Episode 105: “It’s a Prolapsed Christmas Stocking!”
Phil and Shaun are joined by one of their favorite people for a whirling, tumbling plunge into some of the strangest, head-scratching-est, INSIDE-OUT news ever covered by a pod! Jill’s even got herself a brand new (soon-to-be) recurring segment: a medical oddity-focused barrel of bizarre she’s calling Jill’s Mixed Medicine Bag! For the inaugural installment, Jill is all about things…sorta…falling out of people. Yep. Woooo boy, it’s a doozy!
And! In SCIENCE! this week, Phil brings us news of some bovine shenanigans going on in Mother Russia, where new dairy farm tech might just improve the lives of some forlorn cows. OR…those same advances might just lead us…to the MOOTRIX!
Ohm and this time around, Phil prepared a Real or BS game that defies description. It’s just…so…well. It’s CALENDAR-based, so get ready for some hot gaming action!
And, in Three for the Road, we have some spooky forgotten corpses, MORE raging pigs that may or may not be wrapped up in a global porcine drug cartel, peepee threats at the movies, and MORE!
Hey hey we’re a podcast/And people say we podcast around/But we’re too busy newsing/So listen to…THE WHIPAROUND!
