Episode 142: Welcome to Cadaver Decomposition Island!

Welcome to another edition of…SHOW NOTES! Ok, ok, calm down, you weird news maniacs! Let’s get right to it!

Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre is up first and this time…it’s PERSONAL! No, really. Shaun hates fireworks, see, and there’s a macabreaversay involving an enormous fireworks-related disaster! So brace yourself for some petty, petty, bitter, and PETTY joy from our resident ghoul!

Act two ushers in some incredible Venn-Diagram-as-a-circle SCIENCE! Phil went and found a scientific story that blends cutting-edge tech with mystery, with murder, and some of the best cadaverous terminology ever heard on this or ANY podcast! Send in the drones; it’s body-sniffin’ time! And THAT leads to…a brand new GAME! Anybody remember the good doctor’s brush with “Skin Hunger”?? Well, too bad if you don’t, because here comes our LONELIEST little round of Real or BS in quite some time!

Hope you saved some brain-space, because here comes a parade of STILL! MORE! ODD! It’s Trainwreck Headlines, a new Covidiot of the Week AND the speedy joynewsgasm that is Three for the Road comin’ atcha!

Hey there, your Momma didn’t raise no dummies, you dig our rap! So cut us some slack, Jack, we’re…THE WHIPAROUND!
