Who Asked You?

So, this is it. We've reached the end of our run. I think it came sooner than anyone, including us, thought it would. I could break down everything that happens on this episode like I've done every week since starting, but I think this time, it's best if you just hit play and experience it. We ended up running long. This 90-minute series finale turned into two-and-a-half hours. While there's tons of laughs, drinking and classic clips as we look back on this incredible journey, there's also some emotional moments too -- primarily from yours truly. I'm a bit of a blubbering mess during this show. I hope you'll bear with me. I'd hoped I would've kept it together on-air, but I should've known better. Who Asked You? started out as something fun for us to do on the weekend -- because we'd be having these exact conversations anyway -- and evolved into something that I poured my heart and soul into. Something I'd hoped would build a large enough audience to cover its own costs... and maybe have enough left over for a burger and beer at the end of the night. It's been the biggest project I've ever taken on and became a significant part of my life. In a way, that was a bad thing. I let the 'business' side of it get to me which ultimately created stress and frustration which then led to this decision. I try and explain this at the end of the episode. However, it might be kind of hard to get that from my final thoughts as I'm pretty choked up. Good luck with that! I've learned a lot over these past seven years and nine months and made some new friends along the way. I'm now going to take a little time and reflect on my views of podcasting and my future with it. I don't know what I'm doing next just yet. I've considered launching a number of shows, but my thoughts always come back to this one. And the reason for that is that I spent all these years crafting my ultimate show. The show of shows that I would listen to. This one. So who knows what the future holds, as they say... the sky's the limit.

Are you? Some seemed confused, annoyed or otherwise upset with not only the new lightsaber hilt design seen in THE FORCE AWAKENS trailer, but also the black Stormtrooper at the start of it. And, we run out of time — thankfully — and can’t talk about the TERMINATOR: GENISYS trailer. SHOW LINKS: Reddit: Which superhero’s powers would have the best sexual applications?

The plot for TERMINATOR: GENISYS is almost comical. We try and make sense of it. After last Tuesday’s elections, pot is now legal in Alaska, Oregon and Washington D.C. The official title of the seventh STAR WARS film, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, was announced as the cast and crew celebrated their wrap party. Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, is re-editing the fourth season so the events in the episodes are in chronological order.

While traveling to the hotel by private train, they meet owner Rudolph Sterling, gala coordinator, Beverly Boniford and magician, Mago the Mysterious.

In an attempt to streamline my workflow for this show I’ve decided, starting with our 300th episode, I’m not going to write long show notes or blog entries anymore. I’m also forgoing the silly images and graphics that accompany them. Lets be honest, who reads the five or six paragraphs I write each week anyway? You’re here to listen, not read. And I too am guilty of this. I don’t read show notes either… I just hit play and go about my business. So instead, in a feeble attempt to keep Google from flushing us down the SEO shitter, I’ll just be writing a short four or five sentence summary (as seen below) of what’s covered on each episode. And the Show Links will remain as they are. I’ll talk more about this on our next episode because after all, you probably aren’t reading this anyway. ON THIS EPISODE: We celebrate 300 shows in the can! We debut our new theme music. We take a celebratory shot that I quickly regret. We read listener E-Mails. Plus, talk about some good and bad memories from the past six-and-a-half years. And Dennis calls Jabari a hater so the two go at it on-air for our enjoyment.

If you’ve been a subscriber to our show since day-one — which is highly unlikely because nobody listened to this crap back then — you likely have quite a few MP3 files in your playlist. I’m gonna make an educated guess and saaayyy 299? Here we are on the eve of our 300th episode. It’s been a longtime coming. We take a moment at the top of the show and try to figure out the math. I’ve commented here numerous times that I hate/suck at math. We average around 40 shows a year. We could do more but we wouldn’t want you to get sick of us and cancel that subscription. Speaking of subscriptions… it was fun while it lasted wasn’t it Aereo customers? This past week the United States Supreme Court ruled that the startup company with which you rent a tiny coin-sized antenna and receive over-the-air broadcast via an intuitive interface on your phone, tablet, computer or TV was in violation of broadcasters’ copyrights since they were charging customers a monthly fee like a cable company but not paying the networks carriage fees unlike a cable company. They gotcha there Aereo. Still, it’s a cool idea, plus their cloud DVR and software interface is pretty slick. It’d be a shame if the company simply died. Our suggestion is they get into the hardware business and just sell the tiny antenna and a Roku-like box that runs their program for a one time fee. Orrr, since Aereo apparently works with the Roku and the Apple TV, just sell the tiny antenna and beef up your channels on those platforms. Reviews pop up a few times during this episode. I read off some reviews for our F.D.V.D.O.T.W.W.M.A.N. since its one-star rating was just asking for it. THE MUMMY RESURRECTED, which is totally unrelated to the Universal franchise fooled a few Amazon renters who in turn got ‘wrapped up’ in sharing some candid thoughts on it and I decided to share them with you. It seems a one-star rating was given to the new Channing Tatum/Mila Kunis green screener JUPITER ASCENDING by a test audience as well as execs at Warner Bros. The film is reportedly suffering from a confusing plot that required reshoots to clarify some things and some of the visual effects weren’t finished