Going Terribly
Imagine the most adult children you know – discussing the environmental impact of menstruation cups one minute and making poop jokes the next. That’s Doug and that’s Alice. Two friends who decided to Always Be Recording. He’s a filmmaker, and she’s a college English professor. Their chemistry is accidental. And so is this auditory compendium of their verbal musings. You are invited to join their lighthearted conversational romps through all of life's absurdities.
Episodes
Rejoice! For it's finally time for the 250th episode of Going Terribly! Two-time guest host Will.he.is (who just might be Superman) finally joins both Doug and Alice at the same time as just a GUEST (a significant demotion, but don't tell him).
It's the longest episode ever, and it's back to back, wall to wall, Godball to Godball games. You'll learn so much about crayons, video games, hot dog toppings, Muppe...
Alice just learned that a compliment she received years ago was plagiarized. And Doug believes she may have had a tryst with Cameron Crowe.
Meanwhile, they learn some rather disturbing news about some of America's favorite clothing, footwear, and soda.
Does everything have evil origins?*

The D-Man and A-Girl are in the house!
Alice is out of steroids.

Alice thinks she may be more woman than some dude.
Doug can't stop saying "coochie."
The stage is set.
Witness the chaos.

The episode has a depressing start before finally getting into all the boner and nipple hair talk you've grown to love. Or at least expect. This week Alice gears up to run her annual Summer Playwriting Workshop while Doug discovers he's not a boy, but not quite a man.
Other discussion topics may include:
- What if Dr. Seuss were a podiatrist?
- Mel Brooks vs. Kumar. Fi...
Well, Alice is back. But she's still facing some COVID aftershocks. And now Doug has COVID for the very first time.
No, this is episode isn't coming to you straight from mid-2020.
Alice shares tales from Salt Lake City (spoiler: it's a lot of sitting in her hotel room watching movies, like Crazy Rich Asians). And Doug overshares about his unique COVID symptoms.
Still not 2020 though. We promise.

Alice is unfortunately ill this week, but Will.he.is has (figuratively) stepped into her shoes to co-host with Doug this week. They'll discuss a bunch of questions only...ahem, Will can answer, as well as the debut of the game "Meat or Myth."
They cap off the episode with every single delicious and/or weird thing imminently coming to you at restaurants and store shelves with "New Yum City."

There's a lot of talk about currency and puzzle terminology this episode. But just so you don't think Doug and Alice have completely turned over a new leaf, they absolutely say the word "sausage" more than has ever been said in a non-pork-specific podcast.
So much sausage, y'all. Sweet, savory, spicy, Vienna. It's all covered in this one.

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

The NBA Playoffs have been going on for what seems like forever, and Alice was able to pull herself away from a scrapbooking endeavor to watch her first game. There's also some talk about computer shopping and domestic finance.
Yes, this is adulthood, folks. We all need to get used to it.

This week's episode sees the long-awaited return of Semi-Recent Semi-Decent News, featuring incredible journalistic integrity, thought provoking stories, and more poop than you could shake a stick at. Or would want to. Also, Alice got a much deserved promotion, so please congratulate her! Even if Doug will never remember her new job title.

This week Doug asks Alice some much anticipated, very important questions. They involve God, rivals, and, of course, bologna sandwiches.

This week Alice and Doug pull up the ol' random topic generator and test their ability to talk about made-up holidays, strange movies, and more. It goes pretty well, except for Alice giving the audience a Star Wars spoiler (no, not that one) and Doug admitting to spraying fake vomit in a church.
Other discussion topics may include:
- Which of the 16 Star Wars TV series is your favorite?

Heard any good news lately? If not, you've come to the right place.
This week Doug and Alice seek to shine a little light into this recently darkened world without positive stories from around the world. Unfortunately, hearing about saving babies' lives and heroic vermin might make them question their own value.
It's a win-win, really.
Other discussion topics may include:
- "Translucent Baby Skin" and other phrases that should never...
In this episode Alice and Doug take a look at comptrollers, caulking, and work-related virtual reality implementation. You know, real adulty type matters.
But not all this week's topics are so sophisticated. They also discuss chocolate butter, ancient Greek sugar daddies, and NSFW virtual reality implementation.
And they do it all like gangbusters.

It's time for an appetizer of "What's That Finger," followed by a main course of "New Yum City." Whether slurping down some cocktail sauce or seeking foot-long tortilla chips, grab a plastic or metal fork, extend your tongue, scrape your teeth, and let's get crackin'. Enjoy your meal!
Just leave anything cotton candy flavored out of this.

Alice and Doug babble on about clicky headphones/skulls and delicious, community-ordered hamburgers. Also, they might accidentally get Mrs. Shen arrested.
And what household name owes his success to a $5 correspondence course and way-too-expensive bagel equipment? You'll see.

Ep. 232: Two Fabulous Foxes in a Caramelized Leek Dip
Alice and Doug recently took a very pretentious trip to St. Louis, where they took in some culture, fine cuisine, and a questionable lodging situation. Doug also learned about adding flavors to hot drinks, while Alice took on a new food addiction.
And remember, friends. You're not just some flat piece of toast. You're a full chunk of French bread.

Everything from slaughterhouses to Melania Gibson is covered in this extremely educational episode of Going Terribly. Along the way, Alice and Doug make a (slightly too late) Curb Your Enthusiasm pitch and reminisce about marching band. Which, of course, everyone was in back in high school.
