ground beef isn't all that "beefy". Really? Folks are just now starting to question "where's the beef?" Ironically it was a commercial for WENDY'S back in 1984 when actress Clara Peller first uttered the inquiry. Now it's being posed to TACO BELL... I smell a clever ad campaign TACO BELL P.R. Department! This launches us into a total break down of beef and ingredients across many other fast food favorites. Yeah, it was only a few months ago we talked about the non-decomposing burger and fries from the golden arches... now it's the not so bovine beef in the purple bell. The CEO of TACO BELL claims their "taco filling" as they call it, and as Mike, a former employee of the company has pointed out many times, is 88% USDA inspected beef. And that the rest of the ingredients are oats and seasonings to enhance the flavor. Still, some aren't convinced. Listen in to find out the surprising results one apparent lab test found. Experts say will be a tough sell to courts, because many don't seem to mind the faux-filling, but it'll certainly have one little old lady from 1984 asking, "where's the beef?"]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/975951/episode-150-wheres-the-beef/Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:22:57 +0000Chasecom MediaIt's an offbeat episode of the Who Asking Of today.

First, just for the ladies. Hunky Hunkerson, James Franco is being eyed not just in Google image searches by lonely ladies late at night, but also by Sam Raimi to play the part of the wizard in his upcoming WIZARD OF OZ prequel. Nothing is official yet, but there's a good chance Franco may be strolling down the Yellow Brick Road.
And for the guys in our fan base, RED SONJA is getting a reboot treatment directly following the CONAN one. If you're unfamiliar with Ms. Sonja, she's a Marvel character that often appeared in the CONAN THE BARBARIAN comics. She also got a movie treatment in 1985 following Arnold's CONAN. And he also played in her film too! Sonja is best known probably for her fiery-red hair and chain mail bikini. Not to mention her skills with a sword. Insert penis joke here.
Next, you could be living in one of America's most romantic cities and not even know it! But that's cool... because Amazon looked at towns that order a lot of romance books and movies as well as Barry White albums and was able to determine which communities foster the most passion. Is your hometown on the list? You'll find out on this episode.
And since we're all about 'love' this Valentine's Day, we might as well bring up one of the world's most iconic couples, Barbie and Ken. It seems back in 2004 — I missed the memo, did you? — Barbie and her boy-toy went splitsville. It was a marketing ploy by Barbie's maker, Mattel in an attempt to drum up sagging sales for the blonde gal. It worked. And now, nearly 7 years later, Ken wants his arm candy back. He's taken out billboards in LA and NY proclaiming his love. Apparently Barbie will give him her answer today!
And you'll "love" this company's justification for making a video game about illegal immigration. Boston game developer, OWLCHEMY is working on an iPhone and iPad app called, SMUGGLE TRUCK. It's a simple little game where you try and smuggle a truck load of immigrants across the border without spilling them from the bed of your truck. The company says they're rational for making the game is to create a dialogue about the absurd immigration policies of the US. Critics think it's just racist and makes fun of a difficult and often deadly situation on our borders. The game will probably create more backlash when it's released next month.

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.

Seemed fitting perhaps. After all, SKINS showed some kids butt and the returning show has 'butt' in the title. Yep, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD are coming back. And yes, Mike Judge is involved. And yes, it will be animated. And yes, they will still make fun of music videos among other things. Other things you ask? Tune in to find out what clips will join the comical commentary of the couple from their couch.
You've most likely heard by now that Charlie Sheen has been drinking and perhaps doing drugs. You may have heard on the radio his approval of doing cocaine if you can manage it socially. And you may have heard his boss-bashing of TWO AND A HALF MEN co-creator Chuck Lorre. Due to all of the above, Sheen, his co-stars and about 200 production staff are now out of work. CBS pulled the plug on the remainder of this season. And in a late-breaking development today, Sheen says he wants $3-million per episode to return next year. That's about double his current salary.
We take a break from the Hollywood drama to play a quick round of "Best Worst Most Least." We haven't done one of these in awhile, it seemed like a good time. Sort of playing off the Charlie Sheen thing, one of the questions ponders the most money each of us has ever held in our hand. We're talkin' cold hard cash here... not checks or money orders. Charlie has us beat due to a previous managerial position he held. But outside of the workplace, Dennis wins. But by how much? You'll have to listen to find out.
We head back to Hollywood in a lightning round of movie news. Find out what the TWILIGHT writer may be working on next. Here's a hint, she's moving from vampires that live forever, to some other people that do too. A remake of a 70s movie based on a novel may have you on the 'run.' Also, it's not really news if you pretty much knew it was going to happen. Casting choices for Tim Burton's take on DARK SHADOWS is what we're talking about here. Give you hint on this one too, she's bangin' him. And Julia Roberts is evil... oh yeah, she's also playing an evil queen in a live-action take on an old story involving a woman and her 7 vertically challenged friends.
As always, we end with some "Breaking News." This time we're headed to Indiana where an obscure reference on a billboard of an event in the 70s has us wondering how soon is too soon?

It seems another one of those "censored" DVD companies has been cutting up blockbuster films, burning them to DVDs and reselling them to parents who are incompetent and lazy. Copyright violation and piracy? Ummm... shit YEAH! You can't take someone else's work, manipulate it and then resell it for your own financial gain without telling them. There have been several of these companies over the years that have all met their demise. The latest one, FAMILY EDITED DVDs, is no different. So the studios went after the moron who runs it and shut him down. He also has to pay a fat chunk of green too.
And speaking of stealing from people and large sums of money. Michael Bay explodes onto our show again in our segment devoted just to him. This time the almighty director's offices are the scene of a real life crime. Bay has stated many-a-time that he has friends in "high places" and according to a short, vague announcement on his site regarding the instance, he's called in some of those pals. We're talkin' at the federal level. At this point I think Michael Bay is the only person who could call in the National Guard or FBI to investigate a missing lap top or leaked page of some flick he's working on.
One of the countless things you've probably learned over the years on this show is Dennis' favorite movie being BLADE RUNNER, a 1982 sci-fi movie starring Harrison Ford. Unlike so many of our cult science fiction darlings, BLADE RUNNER has managed to evade the dreaded re-imaging. And it appears it'll stay that way for the foreseeable future. The owners of the movie did it right! As they get ready to hand the off the licensing and rights to it to another production company, they made sure it was stated, on paper, that the film could not be remade. However, our Replicant pals could appear in a sequel film, a comic book or even a TV show. And one of these is already in the works. Find out which by tuning in!
The eclecticity — yeah I know that's not a word — continues. You could say it flies right into your face, because it's 3D news from here on out! First up, George Lucas. Yep... I don't even think I need to finish this sentence for you to know what he's doing but for the sake of search engine optimization, I will. George and his ILM company are hard at work converting all 6 Star Wars films into 3D. Given these movies weren't shot in 3D, we may have a CLASH OF THE TITANS lackluster transfer here. But then again... it is ILM working on it... but then again, they're starting with Lucas' own EPISODE I. For 30 years this guy has been riding his space-based fairy tale. Is it time he move on? We'll wonder about that on this episode.
And we're not finished with news of crap breaching the 3rd dimension. Perhaps the thought of your Wii remote being accidentally hurled at the $5,000 3D-TV you just bought was too much for Nintendo to bare. The company probably shuddered at the prospect of making dozens of YouTube playlists of kids and adults smashing holes in their 3D plasma screens while playing some newfangled 3D title. So the company went a safer, smaller, Apple iPad 2-like route. Introducing the new-but-yet-old 3D Nintendo DS... the 3DS. That's right, the 250-clams you just dropped on a DS Lite could've gone to this 3DS and you would have had Netflix support. Would that have made it worth the wait? Or the price? Charlie and Dennis wrap today's show with one of their famous lengthy debates on this conundrum.

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?

That would be AT&T. The announcement was made Sunday that they plan to buy T-Mobile USA. This would do a number of things. First and foremost, it would piss off T-Mobile customers. And secondly, it would put AT&T ahead of Verizon in total number of customers. Still, more subscribers doesn't mean better service. Dennis, a T-Mobile user takes this news rather hard. He's devastated for a good 10-minutes. He's able to pull through though at the mere thought of jumping ship and going to Sprint, which allows us to carry the show onward with all the hosts undistracted.
Sad news on the Microsoft front this week as the company decided to discontinue making Zune hardware. Dennis makes an excellent point that now is the time to get a Zune HD on clearance! The iPod/iTunes competitor isn't completely going away though. The Zune player will still appear on other Microsoft mobile devices and the music software for your PC will still be around. Zune is also heavily entrenched in the Xbox 360. The war between the iPod and the Zune might be described as being similar to that of the Mac vs the PC. I think the simple fact that the Zune is a Microsoft product is was scared everyone away. They probably assumed it was Windows-based and would crash or get viruses. This is not the case though. Feature-wise, the Zune is superior. The Zune's computer software is also better than iTunes, in my opinion. But being first has its advantages. Apple was long established in the MP3 player market before the Zune was even off the drawing board. So all that's left to say at this point to my good friend, the Microsoft Zune is, "So long and thanks for all the fish." Thankfully, my Gen-1 Zune is still going strong so suck it Apple!
While competition in the cell phone and music player markets dwindle, it's heating up when it comes to America's top soda-pop. Coca-Cola continues to reign supreme at the number-uno spot for most guzzled. However, the second place drink, Pepsi, seems to be slipping. It's now third! Tune in for the new number-2 and all of the top-10 pops.
Movie news on this edition of the show includes a reunion of the gang from the AMERICAN PIE movies. Universal is in the mood for more frat guy toilet humor, pie fornication and Eugene Levy's eyebrows. Also, it seems one of the advantages to working on a Christopher Nolan movie is that it just might secure you a role in another of his projects. Just ask Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He's secured a part in the next Batman flick. No... he's not playing the Riddler. Charlie had hoped he'd be the Clock King, but that character may be a bit too obscure for a gritty-Gotham take. You'll hear all about Gordon-Levitt's part on today's show.
A segment of "It's The Law" follows movie news and then it's time to close things out with the case of a condom caper in Malaysia. Now... this is Who Asked You?, so I think you already know where this conversation is headed.

This is really easy to do nowadays. If you're a regular listener you know that all of our stories are true, but outrageous enough you'd think we made them up... I mean, come on! Channing Tatum burning his penis? Jenkem? You can't make this stuff up. But on our April Fools' show, it just might be... or maybe not. Will you be an April Fool? Or will you be calling Jonathan Frakes wondering what's fact or fiction? And no Googling... that's cheating! We'll reveal the foolings, if there are any, at the end of the program.
Today's 'possible' foolery... or not, includes news from NBC that they're rebooting CHEERS, one of their most successful sitcoms. The series based in a Boston bar ran for 11 years and spawned 2 spin-offs. Not bad for a show that was nearly canceled after it's first season. The story of the reboot goes like this. It's been 18 years and Cheers is under new ownership. The idea is to bring the show into the 21st century by telling a story about how the bar's new owner is doing the same with the aging establishment. It's set to premier in the fall with possibly old cast members guest starring on select episodes... or is it?
Is Glenn Beck getting his own TV network? I know, I know he pretty much has one already. It's called FOX NEWS CHANNEL. It's being rumored... or is it? That when his contract expires at the end of this year, he may abandon the right-wing cable net for his own 24/7 channel. We just saw Oprah do it... so why not Mr. Beck? He already has a highly successful radio show and website with tons of media content. Oh yeah, he also has that awesome "dry-erase board of truth" he utilizes in his high-decibel ranting. That's it's own show right there... an entire hour of him and his cohorts sketching caricatures of their favorite least-favorite democrats. Is America ready for a Beck-work? Then again, this could be an April Fools prank. We'll report, you decide.
And we've got news of another fool — no April required — dumping on his own movie. Michael Bay took some potshots at TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN... or maybe he didn't? You may recall Megan Fox made her own derogatory comments about Bay's directing style and the film. She promptly transformed out of the gig right afterwards too. Michael Bay says her dismissal had nothing to do with her comments, but we beg to differ. Remember that letter his staff wrote about her? And Shia LeBeouf also stated the film wasn't up-to-par and his performance could've been better. All during this last year Bay stuck up for his 'number 2'. But now it appears he's switching gears. Is it true? You'll find out!
Just about as quickly as that baby shaking app vanished in the Apple store, so too has another. A Christian group in Florida launched an application for Steve Jobs-based mobile devices that they claimed could cure someone of homosexuality. Of course this sparked outrage... or did it? And an e-petition was promptly circulated by gay rights activists to get the app removed. But this sparked another debate. Would removing it violate the religious group's free speech rights? That is the question. A bigger question though is whether or not this story is even true! Could we be fooling you?
Play along won't you? See if you can guess what stories on this episode are of merit or mockery. Filled with the return of an old friend, out of place audio cues and inappropriate candor, it's the Beck-ening, it's our April Fools' joke on all of you......... or is it?]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/994922/episode-157-the-beck-ening/Mon, 28 Mar 2011 02:21:19 +0000Chasecom MediaLike most of 7th HEAVEN's shows, this is a 'very special' episode.

This isn't Michael J. Fox's TEEN WOLF though. This one is a drama. We're calling it TWOLF-LIGHT. As 80s babies we take special offense to this broadcasted atrocity. But in this day and age, we're starting to take things like this with a grain of salt since they're happening everywhere, in every medium. The most we can do, is sit in the bleachers and laugh at it.
Charlie Sheen is suffering from Rebecca Black syndrome. He's popular... but for the wrong reasons. That became overwhelmingly apparent during his first stop on his 20-city tour this past week. People have been fans of him on Twitter and on his incomprehensible webcast, but they weren't too keen on Sheen when he took the stage for his live show. He wasn't funny, he wasn't entertaining and before the show even ended hoards of people were getting up and leaving, demanding refunds. Many of them came right out and said the only reason they bought tickets was to see him fail horribly... and that he did. It's over Charlie, people don't like you, they like to make fun of you. Move on. Oh, and CBS? Please cancel TWO AND A HALF MEN. It too is over. Leave it be.
Maybe people will sue Charlie to get their money back. Suing seems to be the American way. It always has been. You can sue for something absurd, pull a dollar amount out of your ass and you'll likely get it. There were 2 lawsuits that blipped on our radar this week. One of them from a man named Larry Klayman. He's suing Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg for a billion dollars because they didn't take down an anti-Semitic Facebook page as quickly as he would've liked. Wait until you hear his argument for why Zuckerberg should be held accountable. He sights a certain movie that tells the untrue story of how Facebook came to be. And wait until you hear who else this Klayman fellow has sued in the past! The other lawsuit comes by way of the RIAA. Yeah, they're still around. They've filed a claim that you'll find hard to believe. I don't want to give too much away here, but I will say this, the ass they pulled this number from must be sorer than shit right now!
Once again, cue the lens flares and D.C. wide shots... Michael Bay is back. This time he's courting the deity of sci-fi fanboys the world over to voice a seldom heard about Transformer in the next film. Bay says he was scared to ask this guy, but given his wife is Bay's cousin, that made it easier. Have you figured out who I'm talking about?

Are they comfortable? Do they irritate one's skin? Of course, the idea of a hemp made condom comes up... from someone in the chat room! Not us this time! And this show's first penis-pun is 'inserted'.
Our flow continues to stumble along in uneven bursts as we talk about THE GOVERNATOR, a new project from recently departed Cal-ee-fornia head-honcho, Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's on a whirlwind merchandising stunt that'll place him in a comic book, cartoon series, some video games and a potential movie. And guess what his character is... a governor who just left office!!! What a stretch. This could be Arnold's toughest acting gig yet. As much as we love the big guy, this just seems pathetic somehow. You're better than this Arnold. Come on! A cartoon show with a weak character/story line? Video games, comics? Granted, he's getting older. His days of jumping out of helicopters and punching people's faces through the backs of their skulls are quickly coming to an end, so a cartoon would be one way for him to continue his legacy without breaking a hip. But we can't shake the feeling that he could do sooooo much better than this deal.
Over at NBC they're catchin' hell from comic book fans as they make bad wardrobe decisions regarding our beloved Amazonian. Gone are the days of Ms. Carter's hot pants. The Peacock replaced them with something they thought would be equally tantalizing, but instead came off as trashy. For future reference... please don't put Wonder Woman in blue vinyl pants and boots. She doesn't need to look anymore like a porn star than she already does. Not that looking like that is a bad thing, especially for Adrianne Palicki... mmmmm. Oh sorry, but there needs to be a line. Luckily, NBC took all the bashing-blogs into consideration and changed her uniform in time for the pilot episode.
And it's official! BLACK DYNAMITE is getting an animated series. It is going to be on CARTOON NETWORK's ADULT SWIM and the actors from the film will voice their respective characters. So far so good... not so fast says Dennis. A bit surprising. I thought for sure he'd be the most excited out of all of us. Listen in to hear his thoughts on the whole thing.
The country's school systems are failing, budgets are getting slashed, children ARE being left behind. We here at Who Asked You? try and pick up some of that slack with a little segment we call "Who Fact You?". It's 10 random bits of information you can use to better your life, or start a conversation with at a party. The off pacing of the show continues here as well. One fact garners no conversation, while another spirals out of control and off topic.
The program ends, not a moment too soon, with news of the world's first official 3D porno! Surprisingly it's not made in America... Damn it! I was hoping the NAILIN' PALIN sequel would be 3D... instead the film, a remake of one made in 1991, comes from Asia! It's in Cantonese and has Chinese residents flocking to Hong Kong to see the uncut version of the movie. I know what you're thinking... Hollywood isn't the only country doing remakes now. No no, just kidding. What you're probably thinking is what we tackle on this story, do we really need to see porn in 3D?

For future reference... please don't put Wonder Woman in blue vinyl pants and boots. She doesn't need to look anymore like a porn star than she already does. Not that looking like that is a bad thing, especially for Adrianne Palicki... mmmmm. Oh sorry, but there needs to be a line. Luckily, NBC took all the bashing-blogs into consideration and changed her uniform in time for the pilot episode.
And it's official! BLACK DYNAMITE is getting an animated series. It is going to be on CARTOON NETWORK's ADULT SWIM and the actors from the film will voice their respective characters. So far so good... not so fast says Dennis. A bit surprising. I thought for sure he'd be the most excited out of all of us. Listen in to hear his thoughts on the whole thing.
The country's school systems are failing, budgets are getting slashed, children ARE being left behind. We here at Who Asked You? try and pick up some of that slack with a little segment we call "Who Fact You?". It's 10 random bits of information you can use to better your life, or start a conversation with at a party. The off pacing of the show continues here as well. One fact garners no conversation, while another spirals out of control and off topic.
The program ends, not a moment too soon, with news of the world's first official 3D porno! Surprisingly it's not made in America... Damn it! I was hoping the NAILIN' PALIN sequel would be 3D... instead the film, a remake of one made in 1991, comes from Asia! It's in Cantonese and has Chinese residents flocking to Hong Kong to see the uncut version of the movie. I know what you're thinking... Hollywood isn't the only country doing remakes now. No no, just kidding. What you're probably thinking is what we tackle on this story, do we really need to see porn in 3D? The pros and cons of this, as well as a literal "cock blocker" for baby boys and so much more straight ahead on Episode 159: Baby Puncher.]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-160-kind-koncerned-konservativesFirst is that movie based on the TV series that ran in the late 80s to early 90s and starred Johnny Depp. This may have come up on a past episode when it was still being developed. I honestly don't remember. I think we all (including you) may have blocked such horridness from our memories. In any case, the project is 'jumping' forward. They've pretty much rounded out the cast and will probably start shooting soon. I won't list the cast here, I want you to tune in for that. Suffice it to say, it's an interesting group of people they've signed up. Here's a little teaser clue for ya... one of them once burned their penis on the set of another movie.
A scorched trouser snake probably could use some reconstructive plastic surgery. And "According To A New Study" there's no reason for the fellas to feel embarrassed about getting a little nip and tuck done these days. In fact, the number of guys going under the knife has increased dramatically. And the reasons why are sad and worrying.
Our big story of the day comes to us from Orange County, courtesy of one, Marilyn Davenport. It's also the inspiration for this show's title. Notice the spelling? It appears the lovely Davenport is coming under political fire for a "joke" E-Mail image she sent to a few friends. The image portrays President Obama as a monkey..... yep... a monkey. And Miss Davenport claims the racial context of the image never entered her mind... yet in a written apology states she only sent it to a few friends who she thought wouldn't be offended... umm... yeah... that means you knew it would be perceived as offensive to some and you didn't want to send it to them, just your other racist pals does it not? There's been a call from the Orange County GOP leader for Davenport to step down from her position. And as you might imagine, there's a lot of regular folks who are asking her to stop 'monkeying around' and hit the road as well. What makes matters even worse in this case is that just 2 years ago an Orange County mayor resigned after sending a Photoshopped picture of the White House with a watermelon patch in front of it to all of his E-Mail buddies. And Davenport defended him!
These kinds of stories are the best fodder for our show. They generate not only discussion, laughter and thought, but also decibels. If you're a regular listener you know that Mike is the first to call "racism" on any given story. Hell, we've now got him saying it on the sound board! He doesn't let us down this time either. Don't get me wrong, he's absolutely on point and so the flame of good show is fueled.

It's called the NUMI, and it is perhaps the most advanced toilet ever conceived. I would say it does everything but wipe your ass... but it actually does. To be accurate, there's no robo-arm that reaches up to clear the spackle. But there is a robo-bidet that washes it away. For you uncultured folks out there, a bidet is a water jet that spritzes your butthole after you lay your Easter eggs in their watery basket. It leaves you feeling refreshed and mildly violated. Anywho, Kohler's toilet does it all... transforms, heats your feet and cheeks, plays music, lights up and more! Just make sure you're ready to drop some major bones on this throne.
From a place to shit, to a night out that went to shit; our next story tells the tale of 2 college students charged with theft after leaving a bar in Pennsylvania without leaving a tip. All the details are in this week's show. But simply put, they felt the 'required' gratuity on the receipt was not earned by their crappy waitress. As a result the police became involved. This leads to a lengthy discussion about whether or not tipping should be mandatory and shampoo. Yeah, tune in to hear that segue.
Bugs Bunny definitely took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. He and several of his Looney Tunes pals are getting a facelift, relocation and reboot thanks to CARTOON NETWORK. The show finds Bugs and Daffy as roommates. With its sitcom feel, the program's goal is to bring these classic characters into the 21st century. Unfortunately, I don't think their plan is going to work. And the guys agree. The show starts airing next month and I'll tune in to see the end result of 2 years worth of development. But I'm not holding out hope. This show, going off the promo clips on their website, reeks of DRAWN TOGETHER, only more slapstick. Fifty years ago, whodda thought perhaps the greatest cartoon characters ever created would eventually end up living in a neighborhood dealing with current-day issues in a sitcom/reality show spoof?
And in a move that could devastate the motion picture industry — and we're not talking about the next X-Men movie — the studios are in talks with cable companies to start offering theatrically released films on-demand, at home, just 2-months after they premiere on the big screen. That's 2-months shy of the normal wait period. As you might have guessed, directors aren't happy. They weren't consulted and are afraid this move could kill ticket sales and promote piracy. What do you think? Feel free to send us your thoughts. Michael Bay, James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez and several others have written an open letter to the studios begging them to not move forward. But as box office numbers continue to decline, as do DVD sales and more folks would rather see stuff for free online, because lets face it, movies these days aren't worth the $10, the studios are basically panicking.

Concerns of filling the hour while down a man are quickly put to rest as we're barely chipping away at new DVDs halfway through the show.

Anyway, it's being reported — and even tweeted by the stars themselves — that a script for a 3rd trip through time is in the works. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter would reprise their roles as the bodacious duo. Little is known about the plot. Although both actors have said it would be a continuation of the franchise, not a reboot. Whew! That's nice to hear. Besides, they're both in their 40s. Only the CW can pass off middle-aged actors as teenagers. So it'd have to be a 'where are they now' spin.
Of course, age doesn't stop every actor from taking a role. For example, there's a packaged deal making its way around the studios in Hollywood that would reboot the TERMINATOR franchise, and Arnold WOULD return as our favorite cyborg! According to the deal made when the rights were auctioned to the highest bidder, the current owners, Pacificor, have to make another movie or else they lose the rights. And guess who those rights will default to if they don't?
We're finally hearing from Nintendo that a new console will succeed the Wii sometime next year. The question I posed to the fellas is what features they'd like to see in it. The consensus was... fun games. The thing can have all the bells and whistles imaginable. It can create eye-catching high def graphics at super fast frame rates, it can have the most ergonomic controller ever held... hell, it can do you laundry... but if the games aren't worth a shit, then the console isn't either. That's what we think. What about you? Look to the right and tell us what features you'd like to see in the next Nintendo. Or you can send us an E-Mail. One thing is certain, with revenues falling over 50% and so many more gaming choices these days, Nintendo is certainly going to have to 'up their game' to stay competitive.

From there, we do our usual Who Asked You? improvisation regarding how the real HOME ALONE story would've gone. Think what they did with THE DARK KNIGHT. It got very gritty, dark and realistic compared to the previous Batman films. So too does out interpretation of Kevin McCallister's booby-trap antics. In our scenario the little squirt falls victim to some hellacious beatings and torture by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Even his mother is raped when she bursts through the front door.

In an instantaneous Photoshop frenzy there were even depictions of the late Macho Man Randy Savage — who had died the day before — coupled with Jesus in various WWE poses. No time was wasted posting the Jesus-jabs from leaving empty clothing in a public place, to a Dominos Pizza deal good only for Rapture Day. The Intertubes had it all!
From the Rapture to racism we float with another edition of "What Is Michael Bay Up To?" A nerd-rant E-Mail came in this week going off on those who sacked the visceral sack birth idea shown in TRANSFORMERS-2. The point made by our listener was that these 'sacks' weren't conjured up by the Bay-inator as many fans believed, but instead were first mentioned in one of the older cartoon series. To which this E-Mailer argued, you aren't aloud to complain about them unless you know the franchise yourself. Before you go off on something that isn't cannon... make sure that it isn't actually cannon.
But it's not just jelly-covered embryonic robots people were pissed about in the second film. They weren't too fond of Bay's blatant racist robot duo, Skids and Mudflap. Both of which could reference something brown. Well Mr. Bay heard your fist shaking and vowed that these Transformers wouldn't be in the next movie. And if you can find them in it, he'll pay you a hefty cash reward. More on this during today's show.
While we're on the subject of large sums of money... let us talk now about Seth MacFarlane. Fox has dumped an enormous amount of money into this funny fellow. In return he's given them 3 television shows, with just 1 of those actually being any good. But that could change in a couple of years. MacFarlane could have 2 hits come 2013 when he revives our Bedrock buddies Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. A long time coming, MacFarlane will finally get his chance to put his twisted twist on the 60's Hanna-Barbera animation. We ponder the possibilities of what this show will be like. Good, clean, family fun like the original? Probably not. Funny-ass toilet humor run amok? Probably. Will it do the franchise justice? That's the 900-pound Stegosaurus in the room. As clever and as funny as FAMILY GUY is, we can't help but think Seth is going to 'dirty it up' with his crude humor. Not that it won't be funny. But is THE FLINTSTONES really an appropriate platform for it? They make vitamins for kids! A million strong and growing for Christ sake... oops, please don't take me! The 21st has past! It's too early to judge and in all honesty we'll be watching, curious to see what he does with it.
Did I mention we have a FEMALE sitting in today? Wendy is from Hawaii... so what better way to honor her presence than with some hilarious Hawaiian laws. Not the strangest we've heard, there are a few though that are worth a couple-a-coconuts. Some Wendy doesn't even believe are real. "It's The Law" winds up this episode. With all this Rapture-talk the last few days we need some time to repent so we're taking next week off. You can come back though June 5th and we'll have several more new reasons to guarantee our spot in hell.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1049393/episode-165-are-you-rap-sure/Mon, 23 May 2011 02:25:00 +0000Chasecom MediaAlright, so you're reading this which means God didn't suck you up into the sky in a blaze of golden light and rich choir ahhhs. It also means that somewhere, Harold Camping is crawling under a rock and plans to remain there for eternity. While one...It took no time at all for the Rapture jokes to hit the web and even more so, Facebook. In an instantaneous Photoshop frenzy there were even depictions of the late Macho Man Randy Savage — who had died the day before — coupled with Jesus in various WWE poses. No time was wasted posting the Jesus-jabs from leaving empty clothing in a public place, to a Dominos Pizza deal good only for Rapture Day. The Intertubes had it all!
From the Rapture to racism we float with another edition of "What Is Michael Bay Up To?" A nerd-rant E-Mail came in this week going off on those who sacked the visceral sack birth idea shown in TRANSFORMERS-2. The point made by our listener was that these 'sacks' weren't conjured up by the Bay-inator as many fans believed, but instead were first mentioned in one of the older cartoon series. To which this E-Mailer argued, you aren't aloud to complain about them unless you know the franchise yourself. Before you go off on something that isn't cannon... make sure that it isn't actually cannon.
But it's not just jelly-covered embryonic robots people were pissed about in the second film. They weren't too fond of Bay's blatant racist robot duo, Skids and Mudflap. Both of which could reference something brown. Well Mr. Bay heard your fist shaking and vowed that these Transformers wouldn't be in the next movie. And if you can find them in it, he'll pay you a hefty cash reward. More on this during today's show.

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."]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1080310/episode-169-whats-that-smell/Mon, 27 Jun 2011 02:33:07 +0000Chasecom MediaWe are out of practice when it comes to not talking over each other.

