  • 018: Toupee Cocaine

    A severed leg, a shark selfie gone wrong, and a toupee full of cocaine—this episode might be the strangest one yet!

    I dive straight into chaos as I unpack the California man who walked off with a severed leg after a deadly train collision, a scene so bizarre it broke the internet with its disturbing viral video. From there, I head to Florida, where TSA officers uncovered a handgun stuffed inside a raw chicken, raising the question of whether people are getting dumber or more creative at airport security. Things get even wilder as I cover the Canadian tourist in Turks and Caicos who lost both hands trying to photograph a shark, a reminder that wildlife isn’t interested in selfies. I break down the Colombian man caught smuggling cocaine under his toupee, Hertz charging a Tesla driver for “refueling,” a Las Vegas man who claimed aliens told him to kill his father, and a Florida roommate attacked with pizza dough. I wrap up with turtles in pants, a laundromat dismemberment destined for a casino, a bomb plot complete with python plans, a fart spray school evacuation, and over 100 animals living in a New Jersey home. Strange news doesn’t get stranger than this, and I’m here for every insane detail.

  • 017: Fake Chinese Pandas

    From fake pandas and face-eating cannibals to fried chicken assaults and emotional support alligators—this episode proves truth is always stranger than fiction.

    This week on News with Bill, we start in Florida, where an 18-year-old woman was arrested for beating her 65-year-old boyfriend, proving once again that love and logic don’t mix in the Sunshine State. Then it’s off to Las Vegas, where a man “tweaking” on drugs reportedly ate his victim’s face, leading me to question whether horror movies are just following the news now. In Ohio, two women propped up a dead man to withdraw cash—talk about taking “weekend at Bernie’s” too literally. From a live eel removed from a man’s abdomen in Vietnam to a Chinese zoo painting dogs to look like pandas, the weird doesn’t stop there. Add in fake Chinese body armor sold to an Ohio SWAT team, a man named Deez-Nuts, and a Bible attack at Walgreens, and you’ve got one wild ride through the world’s strangest headlines. It’s disturbing, hilarious, and absolutely real—just another day on News with Bill.

  • 016: World Record Kidney Stone

    From a world-record kidney stone the size of a grapefruit to a man attacking restaurant patrons with Skittles, this episode of News with Bill proves that truth really is stranger—and dumber—than fiction.

    A Florida 7-Eleven clerk gets arrested after a Big Gulp battery, while a Las Vegas man lives with his dead roommate for weeks. I cover the Buffalo Wild Wings employee who texted mass shooting threats just to get out of work, and Burger King’s “All Cheese Cheeseburger” that’s literally nothing but 20 slices of cheese. A woman in Florida rips her ex-husband’s CPAP machine off his face mid-sleep, a Maryland woman breaks the world record for loudest burp, and a Minnesota man lands in jail for pelting strangers with Skittles. Then there’s the Burger King “Barbie Meal” featuring pink sauce that looks like chewed gum, the Sri Lankan soldier who had the world’s heaviest kidney stone removed, and a “foot fondler” arrested after sneaking into women’s rooms at night. I finish with the ten weirdest celebrity items ever sold, including William Shatner’s kidney stone, Britney’s pregnancy test, and Elvis’s hair.

  • 015: Blood Cocktails

    From blood-laced cocktails to a couple who built their own guillotine, this episode of News with Bill is proof that human stupidity knows no limits.

    A naked woman attacks a homeowner with a frying pan and gets shot in the leg, while an Indian couple takes DIY to a terrifying new level with a homemade beheading ritual. I cover the Japanese waitress fired for mixing her own blood into customer drinks, a man in Pennsylvania caught driving a stolen school bus with a dead deer in it, and a nutrition company hiring a professional “Poommelier” to analyze feces for science. Then there’s the Chinese thief who hid in a cave for 14 years, a Florida man who slapped his girlfriend with a slice of pizza, and students in England discovering feces taped to their front door. Things only get stranger with a Monopoly game that ends in a samurai sword fight, a Florida man who shoots his girlfriend in the back and calls it self-defense, and German officials busting a van full of cooked bats and unrefrigerated fish. Weird news, dark humor, and absolute madness—this one’s a wild ride.

  • 014: Ketchup Survival

    From a sailor surviving 24 days at sea on ketchup to a topless rampage inside a North Dakota church, this episode of News with Bill serves up the strangest true stories you’ll hear all week.

    An 82-year-old woman shocks funeral home staff by waking up after being pronounced dead, while a Florida shoplifter attacks a clerk with Slim Jims. I cover the Kansas man fatally shot by his dog, a Texas death row inmate who gouged out his own eyes, and a teacher who faked a bomb threat just to get a day off. Things only get weirder with a topless drug-fueled church meltdown, McDonald’s accidentally advertising its “McCrispy” sandwich beside a crematorium, and a Chicago woman hiding her mother’s body in a freezer for two years. A Minnesota woman is arrested for assaulting her boyfriend with a whole chicken, and a doctor in the early 1900s literally ate human feces to prove a disease wasn’t contagious. Finally, Heinz searches for the “Ketchup Boat Guy” who lived off condiments at sea, and a couple in Philadelphia turns a canned gravy argument into a shootout.

