  • Serial for Breakfast, Anyone?

    Citizens! Hello! Another batch of weird news is here! Huh. Judging by the police tape and splatter analysis underway here, Shaun must’ve brought a Macabre story for everyone! Let’s see. Ok, got the fellas’ run notes here, and it says…hmm…yep. Serial killer. Right there. Oh boy. Oh, it’s a NEW one. Be there with (and maybe FOR) Phil as Shaun lays out the latest case of repeat-killings to stain the American Northeast! AND THERE’S A NEW GAME! Oh, this episode has it all. Unless you came looking for a boring look at like, normal news. We’re fresh out. It’s just wildly bizarre hijinks here on…THE WHIPAROUND!

  • Shaun-denfreude

    Enjoy some happiness at the misfortune of our pal Shaun this week! He’s fine, and hey, who among us hasn’t had a fall-on-our-face kind of week? But it’s not all bummers and sadness:  join Phil and rejoice! Shaun finally, FINALLY unraveled the mystery of the pattern hiding in the Good Doctor’s weekly batch of headlines. And it’s quite the payoff as a guest voice jumps in for a special celebratory gloating. Yeesh! ANYWAY, enjoy a Whippy Episode positively ablaze with fascinating science (Big-Dumb-Thing Deniers EXPLAINED?  Kind of!?), a mic-drop moment announcing some childhood trauma (!!!!), and a BRAND NEW GAME (eh?) Parenthetically, we think you should tell a friend what they’re missing on…THE WHIPAROUND!

  • (Not Just) Death, Hexes, and Sex Toys!

    Oh, what a title. The episode might even live up to it (spoiler: it does. Oh dear god, it really does.) Anyway, the Whipsters are back, and it’s Shaun’s turn to spotlight his kind of news, so maybe wear a hazmat suit for this one. Or at least bring a hanky. There’s been a murder, see, and it’s a whooole scene. Bits, pieces, drugs, buckets: it’s one for the record books. And we’re GOIN’ THERE! Plus, a BRAND NEW GAME ripped off from a VERY RECENT GAME! There’s plenty more, but don’t take our word for it. You should confirm it with…THE WHIPAROUND!

  • The Science of MAN-nnaise!

    Welcome, Citizens! This week, Shaun’s got the segment powers, and so things veer into the dark, the dismal, the unsolved butt-killing of 2022! Oh ho, that caught your attention, eh? Well, come on in and find out just what was behind (ahem) two “Good Samaritans” dropping off a DOA stranger at a major hospital just past the witching hour THIS VERY MONTH! Plus we’ve got the usual treats: bizarro headlines, precious, precious banter, and a BRAND NEW GAME! Shaun wrote it. So it’s fun but…you know. A wee bit grim, yeah? You’ll love it.

    Hiya, Citizens! Brand new week, brand new Whip. Here’s a slice of fried meta gold: this here is an episode focused largely on how a bunch of people were mysteriously unable to change their radios away from a talk-radio broadcast…and the whole team is TRULY hoping you’re unable to tear yourself away from Phil’s SCIENCE-heavy tale…about being unable to tear oneself away from a broadcast!

Shaun’s got a Macabre story that’s one HECK of an emotional rollercoaster: we go from bummer to bountiful as one Dutch man rises to creepy heroism!

  • A MicroWhip!? But That’s the Devil’s Sample Size!

                What happens when, on any given week, ONE Whippy Boi is responsible and the OTHER one is Shaun? Why a MICRO-WHIP, of course! Of course, whenever things are DIFFERENT on this show, the boyos chatter hilariously about said differences, so…it’s pretty much business as usual (read: WEIRD) on the show. Phil’s doubling up a bit, doing science in SCIENCE! (spot the moment he triggers a panic response in Shaun!) and maybe some macabre in a BRAND NEW GAME! You can go to Philbobla Porta Station for some power converters later, Citizens, for now, guzzle some…blue milk. Yes. Blue milk. And nothing else.

  • Ep162 Redux - #TeamCocaineBananas

    It’s a fast but PACKED episode this week, with tons of weirdness from all across the crust of this strangest planet in the known universe! Don’t believe us, well look for yourself (or, you know, listen…which WOULD be faster…but still):

                In SCIENCE this week, Phil delves into the bunko-filled world of those who claim to speak to the DEAD! But is there more than just wishful thinking and a yearning for attention behind all those who claim that grandma has more to say even AFTER she passes? Maybe. MAYBE. Check out what the good doctor has channeled for us!

                And in the wild, rotting world of the macabre, Shaun brings YET ANOTHER recent death, which prominently features ANOTHER corpse in a suitcase. But this time, THIS TIME the case is wide open, the grim questions abound, and our guru of the ghastly brings us right to the cutting edge of a gory, wonderful, awful ongoing mystery!

                Beyond that, we’ve got the usual unusual stuff: fast-paced action in Trainwreck Headlines and Three for the Road, MAYBE a fresh Covidiot of the Week, some listener mail, and a new! GAME! Woo! Let’s WHIPAROUND already!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The Exes opens this week at the PA Playhouse in beautiful Bethlehem, PA. The Whiparound's own Shaun Hayes will be in the show doing his level best to show everyone he's just as amazing in person as he is when he's in your ears. Get your tickets now at http://www.paplayhouse.org/ before they sell out! It only runs the next three weekends!
