EPISODE 134 - Partly Cloudy

from Who Asked You? · host Chasecom Media

We often have 2 types of guests in our studio's peanut gallery. We have those that just show up randomly and hang out in the background while we do the show. And we have folks who sit in with headphones on and just listen to the show as we do it occasionally chiming in, most notably our friend John who has randomly popped up on the show from time to time. Whatever type of guest in may be, our show generates dialogue like a mofo and most of them can't resist chiming in. Case in point, Dennis' close friend, Ron Cloud. When Ron slipped on some headphones he knew nothing about our show. He didn't even know we do it every week. And like many, his plan was to just listen-in and get a feel for the flow and maybe contribute on a later program. But as you'll hear that didn't last long. Getting in on a Who Asked You? conversation is a lot like jumping into a cold pool. Ron waited partway through the show so as not to get a cramp, then he canon balled in and never got out to towel off. And we're happy to report Ron fit right in and picked up on our show's rhythm rather quickly. He comes in during the New Releases segment to explain the British show coming out on DVD called, "Legend of the Seeker," which none of us had seen or heard about.Before 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!
