Seth and Marc bump and grind to the late 90's boner-themed Too Close by Next. How did anyone take this song seriously?! A song about getting a hard on from dancing close to a woman who then tells him "enough is enough."

How do we navigate our sexuality as a single? God reveals to us the solution in the beginning; our divine image was designed for intimacy. And you can have intimacy without sex, and you can have sex without intimacy.
Following on from the explosive podcast with Chicago journalist Jim DeRogatis, the man responsible for covering the career of R-Kelly and initially discovering his sex-tape, I am joined by Kenyette Tisha Barnes in episode 52. Kenyette was the co-founder of the Mute R-Kelly Movement. With her protests, many of Kelly's concerts were cancelled and the infamous 'Surviving R-Kelly' Netflix documentary was released, fully exposing the r'n'b legends previous exploits. Now behind bars in Chicago for his alleged crimes, Kenyette joins me on the podcast to talk about the incarcerated star, how the movement was launched and what inspired her to do so.Don't forget to subscribe to ‘The Doctor Uz Podcast' on;Spotify- https://tinyurl.com/ybh38ftaITunes- https://tinyurl.com/ycm6zrrdYouTube- https://tinyurl.com/ya26b3r5To find out more, visit us on www.thedoctoruzpodcast.com.

In out in out shake it all about, it's movement week! Tom starts us off this week with a whistlestop tour of the humble Waltz, a dance deemed too risque for stuffy bishops because it involved (shock horror) touching! Next up, Sam takes us to the Wild West and Mary 'Stagecoach' fields, the first black woman stagecoach driver in the US. A ripped, gun-toting, bar-room brawling, horse hitching badass who started delivering mail across the mountains in her 60s, and was never late once. Subscribe and listen to us!

Join Sam Datta-Paulin (he likes history and lives in Britain) and Tom Berry (he also likes history and used to live in New Zealand but is now in the UK as well), for a weekly reflection on the bold, the brilliant... And the downright strange. From bizarre events and stories to equally odd inventions, barely a day goes by without something incredible (or incredibly stupid) happening around the world.

Dana and Jessica compare Valentine's Day dinners and wonder if each other knows the Medical Medium. The gals got to be guests on a show that is part of our pod-squad and it sparked more than joy. Listeners write in and let us know the Weirdo of the Week song never needs to be remixed and gave us this week's rants. Dana rants it out regarding people who reach over you/bump into you and never acknowledge or say excuse me. Jessica is full of rant when reading a listener's frustration with movie trailers that are totally misleading and misrepresenting the true meaning/nature of the film. What the What Corner is a foodtastic collaboration between mega brands and Weirdo of the Week is a guy who releases rodents into hotels in an attempt to scam them into a refund. Rave #1 is an impromptu baby shower comprised of flight attendants passing out napkins for passengers to shower new parents and their baby with well wishes. Rave #2 is a recycling program started by Tulane students who are trying to fight coastal erosion with sand made of crushed glass. Dana wants you to know that butterflies taste with their feet.

The superhero movies are taking a break and Fall is on the way. And this week we've got "Hustlers" which stars Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B and Julia Stiles. It's based on a true story about a crew of savvy former strip club employees who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients. Sure it's got J-Lo in her skivvies, but is it any good? We'll let you know. Then there's the current box-office champ "It: Chapter Two" which not only stars the kids you grew to love in the original but famous actors playing their characters as grown-ups. The first one scared up a lot of business but how will this one do? And then there's "Where's My Roy Cohn?." It's a thriller-like documentary about the infamous lawyer who personified the dark arts of American politics and inspired a president who shall remain nameless (go ahead, guess). ANd we take a quick look at the upcoming prestigious movies we're looking forward to.
In this episode, Ophidian the Cobra and Kate Nyx are joined by CHIKARA's Green Ant. We discuss what it's like going from being a fan of CHIKARA to becoming a member of its greatest stable, The Colony. Green Ant also discusses making a mask for Ultramantis and his upcoming NPWD match.

R. Kelly will go down in history as one of the greatest R&B singers of all time. Unfortunately, this will probably be overshadowed by his 20+ years of history of sexual assault and alleged sex cult. Let us know what you think! Should we #MuteRKelly ?@exroommates | exroommatespodcast@gmail.com

Bump And Grind returns! This episode features Ophidian and long time friend of the Cobras, Billy Kumo, discussing why BAG went on hiatus, Kaiju Big Battel, Fred Durst, and The Whisper/Ophidian storyline in CHIKARA.
This episode is about a ton of random funny news going on right now like you know aliens in the sky, Azelea saying Cardi B is a crumb, Khloe lying saying her family never made her feel fat etc etc etc... The main topic is R.Kelly, the accusations being made against him, his sex cult, and all the nitty gritty details.
SEX and VIOLENCE. That volatile combination is both provocative and controversial for most people. It's where we're at our most vulnerable, and Horror gives us the opportunity to confront our darkest emotions in a safe environment. But, only a few horror films dig deep enough to strike a nerve. They brashly go beyond titillation, and blur the line between sex and violence…to take us to dark, and uncomfortable places. Only a few horror films dare to get... Personal. Join me as we get into a down and dirty discussion of Sex and Horror! I hope you enjoy the episode. Join the Hellbent for Horror Horde on Patreon!

