Well, well, well: it’s episode 69, and we’re obviously WAY too mature to ever joke about that number. This is a somber, sober, dignified weird news podcast. So don’t come in here expecting a bunch of silly 69 gags peppered throughout the bizarre headlines of the week. ALRIGHT, FINE! You got us. Of COURSE we yuck it up about a certain reciprocal act of love. The heck do we look like, NP-freakin’-R?? Get in here and giggle with us, ya reprobate! Check it out: Jill brought in a news piece about cockroaches laying a veritable SEIGE on a hospital that’s less than popular with its workers already, Shaun trots out a story about a hidden pinball paradise, and Phil brings us news of layered contraception that takes a wide and hilarious detour through mixed drinks. Because of COURSE it does!

BUT FIRST!

Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre is back, and this time the focus is on a little place called Andersonville and the brutal, lethal origins of the word DEADLINE! It’s a doozy for sure!

AND what do a gaggle of cross-dressing horses, a small fleet of sperm-a-copters, and a Florida-based assault with a deadly toilet have in common? Why, they’re but a TASTE of what awaits you in our latest edition of Three for the Road!

Let’s all have a good time at the SAME time on the 69th edition of…THE WHIPAROUND!