This show is much less 'in order' than most others. We start off with an update to a "Jenkem Watch" story last week. The homeless man that fled the scene after he was caught hiding in a Porta-Potty's receptacle tank was caught by police. And yes, as you might expect from someone who doesn't mind rolling around in poo, he is completely insane. Due to his comments to a Denver news station, we deviate to playing the sound an American Bald Eagle makes.
Since the first Saturday of the month just passed, another free screening of a corny movie took place at the Rave Theaters here in Las Vegas. This month's selection... the 1990 version of CAPTAIN AMERICA. We were an hour early and the line for this was wrapped around the building! Charlie cut in line, the rest of us did not. After estimating the people-to-seat ratio, Jabari, Mike, Dennis and I decided to hit the bar instead. Since Charlie did make it inside, he fills us in on the film's hilarity as well as some that took place in the theater crowd. Apparently many of the folks in that ginormous line we didn't stand in didn't realize these midnight movie showings get riffed on heavily. As Charlie explains, there were some walkouts. So in hindsight, there probably was enough seats for everyone.
One of our loyal-listeners who hasn't been in touch with us for some time finally does get back in contact via E-Mail. He blasts his way through various topics we've addressed in recent weeks before ending with an assessment of Charlie's Marty McFly impression.
Just before "New Releases," which we don't get to until halfway through the show, the chat room asks us about the debacle in San Franscisco that was MoviePass. Basically, a subscription based service offering low movie ticket prices to customers launched a beta test in San Fran, but failed to tell the local theater chains about it. As you might have guessed, the whole test imploded in on itself and is now in limbo.
Because we run short on time, we jump right into "Breaking News" with the story of the band P.M.E.R. These fellas had what one might describe as a rough night in their new Brooklyn apartment. An understatement to say the least. They got robbed. And it's really no surprise why given their location. There were also several red flags they chose to ignore, including a 15-minute gun battle in the street below shortly after they moved there. Tune into the show for all the details on this one.
Working backwards, stories meant for the start of the show actually end it. Those include another movie based on a classic Disney ride, a movie based on a non-fiction pregnancy manual and an awesome idea for fast food joints that we hope will quickly sweep the nation.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1096632/episode-170-drop-kick-a-mexican-kid/Sun, 03 Jul 2011 22:00:05 +0000Chasecom MediaYou learn so much listening to our high decibel chatter every week.

This month's selection... the 1990 version of CAPTAIN AMERICA. We were an hour early and the line for this was wrapped around the building! Charlie cut in line, the rest of us did not. After estimating the people-to-seat ratio, Jabari, Mike, Dennis and I decided to hit the bar instead. Since Charlie did make it inside, he fills us in on the film's hilarity as well as some that took place in the theater crowd. Apparently many of the folks in that ginormous line we didn't stand in didn't realize these midnight movie showings get riffed on heavily. As Charlie explains, there were some walkouts. So in hindsight, there probably was enough seats for everyone.
One of our loyal-listeners who hasn't been in touch with us for some time finally does get back in contact via E-Mail. He blasts his way through various topics we've addressed in recent weeks before ending with an assessment of Charlie's Marty McFly impression.
Just before "New Releases," which we don't get to until halfway through the show, the chat room asks us about the debacle in San Franscisco that was MoviePass. Basically, a subscription based service offering low movie ticket prices to customers launched a beta test in San Fran, but failed to tell the local theater chains about it. As you might have guessed, the whole test imploded in on itself and is now in limbo.
Because we run short on time, we jump right into "Breaking News" with the story of the band P.M.E.R. These fellas had what one might describe as a rough night in their new Brooklyn apartment. An understatement to say the least. They got robbed. And it's really no surprise why given their location. There were also several red flags they chose to ignore, including a 15-minute gun battle in the street below shortly after they moved there. Tune into the show for all the details on this one.
Working backwards, stories meant for the start of the show actually end it. Those include another movie based on a classic Disney ride, a movie based on a non-fiction pregnancy manual and an awesome idea for fast food joints that we hope will quickly sweep the nation.]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-171-the-bone-clauseFirst up on this slightly off eppy, a reason why you should always rehearse stuff before going on-air. All I wanted to do was show the fellas a funny little game I downloaded on my phone. My goal was to include you listeners in on the fun by letting you hear the sound from the game. Easy enough... all I had to do was plug in a cable to the headphone jack on my phone. What I didn't anticipate was that the silicone case on said phone had a slightly smaller diameter hole for the headphone port than the cable. So it wouldn't quite plug all the way into the jack. Without going too in-depth, you don't get to hear very much of the game and it throws off my entire presentation.
After that debacle comes a Dennis-derailment involving a YouTube comments argument he got into with some kid over the origin story of Wolverine and the makeup of his claws. As you can imagine, this spawns another 15-minute conversation revolving around Marvel's uncanny ability to F-up one story line after another.
Once the show actually reaches the meat portion, things remain a little iffy. The first story of the day is Daniel Radcliffe's admission that he started to develop an alcohol problem during the last 3 Harry Potter films. Luckily, he says he nipped it in the butt before it got out of hand and now prefers to spend his off hours watching basic cable.
You know us... we love penises......... wait, that didn't sound right at all. We love 'STORIES' involving penises. Usually funny ones where someone does something awful to their member or in this case, a non-sensical study is released containing information that some would debate is not scientifically valid despite said study. Scientists in South Korea have apparently found a correlation between finger length and phallic length. Apparently curing cancer or AIDS is further down the checklist these days than finding out why your dick doesn't measure up to a porn star's. These Korean scientists say that the bigger the difference in length between your index and ring finger, the shorter your schlong is likely to be. Who in the Asked You Crew is packin'? Tune in to find out!
Justin Bieber, Mike's favorite person ever, has blipped on our radar this week. He made the cover of February's VANITY FAIR magazine. And in doing so, made their records as one of the worst selling issues. He came in 3rd on the list. You'll want to hear who made the top-2 spots.
We wind down the weirdness over the new technique networks are using to make even more money. They're digitally altering sitcom reruns like, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, by inserting ads in the backgrounds. An audio bit I came up with last minute gets Jabari rolling with laughter only second so far to the great HOME ALONE banter from the episode called "Heez-Its." And we debate whether this is a harmless, additional revenue stream for the show owners or a corruption of a program's story and continuity. Listen to the story and if you have any thoughts on it.

Everyone knows Comic-Con was in full swing this week. Dennis and Jabari headed down to check things out. That's why Stephanie, sad she didn't get to go herself, is filling in for them. We chat about the convention, what we've heard and share some thoughts on the CAPTAIN AMERICA movie and brief AVENGERS teaser at the end of the credits. Other news that happened... Netflix raised their prices and took a lot of flack for it. In an attempt to do their customers a favor, the company got bitched at by those who feel they're entitled. If you look into why they raised the price ONLY for customers who also receive DVD's, you'll realize the ones you should be pissed at are the movie studios. If you're a streaming only customer with Netflix, your price didn't change.
Another story on the our radar is one of our own! Not only did we hit 800 'Likes' on Facebook, but this episode also marked Charlie's 3rd anniversary as a host.
Our first big story of the day is quite a catch. The man who caught Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit will likely get hit with some hefty taxes even though he gave the $300,000 ball back to Jeter. As a thank you for doing so, the Yankees awarded the guy with luxury box tickets and signed merch worth over $30,000. And the Internal Rape Service says that stuff counts as income! So they're taxing him between 5 and 13-grand, but get this, he says he'll pay it! It's the subject of this week's "We Ask You Poll." Should he have to pay taxes on it? Cast your vote!
It's no secret the Who Asked You? Crew grew up in the 90's. That's why when we heard Nickelodeon was bringing back a bunch of shows from that decade in a midnight block called THE 90's ARE ALL THAT, we were jumping up and down on the proverbial Snick couch. The trip down adolescent-memory lane begins tonight at midnight!
Also in the news, director Joe Johnston wants to make a STAR WARS spin-off movie. He says he's been bugging George Lucas to let him make it, but so far no decision has been made. It would center on a character we've already met in the original trilogy. In fact, it's one Johnston helped design when he was an art director for Lucas on the films.
Sometimes an apple a day is not the best course. Rumors are flying! Now that Hulu is up-for-sale, it's believed that Apple may put in a bid. After all, the company is sitting on over $65-billion. It's the second most valuable company in the world... god knows why... but I fear if this is true and Apple ends up buying Hulu, it could be absorbed into iTunes somehow. And iTunes sucks... there's a Facebook Page that says so. I'm getting way ahead of myself here. Most likely Apple will not buy Hulu. They're not known for making large acquisitions. Then again, they have made a few in the past.
Something Apple hasn't invested in is a retail store in Kunming, China. Yet, a blogger who returned home from a worldwide excursion discovered one that just popped up in her neighborhood. It seemed legit... but she blogged that upon closer inspection, something wasn't right. Despite that, she says the store was a pretty good rip off. Even the employees are fooled. As far as they know, they actually work for the black turtleneck.
We end the show with Breaking News... perhaps one of the craziest stories we've heard in a while. It comes courtesy of Russia and a gal, appropriately named, Olga. Such a powerful female presence that name commands, doesn't it? Olga lives up to her name too. She's a black belt in karate. That's why when a guy entered her salon and tried to rob it, she dropped him to the floor with one kick. But getting beat up by a girl wasn't the end of this guy's adventure.

Everything lives in the digital cloud now. Upsides... less waste, faster delivery, lower overhead which leads to lower cost, etc. Downsides... lets ask one, John Christman. He bought his download of Apple's latest OS, Lion. And after downloading the latest iTunes' beta, he proceeded to re-download all of the apps he already owned. The problem is, a glitch in either Apple or PayPal's system charged Christman the price of Lion for the over 100 apps he'd already paid for. Christman is now totally broke and isn't getting much help from PayPal. Apple says they'll work with him to return the thousands of dollars he was wrongly charged. Just think, this probably wouldn't have happened if Apple hadn't banished hard copies of their software. It's bad enough pleading with them to let you re-download iTunes music after your computer crashes... now you gotta do it with programs too?
On the flip side, maybe Apple is onto something... Maybe CD's are obsolete. Ford has just announced that they're going to stop putting CD players in their Focus models and instead 'focus' on connectivity options for today's smart phones and MP3 players. It's not surprising they're starting this with the Focus. It's a cheaper car aimed at the younger driver. And kids today barely know what those shiny plastic circles are. Eventually Ford says they'll probably stop equipping all of their models with disc players making CD's this generation's cassette tapes.
My favorite segment returns this week. "Who Fact You?" is back with 10 more randomly chosen factoids to tickle your skull's innards. One of the facts even includes a video! You'll learn things like which character is missing from The Flintstones Vitamins, which planet rotates the wrong way and in the aforementioned video, how loud is the world's loudest burp.
And one guy 'butters' himself up in our Breaking News segment. A somewhat bland play on words for the events that transpired in this story. Don't wanna spoil it, so I'll just say it involves a butter knife and do-it-yourself healthcare. This also leads to what I discover is 'crossing the line' with jokes.

TBS felt Conan O'Brien was 'entitled' to George Lopez's timeslot and he got it. Nearly a year later, Lopez has been canceled and Coco's ratings are caca. But the network that's not shy to rerun OVERBOARD on a weekly basis isn't giving up just yet. Aside from the $12-mill they've stuffed into O'Brien's blazer pockets, they'll be doing the same with Sheldon, Howard, Leonard and Penny. In an attempt to bolster Conan's numbers, TBS will start playing reruns of THE BIG BANG THEORY as a lead-in twice a week to CONAN. And you may remember on a previous show, we told you BANG is costing them $2-million per episode! I'm a fan of the geek-centered show. They're entitled to it.
And in our Breaking News segment we find Starbucks pondering whether a dwarf employee of theirs is 'entitled' to a step stool. In El Paso, Texas... she is NOT. On her behalf, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit against the coffee company claiming they discriminated against the woman after she requested the height-enhancing instrument.

Then it's onto GHOSTBUSTERS news. The day we've all been dreading has arrived. Dan Aykroyd has confirmed the film will begin production next spring. He also said it's moving ahead with or without Bill Murray. It's no secret Murray hasn't exactly been ecstatic about the project. He even said the script has been sitting on his desk for months and that he'd read it, eventually. We'll tell you about a few plot elements and casting possibilities. But to be honest, we're already feeling a lot less excited about it that Bill Murray.
Then we move along to "It's The Law." It's been awhile since we did this segment and it's back with a vengeance! The state-of-choice this time has so many moronic-mandates we have to break it up into 2-parts! Be sure to tune in next week for the other half.
And something else to look forward to next week, hopefully, is the arrival of my Roku T-Shirt!!! Hopefully they don't listen to the crude-fest that is our little show, otherwise they may be paying me to NOT wear their clothes too... who am I kidding, I'll probably just get a cease and desist order, if not for that, then probably for the logo above!]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1134746/episode-176-abersnobby-bitch/Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:21:44 +0000Chasecom MediaI feel compelled to explain the parody logo pictured at left.

At first, we ponder the Apple situation. Unless you live on another planet, you've probably heard by now that Steve Jobs has stepped down as CEO of his company.

The MMO game from Cryptic Studios plans to go free-to-play before the end of this year. That works out great for those of us too cheap to pay a monthly or lifetime subscription fee. But how will it work out for those who already have? That's one question we wonder about.
And we didn't leave you STAR WARS folks out. More news is emerging about the Blu-ray release of the 6 films. Mainly that George Lucas is 'refurbishing' them once again. He's decided to add more CGI whether it be rocks, characters or eyelids. And he's added the same line of dialogue to the same character he did in EPISODE 3 in EPISODE 6. It was made fun of and not well received then and is already getting the same reaction again.
Once we return from a green screen far far away, it's time for the second part of our Texas "It's The Law" segment. We learn which town Dennis can't move to because of his secret huffing problem, so you won't want to miss this.
And our show ends with broken news starting with new words being added and old ones taken away from the various dictionaries we use. Words like "tweet"... yeah... I know. That dumb-ass website has had that much of an impact on our culture. I shudder at the thought... or is it shutter? I'd better look that up.

The only reason he really comes up is because of the ridiculous flyer circulating for it. Like many celebrities, Rupert has chosen to celebrate his day of birth right here in Who Asked You? country... Las Vegas, Nevada. The nightclubs here love their flyers and full-page glossy ads in local magazines and newspapers. On the way out of the Zia Record store Dennis frequents, the flyer for Rupert's birthday caught his eye. And for good reason. Just look at the way it's laid out; with "Harry Potter" scrolled across the top. The name of a character he didn't play! And why are they using a shot of a burning Hogwarts? Is that supposed to be the party's aftermath? The real question here is when do we stop tying these actors to these roles. If Rupert comes back to Vegas for his 40th birthday, are we still gonna put his head inside the Harry Potter castle? By then, crow's feet won't be an ingredient in some magic potion.
As we eagerly await the next piece of auditory-art from Dirty Potter, a Twitter follower sent us a link to a 'dirty' version of "The Catcher In The Rye" that someone on YouTube whipped up. It certainly has some Dirty Potter-esk elements to it. We play a short snippet. You can hear the entire clip in the Show Links.
There are few things in this world that can bring the entire Who Asked You? Crew to tears. One of those things is on today's show. TNT, a network we all admire and trust has canceled........ HAWTHORNE! Just 3 seasons in, ol' Hawthy saved a lot of patients, but she couldn't save TNT's 'patience'. We discuss the ramifications and our feelings about this cancellation on today's program.
Here's something you may not have known... Tim Burton nearly directed a BEETLEJUICE sequel in the early 90's. The script was nearly in final draft form but everything fell apart at the last minute. Now, 20-some years later, he may just get the chance again. Warner Brothers has made a deal with a couple of writers that will include, among other projects, a sequel for our favorite bio-exorcist. Very little info is available right now. There's no director, no casting, no script. We can only hope that at the very least, Michael Keaton will reprise his role.
If you were approached in a fast food restaurant parking lot and propositioned to buy an iPad from a couple of questionable looking fellows for a to-good-to-be-true price, would you?

If you listened to our last show, you probably know what they are. They're from STAR WARS and 1 of them we'll be getting lots-o-use from.
First on the agenda is a recap of our panel at Anime St. George. What a blast that was. Everyone was so kind and happy to see us. They all really enjoyed — or seemed to enjoy at least — our crazy little hour. We did a costume contest, a Q&A, which Jabari and Charlie dominated, and we gave away some gag gifts as we're known to do.
Then it's onto another recap; this one of some noteworthy events that occurred while we were away. Things like the debut of the new Sheen-less TWO AND A HALF MEN. The apology letter and announcement from Netflix's CEO that the company would be splitting its service into 2 divisions. And then the news that R.E.M. has decided to call it quits after 30-years. You'll hear our thoughts on all these stories and more.
After getting caught up on last week's stories, we dive into this week's news. News Corp, you know, the company that has no morals, actually pays Bill O'Reilly to talk and owns FOX? Yeah, they seem to think THE SIMPSONS can be milked for a few more bucks and are pondering a network themed around the longest running prime time series.
Another coalition of parents with nothing better to do is up in arms. Surprisingly, they aren't mad over something they saw on TV but rather an ice cream inspired by something from TV! 'One Million Moms' are pissed at Ben & Jerry's over the name of their latest limited edition flavor. It's called "Schweddy Balls" and is inspired by a well-known SNL skit starring Alec Baldwin. They don't want kids asking mommy for some "Schweddy Balls" in the grocery store. But since the ice cream is clearly labeled as rum-flavored, mom would probably keep Junior from it anyway.

This is when Danielle Fishel, once again, comes up in the conversation. If you're a regular listener, you'll know we often refer to the actress who portrayed 'Topanga' in BOY MEETS WORLD as, 'To-bang-ya'... a phrase Jabari and Dennis coined, for obvious reasons, years before we started this show.

We've waited quite awhile for another 'dirty' adventure from our friend, Dirty Potter. And today that wait is over. However, this is the point in the 'couch moving' where Dennis and Jabari decide to take a break and it falls on the remaining 3 of us to keep it from tumbling down the stairs. As producer of the show, I look for cues from my co-hosts that a segment just doesn't work anymore. Perhaps it's run its course and needs to be removed.

Therefore, this will be the final airing of a Dirty Potter clip on the Who Asked You? show... As master of the program, I've got to get the couch through the doorway as smoothly as possible.
After Jabari naps and Dennis Nooks, we're able to slide the sofa through as the show winds down with some, Best Worst Most Least and Who Fact You? fun.

A loyal listener tells us a few episodes back, while talking about Steve Jobs stepping down at Apple, we kinda sounded like assholes. In particular, I made the comment that people were eulogizing him and he wasn't dead yet. My comment was somewhat prophetic given the following week, he was.
At the end of the E-Mail, we're reminded to take care of our teeth. And in true Who Asked You? style, this sends us spiraling into a conversation about oral care. And is the inspiration behind this program's title.
And if all this wasn't random enough, the new DVD releases conjures up even more! THE GOONIES is coming out on Blu-ray. Being the 80's flick fiends that we are, we can't help but quote a few lines from the film. But then the real conversation... Dennis wonders if the guy who played Sloth, John Matuszak, was actually deformed like the character was in the movie. A quick image search of the actor revealed what the rest of us already knew... no, he wasn't. In fact, he was featured in a magazine posing all sexy and nude. This launches a few more jokes, and wouldn't you know it... come to find out, he's dead too. I guess we really are assholes.
Another big story today is the salary dispute of THE SIMPSONS voice actors. In this day and age, where TV and movie companies are fighting an uphill battle for revenue against the Internet, jobs of any kind are hard to come by, let alone in the entertainment industry and voice actors are being systematically replaced by on-camera ones that use their regular voices, it astounds me that these people would bitch over a pay cut that would keep them working for years to come and would still have them raking in a quarter of a million per episode. Are you kidding me?!?! Be thankful you've steadily worked in Hollywood for 23 years and take the god damned cut. You'll hear more Chase rant like this on the actual show.
With all the superhero movies out there, it's no surprise that someone "tried this at home." In Seattle, Washington a vigilante calling himself "Phoenix Jones" has been fighting crime for about a year. And like most heroes, he's kept his identity secret... don't want any of those evil Seattle super villains going after his family after all. Well, reality punched him in the face last week and he was forced to reveal himself on the steps of the courthouse after he was charged with assaulting 4 people he claims were fighting. We discuss and make fun of this guy too. At least he's not dead... yet.
And in "Breaking News" we make fun of another guy, Saddam Hussein... okay, it's not actually Saddam, it's an Egyptian resident who bears a striking resemblance to the former Iraq leader. Sure, he gets harrassed for his looks and doesn't deserve it. But that's not the whole story.

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.

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...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.

Dennis and I got a chance to go and see all the latest in after market goodies for car enthusiasts. While wondering around being humbled by the 100-plus thousand dollar cars, I was on the lookout for Who Asked You? fodder. And boy did I find some!

Keep in mind, it requires a lot of elbow grease and you'll be living a lie.
Fox is bringing back IN LIVING COLOR for a small test run this coming Spring. It'll be once again produced by Keenan Ivory Wayans and feature an all-new cast. If all goes well, Fox will bring it back for an entire season starting next Fall.
Plus, his A&E TV show might be over, but his career as a lawman is certainly not. Steven Seagal was just sworn in to a small sheriff's department in Texas. According to a spokesman there, he'll be a regular deputy chief on patrol and will train his fellow officers in martial arts. As kids who grew up watching his films, you can imagine we've got a few thoughts on this.
Harold Camping, that crazy-ass evangelist who's incorrectly predicted the end of days several times already has announced he's retiring and is no longer able to run his radio company or his church after being wrong, again, with his latest prediction. Not surprisingly, he doesn't want to speak to the press about his latest flub. No one likes to be called wrong, crazy, moron, etc. Now that he's retired he'll have even more time to think up more bad predictions that won't come true.
In our "According To A New Study" segment, we examine the results of a study in which scientists examined semen. For several months, the male participants logged the foods they ate and then researchers looked closely at the effects that food had on their spooge. We'll tell you the results on this episode!
By now you've probably heard Justin Bieber is being accused of fathering a child by a crazy bitch who didn't finish high school. Clearly Mariah Yeater didn't think her lie through. In filing the suit, she basically admitted to being a pedophile since Bieber was 16 at the time of the apparent conception. The boy pop star says he'll take a DNA test to prove he isn't the pop and then sue her for his trouble.
And lastly, while on the subject of pedophilia... again... the editor of TLC's JON AND KATE PLUS 8 got arrested for possessing child pornography. Here's a guy who stares at video of children all day, then goes home and stares at more video of children while probably doing something that's frowned upon in an office setting.

If you're a longtime listener, you know Who in the Asked You? Crew should've known this... that's right, Mike. But unfortunately, Mike's team answered incorrectly. We were all stunned to say the least. That's why, on today's program, I'm giving Mike a chance to redeem himself. Will he do so? You'll find out.
After that matter is cleared up, it's onto our newest bit, the "Who Asked You? Calendar". A brief, but informative look at the vague and obscure holidays in the week ahead. After doing a few of these already, it's become clear Charlie is not a fan of most "Something Something Days". For example, Sunday, the day we netcasted this episode live on ErrorFM.com, it was "World Kindness Day". A pretty self explanatory celebration. Charlie's response is classic... classic Charlie that is.
Eddie Murphy is out of the Oscars. He was scheduled to host the upcoming event. But his director buddy, Brett Ratner, who was also planning to co-produce the Oscars telecast, made an insulting gay slur on Howard Stern's radio show and consiquently backed out of the gig. Eddie soon followed. Now hosting duties will once again fall on Oscar-veteran Billy Crystal. There was that Eddie Murphy news as well as some regarding BEVERLY HILLS COP 4. I will tell you, the film is NOT happening according to Murphy. However, he is developing another project within the franchise. We've got those details and our thoughts on them.
Nickelback... They were the 2nd and 3rd out of 6 stories on the rundown. But these 2 bits of Nickel-news consumed the remained of this week's show. First up, the musical taste dating site, TasteBuds.fm, conducted a poll to see which musical groups or artists were the biggest turn-offs. And Nickelback won the day. Nearly 1 in 8 people said they would end a date without sex if they found out their date liked the pop-rock band. And what's worse for them are the bands they beat out for the spot. That's where the gasoline is thrown upon the flame and another classic Who Asked You? argument errupts. This one so heated it forced an on-the-fly change of the "We Ask You Poll". Originally the question was: Do you like Nickelback? But we decided we needed additional opinions other than ours to settle who's worse, Nickelback or Creed. Be sure to cast your vote on the poll to the right! If there's someone you think is worse than those 2, send us an E-Mail!
Another bruise to the Canadian band's ego is discoloring nicely. They're scheduled to play the Detroit Lions' halftime show this Thanksgiving, but Lions fans aren't having it. Many are so upset over it, they've started a petition over at Change.org. And they're pretty damn close to getting the 70,000 signatures they need to formerly request a change of performers. The petition sites the fact that Detroit has a large number of talented musicians (more talented than Nickelback in their opinion) and that they didn't want the nationally televised game to give off the impression that Nickelback is somehow closely associated with Detroit. I read the entire impassioned plea on the show, it's pretty funny and frank. If you feel the same as many do about Nickelback, you too can sign the petition using the link in the Show Links below. Charlie did it on-air! No doubt this argument will pick up again on next week's episode when we reveal the poll results.

For example, Jenna. I do enjoy offering alternatives to Apple stuff. And I do enjoy talking about technological advances that fascinate me. Case in point, Siri on the iPhone 4S. It's so incredible that voice recognition is advancing to the point where we can carry on a conversation with a computer without having to sound like a computer ourselves. Siri is impressive... but you don't need an iPhone to get a piece of ass-istant. On Android we have Speaktoit. Like Siri, this virtual assistant can do your bidding and offers witty replies to your juvenile requests. I named mine Jenna. And customized her outfit, hair color, eye brows, skin tone and lips. Lets see you do that on Siri... oh wait, Siri is just a silver button. Of course, the avatar is useless. Her lips don't move and you can turn her off if you want to. But it's something fun to mess with none-the-less. Hear my demonstration of the Speaktoit Personal Assistant on this show.
The somewhat robotic voice behind my phone-flunky reminds me of Waffle Bot from the new A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS. We spew a few spoilers during the show, so I won't mention too much of it here. But, we highly recommend this movie. If you go back far enough in our archive when I first read off the premise, you'll hear our apprehension. We are thankful to say, it wasn't necessary. The film delivered what you'd expect from these 2 potheads, plus more. Not the best of the films, but certainly a worthy addition. We would love to see a 4th!
We also have an update to the news of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT's return for another season. We first told you about this a few shows back. It was announced that the series would return for a 10-eppy run leading up to a feature film. What wasn't known was where it would air. Well, we have that information now... and it's awesome! The 4th season of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT will run exclusively on Netflix. This is just one more step forward for the company in its attempt to become a content superpower outside of just streaming already-made movies and TV shows. They've said before their goal is to ultimately provide original content as well. Sort of like a streaming HBO or FX network. This is good news for us all!
Okay, now onto the bulk of the program... Black Friday... or in this case, "Black Midnight". Stores are caught in a never ending attempt to outdo one another and as a result, many will be opening late Thanksgiving night. Some will be open Thanksgiving Day. Just when you thought it couldn't get anymore outrageous after that poor man was trampled to death at a Wal-Mart last year; here we are now on the cusp of Thanksgiving becoming "Black Thursday". Where do we draw the line? The retailers won with Christmas. They've turned that into nothing more than a card-swiping extravaganza. Now they're working on doing the same with Thanksgiving. The 2 holidays in the USA that are meant for family, togetherness and reflection are gone. They're nothing more than a representation of EVERYTHING that's wrong with our consumerist-driven economy that is NOT sustainable. You may have heard of something called "Respect the Turkey". It's a new movement in which people and businesses are being asked to hold off on Christmas related activities until Thanksgiving is over with. What a concept! Celebrate that holiday AFTER you're done celebrating the current one. Some small businesses are taking the idea seriously. I heard on the radio last night while driving home from recording this episode that some stores in a local mall here are refusing to put up Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving has passed. Now if we could just get K-Mart, Sears, Kohl's, JCPenney, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Fry's, Bed Bath & Beyond, any shopping mall in America, Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, GAP, Toys 'R' Us, Target and the rest to follow suit, we may actually be able to enjoy the holidays. And yes, I know, the consumer is just as much to blame for this Black Friday bullshit as the stores are. They should be ashamed as well.

On our show we love to talk about products with whimsical names. And we've got 2 for you today. The first is mentioned at the top of the show. It's a book called "Stuck Up!". And has a rather literal meaning in terms of describing the book's content. The other is a couple of energy drinks from a new Las Vegas-based beverage company. Don't expect these cans to show up anytime soon in places like Utah. So far the company has 2 flavors, "Big Cock" and "Little Pussies". Although the drinks don't actually taste like their namesakes, you can't help but wonder how open retailers are going to be to items named like this. Just look at the tantrum that was briefly thrown over Ben & Jerry's "Schweddy Balls" ice cream. And that wasn't even spelled as precise. The company says they'll probably have some 'toned down' versions of the names for those conservative retailers.
If you've ever wondered how many explosions Michael Bay has set off in his career, wonder no more. The website, MovieLine.com managed to sit through all of his flicks and counted every last mushroom cloud, fireball and flash of flames. The numbers are staggering. About half of his explosions are contained in the TRANSFORMERS trilogy alone. And of those, over a third of them were in THE DARK OF THE MOON. Lets play a game for a moment. Lets say, given man power, supplies, union wages and so on, each explosion costed $10,000... and that's probably a conservative estimate. If that was the case, he would've spent $6,220,000 on explosions alone for the 3 TRANSFORMERS films. Keep in mind, this was just a hypothetical to illustrate the ridiculousness of Bay's cinema prowess.
Meanwhile across the pond in the UK, the founders of a fashion label and magazine there are attempting to push legislation through that would regulate digitally altered photographs in magazines. Pictures of movie stars, models or other celebrities that were Photoshopped in some fashion would be required to include a disclaimer announcing it.

