011: Double-Decker Eyebrows 10/31/2022

011: Double-Decker Eyebrows Welcome back to News with Bill, your weekly podcast dive into the world’s most bizarre, outrageous, and unbelievably true stories. In this episode, "Double-Decker Eyebrows," we hit a whole new level of strange with tales that will make you laugh, cringe, and question humanity’s decision-making skills. If you’re into weird news, outrageous headlines, and the kind of true stories that sound completely made up, this one’s a must-listen. We kick off in Florida—because of course we do—where a naked man was caught on video defecating on a neighbor’s glass table in broad daylight. Yes, on the table. Right next door. Not to be outdone, another Florida resident was arrested after hitting a police officer with a hot dog, and yet another launched a full urinal of bodily waste at a nurse. There’s also a Floridian named—wait for it—Le’Genius, who’s back in jail on serious drug and gun charges, reminding us once again that names are not destiny. Then we shift gears to a lighter, but still strange, segment: “Would You Do It For $100?” I break down a hilarious poll where thousands of people weighed in on whether they'd drink ketchup, wear the same underwear for a week, or let a toddler cut their hair—all for a Benjamin. You’ll be surprised by what people said yes to. On the international front, we explore the truly disturbing story of a South Korean apartment that smelled worse by the day—until the source was found: three bags of feces hidden in the ceiling. And from Wisconsin, we’ve got a woman who not only murdered her partner during a meth-fueled sexual encounter but then dismembered him and showed no remorse. She's currently pleading not guilty. Things don’t slow down from there. A high school dance in California was postponed because of bats in the gym, and a Thai woman was left with four eyebrows after a botched tattoo job—she’s finally recovering after a year of embarrassment. And in case you missed it, scientists are now encouraging people to save their poop in a personal “microbial bank” for future medical use. I can’t make this up—this is real science.

010: Poisonous Snake Rentals 03/14/2022

010: Poisonous Snake Rentals In this episode, “Poisonous Snake Rentals,” I cover some truly jaw-dropping stories that are equal parts hilarious, horrifying, and just plain weird! We kick things off with the unbelievable case of a man in India who literally rented a poisonous cobra to murder his wife so he could run off with her jewelry and a new bride. It took a year-long investigation, snake bite reenactments, and forensic experts to finally convict him. Talk about deadly commitment. From there, I dive into one woman’s desperate race to the finish line—while pooping herself mid-marathon—and she still managed to hit a personal record. If that doesn’t scream dedication to running, I don’t know what does. We’ve got a guy in Brazil who jumped into a piranha-infested lake to escape a bee attack… only to become fish food. In Germany, a man claiming to be a medical professional was actually performing illegal castrations on his kitchen table. And in India again, a 15-year-old tried turning himself into Wolverine by injecting mercury into his arms. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. Meanwhile, in Egypt, a prisoner had a full working cell phone in his stomach for six months. That one rings all kinds of alarms. Weird food lovers, you’ll enjoy my rundown of the top 10 strangest international fast food items, including Nutella burgers, Tabasco sundaes, and all-black squid ink burgers. Trust me—this will make your next McDonald’s run seem downright boring. I also cover a teacher who got fired after a student pulled marijuana edibles from a classroom reward box, a father who shot his son over guitar noise, and another guy who fired shots over the wrong kind of chicken wings. Yes, really. And just when you think it can’t get dumber, a Florida man was caught after a car burglary spree—all thanks to pizza sauce and an abandoned pizza box. You can’t make this stuff up. If you're into weird news podcasts, strange true crime stories, and viral bizarre headlines, this episode of News with Bill is packed with jaw-dropping, WTF-worthy moments.

009: Centipede Bites Hurt 10/30/2021

009: Centipede Bites Hurt Welcome back to News with Bill, the podcast where strange news gets stranger, and reality is often way weirder than fiction. In this episode, “Centipede Bites Hurt!,” I’ve got a truly jaw-dropping collection of bizarre, creepy, and wildly absurd stories from around the world—stuff you can’t make up, even if you tried. We start off with the twisted tale of Zhang Yongming, a convicted murderer who somehow got released and went on to kill at least 11 more victims—all while selling their dried flesh as “ostrich meat” to unsuspecting villagers in China. Then we head to Turkey, where a drunk man joined a search party looking for himself. Yes, he was literally helping hunt down the “missing man”… not realizing it was him. There’s also the tragic and disturbing story of a woman who died after undergoing a backyard butt lift in California, performed by a mother-daughter duo posing as plastic surgeons. In Taiwan, a man earned an insurance payout after a centipede bit him in a very unfortunate place—his nether regions—while he slept. If that’s not enough, I break down a wild string of stories that include a naked Tennessee woman fleeing a burning car in a mask and tail, high school students forced to ride a party bus with a stripper pole due to a bus shortage, and a man who robbed the same California bank twice… in three days. We’ve also got a New Jersey serial killer finally sentenced to 160 years, a psychic sued for not removing a “curse,” a man found with a stomach full of nails and screws, and a “Pizza Roll Pooper” who left a nasty surprise in an Oklahoma grocery store. Plus, I cover the guy who staged his fiancée’s body at Walmart and another who attacked someone with the letter G from a courthouse sign. If you love bizarre true crime, freaky news stories, and absolutely ridiculous human behavior, this strange news podcast episode delivers. Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share News with Bill—where weird is just the beginning.