leaving little material for an effective marketing campaign. As a result, the studio has decided to push the movie’s release from July of this year to February of next year! We discuss the ramifications of movies getting reshoots and delays in releasing. Is it the kiss of death for a film? The real highlight of this story focuses more on the directors of the movie, the Wachowski siblings. If you haven’t kept up on the duo that brought us THE MATRIX trilogy, then here’s a hint, they used to be referred to as “the Wachowski brothers”. Shane Black recently gave us his take on Iron Man and now he’s going to do the same for PREDATOR. Don’t worry, they aren’t rebooting the franchise again. In fact, Black made it very clear his film will be a sequel taking advantage of all the mythology within the PREDATOR universe. There’s plenty to play with there. Should be interesting to see what he does with the property. TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION debuted Friday. And like the previous three films people loved it, but also hated it. The TRANSFORMERS franchise seems to be in this inexplicable gray area where people complain the movies are noisy, incoherent messes — and the fourth is no different — yet they keep going back to the theater every time a new one comes out. The stories always suck, the characters are either annoying or unmemorable and the special effects are so loud and in your face you’re desensitized and fatigued with them within the first 10-minutes of the movie. But god damn it, the CG sure looks good and that automatically makes it awesome for some people. And those people are the ones that spent $100-million this weekend on Michael Bay’s latest demo reel. That’s all it takes anymore to make a good movie. Fuck the story, stick the script in the trash, just make pretty visual effects. I picked a few hilarious, Rotten Tomatoes from the review vine to share on today’s show. It’s been awhile since I challenged the fellas so they’re a bit rusty. They were unable to get a ‘Chase’s Challenge’ on today’s show correct. But Dennis came close. It’s a new product I came across called the “Phone Strap” and it may or may not literally do what its name suggests. And if it does, where and how? But it might not. See if you can figure this out in the allotted time of the challenge. It’s unanimous, the Who Asked You? Crew all agree kids shouldn’t have homework. We’d go as far as to ban it. This is why we’re not in charge. It’s also why we might fit in with the town of Hallstahammer in Sweden. Their city council is considering making homework against the law. Their arguments are pretty sound. Parents often can’t help their kids as the work is different than when they were in school and some can’t help at all because they’re working and don’t have time. Kids do however, have plenty of time during the day to get all the school work they need while in school. No wonder some adults can’t leave their work at work. We’re all trained from the start to bring this shit home with us. Well, we say screw that! School work should stay AT SCHOOL. The education minister in Sweden thinks this is a bad idea. I’m not sure what his reasoning is, but it better not be the lame excuse that banning homework leads to drop outs and lower test scores and such, because Finland begs to differ. We’ve got some interesting statistics when it comes to being homework free. Now, at the risk of being hypocritical, we’ve got a homework assignment for you. Write us an E-Mail or send us a voice message with your thoughts on our 300th episode that’s coming up. Tell us how long you’ve been listening, or why you listen or share some of your favorite moment(s) from the show. We’ll put them on-air as we celebrate 300 podcasts July 11th.

For the record, on the record, however you want to phrase it… we here at Who Asked You? believe no human male should EVER wear these new one-sided thongs that seem to be the norm for tattooed, gym-obsessed, pube-shaving douchebags now known as ‘spornosexuals’. More on them a bit later. Today’s episode comes to you from the studios of Rocking Comedy Radio. Our show has been streaming LIVE on their station for sometime now, so when “Crazy” Jay and his crew decided they were going to try and break the world record for longest online broadcast, they invited the Who Asked You? Crew over to chip in. We had fun on the 44th floor and even had the hillbilly jazz band The All-Togethers as our peanut gallery. You may or may not be able to hear them in the background chiming in from time to time. Even when this episode gets posted this afternoon, Rocking Comedy Radio will still be going until 11pm Pacific to set the record. Another record in broadcasting was set this past week. Answer: 6,829. Correct response: What is the number of JEOPARDY episodes Alex Trebek has hosted. Trebek beat the previous Guinness World Record held by Bob Barker for his stint on THE PRICE IS RIGHT. And that record-breaking video game collection we told you about a few shows ago sold at auction for a wallet-breaking price! The world’s biggest cache of games went for over $750,000! Quentin Tarantino, for the first time, will be involved in one of his characters’ stories outside of his films. He’ll be co-plotting a “Django Unchained/Zorro” crossover comic alongside Matt Wagner who created the “Grendel” comics. Sounds interesting. We don’t have much to say beyond that since Mike isn’t here to gush. He’s our resident Tarantino fanboy. By now you’ve probably heard that the Washington Redskin lost their trademark. The owner of the team, who still won’t change the offensive name, plans to appeal the decision by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Some argue it’s not the place of government to decide what’s offensive. Plus, there’s been a dozen attempts to get the name changed already and they’ve all failed in court. Others say this is a longtime coming and the name needs to go. There are two important facts we need to keep in mind here. Rules and regulations set by the government regarding trademarks clearly says you CAN’T trademark a name or phrase that’s offensive, derogatory or racist. I think it’s safe to say a good portion of people, not just Native Americans, consider ‘Redskins’ to be offensive. And a really good point is