How to Wash and Petrify Your Brain!

Episode 113: How to Wash and Petrify Your Brain!

             Wow! Talk about synergy of the creepy AF variety: Shaun and Phil BOTH brought unsettling stories about the human brain for this week’s Whiparound. Turns out great minds think alike, and the things those great minds think are frickin’ VILE!

            But fear not, we start off with our usual lovely weird news appetizer, as Phil unspools a bunch of true-life bizarre headlines from this week and mixes in ONE fake headline…can YOU spot the Phil-born fraud amidst the odd-but-true list?

            And then, in part ONE of our brainiest episode yet, Phil’s got some recent news about MIND CONTROL on Facebook! And no, not the kind that has led to the utter ruin of all Thanksgiving dinners since 2015. This…this one is even dumber than what Uncle Burt’s been reading on TrueAmericanNewz.com.

            Next up, Shaun goes WAY up into the world of cranial trauma on this week’s Cabinet of the Macabre, taking us all the way back to Pompeii and thereabouts, where one lazy guard’s brain has become the stuff of scientific legend!

            And to round it all out, it’s the fastest, packed-tight-with-head-scratchers segment in all of the podcastaverse, everyone’s favorite news blur, Three for the Road! So put your thinking caps on, it’s time to tax that gray matter into oblivion with…THE WHIPAROUND!