Remember a few years ago when Amazon introduced that mysterious device called a Kindle? People worried that electronic readers would replace traditional books. Turns out the death of the hardcover was greatly exaggerated. Also, the expression "bump and grind" doesn't always mean what you think. Plus, the origin of jet black, the roots of fugacious, a game called Goin' to Texas, and how to punctuate the term y'all. And is there anything express about espresso? FULL DETAILSRemember the olden days of 2007, when Amazon first introduced the Kindle? Oprah named it her Favorite New Gadget. Some people thought e-readers signaled the death of hardback books, but as Nicholas Carr notes in the Wall Street Journal, only 16% of Americans have purchased an e-book, while 60% say they have no interest in them at all. What is clear is that no matter the medium, people are reading more in general."I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump n' grind," sings the R&B star R. Kelly, referring to the hip-thrusting dance that's all the rage with kids these days. While some people use the phrase the old bump and grind to refer to the daily grind of workaday life, it's probably better not to use it unless your job involves, well, bumping and grinding.Alan from Austin, Texas, asks: How do y'all punctuate the contraction of you all? Is it y'all or ya'll? You'd think it'd follow the pattern of she'll and we'll, but y'all is an exception to the rule.A while ago we talked about the drink called a suicide, also known as a Matt Dillon. That's when the bartender pours whatever's dripped on the bar mat into a shot glass and some lucky fellow downs it. We've heard lots of variations from listeners, including the Jersey Turnpike, the Gorilla Fart, the Buffalo Tongue and the Alligator Shot. Strangely enough, it's yet to be called the Tasty.Our Master of Quiz John Chaneski has a game from his home borough of Brooklyn. For this quiz, he gives us the definition of a word, plus its Brooklynese definition. For example, "a couple with no children" and "a synonym of ponder" are both known as what?Why do we say something is jet black? It doesn't have anything to do with aircraft. The jet in jet black is the name of a black semi-precious stone, which in turn takes its name from the part of Syria where it was found in abundance in antiquity. Dan Henderson of Sunnyvale, California, sent us a great cartoon of two guys at a bar. One says to the other, "Explain to me how comparing apples and oranges is fruitless?"Is master a gender-neutral title? James from Seattle, Washington, hosts a local pub quiz night, where he's known as the Quizmaster. But, he wonders, would it be appropriate to call a woman a Quizmaster? Of course! Many titles, like Postmaster or even actor, have come to be gender-neutral. We wouldn't say Quizmistress because mistress has taken on a specific connotation--namely, the female lover of a married man. For more on gender and language, Grant recommends University of Michigan professor Ann Kurzan's book Gender Shifts in the History of English.Hey kid, hey kid, give 'em the saliva toss, the perspiration pellet, the damp fling, deluded dip, the good ol' fashioned spitball! An essay on baseball slang from 1907 sent Martha off on a search for more of these wet ones.In Chicano English, the word barely, which traditionally means "just happened," can also mean "almost didn't happen," as in I just barely got here. This locution apparently reflects the fact that in Spanish, the word apenas can mean either one of these. The Chicano use of the barely in this sense is a calque, or loan translation, which occurs when a pattern from one language gets transferred to another.Our earlier conversation about sign language reminded Martha of this quote from Helen Keller: "Once I knew only darkness and stillness…my life was without past or future…but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living."One of our listeners was visiting the Orchid House at the San Diego Zoo and happened across the word fugacious, meaning "blooming only briefly." The word can also apply to one's mood, and shares a Latin root with "fleeting" words like refuge, fugitive and subterfuge.Is there an express in espresso? Nope. Cafe espresso is literally "pressed-out coffee." So the name espresso has nothing to do with the speed with which espresso is made. The term express, on the other hand, as in express train, derives from the idea of "directly," or "specific to a particular destination." It's the same express as in expressly forbidden, meaning "specifically forbidden."Mary, from Royal Oaks, Michigan, says she once confused a friend by offering to relieve her of snow shoveling duties with the question, Can I spell you? This usage of spell, which refers to substituting for a period of time, has been deemed archaic by Merriam Webster, although we believe it's alive and well.Bill Watkins from Tallahassee, Florida, is having a tough time knowing which setting to use on his microwave. He figures this moment of indecision while standing there with your finger poised over the buttons deserves a name. His suggestion: microwavering. What do you call that children's game where you hold hands and spin around until you're too dizzy to stand? Sally Jarvis, who grew up in Eastern Arkansas, says she and her childhood playmates called it Going To Texas.Latin phrases are commonly misused, but there's perhaps no better example than Vampire Butters' butchering of per se, which simply means "in itself," in this episode of South Park.This episode was hosted by Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette.....Support for A Way with Words comes from The Ken Blanchard Companies, celebrating 35 years of making a leadership difference with Situational Leadership II, the leadership model designed to boost effectiveness, impact, and employee engagement.