I pose the question to the guys, is this a good idea? What do you think? Maybe it's up to the parents of kids to tell them these images are fake.

Jabari, Mike, Dennis and yours truly remain at our posts and carry on dutifully with the program however.
It's been nearly 2-weeks since Black Thursday/Friday. That means all the police reports have been filed and we're able to recap — at the behest of Dennis — the foolishness of those who pile-drived the elderly, head-butted a small child or assaulted his/her fellow man in some other way for no other reason than 15% off of some product they could've gotten cheaper online somewhere, any day of the year. As I read aloud the criminal behavior that took place on these 2 shameful days, you'll probably notice a commonality among them. I won't spoil it hear. Tune in to find out what it is.
As if husbands, boyfriends, brothers and other male companions didn't have it bad enough having to endure the subpar acting and over-abundance of bed head in the TWILIGHT films. Now they have to gamble on whether or not they'll seizure while watching them. Since it's premier, TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN has apparently caused seizures in at least 2 people in 2 different states. Apparently, during a scene in which the chick is giving birth, there are several bright flashes of light that trigger the response. As if you didn't need anymore reasons NOT to watch these awful movies.
Since we're on the subject of 'birthing', did you hear Siri won't tell you where abortion clinics are? That's right, the iPhone digital assistant comes up empty handed when queried on the subject. Many have already concluded Apple is imposing some sort of pro-life agenda via the app. The company says, however, it's a glitch because Siri is still in beta. They say as the final version nears, these locations will be included and it was simply an oversight on their part. What do you think? Cast your vote on this week's poll and tell us!
If you're on an Android phone, you've got nothing to worry about. I put the Speaktoit Virtual Assistant I introduced you to a couple of weeks ago to the test and she passed with flying colors! You'll hear it happen live on today's episode. This launches me into a bit of a 'Chase Rant'. I own an HTC Droid Incredible. The phone, in my opinion, is incredible. I'm a huge HTC fan, however, I must say they dropped the ball big time on their Gingerbread update. You'll hear the rest of my thoughts and my journey of aggravation when updating my phone.
Somehow, we end up on the subject of Ben & Jerry's ice cream in another classic, but very random, Who Asked You? segue. You'll hear my recommendations for their best flavors. I may have even convinced Dennis to try a few of them.
And we end this Cheese-less edition with another story of a school choosing someone with an unconventional profession to speak to their students. Just last week we told you about Sasha Grey, a former porn star, reading to children at an elementary school on Compton to the dismay of their parents and flat out denial by the school's administrators. Now comes news that a Hooters waitress spoke at a special needs school in Florida regarding her career. Now hold off on your insta-judgement. She didn't tell the children she worked at Hooters and was not in the restaurant's iconic skimpy uniform. She was there to talk about being a waitress and how working in the service industry while going to college to better yourself was a great thing to do. Still, despite the ambiguity of exactly WHERE she worked, parents were still pissed off over the whole thing. You'd think in this day and age where grown adults fist fight over a video game, teeny bopper movies cause seizures and smartphones will tell you just about anything you wanna know, there'd be bigger concerns on parents' minds than some pretty lady showing up at school to talk about going to college, or reading for story time...

We need to get something off our chests and it involves ABC getting something off their air. You may have seen the commercial already... the American Broadcasting Company, in its infinite wisdom is bringing us a sitcom in January called, WORK IT. It's from the brilliant minds behind FRIENDS and is about 2 guys who end up cross dressing as women in order to get jobs. Yeah, this joke should be sustainable for several seasons without getting old. Not since the Geico Caveman sitcom have we seen a premise for a show so damned awful we almost couldn't believe our eyes. Is this real? Is this an actual show that people got paid to write and produce and edit?
The words keep-a-flowin' as we move along to our commentary on THE THREE STOOGES movie. If you see this film you'll be poking your own eyes out, you won't need Moe to do it. From the teaser trailer that premiered online this week we can surmise a few played out, overused and down right insulting elements from this film. All of which run the length of the entire trailer and will most likely do the same in the actual film too. First, the fish out of water gag. The 3 seem lost in time or at least, completely out of their element (please see the iPhone scene in the trailer below). Second, the only truly convincing Stooge of the 3 is Will Sasso as Curly. Larry is... umm... not working for me and Moe is borderline. Then we have Snooki. Yeah, you read that correctly, Snooki is in this movie..... case rested.
A very entertaining listener E-Mail precedes our first main story of the day. You won't want to miss this rant about holiday shopping. And speaking of shopping; one STAR WARS fan picked up the ultimate memorabilia at a Hollywood auction this past week. The original 35mm movie camera used to shoot A NEW HOPE. Fully restored, with lens, accessories and even the dolly! Apparently there is an entire community of collectors who specialize in accumulating movie cameras used to shoot iconic films. Not as easy as it may sound. Movie cameras are expensive. Plus, a majority of features are shot with Panavision cameras and lenses, available for renting only. Older units collecting dust do get sold off. But you gotta know when and where. And you gotta have the cash. Especially if you're buying the one used on STAR WARS. Wait 'till you hear total for the winning bid!
In order to meet the monthly guidelines of educational content within a podcast, we must bring you another round of 'Who Fact You?'. This one is a bit more brisk compared to past lists. Perhaps it's because Charlie is absent. Or maybe because Dennis is hungover. In any case, you'll get 10 more facts to wow your pals with at the next kegger.
Getting back to our 'words' theme... there's one grouping of letters that is immediately recognizable when it comes to pornography and that's "XXX". And now, websites specializing in the naughty content can end in .xxx instead of com or net or whatever. A registry company here in the US has started selling domains with the triple-letter extension. This could be good and bad. You may have heard the organization that oversees the web and domain registration is looking to expand extensions to include anything; .me, .horse, .car, .fart... whatever you can think of. This means though that companies trying to protect their image will have to spend more money to do so. Take ErrorFM for example. They'd have to pay the registrar X-amount of dollars to keep someone from registering ErrorFM.xxx. We'd have to do the same thing with whoaskedyoushow. We're not going to though because the .xxx extension is $200 a year! And honestly, what kind of porn site would 'whoaskedyoushow.xxx' be? I can tell you what it won't be: ours. I can tell you what it might be: select images from our hosts' sextings.
And we end the show with a story about another modified mobility scooter. It was about a year ago we first told you about a plumber who managed to get his Tom Kruse invention Kruse-ing into the fast lane, now an Britain-based 24 year-old has done it too. His is a bit beefier though. It was taken by police after they caught him scootin' along at 60 mph on the thing. He got it back, but not before some strong words from the town's council. It's tough to sound stern though when you're quoted using the word 'whilst' don't you think? Very proper, elegant, and still used in the UK it seems.

Well I'm glad I asked that in the previous sentence. We forgo the new DVD releases because of time, but they are in the Show Links as always. First, we start with a listener E-Mail that does 2 things. First, he offers up his best/worst picks for movies, TV and radio. Then he nominates his choice for our first ever “Clip of the Year”. It worked out pretty well because I planned on playing a “Clip of the Year” and I too, was thinking of the same clip he mentions! You'll hear said bit, in its entirety, on today's show.
From there we get into the bests and worsts of things. As with many of our shows, we run out of time and don't make it through all our primary topics. But we make a pretty decent dent. And since we were all sipping brandy-laced egg nog, it's a miracle we got as far along as we did.
First on the list… movies! Some of our best picks include, THE RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, DRIVE and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. That's not all though. There's plenty more where those came from. One from Jabari wasn't even made this year. I think he was a little confused as to how a year-in-review show works. Or it was the spiked egg nog.
As you might imagine, the ‘worst' list for films in '11 was quite lengthy. Some of them included THE GREEN LANTERN and THE GREEN HORNET. Others brought up, TRANSFORMERS: THE DARK OF THE MOON, TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN and THE SITTER, which by most accounts, could very well be the absolute worst movie of 2011.
To the boob tube we go as we channel surf through the good and bad of televised content, or at least what qualifies these days as network quality programming. On the best list: IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA (this is a given) and HOMELAND. On the worst list (let me take an Ace Ventura-style deep breath here): THE JERSEY SHORE, KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS, TWO AND A HALF MEN, most, if not all reality shows, the entire primetime line up on The CW… and many many more.
A few noteworthy events occurred this year in the world of comic books. Charlie and Jabari agreed DC's BLACKEST NIGHT was good while BRIGHTEST DAY was not.
We end this show and year with a recap of celebrity deaths. We lost folks like comedian Patrice O'Neal, Elizabeth Taylor, Arch West who invented Doritos, Andy Rooney from CBS's 60-MINUTES, Kill Keane, the creator of Family Circus and actor Michael Gough who is probably best known for his role as Alfred on Tim Burton's BATMAN movies. And of course, Steve Jobs died this year. As did singer, Amy Winehouse and Jack LaLanne. He's that buff old dude that sells juicers. Juicing jokes follow quickly on this one. Tune in for that.
The final moments of our year-in-review show reveals Charlie's New Year's resolution. And we want to know yours! It's this week's ‘We Ask You Poll'. And with that, I'll wrap by wishing you all a happy holiday and New Year. We'll be back right off the bat in 2012, Sunday, January 1st LIVE on ErrorFM.com at 8pm/PT.

A fake movie trailer posted on YouTube and then on our Facebook Page by a listener. This trailer is hilarious!

To see the mock-movie trailer for yourself, scroll down to the Show Links.
Just a couple of weeks ago a man named Trent Arsenault received a cease and desist order from the FDA. What could a single man do to warrant such a stern reaction from the federal government? Should federal government be capitalized? These questions need answers. The former has one. Trent is running his own at-home sperm bank. Couples who are troubled with fertility issues are more than welcome to help themselves to Trent's baby batter. The FDA claims he's a quote "tissue manufacturer," and is not abiding by their guidelines and he should undergo more STD tests and lab work to insure his Cupid's toothpaste is safe and clean. But just browse Trent's website and you'll see he's done his homework. He's got test results, family history, sperm bank facts, FAQ's, tons of pictures and more. And the icing on this cake? He doesn't charge! Not even for shipping! So it's not like he's running a scam. How is this any different than a 1-night stand gone awry? We discuss this and you're welcome to interject your thoughts as well. It's this week's 'We Ask You Poll'.
Speaking of cakes and their icing. You may be staying away from them for awhile after hearing our next story. I'm going to warn you now, it's in our 'Jenkem Watch' segment, so what does that tell ya? In Pennsylvania, 3 teen girls were just criminally charged for a prank they pulled way back in March on a fellow student at their high school. It was her birthday, what better gift than a cake? They're tasty, they're sweet, fairly easy to make and inexpensive. They show you care. Well, that is until you smother them in dookie. Not sure what the victim did to deserve this corn cake, but she didn't question it when the friends asked her to try it in front of them. And it seems the girls were able to mask the sewer smell well enough she didn't question that either. Or maybe it's just girl poo doesn't stink? Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
You've probably seen the images by now. A hamburger with a black bun being touted as the "Darth Vador Burger". It's a new promotional bit by a French fast food franchise to celebrate the re-re-release of the STAR WARS films... this time in 3D!!!! You can choose the dark side and go with the black buns, or you can choose the path of a Jedi and enjoy a more traditional looking patty. There's also a 'Darth Maul Burger'. I think its poppy seeds might get stuck in my teeth though. Mike, our resident expert on that galaxy far far away chooses his slab-o-beef. Tune in to hear which one!
As always, Breaking News rounds things up. MC Hammer is being eyed by the IRS. Seems he owes then a shit-ton of back taxes going back to his 1996 bankruptcy filing. He claims he paid those and is even asking the court that he be reimbursed for the legal fees.
With a few minutes to kill we discuss our marketing strategy and merchandising plans on-the-air. That's how we roll. We're ramping up a T-Shirt line. Or at least, we're planning to have a plan to make T-Shirts featuring our hilariously ambiguous show titles. Charlie is heading up our marketing department consisting of... Charlie. He's looking for funny, cartoon-ish illustrations of our episode titles. Something that would work well on a shirt. And he's willing to pay you $50 to do it, if we choose your design. This isn't a contest so much as a Craigslist-like search for artists. If you're good with crayons or other drawing utensils, pick your favorite title and submit your design to Charlie.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1263716/episode-191-le-cordon-poo/Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:52:47 +0000Chasecom MediaI may have spoiled a surprise.

Couples who are troubled with fertility issues are more than welcome to help themselves to Trent's baby batter. The FDA claims he's a quote "tissue manufacturer," and is not abiding by their guidelines and he should undergo more STD tests and lab work to insure his Cupid's toothpaste is safe and clean. But just browse Trent's website and you'll see he's done his homework. He's got test results, family history, sperm bank facts, FAQ's, tons of pictures and more. And the icing on this cake? He doesn't charge! Not even for shipping! So it's not like he's running a scam. How is this any different than a 1-night stand gone awry? We discuss this and you're welcome to interject your thoughts as well. It's this week's 'We Ask You Poll'.
Speaking of cakes and their icing. You may be staying away from them for awhile after hearing our next story. I'm going to warn you now, it's in our 'Jenkem Watch' segment, so what does that tell ya? In Pennsylvania, 3 teen girls were just criminally charged for a prank they pulled way back in March on a fellow student at their high school. It was her birthday, what better gift than a cake? They're tasty, they're sweet, fairly easy to make and inexpensive. They show you care. Well, that is until you smother them in dookie. Not sure what the victim did to deserve this corn cake, but she didn't question it when the friends asked her to try it in front of them. And it seems the girls were able to mask the sewer smell well enough she didn't question that either. Or maybe it's just girl poo doesn't stink? Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
You've probably seen the images by now. A hamburger with a black bun being touted as the "Darth Vador Burger". It's a new promotional bit by a French fast food franchise to celebrate the re-re-release of the STAR WARS films... this time in 3D!!!! You can choose the dark side and go with the black buns, or you can choose the path of a Jedi and enjoy a more traditional looking patty. There's also a 'Darth Maul Burger'. I think its poppy seeds might get stuck in my teeth though. Mike, our resident expert on that galaxy far far away chooses his slab-o-beef. Tune in to hear which one!
As always, Breaking News rounds things up. MC Hammer is being eyed by the IRS. Seems he owes then a shit-ton of back taxes going back to his 1996 bankruptcy filing. He claims he paid those and is even asking the court that he be reimbursed for the legal fees.
With a few minutes to kill we discuss our marketing strategy and merchandising plans on-the-air. That's how we roll. We're ramping up a T-Shirt line. Or at least, we're planning to have a plan to make T-Shirts featuring our hilariously ambiguous show titles. Charlie is heading up our marketing department consisting of... Charlie.

What was once a popular segment on the show doesn't garner the conversation it used to. With only a few states to go, I feel obligated to finish before retiring the bit. This time we're looking at laws in Virginia. The state has some pretty strict guidelines you must abide by when getting' it on. There's only 1 position allowed, you have to do it in the dark and it's only aloud in 1 hole. More odd ordinances where those came from.
'It's The Law' wasn't the only segment where not much was said. At the top of the show we took a moment to recap CES, which by most accounts was pretty ho-hum this year. No major game consoles were unveiled. Most of the flat panels were the same 3D, LED, LCD, or SOB units they've been bugging us to buy for 2 years now and the rest was pointless accessories for the iPad. So, not much to talk about there.
The 'New Releases' would surely have something worth conversating over… nope. Most of this week's DVD's, none of us have heard of. And that's saying a lot, because our combined knowledge of obscure media is quite vast. I couldn't even get the guys to stretch on the subject of Andy Dick while I pulled up poll results I forgot to mark down on my paper. Can't blame them there though… what is there to say about Andy Dick?
We learn that Steven Spielberg will NOT direct Jurassic Park 4. There's not a whole lot to be said there either. The CW is raiding the box full of DC comics for their next TV series. And they've asked the guys that did GREEN LANTERN to develop it. Yeah, because that movie was soooo great right?
No wonder we blast through the rundown with 19-minutes to spare. In our 'Breaking News' segment we introduce you to a man arrested for drug possession who has one of the most ridiculous names ever. His first name is Beezow… and there's plenty more where that came from.
Thank god for YouTube. It's where everyone goes these days to waste time. To kill the nearly 20-minutes of unplanned Ask-ness we do what we do best, remissness.

I pose to the guys this question: Is Paula Deen a hypocrite? Just over a week ago she announced that she has Type-II Diabetes. Wilford Brimley gave her a badge and welcomed her to the club. But there are some crying fowl over a decision Deen made to become the spokeswoman for a Diabetes medication made by Novo Nordisk. And it's a valid point... it's no secret love isn't the only ingredient in Paula's recipes on her shows and in her books. Often times they call for large amounts of butter and sugar. Usually your entire monthly value of each in a single cookie. And she's been cooking this way on her shows and in her books for years! Now all of a sudden, she's hawking insulin? In her defense, she does actually use the medication she'll be pitching and she says a portion of her income from that gig will go to the American Diabetes Association, but is that enough?

Another question asked of the guys: Color-blind casting, is it okay? By that I mean, would it be okay for say a black guy to play a white guy? Or vice versa? We all agreed it is if the character they're playing is fictional (i.e. Samuel L. Jackson playing Nick Fury, who in the comics was white). But what if it's a biopic? Gawker.com made a joke on their website that Jamie Foxx was in the running to play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming film from Martin Scorsese. Tabloids the world over got wind, and as is typical with digital-run news desks these days, nobody bothered to confirm it and ran it front page.

A certain TV series made 'history' last night during our broadcast (central time). THE SIMPSONS aired their 500th episode. Its plot was just like the ho-hum movie they released a few years back. As you might expect, this launches us into our usual quote-fest of Simpson memories followed by the continued mulling of how relevant the show is still.
Then a quote-fest you might not expect... TITANIC. During the Calendar segment, I announce that Billy Zane will celebrate his birthday on Friday. We ramble off a few films he's done including the James Cameron epic, followed by his best lines in it.
Perhaps our biggest story of the night is the ironic events that occurred at the Las Vegas branch of The Heart Attack Grill. For some reason this place just keeps coming up on our show. Perhaps its their morbid sense of humor. Their view on enjoying life and food the way YOU want to. Or maybe it's just the fact that funny shit keeps happening with them. Our chronicle continues with the latest incident in which an actual heart attack is suffered by a "patient" while eating a Triple Bypass Burger. The call for the grills to be turned off for good is once again resonating with health experts and all around stick-in-the-muds. After all, a single burger WILL trigger a heart attack. It's not your lifestyle or years of fat accumulation. No no... it's that single burger you crammed down your pie hole that jammed the cogs of your ticker. Some have gone as far as calling the establishment socially irresponsible. Our take on this view today.
From lots-o-calories to lots-o-money. Or lack there of. Former NBA superstar, Allen Iverson brings us a cautionary tale of what NOT to do with your easily-earned scratch. The ball player once amassed a fortune of over $150-million. Now he can't even pay $800,000 owed to his jeweler. His bank account has been seized and he is as poor as the rest of us. With all this "we are the 1%" talk buzzing the nation, it's infuriating to read about someone so disgustingly rich just pissing away their money. How many times have you read about someone winning the lottery, inheriting a fortune or somehow coming into a huge sum of cash and you said to yourself, "What I could do with that kind of money..." On the other hand, it is his money to lose. I'm sure that's no comfort to him of course. We share our thoughts on this as well.
And it may not be hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars, but a public high school in Cincinnati is offering students $25 gift cards if they have good attendance and stay out of trouble. The school, which has a graduation rate lower than that of the middle class's federal income tax just starting the program and has already seen a 15% improvement in students' attendance. That's great news, but why should schools -- which are more broke than Allen Iverson right now -- have to pay students to show up? Where are their parents? Where are the leather belts? I would go to school with my kid and sit through every class with them if they tried to skip. I would handcuff them to their desk if need be. It all starts at home folks. This is money the district is taking from teachers and other students who are good and do show up... just not on President's Day... we all get that day off.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1304306/episode-196-sidecock/Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:45:24 +0000Chasecom MediaToday we celebrate the birthdays of Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Thanks to the Julian and Gregorian calendars, we're not quite sure when Washington was born. The debate continues... we do know it was sometime in February, likely...With all this talk of history and catching things, I feel it's time to tell you about today's show! A certain TV series made 'history' last night during our broadcast (central time). THE SIMPSONS aired their 500th episode. Its plot was just like the ho-hum movie they released a few years back. As you might expect, this launches us into our usual quote-fest of Simpson memories followed by the continued mulling of how relevant the show is still.
Then a quote-fest you might not expect... TITANIC. During the Calendar segment, I announce that Billy Zane will celebrate his birthday on Friday. We ramble off a few films he's done including the James Cameron epic, followed by his best lines in it.
Perhaps our biggest story of the night is the ironic events that occurred at the Las Vegas branch of The Heart Attack Grill. For some reason this place just keeps coming up on our show. Perhaps its their morbid sense of humor. Their view on enjoying life and food the way YOU want to. Or maybe it's just the fact that funny shit keeps happening with them. Our chronicle continues with the latest incident in which an actual heart attack is suffered by a "patient" while eating a Triple Bypass Burger. The call for the grills to be turned off for good is once again resonating with health experts and all around stick-in-the-muds. After all, a single burger WILL trigger a heart attack. It's not your lifestyle or years of fat accumulation. No no... it's that single burger you crammed down your pie hole that jammed the cogs of your ticker. Some have gone as far as calling the establishment socially irresponsible. Our take on this view today.
From lots-o-calories to lots-o-money. Or lack there of. Former NBA superstar, Allen Iverson brings us a cautionary tale of what NOT to do with your easily-earned scratch. The ball player once amassed a fortune of over $150-million. Now he can't even pay $800,000 owed to his jeweler. His bank account has been seized and he is as poor as the rest of us. With all this "we are the 1%" talk buzzing the nation, it's infuriating to read about someone so disgustingly rich just pissing away their money. How many times have you read about someone winning the lottery, inheriting a fortune or somehow coming into a huge sum of cash and you said to yourself, "What I could do with that kind of money..." On the other hand, it is his money to lose. I'm sure that's no comfort to him of course. We share our thoughts on this as well.
And it may not be hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars, but a public high school in Cincinnati is offering students $25 gift cards if they have good attendance and stay out of trouble. The school, which has a graduation rate lower than that of the middle class's federal income tax just starting the program and has already seen a 15% improvement in students' attendance. That's great news, but why should schools -- which are more broke than Allen Iverson right now -- have to pay students to show up? Where are their parents? Where are the leather belts? I would go to school with my kid...]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-197-ferengi-faceAnyway, that's the ACCESS HOLLYWOOD part of the show. We then switch gears to being ESPN-ish with news that Ben & Jerry's made what some might consider a racial faux-pas when mixing up their newest frozen yogurt flavor to celebrate New York Knicks' player, Jeremey Lin. It was only being sold in the Boston area where Lin went to college. But now everyone knows about it. You'd think after the ESPN "Chink In The Armor" headline debacle of last week, companies would be treading carefully on the 'Lin-sanity' front. Someone at the ice cream giant thought it'd be a good idea to crumble fortune cookies in the celebratory flavor. Out of all the ingredients you can put in yogurt, they chose fortune cookies? Now, in full disclosure, I'm a huge ice cream junkie. Love it! And Ben & Jerry's is my favorite brand out there. So I'm going to defend them to a certain extent on this. I don't think they meant anything by it. They were probably going for that 'good fortune' element rather than, 'he's Asian, lets crumble fortune cookies on top because chow mein would be gross in ice cream.' After all, if you wanna get technical about it, fortune cookies are actually an American invention. Not to mention, Ben and Jerry are two pretty liberal guys and probably didn't have anything to do with it anyway. The flavor was created at a specific scoop shop. But again, looking at the recent pun-filled controversies flooding the web, there should've been a little more care taken when choosing a cookie to crush on top. Why not just do a sweet swirl of honey and a sour swirl of... err uhh, scratch that. Moving on...
The Razzie nominations are out, and some records were set. Mainly by one particular actor. I pose a 'Chase's Challenge' to the guys to see if they can figure out who it is. Dennis does so, right off the bat... he cheated though.
Jonathan Liebsman is likely to take the helm of a new live-action TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. Yep, something else Hollywood couldn't leave alone. We've talked about this film before. News of its production has sprinkled the rumor mill for the last few years and it looks like the stage is finally set. The one constant throughout it all is that Michael Bay's company, Platinum Dunes will produce the movie. If the Technodrome transforms, I'm out!
Poor AT&T... they just can't win. Whether it's a $4-billion purchase of T-Mobile or a pissed off customer in small claims court, there's just no justice for the mobile phone industry. In California, a judge sided with a customer who sued AT&T because his unlimited data plan was being slowed down when he reached just 2 GB. The judge told the miserable area sales manager who lost the staff straw draw and had to represent AT&T in the courtroom that morning that it is unfair for the company to throttle customers' bandwidth while at the same time calling the service 'unlimited'. The guy won over $800! He can put that towards a new iPhone!
If you're a PORTAL player, have we got news for you! Transport yourself down to the local toy or comic shop this summer to pick up your very own replica of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. It won't get you inside a gender of your choosing's locker room or a bank vault. But it'll work as a flash light when the power goes out, or as a damn nice prop in your YouTube fan film.

Finally, a bridge linking Slovakia and Austria is getting named after an action movie star. You'd think, given it's Austria, that our pal Arnold Schwarzenegger would be receiving the honor.

As you've probably noticed, we sometimes like to get warmed up with a few stories out of Tinseltown. First up, news of a sequel to THE MUPPETS film from last year. It was a success and Charlie says it followed the Muppet movie formula, so another feature with Jim Henson's characters is no surprise. After all, the characters are already created, there's a simple template for lazy writers to follow. And the budget is big enough to hire a couple of big names to interact with Kermit and friends. Hollywood is good at taking things already created and recreating them. And by good... I mean bad.
There's another classic getting the reboot treatment. We knew it was coming and it's probably better Dennis wasn't in the studio to hear it. He probably would've slit Jabari's throat (he sits the closest to Dennis). The director of the new ROBOCOP has found his Alex Murphy in actor, Joel Kinnaman. Nothing against the guy, but he looks like he should be posing in a catalog, not a cybernetic cop costume. The director, José Padilha explains that his reimagining of the film will focus on the time between when Murphy got riddled with bullets and when he goes on duty as Robocop. He wants to explore the transition from man to machine. And we want to explore the transition to the next story.
If ever Charles DeLong were to run his own school the way Charles Xavier did in the X-Men comics, he would probably have math problems very similar to those we tell you about on today's show. Here's the deal... a teacher in Washington DC got fired after assigning some math problems to his third grade class he printed out from a home schooling website. Sounds fairly harmless right? Don't forget, this is math class, Charlie-style. The website, homeschooling-paradise.com features a rather unorthodox style of teaching arithmatic known as the 'Singapore Math Method'. The nearest I can tell, it's a style of problem solving that uses real life like situations. The difference here is that the site seems to be attempting to hold the kids' attention by making the problems gross, morbid and just twisted. They are funny as shit... but the parents of the third graders at the Trinidad Charter School didn't think so. Get a load of this question on a third grade worksheet: Brian, a brave member of a SWAT team in California, had a terribly busy week last week. He had to work for 7 whole days. He killed 163 terrorists, 296 murderers and 206 arsonists. How many criminals did he kill on average each day? After solving this one, the teacher would then lead the class in a rendition of "America, Fuck Yeah".

Lastly, breaking news...]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-199-master-of-seguesFirst off is the news of Apple unveiling their new iPad called The New iPad. The biggest improvement on the thing is its Retina display. It's still incredibly overpriced (standard practice for all things Apple), it still has no USB ports and it's horribly uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time. Even Dennis, our resident Apple apologist isn't impressed with the third generation tablet. Two years ago I would've called Dennis our resident 'fan boy' in that sentence. But even he is having a hard time getting on board with some of Apple's recent decisions. Primarily the one to move away from desktop computers. Being someone who comes from broadcasting, Apple confused me with their decision to turn their highly successful Final Cut Pro video editing software into nothing more than a glorified app. They want broadcast editors to start editing with their fingers! On a 10-inch screen! Yeaaahhh... that's not going over well. More of our thoughts on the new... err, I mean The New iPad on this show.
I impress Charlie -- no easy feat I might add -- with my broadcaster segue skills as we transition from the DVD segment, to last week's poll results. As the producer, it's my job to try and smoothly transition us from topic to topic. And on a show where we go from talking about a man with a DIY sperm bank to cakes being frosted with poop, that's no easy task. That's why when I saw that THE KILLING's first season was coming to DVD, I had to put it at the end of the list. It's star, Joel Kinnaman, was the subject of the 'We Ask You Poll'. Perfect! The poll, which asked your opinion of Kinnaman landing the role of Robocop, gave Dennis a chance to offer his thoughts on one of his favorite films getting rebooted since he was absent last week. Find out what other sci-fi travesty with which he compares it.
Fox has confirmed they're canceling their dino-drama TERRA NOVA after just one season. The big budget, Spielberg-produced series about a group of people that travel back in time to the age of dinosaurs to save humanity and its future garnered pretty decent ratings, but the raptors in suits at Fox didn't seem impressed. They'd rather stick with tired, worn out shows like THE SIMPSONS or programs that should've never been created in the first place like the NAPOLEON DYNAMITE cartoon. Because of its respectable following all around the world, Fox says they'll offer TERRA NOVA to other networks before completely pulling the plug. Don't hold your breathe though.
Perhaps they could strike a deal with Netflix since the streaming media company can't seem to do so with cable operators. It was revealed last week that Netflix was trying to partner with cable giants like Comcast and Time Warner to package their service with premium cable tiers. But before they even pulled up chairs to the negotiating table, Comcast shot 'em down. It recently launched its Streampix service on Xfinity. And Dish Network is working on a similar on-demand deal with Blockbuster. Meanwhile, Verizon has struck a deal with Redbox to do their own streaming offerings as well. Looks like nobody wants to play with Netflix. Which is fine, all they gotta do is keep their prices low, continue to grow their titles and for god sake... get 5.1 surround sound working! Then I think they'll be just fine. Especially if they find a way to do even higher quality and faster streams.
Another story of note, IKEA is going to start selling houses. Insert flimsy, missing parts and/or collapsing joke here. But don't rush to judgment just yet. The pre-fabricated houses are actually being designed and built by a company called Ideabox. And, unlike that shaky coffee table held together by three tiny wooden dowels, the homes arrive fully assembled! As you'll hear, the guys are not as forgiving as I am.

