  • The 4th Annual Whiparound Holi-taint Drinky Special!

                If it ain’t Christmas, and it ain’t quite the New Year, that means one thing: a grundle-rific drink special on your favorite Weird News podcast! Before the Whippy-Snappers take January off to rest & retool, enjoy a smorgasbord of (mostly, arguably) sweat-colored-but-brilliant libations conjured up (and in many cases originally CREATED BY) the Good Doctor himself. Hear Shaun react in a VARIETY of ways until Phil’s alcohol-mixing magic! “But I came here for strange news that y’all make funny!” you may be saying. Fear not! Enjoy a debut segment in which Phil throws Shaun actual bizarre news tidbits that our Macabre-meister must explain on the fly! Did we mention they’ll keep coming even as Shaun gets progressively more inebriated? See? Everyone wins when you party in the taint with…the WHIPAROUND!

    Well, uh... fate does not smile on the Whippy Bois this week so.... uh... here we go with this high octane gem!

    Hey-hey Citizens! Pull up a warm cuppa and settle in for some real-world weirdness ‘round the holiday ornament of your choice! With Christmas right around the corner, let’s check out what those guys hosting the best weird news podcast of all time are talking about. Hmm. Looks like Shaun’s focused on some crazy, Memento-style approach to a story involving a squatter, a nosy neighbor, and a VERY busy skull, whilst Phil gets us all hyper with a new study that investigates how caffeine might be able to help improve visual acuity! And oh boy, Citizens, A NEW GAME! Woo! So that’s one part spooky-fun, one part mind-rush, one part GAME. Sounds like business as usual (MEANING AWESOME AND NOT ON TOO MUCH COFFEE AT ALL!)…on THE WHIPAROUND!

  • Weird Words Matter

    Phil props up a nearly-conscious Shaun long enough for our resident friendly crypt-walker to disgorge not one but TWO Macabre tales this week! In one corner, a tale of a man, his dog, and one BARKING MAD alibi! And in the other corner, news out of Berlin tells of one elderly nursing home patient so consumed with misophonia that she went to some DRASTIC measures for a little peace and quiet: roommates take heed! The good Doctor, thank goodness, brought a rousing NEW GAME to shock things back into motion, AND rapid-fire wonders in Three for the Road and so much banter you’ll be BEGGING for that Patreon link.

  • BREAKING: URINAL NEWS

                It’s SUCH a relief to bring you this episode, Citizens. Whew, feels like Phil’s been holding in this news about scientific progress as it pertains to porcelain pee problems for DAYS! So. Bathroom. Splashback. You either know it intimately OR know someone who knows about it all too well. Well, this week, the good doctor brings us what might just amount to some hope. Have some plucky scientists designed a BETTER urinal? Is that even possible? And in what ways would less-charitable human beings treat some newfangled gadget in a men’s room? Oh, find out inside. You’ll also get to splash around in some fresh headlines (including a fake one that Phil sprinkled in somewhere), a BRAND NEW GAME positively dripping with fun, and more banter than you could swing a…you know what? Let’s leave the metaphor right there before somebody gets conjunctivitis or something. Stay safe, everyone, and shake off responsibly. This has been a public safety update from…the WHIPAROUND!

  • “May the turkey sit well!”

    As Thanksgiving closes in, your favorite clean-pated peddlers of unusual events the world ‘round are back once more with their latest finds! Shaun’s up with the Macabrenet this week, and the story he’s got is one with a VERY powerful, VERY stark moral. And someone, you know, winds up very, very dead in the teaching of said moral. And there’s dancing! Briefly! On top of that are family-sized portions of headlines, platters stacked high with fast-paced bits in 3 for the Road, and OF COURSE there’s a BRAND NEW GAME for dessert! And it’s soccer/football/whatever-themed! We’re so timely, so worldly, so excited, and so about to revolutionize Thanksgiving greetings on…the WHIPAROUND!

  • Sub-Sonic Bass Riffs, Y’all

    It’s time for some news set to some SICK BEATS! Phil brings a scientific bop about a group of researchers claiming that certain kinds of music can reveal ever so much humanity amongst us…and maybe conquer nightmares themselves? Phil explains it all way better. Shaun…seemed to think more along the lines of “We’ve got sorta-kinda-almost audio ghosts, folks!” YOU can decide which focus you prefer, Citizen! Oh, AND there’s a BRAND NEW GAME! Uh. It’s a new edition of “Phil Me In?” So! Temper those expectations and crank the dubstep, it’s time to go to dreamland…with the WHIPAROUND!

  • Episode 102 Redux: Robo Magic Johnson Rises

                The weather is going all cold, so why dontcha cuddle up with some HOT WEIRD NEWS!? And my oh my but the Whiparound has got you covered in the bizarre department this week, boy. WEEEEE-OOOO! Check it:

                Phil leads off this week with headlines. Ahem.

                But then! SCIENCE! And he’s featuring ANOTHER story about strange advances in robotics. But before you think he’s just trotting out some tired old premise, think again: this time around, the good Doctor is focused squarely on your privates! Wait. Let me rephrase that. He’s talking about ROBOTS that are good at doing stuff with your privates! …that still sounds pretty bad. But there it is: the future is now!

                After that, Shaun whisks us away to balmy, exotic India, where one man stepped up to prove his extreme eating prowess and found the power of the number 42! It’s an EGGcellent Cabinet of the Macabre this week, with dares, death, and more egg puns than you can shake a bloated cadaver at!

                Plus, of course, a game: this week, we’re trying a brand new Build-a-BLANK Workshop! Come hear! Come hear!

                And! In Three for the Road, lefty ladies smell just fine, a poser policeman makes an actual arrest in front of real cops, an Aussie with a tattoo fetish CHANGES HER EYE COLOR like only a genius would, and oh ho ho, there’s so much more!

                OUT: Cold November Rain.

                IN: THE WHIPAROUND!
