010: Poisonous Snake Rentals
Woman soiled herself during a marathonMan eaten by piranhas while escaping a swarm of beesGerman castrater on trialKid injects himself with mercury to turn into WolverineMan lives with mobile phone in his stomach10 weird overseas menu items from American fast food chainsElementary teacher arrested after student picks marijuana from reward boxMan Rents Poisonous Snake to Kill His WifeFather Allegedly Shot Son Over Guitar PlayingChicken Wing ViolencePizza sauce led to arrest of car burglar So here it is - I am back after what certainly can be classified as an unreasonably long delay. While I won't offer excuses for my continued poor production and release schedule, I will offer an explanation. I recently made a change professionally, and this was a great decision and a great move for me. This along with my family responsibilities as a single father have really been occupying a majority of time. Things are looking like they are settling down now, and I thank you in advance for your understanding and support! Well you sure get the full compliment of stories in this episode... I mean, I would have found it interesting to get some marijuana edibles from the snack box in grade school and all, but no such luck. I typically find myself looking at food stories quite a bit. I always find it interesting what other people eat and how things are different in other regions of the United States and in other countries. The top ten list here does not disappoint! I hope that you enjoy this episode and as always, hit me up!

This episode pretty much has it all - unintentional cannibalism, stupid criminals, plasic surgery gone wrong, and an attack with hot grits! Where else could you possibly get a mix of stories like this? Check out the NWB Youtube channel HERE to see video short takes. Think single news stories that are maybe about 2 minutes or so. Also, full episodes are released there in audio-only format. I'm also experimenting with posting these short takes on Clapper and TikTok to see how engagement goes with each of those spots. Check out @newswithbill on Clapper and @cigarbill on TikTok, or you can search for the #newswithbill hashtag on either one.

004: Lettuce Meltdown
So here we are...  and where have we been?   Well, I cannot use COVID nor the recent crazy political climate we have experienced here in the States as excuses.  This one is on me.   My day job has kept be extraordinarily busy, to the point that I was working quite a few evenings to get caught up on some time sensitive stuff.   Of course, there are the extra work projects that I am a part of that have been eating at my time too. Nonetheless, here I am... back again!    Aside from the usual assortment of crazy news, that you have come to know and regret, I was also able to add a personal story. My son and I tried the Firey Five Jelly Belly selections... we tried each flavor together - from Sriracha all the way up to Carolina Reaper!    They were pretty spicy, and if I get my son's permission, I'll post the video of his reaction to the Carolina Reaper Jelly Belly here on the site! Today's story lineup includes the following gems: - Man Fighting Covid Blinded and Paralyzed by Cobra - The Pope’s Instagram Account Liked Bikini Model - Florida mom made toddler smoke THC - Biker is a 3 Time Loser - Company Installs Timers in Employee Toilets - Pastor Turns His Chapel Into a Strip Club - Man on 28-year Lockdown in a Closet - Hitler is Back - Woman Found Part of Her Ear Missing After a Nose Job - Children Sprout Hair All Over After Taking Medicine - Naked Stranger Found Inside Tennessee Home - Man Has Lack of Lettuce Meltdown - Chicago Man Stabbed to Death Over Thanksgiving Leftovers Please let me know what you think of this episode!

002: 78 Cats Make for a Happy Home
And we are back with another episode!  Apologies since the extended delay since the last episode!  I thought that it would be the perfect time to completely start the website over again which is still not done as of this writing... But as you will soon hear, strange tihngs come to those who wait! In this episode...  - Don’t forget your clothes in the drive-thru  - See-through public toilets in japan  - Woman Beat Father Over His Flatulence  - Phone Rescued from National Forest Toilet  - 78 cats removed from Missouri home  - Woman altered $100 cashier's check to $8.4 million  - Toilet blocked by unwelcome visitors  - One hit wonder with a Hatchet  - Woman kicked out of bingo hall for not covering neck hole  - 12 year-old boy suspended for not bringing a toy gun to school  - Man decapitates mother and puts head in freezer  - Iceland supermarket closed after human feces found in freezer You will no doubt be expecting that today’s episode yet again seems to have a lot of toilet-based stories.  I don’t know what it is – these stories always seem to gravitate towards me.  But don’t give up on us – we have a good mother decapitation, flatulence-based assault, and a lady with a hole in her neck.

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. Please let me know what you think of this episode!