Thanks to everyone for listening and showing your support... here's to another 200!]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-201-ae-shell-shockNow, our first story of the show is all true. Ordinarily I wouldn't have included such an easy one on the April Fool's episode, but this could not be ignored. It of course, is the news that Michael Bay is turning the Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles into aliens in his new live-action movie. You've no doubt heard about this already. By all accounts, we really wish this were an April Fool's prank. And so does a good portion of the Internet. Bay made the announcement at a Nickelodeon presentation and the blogosphere, Twitter, Facebook and most other website errupted with hatred and rage. The backlash was so bad, Bay had to make an official announcement on his website. Anytime you have to make an announcement because your target audience hates your script idea before the script is even finished, means you should rethink your idea. But no! Not Michael Bay. He's pushing forward and simply telling everyone to "chill". Meanwhile, Hollywood politics are in full effect as voice actors from the previous films take either the fans' side or Bay's side. Basically, the ones looking to score a voice gig on the project are the ones buttering up Bay.
Once we're warmed up, it's time to really get the foolery going. Keep in mind, one, some or all of these stories may or may not be real. No cheating! News has come down that movie theaters are mad 3D didn't take off the way they thought it would. Awww, you mean most sane people didn't want to cough up $17 to wear a giant pair of plastic glasses that blurs and desaturates the screen? Who'da thunk it? So, their plan is to level off the ticket prices. In other words, lower the price of a 3D ticket and raise the price of the 2D one. They'll meet somewhere in the middle meaning we'll all have to pay even more to see a crappy remake, sequel or comic book adaptation. Orrrrr will we?
Streaming video is apparently growing in popularity and in price. We enjoyed the killer deal from Netflix for far too long... as part of an effort to pay their bills and pay for production of exclusive content, the monthly price for their streaming only service is nearly doubling later this year. Or is it? Yeah it is. Or maybe not.
This next story had the entire Who Asked You? Crew fooled. It was announced this week that a TWINS sequel is in the works. This was the 1988 film in which Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito find out they're long lost brothers and classic 80's comedy ensues.

The wonderful thing about Who Asked You? is that most of our stories from any given episode sound like they could be a joke. That's why our April Fool's show is...Now, our first story of the show is all true. Ordinarily I wouldn't have included such an easy one on the April Fool's episode, but this could not be ignored. It of course, is the news that Michael Bay is turning the Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles into aliens in his new live-action movie. You've no doubt heard about this already. By all accounts, we really wish this were an April Fool's prank. And so does a good portion of the Internet. Bay made the announcement at a Nickelodeon presentation and the blogosphere, Twitter, Facebook and most other website errupted with hatred and rage. The backlash was so bad, Bay had to make an official announcement on his website. Anytime you have to make an announcement because your target audience hates your script idea before the script is even finished, means you should rethink your idea. But no! Not Michael Bay. He's pushing forward and simply telling everyone to "chill". Meanwhile, Hollywood politics are in full effect as voice actors from the previous films take either the fans' side or Bay's side. Basically, the ones looking to score a voice gig on the project are the ones buttering up Bay.
Once we're warmed up, it's time to really get the foolery going. Keep in mind, one, some or all of these stories may or may not be real. No cheating! News has come down that movie theaters are mad 3D didn't take off the way they thought it would. Awww, you mean most sane people didn't want to cough up $17 to wear a giant pair of plastic glasses that blurs and desaturates the screen? Who'da thunk it? So, their plan is to level off the ticket prices. In other words, lower the price of a 3D ticket and raise the price of the 2D one. They'll meet somewhere in the middle meaning we'll all have to pay even more to see a crappy remake, sequel or comic book adaptation. Orrrrr will we?
Streaming video is apparently growing in popularity and in price. We enjoyed the killer deal from Netflix for far too long... as part of an effort to pay their bills and pay for production of exclusive content, the monthly price for their streaming only service is nearly doubling later this year. Or is it? Yeah it is. Or maybe not.

Uwe Boll, the German movie director that many consider the worst in the world is being sued by a producer from one of his latest films. I present a Chase's Challenge to everyone not so much to see if they can guess what he's being sued for but more so just to hear a rapid-fire list of Uwe Boll jokes.
Charlie loses his mind on the next story. It's the subject of Get The Fuck Outta Here, our segment where Joe Pesci does the honors of telling some person, place or thing to do just that. These stories are absurd. After hearing them you literally recite the famous Pesci line involuntarily. The school system in New York is retracting a moronic list of banned words from tests that they pulled out of their asses. Backlash from parents seemed to be brutal and swift. And with good reason. They wanted to remove words like birthday, dinosaurs, Halloween, junk food and more from all standardized tests. They sent the list of fifty words to the various publishers of these tests. Tune in and hear other words and phrases they wanted removed in an ongoing attempt to pussify our nation's youth further than they already have been.
Did you know that Encyclopedia Britannica is still in business? Did you know up until 2010 they were still making physical books? Well now you do. You shoulda looked it up. They announced however, that they are ceasing their print editions in favor of digital interactive content through their website and apps. Apparently the free Wikipedia has caught up to them. Although you'll still have to pay to access a lot of Britannica's content, at least you know what you're reading is true and not written by some vindictive contributor that Wikipedia just hasn't caught yet.

This cues our second chunk of fillah where we think back to the last time we watched MTV. For me, it was THE REAL WORLD: NEW ORLEANS. Immediately, Dennis remembers the guy on that season that sang that stupid song, "Come And Be My Baby Tonight". To YouTube we go for that and a rather uninteresting clip of a fight between him and some other chick in the house.
In Breaking News we have a story involving a horrid injury during a couple's spat that'll send a chill down any man's spine. Followed by more filler from the chat room about another couple's spat resulting in possible cannibalism.

Something else made in America... THE SIMPSONS. The show's creator, Matt Groening, finally gave away the location of his Springfield. He told Smithsonian Magazine it's based on the Springfield he lived near in Oregon. Everyone in the room is in agreement that this little secret DID NOT need to be revealed.

Students at Lehigh University were able to calculate the price tag for just the steel needed for a moon-sized space vessel and it is NOT cheap. And since we've got just as many STAR TREK fans (including myself) I looked into the cost of the Enterprise. I've wondered for a long time what it would take to build the NCC-1701, and I'll have to keep wondering as there is no definitive total yet. Someone who majors in finances should sit down and come up with a figure. The closest I could find is what it might cost for Captain Kirk's original mission. That ain't cheap either. And if tax payers were footing the bill, we'd all be putting in around $35,000. Tune in for the astronomical price tags on these astronomical vehicles.
If you're like me, when watching the destruction of a major metropolitan area during the climactic scene of any given blockbuster feature, you may ponder random thoughts of the paper work involved after the dust settles. How do you explain to your boss an alien picked up the taxi you were driving and threw it down the street? Or, Iron Man punched straight through your office building while punching a slobbering creature in the face... do you show up for work the next day? There's nothing left of your desk, or anyone else's. These are the things I briefly consider during movies. And thanks to The Hollywood Reporter and the Kinetic Analysis Corporation, we now know what the bill is for the battle seen at the end of THE AVENGERS. It too is out of this world. But the real question is who would pay for it? New York tax payers? US tax payers? FIMA? It's anyone's guess. Good thing it's not real.
We do know one thing, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't be on the hook since it's a government agency. Or is it? This lack of clarification led our real-life US government to back out of participating in the film. Ordinarily Uncle Sam has no problem providing jets, personnel and consultation to Hollywood when a scene calls for it. I bet Michael Bay is super chummy with the guys that take video of the Pentagon. But the ambiguous nature of S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to have frightened the powers in Washington. I wonder why?
And we're not done with THE AVENGERS just yet. Change.org is once again making our radar as a stick-in-the-mud has created a petition demanding an apology from Marvel over the adoption joke Thor makes during the movie. The Who Asked You? Crew found the joke funny and not at all offensive; but none of us are adopted, right? WRONG! Dennis is adopted and he wasn't bothered by the joke at all. The petitioner believes the joke in which Black Widow points out Loki killed eighty people in two days and Thor, his brother, simply replies, "He's adopted," makes it sound as though all adopted children turn out bad. I didn't interpret the joke that way at all. I saw it as simply Thor pointing out that 'hey, we're not related. Don't put that on my blood line.'

With all this money talk, we couldn't leave out the $2-million lawsuit filed against actor, John Travolta by two different male masseurs.

Most of this episode is TV/movie news. Every so often we like to get back to our roots and focus on such things. This typically happens when there's enough stories within that genre to get us fired up. For example, Cartoon Network made a few announcements last week regarding their programming. They're bringing back a fan favorite to Adult Swim... Toonami! It returns this Saturday. And THE BOONDOCKS will return for a fourth season. No official date is set. I do hope though that it's better than season three. And even more news from the Turner-owned network; they've greenlit a HAROLD & KUMAR animated series featuring the voices of the actors from the films.
We also talk about, somewhat briefly, the return of the 'movie' movie guys, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. They're working on a spoof of THE HUNGER GAMES. Like their other masterpieces... well, pieces of something anyway... it'll spoof a number of current blockbuster films.
And Frank Miller will have another giant-ass royalty check rolling in before too long as his SIN CITY prequel, SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will receive the movie treatment. It's do out late 2013. Mickey Rourke and Jessica Alba are set to reprise their roles. Robert Rodriguez will direct.
And with all this TV and movie talk, we should warn you about the new FBI warnings on all new DVDs and Blu-rays. They started rolling out the un-skippable screens last week. Included in the new warnings are a badge from Homeland Security and the seal from some long-winded center that apparently keeps track of piracy on the tax payer's dime. Oh yeah, and they also suggest a website you can visit that explains why downloading movies illegally can harm the entire economy, not just Hollywood... yeah, we'll all check that site out straight away.
We finish up the show with news of a guy stabbing his computer with a Samurai sword, but more importantly, Hitler's medical records. It seems his six physicians were interrogated back in the mid 1940's regarding the Nazi leader's health. The documents were recently auctioned off and reveal why he was so angry. He suffered from a laundry list of ailments including the early stages of Parkinson's and uncontrollable flatulence. Must've been all that Bratwurst. It's no secret Hitler was a piece of shit, so why not make fun of his sinus condition they treated with a cocaine hit.

Most of this episode is TV/movie news. Every so often we like to get back to our roots and focus on such things. This typically happens when there's enough stories within that genre to get us fired up. For example, Cartoon Network made a few announcements last week regarding their programming. They're bringing back a fan favorite to Adult Swim... Toonami! It returns this Saturday. And THE BOONDOCKS will return for a fourth season. No official date is set. I do hope though that it's better than season three. And even more news from the Turner-owned network; they've greenlit a HAROLD & KUMAR animated series featuring the voices of the actors from the films.
We also talk about, somewhat briefly, the return of the 'movie' movie guys, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. They're working on a spoof of THE HUNGER GAMES. Like their other masterpieces... well, pieces of something anyway... it'll spoof a number of current blockbuster films.
And Frank Miller will have another giant-ass royalty check rolling in before too long as his SIN CITY prequel, SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will receive the movie treatment. It's do out late 2013. Mickey Rourke and Jessica Alba are set to reprise their roles. Robert Rodriguez will direct.
And with all this TV and movie talk, we should warn you about the new FBI warnings on all new DVDs and Blu-rays. They started rolling out the un-skippable screens last week. Included in the new warnings are a badge from Homeland Security and the seal from some long-winded center that apparently keeps track of piracy on the tax payer's dime. Oh yeah, and they also suggest a website you can visit that explains why downloading movies illegally can harm the entire economy, not just Hollywood... yeah, we'll all check that site out straight away.
We finish up the show with news of a guy stabbing his computer with a Samurai sword, but more importantly, Hitler's medical records. It seems his six physicians were interrogated back in the mid 1940's regarding the Nazi leader's health. The documents were recently auctioned off and reveal why he was so angry. He suffered from a laundry list of ailments including the early stages of Parkinson's and uncontrollable flatulence. Must've been all that Bratwurst. It's no secret Hitler was a piece of shit, so why not make fun of his sinus condition they treated with a cocaine hit. Hey that rhymed!]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-208-peni-with-meat-sauceFor the first time in our history, Charlie wore shorts to the program. He had just come from an LGBT pool party at the Luxor and was introduced to a rather revealing type of swimwear. I'll let him explain it. Charlie went with his friend Will, who's sat in on the show before. He's the musician known as wonkknow. Although straight, Charlie said he had a really good time. He added everyone was really nice... and in shape.
Then we're off to Colorado where a white second grade student was assigned a project on Martin Luther King Jr. and decided to dress up as the civil rights leader. The problem... he wore black face. A staff member at the school was offended and complained and the boy was asked to leave. Both he and his parents couldn't understand why. The school kept saying students were also offended, but the complaint doesn't mention them. Just that staffer. This is a tough one. Clearly the boy didn't mean any disrespect. He wanted to dress up for the assignment and his parents just wanted him to get a good grade. Should they have known better? Being a small child, does he need to know the significance of black face? Should the teacher have known better than to assign this to him? Was it appropriate under these cercumstances? There are a shit ton of questions here. We'd love your opinion on the matter as well. Cast your vote on the We Ask You Poll and send us an E-Mail with your thoughts for next week's show.
For those who have an active lifestyle at night, you may wanna hear this next story. A new app designed to help you find an age and gender appropriate bar is being tested out in San Francisco. The watering hole installs a camera that takes your picture as you enter the door. It uses sophisticated software algorithms known as 'biometrics' to determine your gender and age just by measuring different distances on your face. It then beams that data to any smartphone with the app installed. You can then look and see if your favorite bar is full of dudes or has just the right balance of sexes and whether or not the majority of them are your age. Accusations of privacy violations are already flying. The makers say no personal data is stored. But, this is just the beginning. With facial recognition software, this could quickly change.
Finally, we do a little multi-cultural dining at the Who Asked You? Cafe. Starting off in Naples, Italy where police there believe an underground coffin-theft ring is in the works. Pizzerias are apparently buying dug up wooden coffins and using them to fuel their pizza ovens. Now, if you've ever had wood fired pizza, you know it's damn tasty. But pizza cooked on moldy wood with the scent of rotting corpse on it?
I'd rather eat that I suppose than this next dish. To Tokyo, Japan we go were a popular chef there who suffers from gender identity issues not only had his package removed, but he also cooked it and served it to five crazy fucking wackos who paid him $250 a plate! We were once told by comedian, Clayton Fletcher that we talk about dicks a lot... this conversation is no exception. If you're curious about this (the story, not the actual taste of cooked human penis) you can read about it and see pictures of the dish in the Show Links.

Mike is back in town, but absent from the show since his flight was landing just as we were going on-air. In fact, he calls us during the show. We surmise he needed a ride from the airport and poke a little fun at him. Warming up for his return I suppose. Jabari is still MIA, a few more weeks and he should hopefully be back. Sitting in is another friend of Charlie's. Her name is Dee.
There are a ton of uses for a spork. You'll hear the 167th during the new releases segment courtesy of Dee. It involves that boring-ass show CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
Then it's onto news that Arsenio Hall will likely be returning to late-night TV in the near future. Nothing official yet, but he's in negotiations with CBS to do another syndicated talk show. We're wondering if you'll be tuning in to watch? Vote on the We Ask You Poll and tell us.
And then there's some gay comic news. I'm not using the word in a derogatory fashion... it's literally gay news. Marvel has a gay wedding coming up in a June issue of one of their X-Men comics and DC announced just in the past week that Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern from the 1940s will be outed this month in the "new 52" series of comics DC hopes will reinvigorate interest in their older heroes. Of course, the conservative Christian stick-in-the-muds are complaining that comics are no place to promote gay lifestyles. Publishers are just trying to reflect current times and say a gay comic character is not going to turn a reader homosexual so these bitches should just stop bitching.
We also bring you another installment of It's The Law. It's been awhile, we're down to less than ten states. Georgia is this week's pick. They've got so many dumb laws, just like Texas, we're breaking it up into two parts; maybe three. After all, we only made it to cities that start with 'C'.
And we grade a story out of Phoenix, Arizona where an elementary school teacher enraged a mother after giving her daughter a "Catastrophe Award" for the most excuses as to why her homework was never done. The mother wants disciplinary action taken against the third grade teacher. Clearly the mom should stop spending time arguing with her kid's teacher and more time making sure her 8 year-old is doing her damned homework!

John and Sheena attended, but due to an appointment John had with the Clark County courthouse (i.e. jury duty) they elected to skip the final day and instead, provide us with their account of the blazing music and light-filled party. If you're not a fan of dub step, you might not enjoy EDC as much as you might think as John explains on today's show.
I went shoe shopping, as I said I would in last week's show notes. And I noticed something about the shoe selections these days. I share that and brag a little about the ones I did pick up finally. They're DC Shoes. Yeah, I know, skater shoes... but I have a very logical, if not frugal reason why I wear them.
Believe it or not, there are actual news events for us to discuss. You wouldn't know it since it takes about 30-minutes before we start in on them; but they are there. First up, a recap of E3! If there's really anything to recap... I'm lookin' at you Nintendo. We could spend hours going over the expo with a fine-toothed comb, but we only got one. So we focus on the big three, or rather two-and-a-half. Nintendo left attendees incredibly underwhelmed... again... with an hour long presentation on a game that's been out for over a year. Then with the unimpressive and quite obvious announcement that they've tweaked the Wii U so that it'll support two of those tablet gamepad controller deals. They STILL didn't announce a price for the damn thing OR a release date. We do know it's coming this winter and we do know that Nintendo needs help badly.
Meanwhile, Microsoft didn't announce a new Xbox — which those of us with common sense knew they wouldn't — but instead showed off some new games, features and an app to improve the current user experience on the 360. The app is called SmartGlass and it'll allow you to access extra content on your mobile device that relates to what's going on on your Xbox at the same time. It may even offer some sort of control functionality from your phone or tablet as well.
And Sony didn't have a ton of wow factor either. They showcased some new PS3 games and offered up a new game peripheral called Wonderbook that seems to be aimed at the younger crowd. It allows them to basically have an interactive story time with their television.
A nonprofit called Little People of America is ticked off over the casting choices made by Universal Studios in the new SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN film. Full sized actors were chosen to portray the seven dwarfs. I don't remember a fuss like this being made over THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Many of the actors chosen to play hobbits and the dwarf, Gimli in that trilogy were not little people. They were digitally manipulated to look small as well. Nevertheless, the organization wants Hollywood to try harder at finding dwarf actors to play these 'small' parts. More puns where that came from.
We wrap with Breaking News from the east coast where a pastor named Dollar gets arrested for choking his 15 year-old daughter.

Apple unveiled their new addition to the MacBook Pro line up during the WWDC conference last week. The machine wreaks of typical Apple. New connectors, impossible to upgrade, functionality sacrificed for aesthetics... oh, and as usual, horribly overpriced. They touted its new Retina display that actually doesn't display at the Retina resolution with most applications. They changed the power port so your old AC supplies won't work as back ups. They got rid of the Firewire ports, so if you want to use your Firewire devices you'll have to buy an adapter. There's also no ethernet port so if you want to hard wire your computer to the Internet, you'll have to buy an adapter. You also can't upgrade anything in it or conduct any simple repairs to it yourself. Basically, if you buy one you'll want to max out all the components at the time of purchase. That'll set you back nearly $4,000 when you throw in AppleCare (because remember, you can't repair it yourself. So AppleCare is pretty much a must) and when you add up all the stupid overpriced adapters you'll need to make it work with your existing devices. There's more to be said on the show.
Next is Madonna. Evita's 15th Anniversary Edition DVD is coming out this week. This spawns a conversation about her; the good, bad and ugly moments of her career all led by the recent incident in which she flashed her old-ass boob unnecessarily to a bunch of concertgoers. No wardrobe malfunction here... just one of judgement.
And now Munsters. CNN ticked a bit of news that had me rushing to my laptop for details. THE MUNSTERS reboot is well on its way to pilot. NBC could be picking it up mid-season. Herman, Lily and Grandpa have all been cast and the show is getting renamed to accommodate its new one-hour dramedy format. My god... NBC... I don't know what to say.

Costly, time consuming and delicate research on the most important and vital subjects that could ultimately better mankind. Take for instance two studies on beer and porn. The first looks at what scientists are calling a "miracle molecule" found in beer and milk. The molecule, they claim, could reduce your chances of obesity. Did you get that? Drinking beer and milk won't make you fat... nevermind the beer belly effect. Apparently the molecule is too finite in milk to measure and it's hard to reproduce. Scientists aren't even sure how much of it you'd need to consume to benefit from it. So buy some 12-packs of brew and some cartons of milk and start chugging. Let us know how it goes.
The other study involves porn and its effects on one's state of mind. A new survey has found that watching porn could make you depressed. You'll hear the reasons why when you tune in.

The company, struggling to catch up to Apple when it comes to innovative, cool products that sell like crazy, unveiled their own tablet last week called the Surface. It's the name originally signed to that big-ass table they showed off some years ago that was meant to be a touch surface computer where you could share photos, videos or if at a restaurant, place your order digitally. Needless to say, the Surface table never really took off, so MS put it into a a tablet slightly larger than the iPad. To their embarrassment, the thing crashed during the presentation and Steve Jobs ghost fell from the rafters from laughing so hard. I'm rootin' for Microsoft, but it's really hard to take them seriously when something like this happens. Not to mention, I'm not at all sold on Windows 8 yet.
Over at Adidas, something 'fetter' is going on as well. It seems a new shoe inspired by the classic, My Pet Monster toy has sparked some debate. The shoes, like the monster, have bright orange shackles meant to cuff your legs while you wear them. A bunch of people liked them and a bunch of people cried 'slavery.' First off, the shoes are ugly, they obviously aren't something most people would wear daily. Maybe to a costume party? And second, where do we draw the line on what reminds us of slavery? A shoe can't have a shackle, so then why are scenes of people in shackles aloud on TV and in movies without an uproar? Why are whips sold. What about parents who name their child Tobey? I know this may seem ridiculous, but the question here is what qualifies as 'too far' and what doesn't?
Things certainly aren't getting 'better' for Best Buy. With declining sales, lost revenue, tons of closed stores and layoffs, the company's founder and its CEO have both stepped down. The new interim boss says changes are coming. They don't include the obvious solutions which are lower prices and bigger selection (which has gotten awful in the past few years, by the way)... no no, his solution will probably make things 'worse' there.

Over at Adidas, something 'fetter' is going on as well. It seems a new shoe inspired by the classic, My Pet Monster toy has sparked some debate. The shoes, like the monster, have bright orange shackles meant to cuff your legs while you wear them. A bunch of people liked them and a bunch of people cried 'slavery.' First off, the shoes are ugly, they obviously aren't something most people would wear daily. Maybe to a costume party? And second, where do we draw the line on what reminds us of slavery? A shoe can't have a shackle, so then why are scenes of people in shackles aloud on TV and in movies without an uproar? Why are whips sold. What about parents who name their child Tobey? I know this may seem ridiculous, but the question here is what qualifies as 'too far' and what doesn't?
Things certainly aren't getting 'better' for Best Buy. With declining sales, lost revenue, tons of closed stores and layoffs, the company's founder and its CEO have both stepped down. The new interim boss says changes are coming. They don't include the obvious solutions which are lower prices and bigger selection (which has gotten awful in the past few years, by the way)... no no, his solution will probably make things 'worse' there.
We wrap with the second half of Georgia's It's The Law. You'll learn why you can't shout, "Oh, boy!" in Jonesboro and about a common sense approach to flooring requirements in adult stores. You 'better' not miss this show!]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-213-whats-goodFirst, 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?

This is probably a good thing as it kept us from blurting out any spoilers, which we have done in the past on other movies. Four out of five of us recommend it for sure. Can you guess who doesn't? Everyone is a critic these days because everyone can have a blog... or a podcast for that matter. Sometimes it seems people get a little obnoxious with it. Just ask the staff over at RottenTomatoes.com, where they had to shut off commenting for the first time in their site's history because they couldn't keep up with moderating the flood of negative attacks from fanboys onto those who had even the slightest critical comment about the new Batman. Hope they don't listen to our show.
After the Calendar and New Releases we dive back into comics and movies with the news that CHRONICLE director, Josh Trank will helm a reboot of FANTASTIC 4. Giving young directors these huge projects when they have relatively little experience in big budget movie production seems to be a growing trend. It did pay off for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and THE AVENGERS. So we'll see if Sue, Richard, Johnny and Ben can make a fantastic return after the rather lukewarm reception both previous films got from fans. I personally enjoyed both. But that's just me... and we're not on RottenTomatoes, so I can say that without fear of digital persecution. Plus, I AM the staff here at Who Asked You?. If someone leaves a comment I don't like, I can delete it and ban them. Our listeners are all cool though and entitled to their opinion. I wouldn't do that. Maybe.
Then it's onto the rather surprising news that Fred Willard, the actor best known for his role in ANCHORMAN as the station manager, Ed Harken, was arrested for allegedly playing with himself in an adult movie theater. During a surprise inspection by police, Willard was apparently discovered with his little Willard hanging out. He says it was just a misunderstanding and that things are being cleared up with the police now. Honestly though, is this that big of a deal? I enjoy Fred's work. He's funny. I don't think any less of him because of this. Every guy spanks it. If they say they don't, they're lying, or they're in a weird cult. Paul Reubens got busted for this very same thing and it didn't harm those of us who watched Pee-Wee Herman. Plus, Fred's 78 years-old! Good for him for still being able to get it up!
An actor may not have anonymity in a XXX theater, but they certainly do now on YouTube. It's parent company, Google has announced a new feature on the site that lets you automatically blur out the faces of everyone in your videos. For now, it is applied to all faces, you can't select specific people to censor. And the company warns the facial detection system is not perfect. It's still new, so there may be moments where the blur doesn't work and somebody could be revealed. So don't rob a bank and record it with your phone thinking you can blur your face when you post it. Now it's my hope nobody is that dumb that they'll rob a bank and put it on YouTube, but we at Who Asked You? do have a feeling that this functionality on the video sharing site will encourage some bad/stupid behavior. It's already pretty crazy on there now... somebody is going to die doing something they shouldn't, thinking it'll be fine because their face will look like they're on an episode of COPS.
Everything above pales in comparison to this next story. The Bubonic Plague is back! Well, at least one poor guy in Oregon was 'plagued' with it after being bitten by his family's adopted cat. Unfortunately, when antibiotics failed, the diagnosis of Black Death came too late. He'd already suffered the gross side effects of the illness. He'll be okay, but his fingers and parts of his hands will have to be amputated due to the gangrenous effects the bacteria had on his flesh. There are pictures of him in the Show Links. If you're squeamish, I wouldn't click it. But if you're curious about an infection that wiped out 25-million Europeans in the 1300s, be our guest. You'll hear our reactions to the photos on today's show. And wait until you hear the cat's name!

It'll star Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the title character. Now although this could be considered a reboot of sorts, at least the network isn't going the typical douche route and setting the story in modern times. This show will take place in Victorian London. The problem though is being on network television, this is going to be pretty tame compared to other vampire shows like TRUE BLOOD.

Over at ABC, Marvel is willing to go pretty far to cash in on THE AVENGERS fame. They're in discussions to possibly produce a TV series based within the universe set up in the film. The show however, would not necessarily involve any of the Avengers characters. Sounds fantastic already.

However, looking at the guidelines for getting the service on Google's website, they're making those who want one-gigabit per second speed jump through hoops to get it. You'll hear the details of the plans on the show, but it'll basically involve residents in KC having to talk to their neighbors... at least fifty of them!
Tax talk inspired this week's show title. You have to wonder if, with all the shit that went down in Gotham, how would Bane handle taxes? Or Congress? Or in another of our fantasy scenarios, the CEO of General Motors? Our lovely representatives in DC are in the midst of overruling the US Supreme Court by passing a law that would require online retailers to collect sales tax no matter what. Currently, it's optional; and many of us enjoy tax-free online shopping from various e-tailers. But that's most likely about to change. States are strapped for cash and they want sales tax charged on your Amazon and eBay purchases. As well as every other site known to man.
And if that's not bad enough, plans are in the works all around the country to possibly tax us while we drive. A study is being considered in San Francisco and a pilot program is starting in Oregon which will look at the feasability of taxing people based on how many miles they drive. In the Bay area, it'd be about ten cents per mile. That works out to an average of about $1,300 a year depending on how much you drive around. Declining revenue from gas taxes is apparently to blame. We were all told to buy more fuel efficient cars and now that we have, we're being taxed for it.
After an enraging story like that we need to lighten the mood with some ridiculous Breaking News. In this week's bit we tell you about a new kind of aisle that may be popping up at a grocery store near you.

