Episode 128: Things to Do in Jersey When You’re a Llama

           WE’VE GOT A GAME ABOUT INSURANCE THIS WEEK!

            Ok. Now that the most exciting piece of our show is out there, here are some lesser highlights from this week in weird em-effin news!

            In Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, hear tell of a New Jersey man who skipped a step at work and ended up stranded…IN A GRAVE!

            Over in SCIENCE!, ol’ Doc Phil explains how llamas and camels are helping to cure some of humanity’s most dreaded viruses. Yep, those sometimes-charming, always-rank animal cousins are out there on the forefront of science, stinking, chewing, and spitting their way into the future!

            PLUS, we’ve got a furious locomotive of strange headlines hiding a single fake headline up top, a brand new COVIDIOT of the week, and everyone’s favorite blizzard of the bizarre, our sextet of thirty-second strangeness, Three for the Road!

            CAN YOU DIG IT!? Of course you can, it’s…THE WHIPAROUND!