made in a USA TODAY article that if the organization tried to trademark ‘Redskins’ today, it would NOT be approved. So why was it 80-years ago? Why wasn’t that ‘no offensive or racist trademarks aloud’ rule not followed back then? I think we all know the answer to that. Since this show was part of a world record attempt, it seemed appropriate to look at some other zany records from around the world. Would you believe the world’s largest sandwich was made in Mexico City? It weighed more than a large truck! And in England, a gifted gardner was able to grow a 17-pound onion. Too bad that record came a year after the sandwich one. Maybe they could’ve collaborated together. We wonder how Chris “The Duchess” Walter wipes her ass. She holds the record for the world’s longest fingernails. And there’s another record that was on display here in Who Asked You? country for a short time. It was a collection, though not video games, and we collect a few thoughts on it, so tune in for that. And we’ve got another new study that finds some surprising and not-so-surprising results when it comes to the females and their footwear. We’ve had a few studies recently that polled small numbers of people — like, under 100 — making the results seem far less accurate. In this case, a thousand women were asked a number of questions about their shoes. Not so shocking, half of them admitted judging their fellow females ‘solely’ on what they were wearing on their feet. But what got our attention was what 20% of them admitted. According to journalist Mark Simpson who coined the phrase ‘metrosexual’, that off-chute of heterosexual male has been replaced with another species. They’re called ‘spornosexuals’ and they’re numbers are growing. Look anywhere and you’ll see them. Shirtless Facebook selfies, buying expensive face creams and lotions in some chic shop, getting a tan sprayed on them and getting their body hair ripped from that artificially browned skin in a spendy waxing session. You’ll also see them at the beach wearing less bathing suit than even the sluttiest girl on the sand! There’s likely no way to get rid of them. This story is just more of a warning, like those flood alerts you hear on the radio during a thunderstorm. Fresh off our discussion of futuristic condoms comes an — innovation? — in toilet plunging technology. It’s called ‘Pongtu’ and it’s a terrifying prospect. Imagine, you just dumped a fatty and clogged your can. The only option is a large yellow sticker you must press firmly around a spotless rim of the toilet bowl. You flush, the center of the sticker swells like your gut did before pinching off this loaf of doom and the next step is to press down with both hands on the bubbled up plastic hoping the seal holds around the edge and the air pressure pushes the the clog down the pipe. You can check out a video of how the thing works in the Show Links. We imagine a scenario where things don’t go as smoothly as they do in the video in another edition of Jenkem Watch. Finally, in New York a man’s engagement is ended after he spent thousands converting the bedroom of his unsold apartment into an 80s arcade! His bride-to-be was with him at first, but eventually she couldn’t take his obsession anymore and kicked him out of her place, which they were sharing. Now he’s alone and sleeps on a Ninja Turtles-themed futon. Maybe he can spend his time setting some world record high scores? So this is our one-hour contribution to an 80-hour attempt at the longest online broadcast. Glad we could help.

This show is dominated by technology. Video game technology and sex technology. Apparently something we’ve been using during sex for the past 400-years could be improved with today’s know how. That’s what the former CEO of Microsoft thinks anyway. More on that shortly. We start the show with a recap of SOME of the highlights from E3. If you try and cover it all and talk about everything that interests every gamer, you’d have a 12-hour podcast. The big three: Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo seem to garner most of the attention. For me, there’s a moderate interest in what Sony is doing, although I’m not a fan of any other device the company makes. Microsoft is there… but I don’t care. And as for Nintendo, I have a genuine concern for the company and its… direction. Among the numerous titles both exclusive and cross-platform that was announced each company had something extra to go along with them. Sony introduced their Roku. The PlayStation TV will let you watch Netflix, YouTube and other streaming services and play just about any PlayStation game whether it’s PSP, Vita or PS1, PS2 and PS3 titles via their upcoming PlayStation Now service. Microsoft announced the Xbox One will now start at $399… gee, thanks. And over at Nintendo, they’ve decided you need more gimmicky bullshit to go along with your tennis racket and steering wheel controllers. Amiibos are small figurines that will collect your game performance and stats info. Set the Amiibo on the Gamepad and it’ll unlock features and abilities in games like SUPER SMASH BROS. that are exclusive to that Amiibo character. You’ll be able to choose from Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Kirby and six others at launch. The Amiibos will work with a few specific games for now. But more will likely be on the way. Now to the sex portion of the show. Last week I forgot to read a story about a new product called the “Galactic Cap”. I don’t miss it this time. It kicks off the sex half of the show — which doesn’t sound right does it? Bill Gates and his wife Melinda are on the lookout for a new type of condom. They’re awarding hundreds of thousands of dollars to inventors all over the world who think they’ve got the next best condom idea. The logic being that current condoms aren’t much fun to wear, and if we can come up with one that is, more men will wear them all across the planet and the cases of HIV and other STIs will be greatly reduced. The Galactic Cap was NOT one of the eleven ideas awarded grant money. So its creator, Charlie Powell is taking it to Indiegogo. Part of the reason why his condom of the future wasn’t chosen might be because of its complexity. Jabari makes a good point on today’s show that some people can’t even use current condoms