Episode 127: Stick a Lime in It; It’s FINE!
THIS WEEK, on the latest and…well, it ranks up there as one of the GROSSEST (wait for Act 3…OOF!) episodes of your favorite weird news podcast…
Shaun’s got a GLOOMY catch of the day in a current-events-based Cabinet of the Macabre! Think you’ll do some celebrating when all this Big Dumb Thing lockdown business is over? If ya do, maybe consider staying clear of cliffs if you’re the daredevil photography type. Find out just how far SOMEONE went to get a lasting shot when their quarantine was over! (Hint: the direction they went in was DOWN!)
Phil’s got three winners with some fantastic Trainwreck Headlines, a Covidiot of the Week sure to boil your blood, and some SCIENCE! featuring strange findings by a group of researchers examining the spread of false news stories. Hmmm…but people are normally reasonable, so what could go wrong with making sure people know what’s trustworthy online??
And of COURSE we’ve got a lightning-fast round of real-world headline oddities in a WHOPPER of a Three for the Road! For real. Don’t…don’t eat or drink during Act 3. Just. Saying.
TL/DR: THE WHIPAROUND RULEZ!
