  1. Toupee Cocaine

    11/20/2025

    Toupee Cocaine

    A severed leg, a shark selfie gone wrong, and a toupee full of cocaine—this episode might be the strangest one yet! I dive straight into chaos as I unpack the California man who walked off with a severed leg after a deadly train collision, a scene so bizarre it broke the internet with its disturbing viral video. From there, I head to Florida, where TSA officers uncovered a handgun stuffed inside a raw chicken, raising the question of whether people are getting dumber or more creative at airport security. Things get even wilder as I cover the Canadian tourist in Turks and Caicos who lost both hands trying to photograph a shark, a reminder that wildlife isn’t interested in selfies. I break down the Colombian man caught smuggling cocaine under his toupee, Hertz charging a Tesla driver for “refueling,” a Las Vegas man who claimed aliens told him to kill his father, and a Florida roommate attacked with pizza dough. I wrap up with turtles in pants, a laundromat dismemberment destined for a casino, a bomb plot complete with python plans, a fart spray school evacuation, and over 100 animals living in a New Jersey home. Strange news doesn’t get stranger than this, and I’m here for every insane detail. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!

  2. Fake Chinese Pandas

    Fake Chinese Pandas

    From fake pandas and face-eating cannibals to fried chicken assaults and emotional support alligators—this episode proves truth is always stranger than fiction. This week on News with Bill, we start in Florida, where an 18-year-old woman was arrested for beating her 65-year-old boyfriend, proving once again that love and logic don’t mix in the Sunshine State. Then it’s off to Las Vegas, where a man “tweaking” on drugs reportedly ate his victim’s face, leading me to question whether horror movies are just following the news now. In Ohio, two women propped up a dead man to withdraw cash—talk about taking “weekend at Bernie’s” too literally. From a live eel removed from a man’s abdomen in Vietnam to a Chinese zoo painting dogs to look like pandas, the weird doesn’t stop there. Add in fake Chinese body armor sold to an Ohio SWAT team, a man named Deez-Nuts, and a Bible attack at Walgreens, and you’ve got one wild ride through the world’s strangest headlines. It’s disturbing, hilarious, and absolutely real—just another day on News with Bill.

  3. World Record Kidney Stone

    World Record Kidney Stone

    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!

  4. Blood Cocktails

    Blood Cocktails

    From blood-laced cocktails to a couple who built their own guillotine, this episode of News with Bill is proof that human stupidity knows no limits. A naked woman attacks a homeowner with a frying pan and gets shot in the leg, while an Indian couple takes DIY to a terrifying new level with a homemade beheading ritual. I cover the Japanese waitress fired for mixing her own blood into customer drinks, a man in Pennsylvania caught driving a stolen school bus with a dead deer in it, and a nutrition company hiring a professional “Poommelier” to analyze feces for science. Then there’s the Chinese thief who hid in a cave for 14 years, a Florida man who slapped his girlfriend with a slice of pizza, and students in England discovering feces taped to their front door. Things only get stranger with a Monopoly game that ends in a samurai sword fight, a Florida man who shoots his girlfriend in the back and calls it self-defense, and German officials busting a van full of cooked bats and unrefrigerated fish. Weird news, dark humor, and absolute madness—this one’s a wild ride. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!

    Ketchup Survival

    From a sailor surviving 24 days at sea on ketchup to a topless rampage inside a North Dakota church, this episode of News with Bill serves up the strangest true stories you’ll hear all week. An 82-year-old woman shocks funeral home staff by waking up after being pronounced dead, while a Florida shoplifter attacks a clerk with Slim Jims. I cover the Kansas man fatally shot by his dog, a Texas death row inmate who gouged out his own eyes, and a teacher who faked a bomb threat just to get a day off. Things only get weirder with a topless drug-fueled church meltdown, McDonald’s accidentally advertising its “McCrispy” sandwich beside a crematorium, and a Chicago woman hiding her mother’s body in a freezer for two years. A Minnesota woman is arrested for assaulting her boyfriend with a whole chicken, and a doctor in the early 1900s literally ate human feces to prove a disease wasn’t contagious. Finally, Heinz searches for the “Ketchup Boat Guy” who lived off condiments at sea, and a couple in Philadelphia turns a canned gravy argument into a shootout.

  6. Tattooed Eyeballs

    01/29/2023

    Tattooed Eyeballs

    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.

  7. Home Dentistry

    Home Dentistry

    From a man pulling out his own teeth with pliers to a Japanese woman scammed by a “spacebound astronaut,” this episode of News with Bill might make you lose faith in humanity—and your lunch. A Florida woman is charged with child abuse after a 4-year-old was found drugged with Nyquil and Xanax, while in India, a family keeps their dead relative’s body for over a year thinking he’s in a coma. 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.