008: Rhino Head on Street Corner 10/02/2021

008: Rhino Head on Street Corner Welcome back to News with Bill, your go-to podcast for the weirdest and most unbelievable true stories from around the world. In this episode, “Rhino Head on Street Corner,” I dig into some truly jaw-dropping and bizarre news that you probably haven’t heard—and maybe wish you hadn’t. We kick things off with a strange update from United Airlines, where flight attendants are now being told not to use duct tape to restrain unruly passengers. Yes, duct tape. Apparently, this stuff’s been doing more flying than the passengers. But the airline insists staff should stick to "designated items" instead. I’m still wondering what those are... zip ties? Feather boas? From there, we travel to Pennsylvania, where a murder trial took an unexpected turn when the defendant claimed self-defense—while also claiming he defecated himself during the altercation. That’s right. The defense tried to make poop part of the alibi. It’s courtroom drama meets toilet humor. Then we’ve got a Florida couple who turned dinner into disaster, arrested for a mutual spaghetti attack. Things got messy—literally. And it only escalates: a Tennessee man cuts off a very personal body part mid-police chase because his car radio told him to save the world. That’s commitment… or insanity. There’s more: a nurse sends feces and blood through the mail, a woman pulls a gun over a Chipotle order, and a hammer-wielding road rager livestreams her own felony. We’ve also got toll booth flashers, pipe bombs from a “moral” crusader, and yes—an actual taxidermy rhino head just left on a Pennsylvania sidewalk like last week’s garbage. And then there’s a horrifyingly racist neighbor caught on video spewing vile threats—while half-naked. This episode is packed with strange news, true crime, unbelievable behavior, and the kind of oddball human moments that make News with Bill your new favorite guilty pleasure.

007: Icelandic Whale Beer 08/17/2021

007: Icelandic Whale Beer In this episode, “Icelandic Whale Beer,” I dive headfirst into another roundup of the absurd, starting with a brewery in Iceland that’s actually using smoked whale testicles—yes, whale testicles smoked with sheep dung—to brew one of the country’s most infamous beers. If you thought craft beer had gone too far, you haven’t heard anything yet. But that’s just the beginning. We head to California’s Corcoran State Prison, where a satanist inmate gruesomely murdered and mutilated his cellmate, leading to investigations into guard negligence and a lawsuit against the state. Then it’s up to Toronto, where a local strip club began vaccinating sex workers—because who says you can’t get a jab at the “Poke ‘n Pole”? This episode also features a roundup of the world’s strangest flavored foods and drinks, from foie gras chewing gum and cappuccino potato chips to curry soda and clam candy canes. I also cover a flight that had to return to Heathrow because of a toilet emergency, a man bitten on the genitals by a python while using the bathroom, and a Florida woman arrested pantsless at a Circle K. And of course, no episode would be complete without fast food chaos—a couple opened fire on Burger King employees over a spicy chicken sandwich, and a man threatened to blow up a McDonald’s over missing dipping sauce. If you love weird news podcasts, viral headlines, and the absolute strangest stories humanity has to offer, subscribe to News with Bill. You’ll laugh, cringe, and probably reconsider eating fast food for a while.

006: Ground Beef Battery 06/30/2021

006: Ground Beef Battery In this episode, “Ground Beef Battery,” we’ve got a full plate of strange news that you’re not going to believe—starting with the case of an Ohio woman arrested for using a 10-pound log of ground beef as a weapon in a Walmart assault. That’s right—police responded to a disturbance in the potato chip aisle and ended up charging a woman with assault after she repeatedly struck her former neighbor in the face with prepackaged meat. Only at Walmart, right? Then I dig into the horrifying case of a Washington man who confessed to a double homicide and left a severed head in the backseat and body parts in the trunk. From there, things somehow get weirder. A Florida man tried to invoke the "stand your ground" law after beating an iguana to death—because of course he did. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. I also explore some of the most bizarre things ever sold online, from a Harambe-shaped Cheeto and a human soul, to celebrity air and belly button lint. Speaking of uncomfortable airspace, a Southwest Airlines pilot was caught watching porn and exposing himself mid-flight. Yes, in the cockpit. We round out the episode with PETA demanding people stop using “animal insults” like “chicken” or “pig,” and I give you my take on that truly cringeworthy campaign video. If you love weird news podcasts, true crime oddities, and stories that walk the fine line between hilarious and horrifying, this episode is a must-listen. Subscribe to News with Bill for your weekly dose of the unbelievable.

