A zombie JFK expected to run with Trump as Vice Prez (according to Qanon), a man whose birthday scam got him wrapped up in a lawsuit, a functional nostalgic Fisher Price rotary phone made for adults because we are all broken inside, a story about US healthcare fees that were incurred for no reason whatsoever, a man who was eaten by piranhas while trying to escape a swarm of bees, and the "jetpack man". All of this and more on this week's news update! We make zero dollars from this, so leave us a 5 star review if you care. Bye!

A Six Flags hero, a man who is so dedicated to screening his calls that he even does it when he's lost in the wilderness, illegal sprinkles, Daniel Craig reinventing masculinity, Hooters showing that they can be even more out of touch, and a delusional (or vengeful) ninja. These are all of your news items this week. Also, we switched to Fridays because it just makes more sense.

Unintentionally, this week's news headlines mainly fall around the theme of aggressive groups of animals wreaking havoc on the citizens of this land. Please remain vigilant. Submit your strange news articles to @friendsoffpodcast on IG and don't forget to leave us a 5 star review because we will love you forever.

Well, after a long hiatus and a decision to change direction in the theme of this podcast, Jasmine and Cole are back to provide your weekly dose of strange news! On this episode they discuss the mating crisis, neck bats, stolen head-diamonds, men who are lost & found in Turkey, ankle monitor insurrectionists, and wedgie trauma. Plus, Jasmine discovers that Cole knows nothing about the birth of human life. Catch up with them every Thursday for your weekly dose of strange news.

While Cole and Jasmine try to survive a west coast heat wave (don't mind the hum of the fan in the background), they also try to survive this episode. Your recap of S17E4 of The Bachelorette is here!

The men wreak havoc on our hearts this episode and Jasmine falls deeply in love with Katie, but we still manage to strongly dislike someone. That someone is Thomas. Episode 3 recap of The Bachelorette S17 is here. Follow! Subscribe! Join!

LATE DELIVERY! Jasmine was away last week, so this week it's a double episode drop! In episode 2 of The Bachelorette with Katie Thurston, we witness some cowboy knee wrestling and spend most of the episode wondering what the heck Aaron and the zipper sales manager are even beefing about. Wonderfully, Katie wastes no time in getting rid of men who would have otherwise absorbed most of the screen time with repetitive drama.

Cats, creeps, caravans and Katie! Season 2 of Friends Off Podcast has begun and this time Jasmine and Cole share their thoughts on season 17 of The Bachelorette (US).

Jasmine recounts her experience on After the Finale Rose, explains why her and Kevin's press day was cancelled, and how she decided to stand up to other people's opinions. As Jasmine and Cole close out their recap of The Bachelorette Canada, Jasmine shares her final thoughts through the days leading up to and following the finale, including her flipping some folks the bird at a Grey Cup game in Toronto. Cole gives an honest and sobering take on the franchise as the two of them set up for season 2. Many thoughts. Much opinion.

While it may sound like Cole is sedated, in actuality he is amped to get into Jasmine's experience through episode 9 of The Bachelorette Canada, aka the "fantasy suite" dates. Unfortunately these dates are much less of a fantasy than the viewers might assume.
