Episode 100C: Dave’s Pick (Episode 30)
      The run of host-picks forges ahead, and this week it’s the madman himself making the call: Dave DiOrio has selected a deeper cut into our catalogue to play for you this week. It was all the way back in May of 2018, with Infinity War raking in the bucks and the box office…and we realized we needed some kind of super-powered entity or other on our side to drive some revenue up OUR stream. And so, thanks to Dave’s hard work, we assembled a mighty list of mythological hopefuls and played our version of a field of 64 game, drilling down until only one very special fictional entity was left standing. Which fictional character made its way to the top and now has its very own SOUND EFFECT on the show? Well, you’ll just have to listen and find out for yourself, Citizen!
     Oh, and of course, be sure to enjoy the Act 1 flashback, wherein Dave explains the rage he feels over some particularly inappropriate birthday wishes he noticed on Facebook.
One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock weird
Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock weird
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock weird
We’re gonna WHIPAROUND your ears tonight!

Episode 30: The Men, the Myths, the CONTEST!
The boys of the Whiparound combine their powers for PROFIT! As profits soar for Avengers: Infinity War, Playstation’s God of War sequel, and other mystical, myth-mining properties, Dave, Phil, and Shaun realize what’s been missing from your favorite comedy-news podcast: a PATRON mythological hero! Thus, a powerful contest is in order, in which mythological heroes from across the globe and throughout the wide expanse of time vye for the chance to serve as The Whiparound’s resident mythological cash cow! It’s Mortal Kom—wait, no. It’s WHIPAROUND KOMBAT! Will Japan’s bizarrely cute Peach Boy make it to contest’s end? Does folksy Johnny Appleseed have a trick up his checkered sleeve? Is there a dark horse champion in the making? Tune in to find out—
BUT FIRST!
Dave’s got grave concerns over thoughtless social media birthday wishes in the return of What Made Dave Angry This Week...
AND we’ve got leaky brain fluid, a creepily-shorn Mario, and LASER EYES in an action-packed Three for the Road!
Many heroes will enter, but only ONE will survive to make us rich and help with all this pesky filing work—ON THE WHIPAROUND!
