     Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome…to FLUFFY WEEK on the Whiparound! It’s like the regular Whiparound but…y’know. Cuddlier! Friendlier! Still weird, still news, but THIS week it’d make for a nice travel pillow, too! It’s just so airy and nice and there’s totally a random gay porn joke in there, so YES! FLUFFY! To wit:

     In SCIENCE!, good ol’ Doctor Phil discusses a recent study connecting one’s proclivity to hug and otherwise physically express them thar affections to…one’s BLOOD! Specifically it’s about hereditary this versus learned that and…Phil makes it all make sense, AND he’s a hugger, so that guy would totally know!

    On the LESS-hug-friendly (but still FLUFFY!) Macabrenet this week, Shaun is thrilled to bring you word of the very latest innovation in haunted house trends: a Japanese company with a breakthrough in Big Dumb Thing era haunted “houses”! Listen in and maybe consider sending your favorite weird news podcast hosts some funds to head on over and check this thing out; we’re DYING to go on a horror-themed field trip, ya’ll!

    Somehow, with all that being said, there’s STILL more FLUFFY fun to be had: you’ve still got Three for the Road, a fresh Covidiot of the Week, Trainwreck Headlines, and MORE to look forward to! AND IT’S ALL AT LEAST A LITTLE FLUFFY!

            You’re welcome! Signed…the WHIPAROUND!
