LThe show kicks off with Craig's recording space, dubbed The AfterWyrd Library, showcasing a new, custom-made owl. The talk quickly turns to Halloween, Andy’s partner Becky's Ekba doll costume, and the creepy doll customisations in Craig’s window that are now terrifying local wildlife. The segment concludes with a discussion on the enduring, yet debunked, urban myth of razor blades in apples.
Trump, Tapes, and the Aviatrix:
Andy introduces a topical, wyrd news story: President Trump's sudden move to declassify secret government records related to the 1937 disappearance of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. The Wyrdo's revisit the horrifying, plausible theory that Earhart survived a crash landing on a remote island, only to be consumed by giant land crabs.
Weirdception: The Smoking Gun Proof:
Andy follows up with a related story: Aerial footage from 1938 that potentially provides a "smoking gun" of Earhart's long-lost plane. The photo shows a "strange metallic object" in a lagoon on the island of Nikumaroro. An expedition is due to set off to investigate this object, believed to be the main body and tail of the legendary Lockheed 10E Electra.
The Mystery Odour & the Malicious Farter:
Craig introduces a light-hearted, yet costly, story from South Carolina about a teaching assistant who was arrested for repeatedly using a fart spray in his high school. This leads to a bizarre historical footnote: the deadliest fart in history—a Roman soldier's indecent gesture in a sacred temple in 570 BC that triggered a riot and resulted in over 10,000 deaths.
Chuckle Breaks Bad & The Hairy Space Junk:
Craig offers two quick-fire weird news items: an update on the menacing 31 Atlas Comet that is now confirmed to be much bigger than originally thought, and the shocking news that children's TV star Paul Chuckle (of the Chuckle Brothers) has gone hard man gangster, swapping slapstick for gruesome hits as "The Jackal" in a new mobster movie, Fall to the Top.
Andy’s final piece of weird news concerns a giant hairy object that smashed into a farm in Argentina. The carbon fibre cylinder, potentially space junk, baffled experts due to its peculiar covering of black, hair-like fibres.
Brucie's Ghost: Nice to See You, To See You Nice!
Craig wraps up with a perfect spooky season story: the ghost of TV legend Sir Bruce Forsyth is allegedly haunting the London Palladium. A paranormal specialist named Brocard claims she heard his famous catchphrase echoing in the theatre. Craig triumphantly confirms that Brocard’s ghost husband, Edwardo (a 'devilishly handsome Victorian soldier'), had indeed been divorced after less than a year.
