Episode Notes
2017, at long last, comes crashing down, and The Whiparound is here to stab it and pose heroically! Jill, Shaun, and Phil all brought their particular segments to bear on sending off a year that was TOTALLY…roughly 365 days long. Science, pop culture, and politics all fall under the dazzling wit of your hosts—
BUT FIRST!
Jill runs down the many fixes, physical, emotional, and otherwise of 2017, Phil’s research plunges the gang into an impromptu PRISON DRAFT, and Shaun raises the idea of a super-fun Contest: put YOUR 2017 experience into a GIF and send it out way, he says!
AND IN THE SPEED ROUND…
It’s all about crazed fan bases, stupid responses to headaches, and sweaty robo boys as we do one last burst of rapid-fire news before the New Year!
AND BEST OF ALL: Dave calls into the show with a VERY special announcement you’ve just gotta hear! Should auld acquaintance be forgot, have no fear, just bring THE WHIPAROUND to mind!
