March 06, 2019 I, Webmistress, with Special Guest Host Caroline La Porta!
Join us for a very special guest appearance this week: Caroline La Porta, our gifted webmistress, steps in front of the mic for the first time and WOWS Phil and Shaun with the arsenal of weird news she has at her disposal. In fact, our gal-behind-the-scenes brought her very own SEGMENT! Find out the deeper story behind one of the Academy Awards’ most talked-about outfits in the kind of special report ONLY a consummate costumer could conjure in the premier of: They Wore WHAT!?
BUT FIRST!
Caroline, Shaun, and Phil are loaded for bear…or bare? Or…loaded like a buncha bears? Either way, they’ve got all the weird news you need to set your week right on its ear! Rejoice in our lack of Smell-o-Sound as Phil regales us all with a tale of fiery bovine garbage! Lift your hands and shout “Hallelujah Asterisk!” when Shaun goes all fire and brimstone to reveal the latest in religious resurrections! Help us untangle Caroline’s mystery of the Canadian shotgun victim who ended up with a befuddling twist to her injury! And stick around, because as soon as all that’s done, we’ve got a game! And YES! Caroline brought THAT, too! This time around, it’s a Real or Bullsh*t with a decidedly strange beautifying twist!
AND!
In Three for the Road, witness the rise of the hipster clone army, the focused efforts of the CIA to disprove Wakanda, and a bunch of drugged out, thieving parrots!
We’re the best, we’re the beautiful, we’re the only…WHIPAROUND!*
*That matters, anyway.

February 27, 2019 Episode 69: Our 100% Mature Episode Number 69.
Well, well, well: it’s episode 69, and we’re obviously WAY too mature to ever joke about that number. This is a somber, sober, dignified weird news podcast. So don’t come in here expecting a bunch of silly 69 gags peppered throughout the bizarre headlines of the week. ALRIGHT, FINE! You got us. Of COURSE we yuck it up about a certain reciprocal act of love. The heck do we look like, NP-freakin’-R?? Get in here and giggle with us, ya reprobate! Check it out: Jill brought in a news piece about cockroaches laying a veritable SEIGE on a hospital that’s less than popular with its workers already, Shaun trots out a story about a hidden pinball paradise, and Phil brings us news of layered contraception that takes a wide and hilarious detour through mixed drinks. Because of COURSE it does!
BUT FIRST!
Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre is back, and this time the focus is on a little place called Andersonville and the brutal, lethal origins of the word DEADLINE! It’s a doozy for sure!
AND what do a gaggle of cross-dressing horses, a small fleet of sperm-a-copters, and a Florida-based assault with a deadly toilet have in common? Why, they’re but a TASTE of what awaits you in our latest edition of Three for the Road!
Let’s all have a good time at the SAME time on the 69th edition of…THE WHIPAROUND!

February 20, 2019 Episode 68: The Amazing Adventures of Javier and Flart!
Oh dear, but this episode is a particularly wild one! Shaun turned up an ongoing story about disembodied FEET, Dave serves up a charming restaurant-scam story just in time for Valentine’s Day, and Phil ends the day with the strangest anime tale we’ve heard yet, and THAT brings us the return of our Build-a-BLANK workshop with a strange, bewildering, hilarious new edition: come play along, why dontcha?? You might meet some new (and awful) cartoon characters based on caffeine and uh, well. Lactose Intolerance!
BUT FIRST!
Dave brings us a traffic-inspired rant on what promises to be a divisive (but definitely entertaining) What Made Dave Angry This Week!
AND, in Three for the Road, we’ve got a Darwin Award-winning bullet-proof vest tester, a case of dog BREAKS man, a fantastically historically accurate dunk FAIL on the biggest stage of them all and way, way, WAY more!
Shaun’s pushed to his limit on this one, and it’s darned hilarious, so what are ya waiting for, get on into…THE WHIPAROUND!

