From a world-record kidney stone the size of a grapefruit to a man attacking restaurant patrons with Skittles, this episode of News with Bill proves that truth really is stranger—and dumber—than fiction.A Florida 7-Eleven clerk gets arrested after a Big Gulp battery, while a Las Vegas man lives with his dead roommate for weeks. I cover the Buffalo Wild Wings employee who texted mass shooting threats just to get out of work, and Burger King’s “All Cheese Cheeseburger” that’s literally nothing but 20 slices of cheese. A woman in Florida rips her ex-husband’s CPAP machine off his face mid-sleep, a Maryland woman breaks the world record for loudest burp, and a Minnesota man lands in jail for pelting strangers with Skittles. Then there’s the Burger King “Barbie Meal” featuring pink sauce that looks like chewed gum, the Sri Lankan soldier who had the world’s heaviest kidney stone removed, and a “foot fondler” arrested after sneaking into women’s rooms at night. I finish with the ten weirdest celebrity items ever sold, including William Shatner’s kidney stone, Britney’s pregnancy test, and Elvis’s hair.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

From a woman tattooing her eyeballs blue and purple to a man collecting his own feces for revenge, this episode of News with Bill might just redefine “strange news.”I dive right into the chaos with a KFC customer who shot a worker over corn, followed by an Indian woman whose kidneys were stolen during surgery. A Michigan mom is arrested for cyberbullying her own daughter, and a South Carolina man tattoos a minor right inside a McDonald’s. Then there’s the Belfast woman going blind from eyeball tattoos despite her 7-year-old’s warning, and a South African man stung to death by bees he believed were ancestral spirits. I cover the British pensioner who weaponized his own waste in a long-awaited act of revenge, a New Yorker fatally stabbed over not saying “thank you,” and a bizarre string of Florida fights involving adult toys. Add in a Chicago cop caught peeing in a bar’s ice machine, a teen who tried to murder his mom over cleaning his room, and a German woman turning off her hospital roommate’s ventilator because it was “too loud,” and you’ve got one jaw-dropping episode.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

I dive into the ancient Chinese martial art of “iron crotch” kung fu—where men swing logs at their own groins—and the New Yorker caught smuggling pythons in his pants. A Texas woman wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt gets busted for drugs, and two teens murder their teacher over bad grades. Then things really get wild: a Japanese woman wires $30,000 to “help an astronaut return from space,” a British man practices home dentistry for a decade, and an eight-year-old boy in India bites a cobra to death. Add in a meth-loving Floridian claiming FBI immunity, a Walmart DUI joyride, and a family fistfight over Chinese takeout, and you’ve got the strangest headlines of the week.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

From hot dog assaults to double-decker eyebrows, this episode is living proof that Florida and the rest of the world have officially lost their minds!Things kick off with a Florida man caught on camera defecating on his neighbor’s patio table—because who needs boundaries when you’ve got boldness? Then, I explore the results of a viral “Would You Do It for $100?” challenge, revealing just how far people will go for a quick buck. From a man arrested for hitting a cop with a hot dog to a woman charged after throwing a urine-filled urinal at her nurse, Florida continues to deliver peak weirdness. But it doesn’t stop there—a guy literally named Le’Genius gets busted again, scientists suggest banking your poop for future health, and South Korean homeowners discover bags of feces hidden in their ceiling.

From poop-powered marathons to a cobra-for-hire murder plot, this week’s stories redefine what “strange news” really means!This episode of News with Bill is loaded with the weirdest headlines the world has to offer. I kick things off with a marathon runner who set a personal record after literally pooping herself mid-race—because apparently, endurance knows no limits. In Brazil, a man fleeing bees dove into piranha-infested waters and never came back out, while in Germany, an unlicensed “surgeon” was busted for illegal castrations. Over in India, a teen injected mercury to become Wolverine, and another man lived six months with a cell phone in his stomach. I also cover a teacher busted for handing out marijuana edibles as classroom prizes, a father who shot his son over bad guitar playing, and a man who opened fire over the wrong chicken wings. But the wildest story of all? An Indian husband rented a poisonous cobra to kill his wife and steal her jewelry. From food crimes to snake rentals, it’s a full buffet of bizarre, hilarious, and jaw-dropping tales you won’t believe are real.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