We talked a lot about taxes last week too. But, the absurdity that is the United States Tax Code fuels a good, continuous, ribbing from the crew.
So, after talking about what Phelps and friends will dole out for their hard work, we transition into what Chili's suggests we dole out for good waiters. It seems 'tipping' is turning more and more into 'taxing' these days. Gratuity conversations have paid out a number of times on this show because, like taxes, it's getting ridiculous! On a recent visit to Chili's we discovered they are now calculating the tip for you on your receipt. You're not obligated to pay the amount, but they've taken it upon themselves to do the math for you assuming your server deserves it. Unfortunately for them, the suggested tip they calculated was lower than what I was planning to leave. It's a bit insulting to be told what you should leave your waiter. What if he or she blew? What if they were really awesome? Americans are lazy enough, it won't hurt us to do a little arithmetic in our heads. I could've called this episode any number of stupid titles, "Tip-Tax-Toe" or "Taxing Situation" or "Tip Over," but in the end I decided to squarely plant blame on Chili's.
The meat of the show starts off with the 2012 Azeroth census. It finds there are about a million less wizards and other whimsical creatures roaming World of Warcraft. The game's makers don't seem too concerned though. They say most of them will probably be back with the next expansion release, or when they get bored with Diablo III.
In other WoW news, the movie is still moving forward. It's got a new screenwriter. Sam Raimi is out as director and a search is on for someone else.
We IMDb Denzel Washington and breakdown the good and bad of his career with the announcement that he'll be starring in a new feature film version of the 80s series THE EQUALIZER.
And we breakdown the results to a study about air travel. They aren't surprising. It looked at what annoys passengers the most on an airplane. Farts and B.O. make the list, as well as the oft being seated next to a fat person. But neither of those are the number-one gripe. Tune-in to hear the top-five.
Finally, there are a number of things we'd drive over with a monster truck or giant tractor. In Vermont, a farmer decided he'd get back at police for a drug possession arrest by running over their fleet of cop cars. Once again, we're back on the subject of taxes. It's our tax dollars, or in this case, the residents of Montpelier, Vermont's tax dollars, that paid for those cars. In the end, it's just more money out of their's and the farmer's pockets. That's the way I see it anyway. The fellas have a slightly different take. What would you crush with a tractor if given the chance? You'll hear our hit list. It's just the 'tip' of the iceberg.

Let me back up though for a moment. Perhaps you saw this on the news as well, but US Olympic athletes are taxed on the medals and prize money they win while repping our country in...At this point you're probably thinking, "Am I listening to Who Asked You? or Meet The Press?" We talked a lot about taxes last week too. But, the absurdity that is the United States Tax Code fuels a good, continuous, ribbing from the crew.
So, after talking about what Phelps and friends will dole out for their hard work, we transition into what Chili's suggests we dole out for good waiters. It seems 'tipping' is turning more and more into 'taxing' these days. Gratuity conversations have paid out a number of times on this show because, like taxes, it's getting ridiculous! On a recent visit to Chili's we discovered they are now calculating the tip for you on your receipt. You're not obligated to pay the amount, but they've taken it upon themselves to do the math for you assuming your server deserves it. Unfortunately for them, the suggested tip they calculated was lower than what I was planning to leave. It's a bit insulting to be told what you should leave your waiter. What if he or she blew? What if they were really awesome? Americans are lazy enough, it won't hurt us to do a little arithmetic in our heads. I could've called this episode any number of stupid titles, "Tip-Tax-Toe" or "Taxing Situation" or "Tip Over," but in the end I decided to squarely plant blame on Chili's.
The meat of the show starts off with the 2012 Azeroth census. It finds there are about a million less wizards and other whimsical creatures roaming World of Warcraft. The game's makers don't seem too concerned though. They say most of them will probably be back with the next expansion release, or when they get bored with Diablo III.
In other WoW news, the movie is still moving forward. It's got a new screenwriter. Sam Raimi is out as director and a search is on for someone else.
We IMDb Denzel Washington and breakdown the good and bad of his career with the announcement that he'll be starring in a new feature film version of the 80s series THE EQUALIZER.
And we breakdown the results to a study about air travel. They aren't surprising. It looked at what annoys passengers the most on an airplane. Farts and B.O. make the list, as well as the oft being seated next to a fat person. But neither of those are the number-one gripe. Tune-in to hear the top-five.
Finally, there are a number of things we'd drive over with a monster truck or giant tractor. In Vermont, a farmer decided he'd get back at police for a drug possession arrest by running over their fleet of cop cars. Once again, we're back on the subject of taxes. It's our tax dollars, or in this case, the residents of Montpelier, Vermont's tax dollars, that paid for those cars. In the end, it's just more money out of their's and the farmer's pockets. That's the way I see it anyway. The fellas have a slightly different take. What would you crush with a tractor if given the chance? You'll hear our hit list. It's just the 'tip' of the iceberg. Damn it, that shoulda been the title!

We were all pleased with the film. Less story, more gratuitous violence including fight scenes you could actually follow and tons of self-aware jokes from the cast that came off campy and funny. Along with our review of the second film comes news that the third is already in the works. If all goes as planned, we'll see the cast return as well as a few awesome additions and one that isn't so awesome.
A listener E-Mail brings us a tale from right here in our neck of the woods. A new anime convention opening this week made a rather presumptuous proposition to a famous cosplayer. They asked her to come to the show in her costumes... and strip! For $200 and snacks. Not only is she NOT a stripper and has no interest in becoming one, but she says she'd have to alter her costumes to be able to easily strip them off, plus the pay is pretty lousy for the amount of work they want her to do and the apparent contract they E-Mailed her was sloppy and unprofessional. We strip down the details of this convention-catastrophe.
Alright, that pedo-joke comes in during our first big story of the show. A man on a Quantas flight in Australia was forced to move to another seat after the airline plopped him next to an unaccompanied minor; a violation of their policy. Apparently some airlines don't like seating adult men next to children who are flying alone. A safe precaution says the airline. A discriminatory one says the passenger, a registered nurse by the way. He's not alone. It happened to a firefighter as well back in April on another airline. And who's to say the woman he switched seats with wasn't a kiddie fiddler? By the way, that's what he called a pedophile and it was almost this week's show title. How would Quantas have explained that one? We discuss this policy. And make offensive jokes as usual.
Then it's time to catch up on some news we missed last week while we were off for Mike's birthday. First, MORTAL KOMBAT: LEGACY is returning for a season 2! This time, it takes place at the actual tournament!
We learn that Joss Whedon will be back to write and direct another Avengers film. This is good news. Getting ahead of ourselves, Dennis fears for a third movie after being let down by THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. If it's like most trilogies, the third — if made — could be the weakest even if Joss Whedon does it too. With the few minutes we devote to it, we're unable to think of an action film trilogy where all three were equally good or damn close. This is our challenge to you. If you can think of the ultimate trifecta-perfecta of cinema, drop us an E-Mail and state your case. We'd love to hear from ya!
While on the subject of three-quels. The third adventure of BILL AND TED is still in the works. The creators of the franchise are still working on the script and GALAXY QUEST director, Dean Parisot will helm the project.
Another iconic 80s character will be coming to the big screen. We watch Mike's face light up with delight that ALF will be turned into a feature-length film. Gordon Shumway (no relation to me) will be voiced by the same guy who did it on the TV show, Paul Fusco. He also created the character. Along with the creator of the sitcom and the producer of that terrible SMURFS movie, they'll reinvent the cat-craving furry little alien from planet Melmac.
We've got dildos in this week's Breaking News. About 10,000 of them. In an effort to promote the use of sex toys, Trojan handed out free ones from a fake hot dog cart in New York City recently. Somehow this gets us onto the topic of Oprah and what her show would've been like if she'd handed out plastic dicks instead of new cars to her audience... Jabari
And we stay in NYC and on the subject of sex with the "Who's Your Daddy?" van. A mobile paternity testing service. The Maury show had nothing to do with this! The RV, which also provides drug tests, is proving popular. It gets flagged down and has even reunited a father with his long lost daughter.
Talking about how awesome 80s action movie stars are, anime and stripping, pedophilia jokes, movie news, and dildos? we're back baby!!!]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1497229/episode-218-the-knee-high-club/Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:57:10 +0000Chasecom MediaIt's the strawberry jam on the butter knife all over again.

As you know we've developed this morbid curiosity with the bland-band from Canada. We poke a little fun at the engagement and even give you an exclusive look into what their wedding night might sound like.
Another famous Who Asked You? sidetrack takes place during the Calendar segment. This one is all me though. I ate a cookie. A special cookie for the first time and recount my experience. Tune-in for the details.
The legion of doom... err, I mean, the Parents Television Council is at it again. Now they're complaining about all the censored nudity on TV. You read that correctly... they're complaining about the CENSORED nudity. Man, you just can't win with them! The problem now is they don't like all the scripted shows using 'implied' nudity. They claim the number of blurred birthday suits has jumped dramatically this season. We share a few choice words on the matter.
And speaking of choice words. Merriam-Webster has released their list of new words for the dictionary this year. Many of them are two words, so it's a little strange. It's like the dictionary has stock holders that need to be appeased. So they just keep making shit up to spike their stock price. Is Merriam-Webster a publicly traded company? Anyway, some of the new words include 'cloud computing' and 'man cave.' You'll hear the rest on today's show.
While the dictionary folks are making up words, eBay is banning the sale and auction of made up items. More precisely, metaphysical products. They include things like spells, voodoo dolls, potions, curses, etc. The intangible is becoming increasingly hard for the auction site to manage. Apparently there are a lot of complaints when it comes to the authenticity of these items. Whudda thunk? That mystical crystal you bought didn't conjure up a horny vampire ghost to fuck you 'til you pass out? What to do?!?! I know... don't buy the bullshit in the first place. Which brings us to the question, should this stuff be banned from eBay? There are people out there... crazy people... who do genuinely believe in this stuff, should they be deprived? Perhaps if they're dumb enough to buy it, they deserve to lose their money. And eBay will still get their commission. Maybe a better alternative to an all-out ban might be a huge disclaimer posted at the top of every single auction under the metaphysical category. We saw this happen before. One instance was with used undergarments. They had to put a stop to selling smelly old briefs and bras to horny old goats because too many people weren't getting what was expected. I missed out on that money making venture. I would've gladly sold my dirty underwear for a $100 a pop. Would've saved me from having to do a ton of laundry.
I doubt they would've fetched as much as Elvis' undies. That is just one of the stories in this week's Jenkem Watch. Before that though we gotta tell you about the latest technological advancement out of Japan... a shit-powered motorbike. As part of a campaign for awareness of clean-burning fuels, a toilet manufacturer there has created a motorcycle that runs off of processed livestock waste. Take a look at the picture and you'll see the seat is made to look like a toilet. The company stresses though, it's just for looks! Don't use this commode on the road. The day may come though when we can kill two birds with one... turd. If you catch my drift.

They've got an exclusive TV deal with ABC. Gee, I wonder how that worked out. Marvel is owned by Disney... ABC is owned by Disney too... hmmm. They're taking advantage of THE AVENGERS popularity and have greenlit a pilot series called S.H.I.E.L.D. Can you guess what it'll be about?
Meanwhile, Sam Raimi is breathing a sigh of relief as he's won a court battle to block a sequel to EVIL DEAD that would surely interfere with the one he just finished producing. The company that was trying to make the unauthorized version believes Raimi's Renaissance Pictures forfeited the rights to the EVIL DEAD trademark by allowing dozens of other films to use it and Raimi himself saying he had no plans to make another film in the franchise. Obviously, the judge disagreed with that assessment. We share our thoughts on this next film from Raimi and the EVIL DEAD franchise in general.
Jean-Claude Van Damme thinks Steven Seagal should lose weight if he takes a role offered to him in THE EXPENDABLES 3. It's not bad advice. Seagal could probably use the work to pay over $330,000 in back taxes that he owes to the state of California. I guess his Lightning Bolt energy drink was a success.
By now you've probably seen that botched restoration of a Jesus Christ painting in Spain. If not, you're in for a treat. An old lady took it upon herself to try and repair the water-damaged 100 year-old fresco. Instead she turned it into something that would make Picasso proud. It immediately became the Internet meme of the day as jokesters Photoshopped it into other world-famous paintings. Now experts have to see if the damage (caused by the woman, not the moisture) can be undone. They're said to even be considering legal action against her.
DNA can now be used as a storage device. Say goodbye to thumb drives and hello to just pricking your thumb. Okay, we're nowhere near that point yet. But the possibility is there. Scientists have found a way to store as much as 700 TB of data on a single gram of DNA. As you'll hear on today's show that doesn't necessarily mean you have to turn to blood for a little hard drive space.
And a quick Breaking News blurb tells the tale of a Montana man who died trying to pull a Bigfoot prank on local residents. Wearing a military-style ghillie suit he snuck out onto a highway at night in hopes of tricking drivers. Instead, the Sasquatch got sasquished by two different cars!

JJ Abrams has clearly made an impression on Fox. As his hit series, FRINGE winds down to its final season, a pilot has been picked up for production from his company that will take place in the near future where police in Los Angeles are partnered with human-like androids. Looks like Mr. Data will be trading in his Starfleet comm badge for a police badge. Not to be outdone, NBC is also working on a robot/human co-existence show that has basically ripped off the plot of BLADE RUNNER. No series commitments yet for either program.
We head down to the Bay once again to bring you up-to-date on the exploits of the world's best aerial cinematographer of Washington DC. You might call it damage control, but to hear Michael Bay tell it, there was no damage done. Apparently a script for his much reviled NINJA TURTLES movie was leaked online. It included Krang, the Technodrome and cartoon favorites Rocksteady and Beebop. Not so fast though! Bay says that script is old news and was written before any deal was signed between his company, Platinum Dunes and Paramount Pictures. They are still planning to have the turtles be aliens instead of mutants. He again told everyone to calm down and wait for the movie. That's right... wait for the complete dismantling of the cannon. Thanks to Hollywood, we're used to it by now though.
Is stripping an art form? The Albany, New York city council will have to decide that next month as a local strip club says it shouldn't have to pay over a $100,000 in taxes because its exotic dancers are artists. One might argue, the time and effort that goes into a lap dance is no different than that put into any other form of professional dancing. One might also argue, strippers are 1099 and therefore are responsible for paying taxes as any other sole proprietor would be. But the question really is, under the local tax code, can exotic dancing be classified as an art form? Can the tax code be interpreted that way? We wanna know what you think. It's the topic of this week's We Ask You Poll. Be sure and cast your vote!
Do you know what a Dirty Igloo might be? Only Mike knows inside that noggin of his. He was under the impression that it might be a Ben & Jerry's flavor. It's not, but it might make a good one. It also might be a good name for one of those sex acts like the Russian Candy Cane or the Eiffel Tower. This discussion is 'aroused' during a story about a lawsuit filed by Ben & Jerry's against a pornography company for using the parody name, Ben & Cherry's while designing their dirty DVD covers to look like the popular pints of ice cream. They even go as far as to parody the flavor names. Listen for those as well as a few we make up ourselves on the show today.
We head to India for our first bit of Breaking News. The country's government got involved after complaints rolled in about the name of a new men's clothing store. The shop was called "Hitler." The shop's owner claims he didn't know who Hitler was when he named his business. He said it was the nickname of his business partner's grandfather. The grandfather was given the nickname because he was "strict." Hmmm... that's a clue right there. But something isn't adding up here. If you look closely at the sign on the storefront, the "i" is dotted with a swastika and it's tilted just as it was on the Nazi Germany flag during WWII. I'm gonna call bullshit on this guy claiming he didn't know about the tyrant. He knew... and I also think he was hoping it would create all this buzz and his little store would get tons of free advertising. Well it worked. He's agreed to change the name however and the BBC reports that he's even getting reimbursed by the Indian government for the costs of changing the store's name and all his marketing materials!
Darwinism is in full effect as cases of Russian Roulette deaths are on the rise here in the US. Estimates say there have been four reported so far this year. That doesn't count any that were not officially reported as being related to the deadly game of chance. The most recent was just last week when a 35 year-old man and his friends had a go with the man's own gun. He lost the game. Police say the group was likely high as they found a pipe in the apartment when they responded to the 911 call.
We're off next week for Jabari's birthday. I don't think we're planning a game of Russian Roulette, but you never know. New shows start September 23rd, same ask time, same ask channel.

Have you seen the latest feature on our website? It's to the right. Thanks to a new website called SpeakPipe, you're now able to leave us a voice message. Instead of typing your rant or rave or question or comment, you can say it and we'll play it. And our first voice message is on today's show. It's neither a rant, rave, question or comment. Instead, it's also an impression.
JJ Abrams has clearly made an impression on Fox. As his hit series, FRINGE winds down to its final season, a pilot has been picked up for production from his company that will take place in the near future where police in Los Angeles are partnered with human-like androids. Looks like Mr. Data will be trading in his Starfleet comm badge for a police badge. Not to be outdone, NBC is also working on a robot/human co-existence show that has basically ripped off the plot of BLADE RUNNER. No series commitments yet for either program.
We head down to the Bay once again to bring you up-to-date on the exploits of the world's best aerial cinematographer of Washington DC. You might call it damage control, but to hear Michael Bay tell it, there was no damage done. Apparently a script for his much reviled NINJA TURTLES movie was leaked online. It included Krang, the Technodrome and cartoon favorites Rocksteady and Beebop. Not so fast though! Bay says that script is old news and was written before any deal was signed between his company, Platinum Dunes and Paramount Pictures. They are still planning to have the turtles be aliens instead of mutants. He again told everyone to calm down and wait for the movie. That's right... wait for the complete dismantling of the cannon. Thanks to Hollywood, we're used to it by now though.
Is stripping an art form? The Albany, New York city council will have to decide that next month as a local strip club says it shouldn't have to pay over a $100,000 in taxes because its exotic dancers are artists. One might argue, the time and effort that goes into a lap dance is no different than that put into any other form of professional dancing. One might also argue, strippers are 1099 and therefore are responsible for paying taxes as any other sole proprietor would be. But the question really is, under the local tax code, can exotic dancing be classified as an art form? Can the tax code be interpreted that way? We wanna know what you think. It's the topic of this week's We Ask You Poll. Be sure and cast your vote!
Do you know what a Dirty Igloo might be? Only Mike knows inside that noggin of his. He was under the impression that it might be a Ben & Jerry's flavor. It's not, but it might make a good one. It also might be a good name for one of those sex acts like the Russian Candy Cane or the Eiffel Tower. This discussion is 'aroused' during a story about a lawsuit filed by Ben & Jerry's against a pornography company for using the parody name, Ben & Cherry's while designing their dirty DVD covers to look like the popular pints of ice cream. They even go as far as to parody the flavor names. Listen for those as well as a few we make up ourselves on the show today.
We head to India for our first bit of...]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-222-just-drack-herAnd Dennis explains the intricacies of our friend John, who filled in for him and Jabari on our last show thanks to a listener E-Mail questioning John's voice. And we've also got a voice message from someone else regarding that strip club tax issue in Albany, New York followed by what he thinks the Dirty Igloo should be. See the previous episode for reference.
Since we were running a little short on time this week, we scrubbed the new Fantasy Football Update segment. It'll be back again next week though since you're all DYING to know how Jabari and Dennis are doing with their picks so far.
Waterman Entertainment is a Hollywood company bent on destroying our childhood television memories. They're shaping up to be quite the factory of cookie-cutter remake, reboot and re-imagined adaptations of any program or cartoon series that has ever been previously produced. And they've targeted THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER as their next blunt force trauma to the movie screen. It's confirmed that it'll be a live-action feature with a computer generated toaster. And since lamps, electric blankets and something called a radio are no longer stylish or used, Waterman has decided to update the household objects that befriend the toaster with more current day gadgets. We surmise what they might be. One of them may have already been officially decided though. Tune-in to find out what!
And Waterman's rampage continues as they've acquired the rights to MR. ED, a 60s sitcom about a talking horse with plans to turn it into a movie as well. This wreaks of something in the vein of that MARMADUKE catastrophe. Or even, Waterman's own take on ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS. Mr. Ed's voice on the old show was over the top with a whinnied inflection that said "I'm a talking horse" without actually saying it. You can bet this new Mr. Ed will not get the voice actor treatment. Instead any given A-list actor will be called in to phone in the gig.
After skipping Michael Bay news in the interest of time (yeah, THAT'S the reason we skipped it), we move onto a study that was found in some government archive which looked at the effects of nuclear radiation on beverages in glass containers. Most notably, beer and soda. You may be surprised at the results to the study conducted back in the 60s.
And the best story of the night, aside from those relating to strip clubs and Jabari's birthday, has to go to the drunken English woman who literally became a pirate by stealing a 45-foot ferry, then proclaimed such as she and her intoxicated pal barreled down the River Dart running over small boats before crashing into a really expensive one. She claimed to be Jack Sparrow, but I doubt that's what was put on her arrest record.
And on a side note, this week's show marks just one month until our 5th anniversary! We've got some exciting changes coming. Nothing too major... there's a new logo on the way, the site is also getting a face lift and I've been toiling away on my audio editing program putting together some new intros (that's what we call the opening music at the start of a show). We'll eventually have around twenty or so that we'll rotate. Keep things fresh.

We cover this at every convention panel we've done so far, but I'm not sure if it was ever talked about on the show. It probably was, we just don't remember. They all start to blend together after seventy or so episodes. One of our hosts was responsible for coming up with the "questionable" name... get it? Because our name is a question? Yeah, listen in to find out who. You'll also hear what the original title of our podcast was going to be. And, while rummaging through some hard drives thanks to a new hard drive dock I just bought — which you'll also hear about on today's show — I even ran across the original theme music we were going to use. The format and premise of that program never took off and was ultimately mutated into what you see and hear before you today. Did we make the right choice? Let us know!
And after their absence, followed by a week off, then a bump due to being short on time last week, it is FINALLY time to check in with Jabari and Dennis on our new Fantasy Football Update segment. We also discuss the whole referee debacle and along with that we play you a clip from NBC's SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in which the crowd lets the temporary refs know just how they felt about a "bullshit" call one of them made against the Ravens coach. It'll likely be the only time you'll hear such words chanted over and over again on network television.
We also tell you about a long awaited sequel to the Farrelly brothers' DUMB AND DUMBER film. They twatted that the script is nearing completion and the film will be called DUMB AND DUMBER TO. Not a typo there.
And on the small screen, a twice canceled show on NBC and ABC is being revived. Not on TV though but on stage. SCRUBS will be turned into a musical according to the show's creator, Bill Lawrence. We chat about the good and bad of SCRUBS' run and more.
Gamers want bigger titties! That's according to feedback Gamasutra got regarding the female characters in the new DEAD OR ALIVE 5. Apparently, going off direction from their corporate overlords, they intended to tone down the sexiness of those female fighters. But after fans played the demo, they let Gamasutra know that the ladies weren't cuttin' it. So, the programmers piled on the chest pixels and here we are with DOA 5 back to it's big-busted self.
Do you know what someone is doing when they're butt-chugging? If not, you'll find out on this episode. And devastating news from the golden arches. It turns out, in a flat-out act of pure greed, they're gonna make you wait until December before you can sink your teeth into the McRib sandwich. Personally, I don't eat 'meat products' shaped like what they're 'trying' to taste like, so this news doesn't really affect me, or any of the Who Asked You? Crew. But we felt like you should know in case you're a fan of it.
And now, that creepy bit of news... in South Carolina a woman was shocked to discover something lurking in her attic. I don't want to spoil it here. I will say, it was watching her, made itself at home up there and required large cups to hold its waste. That bit alone prompts a segue into Jenkem Watch! I think I've said too much already.

They're also making a movie out of Action Man. He was the British version of G.I. Joe. A direct copy to be exact. Joe's likeness was licensed by a UK toy maker and sold to children there in the 60s. Now, Hasbro will see it turned into a motion picture. Soooo, we'll have a movie about a toy that was a direct copy of another toy that is already a movie?
And if that's not bad enough... Hasbro has teamed with Zynga, the company behind FarmVille, to bring to life a few 'themed' versions of their board games. We'll soon see a CityVille version of Monopoly (also being turned into a movie by the way) and FarmVille-themed Hungry Hungry Hippos. Also, the popular mobile app, Words With Friends is getting the board game treatment. That's right, a ripoff of Scrabble is being turned into a... uhh... ripoff of Scrabble.
Now that we're all mentally exhausted, perhaps it's best we relax like men do aboard Cathay Pacific Airlines in the business class section. Allegations from some passengers that business men were doing a little too much relaxing prompted that quirky computer animation company, Next Media Animation, to create one of their newsreel shorts explaining the problem. From what we gathered in the video, the secluded business class accommodations are leading some guys to join the self-mile high club, in view of other passengers no less. The airline is quite upset by the video and wants it pulled from YouTube. Next Media says no way! Watch it while you can in our Show Links below for a good laugh.
Lastly, we have more results from another new study! This one isn't about diseases, discoveries, sciences or technologies... it's about fast food drive-thrus! QSR Magazine — you'll learn what that stands for during the show — polled fast food goers to see which eateries had the best and worst car service based on speed, accuracy, courteousness of staff and view of the restaurant's dumpsters. Burger King didn't fare so well in several of these categories. Where it did score high, a place we'd never even heard of did very poorly. We order up the findings at pay at the second window on today's show.

Director's commentary for the theater? That's right, we may be seeing the birth of a new trend when heading out to the cinema. And LOOPER director Rian Johnson is leading the way. After previously offering up a downloadable MP3 for his film, THE BROTHERS BLOOM, he received requests to do it again. So he did with his latest time travel actioner starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Here's how it works. You download the track, put it on your iPod — or in my case, Zune — play the file when the instructions tell you to as the movie starts and it should be syncronized. They ask that you wear headphones so you don't disturb others, obviously. And Johnson recommends you only listen to his commentary on second viewing. I'm beginning to wonder if this could turn into a dirty scheme by Hollywood. Think about it... 3D didn't take off like they were expecting, so lets start doing DVD-style commentaries that require you to go back and pay to see a movie a second time. At $10 a ticket, they're damned lucky they're getting me a first time around. I've never really listened to the commentaries on my DVDs. I'm just not that interested with most movies.

An amusing prank pulled on the make believe world of Azeroth had some World of Warcraft players, as well as Blizzard, fuming while others simply laughed it off. A few hackers found an exploit in the game allowing them to instantly kill anyone in their path.

WoW has been known to end marriages and in some cases, cost people their jobs. It didn't receive the nickname "World of Warcrack" for nothing. People who play not just this game, but all online games, or even use Facebook and Twitter may have what's now being called "Internet Use Disorder". Those of you who have a compulsory need to check your E-Mail, Facebook feed or any number of social apps on your phone could be suffering from it. The debate is on in the mental health field as to whether this should be an official mental illness or not. Some think it needs more study. But when you look at the brain scans of kids who use a lot of Internet and they're strikingly similar to those of drug abusers... you kinda have to wonder if there isn't something there. We run down the symptoms so you can decide for yourself if you or a loved one is suffering from "Internet Use Disorder". If you are, stop using the Internet immediately except for downloading our show.

Well, three of us were. Can you guess who? And as a result of our intoxication we're louder than usual and the f-word gets used a lot more, even by our standards. I'll apologize now.
With our milestone episodes we've adopted a 'plan nothing' strategy. This means for these event shows, we simply go on-the-air and see where the conversation takes us. And it's not too different than our normal planned out shows. A testament to how similar our planned shows are to the normal, everyday conversations the five of us have all the time.
So lets see... on our anniversary special you'll hear how loud we are when we're drunk. I bring up growing a beard, which leads to a discussion on manscaping. Then we talk about a substitute teacher whose twat got tweeted by a student she was banging as part of his initiation into college. Later we butcher the Australian accent thanks to a listener E-Mail. And as we do often when we get drunk, we rant about JJ Abrams' STAR TREK.