005: Bake Like an Egyptian 05/23/2021

005: Bake Like an Egyptian In Episode 5, titled “Bake Like an Egyptian,” I dive into a wild mix of strange news, viral oddities, and head-scratching behavior that only the internet could make famous. We kick things off with one of the most ironically moral carjackings ever. A thief in Oregon steals a running car—only to return minutes later to lecture the mom for leaving her kid inside. He threatens to call the police on her before driving away again. No joke. That’s peak weird news. Then we take a historical deep-dive into the disturbing list of deadly things people used to think were totally safe. I’m talking asbestos insulation, radioactive toys, opium for babies, and even tapeworms sold for weight loss. Seriously, you’ll never look at vintage medicine the same way again. Also in this episode, I highlight one of the strangest arrests to come out of Egypt lately. A baker was detained after decorating cupcakes with inappropriate shapes for a private birthday party. The pictures went viral, and the baker got swept up in a wave of moral outrage from Egyptian authorities—who clearly don’t share our views on frosting. Finally, I explore the quirky world of “coffin clubs,” where seniors decorate their own caskets, and uncover the internet’s wildest house rules for classic board games like Monopoly, Clue, and Uno. If you love bizarre crime stories, historical oddities, and funny weird news, this episode is a must-listen.

004: Lettuce Meltdown 01/24/2021

004: Lettuce Meltdown In this episode we’re diving headfirst into the kind of weird news that makes you question reality—and possibly humanity. This week, we start in Florida, where a man had a full-blown public breakdown at a Checkers drive-thru because they ran out of lettuce. Yes, lettuce. He was so irate, police had to intervene. It’s one of the many strange crime stories in this episode, but it’s far from the only one. I also cover a man in Chicago who fatally stabbed someone over Thanksgiving leftovers. Family dinners—am I right? Then there’s the guy in Kansas City who managed to crash his motorcycle, accidentally shoot himself, and get hit by a car—all while carrying meth. Speaking of chaos, we’ve got a naked intruder who trashed a Tennessee home, covering it in feces, and a biker whose day somehow got even worse than yours. From international insanity, I talk about a British man who battled COVID, malaria, dengue fever, and a cobra bite—all at once. We’ll also explore the Vatican’s official Instagram account “accidentally” liking a bikini model's post, a mom who gave her toddler THC via a vape pen, and a Chinese woman who discovered her ear was partially missing after a nose job. If you love strange news, true crime oddities, and the weirdest headlines from around the world, this is the podcast for you.

003: Almond Milk is not Milk 11/27/2020

003: Almond Milk is not Milk Welcome back to News with Bill, the podcast where I take you through the strangest, weirdest, and most unbelievable news headlines from around the world. In Episode 3, I dive into one of the most absurd fights I’ve ever covered—between two family members arguing over almond milk vs. whole milk. This milk debate escalated into a knife attack, proving once again that no topic is too ridiculous for violence when Florida is involved. And by the way, almond milk isn’t milk—don’t @ me. That’s just the beginning. I also talk about a man in Iowa who bit off another guy’s nose in a bar fight, a Florida suspect who attacked a police officer with a Bible while wearing only underwear, and a woman who tried to pass off “my butt just farted” as her legal name during an arrest. You can’t make this stuff up. There’s a quadruple amputee arrested for drunk driving, inmates tortured with nonstop Baby Shark music, a meth-tossing driver who hit a cop with her stash, and an Oklahoma backwoods castration ring that’s as disturbing as it is insane. This episode has everything: bizarre arrests, weird crimes, outrageous news, and the kind of content that keeps fans of strange news podcasts coming back every week.

002: 78 Cats Make for a Happy Home 10/15/2020

002: 78 Cats Make for a Happy Home Welcome back to News with Bill! In Episode 2, titled “78 Cats Make for a Happy Home,” I take you on another jaw-dropping journey through the world’s most bizarre and unbelievable news stories—because the truth is often way weirder than fiction. This week, we start in Missouri, where authorities rescued 78 cats from a tiny house in horrifying conditions. With deceased kittens in bags and over two dozen buried in the backyard, this shocking case of animal hoarding and neglect is one of the most disturbing headlines I’ve ever covered. Then we head to Oklahoma, where a fully naked man decided to cruise through a Taco Bell drive-thru claiming his clothes were “in the wash.” If that’s not enough, we travel to Japan where public restrooms have gone high-tech—and transparent. Yep, you read that right. The toilets are see-through when unoccupied and turn opaque when in use, assuming the glass works properly. From Florida, we have a domestic battery arrest involving a woman who beat her father for—you guessed it—excessive flatulence. In Montana, a poop-soaked iPhone was retrieved from a forest toilet and miraculously still worked. We also check out the wild case of a woman who altered a $100 check to make it worth $8.4 million and hoped no one would notice. As if that weren’t enough, we talk snakes in toilets, a rapper wielding a hatchet, a bingo hall discrimination case, and a supermarket freezer that turned into a biohazard zone thanks to some misplaced human waste. If you love weird news, bizarre crime stories, and the strangest headlines from around the world, this is the podcast episode you don’t want to miss. Subscribe, share, and stay weird with me!
