Episode 129: “I’m Cuckoo for Penguin Sh!t”
Oh, it’s a wild one this week, Citizens! I mean, OUT OF THE GATE, we’ve got a heaping handful of Citizen Shoutouts, a head-scratching blast of Trainwreck Headlines (Shaun still doesn’t know what Phil’s little “secret” is with all his fake stories, do YOU?), and some Jersey trash-talk by North Jersey’s own Dr. Phil LaPorta!
If you make it past that, you’ll find yourself in Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, in which our Reaper of All Things Wretched takes us back to 16th Century Mexico for the FIRST of TWO parts all about a horrifying massacre pitting Conquistadors against Aztecs! We’ve got rivers of blood and more fancy feathers than Phil can possibly handle. Or be remotely comfortable with.
Then, it’s off the frigid wastes of the South Pole with SCIENCE! Phil knows something…something AWFUL and oddly WONDERFUL about penguins, see. Specifically, about penguin GUANO, and, well…the episode’s title is about as clear a clue as you’re going to want. Suffice it to say, penguins are killing the planet. Kinda. Sorta. With poop. Ahem! Moving on!
We’ve also got a brand new imbecilic COVIDIOT of the week, and a breathless blast of oddball headlines in everyone’s favorite rush-job, Three for the Road!
With all that content, it’s no wonder that choosy moms choose…THE WHIPAROUND!
