  • 008: Rhino Head on Street Corner

    From a rhinoceros head dumped on a Pennsylvania street corner to a woman mailing human blood to her husband’s ex, this episode of News with Bill takes “weird news” to a whole new level of insanity.

    This week, I dive into the bizarre and unbelievable stories that prove humanity is hanging on by duct tape. United Airlines bans duct tape restraints after a string of midair meltdowns, and a Pennsylvania murder trial takes a wild turn when the defense hinges on whether the accused soiled himself in fear. Down in Florida, a couple is arrested for a drunken spaghetti fight, while a Tennessee man takes “self-sacrifice” to horrifying new extremes during a police chase. There’s also a nurse convicted of mailing biohazardous feces and blood, an Ohio woman wielding a hammer in a road rage brawl, and a naked Florida toll booth flasher. Things only get stranger with a racist neighbor caught on camera, a gun-toting Chipotle customer demanding her burrito, and a Michigan man planting pipe bombs to stop cursing and porn. Trust me, you won’t believe these are real.

  • 007: Icelandic Whale Beer

    From whale testicle beer to a plane forced to land because of a rogue bowel movement, this episode of News with Bill is proof that humanity has officially gone off the rails.

    A satanic killer in California turns his cellmate’s death into one of the most gruesome prison stories imaginable, while a Toronto strip club starts offering COVID-19 vaccines to sex workers in the most unexpected “pop-up clinic” ever. I count down the world’s strangest foods and drinks—from mustard ice cream to Icelandic whale beer smoked with sheep dung—and trust me, it only gets weirder from there. Then it’s onto a British Airways flight turned around by a disastrous poop incident, a man bitten by a python while using the toilet, and a pantsless Florida woman arrested inside a Circle K. There’s even a couple who opened fire at Burger King over a “too spicy” chicken sandwich and a Mother’s Day gone wrong involving a taser-wielding son. From dipping sauce rage to a Titanic Museum iceberg collapse, this week’s headlines deliver maximum absurdity. If you love weird news, dark humor, and the most unbelievable real-life stories on the internet, this one’s for you.

  • 006: Ground Beef Battery

    From a Walmart brawl involving a 10-pound log of ground beef to PETA’s war on “speciesist” insults, this episode of News with Bill proves once again that truth really is stranger than fiction.

    When police in Ohio respond to a disturbance in a Walmart potato chip aisle, they walk into one of the strangest assaults ever — a woman wielding a massive log of ground beef as a weapon. From beef to bizarre, I also dive into a Florida man’s failed attempt to use the “stand your ground” law after brutally beating an iguana, and a Southwest Airlines pilot who decided to turn his cockpit into an adult theater mid-flight. Then, I break down PETA’s demand that people stop using animal names like “chicken” or “rat” as human insults, because apparently even metaphors aren’t safe anymore. Finally, I share the weirdest online sales you’ll never believe — from belly button lint to celebrity air and crypts next to Marilyn Monroe. If you love strange news, true crime oddities, viral internet stupidity, and Florida’s finest follies, this episode has it all. Tune in for laughs, disbelief, and a few stories that might just make you question humanity.

  • 005: Bake Like an Egyptian

    From cupcake crimes in Cairo to coffin-building retirees, this episode proves the world’s sense of normal is long gone!

    First up, an Oregon car thief steals a vehicle—then threatens to call the cops on the mom who left her kid inside. I also look back at the deadly things humanity once thought were safe, from asbestos insulation to radioactive toys, lobotomies, tapeworm diets, and mercury-laced medicines. In New Zealand, retirees are joining “Coffin Clubs” to design and decorate their own caskets—because who doesn’t want to go out in style? Over in Egypt, a baker was actually arrested for making cupcakes shaped like private parts, proving that the Egyptian morality police take dessert very seriously. Finally, families online share their bizarre house rules for games like Monopoly, Uno, and Clue—some so strange they make the official rules look sane. From dumb criminals and dangerous cures to DIY coffins and scandalous sweets, this episode of News with Bill is packed with the weirdest, wildest, and most unbelievable stories from around the world.

  • 004: Lettuce Meltdown

    From snakebites and strip-club sermons to lettuce-fueled meltdowns, this episode proves the world’s gone completely off the rails!