the right way. Plus, the G-Cap really only protects against pregnancy. In fact, because it only covers the head of the wang, your chances of catching or spreading an STI are HIGHER than using a normal condom. More on this and a number of other condom ideas — some much better — on today’s show. The growing movement to make pot legal in the US seems to be spawning even more pot products. People have put THC in brownies, cookies, lollipops, candies and more. I once had a milkshake made with hemp. Anything to get high without getting arrested it seems. Now, it’s being put into lube. The makers of “Foria” say their coconut and cannabis oil blend can be rubbed directly on the vagina or it can be taken orally. It’s not really designed for guys though. It’s meant to heighten a woman’s pleasure while not getting her high… unless you take it orally… or you listen to claims that the THC can be absorbed through her vagina and can make her high. However, Foria’s makers say that won’t happen. Guys have a few sex toy options out there when it comes to vibrators. Battery powered cock rings, those prostate stimulators that look like some torture device from a horror movie or your cell phone to name some. Well just like the condom, there could be a NEW version to ‘shake’ things up. It’s called “Pulse” and it’s the first “guybrator” designed by Adam Lewis. He took a medical technique used to help paralyzed men reach orgasm and applied it to this gizmo. It primarily stimulates the frenulum part of your schlong but the underside of it vibrates for her too! So you can use the thing solo or while having sex. Find out more about it in the Show Links. Is there something out there you’d rather do, own or eat over having sex? A number of recent studies have had some surprising results. Men and women alike chose some pretty interesting things over having sex with their partner. This begs the question: what’s up with their partner? But also, is sex supposed to be the greatest thing ever that nothing else compares to? For some, the answer there is yes. But clearly, not everyone puts making woopie at the top of their to-do or want-to-do list. Flatscreen TVs, sleeping and a cup of hot chocolate are just some of the things some folks want over sex. We look at these and more on this week’s show. And our final story of the night not only sticks with our ‘sex’ theme, it’s an update to a story we told you about seven episodes ago. You may remember the tale of a New York cardiologist who claimed he’d been drugged by strippers and was unaware they’d charged over $100,000 on his Amex card. We poked fun at the guy and didn’t believe his story. I’m not sure anyone else did either. Well, it turns out he was telling the truth! And there were other victims! After a lengthy investigation, four strippers and a club owner were arrested for running their little roofie racket. So there you go… video games and sex… two pleasures in life some can’t do without. And maybe one of these days a study will show some people would choose the former over the latter. Or maybe Nintendo or Microsoft will announce a sex video game at next year’s E3. If either of these things happen, you can bet we’ll be talking about it on our show. Show Links: Sony PlayStation E3 2014 Xbox @ E3 Nintendo @ E3 The Galactic Cap – The condom of the future!

Usually when we don’t get to a story I tease at the top of the show it’s because we run out of time. However, this time there’s a story not told on today’s show simply because I skipped it. Note to self, pay closer attention to the bottom half of page two in the future. It’s a good story about a product called The Galactic Cap that I’m sure the fellas will have a lot to say about. So we’ll save it for next week. You should too! No Googling ’til then. We warm up with some video gaming news starting with the world’s largest video game collection going up for sale. Michael Thomasson has spent 30-years collecting over 11,000 games and dozens of consoles. You name it, he’s got it. He even holds the Guinness World Record for his giant collection. But due to “family commitments” (i.e. a nagging wife probably) he’s selling everything including the Guinness certificate. It’s all on the auction block for the next week. Check it out in the Show Links. The entire collection is estimated to be worth around $800,000. If you’re an Xbox 360 or One owner, you’ll be able to collect a number of new apps coming to the machines this Fall. Facebook, Twitter, HBO Go, MTV, EPIX, iHeartRadio, TuneIn… the list goes on. In all, 45 new apps will debut by year’s end. After hearing the REAL plot of JURASSIC WORLD, one listener — who may or may not be related to our own Charlie DeLong — decided to send us a voice message with what he’d like to see in the film. Then he posed a question to us wanting to know what our ultimate plot would include. I won’t spoil it, you’ll have to tune in to hear our JURASSIC WORLD plot. I will say it involves dinosaurs — obviously — and eye patches. It’s been awhile since we checked in on that Seattle, Washington superhero named Phoenix Jones. We told you about him back in 2011. With a homemade costume he patrols the downtown streets of the Emerald City intervening in petty crimes. Just like some heroes found in the comics, the police barely tolerate him. But Seattle’s a big place and he needs help fighting crime. So today we bring you up-to-date on his recent exploits into an Avengers-style group and why things didn’t go exactly as he envisioned. We then come up with our own superhero names and weapons we’d use if we were gonna move there to help him out. We also bring you up-to-date on that Robocop statue we first told you about back in 2010. A Detroit company called Imagination Station raised money on Kickstarter to create an 8-foot tall monument to Alex Murphy. The original Robocop, by the way… not this new bullshit. Due to a confusing sentence in a press release regarding a party for that new ROBOCOP movie coming to DVD, the Internet was told by numerous media outlets the statue would be unveiled! Last we’d heard it was still in the bronzing stage and the city council was still trying to decide where to put it. Well, that’s STILL where we’re at. “Robocop Day” as the movie studies proclaimed, didn’t include a statue ceremony after