The term express, on the other hand, as in express train, derives from the idea of "directly," or "specific to a particular destination."

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Remember a few years ago when Amazon introduced that mysterious device called a Kindle? People worried that electronic readers would replace traditional books. Turns out the death of the hardcover was greatly exaggerated. Also, the expression "bump and grind" doesn't always mean what you think. Plus, the origin of jet black, the roots of fugacious, a game called Goin' to Texas, and how to punctuate the term y'all. And is there anything express about espresso? FULL DETAILSRemember the olden days of 2007, when Amazon first introduced the Kindle? Oprah named it her Favorite New Gadget. Some people thought e-readers signaled the death of hardback books, but as Nicholas Carr notes in the Wall Street Journal, only 16% of Americans have purchased an e-book, while 60% say they have no interest in them at all. What is clear is that no matter the medium, people are reading more in general."I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump n' grind," sings the R&B star R. Kelly, referring to the hip-thrusting dance that's all the rage with kids these days. While some people use the phrase the old bump and grind to refer to the daily grind of workaday life, it's probably better not to use it unless your job involves, well, bumping and grinding.Alan from Austin, Texas, asks: How do y'all punctuate the contraction of you all? Is it y'all or ya'll? You'd think it'd follow the pattern of she'll and we'll, but y'all is an exception to the rule.A while ago we talked about the drink called a suicide, also known as a Matt Dillon. That's when the bartender pours whatever's dripped on the bar mat into a shot glass and some lucky fellow downs it. We've heard lots of variations from listeners, including the Jersey Turnpike, the Gorilla Fart, the Buffalo Tongue and the Alligator Shot. Strangely enough, it's yet to be called the Tasty.Our Master of Quiz John Chaneski has a game from his home borough of Brooklyn. For this quiz, he gives us the definition of a word, plus its Brooklynese definition. For example, "a couple with no children" and "a synonym of ponder" are both known as what?Why do we say something is jet black? It doesn't have anything to do with aircraft. The jet in jet black is the name of a black semi-precious stone, which in turn takes its name from the part of Syria where it was found in abundance in antiquity. Dan Henderson of Sunnyvale, California, sent us a great cartoon of two guys at a bar. One says to the other, "Explain to me how comparing apples and oranges is fruitless?"Is master a gender-neutral title? James from Seattle, Washington, hosts a local pub quiz night, where he's known as the Quizmaster. But, he wonders, would it be appropriate to call a woman a Quizmaster? Of course! Many titles, like Postmaster or even actor, have come to be gender-neutral. We wouldn't say Quizmistress because mistress has taken on a specific connotation--namely, the female lover of a married man. For more on gender and language, Grant recommends University of Michigan professor Ann Kurzan's book Gender Shifts in the History of English.Hey kid, hey kid, give 'em the saliva toss, the perspiration pellet, the damp fling, deluded dip, the good ol' fashioned spitball! An essay on baseball slang from 1907 sent Martha off on a search for more of these wet ones.In Chicano English, the word barely, which traditionally means "just happened," can also mean "almost didn't happen," as in I just barely got here. This locution apparently reflects the fact that in Spanish, the word apenas can mean either one of these. The Chicano use of the barely in this sense is a calque, or loan translation, which occurs when a pattern from one language gets transferred to another.Our earlier conversation about sign language reminded Martha of this quote from Helen Keller: "Once I knew only darkness and stillness…my life was without past or future…but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living."One of our listeners was visiting the Orchid House at the San Diego Zoo and happened across the word fugacious, meaning "blooming only briefly." The word can also apply to one's mood, and shares a Latin root with "fleeting" words like refuge, fugitive and subterfuge.Is there an express in espresso? Nope. Cafe espresso is literally "pressed-out coffee." So the name espresso has nothing to do with the speed with which espresso is made. The term express, on the other hand, as in express train, derives from the idea of "directly," or "specific to a particular destination."

Exactly 100 episodes ago, we did one of my favorite segments in GC History. We read the story of young man who loved to fuck his car. Yep, no typo there. Thank god BBC America decided that this subject deserved it's own Documentary. And it's worth every minute of your life you spend watching. Enjoy. Oh yeah. Chris Henry is probably dead now. Wow. Weird.
