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.

    Ep. 279: Two Bad Bunnies in a Twenty-Somethingth Anniversary

    In Doug’s annual attempt to get someone from Soul Asylum to listen to the podcast, there’s a brief game centered around their song titles. Is “Gullible’s Travels” a real Soul Asylum song? Only one way to find out.* Meanwhile, Alice finds that she now has three or four new old ice skating shows to watch in the future. If she can ever tear herself away from enjoying all the world’s fonts. Other discussion topics may include: - Martin Mull, but not that one - Catapulting from backyard to backyard - Gardetto rye chip ice cream - What bird looks like a helicopter? - Dick Button: For when you don’t have a zipper *Well, theoretically, you could just Google it, but ssshhhh.

    Ep. 278: Two Single White Females in an Actual Edible Pie Day

    Have Doug and Alice been chortling wrong? What’s the difference between “British” and “English?” Do some writers defeat the vice of heavy drinking by instead…eating babies? These all so many more questions will be raised, half answered, questioned again, and then quickly dismissed in this week’s episode of Going Terribly. Join the fun. Have some sausages. Other discussion topics may include: - Involuntary Kegels - Chuck the baby bird - What to do when your Virginia is showing - Biblical snowmobiles - The return of cloaca discussions

    Ep. 277: Two Prime Mates in a Convenience Store Wedding

    It’s Doug’s birthday this Friday, and Alice has brought him a special gift. What follows, somehow, is more flatulence than a podcast should be entitled to.  Skeet Ulrich’s birthday also lends itself to plenty of immaturity, so a huge thank you to his parents for having him.  Other discussion topics may include: - Favorite cartoon dogs - Henry Winkler’s unreleased duet with Miley Cyrus - How to pay someone to curse your enemy - The circle of life, featuring murder and potential animal incest…? - Lactose intolerance vs. Just eating more cheese than a human should

    Ep. 276: Two '90s Zambian Teenagers in a Terrible Fundraiser

    Let’s talk about poop, baby. Let’s talk about you and me.  ...and poop. This week Alice and Doug consider what they’d do for money, share their Christmas gifts, and, perhaps most importantly, discuss some really crappy factoids. And Doug will still not diagnose Alice’s incessant flatulence. Get ready for plenty of jenkem, vagus nerves, and dung beetles in this one, folks.  Other discussion topics may include: - Would you keep a diarrhy? - How diapers got their name - Floaters vs. Sinkers - Are hand warmers for external use only? - A great reason to stick a piece of transparent tape to your anus before bed

    Ep. 275: Two Long Distance Workout Buddies in a Complicated Male Movie

    Alice has gotten so crafty lately! She’s settled in nicely to her half old lady/half little kid era.  Meanwhile, Doug dabbles in mimery while pining for a well crafted sandwich.  Also, it’s the 32nd anniversary of the (obviously unfortunate) Nancy Kerrigan assault. Doug and Alice talk about it for a bit, even noting the date of the attack.  And it never even occurs to them that it was on this very day. It went terribly indeed. Other discussion topics may include: - What cookie would you name your kid after? - Very real Canadian friends - Are eggs just white apples? An explanation will be provided. - Legendary spoonerized composer Juan Jilliams - How to grow a chicken tree

    Ep. 274: Three Maltese Falcons in an Attempt at Staying Famous

    In the last episode of the year, Alice and Doug welcome Jeremy Brailsford to the show.  It’s an episode of stress tests, (somewhat) current events, resolutions, and … more animal-related band names than you can shake a stick at. It’s a long one! So toss on a diaper and settle in. Enjoy the show! Other discussion topics may include: - Choppin the corgi - IBPOOPN - Can you make eyeballs out of gall stones? - The world’s oldest baby - Peas mean something.

    Ep. 272: Two Green Eyed Bug Women in a 2000s Soccer Movie

    Doug has had some really weird dreams about Alice lately. Read that however you'd like, but you don't know the half of it until you listen to this episode. Plus, celebrate the 100th birthday of living legend song and dance man, Dick Van Dyke! And are Alice and Doug going to get a pet tamarin...? Other discussion topics include: - The 1940s weren't ready for homo sapiens - Hot take: Is it possible method actors aren't that great at acting? - Toy cigarettes - Where is Owen Wilson's Mighty Ducks movie? - The best/worst Frank Capra impression, possibly ever.