all. Instead it simply had the new bullshit Robocop throwing out the first pitch at a Tigers game. In the words of ‘The Old Man’ running OCP, “I’m very disappointed.” If you’re one of those people who goes above and beyond at work… stop. A new study finds that people don’t care if you’re really good at what you do. The research involved keeping and intentionally breaking promises to bosses and customers to gauge their overall reactions. Turns out when you deliver as promised or even ahead of schedule, the reaction is the same. A sort of, ‘meh’. When you turn in that report late though, it’s noticed and there’s trouble. Researchers also found that if you didn’t make any promise or set any deadline and just completed the project in a normal timeframe, the boss was MORE excited than if you did. So, don’t give 110%… it’s not worth the stress and will go widely unappreciated. You wouldn’t want to end up like Mr. Kenny did in the ED209 demonstration at OCP. Tune in to see where we stand on these findings. How would you like to own a hat worn by George RR Martin? For $7,500 you can! I know, that’s a lot of money to pay for a sweat-stained cap owned by the guy who brought us the world of Westeros. It’s for a good cause though. There’s a reason wolves are part of his ice and fire song, he’s a big fan of the creatures. Martin has launched a crowd funding campaign to raise money for the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in his hometown of Sante Fe, New Mexico. You can pitch in a lot less to help out, and you can pitch in a lot more too. In fact, there’s a pretty interesting reward if you throw in $20,000. We explain on today’s episode. And finally, when SkyNet takes control and our robot overlords rule the day, they’re going to remember all the embarrassing, tedious tasks we had them doing for us. Case in point, serving drinks. The Marquee Dayclub here in Las Vegas had a big pool party over the Memorial Day weekend and while shooting aerial footage of all the skin, the club management discovered the small drones they had cameras strapped to could lift and carry 12-pounds. So they started serving drink orders to guests via air. It was such a hit, the club plans to break out the drones more often to deliver booze to guests who rent out their pricy, private cabanas. You’ll hear us imagine the moment the drones turn on their masters and start shooting everyone ED209-style.

Well, that big Apple acquisition of Beats Audio we were talking about last week went through. Although, Apple used a $200-million off coupon code provided by Dre as an apology for leaking the news on YouTube after a few Heinekens. That’s just one of three music notes we want to tell you about. If you’re a fan of the musically arranged brown note known as dubstep you’ll be happy to know that the English language officially considers it a word now. That’s not to say folks consider it actual music though. Merriam-Webster decided to add it along with a number of other jewels from modern day nomenclature to their collegiate edition dictionary this year. And Macaulay Culkin is keeping busy with his Velvet Underground tribute band called Pizza Underground. They recently performed at the Dot to Dot Festival in Europe to a less than warm reception. In fact, it may have been quite cold as patrons threw their beers at the stage while jeering him and his bandmates. Then again, it was in the UK, they’re not as big on cold beer as we are in the US, so maybe it was warm after all. Our BIG story this week involves some BIG things… dinosaurs! It seemed like last week there was a flood of rumors, leaks and photos straight from the set of JURASSIC WORLD. Even Colin Treverrow, the film’s director twatted a picture of a patch on one of the costumes from the flick. While showing folks the costume department’s embroidery work as a tease is okay with Treverrow, leaking the plot of the film is not. He was rather annoyed that the Interweb was given story details of of his movie. There’s too much to write out here, so tune in to the show to find out more. We didn’t leak the info, but we’ll gladly pass it along. Some of what we talk about you might consider a ‘spoiler’ but there’s nothing super specific, just a general description of the movie’s overall plot. Have you ever wanted to try on Geordi La Forge’s visor from STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION? If so, it’ll only cost you $10,000. But you also get to have dinner and take pictures with LeVar Burton who played the character. The visor dinner is just one of many rewards being offered on a Kickstarter campaign aimed at bringing back READING RAINBOW. Not the TV show as seen on PBS, but rather a new digital, multiscreen platform featuring countless children’s books, video field trips, educational games and more. This new READING RAINBOW service would be offered to schools everywhere. And it’d be free to schools facing financial troubles. Kids aren’t watching TV anymore. They’re on their phones and iPads and that’s where LeVar and his team want to interact with them and get them all reading! They raised a million bucks, their goal, in just a single day. So now they’re shooting for $5-million. Don’t worry, you don’t have to toss in $10K. You can contribute as little as $5. Now for something truly Who Asked You?… from children’s reading programs to pornography we go with a new study conducted in Germany. Apparently, men who watch a lot of porn have decreased brain mass when in comes to motivation and rewards. Doing too much of something can alter the brain’s functionality and that includes looking at naughty pictures and videos. The study included scanning the brains of 46 men who admitted to looking at a lot of pornography. And the findings also revealed that the prefrontal cortex area responsible for decision making and behavior worsened with increased porn use. So to recap, those looking at a lot of smut are unmotivated, behave poorly and make terrible decisions. I need to cut back then. People who live in remote wilderness or small rural areas gotta be tough as nails because medical attention could be very far away. Case in point, the town of Anchor Point, Alaska. There we find a man who accidentally shot himself in the head. Instead of going to the hospital as his girlfriend suggested, he treated the wound with an antibiotic ointment and went about his business. It was only a few days later he succumbed to symptoms of being shot in the head and was forced to seek that medical attention. I think it’s important we keep that guy and those like him away from the Wilshire Gun Range in Oklahoma. It’s set to be the first shooting range in the state to legally serve alcohol onsite. It still needs approval from the state. The owner says anyone who buys a drink will have their license flagged and they won’t be aloud in the gun range area for the entire day. Nevertheless, this doesn’t sound like a good idea and seems unnecessary. Just drink when you get home from an afternoon of shootin’. That way you won’t have a drunken accident and won’t find yourself rubbing Neosporin on a bullet wound. And if you do decide to throw back a few at the gun range, for Christ sake, stop watching so much porn!