And it's not too different than our normal planned out shows. A testament to how similar our planned shows are to the normal, everyday conversations the five of us have all the time.
So lets see... on our anniversary special you'll hear how loud we are when we're drunk. I bring up growing a beard, which leads to a discussion on manscaping. Then we talk about a substitute teacher whose twat got tweeted by a student she was banging as part of his initiation into college. Later we butcher the Australian accent thanks to a listener E-Mail. And as we do often when we get drunk, we rant about JJ Abrams' STAR TREK.
It's all topped off with that whiskey shot I mentioned earlier. Thanks for the support and for listening... you guys and gals rock! Here's to another five years! Maybe by then I'll have recovered and can take another shot.]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-227-who-axed-youNot every year there's enough 'Halloween' news to fill an hour. As is the case this time. Although there are a couple of candy and costume stories, we drift in and out of our theme with a number of topics planned and unplanned. For example, one planned topic was a few observations I made regarding our sloshed-soiree last week for our 5th anniversary. And an apology to JJ Abrams for being a little too mean during yet another STAR TREK rant. Note: Jabari apologizes for nothing. Then unplanned conversations that included Charlie's dating a wanna-be stripper, the make up of Ambrosia salad and putting donuts on your penis. Told ya this show was messy.
Then it's onto the FINAL edition of the Who Asked You? Calendar. Last year, about this time, I made it my mission to bring you the week's special days, observations and celebrity birthdays each show so that you would be aware of all the holidays that don't get as much love as they should. And now, a year later, we've covered a good portion of those worth mentioning and it's time to move on. Calendar... you served us well by sometimes just killing 10-minutes of a show, often needed on slow news weeks.
We have three E-Mails! One is a voice message, one sent directly to Charlie asking pointedly about his anatomy and another explaining why a listener couldn't bring themselves to whack us... yeah, listen to understand the meaning of that sentence and get your mind out of the gutter. Or not, it's Halloween. Do what you want. We did!
The hot mess continues as I completely skip the list of DVDs coming out on Tuesday. Oops! Don't worry, if you really want to know what's coming out this week, they're in the Show Links as usual. What a mess!
Since this is our Halloween show, it's about time we talk about something Halloween related... candy! The Huff Po created a list of the worst candy handed out each year and we look at some of it and offer up our own suggestions. Once again, Candy Corn gets no love. But that's okay, more for me.
Then you're 'treated' to something real special. For probably the first time in the history of this show, Michael Bay says something with which we actually agree. Recently the actor who voiced Megatron in the TRANSFORMERS movies, Hugo Weaving said he didn't care about the part and basically got nothing fulfilling out of the role. In turn, Bay posted on his website that actors who get paid tons of money to sit in a booth and talk into a microphone should stop whining and be glad they have a job. Suffering from poster's remorse, Bay pulled the comments from his site. But not before everyone — including The Hollywood Reporter — got a good look at it and re-posted it for all to see. The Who Asked You? Crew actually takes Bay's side on this one. With the economy the way it is and the fact that there are starving actors by the tens-of-thousands out there that would kill a fellow thespian in cold blood for a gig that paid the $200,000 that Weaving got, not to mention all the other problems in the world; is this really an issue that an actor needs to raise or make a fuss about? You got paid in an hour and 45-minutes what takes most working class three or four years to earn and all you did was read off a piece of paper. Quit complaining!
Now to the first definition of hot mess, Patricia "Tan Mom" Krentcil. She's the Jack-O-Lantern pictured. And she's on our list of costume suggestions for this year. If you enjoy dressing topically each Halloween, then you'll wanna hear our costume ideas.
So yeah, I could've titled this episode "Hot Mess", but the show's intro was already made. Plus, it would break our tradition of using silly puns of our show title each year for the Halloween episode. With that said, we are breaking tradition starting next year. As I stated above, it's often hard to scrounge up Halloween-only news for these specials. So we're going to try something new in 2013. We're excited about it, but we're not telling you what it is. You'll have to wait until then. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so we'll still be well within the spirit.
I'll be traveling next week, so the show is off. But we'll be back on November 11th with new shows all the way through the end of the year! So more mess to come.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1578013/episode-227-who-axed-you/Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:36:38 +0000Chasecom MediaThis year's Halloween show could've been titled "Hot Mess".

Warner Bros. plans to build a CG feature about a little LEGO man who must save the world with a few unlikely companions to help.
The Schulz family has written a script for a new Charlie Brown movie and 20th Century Fox will make it into an animated feature film. They've taken great care to keep Charlie, Lucy, Snoopy and the gang in the family and it looks like it's about to pay off.
Now onto a TV show that doesn't need to be made. Disney has announced that they'll be producing a sequel series to the popular TGIF show, BOY MEETS WORLD. For anyone who watched ABC in the late 90s when HOME IMPROVEMENT and THE DREW CAREY SHOW were must watch programs, you are likely aware of Cory Matthews. And if you've listened to our show for any length of time you're likely aware of his love interest on the program, Topanga. According to the casting breakdown sent out by Disney late last week, Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel who played those characters respectively are going to reprise their roles. But this show will be called GIRL MEETS WORLD and it'll focus on their 13-year-old daughter, Riley. She'll have an emo best friend named Maya and a slightly older brother, Elliot. The show will run on the Disney Channel. Being — as Charlie puts it — nostalgic motherfuckers, there are some thoughts we have regarding this old televised favorite of the gang.
We're once again on watch for Jenkem as news from South Korea tells us a new toilet theme park there has really flushed out visitors. Koreans are far less 'skiddish' about these sorts of things so the place is proving to be a hit. It's dedicated to the city's former mayor who was affectionately known as Mr. Toilet for his efforts to bring better commodes to the region and promote overall toilet education. There's a garden with squatting sculptures, art galleries and even Mr. Toilet's house, which is shaped like a giant toilet, has been converted to a museum of toilet and poop knowledge.
Finally, with a new STAR WARS trilogy on the way, you're going to want to see it at its best right? Well by the time EPISODE VII hits theaters, Ultra HD will be commonplace at your local Best Buy (if they're still in business by then).

Mike is back this week and we get his opinion on the before mentioned Disney acquisition. Being the biggest STAR WARS fan of the group, his opinion is important to note. Also, being the biggest STAR WARS fan of the group you'd think he'd heard the news before this week's show... you'd think anyway.
A couple of happenings in TV and movies to note this week. The BEVERLY HILLS COP series is moving forward. They've cast Brandon T. Jackson as Aaron Foley, the son of Axel Foley who is now working as a cop there. Eddie Murphy is expected to make cameos if the series gets picked up for a season.
In other casting news, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN sequel has found its Mary Jane Watson. Actress, Shailene Woodley won the part. Meanwhile, we've learned that the villain will be Electro and Jamie Foxx is up for that role.
To gif is to create one of those little gritty images that, if animated, plays over and over. It's a favorite amongst the meme creators and the word gif is the Oxford Dictionary word of the year.

It's been a week since the Nintendo Wii U came out. The first new console since 2006 seems to be doing well. While there's a bit of trepidation with the direction Nintendo is going these days, the gimmick of jumping around your living room waving your arms about to get Mario up onto a brick wall has taken the next step... the gampepad. A tablet-style controller your kids are sure to Black Friday one another over for the first turn come Christmas morning. The guts of the Wii U aren't ground breaking. It's practically a regular Wii that can output in HD. But there are some strong titles available at launch like ASSASSIN'S CREED III and BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM. Nintendo is hoping you'll snag one these new games as it's taking a loss on each Wii U sold. And buying just one extra game puts them back in the green, according to the company.
Now to the Xbox 360. An Australian man has set a new world record for marathon game play. He sat for a week and played CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS II. During that time he stood up, sat down, used his banked break time to catch a few Z's and perhaps thanked his lucky stars he didn't keel over dead like some other long term gamers before him have done.
We've got another toilet story. This one does not involve a theme park unfortunately. Instead, it involves an old used toilet that was auctioned off in Toronto for $5,000! This can is special though, it's seen the asses of a number of players on the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. One devoted fan picked up the potty and plans to display it in his sports memorabilia room. Maybe he and the McJordan BBQ sauce guy can get together... start a blog or something. The Canadian lawyer was going after a banner that quickly escelated out of his price range. So like 99% of Black Friday customers who show up for that $100 TV the store has five units of, he was forced to settle for something else.

We got a chance to play it before today's show. Now in the past we've expressed our concerns, made our jokes and gave our predictions on how the Wii U would 'play' out. And after a few hours of NINTENDO LAND fun, we all agreed it's definitely worthy of consideration if you're picking up a new console and can't decide which one. Nintendo may not have the latest in graphics and may be a bit borderline gimmick with the whole shaking the controllers and what not, but they've managed to once again make things damned fun. Now we had a blast just playing NINTENDO LAND, which comes with the Wii U. I'm imagining the potential of what they can do with it in the coming years. Especially that tablet controller called the Gamepad. We thought it might be silly, but it actually adds a lot to the game play and will surely have the kids arguing over it come Christmas morning. Maybe a future firmware update will allow the console to support more than one someday?
What would you do with a zillion dollars? We ponder that on the news that the lucky Powerball Jackpot winners will take home over $193-million after taxes. If I had won, I would launch Who Asked You? cable and radio networks. Maybe call it Who-Net. Us five big mouths, 24/7 on your TV and radio... ahh, the glory it would be.
Within a few minutes time we create a pornographic scenario involving the grandparents from Willy Wonka, catch up on Dennis and Jabari's Fantasy Football standings and fathom whether or not $18 to a Fathom movie event for STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION is too much money.
Dennis derails the New Releases with a question of favorite sci-fi movies, which brings up the question of whether or not JURASSIC PARK and STAR WARS are science fiction.
And then finally, it's into the show rundown starting with Angus T. Jones' new found faith. If you're unaware of events this past week involving the 19-year-old star from TWO AND A HALF MEN, allow me to easily fill you in. He went on YouTube and called his bread and butter, "filth." Then quasi-apologized to his co-stars the next day in a written statement. His girlfriend, Internet celebrity — question mark — "Stalker Sarah", apparently introduced him to the Seventh Day Adventist religion. Jones is still under contract with CBS, so he's still collecting an enormous paycheck that is undeserved given his talent, or lack there of for acting. If he's really that passionate about his new faith and upset over the filthy show he's worked on for the last ten years, maybe he should start giving all that money to his church.
Then it's back to Nintendo. Their magazine, "Nintendo Power" is publishing its final issue this month. The gaming rag went retro for its final cover recreating a clay scene it depicted on its very first copy. "Nintendo Power" has been in continuous publication since 1988. It's not the first gaming magazine to run out of lives. And it probably won't be the last. But the question we wonder is, like newspapers, are they even relevant anymore with the web and Internet-connected consoles?
And the last bit of news we have time for, because Dennis takes up the rest of it complaining about the new Macs not having optical drives, is more rumor than actual news. It seems like more than a coincidink that a time frame for the next Xbox gets leaked shortly after the Wii U hits the market. But whether it was planned or not, the rumor is that it'll be out in time for Christmas next year and could include — among other interesting features — a Blu-ray drive. And if you're like Dennis and use your Xbox mostly for watching Netflix, there could be a version of it minus the video game capabilities. A Microsoft version of the Roku essentially. Since we don't have time for the story that spawned this week's We Ask You Poll, I simply pose the question and once your votes are tallied, we'll read 'em and the story on next week's show. Been looking for a way to spice up the poll. This could be the beginning of a new way of doing it. We'll see how it goes.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1614399/episode-231-sausage-taker/Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:55:11 +0000Chasecom MediaIt's time now for another one of those episodes where we run out of time.

If I had won, I would launch Who Asked You? cable and radio networks. Maybe call it Who-Net. Us five big mouths, 24/7 on your TV and radio... ahh, the glory it would be.
Within a few minutes time we create a pornographic scenario involving the grandparents from Willy Wonka, catch up on Dennis and Jabari's Fantasy Football standings and fathom whether or not $18 to a Fathom movie event for STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION is too much money.
Dennis derails the New Releases with a question of favorite sci-fi movies, which brings up the question of whether or not JURASSIC PARK and STAR WARS are science fiction.
And then finally, it's into the show rundown starting with Angus T. Jones' new found faith. If you're unaware of events this past week involving the 19-year-old star from TWO AND A HALF MEN, allow me to easily fill you in. He went on YouTube and called his bread and butter, "filth." Then quasi-apologized to his co-stars the next day in a written statement. His girlfriend, Internet celebrity — question mark — "Stalker Sarah", apparently introduced him to the Seventh Day Adventist religion. Jones is still under contract with CBS, so he's still collecting an enormous paycheck that is undeserved given his talent, or lack there of for acting. If he's really that passionate about his new faith and upset over the filthy show he's worked on for the last ten years, maybe he should start giving all that money to his church.
Then it's back to Nintendo. Their magazine, "Nintendo Power" is publishing its final issue this month. The gaming rag went retro for its final cover recreating a clay scene it depicted on its very first copy. "Nintendo Power" has been in continuous publication since 1988. It's not the first gaming magazine to run out of lives. And it probably won't be the last. But the question we wonder is, like newspapers, are they even relevant anymore with the web and Internet-connected consoles?
And the last bit of news we have time for, because Dennis takes up the rest of it complaining about the new Macs not having optical drives, is more rumor than actual news. It seems like more than a coincidink that a time frame for the next Xbox gets leaked shortly after the Wii U hits the market. But whether it was planned or not, the rumor is that it'll be out in time for Christmas next year and could include — among other interesting features — a Blu-ray drive. And if you're like Dennis and use your Xbox mostly for...]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-232-cold-chapped-reach-aroundSince our 5th Anniversary show the episodes have been pretty mild. I began to wonder if we'd lost our spunk after five long years. I can tell you now that we have not! In probably our most lively show since then we're all over a number of stories. We warm up on one that relates to last week's poll that we didn't get to in time. That story is one of Eric Hartsburg who got Mitt Romney's campaign logo tattooed on his face for a mere $15,000. Talk about a cold chappy reach around.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is getting the good kind of reach around. He's been asked to reprise his role as Conan the Barbarian in a sequel/continuation/not third film but rather replacement to second film but taking place after second film. THE LEGEND OF CONAN will pick up where the 1982 film left off... a seasoned, older Conan perched on a throne. Best of all, using Arnold's real life aging, they won't need any make up! Arnold says he's thrilled to be back. Get it? Because he'll... be back?
What are your top-ten movie villains of all time? Ript Apparel — the 24-hour limited edition shirt printer — has theirs. And boy do we have ours... more specifically, Dennis. But we all throw in making a master list of sorts. Ript's rundown includes the likes of Hannibal Lecter (we agree) and the Wicked Witch from THE WIZARD OF OZ (we disagree). Our list includes Clarence Boddicker of ROBOCOP and Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn!!!!!! Plus others. Tune-in to hear 'em.
There's a list from Forbes Magazine of some actors in Tinseltown that are most certainly getting the good kind of reach around. They're incredibly over paid. I present a Chase's Challenge to the guys to see if they can name the number-one highest over paid A-Lister. Spoiler... they don't, but they do get several others on the list while guessing.
AMC's WALKING DEAD has certainly grown a fan base. Some of the fans may take the comic-turned-show a little too seriously through. Now I know what you're thinking, Chase, you and Jabari have torn JJ Abrams a new one numerous times over his STAR TREK. But without spoiling too much of this story here, I'll just say Jabari and I likely wouldn't do to Abrams what one WALKING DEAD fan did to his girlfriend because she disagreed with him over the show's plot validity.

But before that, there are a few other bits of news to tell you about first. Most importantly, Dennis' quest for a Twinkie has come to an end. He finally obtained two of the precious pastries and brought them both — unopened — to the show. He ate one right in front of us and then left it up to the chat room to see who got the other. Was it Mike? Or Charlie? Maybe it was JB. Or perhaps twas me? Tune-in to find out who was gifted this little Christmas miracle.
In one of Disney's hands is the teet of the STAR WARS franchise about to be milked yet again. In the other is their own TRON franchise about to see a third yank. Garrett Hedlund, the guy who played Flynn's son, Sam plans to reprise his role. And Joseph Kosinski will once again direct. He says they've got a great idea and it all comes down to the execution at the script level... soooo, it's gonna suck. If Hollywood has shown us anything in the past several years it's that the talent pool for writing has dried up. To be a WGA member these days you simply need to contort an old toy, comic book or cartoon into a cookie cutter screenplay eligible for desperate green lighting automatically by any given studio. Now we here at Who Asked You? are in the minority, and not cuz we have three black guys on our crew, but because we enjoyed TRON LEGACY. But, we've learned through numerous disappointments that one good sequel doesn't mean the third will be too.
You wanna know what's really disappointing? Michelob's sales numbers. The beer that's been around since the 1890s ain't doing too good. And there's eight other brews that are right there with it. Today, we'll bring you a list of the nine American beers Americans no longer drink compiled by the folks at 24/7 Wall Street.
Is Santa Claus a Democrat or a Republican? American's were polled to find out. On one hand, he thinks of others and hands stuff out for free without considering the financial or economical impact, so he could be a Democrat. On the other he only gets things done one day a year and he's old, white and fat... so he could be Republican. We'll tell you what those polled thought about his political affiliation as well as what percentage of folks would tell their dads if they saw ol' St. Nick slippin' mom the tongue. Also, would you press charges against him if his reindeer ran over your grandma? You might be shocked at just how many people would. More shocked than you are to learn this poll was even conducted.

And that means it's time for us to reflect on the last 52 weeks. Good movies, forgotten TV shows, game consoles we thought would be stupid but turned out to be really fun... it's all on this rapid fire year-in-review edition of Who Asked You?. Along with technical difficulties involving Dennis' microphone. A sort of foreshadowing of a much needed studio upgrade happening during our holiday break. It wasn't really a technical failure at all. It was a button-pushing failure on my part. We all can hear Dennis, but the guys couldn't. Eventually all is worked out and the show carries on.
But there's more to this show than just the good, the bad and the Honey Boo Boo. We also play the CLIP OF THE YEAR as chosen by you. It was a landslide by the way. And we enlist the help of the ErrorFM chat room to choose our 2013 Calendar Girl. A brief history on this...
The Who Asked You? calendar is a chronological masterpiece to rival even the Mayans' stone chiselings. You at home don't get to see it. It's merely a production calendar with our year's show's highlighted so the fellas know if there's an episode coming up on any given week. The girl was added only to attract Dennis' eyes to the calendar as he never paid attention to the first one and constantly asked me, "Are we doing a show this week?" And although it hasn't worked, and he still pays little attention to it, the girls have become a bit of a tradition. It's truly an honor to appear — without giving us permission — on our production calendar, and you famous females shouldn't take it lightly. Previous beauties included Jessica Biel and Alba, Denise Lawton and most recently Chell from the animated feature, THE ROAD TO EL DORADO. Jabari suggested Cherokee D'Azz, but wanting to keep things classy we thought up Charlize Theron and Sofia Vergara. Mike threw in Catherine Zeta-Jones. The chat room had a suggestion or two as well. Ultimately it's decided and you'll hear our choice during the show! Then it's back to recounting 2012 points of interest or disinterest like Microsoft's release of the overpriced Surface tablet or Apple's bullshit iPad Mini.

More chunk blowing than Dennis did last night after eating some spoiled tuna at work. He's out this show, but is with us in spirit and in the chat room.
What more can I say about the volley of cinematic bullshit headed our way in 2013. I'd estimate about one in every eight movies is worthy of the overpriced $10 ticket waiting for you at the box office. One way around the cringe of coughing up that much cash for a questionable 90-minutes of entertainment is a subscription-based system at the theater. An E-Mail brings us an article about a group of friends in California who've come up with a monthly-fee service that could save many of the US's ailing small town movie theaters. For $20 you can see any movie once and buy discounted tickets for friends or family who aren't members. "Ticket sales" would be tallied by swiping some sort of member card at the door. This could work for large theaters like Regal or Cinemark too. But would it be more than $20 a month? And would it be worth it? Given the next 12-months' worth of coming attractions my answer is 'no' and I hope yours will be too.
The most promising movie on today's show, for me, is probably Guillermo del Toro's PACIFIC RIM. I'm a fan of giant fighting robots controlled by humans. Throw in some aliens and del Toro's directing style and I think we might just have a picture. Coincidentally, one of the worst sounding films on the list comes out the same month. The week after PACIFIC RIM will bring us R.I.P.D. starring Ryan Reynolds. Undead police officer... that's all I'm gonna say. Tune-in for the rest.
Disney's PLANES starring John Cryer from TWO AND A HALF MEN as well as THE SMURFS 2 also blip loudly on our shit-dar. While THOR: THE DARK WORLD, IRON MAN 3 and THIS IS THE END show promise. Now we've been wrong about movies before. And we'll gladly admit it when the time comes if any of these we shit on turn out to be good. And vice versa, for those we talk up and turn out to be complete garbage. Only time will tell.
One thing is for certain. No matter how bad the last one was, we'll all go back for another helping.

We waited to talk about this until today because last week was our annual movie preview show and also Dennis was absent. On New Year's Eve we didn't tune into the typical Time Square extravaganza broadcast, but rather a cable access-worthy brown nugget called, FIRST NIGHT 2013. It was hosted by Jamie Kennedy. It was a complete train wreck. Entertaining for all the WRONG reasons. Sloppy camera work, awkward comments made while mics were still hot, bland off-key musical performances and colorful language the FCC frowns upon were sent out over the airwaves uncensored as though it were airing on HBO. These were just a few notes we made as we drunkenly laughed at what could be one of the worst network broadcasts in history. If you didn't catch any of the Carl's Jr. sponsored bedlam, fear not. We'll squeeze out the details for you on this week's show.
We're not done crapping on TV yet. News has just come down that NBC is passing on MOCKINGBIRD LANE, their weird, gothic dramedy take on the old THE MUNSTERS sitcom. Having the highest Friday night ratings of any show in the past two years on the peacock apparently wasn't good enough. I was the only one of the group who watched it and NO, it wasn't good enough... despite those ratings.
But there's even more poop on NBC. We're on Jenkem Watch thanks to a hilarious confession from TODAY's Al Roker about an ill-timed shart he once had. We'll tell you all about it and we'll reveal what we would've done if in Al's situation.
Do beautiful women turn you on? What if they're covered in animal feces? Or compost? Oh, I know... you get off on the dames caked in manure, don't you? You're a filthy one aren't you? Well, IF — and that's a big 'if' — you're into that sort of thing, you may want to check out the calendar from the Fertile Earth Foundation. They're on a mission to educate folks on the benefits and cost savings of composting with your own dookie. The caca-calendar features a lovely model for each month in some sort of smelly situation. It's the second part of Jenkem Watch this week. There's only about a thousand of these getting printed, so act fast.
Now it's time for a steamy log on the silver screen. Friday brought us an announcement from Universal Pictures that the long awaited JURASSIC PARK 4 will release the summer of 2014. Now, as JURASSIC PARK is my favorite movie, I am excited. However, when I read some of the details from a previous draft of the script on today's show, that excitement will quickly be flushed away. Butt, there may still be some hope floating around thanks to the news of who's writing the NEW screenplay draft. By the way, I'm not sure how many poop puns I have left. So I'll try and wrap this up soon.
It's no wonder we haven't seen a STAR WARS live-action TV series yet. The one Rick McCallum over at Lucasfilm came up with would've cost $5-million per episode to make. Apparently those who saw the budget shit their pants worse than Al Roker and fifty scripts that were written got shelved. Well, now that ABC owns STAR WARS and won't have to pay enormous royalties to anyone, they're seriously looking at that show once again.
One of Monopoly's iconic game tokens is getting shit on. Hasbro feels it's time to let one go. And they're letting you decide... sort of. For a time you can go to a special website they've set up and vote for the piece you want to save. Then you can vote for the new piece that will replace the least popular one. Vote now so your favorite pewter pal has a, 'Chance'. That pun wasn't even poop related.
Lastly, it's award season in Tinseltown which means some actors, directors and films will get shit on in the form of the Razzie Awards. Recognizing the absolute worst in motion picture production — a monumental task these days — the Razzie nominations included A-Listers from all walks of film. Tyler Perry, Kristen Stewart, Nicolas Cage, just to name a few. And the Worst Picture category has some doozies. You'll hear our choice and lots more on this shitty edition of Who Asked You?.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1651026/episode-236-taken-a-two/Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:50:00 +0000Chasecom MediaWe've certainly had one of these before...

It's the second part of Jenkem Watch this week. There's only about a thousand of these getting printed, so act fast.
Now it's time for a steamy log on the silver screen. Friday brought us an announcement from Universal Pictures that the long awaited JURASSIC PARK 4 will release the summer of 2014. Now, as JURASSIC PARK is my favorite movie, I am excited. However, when I read some of the details from a previous draft of the script on today's show, that excitement will quickly be flushed away. Butt, there may still be some hope floating around thanks to the news of who's writing the NEW screenplay draft. By the way, I'm not sure how many poop puns I have left. So I'll try and wrap this up soon.
It's no wonder we haven't seen a STAR WARS live-action TV series yet. The one Rick McCallum over at Lucasfilm came up with would've cost $5-million per episode to make. Apparently those who saw the budget shit their pants worse than Al Roker and fifty scripts that were written got shelved. Well, now that ABC owns STAR WARS and won't have to pay enormous royalties to anyone, they're seriously looking at that show once again.
One of Monopoly's iconic game tokens is getting shit on. Hasbro feels it's time to let one go. And they're letting you decide... sort of. For a time you can go to a special website they've set up and vote for the piece you want to save. Then you can vote for the new piece that will replace the least popular one.

Luckily the football we were watching did not involve one, Manti Te'o. If you don't know who this guy is yet I must ask what part of the galaxy you currently live in? The Notre Dame linebacker is in some hot water as he has allegedly made up a fantasy involving a fake girlfriend who died of cancer just hours after his grandmother's death. He claims he was fooled by an Internet prankster. By the way, the two apparently only had an online relationship. However, after finding out she wasn't real and the photos of her were stolen from some woman's Facebook page who is very much alive, he continued to talk about her in interviews as though the girlfriend did exist. Plus, his dad was quoted as saying the girl came to visit Te'o while he was on break at home in Hawaii. Some think he's playing the sympathy card as some sort of inspirational publicity stunt. The question is, was he in on it? Or was he genuinely fooled by a cyber-prankster? The investigation is just getting started. We'll know soon enough.
As I mentioned, we'd been drinking so some of us may be a tad buzzed on this episode. We're just as chatty and obnoxious as ever, so really there's no difference. Fox got chatty last week with two big announcements. They're introducing a new Animation Domination block to late Saturday nights where they can test out short, new concept series. One of which, AXE COP, was created by a 29-year-old comic book artist and his 5-year-old brother. It's been around on the web for awhile now as a comic strip. So those of you who are a fan of the birthday cake-eating superhero can now catch up with him in full animation form come July 27th.
Fox also announced that they're breaking the FX network into two channels. Similar to the Turner-owned TNT and TBS, FX will focus on drama programming and FXX, as it's being called right now, will do comedy. That network is expected to premier sometime next Fall. And our beloved IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA will likely move to the new channel. This makes me nervous. But we'll see. Meanwhile they're also renaming their Speed and Fuel networks to Fox Sports 1 and 2 respectively. Those channels will be direct competition to ESPN.
REVOLUTION, FRINGE, THE WALKING DEAD... these shows all have something in common. It's both flattering and frustrating for those who pay to have them made. They, along with seven other TV programs made the top-ten list for the most (not so legally) downloaded shows of 2012. TorrentFreak.com, the website we often turn to for news regarding the Bureau of Acquisitions compiled the list. There's an interesting statistic involving the only three shows on the list that are on premium cable channels. Tune in to hear about it!
And finally, Hollywood is showing that they truly and deeply need ideas from anywhere they can possibly scrounge them up. We've seen them rape classic cartoons, plunder comic books and desimate our childhood toys and memories. As they continue to mine those entertainment sectors along with video games, novels, TV shows and even board games, there's yet another place they've turned to for a movie script... the Internet... more specifically, Reddit. If you're unaware of Reddit, it's a website that's been around for quite some time. It's a sort of forum/social network/online community/link dump. There are some magnificent and some terrifying things to be found buried deep within the bowels of Reddit's databases. One idea, Warner Bros. didn't have to dig for at all. It was featured on the homepage. Likely what turned the studio onto it. A former Jeopardy champion wrote a thread asking whether current day military soldiers could defeat the Ancient Romans if sent back in time. It started as a 350-word short story and the response has been overwhelming. Now it's up to 3,500-words and, as I said, is being optioned as a movie script.
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm talking about using ideas from the Internet as movies, not this particular movie plot. On one hand, it allows regular folk a foot in the door to the elite, members only club that is motion picture production. Someone can potentially bypass the WGA process and have their idea quickly brought to life. On the other hand, Hollywood is a drug addict, and is currently addicted to terrible ideas and unnecessary remakes and adaptations. At this point, they'll snort up just about anything. Without a riff raff filter we could see even worse movies on the way.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1657249/episode-237-on-the-ball/Mon, 21 Jan 2013 22:55:40 +0000Chasecom MediaI'm on the ball this week.

The first item we MUST discuss is the news of J.J. Abrams taking the director's chair for the new STAR WARS movie. As you can imagine, we void off, once again, into talking about his STAR TREK. But not as bad as in the past. We're getting better at not traveling into that wormhole as much. We've said our piece many-a-times, plus I don't want to promote that piece of shit film any more than we already have. Should one man control so much popular science fiction? This is something we should all ponder. We welcome you thoughts.
Another pressing matter you simply must hear about is the shortchanging taking place all across the world by Subway restaurants. Some of their footlong sandwiches are NOT measuring up. Evidence of this appeared on the company's Facebook Page thanks to an Australian customer who happened to have a tape measure handy. You can check out the image below in the Show Links. It clearly shows an 11-inch sandwich. The missing inch has a lot of customers getting 'short' with Subway. Additional images of length challenged subs have been popping up across the web, the New York Post even did an investigative piece and their are lawsuits in the works by those who've been duped prompting the restaurant to release a statement. They apologized of course, but the question remains, was it on purpose? I'm reminded of those stories of airlines that saved millions by cutting out food services or using less paint layers on their planes to lighten their weight. Is Subway trying to pull a fast one to save a buck? Or does some of their "fresh baked bread" need a little more yeast?
But perhaps the most spirited conversation of the night — more so than the J.J. Abrams one — takes place at the end of the show. In Indiana, a lawmaker there is trying to get cursive writing put back into school curriculum as required learning for elementary students. Proponents say it's good hand/eye coordination skills for kids. It'll also enable them to READ cursive writing and connects them with the past. Opponents say it's archaic and unnecessary... we have iPads now. All but four states have dropped cursive as a requirement. It's up to local school districts whether they want to teach it or not. My concern is whether or not kids will be able to read it. Road signs and credit card bills aren't written in cursive, but a letter from meemaw might be. Perhaps it's up to junior to teach those relatives how to use Skype. But then there's the question of signatures. Will there be a generation of adults who print their name on the dotted line? I think learning to read it should at least be required. Our discussion of this turns into how and when we write in the script and even how we write certain letters. And even how legible our names are. How many letters can we make out in our signatures? I know at least four in mine.

