Alice and Doug have just returned from a surprise early birthday trip out of town. They've come back with stories of food, a 40th anniversary celebration, and a what-might-have-been involving an "adult playground."
It's also National Candy Day, and...have you ever noticed how suggestive some candy slogans sound? Well, you're about to.

Here's a spoiler: Frankenstein has never been worse.

This week's episode involves the tale of how Alice nearly met her end thanks to some kitty litter, a trash can, and a potential minor loss of flexibility. She also almost did a crime, so it's been a big week.
Meanwhile, Doug envisions a baby Joe Pesci and...researches whether or not jock straps are trademarked? Okay, so it's not potential death or imprisonment, but it's something.

On this week's special 5-year (and one-week and one-day) anniversary edition of Going Terribly, Alice and Doug welcome special guests Nicholas Atlantic City Gonzalez and Wendy "If That Is Your Real Name" Brown to the show for games and shenanigans.
Will Wendy's son ever accept her as a professional wrestling colleague?
Will Nick ever get *ahem* "invited" into an operating room mid-surgery?
Have they both secretly been living in Doug and Alice's attic?
All this and more will be revealed (or at least brought up and quickly dismissed) in this monumental episode.
It's also National Podcast Day, but not a person in the studio was able to name another podcast, so that's a little embarrassing.