It wasn’t planned. It just so happened that as I was assembling the show’s rundown this week, all the stories involved money some how. Whether it was companies spending huge amounts of it to buy other companies, saving money by drinking a new ‘food of the future’ or investing in real estate. Currency seemed to be a recurring theme. We’ll start with news that AT&T — pending regulatory approval — is buying DIRECTV. The companies “claim” that this will allow them to offer better bundling options and better values to customers. This of course is total bullshit and is just the continued consolidation and elimination of competition in this country so that telecom and television providers can charge whatever the fuck they want because there would be no other options. Even music services online aren’t immune to the consolidation effect. Take the reported purchase of Beats Audio by Apple. Somewhere along the line Apple decided that the new Beats music service that goes along with the overpriced headphones the company sells, could be a threat to iTunes. So the only logical solution is to simple absorb Beats like some giant gelatinous blob of cash consuming its victims for nourishment. Buy the company, then kill it. This is speculation of course, but it’s likely the only reason Apple is willing to pay $3.2-billion for Dre’s pet project. Although, a company such as Apple that’s shrouded in mystery and likes to keep things secret until official announcements, are a little ticked after a supposedly drunken Dre spilled the beans in a YouTube video before anything was made official. It’d be hilarious if his gloating about this making him the first billionaire rapper actually kills the deal. Microsoft is dealing with the fact that users don’t want to pay to have access to Netflix and Hulu on top of paying the monthly subscription for Netflix and Hulu. Microsoft is the only console maker that’s doing this. But that’s about to change. According to industry buzz and the Xbox website FAQ, in June — likely during E3 — Microsoft plans to stop forcing a Live account on those that just want to watch the two streamers. And they’re also willing to refund a prorated amount for folks who just renewed their Xbox Live accounts when this new policy goes into effect. Dennis will be taking said refund. While AT&T is buying DIRECTV and Apple is probably buying Beats By Dre, YouTube is thinking of buying Twitch.tv. Twitch is a streaming platform for those who want to watch others play video games. Launched in 2011, Twitch has become insanely popular with 45-million users a month. Pondering the purchase of a new title? Twitch is a great way to check out some of the game play and even chat with like-minded gamers before you plop down that $59.99. Those who stream can partner with the company and make a little side cash running ads or convincing viewers to subscribe to their channels for $4.99 a month. YouTube, which also has channels for users and the ability to stream live, may be wanting a piece of the video game netcast pie. I doubt they’re threatened by Twitch as YouTube is a billion times more popular. But it does make you wonder what game they’re playing. If you’re looking to save some money, why don’t you stop eating solid food. Don’t worry, there’s a meal replacement out there so you don’t starve to death. It’s called Soylent and it tastes like homemade Play-Doh. Soylent is a powder you mix into a glass of water and consume as a meal. It contains all the vital nutrients, minerals and vitamins your body needs to function. Developed by a software designer who can’t cook, it’s only appropriate the recipe is ‘open source’ meaning you can adjust it to your liking. Maybe add a little something to get rid of the chalkiness? The price of Soylent comes out to less than $4 a meal. You can order it now and it’ll ship in a few months. Are any of the Who Asked You? Crew up for an all-liquid diet? Find out on today’s show. General Motors has recalled millions more cars due to various defective and/or cheap parts that are putting drivers’ lives in danger in some fashion or another. The massive amount of unsafe automobiles being recalled this year outnumbers the total cars they sold all of last year. As GM is under several investigations internally and externally, documents have been released that don’t exactly cast a flattering light on the company. It claims it knew nothing of the defective ignition systems installed in Chevy Cobalts that started this whole mess. But in a 2008 PowerPoint presentation — part of those docs that got released — meant to train employees on how to deal with recalls, a bizarre list of “judgement words” GM didn’t want staff using to describe their cars sounds like they’d driven this road before. When words like “decapitating”, “disemboweling”, “grenade-like” or “Kevorkianesque” can be associated with your cars so much that you have to tell you employees to avoid using them when writing E-Mails or talking to customers… something isn’t right. We read off a few more of these keywords on this episode. And it wouldn’t be a show all about money without some real estate news. If you’re looking to invest a nice chunk of change in a property that’ll make that money back, might you consider Dracula’s Castle in Romania? Although there is no actual Dracula, the real man he’s based on, Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia or more famously known as Vlad the Impaler, was believed to have been imprisoned in Bran Castle. Impaler? Maybe Vlad has come back as a reincarnated GM engineer. Bram Stoker, who wrote the Dracula story, is said to have read about Bran Castle and based his characters abode on it. Check out the castle’s website in our Show Links. You’ll see why he chose it. It’s pretty spooky looking pirched atop a cliff in the outskirts of a Transylvania city called Brasov. The castle has been refurbished and is in remarkably good condition given its age. It attracts over 450,000 paying tourists every year so if you were to pay the estimated $135-million the place could fetch, you’d likely make your investment back fairly quickly. Unlike GM shareholders.

