- Episode 29: The MICRO Whiparound: Now with 100% more ASMR!Episode NotesIt’s like a frozen can of Whiparound Concentrate in Mom’s freezer: this week, the Whiparound has been distilled into a THIRD of its usual length while still bringing you all the incredible (and incredibly weird) takes on the news and current events. We’ve been TRAVEL sized for ease in sharing with friends, relatives, sleeping hospital patients, curiously intelligent horses, and paintings with eyes that follow you around the room. So pass this guy around!The Ills and Shaun waste no time getting to business: Phil returns with some legitimate news about…a gaydar machine?! Jill and Shaun have their doubts, but there’s actually some computery science at play…we think.In the Deep Dive, it’s all about the strange, soothing, sleep OR frustration-inducing phenomena taking Youtube by sonorous storm: ASMR. An upcoming comedy/ASMR fusion album gets Shaun, Phil, and Jill discussing their takes on “Head Tinglers,” how close this all wanders toward porn, and MAYBE even take a stab at some whisper-gold themselves.And of COURSE, Three for the Road careens into some fascinating territory: King Tut’s disappointing lack of secret Mommy rooms, Matthew McConaughey goes singing in the rain, and MAYBE Milli Vanilli wrote Shakespeare’s plays!We’re killing you softly—with KNOWLEDGE—ON THE WHIPAROUND!LINKS:Brandon Wardell to Release ASMR Comedy AlbumScientists have found out why voices like Bob Ross' is so soothingWhite Noise and Sleep InductionHow Researchers Are Beginning to Gently Probe the Science Behind ASMRWhy Stanford Researchers Tried to Create a Gaydar MachineDeep neural networks are more accurate than humans at detecting sexual orientation from facial imagesNapflix: Siesta Video PlatformChildish Gambino Music Video, “This is America”New Jersey's Mystery High School Pooper Turns Out To Be School SuperintendentEgypt says no hidden rooms in King Tut's tomb after allPolice department in Michigan jokingly says it changed patrol cars to read “popo”China’s Watchful EyeNASA Mars InSight MissionSolar powered clean drinking water trialedJill Yapsuga’s Youtube Series: Welcome to SpinsterhoodTAGS:Whiparound, ASMR, Comedy, Science, History, Newsitunes:[email protected] googleplay:[email protected]Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com & www.soundsnap.comSpecial thanks to DanO for the awesome music.

- Episode 28: This is Your Brain on Comedy (Ew.) with Guest Steve BostEpisode NotesComedian, trivia host, and man of many metaphorical hats Steve Bost jumps into a pair of headphones with Jill and Shaun just in time to discuss the dazzling, deviling performance by Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner! But first, Steve discusses his many gigs, gives Shaun a lead on some serious cider, and unveils a top secret medical project (sort of)! But then it’s time to get comedy on that leather couch and get up to some sweet, sweet psychoanalytical jam, ya’ll! And of COURSE we talk about SYNERGY, are you kidding me right now? TONS! TONS OF SYNERGY FOR ALL!Watch out for strangely sensitive farm animals; you’re approaching THE WHIPAROUND!LINKS:Michelle Wolf was the big winner of the WHCD, not TrumpPaper-folding art inspires better bandagesDave Chappelle: Equanimity & The Bird Revelation | Netflix Official SiteMan gets friendzoned on national television and it’s so cringey it’s painfulThe 40-year hunt for a killerHere's How Surgeons Performed The World's First Penis And Scrotum TransplantHow Allison Mack Allegedly Recruited Women Into NXIVM Sex CultJill Yapsuga’s Youtube Series: Welcome to SpinsterhoodTAGS:Whiparound, Michelle Wolf, Comedy, Boundaries, Thematic Apperception, Roastsitunes:[email protected] googleplay:[email protected]Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com & www.soundsnap.comSpecial thanks to DanO for the awesome music.

- Episode 27: A Toast to Ways Less Riven with Fuckerey with Paul FidalgoEpisode NotesThis week, Shaun and Dave are joined by Paul Fidalgo, the Communications Director for the Center for Inquiry. With a LOT of ground to cover—everything from rescues in Bangladesh to pushing back against rampant quackery—the group goes positively careening from topic to topic with no time to spare! The nature of secular humanism? We’ve got that. The paradoxically liberating and inhibiting nature of social media freeing and smothering the dialogue of and between freethinkers and the faithful alike? Check. A hilarious break into a thrilling round of The Build-a-Cult Workshop? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT! Paul proves to be an energetic, enthusiastic and kind-hearted guest, but will he be able to withstand the gauntlet of frustration Dave has up his sleeve? We’ve got mesh tops, snake oil, and a cash booth here, which can only mean it’s time for…THE WHIPAROUND!LINKS:Government vs. God?