February 06, 2019 Episode 66: Whippety Ricket’s A Series of Unusual Disasters
Hey hey, Citizen! Step right up and behold one of your favorite weird news podcasts at its VERY strangest: this week, find out what one dog salon owner did to make boring old dog testicles really shine! We’ve also got a bizarre health alert that’ll make you think twice about juggling all that cat poo you’ve been collecting, AND, to round things out…an unsolved murder tearing a small French village apart! Oh, the humanity! Well. The rabbit-ity. A bunch of rabbits are dead, alright, but we SWEAR it’s weird to the ears, don’t you worry!
PLUS…A NEW GAME! Shaun has a smorgasbord of idiots, dolts, and ne’er-do-wells that graced the blotters of police desks across the country and challenges Dave and Phil to a fill-in-the-blank style game of They Did F’ing WHAT!?
BUT FIRST!
Dr. Phil is here to connect history with modern problems! What could The Great Dying of the past have to do with imbeciles ruining the planet today? Find out in the latest installment of SCIENCE!...It Still Matters, Dammit!
AND, in Three for the Road, we’ve got strangers bearing stinky bologna, hands in the pants research results, wild turkeys gone, er…crazy, and a DUPLICATE story that gives one lucky Whiparound fan some free stuff!
Cold hands, warm heart. Weird news, HOT WHIPAROUND!

January 30, 2019 Episode 65: Love in the Time of Rodentistry
Shaun and the Ills blast into a (slightly) super-sized episode with weird news just BURSTING the metaphorical seams! It seems Jill discovered a bizarre and bizarrely *popular* trend in modern America, and it absolutely, positively involves shoving rat heads into people’s mouths.
Shaun continues the odd medical trend with a story about a startup company selling the cure for social and fiscal responsibility: SICKNESS on demand! And Phil rounds things out with some unwelcome T&A at a Russian bank! And that one...that one goes as wonky as you might expect. But it also leads us to a new game!
BUT FIRST!
A historically dark and storied week of the calendar inspired Shaun to bring you all a deluxe Cabinet of the Macabre! The highlight? Regicide’s delightfully morbid ripple effects! The whole thing drives Shaun into full-blown grim nirvana!
AND, in Three for the Road, Jill’s got still more medical oddities from humanity’s besotted past, Shaun brings your toilet-Monster nightmares to life, the good doctor calls out yet another dum-dum take on science, and WAY more!
It’s weird, wild stuff, folks! Heeeeere’s THE WHIPAROUND!

January 23, 2019 Episode 64: Come and Get Your Tickets for the Crazy Train!
Phil, Dave, and Shaun brave frigid temperatures and wildly bizarre turns of phrase to bring YOU the best of this week’s weird news! Shaun goes first this time, and he’s got the scoop on an amateur physician with a whole new take on the “power of love.” Next up, Dave settles in for a story about a dine and dash-er so vile, so downright douchey that he wound up ARRESTED! Finally, the good doctor Phil has a true story about a counterfeiting scandal gripping a…middle school?? To close out the main event, Doc La Porta leads the boys in a riotous new game: Real or BS, Student Criminal Edition!
BUT FIRST!
Everyman Dave begins the week’s work with a What Made Dave Angry This Week all about the terrible, frustrating, lamentable life of THE HOUSEGUEST! Join us as Mr. DiOrio ticks off the top three nightmares associated with crashing in an “away game” situation.
AND, in Three for the Road, a rapidly repeating offender tuckers himself right out of consciousness and into jail, the pope’s repping a new prayer app, a ten-foot-tall booby-trapped snowman foils some joyless vandals and WAY more!
Be sure to arrive at least one hour before takeoff and never leave your bags unattended, you’re about to fly the friendly airwaves with your pals at…THE WHIPAROUND!

January 16, 2019 Episode 63: “Smoking, Sinking, and Burning!”
Once again, the Whiparound brings the oddest oddities to your ears! This week, Shaun is joined by Dave and Jill for some fresh, off-kilter antics. First, Shaun’s brought in a story about a clever Chinese entrepreneur offering a convenient space to vent one’s rage on innocent inanimate objects, then Jill takes center stage to lead us all through the laziest of near-fatal shootings in Iowa, whereupon Dave…goes to Reddit. To talk about…mirror sales? Have no fear; it’s weird. It’s REALLY weird.
BUT FIRST!
In her first Here’s the Thing of the New Year, we discover that Jill’s found the most unusual wedding-based TV show yet, and said program has given her some wisdom for the single ladies and gents out there.
AND, in Three for the Road, wine flows from a Pringles can in a Walmart parking lot, chicken fingers litter a congested highway, and have have our first ever WHOOPSIE DAISY double-up on the show’s history, with Dave and Shaun EACH finding the same article about a…multitasking mother who found a stimulating answer to a tricky health concern!
This one’s a wild and wooly one, not gonna lie, so buckle up and brace yourself, we’ve got ourselves a case of…THE WHIPAROUND!