From cursed psychics to centipede bites in very wrong places, this episode proves humanity is still trying its best to out-weird itself!This week on News with Bill, I dive into some of the strangest, funniest, and most disturbing stories from around the world. A Chinese serial killer sells “ostrich meat” that turns out to be something far more horrifying, while a drunk man in Turkey joins a search party—looking for himself. In California, two fake plastic surgeons are charged with murder after a botched butt implant, and in Taiwan, a man gets an insurance payout after a centipede bites his most sensitive parts. Meanwhile, a Tennessee woman crashes a car, strips naked, and eats grass before police arrest her. In Boston, students take a field trip on a party bus complete with a stripper pole, and a man in Florida uses a Walmart parking lot to stage his fiancée’s body. Add in a psychic scam lawsuit, a guy who swallowed metal nails, a Florida woman’s hot grits attack, and another who literally weaponized the letter “G,” and you’ve got one of the wildest collections of bizarre news yet.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

From a rhinoceros head dumped on a Pennsylvania street corner to a woman mailing human blood to her husband’s ex, this episode of News with Bill takes “weird news” to a whole new level of insanity.This week, I dive into the bizarre and unbelievable stories that prove humanity is hanging on by duct tape. United Airlines bans duct tape restraints after a string of midair meltdowns, and a Pennsylvania murder trial takes a wild turn when the defense hinges on whether the accused soiled himself in fear. Down in Florida, a couple is arrested for a drunken spaghetti fight, while a Tennessee man takes “self-sacrifice” to horrifying new extremes during a police chase. There’s also a nurse convicted of mailing biohazardous feces and blood, an Ohio woman wielding a hammer in a road rage brawl, and a naked Florida toll booth flasher. Things only get stranger with a racist neighbor caught on camera, a gun-toting Chipotle customer demanding her burrito, and a Michigan man planting pipe bombs to stop cursing and porn.

From whale testicle beer to a plane forced to land because of a rogue bowel movement, this episode of News with Bill is proof that humanity has officially gone off the rails.A satanic killer in California turns his cellmate’s death into one of the most gruesome prison stories imaginable, while a Toronto strip club starts offering COVID-19 vaccines to sex workers in the most unexpected “pop-up clinic” ever. I count down the world’s strangest foods and drinks—from mustard ice cream to Icelandic whale beer smoked with sheep dung—and trust me, it only gets weirder from there. Then it’s onto a British Airways flight turned around by a disastrous poop incident, a man bitten by a python while using the toilet, and a pantsless Florida woman arrested inside a Circle K. There’s even a couple who opened fire at Burger King over a “too spicy” chicken sandwich and a Mother’s Day gone wrong involving a taser-wielding son. From dipping sauce rage to a Titanic Museum iceberg collapse, this week’s headlines deliver maximum absurdity.

From a Walmart brawl involving a 10-pound log of ground beef to PETA’s war on “speciesist” insults, this episode of News with Bill proves once again that truth really is stranger than fiction.When police in Ohio respond to a disturbance in a Walmart potato chip aisle, they walk into one of the strangest assaults ever — a woman wielding a massive log of ground beef as a weapon. From beef to bizarre, I also dive into a Florida man’s failed attempt to use the “stand your ground” law after brutally beating an iguana, and a Southwest Airlines pilot who decided to turn his cockpit into an adult theater mid-flight. Then, I break down PETA’s demand that people stop using animal names like “chicken” or “rat” as human insults, because apparently even metaphors aren’t safe anymore. Finally, I share the weirdest online sales you’ll never believe — from belly button lint to celebrity air and crypts next to Marilyn Monroe. If you love strange news, true crime oddities, viral internet stupidity, and Florida’s finest follies, this episode has it all. Tune in for laughs, disbelief, and a few stories that might just make you question humanity.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Vegan rap video: https://youtu.be/qACxfKB3iP4LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

From cupcake crimes in Cairo to coffin-building retirees, this episode proves the world’s sense of normal is long gone!First up, an Oregon car thief steals a vehicle—then threatens to call the cops on the mom who left her kid inside. I also look back at the deadly things humanity once thought were safe, from asbestos insulation to radioactive toys, lobotomies, tapeworm diets, and mercury-laced medicines. In New Zealand, retirees are joining “Coffin Clubs” to design and decorate their own caskets—because who doesn’t want to go out in style? Over in Egypt, a baker was actually arrested for making cupcakes shaped like private parts, proving that the Egyptian morality police take dessert very seriously. Finally, families online share their bizarre house rules for games like Monopoly, Uno, and Clue—some so strange they make the official rules look sane.

