What the Effin' What!: Recent Episodes
David Worthams & Angela Clock
Best friends Dave and Angela once joked about doing a podcast for giggles and years later, they finally started one. Mixing strange news stories, social media comments, and sports and anything else that catches our eyes and the eyes of our special correspondents (i.e. you), come along for laughs and deeps thoughts ... the type of stuff that make you say "What the Effin' What!"
In this delayed episode of What the Effin' What (because Dave lost half of the audio that we recorded), we find out what's the big deal about doulas because Angela and Dave interview our friend Abby Sumbler who just passed her doulas test. We also chat about an Ocean's Eleven type of theft of some really expensive wine, and our friend Melinda has two stories that she sent us, officially making her our new Law & Order Special Correspondent.
Oh ... and did we say Angela Fossi's name again?
And did we tell you that Dave screwed the eff' up by losing half of Abby's interview?
Why is it, during the summer, Dave gets too busy to fully produce and edit What The Effin' What on its normal schedule? Little League Baseball ... that's why.
And as Angela needles Dave about his sore knees and hurt back from all the umpiring, we hear of stories dealing with Bill Clinton's thoughts on weed, a survey about which decade as the best music, and some cra cra in Florida got in a police chase on a John Deer lawnmower.
And we also get a chance to say the names of our friends Tom Wrench, Abby Sumbler, Thea Mann, and Jason Larsen while Clock bemoans the fact that she's way behind in watching MCU movies and TV series. But she finally did see TOP GUN!!!

What happens to a podcast after Dave sees Top Gun: Maverick twice?

In an episode that helps Dave and Angela share their appreciation for "The Love Guru", which according to Angela, "... is a movie so bad you have to see it at least once and most likely multiple times because it's hilarious", listeners will find out all about poopiness in Wichita, people who can't go to Russia no more, how tequila helps the Pope's bad knee, and some lady who used a cat to batter her lover.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of "What the Effin What", just a little podcast born out of a joke between two friends who let the carb loading before a half-marathon get out of hand.
Dave and Angela find weird news stories and social media posts that make people stop and go "What the What?!" Sometimes the stories are off the wall. Sometimes they're designed to make you think about something. But at the end of the day, they're making you think.
In the first episode, we have stories about goats, about Meijer's, and about The Game (between Michigan and that school down south).