The house of mouse plans to not only crank out another trilogy, but says it's also going to do several stand-along films to be released concurrently.

Or did he meet Chewy after that? I don't know... I'm a STAR TREK guy.
By now you've almost certainly heard of a homeless, hitchhiking surfer named Kai. He's the stoner-esk fellow interviewed on Fresno's local Fox station after killing a crazy guy with a hatchet. It was self defense of course. The wacko had run over an unsuspecting utility worker and later started beating up two women who were trying to help. Kai, being the resourceful fellow he is, happened to have a hatchet which he used to quote, "Smash, smash, suh-mash," in the crazed man's skull. When the video went viral on YouTube, KMPH-TV responded faster than you could say 'breaking news' and cashed in on the worldwide phenomenon. They have a special banner at the top of the website and even tracked Kai down for a second interview about his life and his thoughts on his new-found web fame. The only thing Kai really seems interested in is getting his hands on a new wet suit and surf board. Don't worry man, I'm sure you'll be getting something from one of these surf companies wanting to also take advantage of the free marketing very soon. You'll also likely be offered a reality show, a record deal (he actually sings and plays the guitar) and society might as well throw in a book deal too.

Our big story of the week is this rumor bullshit surrounding the new Xbox and possibly PS4. It's floating around out there that the next iteration of either console may require activation codes over the Internet that would lock a game to a single console. In other words, no more trading games with your buddy, no more picking up cheap titles at used game stores or renting new releases from GameFly. Game makers have lost out on revenue thanks to more and more people buying used titles for a fraction of the cost of something that just came out. This is a pretty shitty idea. I smell the foul stench of anti-trust in the air. Do you? I'm mulling over the idea of buying a console myself. The ol' PS2 has run its course. But if this shit happens, I'm out. I refuse to buy an overpriced game console and then be forced to only buy new games and once they're mine in my own house, not being able to share them with friends and family.

And I know you've been wondering where he is... so here's an update on the one and only Randy Quaid. He and his wife fled the US as they're facing felony charges for vandalising a home they didn't have permission to live in. They fled to Canada in hopes of avoiding the cops and the "star-whacker" Quaid claims is out to get him. He even went so far as to apply for permanent residency there. But it has been denied. If they return to the US, they'll be arrested. So it looks like Cousin Eddie and wife will be on the lamb. They may just bump into Kai during their travels.

We then gallop into news that Aaron McGruder, creator of THE BOONDOCKS comic and TV series, has launched a Kickstarter to hopefully fund a live-action movie starring the white-man-fan, Uncle Ruckus. McGruder says that it'd be impossible to cast the show's main characters, Huey and Riley with live-action actors, so this is the next best thing. And according to McGruder, Gary Anthony Williams - who voiced the Ruckus on the cartoon - will star in the film and, once in the costume, effortlessly brought the character to life. Ruckus will have no problem holding down his own feature length film. Like any Kickstarter, there are rewards depending on how much you pledge. And they're all named after popular white men here in America. Ruckus wouldn't have it any other way.
We then trot through the news that Pope Benedict has decided to step down from the position. He's the first Pope to do so in 600 years! Mike smells a conspiracy. Benedict says he just can't keep up given his age. And he never wanted the position to begin with. If they'd stop electing fossils every time, the Catholic church may actually get a few years out of them. I don't know what the rules are with age limits on who can be Papal, but why don't they elect someone in their 50s? Maybe that's not aloud?
This is a trying time for religious folk, but you can all take comfort in a little rap song from Pastor Jim Colerick and his wife. They drop a beat and inform the youth of Jesus. The video was put up on YouTube by the guy that filmed it. According to the church website, they're no longer in business. But they closed their doors before YouTube was even invented, so something tells me it wasn't this video that did them in. However, if they went around telling kids that "Jesus Christ is my nigga” as they do in the video, then that might have led to their chapel's demise. In any case, the video is funny as shit. We play the song and offer our thoughts. Plus, the Pastor's wife gets a rare honor and is inducted into our soundboard where she'll be heard on many-a-show to come.

Our mare is rested and we continue to a story involving dicks. It wouldn't be a Who Asked You? without one. This tale comes courtesy of rock-n-roll legend, Chubby Checker. He's pissed because a Palm OS app from back in 2011 used the name "Chubby Checker" without his permission. Since it's actually his stage name, I'm not sure he has a legal claim. Did he copyright the term? Can you do that? I think he's really mad over the association between the name and what the app does. Basically, it predicts a dudes dick length based off from what size shoe he wears. The app no longer exists and neither does the company who made it. But Mr. Checker wants, what the suit claims was all $500-million that app made. Come on, this was on Palm OS… nobody uses that shit. There's no way the app made that much money. I think Chubby Checker needs a fact checker.

We need her to get home. Stop it! Right now! Wait a second. I recognize you. We were just talking about you on today's show, Andrew Mendoza. Frustrated his gal-pal didn't come by for a booty call, Mendoza decided to try a crime against nature and impregnate a horse. Seriously, he says that's what he was trying to do in the police report. You can read it by following the link in our Show Links. While having sex with it he states that he, "blew a nut in the horse," adding that he was trying to create a horse-man baby. Dr. Moreau goes into hilarious detail regarding his equestrian-encounter. In the end he didn't get his hybrid baby, but rather four months in jail for criminal trespassing and public lewdness. As we've stated on a previous show or two, most states don't have any bestiality laws so he off easy, no pun intended.

And they're all named after popular white men here in America. Ruckus wouldn't have it any other way.
We then trot through the news that Pope Benedict has decided to step down from the position. He's the first Pope to do so in 600 years! Mike smells a conspiracy. Benedict says he just can't keep up given his age. And he never wanted the position to begin with. If they'd stop electing fossils every time, the Catholic church may actually get a few years out of them. I don't know what the rules are with age limits on who can be Papal, but why don't they elect someone in their 50s? Maybe that's not aloud?
This is a trying time for religious folk, but you can all take comfort in a little rap song from Pastor Jim Colerick and his wife. They drop a beat and inform the youth of Jesus. The video was put up on YouTube by the guy that filmed it. According to the church website, they're no longer in business. But they closed their doors before YouTube was even invented, so something tells me it wasn't this video that did them in. However, if they went around telling kids that "Jesus Christ is my nigga” as they do in the video, then that might have led to their chapel's demise. In any case, the video is funny as shit. We play the song and offer our thoughts. Plus, the Pastor's wife gets a rare honor and is inducted into our soundboard where she'll be heard on many-a-show to come.

Sony's new PlayStation. They quasi-unveiled it this past week. There was a lot of fancy Nvidia-rendered game footage and a controller. No console though. Sony has locked the designers in a room and given them until the holidays to come up with something that'll probably look like a DVD player and a Maserati mated. They rattled off the specs, pulled out the new touchpad equipped controller and then left everyone wondering what the thing will cost. No price or launch date was given. And again, they didn't even have a prototype to show. Something tells me Sony just wanted to get the jump on the folks over at Microsoft. In a way you can't blame them, late last year, Sony's stock was reduced to junk status, but has rebounded a bit since then. It's been six years since the PS3 came out and the Xbox 360 seems to be the norm for many. Most people I know don't own JUST a PS3. They also have a 360 and/or a Wii with and without the U. One of the new functions of the PS4 that caught my attention is this new online cloud shit Sony will be pushing. Among other things, it'll allow you to hand over control of your game to an online buddy in case you're having trouble jumping a chasm or fighting off a group of enemies. You also get the option of recording video clips of your game play and there's a secondary processor inside the PS4 that will handle background tasks like downloading game demos without your permission. Fun! All this can be yours for the high high price of just..... ummmm.....
Our live netcast last night had to compete with the Oscars' telecast. We couldn't care less about these hollow, meaningless awards. However, the anti-award known as the Razzie always generates discussion on our show. And the winners for 2012 were split mostly between two movies. Find out what they are by tuning in!
No one deserves a Razzie for recent work more than Michael Bay. Sometimes we wouldn't mind throwing him down a hole. He blipped on our radar this week with the announcement on his website that Megan Fox will be playing a role in his live-action NINJA TURTLES movie. The single line of text proclaiming that she's been welcomed back into the family, left many wondering if she'll take the role of April O'Neil. Although it's not official, someone did ask his Bay-jesty about the character on Twitter and he did reply, "Yes." To which our reply is simply a sigh and disappointed head shake.
If we ever do reach the bottom of this rabbit hole we're going to need some light... perhaps we can get that from a lightsaber? And perhaps I can work on a better segue? In San Fran a group of STAR WARS enthusiasts are teaching lightsaber fighting. They say their technique is easy to master and will have you fighting like a Jedi in no time at all. The classes are just $10 and they even provide you with a saber for the first month free!

One thing none of us can warm up to is taking a cruise on the Titanic II. If you haven't heard about this, allow me to explain... a billionaire from Australia is personally funding the construction of another Titanic. His goal is to retrace the ship's course and complete the journey it never got the chance to. He's even providing passengers with 1912 clothing and plans to, according to one report, divvy up the ship by class. That's right, second and third-class passengers will NOT be aloud in first-class areas. This is getting a little too accurate for my taste. The Titanic II will be identical to the original including the furniture and dishes. However, it'll be three-inches longer and will have enough lifeboats for everyone. Funny thing is, the original had enough lifeboats for everyone, but those fuckin' first-classers didn't wanna share. I'll push a millionaire CEO overboard!

They've chosen an actor to portray Spidey's most popular villain. Chris Cooper will take the role of Norman Osborn. There are already two bad guys showing up in part two.

A good portion of today's show involves Disney and its heyday of hand-drawn, 2D films. Our conversation stems from comments made by Disney's boss man, Bob Iger. He told shareholders the company wasn't working on and had no plans to do any hand-drawn animations anytime soon. Dennis threw out the question of which animated features bombed to us personally. Mike, who as you know, likes just about all things animated, said he didn't care for Disney's THE BLACK CAULDRON and he wished The Hunchback had died at the end of Disney's version of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE-DAME. I think Mike has been hanging around Charlie too long. In the original tale, Esmeralda is hanged and Quasimodo starves to death laying next to her corpse. Not sure how that would look on a Disney Princess lunch box. The real question though is whether or not hand-drawn animated movies can/will be enjoyed by today's children. These are kids who have grown up on 4K resolution CGI from companies like Pixar and Dreamworks. Dennis experienced first hand a child's disapproval of classics like THE RESCUERS. Is it just because the animation looks funny? The colors aren't as crisp? The characters don't move perfectly smooth? Or is it the stories and characters of yesterday don't appeal to the iPad generation? John Lasseter, who was responsible for the last hand-drawn Disney feature to date, THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, says old-school animation became an excuse for bad storytelling, hence the reason it was phased out. We completely agree. It doesn't matter how it's animated, if the story is good, you care about the characters and are entertained, the fact that it was created by human hand and not key frames shouldn't make a difference. What do you think?
We'd also like to know your thoughts on the pending new Facebook. It's the topic of the We Ask You Poll question this week. If you haven't heard, Facebook is preparing to roll out an all new look and feel. We have a link in the Show Links where you can preview the layout and even get on the waiting list to try it out. Surprisingly, the new look doesn't seem as bad as 'timeline'. It reminds me of a Tumblr blog. Mark Zuckerberg said during the unveiling, that he wants Facebook to be a personalized newspaper. Not sure if I agree with that. Pictures of cats, food duck faces in bathroom mirrors and status updates of what someone is doing or where they're going at a particular moment is NOT what I consider news. One feature will allow you to customize what you see on your feed. There's even a setting to see just posts from pages you've liked. This could help or hurt us in regards to the Who Asked You? page. I explain on the show. Only time will tell if we 'like' the new Facebook.
Not too many folks are liking Electronic Arts right now. Their botched launch of the new SIMCITY created quite a commotion. Not only did Amazon briefly pull the download version from their site after hundreds of negative reviews, but the always-on Internet connection requirement that caused most players' problems prompted the launch of a Change.org petition to get EA to turn off the feature. In a nutshell, too many people tried to log on at once and EA's servers got overloaded. That meant a lot of players couldn't play the game at all, and those who could experienced bugs, slowdowns and missing data from saved games. It's so bad the company's CEO is offering those who bought SIMCITY a credit for a FREE game on any future title.
And a segment we haven't done in awhile returns with a new intro sound! I 'chanced-upon' a rather interesting site that sells scented candles. Big deal right? Well, these candles are for men. And they smell like manly things. One whiff of these bad boys and your chest hair will puff right up to Burt Reynolds status. Scents include sawdust, stripper, whiskey and even campfire. The company, Hotwicks, says you can combine candles to make custome aromas. For example combine the beer, grass and campfire candles to make camping trip! But there's two candles that we're not quite sold on. Tune-in to hear what they are.

I was shooting video of the event and as I was wondering the aisles looking for interesting things to point my lens at, I bumped into the one and only Art Mann! Made my day! What a cool guy he is. You'll hear all about it on today's show. I've also got a story to tell about the ribbon cutting ceremony for the convention. CeeLo Green was on hand to operate the golden scissors, but the real story worth sharing on our show was the conversation taking place over my shoulder between two photographers. Tune in to hear all about it.
We got a rather disturbing story from a listener involving a crazy woman killing five of her neighbors because they wouldn't befriend her on Facebook. She pretty much stacked evidence against herself leaving calling cards on the victims and even clearly stating on her profile that she'd kill anyone who didn't accept her friend request.
Being the chatty Kathy's we are this week I forgot to read the poll results from last time. This works out, because the We Ask You Poll question was about Facebook. We wondered if they should just leave their site alone and stop changing it. They've got an all-new design coming soon. Around 66% of you couldn't care less as you're over Facebook. The remaining 34% say to just leave it alone.
At this point we've burned up a good chunk of the show. Uncertain what we'll have time for, I skip the New Releases long enough to tell you about Netflix's new deal with Warner Bros. and Turner. We've got details on several animated shows on their way to the streaming service.
You'll also get more details on an old game. And I don't just mean from me reading the news to you. Literally, you'll see more detail in Capcom's DUCK TALES video game as the company has remastered it in HD with all new backgrounds from the show's artists, some new content and even a remastered soundtrack that includes some of the cartoon's original voice talent.
Okay, we got enough time, now I jump back to the New Releases. Our final flick on the list is actually an old children's program from Japan. Like many shows in Japan, it involves a giant robot. And like any children's show that involves a giant robot, it is indeed controlled by a child. But there's more to this show than that. It's a perfect example of the differences in broadcast standards for a kid's show not just between the decades, but also the countries.
And finally in Breaking News we've got a woman whose soundbite joins the ranks of Sweet Brown and Antoine Dodson. Followed by its Auto-Tune remix. And as always, it wouldn't be a Who Asked You? without a penis story. Gents, if you meet a hooker online and feed her Applebees, beer and drugs, don't let her near your junk.

No prank here. Listen in as I explain why I went to bed the morning of our Sunday netcast at 6am. The story also explains that stack of shot glasses you can find in our TwitPic feed.

Only one of the new DVDs listed today is a faker. Surprisingly, the guys didn't call it out. Don't be fooled like they were!
What we all can only hope is an April Fool's prank, is this first story of the night. By now you've all heard of 'bronies' right? These are grown men who have a disturbing fascination with the MY LITTLE PONY toys and cartoons. You don't have to go far on sites like DeviantArt to find the creepy devotion these dudes have to their equestrian obsessions. Believe it or not, some of them draw elaborate scenes of the ponies engaging in sexual deviance. Many of the ponies are painted with anatomical accuracy. And if that's not enough, take the guy in today's story... he wrote an angry E-Mail to one of these artists demanding he stop creating pictures of one, Twilight Sparkle, a purple pony the man claims with which he's engaged to be wed. He doesn't like this guy drawing his "Twiley" in such compromising poses. He explains in great detail, which we talk about a little bit, about how she - A FUCKING CARTOON! - is represented in real life by a custom made plush toy that he cuddles and kisses. And although he doesn't mention it, I'm sure he fucks it and it's fur is probably crusty in some spots if you catch my drift. You thinkin' this is an April Fool's joke yet? God I hope so.
It's no secret that the Chinese love their tea. And like the skat from a civet cat used to brew coffee, they've got a tea made from the manure of something much much smaller... caterpillars.

Food can be a weapon. A finely sharpened carrot could stab somebody. A frozen chicken breast could be used to bludgeon. But what about a triangular flapjack? Before you jump to whether or not we're fooling you, hear all the flap facts.
And lastly, everybody loves a wedding. A happy couple, lots of food, booze, dancing and cake! Now imagine some nudity thrown into the festivities. Even better, nudity from a stranger! That's not good at all actually. Especially on grandma's weak heart. She's got the best view from the bride's side of the exposed sausage pressed firmly against the window. What makes this story 'unbelievable' is the flasher's name.
Stories aside there's plenty of other foolin' around on today's show. According to the ErrorFM chat room, Jabari would make a great little league coach. And hear about Dennis' fascination, not with ponies, but with wolves, as he stumbles upon a story about one in particular bent on escaping Yellowstone Nation Park.
As I mentioned, next week there will be a new show, just not live on Sunday evening. Download it Monday at 3pm/PT as usual. The live stuff returns April 14th. See you fools then!]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1720471/episode-245-wolf-27/Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:55:37 +0000Chasecom MediaHappy April Fool's Day everyone. Hopefully you pulled a fast one on somebody you know. Hopefully they didn't punch you in the throat or otherwise cease associating with you. I'm gonna be honest, this year's show is half-assed... as compared to other...Like my CeeLo Green story from last week, I've got another intriguing tale to tell. No prank here. Listen in as I explain why I went to bed the morning of our Sunday netcast at 6am. The story also explains that stack of shot glasses you can find in our TwitPic feed. Trust me though, it goes deeper than just binge drinking. I perhaps made a new friend??? Question mark.
Only one of the new DVDs listed today is a faker. Surprisingly, the guys didn't call it out. Don't be fooled like they were!
What we all can only hope is an April Fool's prank, is this first story of the night. By now you've all heard of 'bronies' right? These are grown men who have a disturbing fascination with the MY LITTLE PONY toys and cartoons. You don't have to go far on sites like DeviantArt to find the creepy devotion these dudes have to their equestrian obsessions. Believe it or not, some of them draw elaborate scenes of the ponies engaging in sexual deviance. Many of the ponies are painted with anatomical accuracy. And if that's not enough, take the guy in today's story... he wrote an angry E-Mail to one of these artists demanding he stop creating pictures of one, Twilight Sparkle, a purple pony the man claims with which he's engaged to be wed. He doesn't like this guy drawing his "Twiley" in such compromising poses. He explains in great detail, which we talk about a little bit, about how she - A FUCKING CARTOON! - is represented in real life by a custom made plush toy that he cuddles and kisses. And although he doesn't mention it, I'm sure he fucks it and it's fur is probably crusty in some spots if you catch my drift. You thinkin' this is an April Fool's joke yet? God I hope so.
It's no secret that the Chinese love their tea. And like the skat from a civet cat used to brew coffee, they've got a tea made from the manure of something much much smaller... caterpillars. The bug poop tea is just one of many varieties of fermented teas they call Pu-erh (pronounced poo-air). This one is cleverly named, Poo Poo Pu-erh. See what they did there? Like this turd-tea, the story may be hard to swallow. Find out if it's the real deal!

And hear about Dennis' fascination,...]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-246-that-was-painfulThen I started thinking just before writing this... maybe I should stop pointing out when we do a sucky show. You the listener may not even pick up on it. After all, they all suck, right? HA HA HA! Joking aside, I'm on the fence as to whether this is the worst episode we've ever done. Probably not. We did have some fun, and skimming through it we were laughing a lot. The rundown was pretty scarce and toward the end Dennis started sweatin' me over the time pointing at his wrist. Usually I'm sad when the closing music cues, but tonight I, and the fellas were relieved. We'd done it. We'd stretched like crazy, and me, having only gotten two hours of sleep the night before - remember this was recorded last week, that's why it's mentioned on that show too - I was ready to go home and lose consciousness.
So the train-wreck-of-a-show we have this week includes the following... confirmation came in that another VACATION movie is in the works. As of now, it's called VACATION. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are going to appear in the film as Clark and Ellen Griswald. I say 'appear' because it's unclear how big of a role they'll have as the film will focus on Rusty, their son, as he takes his own family on a road trip across the country which includes a stop at his parents' place. Now that there's another headed our way, we wonder, what's your favorite VACATION movie? It's our poll question this week.
So, lets say you're unsure you can pass an upcoming drug test for reasons that are your own business. What are you to do? You'll be glad you tuned into this week's episode, because we've got an elaborate, expensive and semi-realistic solution sure to complicate the shit - or piss in this case - out of the whole process. A guy was busted during a drug test after the parole officer administering it noticed something a little odd about the guy's dick. It looked a little plastic; because it was. You see, the guy was using a device called The Whizzinator. You can take a look for yourself in the Show Links. As always, we here at Who Asked You? are happy to bring you a dick story of some sort and this one is a stretch. This device comes complete with a pouch to hold real or fake urine (fake urine powder packet included) and straps around your waist via Velcro. That pouch feeds a tube that is inside a simple flaccid penis you whip out to fool your parole officer. It even includes a heat packet for the fake stuff so you get that realistic temperature. Wait until you hear what happened to the guy who invented the thing and what it's being sold as now.
We're back on Jenkem Watch with a question you may have thought of in the past. Can we eat our own poop? After we hear the surprising answer from some scientists and a doctor, we discuss scenarios where this could be a real dilemma and whether or not we would if forced into the situation. Would you?
And the poopy-puns run wild with a second story in Jenkem Watch about a novelty gag that tortured court employees for nearly two weeks. We fill a little airtime with the usual juvenile ad-libbing.
Then we hear from a douche bag on YouTube who thinks we all have flabby bodies and repulsive nipples. Is this guy for real? Or is he just doing this to get his views up on YouTube?
And in Breaking News we question the morality of the latest Powerball Jackpot winner. He won $338-million, one of the biggest in the history of the lottery. However, he owes $29,000 in back child support. State law where he lives says those back payments will be taken out of his winnings. But the question is, should he have been spending money, no matter how little, on lottery tickets in the first place? But at the same time, had he not won Powerball, he wouldn't have the money to pay it all. Is this one of those chicken and the egg type scenarios?
And in an attempt to fill the final minutes of the show we violate copyright law (I'll claim Fair Use) with "Stuff from the 90s," a song by a musical sketch comedy group called Pop Roulette. Check out their Facebook Page and the music video in our Show Links. Before you listen to the show, can you guess who got us on the topic of growing up in the 90s? Find out if you're right at the end of the show!
Whew! Writing this wasn't as painful as the show. Maybe I'm overreacting? Maybe it's not as bad as I think. Maybe you guys don't even notice when we're struggling? Perhaps I should just stop mentioning the bad shows. Naw... we're all about the truth here. We call out Michael Bay and the rest of the shit out there. It's only fair we do it with ourselves too.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1726020/episode-246-that-was-painful/Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:18:33 +0000Chasecom MediaMy god this episode is a mess.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT has been expanded to 15 episodes and the premier date has been set for March 26th. There's even some new characters making their debut played by some interesting characters themselves. I can't wait!
We grieve over the news that Disney has decided to close LucasArts. They fired 150 people working there and this week, to Mike's dismay, they've also wiped out their hand-drawn animation department. The few animators left are either taking a pay cut or are being bought out of their remaining contract. As for LucasArts, the mouse house says they want to turn it into a distribution and licensing brand for video games rather than one that develops them. The closing means the cancellation of two STAR WARS games that were in the works. Another dagger in Mike's heart is the cancellation of a Henry Selick stop-motion feature film that had just started shooting. It's untitled and Selick has been given the option to take it to another studio. This will likely delay it's October release date though if it even gets picked up by someplace else.
Jabari story number one: Many shows ago we introduced you to a gentleman who cooks with semen. You may remember his cookbook, "Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-based Recipes." Well, that fellow, whose name is Paul "Fotie" Photenhauer, has written another book about making drinks with man milk. Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the word cocktails doesn't it? "Semenology: The Semen Bartender's Handbook" asks the question, why is it taboo to consume semen outside of the bedroom? It also brings up the question, are there really semen bartenders? How does one get into such a niche profession? Just like we did with the recipe book, we debate whether or not we'd want/could/should drink booze with boner butter in it. Where do you stand on this? Let us know.
Jabari story number two: Thou shalt not steal. That's one of several commandments the Catholic Church pushes. But it appears that doesn't necessarily apply to digital downloads. Like 75% of the rest of the connected world, there are some in the church that visit the Bureau of Acquisitions for a little Hollywood entertainment. TorrentFreak, after hearing about preists in Ireland watching illegal copies of Oscar screeners every week, decided to do a little snooping on Vatican City's IP activity and made a rather startling discovery. For the most part, the country of nearly 800 doesn't really download much. A couple TV shows, some old movies, a song or two... but there was something else in their torrent cue, BDSM videos including Russian slave porn and even some of the transexual variety. There's no evidence that it was priests doing the downloading. A lot of non-holy folks have access to computers within the Vatican. Speculation online is that it could be some bored Swiss Guard officers. We're all human, but these downloads seem a little hypocritical on a number of levels. We discuss them on today's show.
And in the final moments of the netcast we bring you Breaking News from Target.com. Their whimsical names for dress colors has gotten them in a little hot water. Well actually, warm water, about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, around 20 feet deep to be exact. That's the ideal conditions for the sea cow, or Manatee as it's more properly known. A plus-sized dress on the retailer's website was labeled as "Manatee Gray" while the standard size was called "Dark Heather." Whether this was a little joke between the staffers in the web department, ill-worded information provided by the dress manufacturer or an honest mistake... it's funny as shit! We ask the question, are people being too sensitive about it? You're more than welcome to 'weigh' in on this.
All in all this is a pretty good show. Makin' up for last week's less than stellar recording. You can't go wrong with stories about spooge and porn. Especially when they involve eating it and the Vatican City respectively.

We make fun of Ryan Lochte for a minute, Dog the Bounty Hunter and his busty wife Beth and we decide to run for office on the show.

Something else actually happening is the remake of the 1985 classic, WEIRD SCIENCE starring Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith. The announcement just came down, so there's no cast, director or release date yet. But Joel Silver, who worked on the original, is producing the re-imaging. They say the comedy will be different from the first. It'll be much more 'edgier' like THE HANGOVER. We've got some thoughts on this.
The movie theater business has a lot of acronyms. You've got NATO, UDITOA, CBG and DCI just to name a few.

And the results of a new study tell us what we already knew. The size of a dude's junk DOES matter. At least, in Australia it does. Scientists there polled just over 100 women showing them computer generated male figures with flaccid penises. The figures, gray in color and completely featureless, ranged in height, weight, proportion and... length. In all, women liked a guy with a good shoulder-to-hip ratio. Women who were taller also preferred a taller fella. But those aren't the only results they came up with.
Also in Australia, Durex, the condom company, is working on some pretty high-tech undies. Called Fundawear, the undergarments are still in development. They feature small vibrating actuators strategically placed within the fabric that are controlled by an iPhone app. There's a bra and panties for her and a pair of boxer briefs for him. The app is touch and pressure sensitive, so the more and harder you press, the more your partner is going to feel it. We run wild with a number of scenarios involving the Fundawear. Don't miss it!

I finally got the chance to unveil our STAR TREK-themed open. I'd been holding onto it, waiting for the perfect time to debut it. And this week was it! I went to a Fathom Event last Thursday featuring a screening of the most famous of TNG episodes, "The Best of Both Worlds". In celebration of the series being remastered on Blu-ray they re-edited the two-parter into a feature length film and presented it along with a behind-the-scenes documentary and a blooper reel. I knew I'd be flapping my jaw about it on the show, so I made a few notes - good and bad - as I watched the stunning HD version of my all-time favorite TV show and I share them today.
And we're pleased to inform you all that Twinkies WILL be back. We were certain they would be. Such an iconic brand will not go quietly into the night. In early March, Hostess was purchased by Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Company. They paid $410-million... that's a lotta dough for some dough. The new owners also own Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Vlasic Pickles. Lets hope Twinkies don't go hipster, or they come out with cream filled pickles. Although, there may be an untapped market of pregnant ladies that would be all over that... the pickles, not the beer. Anyway, Hostess plans to reopen its Kansas bakery along with those in Georgia, Indiana and Illinois. They hope to have the flagship junk food back on store shelves by July.
Gwyneth Paltrow has been named People Magazine's most beautiful woman of 2013. As you can imagine, this drums up quite a bit of discussion on the show. We love lists and the ladies, and we love picking shit apart when we don't agree with it. This is one of those times. We're confused as to what the qualifications are for this list. Who decides who goes on it? My guess is a late night staff meeting at People headquarters fueled by room temperature coffee and mediocre Chinese takeout makes up the panel of judges. This leads to a question of who else is on this list.
While Dennis works to find said list, we move on to news that Nintendo is releasing a sequel to THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST. Now for those of you who grew up on a Super Nintendo, you know this game. In my opinion, it is the best Zelda game out there. Full disclosure, I've only played two others and that new Zelda mini-game that comes with the Wii U. The game will be available on the 3DS and will take full advantage of the stereoscopic screen sure to blur your vision or make you barf all over your couch. This story gets very little commentary as Dennis reverts back to the People Magazine one after finding the top-10 list online. On the list is Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. Charlie evidently had never seen her and seemed quite smitten with her.
Sad news from Comedy Central. They've decided not to renew FUTURAMA for another season. Apparently they'd rather use that chunk of the budget for their other quality programming like, THE JESELNIK OFFENSIVE. Creator Matt Groening and David X. Cohen the executive producer seem cool with the cancellation. They're just happy the show was revived for a few more seasons. And Groening holds out some hope. They plan to shop the show around to other channels.
And that's perfect because FX is in the market for new animated shows. They're owned by Fox just like FUTURAMA so it's a natural fit! I guess we'll see what happens. FX does have a new animated show produced by Seth Rogen on the way. It's based on Bigfoot's memoirs. Yep, you read that right. Tune-in for the details!
Finally, last week we talked about Fundawear, the vibrating underwear you can control from your iPhone. Now we've got another company making women's underwear for men. Yep, you read that right too. HommeMystere thinks there's a market for men who want to wear ladies lingerie. And they're right. The website, available in the Show Links, is bizarre to say the least. The teddies and panties and G-Strings are very feminine looking coming with lace trim and in colors like purple and pink, but scroll down and you'll notice they've been tailored to 'accommodate' a man. The site is full of images of male models nonchalantly posing in the nighties and also has a promotional video where a man puts one on under his normal clothes and even stands next to his girlfriend where they compare their panties in the mirror. This raises a lot of questions, but there's only time for one on this show... who has ever tried on the opposite sex's underwear? Guess who in our group has done this?

