Wade Boggs Sent Me

Episode 138: “Wade Boggs Sent Me”

 

            The Whiparound is back once again, and this time, well…just read that (patently false) episode title! Let’s get right to it, shall we? 

 

            Hey, Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre teaches the value of a good bargain this week: why settle for ONE bloody, brutal demise when one can track FIVE of them?? Come along back to a year when it was decidedly NOT “good to be the king” in ancient Rome and find out the real price of wearing the emperor’s clothes!

 

            Over in the SCIENCE! department, Doctor La Porta goes a bit fluffy with a piece about the bizarre (and bizarrely effective, apparently) lengths major sports stadiums are going to in order to inject some realism into their somewhat…LESS attended games of late!

 

            And wouldn’t it be a bummer if we didn’t have A NEW GAME! Well we DO! So it’s NOT!

 

            We’re also delighted once again to offer you the very latest, cutting-edge advances in Trainwreck Headlines, Covidiot of the Week AND Three for the Road technologies! Oh, it’s just every weird news junkie’s dream come TRUE and you’ll only find that wonderous fix HERE…at the WHIPAROUND!
