And now for the show:

- Birmingham Educational’s My Body Software: Can you guess what part of the body they’re going to talk about? I got an idea. I think that from now on, we should just refer to that part of the body as the “mur.” So, this episode of BEMBS is about Karen’s mur. I got another idea. The part of the male anatomy should be referred to as the “evo.”
- A Haiku Moment

oh…no….
… HEY HEY!!!!!!
Bobby G.!!!!!!!!! Mr. Parent I presume….
yoda rules
Nice going Joe you pissed Mrs Evo off.. is this why you couldnt get the show notes up? Did she kick your ass.
OMG DO NOT TALK FOOTBALL!!!!
Oh okay sorry.. you were not talking football… please forgive me. Football is a sensitive subject in my house…
Thats bullshit.. women think about sex all the time
Hey now… women dont lie anymore than men….
We lie about sex because we are so fucking puritanical.. its soooooo stupid.
We prefer our violence to sex. We would rather watch a girl getting her head torn off than being loved.
You guys may not have noticed but I have no problems expressing my sexuality.. women who want sex are considered whores and men are not. Im sorry but the men help provoke that.
Yeah that is kind of true.. about the 50s…. also the white mans view of women is soooo differnt than men of other races. If you date a man of another race he will treat you soo differently than a white man- everything is different. Not better but different. We have lived under the white mans view on sex for a very long time.
Okay Im done talking to myself now
…Im here….
Course I was hiding in the shadows… watching you…
MIKE!!! EVO!!!! Alvie is stalking me again..
*innocent look*
Moi???? Oh come on Andrea
*shakes head*
Sheesh!!
*hides rope and chloroform*
ummm… whats that rope for Alvie? and whats in that bottle? Innocent my ass.
Ummm… science…. project?
yes.
Im not into the kilt wedgie.
There is nothing wrong with wearing a thong under a skirt, is there?
Dear Alvie
you lie
best,
andrea
Dear Andrea
Cant prove a thing
Breast,
Alvie
Ps. No, no theres nothing wrong with that.
Dear Alvie
you yourself admitted you had a rope and chloroform. Therefore you lie.
best,
Andrea
PS- thats what I thought.. what else are you supposed to wear with a tight skirt? What do you wear with your skirts Allvie?
Back to the show.. we have cops on segways here in chicago.. I see them all over
OMG what an awesome promo!!! That was awesome
Nice work on the show lads… but what prat did you get doing the haiku?
Bring back the old bloke, he rocked.
This is a scary thread…..maybe if I listen to the show and then come back.
Wow! What’d you guys talk about that pissed of Andrea so much? I guess I need to listen. BTW, wouldn’t the world be a better place if women thought about sex more?
Rhettro, based on the conversation on the show, I think the consensus answer is: the world would be a better place if women had societal sanction to act on all the sex that they are already thinking about.
Oh so eloquently put Charlie… all that *and* you know stuff about beer!
[serious] I wasn’t angry I was just commenting on the show. i agree women are just as sexual as men, we are all of the same animal. So why is it that society has us thinking we are not supposed to be sexual? We actually enjoy sex more than you guys.. we can orgasm in multiple ways or levels and times. [/serious]
Right on!
Yes!!! Yay chlorofor….
Er…
Yay sex for women!!!!
Oh… and Im au natural under my skirts baby…
Alvie- I knew you were
Alvie…skirts…au natural…
*grabs brainstem…rips out brain…smashes it several times on table…re-inserts*
What were we talking about?
w00t!!!
speaking of Beer!!!
The Mogollon beer is their Superstition Pale ale put under nitro, I had a chat with the brewer a couple weeks ago and he mentioned to me he was going to do it. He is also going to make a smoked rye ale soon as well.
Having just listened to Karen’s nice segment, I take it that a woman’s reproductive system is like a vessel, for sea men.
Gang, I need your opinions. I want to really take this topic to a whole new level on the show. I tell you seriously, it is one of my biggest pet peeves that women are so demonized in the world’s culture.
The whole Equality Now charity that was a big part of the Serenity screening. (You know, Joss’s favorite charity.) That is also my favorite cause. The first time I heard of women having their pussies stitched up and there clits being cut off, I was horrified. Well….. I won’t get into it here, but I would like to know if you would like to hear more about it, and if you feel it is following the new direction given by Mur. (More Clit, Yeah!)