It’s been awhile and we’ve had a few little ones here and there, but I’m happy to report that this week’s show has got not one, but two of those lengthy, laugh-filled ad libs where we just go off on a topic and take it to it’s most ridiculous extremes. You longtime listeners know that these tangents are the hearth and soul of Who Asked You? and I strive to generate one every show. That doesn’t always work out. So to have TWO of them in one episode is quite the bonus! Before I tell you what’s in store for you this week, let me preface the show that some of these stories may be ‘dated’. And by that I mean, they’re a week old. Which in today’s news cycle is ancient. The reason for this is that we pre-recorded this episode a week early. I chose stories that I thought would have a slightly longer shelf life. But lets be honest, you’re not tuning into this show for late-breaking news. We can’t compete with the Gizmodos and Huffington Posts of the web. You’re tuning in to hear our comedic take on the news of the week… no matter how juvenile it sometimes gets. Case in point, our first tangent. You don’t have to wait long since it’s the at the start of the show. I made some comments about how ridiculously overpriced new cars have gotten. I saw a Jeep… not a Grand Cherokee or a Liberty… just a plain ol’ army-style Jeep at the dealership recently for $67,000!!!!!! This got us going on car payments and what would happen if you missed one on a car this expensive. Throw in some recall jokes, man-made sound effects and it’s hilarious hysteria as only we’re capable of. On the actual rundown of the show we start with a list of canceled TV series from both NBC and ABC. Struggling comedy COMMUNITY finally got the boot. It was on the fence for a couple of seasons. I’m a big fan of Joel McHale on THE SOUP but never watched COMMUNITY. From what I’ve heard, it was pretty funny. And that’s probably why it got canceled. I don’t know who is worse for canceling good shows, NBC or Fox. COMMUNITY is just one of several shows going away. And over at ABC, they’ve shit-canned MIXOLOGY, THE NEIGHBORS and SUBURGATORY just to name a few. And when a good show gets the C-word a bad show gets its wings. All these canceled shows leave schedule holes that need to be filled. Enter FOREVER, a crime procedural (what a surprise) with such a dumb twist it might just be entertaining to watch for all the wrong reasons. It’s about a medical examiner who is immortal… I shit-you-not! This might be one of those ‘it’s so bad, it’s good’ scenarios. And ABC is making full use of their Marvel licensing with an AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D spin-off. Tune in for the details. A study out of the UK has some rather surprising results. At least until you hear the fine details. A couple of sociology professors curious about the world’s changing views on masculinity did a number of interviews with straight, adult male athletes and found that 93% of them admitted to cuddling and even spooning with their straight male chums. The sociologists attributed this to the fact that this generation of straight males were raised differently and have a more liberal take on the subject. They say the straight guys of today don’t care what others think and will cuddle with their straight friend, hug them more and even massage them. Not in a sexual manner of course. But the point being that they’re all okay with it because it’s NOT sexual. It’s just friends being friends. The researchers said they found similar attitudes in other countries too. One problem, they only interviewed 40 dudes! That’s not a very big sampling of the world’s straight male population. Critics say this simply isn’t enough to draw any conclusions. And we agree. Do you? It’s happened again. Some chick auctioned off her virginity for lots and lots of money. Wait until you hear how much Elizabeth Raine got for hers. But wait, there’s more to this story. After the auction ended and she had more than enough money to buy a house to do the deed in, she called it all off! Raine runs a blog called “Musings Of A Virgin Whore” and in a posting on the site, she said she’d decided not to go through with it and the winning bidder was okay with that. After you hear how big of a check he would’ve had to write, you’ll understand why he was okay with her decision. Raine, who is a medical student, says she’d like to remain a virgin for now because it’s empowering and a bunch of other crap… I forgot what she said. Does it matter anyway? We end the show with another segment of Jenkem Watch! There’s a new pill hitting the market soon that hopes to unclog your backed up pipes. People who suffer from chronic constipation may find relief with Vibrant, a techie little pill that once swallowed, can pulsate stimulating the natural peristalsis process which pushes waste through your bowels. So many questions. The pill vibrates via an external controller you operate, so it must have a tiny motor or circuit or something in it. Is it reusable? Do you have to fish it out of the toilet bowl? How much is this think gonna cost? If they’re disposable, where do they go? Are we gonna have a pile of these things in the sewer tanks 10-years from now? And the question that launches our second tangent… what happens if you stick the pill somewhere other than your mouth? As Jabari takes the lead on this one, looking at the show’s title and just generally knowing our senses of humor, you can imagine where this discussion goes. Stay tuned to the end to see if you’re right!

