A radio piece by esteemed NPR correspondent, Robert Krulwich, used to prevent dead air when something goes wrong.
Coined by NPR's Bryant Park Project:
"An emergency Krulwich is a radio piece, any radio piece, by (...) Robert Krulwich. Krulwiches are always fascinating, amazingly well-produced, thought-provoking, and...long.
Matt keeps our emergency Krulwiches locked in a secret bunker beneath BPP world headquarters. He's the only one with the code and the weighty responsibility of deciding when to deploy.
Let me make plain at this point that we don't only use our Krulwiches in emergency situations. Sometimes they make perfect thematic sense and we use them on purpose. Sometimes we just can't resist using them because they're so good.
But sometimes, it's an emergency."

Get the Emergency Krulwichmug. What a horny dude has at 2 a.m. when his tallywacker majorly "comes out of hiding" and he feels an overwhelming and super-urgent need to insert it into the love-tunnel of his bed-partner, even if she is fast asleep or otherwise not in the mood for hot 'n' wild copulation.
Exasperated girl: I don't get it --- it seems like all da guys I know often can't "get it up" prior to "lights out" in the evening, yet they then suddenly have a dire "emerge-ency" some time later, and wake me up at two in the morning, wanting to lulu!
