Today's Oddcast - Jabroni Can You Spare Me A Dime? (Airdate 4/24/2023)   A gang of 10 accomplices in Philly robbed an armoured truck parked overnight at a Walmart. The truck was carrying $750,000. In dimes. These masterminds managed to scoop up $200K. In dimes. By the time these geniuses pay the CoinStar fee, there won't be enough left over to pay all the lawyers they're gonna need. And good luck...

Today's Oddcast - Corpse Medicine (Airdate 4/21/2023)   Medicine has come a very long way since the early days of bloodletting and leeches. But once upon a time, human beings trusted a very different kind of cure…the kind that doesn’t come from a fancy laboratory or a big chain drugstore. Some of our ancestors opened wide and swallowed the stuff of nightmares: blood. Bone. Human flesh.   The Bob &...

Today's Oddcast - Weight Weight Don't Tell Me (Airdate 4/17/2023)   A Deep Dive with English Comedian Sarah Millican.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Oddcast - Where Is Everybody? Scientists are increasingly using AI and machine learning in their search for extraterrestrial life, and one man’s algorithm may be the biggest breakthrough yet…leaving us one step closer to the biggest question a human gazing at the infinity of the stars can ask: Where is everybody?   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definit...

Today's Best of Oddcast - You’re suddenly rich...do you turn into a d-bag? (Airdate 4/10/2023) If you were to have more money than you could ever spend in a lifetime, would you keep your cool or would you turn into the type of d-bag who's a menace to society?   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show! See omnystudio.com/listener for p...

Today's Oddcast - Beware of the Bunny   Who doesn’t love a bunny rabbit? Especially the ones that tote baskets of candy. But rabbits are so much more than the cotton-tailed critters of fairy tales and cartoons. Being all cute and harmless and fluffy has helped them keep their freaky secrets…secret. Until now.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’...

Today's Oddcast - Unanswered Prayers (Airdate 4/3/2023)   Nobody loves to fail, but that's the risk you take every time you put yourself out there. In this episode, we celebrate Bob's big success in fixing his wonky wifi - and realize that a whole bunch of what looked like failures actually turned out to be wins.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shou...

Today's Oddcast - Bloody Prankster (Airdate 3/31/2023) Are you one of those people who cook up a successful April Fools’ prank? If you’re lucky, the worst that happens is a little embarrassment, maybe some hurt feelings. But if you’re unlucky, terribly unlucky, that prank can end in bloodshed. In murder.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do...

Today's Oddcast - Flopsy, Mopsy, and Max's Missing Pet Bunny (Airdate 3/27/2023)   It's our monthly bedtime story - but because we're us, we somehow managed to turn a sweet bunny tale into a crime scene...   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show!

Today's Oddcast - That's A Bigfoot! (Airdate 3/24/2023)   Vast, seemingly empty landscapes…not a road, not a house, not a cell tower in sight. People have experienced things that we don’t have simple explanations for. I can’t convince you Bigfoot is real. But it’s not such an impossible idea…just a weird one.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’...

Today's Oddcast - Gilligans Angry Island (Airdate 3/20/2023)   It can just crush you to learn that the actors on TV shows you watched as a kid kind of hated each other. And when the show is as silly as Gilligan's Island? AND they couldn't get along? No wonder no one rescued those 7 stranded castaways.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on...

Today's Oddcast - Take My (Fairy) Wife Please (Airdate 3/17/2023)   We head to the Emerald Isle for a St. Patrick’s Day tale of marriage and murder, fairies, and folklore. It’s a story that changed Irish law and, 100 years later, still reeks of mystery, magic, and the unmistakable stench of burning flesh.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do...

Today's Oddcast - So We're Really Just Gonna Die Alone, Eh? (Airdate 3/13/2023)   When being alone is all you've known, sometimes you just have to roll with it.

Today's Oddcast - Bite Me (Airdate 3/10/23)   Witches, serial killers, and Paul Revere all team up in a story of why a very standard kind of courtroom evidence that could help condemn you to prison might actually be total garbage. Oops! So much for taking a bite out of crime.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show! See omnystudio.c...

Today's Oddcast - Buried Alive (Airdate 3/6/2023)   If you have a paralyzing fear of being buried alive, you've come to the right place.

Today's Oddcast - Mommy & Me Bodysnatchers (Airdate 3/3/2023)   Owning a small business can be super tough. Sometimes you have to get creative just to make ends meet. Maybe that’s why a mother/daughter funeral business got into the illegal body parts game. Gruesome – but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely S...

Today's Oddcast - Banned For Life (Airdate 2/27/2023)   By a listener's request, here's a story we've never told, will never tell again, and probably shouldn't tell at all because knowing our luck, we'll just make it all worse...   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show!

Today's Oddcast - True Space Cowboys (Airdate 2/24/2023)   The 90’s amirite? While the world was fixated on a certain blue dress, a couple of humans were bolted by their boots to the outside of the space shuttle, zooming around the planet at more than 17,000 mph, trying to capture a rogue satellite with their hands. Because the company wanted to save some money. Oh my GOD.   The Bob & Sheri Od...

Today's Oddcast - Grandma PegLeg's Enema Bag (Airdate 2/20/2023)   Sheri never imagined she'd be talking about her Great Grandma PegLeg's enema bag in 2023, but here we are...and that's just one of the wild stories Sheri has to share about one of the meanest people she's ever encountered.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show! See...

Today's Oddcast - Are You Two? (Airdate 2/17/2023) Bet you think your DNA is, well, you. Think again. You might have started life as a twin and never knew it – and your vanished twin’s DNA just might be riding shotgun alongside your own.

Today's Oddcast - Too Many Cats (Airdate 2/13/2023)   Is the only thing worse than being wrong about something being right about it? We've learned the hard way that you might as well just be wrong all the time - because being right is no party either. Whether it's how you decorate the bathroom, what car you pick out, or how many pets you bring home, just make peace with being wrong. Every time, al...

Today's Oddcast - Bright Lights, Big Sleepy (Airdate 2/10/2023)   A late night, a twisting mountain pass – blinding lights ahead. A traffic stop? Maybe. But explain the 12+ hours of lost time…the sickness…and why no one in Sheri’s family will talk about it. This one gets personal – and very, very weird.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do o...

Today's Oddcast - When Family History is Black History (Airdate 2/6/2023)   Sometimes we discover the coolest things about family only when they're no longer with us.

See om...

Today's Oddcast - Tripping Johns (Airdate 2/3/2023)   Nothing to see here – just the government slipping unsuspecting men LSD and luring them back to surveillance brothels. Welcome to the early days of the CIA.   The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Oddcast - Rip Van Henpecked (Airdate 1/30/2023)   It's another Story Time episode to lull the littles to sleep. Everyone's heard the tale of Rip Van Winkle. You know he went wandering in the Catskills, drank from an enchanted flask, and fell asleep for 20 years. What you probably don't remember from the story is how miserable Rip's marriage was. Rip was a lazy dreamer, allergic to a day's...