And this week was it! I went to a Fathom Event last Thursday featuring a screening of the most famous of TNG episodes, "The Best of Both Worlds". In celebration of the series being remastered on Blu-ray they re-edited the two-parter into a feature length film and presented it along with a behind-the-scenes documentary and a blooper reel. I knew I'd be flapping my jaw about it on the show, so I made a few notes - good and bad - as I watched the stunning HD version of my all-time favorite TV show and I share them today.
And we're pleased to inform you all that Twinkies WILL be back. We were certain they would be. Such an iconic brand will not go quietly into the night. In early March, Hostess was purchased by Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Company. They paid $410-million... that's a lotta dough for some dough. The new owners also own Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Vlasic Pickles. Lets hope Twinkies don't go hipster, or they come out with cream filled pickles. Although, there may be an untapped market of pregnant ladies that would be all over that... the pickles, not the beer. Anyway, Hostess plans to reopen its Kansas bakery along with those in Georgia, Indiana and Illinois. They hope to have the flagship junk food back on store shelves by July.
Gwyneth Paltrow has been named People Magazine's most beautiful woman of 2013. As you can imagine, this drums up quite a bit of discussion on the show. We love lists and the ladies, and we love picking shit apart when we don't agree with it. This is one of those times. We're confused as to what the qualifications are for this list. Who decides who goes on it? My guess is a late night staff meeting at People headquarters fueled by room temperature coffee and mediocre Chinese takeout makes up the panel of judges. This leads to a question of who else is on this list.
While Dennis works to find said list, we move on to news that Nintendo is releasing a sequel to THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST. Now for those of you who grew up on a Super Nintendo, you know this game. In my opinion, it is the best Zelda game out there. Full disclosure, I've only played two others and that new Zelda mini-game that comes with the Wii U. The game will be available on the 3DS and will take full advantage of the stereoscopic screen sure to blur your vision or make you barf all over your couch. This story gets very little commentary as Dennis reverts back to the People Magazine one after finding the top-10 list online. On the list is Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. Charlie evidently had never seen her and seemed quite smitten with her.
Sad news from Comedy Central. They've decided not to renew FUTURAMA for another season. Apparently they'd rather use that chunk of the budget for their other quality programming like, THE JESELNIK OFFENSIVE. Creator Matt Groening and David X. Cohen the executive producer seem cool with the cancellation. They're just happy the show was revived for a few more seasons. And Groening holds out some hope. They plan to shop the show around to other channels.
And that's perfect because FX is in the market for new animated shows. They're owned by Fox just like FUTURAMA so it's a natural fit! I guess we'll see what happens. FX does have a new animated show produced by Seth Rogen on the way. It's based on Bigfoot's memoirs. Yep, you read that right. Tune-in for the details!
Finally, last week we talked about Fundawear, the vibrating underwear you can control from your iPhone. Now we've got another...]]>3601comedy,entertainment,news,podcast,popcultureyesfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/whoaskedyoushow/episode-250-dont-tell-mom-the-babysitterDennis, Jabari and I beamed into the free midnight movie put on by local Vegas comic shop, Maximum Comics and the AMC Theaters formerly known as Rave. This month they showed STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN. It seems I jumped the phaser when I said TNG's "Best of Both Worlds" Fathom event would be the last time I saw REAL STAR TREK on the big screen. And given it was in theaters in 1982, none of us were born yet so it was a great opportunity to see one of the highest regarded Treks in a theater.
This coincides nicely with news that several of the Alpha Quadrants best colognes are back at the STAR TREK website. They include three scents for the fellas - Tiberius, Sulu and Red Shirt. And for the ladies, Pon Farr.
We've got two listener voice messages this week. Keep 'em coming everybody. We love hearing from you, literally. One poses some pet questions in the form of song and the other makes a few requests. We're more than happy to oblige.
The New DVD Releases this week are nothing to write home about. The show is a little slow getting started and these lackluster titles coming Tuesday don't help much.
We pick up steam though with our first story of the night, Amazon Originals! The company (with which we're an associate) has launched AmazonOriginals.com. And on the site they're showing off all 14 of the pilots for exclusive shows produced by their internal production studio. I list a few of them and talk for a bit about the three I watched. They're available to stream for free to Amazon Prime customers.
These shows are the first step toward a much bigger TV presence by Amazon. There's news that the online retailer is putting together its own set-top box. Not sure what it'll look like or how big it'll be, but hopefully it'll stack nicely on top of your Roku, Apple TV, Boxee, WD Play and whatever two of the three game consoles you likely own. We're all big Amazon.com fans, but this just seems unnecessary. Do we really need ANOTHER streaming box? After all, there's already an Amazon channel on the Roku. And I'm sure some of these other devices and smart TVs have one too. On the other hand, this could offer some interesting integration. Imagine shopping Amazon on your TV. Buying products shown in movies with a quick click of the remote. These ideas displease Charlie. You'll hear all about it. And we want to hear from you. Would you be interested in buying an Amazon streaming box? Vote now on the We Ask You Poll and we'll have the results on next week's show.
This talk of Amazon shows and Amazon-branded set-tops launches an entirely new conversation. Kids and their parents using TV as a babysitter. Kids and their inability to work a device. Parents and their inability to teach the kids how to work said device. The amount of kid friendly content on services like Netflix. All of this is covered. By the way, there is a ton of kids' content on Netflix. Parents just need to take a minute and learn how to access it. In the midst of this discussion we also learn what would happen when you told Dennis' dad that you were bored as a kid.
Fast food comes up a lot on this show. Sometimes in a good light, usually in a bad one. And this is one of those bad ones. Comedy Central's TOSH.0 Blog posted a list of some of the most disgusting menu items from well known chains around the world. From pizzas with hot dog crust, to what looks like a Little Debbie Snack Pie filled with tuna. There's something for everyone... to be grossed out by. I pose the question to the guys, of all the items on the list, which would you eat if there was a gun to your head.
And in Breaking News we meet a man who eats something even less appetizing than the shit on that fast food list. And we meet a man who blew through all of his life savings and has nothing to show for it but a racist stuffed banana.

Again, the show itself is intact, no glitches or dropped portions. Just not the full hour.

Like most blogs, vlogs, streams and podcasts this week, we talk about the Xbox One announcement. But since all the other guys are doing it, we thought we'd be the cool kids (minus the Abercrombie and Fitch clothes) and not spend an entire show on it. We only do that when berating JJ Abrams' STAR TREK. There are a lot of things to consider with this new Microsoft rig. It's clear the company DOES NOT listen to its user base and is on a mission to lock us all into a specific path of cloud-stored content you buy but don't own, the need for the box to be hooked up to an expensive high-speed Internet connection at all times and shouting and gesturing at your TV trying to launch the YouTube app until you work up a sweat and flop down on your sofa defeated. Gamers are turned off by paying a premium price for a box that does way more than they want it to. And without a stripped down game console-only version, we're all stuck coughing up $500 or $600 for something that we'll end up only using about a tenth of the functionality and isn't really backward compatible with the games we already own! And then there's this business of not being able to take YOUR game YOU paid for to a friend's place and playing on their Xbox without having to pay a fee. And there's even more to consider. You'll hear a lot of it on today's show.
Then comes the skew. Dennis starts to make a point regarding the new Xbox with an example from SIDE BY SIDE, a documentary Keanu Reeves produced about Hollywood's transition from film to digital. It takes him awhile to get to the point as we skew off the skew into projection and how Charlie repaired an old reel of SCROOGED while working at a drive-in theater. I'll be honest, I drifted in and out, but I do know eventually Dennis makes his point.
That eats up more of the show than I thought it would which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It sends us into a sort of lightning round and we breeze right on through the rest of the rundown only omitting the aforementioned new releases.
Everybody loves Michael J. Fox right? Of course they do. But we've got some concerns about his new comedy coming this Fall to NBC. Fox plays a veteran news anchor at channel 4 in New York City who is forced to leave his job after being diagnosed with... you guessed it... Parkinson's Disease. After driving his family nuts for a few years, he decides to go back to work and hilarity ensues! Even though the show is on NBC, and I swore I'd never watch the network again after what they did to Conan, I hope the show works out and I may check it out. With that said, we play its trailer and I tally all of the Parkinson's jokes made within the roughly three-minute clip. We're a little put off by how many there are. If the trailer is any indication of the show's tone, it seems it's going to be one continuously running jitter-joke. We get it Mike, you have Parkinson's. Lets hope the show doesn't just focus on that.
The profession of police officer dominates three of our stories this week. COPS is moving to SpikeTV. After 24-years of blurred faces and bleeped dialogue Fox has had enough and decided not to renew one of its original shows that launched with the network in the 80s.
Also, Robocop is getting his statue. After a successful Kickstarter run, Imagination Station went to work sculpting a ten-foot tall memorial to the mechanized Murphy. They'll soon start the bronzing stage and then its time to figure out where the hell to put it. When the project first made its rounds on the web back in 2011, Detroit's city officials weren't too keen on the idea and I don't think their position has changed. We'll keep you up-to-date.
And TIMECOP is getting rebooted by Universal Studios without Jean-Claude Van Damme. Annnd our interest is gone. Moving along...
If you were a fan of Agent Phil Coulson and was saddened by his death in Joss Whedon's THE AVENGERS, you'll be happy to know he's alive and well! Don't get mad that I just 'spoilered' you... ABC's AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. divulges this information in the commercial promoting the series which just got a season order.
And finally, in Breaking News an investigation by NBC 4 in New York, you know, the station Michael J. Fox works for in his new sitcom, did some investigating at a local senior living complex and uncovered some disturbing behavior. We're not talking about neglect and bed sores this time, but rather prostitution and drug abuse! A 75-year-old man and his 66-year-old female neighbor were arrested for prostitution and drug possession. He was apparently running a prostitution ring involving young women as well as senior sirens from within the complex and she was offering up crack cocaine out of her apartment to the clientele. Stick around for the details on this.
And Microsoft may have screwed up with the Xbox One, but they did do something right over at their search engine, Bing. They've added Klingon to their translator! You can now translate just about any word or phrase into Klingonese (as it was called in the original series) and you have the option of displaying it in Terran or in traditional Qo'noS scribe. It's in the Show Links so give it a try and translate this: Hogh veb qalegh!]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1768811/episode-251-another-box-to-prostitute/Mon, 27 May 2013 21:58:37 +0000Chasecom MediaThe new releases, as usual, are listed below but they are not on this week's show.

The question of what Amazon Studios pilots will get series orders has been answered. The online retailer announced last week that ALPHA HOUSE and BETAS are getting season orders along with several kids shows. Both of those shows I did not watch.

How deep is the barrel of despair with which Hollywood ladles out the big screen slop they call movies these days? That question's answer? Really fucking deep. Like, bottomless pit leads to other dimension deep. You've probably heard by now that Grumpy Cat, the frowning feline seen in all those silly little memes, is getting a movie. The cat is real and the images are not Photoshopped with the exception of the clever captions you always see on them. The cat, whose real name is Tartar Sauce, even has a manager. It's believed the movie will be similar to the live-action GARFIELD they made back in 2004. It's also believed, by us, that this is kinda pathetic of Hollywood. Are we resorting to finding inspiration for multi-million dollar movies on our Facebook feeds? The answer to that question is... YES!

And why not hold on the shot for a little longer? Film editor, Vashi Nedomansky did a little research and came up with the average shot length of some big name directors. Woody Allen likes to stay on one shot for almost 18-seconds! While Spielberg lets his role for about 6-seconds. But there are some directors who can't even stay on one shot for that long. You'll hear who cuts the quickest on today's episode.
The show gets a little serious as Charlie and Dennis get into it over vacation time at work. A new study from the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that America is the ONLY country out of the top 21 economically advanced nations that DOES NOT require employees to provide vacation time to workers. Australia's government for example, requires businesses to provide their employees with at least 35 days off each year! And other countries like France, Italy and Belgium aren't far behind. But 'Merica has no such requirement. As you can probably guess, Charlie agrees with that. Dennis, Jabari and myself (Mike is out again this week) do not. A rested employee who is not stressed is a happy productive employee. And although many US companies voluntarily offer PTO, it's usually two weeks or less per year, comes with a catch or many places don't offer it at all to those who work part time or haven't been with the company for a certain amount of time. A new bill from Congressman Alan Grayson hopes to change that. Should paid vacation from employers be required in the USA? Send us an E-Mail or voice message and tell us what you think.
Two Tampa cops seemed to be taking their vacations while on duty! In Breaking News we learn that the officers pretended to be "working in the field" but were actually boozin' it up at a local strip club where they spent almost their entire shift before supervisors caught on. Not only did one of the drunk officers get belligerent in the parking lot with his fellow PD pals, but both were sent hope without reprimand or any sort of investigation. And it wasn't even brought up until the start of the following week.
And there's just enough time for us to go on Jenkem Watch. In Indianapolis, an Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance office got a special delivery back after sending their junk mail advertisements to one resident who'd had enough. The mailers were addressed to the unidentified recipient's dog. So they mailed dog shit back to the insurance office. The ironic part is, unsolicited, nonstop, obnoxious junk mail isn't considered 'harassment by mail', but sticking a dog log in an envelope is? This goes both ways. Stop sending your crap to me and I'll stop sending mine to you. Only in America I suppose. If we'd get a little vacation time every once in awhile maybe we wouldn't be so testy and go mailing off dog shit to everyone.]]>https://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1780710/episode-253-say-no-to-dafoe/Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:50:33 +0000Chasecom MediaDo you want to see Willem Dafoe naked and fully penetrating his female co-star?

In Breaking News we learn that the officers pretended to be "working in the field" but were actually boozin' it up at a local strip club where they spent almost their entire shift before supervisors caught on. Not only did one of the drunk officers get belligerent in the parking lot with his fellow PD pals, but both were sent hope without reprimand or any sort of investigation. And it wasn't even brought up until the start of the following week.
And there's just enough time for us to go on Jenkem Watch. In Indianapolis, an Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance office got a special delivery back after sending their junk mail advertisements to one resident who'd had enough. The mailers were addressed to the unidentified recipient's dog. So they mailed dog shit back to the insurance office.

For the first time in a long time Apple wasn't the 'talk of the town' so to speak during their WWDC conference. Instead, it was overshadowed by the whole Xbox One vs PS4 fiasco. Don't worry though, we make time to cover both. Once E3 is out of the way we get into what Apple is working on.

But what really caught my attention was the new Mac Pro desktop. This long neglected branch of the Apple product tree has undergone a radical makeover. It looks like a black, shiny coffee grinder. At an eighth the size of the previous Mac Pro its cylindrical design is meant to keep it cool as Apple has designed a new thermal core to chill the powerful hardware inside. The last update to the desktop brought complaints that there weren't enough expansion slots or a Blu-ray drive.

I don't use the service, but I already knew of it and what I chanced upon was a new product they're offering, buttwipes for men. They're called One Wipe Charlie's and they're infused with what sounds like ingredients for cookies and are lightly scented so your ass crack will be clean, moisturized and smell like mint.

To a certain extent, when a new product comes out and there's negative feedback, a company can absorb that and go about their daily business with a, "If you don't like it, tough shit" attitude. But at some point the backlash can be too much to ignore. Such is the case here. I think there were just too many angry gamers and shit-talkin' online for Microsoft to ignore. And of course, they spin it by claiming they're "listening to our feedback" but we know what's really going on here... they thought they could get away with it, but were called out on it.

Paula Deen wasn't the only famous face to get shit-canned this week. Shailene Woodley who'd been cast as Mary Jane Watson in Marc Webb's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, got cut from the film after shooting just a few scenes. Webb says he felt Peter Parker's love life was complicated enough and wanted to streamline the story. But the fact that the role of MJ will be recast for the third film leads one to believe that perhaps Woodley wasn't very good? Or just didn't fit the part? Whatever the reasoning, Spidey-fans will have to wait until 2016 to see Peter's favorite redhead on screen.
And the deep-voiced, snazzy-dressed spokesman (and founder) of Men's Wearhouse, George Zimmer was abruptly fired by the company's board of director's this past week. Try that on for size... the guy gets fired from the company he started! We were immediately reminded of Norman Ozborn. Hopefully Zimmer doesn't dawn any green armor and go on a killing rampage. Although, his costume would likely be very well tailored.
And Japan seems to always be on the forefront of kink. "Worming" seems to be a growing trend in the country's schools. And it's a growing concern to eye doctor's as well. You see, worming is the act of licking someone's eyeball for pleasure. As you can imagine this could lead to a number of health issues, and it has. Several students came down with pink eye as a result of worming. I wonder, what does an eyeball taste like. Well, I wonder a lot of things about this story. I'll never know though because I will probably never lick someone's eye. At least, not on purpose or for free.

But first, we gotta talk about a story we didn't have time to get to last week: the art of seducing the ladies. You may have heard of a little website called Kickstarter? It allows people to raise money for their products, ideas and projects via crowd-funding. One project that got funded recently was a "seduction guide" written by a dude who doles out this kind of advice regularly on Reddit. He decided to write a book containing his sensual suggestions and the reaction was mixed. Many felt his instructions of being direct and somewhat forceful with the females could lead a fella to the slammer. Meanwhile, one author wanting to launch her own feminist seduction guide sided with him saying his advice, out of context, could be construed the wrong way by the wrong people. Not only that, but he surpassed his $2,000 goal raising $16,000! So somebody out there wants this book. In the end, Kickstarter only had a couple of hours to respond to the complaints before his campaign finished. He got his fundind (i.e. the money went through) and there was nothing Kickstarter could do about it. Listen to some of the quotes from his book on today's show and tell us what you think. Send us an E-Mail or voice message. We'd love to hear from ya!
Okay, now back to the X-Men hentai porn. I solidify my spot in hell with a Nightcrawler joke. And we briefly run through a list of other Marvel characters that should and shouldn't be in some hentai while concurrently rambling off food puns relating to the seduction guide story. We're multi-taskers here at the Who Asked You? show.
About the only time SESAME STREET comes up on our raunch-fest of a webcast is when Mike, our resident childrens' programming expert, brings it up. However, this time, it made the rundown because a new character named Alex debuted on the show and he's got a secret. One you wouldn't expect a muppet on PBS to have. Tune in to hear what it is, but the crew and I are all in agreement, it's a sign of the times and it's about time SESAME STREET addressed the issue... and no, Alex is not gay. That's what Burt and Ernie are for.
We all hate reality TV... those of us with a functioning brain anyway. There are two reality shows that debuted this month. One involves movies and an 80s action star. And the other involves nudity. No wonder they made our radar. We'll start with the nudity one. The show is called NAKED AND AFRAID and it's Discovery Channel's lowest point yet. A network that cancels good, informational and entertaining shows like DIRTY JOBS but then greenlights this bullshit has no place on the cable lineup. They lost their street cred a long time ago in our opinion. The show takes two strangers, takes their clothes and then takes them out into the wild where they must survive in order to win money or something. Of course, the people who are on the show have NO business being naked. You'd think for being self-proclaimed "survivalists" these contestants would keep themselves in better shape. Genitals are censored of course, which after about three seasons will have some poor sole of an intern blowing his or her brains out after years of repeating the mind-numbing task of blurring unkempt junk. It's the subject of our poll question this week. Would you participate in a show like this? Would you strip naked with a complete stranger and live in the woods in hopes of winning money?
The other show is hosted by the one and only, Dolph Lundgren. The contestants are clothed for this one. It's for the ultimate movie fans as it puts them in scenes from their favorite action films. They have to complete physical challenges inspired by the scene then race to the next one. By the way, that's what it's called, RACE TO THE SCENE. I ask of the guys, what movies would NOT be a good fit for this show. The funniest suggestion comes from the chat room!
And the last story of the day leaks out in the final minutes of the show. Depend, makers of adult diapers and leakage pads, has launched a new campaign to educate and sell their protective padding to men. A good chunk of guys suffer from bladder leakage and Depend is depending on MAN CAVE host, Tony Siragusa to sell those guys on the idea of a male Maxi Pad. Will Dennis ever use such a thing if he succumbs to a lil' leaking. Find out on today's program!

I needed it after that trip to Fry's where I attempted to buy an SSD drive. Does Fry's price match Amazon? Yes, they do. But then they turn around and tack sales tax onto it which brings it right back up to the price we started with. I realize all brick and mortar stores do this. And that makes them all stupid. How do they expect to compete by doing that. After sales tax the drive was $18 instead of the original $17 more than if I were to buy it from Amazon. I told the cashier I could get it for less there without sales tax and free shipping. Why on Earth would I come here and pay all that for it? If you're going to price match, MATCH THE FREAKIN' PRICE! Needless to say I left Fry's drive-less and annoyed. Plus, I hit the curb leaving the parking lot which just added to my fury. This really is all a mute point though as Amazon will start charging us sales tax here in Nevada next year. I'll have that damned drive by then, mark my words.
Dennis recently signed up for the Dollar Shave Club which is the website brought up on the show a few episodes back where they send you fresh razors automatically each month.

If you haven't been keeping up with Paula Deen and the web-based shenanigans surrounding her N-word usage, the latest update is that she's been offered a job by a pornography company. Now of course, she's not going to actually do porn, and I think the company recognizes that. So instead, PureMature, a website specializing in MILF videos is asking her to simply be their spokesperson. And they're willing to pay her well too. We all know she's not going to accept . In fact, she probably won't even respond to them at all. Not publicly anyway. But lets be honest... where she's at right now, it would probably be a career booster. In the impossible even that she does one day do porn to pay her bills, we offer up some possible names for the video.
MAN OF STEEL felt like a sequel to MAN OF STEEL. That's why we're a little confused that there's talk on Twitter with Russell Crowe about a MAN OF STEEL prequel. Folks have been twatting at him about reprising his role in a movie that would lead up to the events of the latest Superman. He twatted back that he'd be open to the idea of a Jor-El movie and that if everyone wanted that they should tell Legendary Pictures. Do we, the Who Asked You? Crew want this? Listen and find out.
Remember WebTV? Of course you don't. Like the Microsoft Zune, it was another piece of technology yours truly adopted that never quite caught on. Of course, WebTV came out waaaay before the Zune. But even back then my tastes in tech didn't seem to match most. WebTV was a set top box that allowed you to surf the Internet using your television. It was basically a dial up modem with video and audio outputs. You could get a wireless keyboard for it and shoot people E-Mails from your couch or try desperately to find MPEG porn clips that the damned thing could play. Back then boys and girls, that was about the only video format online. Well, that and RealPlayer. Yuck! Anyway, long story short, Microsoft bought the company and renamed the product MSN TV. And this week, to the dismay of grandmas who got one for Christmas a decade ago and are still using it today, the company sent out a notice that they'll be closing down the service this September. There was such potential for the product, even ten years ago when broadband first started to take hold, but Microsoft neglected it and now there are dozens of better, faster and in some cases, cheaper options out there.
If kids still gave a shit about board games today, a life-sized one might be their dream come true. Since we grew up in an era when they were a big deal, it's a dream come true for us... grown men. Japan is honoring Hasbro's "The Game Of LIFE" by turning its Yoron Island into a giant version of the game. You can pay $5, hop on a bus and make a trip around the island landing on giant 18-square-foot tiles and exchanging LIFE money which at the end you can turn in for real cash and prizes. It's all part of the game's 45th anniversary.
And speaking of milestones, IHOP celebrated one yesterday. It's not a story on the show, I just thought I'd bring up an awesome moment of frugality. You know us, we're always on the lookout for a cheap meal. And you can't get much cheaper than this. For one day only, they were offering short stacks for the original 1955 price of $0.60! We wrapped the show and high-tailed it to the nearest location because, thanks to our shitty economy, most of the Vegas stores aren't 24-hours anymore and the special was ending at 10pm when they closed.

We'll start with racially offensive names. Fox affiliate, KTVU-TV in San Francisco is being sued for airing what it thought were the names of the four pilots involved in the Boeing 777 crash a little over a week ago at that city's airport. But just looking at the names and the order they were in, it's obvious the station had been tricked. A summer intern at the NTSB confirmed the names to the station. The agency says the intern overstepped his authority and shouldn't have done that. Not to mention they were joke names anyway. But this is no excuse. For a major TV news station to not catch this was ridiculous. As someone who has worked in television broadcasting I can tell you that more than one pair of eyes sees a script. And at a station the size of KTVU... at least five or six people had to have read them. A producer, the anchor and even the graphics guy who typed them into the Chyron didn't pick up on the prank? Either they did, and didn't care in the rush to be first with the latest as so many news channels are these days... or employees at channel 2 have absolutely no sense of humor and don't know a joke (offensive or not) when they see one. In any case, Asiana Airlines isn't laughing. The company says the viral video has hurt their reputation, the names were offensive and they plan to sue the station. We ponder all of this on today's show.
At least the news anchor at KTVU-TV knew she was on TV. Two contestants on CBS's BIG BROTHER 15 on the other hand, clearly don't know how that show works. The cameras and microphones are always on... hence the name of the show! So why on Earth were they making racist comments about fellow housemates? The comments, which included derogatory Asian stereotypes and the N-word went out live on the 24/7 webcast and were then the focus of a recent episode. As a result of it all, both contestants have lost their day jobs back in their hometowns.
From racist remarks gone wrong on broadcast TV, we drift into an institution going wrong. Comedy Central continues the 'roasting' of various celebrities. Only it seems like their criteria for who's worthy of the honor is not what it used to be when the New York Friars' Club ran it. We look at a list of those that have gotten roasted since Comedy Central took over and it seems to be about 50/50 on who deserved one. In our opinions anyway. This is all due to the recent announcement by the network that their next target is James Franco. Yeah... James Franco is getting roasted. We can't help but remember when roasts were reserved for comedy legends. I guess now it's more about who's front and center in pop culture.
Then we drift into Jenkem Watch with a few tales of a Peeping Tom inside the toilet! Police being called in over flatulence. And whether it's easier to fart while standing or laying. We don't take them lying down, that's for sure.
And while you're in our heads, we drift into a new segment called "Meanwhile... At Walmart" which focuses on the low-priced leader everyone loves to hate. The store has become a mecca of weirdos, unidentified creatures, bejeweled cars and sloppy people who just plain don't give a fuck. Stories of horrors within the aisles of this place reach coast to coast and are documented in pictures on sites like PeopleOfWalmart.com and in videos on YouTube. And almost as frequently, news stories pop up originating from Wally World. So we'll give it a segment almost as half-assed as the wardrobe found on the crazy lady talking to the Cheez-It display.
Like Jenkem Watch, we've got more than one story to 'check out'. First, if you're ever in an aisle and feel something wet on your leg, it's likely "indicative of semen". And, although it's common sense to use those paper protectors on the toilet seats in public bathrooms, one Walmart shopper was reminded the hard way that being lazy and just ploppin' down on the pot could get you stuck... literally. And then this leads into a conversation about taking a shit naked, sweating while shitting, shitting in public, etc.
I think our drift together has come to an end. After all that, do we really wanna share memories any longer anyway? That's enough for one day. The spoiler master, Dennis is celebrating his birthday. We'll be off next week, but we will drift back in July 28th with more new hilarity.]]>http://www.blubrry.com/who_asked_you/1812603/episode-258-drifting-in-and-out/Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:29:43 +0000Chasecom MediaWe invite you to enter our drift this week. If you haven't seen Guillermo del Toro's PACIFIC RIM yet, you may not get that reference, and you may not want to listen to our short review of the film because Dennis drops a spoiler proving we can not do...We drift in and out of a number of topics today. We'll start with racially offensive names. Fox affiliate, KTVU-TV in San Francisco is being sued for airing what it thought were the names of the four pilots involved in the Boeing 777 crash a little over a week ago at that city's airport. But just looking at the names and the order they were in, it's obvious the station had been tricked. A summer intern at the NTSB confirmed the names to the station. The agency says the intern overstepped his authority and shouldn't have done that. Not to mention they were joke names anyway. But this is no excuse. For a major TV news station to not catch this was ridiculous. As someone who has worked in television broadcasting I can tell you that more than one pair of eyes sees a script.