Nothing like a group of 30-year-olds sitting around talking about the Power Rangers. Of course, if you’re a longtime listener to this show that will come as no surprise. We often spend more time than we should talking about TV shows and cartoons we watched as kids. There’s a good reason it was brought up on today’s show though. Haim Saban, the filthy rich fellow that created the Power Rangers brand has reached a deal with Lionsgate to re-imagine the Power Rangers on the big screen. There has been some sort of Power Rangers iteration on television since 1993. The current, SUPER MEGAFORCE is still sticking with the five member team of teenagers color-coded red, blue, black, pink and yellow. The Rangers have been to theaters twice and those films were a slight increase special effects-wise from the show. It’ll be interesting to see how this film will look. Even today, the show’s fighting sequences, costume quality and acting isn’t too different than it was in ’93. Maybe they’ll go a dark, gritty, Chris Nolan route. You can’t go wrong with that… just ask the MAN OF STEEL. Grown men talking about the Power Rangers can’t be any worse than grown men watching and believing the WWE is real, can it? We get into this conversation during the New Releases segment since WRESTLEMANIA XXX is coming to home video this week. It’s a little sad to see a 40-year-old going as nuts as a ten-year-old over the matches. It’s one thing if he’s doing it for the sake of his kid… but if he genuinely believes the body slam he’s cheering for is real — which there are those guys out there that do — then that’s a different, more sad story. SpikeTV is bringing back the mini-series! You don’t see those too much anymore, except maybe on the Hallmark Channel. In 2015 the network for men… and now women too, will tell the tale of King Tutankhamun and how he became Egypt’s most famous Pharaoh. Murder, mystery, intrigue! All of these elements will be entombed in the story of his rise and fall. SpikeTV wants to broaden its audience and this they say, is their first step in that direction. Musician Deadmau5 took to Twitter this past week to complain about one of his more popular songs being included on one of those “Now That’s What I Call…” albums. This one caters to the techno and dance music crowd. The man who credits himself with inventing EDM (Electronic Dance Music) seemed pretty ticked off that his “Suckfest9001″ track was included in the compilation without his knowing. He even threatened Universal Music Group, the company behind the album, with a cease and desist! Although, it was in a tweet, no official court action as of this writing. Charlie — who’s into EDM — breaks down the EDM scene and why Deadmau5 got included on this album. Apparently there’s a popularity threshold that once crossed, means your stuff, whether you like it or not, may get thrown onto these cookie cutter discs. Pot lovers in Colorado couldn’t wait for the ballot initiative legalizing the stuff to pass. Now that it has, the high they’re getting legally, just isn’t good enough. At least, for a select Darwinian few it’s not. They’re producing something called hash oil, which in some cases is 60% or more THC. As a result the super-concentrated goop gets you a faster, more potent high. One problem, making the stuff is as dangerous as making meth, according to fire officials in Denver. You have to use butane which is highly flammable and explosive. Already, just five months into this year there’s been as many hash oil-related explosion injuries as there was ALL of last year. Is it legal though under the law to make the stuff? That’s the issue that’s up for debate. We discuss, but more so laugh at this whole situation. And lastly, Captain America got caught sending dick pics to a teenage girl. Now before you ladies race to Google trying to find Chris Evans’ winter soldier, let me say it’s not THAT Captain America. This Steven Rogers could be found at Universal Studios theme park. He could also be found on the girls’ Instagram. That’s where she posted a picture she took with him while visiting the park. And that’s where he found her and befriended her online. Before too long he was sexting her, even after she told him she was only 16. He wanted her to ‘marvel’ at his member, but it didn’t work out that way and he was arrested instead. The theme park fired him too. Maybe there’s a job for him as a Power Ranger when he gets outta jail. I’m sure once this new movie gets made you’ll see those guys everywhere.
