by Dongtini — Episode 58
August 22, 2012 in Podcast by dongtini
On this episode: Simone reads the original pitch for the completely surreal Jason Alexander/Nickelback video, Stephy repeatedly texted the wrong person because she assumed they were kidding (“Seriously, you have the wrong number.” “Whatever, asspunch!”), and David and Gregg show up for another disgusting round of Would You Rather? Also: the fuck threshold, early-onset dementia, Goodreads is fun and Stephy conducts an experiment in which she shows David gay porn while he is eating dinner (conclusion: definitely do that again).

Wrong number texting is fun!
Social anxiety + cursing = Dongtini’s wheelhouse.Stephy regrets that she cannot link to the picture she showed David while he was eating but she is presently posting this from work and cannot post it yet but will soon. Watch this space!
HERE it is! Very NSFW!- Simone
And here ANOTHER ONE of the same pair that listener Michael found post episode the airing of this episode!
And here are the Goodreads links for Stephy and Simone.
Closing song: Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman — “Stumblin’ In”
I say “fuck” at work only with selective coworkers, but I pretty much use every other curse word around everyone. Not a very corporate office, though.
That Stephy texting story reminded me of a time I sent a text about someone TO THE ACTUAL PERSON by mistake. Fortunately, I wasn’t badmouthing the person, but it was still really awkward. Have either of you done that?
I say “fuck” to some co-workers but only after sussing them out first. I don’t know why I felt compelled to hold to guys in the warehouse for so long. Perhaps because they don’t swear around me because they think I’m a lady?
I haven’t done that, but I’ve worried that I’ve emailed or texted the person I was talking about and there’s a special reaction where your stomach churns a bit and then the feeling runs up your esophagus to your throat and then your head swells. I have never actually done it though. A few months ago Gregg forwarded me an email about a friend of our from their significant other. I wrote back TO GREGG and said that was unfortunate what happened but I kinda wasn’t surprised. And then later he said that was kinda rude if me to say and was like “Why?” and then it turned out he thought I was replying to the significant other saying that in which case it WAS rude! I explained I didn’t do that and I checked the email and indeed I had not, but after that, I felt guilty for saying what I said even though it was a normal sort of banter between a couple about people they know! Oh dear.
I thought that that Nickleback video was the most nonsensical and surreal thing I’ve ever seen but then you read the pitch and it somehow became worse! Hard to imagine that this video could have been more … whatever this was… Just listening to that pitch description was like tentacle porn in my ears!
Am I getting old or do all Nickleback songs sound exactly alike?
I’m glad the pitch made it even worse! Just the idea that they really thought it out and thought it was a good idea. Aye carumba! And yes, all Nickelback songs do sound exactly alike, but that has no bearing on the fact that you are getting old.
Dammit! I was afraid it might be a bit of both!
Quick question for Simone, you directed all complaints to be spoken into a man’s penis. Does it have to be a man’s penis or will another kind do? Or will that reroute to a different podcast?
Nope. Must be a man’s penis. It’s the only thing listening.
Good to know! Not that it matters I had zero complaints!
Hahahahaha it’s the only thing listening hahahahaha
“…but I couldn’t post it on Facebook because on Facebook I’m friends with someone who is friends with [John Hamm]”!!!
Hahaha! Simone, I just have one thing to say: 1st world problems!
I know a lot gets lost in comments when they get moved into a text-based format, so I’ll be clear…I’m not ridiculing or mocking you. It’s a legitimate social issue
But, if this is the worst problem in life, life’s pretty good, eh? Hell I don’t know anyone who is friends with anyone! At least you have a link to your big crush through a friend 
Haha, yes Mark, I am well aware that it’s a first world problem. I thought I made some sort of conciliatory statement to the fact but perhaps it wasn’t obvious enough. I thought this being a problem was a joke in itself! I forgot to mention that I got to meet Jon Hamm through this friend on FB so then I’d also have him thinking back to that and realising that I was a giddy fan girl trying to play it cool. Poor, poor me!
Not sure that counts as a first world problem – most people in the first world just aren’t that lucky! I think we need a new term #simoneproblems
I got home from a gig a couple hours ago, made myself some food, and sat down on the couch to unwind while listening to the latest Dongtini podcast. It gets to the part of the DongLine, and I hear “We have a voicemail from listener Michael”. Didn’t think anything of it until I was headbobbing to “Call 323, 301 DONG!”. I suddenly stopped chewing on my PB&J sandwich and thought, “wait a second… I’m Michael… OMG, what if this is me?”, AND THERE I WAS! I couldn’t remember what I said on the voicemail until I heard it just now. Ha! Pretty neat. I’m so glad I got to be a part of the show!
Simone, too bad I won’t see you in Buffalo, NY. I’ll try & say hi to Gregg/Neil after the show if I’m able to (not sure if he does any meet&greet stuff after shows). Let him know who I am.
Stephanie, I was laughing a ton at your story of the wrong number text! I just recently had someone wrong-number-text me thinking I was their boyfriend! Hahaha! Hilarious!
Lastly (for now), I couldn’t wait to see that pic of the dude playing guitar while getting a BJ, so I looked it up myself! I’m guessing this is it!

Anyway, have a great week, & I’ll look forward to hearing you gals again next time! Bye!
I JUST SQUEALED!!! slapped my hand over my mouth! That’s the same pair but a differnt angle!!!! I’m drunk now. More later! Best thing ever!
You are so right about that picture Simone, the dude doing the sucking does look disengaged! Maybe the guy with the guitar is playing Nickleback?
Oh lord, those pictures! I am crying with laughter at how very un-sexual they are!
