  • Episode 79: ¡Muchas Noticias Raras!
    The Whiparound is back again, with more strange stories and some of the stranger takes anywhere online at any time EVER, guaranteed!
    This week, Jill merges eerie history with bumbling modern “medicine” in a harrowing tale about vampiric facials gone…well, about as wrong as you’d probably expect, given the name. After that, Shaun has yet ANOTHER take on immortality: this time around, it’s all about a Canadian man’s very special post-mortem handling of his tattoos: be sure to check out social media for photographic evidence of the prettiest flaying you’ve ever seen! And lastly, Dave sees Jill’s witches and raises her a whole coven of Romanian witches offering all sorts of services online: how convenient! And shady!
    PLUS! Jill debuts a brand new feature: Movie in a Minute! For her first outing, our favorite gal pal blazes a path through the high-octane revenge feature, “John Wick,” and WOW, but Ms. Yapsuga sure can crash through a flick…you’ll see.
    BUT FIRST!
    We’ve got another edition of What Made Dave Angry this Week, and the wrath falls on the ever-growing alternative taxi industry this time around. How exactly does Dave feel when traveling in a stranger’s car? Find out. We SWEAR he doesn’t hold back!
    AND! In Three for the Road, gossip is a crime in parts of the Philippines, there are more golden toilets for d-bags than you thought, fleas shut down a Parisian police station, and way MORE!
    “What radio show is this?”
    “It’s a podcast, baby.”
    “What podcast is this?”
    “The WHIPAROUND!”

  • Face the Ball to Be the Ball to Be Above the Ball!
    April heads out like a baffled lamb this week, as Shaun and the Ills cover a dizzying bloom of beautifully bizarre stories. Dig that sports-ball, do ya? Phil’s got what you crave; an AI program that devoured all kinds of athletic data and spat out some amazing new activities…and some of them aren’t immediately fatal! More into the romance angle? Check out Jill’s story about a young woman who found true love with a very special sort of doll. VERY special, indeed. And for all you workaholics out there, stick around for Shaun’s lead this week: a cautionary tale about work safety and the perils of working alone in a meat processing plant. And THAT one leads us to a brand new edition of REAL OR BS! It’s time for the Weird, Wild DEATHS edition, ya’ll!
    BUT FIRST!
    In the latest installment of Here’s the Thing, Jill doles out some tough love directed at parents planning to invite adults to their kids’ parties. Should you think twice before mailing out the invites to the single grownups in your life? Find out in Act 1!
    AND! In Three for the Road, hear tell of a finger-lopping disgruntled voter in India, the amazing (un)sexual power of Skrillex, the most METAL knitting contest of all time, and MORE!
    Well it’s one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready FOR…THE WHIPAROUND!

  • PIYAAAAH!
    When even the hosts of a weird news podcast think a particular episode is an oddball, you KNOW you’re getting your money’s worth, and that’s 100% what we’ve got for you this week!
    Dave sets the tone nice and early, bringing us a main piece about the EXTREMELY granular science behind the ultimate butt-wiping controversy: to fold or to wad! Next, Shaun introduces everyone to softball legend, American hero, and one-woman police force, Sensei Piyah! It’s a Floridian story of vigilante justice that’ll have you bless ‘Murica right where you sit. Finally, Phil steps up to the plate to deliver a fastball about the newest kind of trend-setting cake, and this one is bound to sate the sweet tooth as surely as it soothes menfolk out there: behold, Vasectomy Cakes! And, uh, that…that starts up a game. One heckuva weird little game. It’s a Build-a-Cake Workshop and, well, you wouldn’t believe us if we told you.
    BUT FIRST!
    Phil’s got still more science to share! This time around, he’s got news about a possible breakthrough in human communication. Prepare to have your dirty talk polished to a high, private shine courtesy of…SLUTBOT!
    AND! In Three for the Road, we’ve got naked sports thefts, devilish British vandalism, some seriously ashy Easter Dinner, and more where that came from!
    Hey batter, hey batter, hey batter, SWING batter, it’s THE WHIPAROUND!

  • Hey-hey, We’re the Hemogoblins!
    A favorite segment returns for its first encore this week, as Jill brings a bevvy of unsolved and maybe unSOLVABLE weird news items from around the world for us to scrutinize and theorize over: witness the return of UNSOLVED JILL-STORIES!
    BUT FIRST! In Shaun’s latest Cabinet of the Macabre, a recent standup comic passes away on stage, and our lead reporter on all things dark, gloomy, and wonderful takes everyone on a crash course of a few of history’s most noteworthy LIVE, ON STAGE deaths! Alas, no encores for these rare shows…
    In Weird News this week, Phil focuses on Easter, a time of pastels, cute bunnies, and scantily clad mannequins stirring up all kinds of trouble for one New Jersey dentist, and Shaun tells us about a Florida fella who went bare-handed HAM on some pasta outside an Olive Garden…and then things got WEIRD!
    AND! In Three for the Road, hear tell of stolen Waffle House scooters, spiders causing highway havoc, the bizarre “abuse” of a police surveillance camera, and way more!
    Can I get a WEIRD?? Can I get a NEWS?? What’s it spell? Doesn’t matter: here’s THE WHIPAROUND!

