  • It’s Fluffy Time

                Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome…to FLUFFY WEEK on the Whiparound! It’s like the regular Whiparound but…y’know. Cuddlier! Friendlier! Still weird, still news, but THIS week it’d make for a nice travel pillow, too! It’s just so airy and nice and there’s totally a random gay porn joke in there, so YES! FLUFFY! To wit:

     

                In SCIENCE!, good ol’ Doctor Phil discusses a recent study connecting one’s proclivity to hug and otherwise physically express them thar affections to…one’s BLOOD! Specifically it’s about hereditary this versus learned that and…Phil makes it all make sense, AND he’s a hugger, so that guy would totally know!

     

                On the LESS-hug-friendly (but still FLUFFY!) Macabrenet this week, Shaun is thrilled to bring you word of the very latest innovation in haunted house trends: a Japanese company with a breakthrough in Big Dumb Thing era haunted “houses”! Listen in and maybe consider sending your favorite weird news podcast hosts some funds to head on over and check this thing out; we’re DYING to go on a horror-themed field trip, ya’ll!

                And it just so happens that Japan’s latest Halloween idea inspired Shaun to force Phil to play a NEW GAME!

     

                Somehow, with all that being said, there’s STILL more FLUFFY fun to be had: you’ve still got Three for the Road, a fresh Covidiot of the Week, Trainwreck Headlines, and MORE to look forward to! AND IT’S ALL AT LEAST A LITTLE FLUFFY!

  • The Magnus-Helix Effect of DOOM

    Oh, hi! Didn’t see you there, as I like even the most rudimentary nervous system or even more than two dimensions with which to receive data or any stimuli whatsoever. But hey, thanks for visiting ol’ Uncle Show Notes! Wanna see somethin’ cool?? Check THIS out!

     

    THIS WEEK, on the HARDEST-workin’ weird news podcast of all time in any direction known to humankind (probably)…

     

    We’ve got Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, with a hearty bowl of bizarre and largely botched seppuku: this thing’s been curing since 1970, so it’s weird, it’s ripe, and it’s ready to go! Follow us to Japan and explore the worst way to lose a quick ten pounds!

     

    And! SCIENCE! Woo! Yet again, Phil presents for our head-scratching, eye-rolling, Darwin-Award-winning pleasure, a brand sighing new COVIDIOT of the week! Let’s see…could a defiant faith-healer type defeat the Big Dumb Thing via ignorance and kisses? FIND OUT INSIDE, and keep it moving, for just ahead is a very serious story about bubbles!

     

    Yep. Bubbles. Scientific. Bubbles. Anyway!

     

    A SURPLUS of Trainwreck Headlines roared across the good doctor’s desk this week, and so we have the spot-the-fake game up top like usual BUT ALSO, Shaun faces a whole new batch of them for this week’s NEW GAME!

     

    Can you believe we’re STILL not done at that point? That’s right: Three for the Road is still to come, so let’s get this party rolling!

  • Mr. Fauch’s Wild 9G Ride…with Guest Jill Yapsuga!

    Amidst the chaos engulfing the world today, your favorite weird news podcast rises again to help ease your stress, for however short a time that we might. We’re in this together. You and us. And we love you. So let’s have a quick bit of fun, shall we? Before we press on with the fight for justice, equality, and much-needed reform. This episode was recorded LAST week, but out of respect for the events unfolding in the streets of the US, we opted to hold onto it, to go silent for just one week. We’ve all needed time to process and to gear up for the long road ahead.

            

    Onward!

          

    Jill joins us this week, and she has TWO big contributions! First, Jill has a new edition of her regular segment, the Mixed Medicine Bag, and this time around we’re checking out just what’s in medicine cabinets…IN SPACE! Oooooh, space drugs, amirite??

               

    PLUS! Jill has a fantastic video on youtube wherein she unboxes a joyous collectible chock full of Ghostbusters merch for the hardcore collector! Stick around till the end to hear all about it!

               

    And in keeping with our jaunt into the medicated void, we keep that particular ball rolling with a healthy dose of SCIENCE!, in which the good doctor reveals the results of a fascinating study into the healing properties…of foul language! AND we’ve got some new, uh, “curse” words brought to us courtesy of the nerdiest nerds ever to nerd it up.

               

    All of that is crammed into the hour-ish fun, PLUS a new game just COVERED in grave dust, a new COVIDIOT of the week, and a thrilling, tumbling, wild Three for the Road!!

  • Of Feathers and Fursonas

     Episode 130: Of Feathers and Fursonas

    Oh my, oh my, oh MY, are things odd this week! Out of the gate, the Trainwreck Headlines are truly a tough bunch this week, so spotting the fake might take a bit of luck UNLESS you know Phil’s little tell. Are YOU in the COOL Club or are you down with Shaun and his fellow dummies? Either way, try to spot the fake a win the day!

    Next, in Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, the blood-soaked, feather-coated conclusion to last week’s horrorshow that was: the Massacre of Toxcatl. The Aztecs have been hurt by Conquistador cruelty, and this time…this time, es personal! Hear just WHY the Spanish evac from Tenochtitlan ended up with the rather telling nickname…EL NOCHE TRISTE!

    Oh, and uh…SCIENCE! Yeah. Science. Science, science, science. Well. Um. That is. Ok, so Phil does a whole thing about Furries and Shaun reacts quite strongly. Then there’s a game. About Furries. It’s a lot of Furry stuff in there, so. You’ve been warned. AND YEP. IT’S WEIRD.

    Plus, we’ve got another stunning display of a vacuous and vapid virus behavior with our COVIDIOT of the week, and a right whiz-banger of a Three for the Road! YEE to the HAW!

  • “I’m Cuckoo for Penguin Sh!t”

    Episode 129: “I’m Cuckoo for Penguin Sh!t”

    Oh, it’s a wild one this week, Citizens! I mean, OUT OF THE GATE, we’ve got a heaping handful of Citizen Shoutouts, a head-scratching blast of Trainwreck Headlines (Shaun still doesn’t know what Phil’s little “secret” is with all his fake stories, do YOU?), and some Jersey trash-talk by North Jersey’s own Dr. Phil LaPorta!

    If you make it past that, you’ll find yourself in Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, in which our Reaper of All Things Wretched takes us back to 16th Century Mexico for the FIRST of TWO parts all about a horrifying massacre pitting Conquistadors against Aztecs! We’ve got rivers of blood and more fancy feathers than Phil can possibly handle. Or be remotely comfortable with.

    Then, it’s off the frigid wastes of the South Pole with SCIENCE! Phil knows something…something AWFUL and oddly WONDERFUL about penguins, see. Specifically, about penguin GUANO, and, well…the episode’s title is about as clear a clue as you’re going to want. Suffice it to say, penguins are killing the planet. Kinda. Sorta. With poop. Ahem! Moving on!

    We’ve also got a brand new imbecilic COVIDIOT of the week, and a breathless blast of oddball headlines in everyone’s favorite rush-job, Three for the Road!

    With all that content, it’s no wonder that choosy moms choose…THE WHIPAROUND!
