Episode 141: Sweet & Sour Armageddon
Hide your kids, hide your joeys, hide all your little animals, cuz the Whiparound is accidentally themed around awful animal news this week! (See what we did there? Huh? Heheh, right?) Don’t believe us? LOOKY-LOOKY:
In SCIENCE! this week, ol’ Doc Phil has the skinny on some cows being treated like guinea pigs by some brilliant Chinese minds! Facial recognition software, folks…it ain’t just for humans anymore, nosiree! Hear all about the future of intrusive farming right here! Erm…plus. Well. There’s a problem (AGAIN) when it comes to pigs. You’ll see.
And in Shaun’s Cabinet of the Macabre, the quadruped quandaries continue! In idyllic rural France, there’s been a recent burst of strange and terrible mutilations! The targets? Young fillies…but WHY!? Get the gory details of these meurtes très étranges, plus the good doctor’s insightful theory as to just what it all MEANS here and only here!
We are also DELIGHTED to offer our citizens…a brand new GAME! Shaun tries his hand at creating a session of Whiparound Pyramid, and this one has an extra special BONUS round!
And what kind of showrunners would we be if we didn’t include your weekly fix of Trainwreck Headlines, a new Covidiot of the Week AND our hyper-speed peek into the rest of the wide, weird world of news: Three for the Road!
No animals were harmed in the recording of this episode, THAT WE KNOW OF! We’re thorough like that because we are, after all…THE WHIPAROUND!