Sorry to get so serious, I now return you to your regular humor.
Oh cmon Charlie…. youve seen worse…
Well Mike, Wingin’ It is your show, so do with it what you will. WI has approached serious subjects on occation, so I don’t think a segment would be out of place, especially if you followed up with links to sites that offered more in depth information.
Mike I am in complete agreement with you.. the way women are treated all over this planet is deplorable. Every country has its issues, some worse than others. But in no place on this planet are women equal to men.. nor are womens issues and needs ever considered as important as a mans. The animal kingdom has more respect for its women.
I’d support whatever you wanted to do
Is it possible for one to be serious when referring to the atrocity of female genital mutilation as “having their pussies stitched up and there [sic] clicks being cut off”? If a serious conversation is called for, it stands to reason that proper nomenclature is also required.
Be that as it may, you are talking about bringing an incredibly heavy topic to the show. The same show where we make dick jokes, I belch a lot and nothing is sacred or revered. I strive to make the show funny, and I never planned on my question about “why do women lie about sex” to spiral somehow into a conversation of racial inequality.
To me, Mur’s request for more fallo- (as in fallopian tube) centric humor and specifically clit jokes is not the same as a discussion of the horrors of FGM. At least, that’s my take on things.
My two pesos:
I fear I must echo the sentiment of Evo “Clitty Litter” Terra. The absurdity of the human condition has a dark side that goes as deep as you want it to. While WI is fueled (from time to time) with topical humor, we can acknowledge that the show got a little 11-year-old-male, mock ourselves for it, and channel our inner 11-year-old females in response without it becoming an “issue” podcast. Righteousness, self- or otherwise, just plain isn’t funny.
So Mike, I think you need to start another podcast on this serious issue. Cause, like, you don’t have enough podcasts or anything…
Good point Evo and Charlie, good point.. There is a time and a place for everything and right now is the time and the place for me to go make another drink
Humor can entertain as well as inform. I’m not talking about turning this into an issues show. I’m not putting together a inquiry panel on the nature of human atrocities around the world. I’m looking for some open and fun conversation in the same vein that we always approach topics like this. The show has always tackled big issues with light humor, but serious undertones. Case in point, sexual freedoms, drinking responsibly, religious freedoms, cencorship, etc. (You didn’t know you were learning stuff, did ya?)
As always, there will be an air of humor involved, but I feel the topic is worth bringing up.
Well, Michael, you can always bring it up however you want. You guys work without a script *heh* so you could throw out some off the cuff commentary anytime you want.
Heinlein might have had the right idea when he said women shouldn’t work toward being equal to men; it would just lower them.
Humor can entertain as well as inform.
Couldn’t agree more. We are behind you guys no matter what direction you take the show.
Mike, the US has *always* been puritanical. Europe, and Canada for that matter, are a lot less uptight.
I second Evo und Charile (so..third?)
I understand the importance of this topic Mike… but honestly, I have enough strife and pain in life.. I listen to WI! to escape for and hour or so. Id much prefer to listen, laugh, and mentally jack off like Im used to.
I just dont think this specific show is the place to bring up heavy topics and talk seriously bout em… and no… I really dont think about the serious undertones you guys are “tackling”… I just hear the pussy and disk jokes on the surface.. and THATS why I listen.
But hey… like Im gonna stop listening if you choose to go in another direction…
I’ll forth what the other guys are saying about having a heavy topic bring down the show, because what Alvie says is true about the escapism part. However, I do remember seeing Kathy Griffon talk about her trip to the Middle East and the culture shock she experienced. She touched on the FGM issue, and had a sort of WTF joke about it. On reflection this seems more like the domain of a women commedian to talk about it if at all. So you just need to get Kathy Griffon on WI. LOL
As far as Mur’s point on more clit on WI, I think she meant sexual humor from a women’s prespective, and I say that would be refreshing.
And disk jokes can be pretty damn solid, especially when it comes to a 3 and 1/4 and a 5 and 1/4 – one is hard, one is soft – yet they’re both called floppy? Wrap your head around that one.
If you are going to open that door, I gots some “liberal propaganda” to spew!
Just kidding, I agree its an important issue, but it may bring down the levity. I suggest maybe mentioning it on the colateral Wingin’ It materials i.e. website with links or whatnot. That way you can say “For more info on NOW sans the dick jokes, see our site.”
OMG. Fox is listening to the podcast!