From snakebites and strip-club sermons to lettuce-fueled meltdowns, this episode proves the world’s gone completely off the rails!A man battling COVID in India was also bitten by a deadly cobra—because apparently, surviving one disaster wasn’t enough. Then, the Pope’s Instagram account “accidentally” liked a bikini model’s photo, and the Vatican’s response might surprise you. In Florida, a mom decided her toddler needed THC to help him nap, while a biker in Kansas City managed to shoot himself mid-race before being hit by a car. Over in China, a company actually installed timers in employee bathrooms, and one pastor in California turned his church into a strip club to get around lockdown rules. Things get even weirder when a Swedish mom keeps her son locked away for 28 years, a Namibian man named Adolf Hitler wins an election, and a nose job patient wakes up missing part of her ear.

How far would you go to win an argument over almond milk?From a quadruple amputee arrested for drunk driving and a man biting off another guy’s nose in an Iowa bar fight, to a Florida suspect who attacked an officer with a Bible, this episode is packed with jaw-dropping moments. I break down a family feud that turned violent over a debate about almond milk versus whole milk—spoiler alert, one of them brought a knife. You’ll also hear about a farmer who survived having his arm ripped off by a hay baler, jail guards punished for blasting inmates with “Baby Shark,” and a passenger wearing a Burger King crown who caused chaos on a JetBlue flight. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a couple who named their baby after a WiFi company for free internet, a meth-throwing driver, a pizza-fueled domestic dispute, and even an illegal backwoods castration ring in Oklahoma. I wrap things up with a Florida woman who told police her name was “My butt just farted.” Strange, shocking, and hilariously absurd—this is News with Bill at its weirdest.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

What’s worse—finding human poop in a grocery store freezer or discovering snakes hiding inside your toilet tank?This week on News with Bill, I dive deep into the weirdest news from around the world, from a Missouri home packed with 78 cats to an Oklahoma man cruising through a Taco Bell drive-thru completely naked. We’ve got see-through public toilets in Japan, a Florida woman who attacked her dad over his flatulence, and a Montana sanitation crew that rescued a working iPhone from a park toilet. I also cover a West Virginia woman who tried to turn a $100 check into $8.4 million, an Australian woman whose toilet was clogged with live snakes, and the bizarre story of rapper Silento’s hatchet-wielding home invasion. And if that’s not strange enough, there’s a bingo hall scandal involving a woman’s neck-breathing hole, a 12-year-old suspended over a toy gun on Zoom, and a gruesome decapitation case in England that’s as dark as it is unbelievable. To wrap it up, you won’t believe what turned up in a Scottish supermarket freezer.

Thanks for taking the plunge and listening to the show! I am going to take a moment and give a brief introduction. Really, if you are interested in weird, odd, and bizarre news stories with a generous helping of miscellaneous tidbits, News with Bill is the show for you! There is a good chance that I will throw some randomness in here and there as well.Here what you can expect to episode:Obviously, I had to kick off the new show with a story about poop. There is a circus in Germany that is selling jars of the brown gold to unsuspecting people… well, I guess they are suspecting because these people are ordering the stuff on purpose.Of course then we have a couple of real gems – a guy that claimed he was using the two dozen pipe bombs he was caught with to remove tree stumps, and the Nazi that shot a woman several times in the back that stole a flag in his front yard. Odd, I know. Since when do Nazis overreact about things?There are truly some odd magazines out there that you can actually subscribe to, and they cover a wide range of subjects – animals, corpses, industrial equipment, end even porta-potties!I found details about a railroad selling rocks make money, and read about a couple of guys that got into a violent argument over a video game.And what is the best way to close out the episode? A kid shoving a Lego up his nose, only to have it come out a couple of years later.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...
