Episode 109: Mixing Drinks for Demons, a New Year’s Special! With Guest Gabe Mara

HAPPY WEIRD NEW YEAR, CITIZENS! To help your pals at the Whiparound send off 2019 in our signature style, we’ve invited mixologist, movie expert, and all-around-nice-and-nice-SMELLING guy Gabe Mara to join us this time! Together, he and Phil take it upon themselves to convince Shaun that gin, his least favorite Christmas-tree-flavored spirit, isn’t so bad after all. The doctor and the man-about-town have prepared several cocktails, some famous, some brand spankin’ new, so listen in for Shaun’s thoughts on the clever recipes these two scallywags cooked up for him!

But FIRST! in Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, Shaun introduces a new flavor of dark and spooky coverage: Shaun’s BOOK REVIEW of the Macabre! And for this first edition of the creepy bibliophile’s club, he’s brought us a children’s book all about DEMONS! It’s garnered rave AND raving reviews on many sites, and earned itself the ire of PLENTY of the sorts of folks who love to watch pages smolder and burn…but is it any GOOD? Let’s find out, Citizen-kids!

And, in Three for the Road, enjoy some bizarre Japanese plans for workplace equality, serial self-touchers brought to hairy-handed justice, idiotic thieves displaying their spoils on social media, and enough fun and games to choke out 2019 once and for all! Drop the ball, light the fireworks, and smooch the willing, it’s time for THE WHIPAROUND!
