Join us for a very special guest appearance this week: Caroline La Porta, our gifted webmistress, steps in front of the mic for the first time and WOWS Phil and Shaun with the arsenal of weird news she has at her disposal. In fact, our gal-behind-the-scenes brought her very own SEGMENT! Find out the deeper story behind one of the Academy Awards’ most talked-about outfits in the kind of special report ONLY a consummate costumer could conjure in the premier of: They Wore WHAT!?

BUT FIRST!

Caroline, Shaun, and Phil are loaded for bear…or bare? Or…loaded like a buncha bears? Either way, they’ve got all the weird news you need to set your week right on its ear! Rejoice in our lack of Smell-o-Sound as Phil regales us all with a tale of fiery bovine garbage! Lift your hands and shout “Hallelujah Asterisk!” when Shaun goes all fire and brimstone to reveal the latest in religious resurrections! Help us untangle Caroline’s mystery of the Canadian shotgun victim who ended up with a befuddling twist to her injury! And stick around, because as soon as all that’s done, we’ve got a game! And YES! Caroline brought THAT, too! This time around, it’s a Real or Bullsh*t with a decidedly strange beautifying twist!

AND!

In Three for the Road, witness the rise of the hipster clone army, the focused efforts of the CIA to disprove Wakanda, and a bunch of drugged out, thieving parrots!

We’re the best, we’re the beautiful, we’re the only…WHIPAROUND!*

*That matters, anyway.
