Weirdos #4 comes to you from the playroom. Christy and Brendan cover a scalding Starbucks tea disaster, a scientist who runs a bed bug blood bank on his own arm, a babysitter's most creative excuse yet, and the shocking news that moths fight bats with their genitals.

This week: Brendan wants to move to the Cotswolds because Sydney Sweeney is going there, explains why Slow Horses beats James Bond, and refuses to say any more about the CIA. Then two Brendettas: political spam texts from both sides, and a venti London Fog that ends with a burned hand, a soaked pickup counter and one employee yelling "Mop." Plus a babysitter who couldn't get into her car because two other cars parked too close, a mom singing her grocery list at Trader Joe's, Brendan's love of a tiny little cornichon, and his war on Spirit Halloween becoming Spirit of Christmas. In Weird News: moths that jam bat sonar with their genitals, a thief who stole England's rarest ant colony, a cinema that hypnotizes you to see your favorite movie for the first time again, police denying their helicopter drew a giant penis, a scientist who feeds 60,000 bed bugs his own blood, hackers cooking supermarket freezers, and a London dinner table that spins you into new conversations.

Weirdos #3 comes to you live from bed. Christy and Brendan report on a week where the news is weird, the crab is stolen, and a stranger on eBay owns a cast of Christy's severed head.

This week: a mafia-themed charity party with real armed guards checking under the cars, a 12-hour UT football day that Brendan is still recovering from, and a kids' Halloween party outfit that made every husband in the room very uncomfortable. Then the comedy show line from hell, an Uber driver's AI techno playlist that should be studied by scientists, and the time Brendan drove for Uber and his very first passenger was Kanye West. Christy brings the weird news: 3,000 pounds of snow crab stolen out of a truck, a Florida man who drove to the police station on his rims, China's pet brick trend, a man who swallowed $760,000 in Tiffany earrings, and a cop who moved into a dead man's house to "prevent squatters." Plus Rose, Bud, Thorn and a guided meditation for anyone stuck behind a slow driver.

A spider spent the whole episode trying to climb into Brendan's ketchup costume. It almost made it.

Welcome back to Weirdos with Christy Carlson Romano and Brendan Rooney. We're married, we're business partners, and this week we're sitting on our front stoop dressed as ketchup and mustard for no reason at all.

This week, in a Brendetta, the young workers at Federal Express just stare at Brendan like zombies. Somebody is dealing In-N-Out on Facebook Marketplace, and we settle In-N-Out vs. Whataburger (sorry, Texas). Brendan explains how coyotes talk to each other psychically. A woman steals a 12-foot skeleton from Home Depot right next door to the police station, and the cops track her down with a drone. Maine holds a wife carrying championship, a 99-year-old wing walker breaks the record and her 97-year-old rival wants revenge, and in another Brendetta, cyclists crawl down the middle of the road at five miles an hour and get Queen blasted at them.

A college freshman told Brendan his car was hideous. Brendan did not take the high road.

Welcome to the first episode of Weirdos with Christy Carlson Romano and Brendan Rooney. We’re married, we’re business partners, and this week we’re in a hot tub wearing shirts so YouTube doesn’t flag us.

This week we settle whether it’s “cuss” or “curse” (and who on earth says “swear”). Florida Man gets caught naked in a park and tells the cops it’s an art exhibit, then changes his story. Brendan explains why he has to fall asleep with the TV on. He also makes the case for the Irish goodbye. And in a Brendetta, a stranger insults his car and gets “so is your face.”
