Episode 110: A Friendship’s Event Horizon

2020 rolls on apace, Citizens, and weird news knows no rest! Want proof?

This week, Phil’s got another blizzard of bizarre with ONE fake-a-roonie in yet another edition of Trainwreck Headlines!

After that, we’re right onto Science! And the good doctor has some happy news about those most foot-destroying building blocks: Legos! Turns out they’re the best thing to happen to freezers since sliced ice! Who knew??

Of course, we’d never leave you without some of the gloomy-gloomy goodies, so Shaun came prepared with a Cabinet of the Macabre entry that’s not just horrific, not just brimming with murder…it’s a RECENT event! That’s right, Citizens: fresh macabre is on the menu!

All that PLUS a brand new game and even MORE oddball news in our fastest paced segment, fan-favorite THREE FOR THE ROAD!

Let’s do this one for auld lang syne, folks! Hoo baby, it’s…THE WHIPAROUND!
