As HALLOWEEN provides our fuel!
La Porta’s science first takes the stage
Where toilets birth a new space age
Beware Dave’s sneak bologna attack
Do Mischief Night sins have him Hellbound?
Shaun is your guide through orange and black
There is no escape from…THE WHIPAROUND!

October 19, 2017 Episode 2: Break Down the Idols
Episode Notes
Episode TWO of The Whiparound dives headlong into the rising waters of long-overdue cultural outrage thanks to serial assaulter and bathrobe-monster Harvey Weinstein. But we’re not going it alone: the show’s first official guest, blogger and media producer Jill Yapsuga is here to offer her perspective on harassment and the ways females are forced to adapt to unwelcome attention from aggressive males. Jill offers up striking first-hand experiences in what is hopefully the twilight of America’s rape culture. She’s also hilarious, and finds ways to remind us that we’re all very much still in the fight!
BUT FIRST:
We touch base with how our fan base begins to grow and Shaun dreams of throwing his life away in a wild Behind-the-Music-style frenzy, Dave and Phil bare their true emotions about the show’s debut, and Jill gives a brief discourse on mattress beetles. Which are absolutely, positively not bedbugs.
AND LATER…a relaxing, zen-facilitating premier of Dave’s specialty segment: WHAT MADE DAVE ANGRY THIS WEEK! Listen, rapt, as Mr. DiOrio tears into gas stations—sparing neither full-service NOR self-service options in his rampage! He kills a bug, too. Violently. On the air.
IN THE SPEED ROUND…Phil returns to the Doomsday Decibel issue with a sample of the worst sound in the world; Shaun has had it with shrimp tails; Jill admits to her secret love of Ancient Aliens; Dave is seeing North Korean missiles and supervolcanoes RACING to be first across the Armageddon Finish Line, and metaphorical tons more await your eager ears…on The Whiparound!

October 14, 2017 Episode 1: Let's Tackle Death
Episode Notes
On the inaugural edition of The Whiparound, your hosts discuss death, dying, and perspective on nothing less than mortality itself. It’s a six-feet-deep, steel-lined ditch of a great time on the show’s Deep Dive.
BUT FIRST:
A brief get-to-know-you with the guys gives way to some discussion of Columbus Day, Italian heritage from the two Italian-Americans on the show, and options for something a bit more fun in the way of Italian heritage celebration in America. Whom would Dave or Phil nominate to be the symbol of orgoglio Italiano? Quantum mechanics comes up. Obviously.
AND LATER…Phil blows our minds about blowing out our ears with sonic weapons on the first official episode of SCIENCE, MUTHAFUCKAS!…Shaun obsesses over some of history’s most interesting, most ironic, and FUNNIEST? deaths…Dave cracks his knuckles in anticipation of crushing Nazis in an upcoming, hotly-anticipated video game…
AND MORE, this week…on The Whiparound!