  • It’s a Slow (Readers) Weird News Day!
    Double guest alert! Shaun and Phil are joined by those masters of literary digression, Daniel Gonzalez and Gabe Mara of the Slow Readers Podcast, and the energy is through the proverbial ROOF, ya’ll! Seriously. Shaun gets up and runs around like a maniac at one point. The Slow Readers boys bring plenty of fun, but also have a wonderful charity to talk about in honor of the late great podcast pal, Ryan Snyder. Be sure to check out the first link below to find out how you can be a part of saving a life!
    In Weird News this week, Phil blasts us into the future a tad to learn about how people…in the future…are getting, well, BLASTED with non-alcoholic drinks. Huh? Oh, science, you’re so wonderfully STRANGE. Yes, boozy science is coming with word of non-hangover inducing, low-side-effect drinks with NO alcohol…hmmm…
    And Shaun has a twisting, forking, twanging adventure to unveil: with spies, shadowy organizations, and two bullet-ridden idiots in Arkansas. You won’t (and shouldn’t!) believe your ears (at first) on this one, folks!
    BUT FIRST!
    The good doctor rolls up his sleeves and takes a figurative swing at some Presidential blather: when a politician crosses science, few Hulk out quite like our own Dr. La Porta: check out the fallout in this week’s SCIENCE! segment.  
    AND!
    In Three for the Road, enjoy thirty-second shooters of stabby theater majors, snake venom showing up in the darndest places, why Novia Scotia makes Phil super happy and more fun than you can shake a windmill at!
    Luck be a lady tonight; Daddy needs a new dose of…THE WHIPAROUND!

  • Welcome…to This Old Dutch Oven!
    Citizens, we have DONE it! We’ve set an all-time high (or low! Maybe low!) score for fart and junk jokes on this episode…and we weren’t even TRYING. Join Shaun and Jill as they move through the cutting edge of weird news: Jill’s got TWO big stories to tell. In the first, an irate TGI Fridays customer is taking the chain to court over their not-actually-potato-skin potato skins, while in her second dive, Jill has the skinny on an Indonesian widower accused of murder! By! NOOKIE! Somewhere in the midst of all that, Shaun uncovers an Australian miscarriage of justice centered around a man, a tiny office, and someone they call…MISTER STINKY.
    Plus we’ve got TWO BRAND NEW GAMES! Come check’em out!
    AND!
    In Three for the Road, feast your ears on news of bawdy plants, an ALIEN stage production, and a Turkish fellow finds himself filling the airy shoes of Ms. Poppins herself, plus way, way more!
    Listen…do you smell something? LOOK! IT’S THE WHIPAROUND!

  • So Much Rage!
    It’s a WILD week of weird news, and it shows here at Bizzar-o HQ! Dave, Shaun, and Phil each enter the news week with a particularly wooly doozy: first up, Angry Dave has news of a young car rental employee who sought to lift office morale by SPIKING the coffee with LSD! Not to be outdone, Shaun presents the latest and (not-so) greatest plot by the flat-Earth community: a cruise to the fabled “ice wall” ringing our “wet Frisbee” of a squashed planet! And the good doctor rounds things out with news of the next big thing in sports: championship Face-Slapping, straight out of Mother Russia! Plus, we’ve got a new iteration of everyone’s favorite mind game: Phil’s brought Real or BS: Olympic Sports Edition! Play along, why doncha?
    BUT FIRST!
    In a very special THREE-FOR edition of Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, Mr. Hayes has a trio of historically significant deadly conflagrations to cover. Who’d have pegged March for such a fiery month of death? Thrill to the strange ends from New York to England to Japan and experience the kind of Schadenfreude only NOT dying painfully can bring!
    AND!
    In Three for the Road, there is way more poo in those office coffee mugs than you think, scientists are dosing gators with Special K, Germany has a new drunk superhero, and more!
    Hey! Come on in, we just whipped up a fresh batch of…THE WHIPAROUND!

  • There Ain’t No Party Like a Meth-Death Party!
    Have a seat, Citizen, and hear your old pals at The Whiparound regale you with some fantastical, true tales of the absurd! This week, Shaun is joined by Dave and Jill, who’ve brought some mighty outlandish stuff for us to feast our horrified ears on! First up, Shaun’s got a classic story of boy meets girl, boy loves girl, girl is old and sick and goes to a nursing home, boy breaks girl out for meth-fueled, heavy-metal death party, boy goes to jail! Dave jumps in with a bit of a puzzle: it’s a C-ring! It’s a camera! Wait, can it be BOTH? And finally, Jill reads us a little tale of a minor miracle based on hot sauce packets. So very life affirming. And spicy!
    BUT FIRST!
    This week we have a TWO-FER! Act 1 features entries in What Made Dave Angry This Week AND Here’s The Thing…and BOTH serendipitously deal with some serious rage at modern day moviegoers. Better getcha popcorn…and maybe sit waaaay off to the side…
    AND!
    In Three for the Road, eagles are cheating at golf, a killer diet fad, the dumbest birthday gift a Dad ever got, and oodles more!
    Give us your tired, your poor, your hungry, but leave the peen-cams at home, darn you…this is THE WHIPAROUND!