  • 013: Tattooed Eyeballs

    From a woman tattooing her eyeballs blue and purple to a man collecting his own feces for revenge, this episode of News with Bill might just redefine “strange news.”

    I dive right into the chaos with a KFC customer who shot a worker over corn, followed by an Indian woman whose kidneys were stolen during surgery. A Michigan mom is arrested for cyberbullying her own daughter, and a South Carolina man tattoos a minor right inside a McDonald’s. Then there’s the Belfast woman going blind from eyeball tattoos despite her 7-year-old’s warning, and a South African man stung to death by bees he believed were ancestral spirits. I cover the British pensioner who weaponized his own waste in a long-awaited act of revenge, a New Yorker fatally stabbed over not saying “thank you,” and a bizarre string of Florida fights involving adult toys. Add in a Chicago cop caught peeing in a bar’s ice machine, a teen who tried to murder his mom over cleaning his room, and a German woman turning off her hospital roommate’s ventilator because it was “too loud,” and you’ve got one jaw-dropping episode.

  • 012: Home Dentistry

    From a man pulling out his own teeth with pliers to a Japanese woman scammed by a “spacebound astronaut,” this episode of News with Bill might make you lose faith in humanity—and your lunch.

    A Florida woman is charged with child abuse after a 4-year-old was found drugged with Nyquil and Xanax, while in India, a family keeps their dead relative’s body for over a year thinking he’s in a coma. I dive into the ancient Chinese martial art of “iron crotch” kung fu—where men swing logs at their own groins—and the New Yorker caught smuggling pythons in his pants. A Texas woman wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt gets busted for drugs, and two teens murder their teacher over bad grades. Then things really get wild: a Japanese woman wires $30,000 to “help an astronaut return from space,” a British man practices home dentistry for a decade, and an eight-year-old boy in India bites a cobra to death. Add in a meth-loving Floridian claiming FBI immunity, a Walmart DUI joyride, and a family fistfight over Chinese takeout, and you’ve got the strangest headlines of the week.

  • 011: Double-Decker Eyebrows

    From hot dog assaults to double-decker eyebrows, this episode is living proof that Florida and the rest of the world have officially lost their minds!

    Things kick off with a Florida man caught on camera defecating on his neighbor’s patio table—because who needs boundaries when you’ve got boldness? Then, I explore the results of a viral “Would You Do It for $100?” challenge, revealing just how far people will go for a quick buck. From a man arrested for hitting a cop with a hot dog to a woman charged after throwing a urine-filled urinal at her nurse, Florida continues to deliver peak weirdness. But it doesn’t stop there—a guy literally named Le’Genius gets busted again, scientists suggest banking your poop for future health, and South Korean homeowners discover bags of feces hidden in their ceiling. Add in bats ruining a school dance, a Wisconsin woman’s gruesome decapitation case, and a botched eyebrow tattoo that leaves a woman with four eyebrows, and you’ve got one jaw-dropping episode.

  • 010: Poisonous Snake Rentals

    From poop-powered marathons to a cobra-for-hire murder plot, this week’s stories redefine what “strange news” really means!

    This episode of News with Bill is loaded with the weirdest headlines the world has to offer. I kick things off with a marathon runner who set a personal record after literally pooping herself mid-race—because apparently, endurance knows no limits. In Brazil, a man fleeing bees dove into piranha-infested waters and never came back out, while in Germany, an unlicensed “surgeon” was busted for illegal castrations. Over in India, a teen injected mercury to become Wolverine, and another man lived six months with a cell phone in his stomach. I also cover a teacher busted for handing out marijuana edibles as classroom prizes, a father who shot his son over bad guitar playing, and a man who opened fire over the wrong chicken wings. But the wildest story of all? An Indian husband rented a poisonous cobra to kill his wife and steal her jewelry. From food crimes to snake rentals, it’s a full buffet of bizarre, hilarious, and jaw-dropping tales you won’t believe are real.

  • 009: Centipede Bites Hurt

    From cursed psychics to centipede bites in very wrong places, this episode proves humanity is still trying its best to out-weird itself!

    This week on News with Bill, I dive into some of the strangest, funniest, and most disturbing stories from around the world. A Chinese serial killer sells “ostrich meat” that turns out to be something far more horrifying, while a drunk man in Turkey joins a search party—looking for himself. In California, two fake plastic surgeons are charged with murder after a botched butt implant, and in Taiwan, a man gets an insurance payout after a centipede bites his most sensitive parts. Meanwhile, a Tennessee woman crashes a car, strips naked, and eats grass before police arrest her. In Boston, students take a field trip on a party bus complete with a stripper pole, and a man in Florida uses a Walmart parking lot to stage his fiancée’s body. Add in a psychic scam lawsuit, a guy who swallowed metal nails, a Florida woman’s hot grits attack, and another who literally weaponized the letter “G,” and you’ve got one of the wildest collections of bizarre news yet.