    A man battling COVID in India was also bitten by a deadly cobra—because apparently, surviving one disaster wasn’t enough. Then, the Pope’s Instagram account “accidentally” liked a bikini model’s photo, and the Vatican’s response might surprise you. In Florida, a mom decided her toddler needed THC to help him nap, while a biker in Kansas City managed to shoot himself mid-race before being hit by a car. Over in China, a company actually installed timers in employee bathrooms, and one pastor in California turned his church into a strip club to get around lockdown rules. Things get even weirder when a Swedish mom keeps her son locked away for 28 years, a Namibian man named Adolf Hitler wins an election, and a nose job patient wakes up missing part of her ear. From Spanish kids growing hair everywhere to a naked home invader in Tennessee, and finally, a Florida man’s meltdown over missing lettuce—this episode of News with Bill delivers the wildest, funniest, and most unbelievable news from around the world.

  • 003: Almond Milk is not Milk

    How far would you go to win an argument over almond milk?

    From a quadruple amputee arrested for drunk driving and a man biting off another guy’s nose in an Iowa bar fight, to a Florida suspect who attacked an officer with a Bible, this episode is packed with jaw-dropping moments. I break down a family feud that turned violent over a debate about almond milk versus whole milk—spoiler alert, one of them brought a knife. You’ll also hear about a farmer who survived having his arm ripped off by a hay baler, jail guards punished for blasting inmates with “Baby Shark,” and a passenger wearing a Burger King crown who caused chaos on a JetBlue flight. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a couple who named their baby after a WiFi company for free internet, a meth-throwing driver, a pizza-fueled domestic dispute, and even an illegal backwoods castration ring in Oklahoma. I wrap things up with a Florida woman who told police her name was “My butt just farted.” Strange, shocking, and hilariously absurd—this is News with Bill at its weirdest.

  • 002: 78 Cats Make for a Happy Home

    What’s worse—finding human poop in a grocery store freezer or discovering snakes hiding inside your toilet tank?

    This week on News with Bill, I dive deep into the weirdest news from around the world, from a Missouri home packed with 78 cats to an Oklahoma man cruising through a Taco Bell drive-thru completely naked. We’ve got see-through public toilets in Japan, a Florida woman who attacked her dad over his flatulence, and a Montana sanitation crew that rescued a working iPhone from a park toilet. I also cover a West Virginia woman who tried to turn a $100 check into $8.4 million, an Australian woman whose toilet was clogged with live snakes, and the bizarre story of rapper Silento’s hatchet-wielding home invasion. And if that’s not strange enough, there’s a bingo hall scandal involving a woman’s neck-breathing hole, a 12-year-old suspended over a toy gun on Zoom, and a gruesome decapitation case in England that’s as dark as it is unbelievable. To wrap it up, you won’t believe what turned up in a Scottish supermarket freezer. From shocking to downright disgusting, this episode is packed with strange news that proves truth really is stranger than fiction!

  • 001: Like a Phoenix

    Thanks for taking the plunge and listening to the show! I am going to take a moment and give a brief introduction. Really, if you are interested in weird, odd, and bizarre news stories with a generous helping of miscellaneous tidbits, News with Bill is the show for you! There is a good chance that I will throw some randomness in here and there as well.

    Here what you can expect to episode:

    Obviously, I had to kick off the new show with a story about poop. There is a circus in Germany that is selling jars of the brown gold to unsuspecting people… well, I guess they are suspecting because these people are ordering the stuff on purpose.

    Of course then we have a couple of real gems – a guy that claimed he was using the two dozen pipe bombs he was caught with to remove tree stumps, and the Nazi that shot a woman several times in the back that stole a flag in his front yard. Odd, I know. Since when do Nazis overreact about things?

    There are truly some odd magazines out there that you can actually subscribe to, and they cover a wide range of subjects – animals, corpses, industrial equipment, end even porta-potties!

    I found details about a railroad selling rocks make money, and read about a couple of guys that got into a violent argument over a video game.

    And what is the best way to close out the episode? A kid shoving a Lego up his nose, only to have it come out a couple of years later.
