Beautiful Blurry Hysteria: Boozy Apes & Alien Comets | 441
Brent’s out sick (again—we suspect “banana flu”), so Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things returns to the co-host seat, bravely facing the weird without a net or a breathalyzer.
First up: were our primate ancestors a bunch of jungle drunks? New research says our ability to metabolize alcohol might trace back to apes that got buzzed on fermented fruit. Evolution’s happy hour, anyone?
Then we cast our bleary eyes skyward at Comet 3I (aka ATLAS), which some folks think might not be a comet at all… but an alien probe. Is it just icy space junk—or are E.T.’s creepy cousins doing a flyby?
It’s an interstellar cocktail of cosmic conspiracy and evolutionary inebriation this week as Kevin and Conspiracy Bot try not to spill their drinks... or their dignity.

As someone who has suffered from severe anxiety, Kevin uses his life experiences to shed a light on Mental Health as well as work to connect people through kindness, humor, and empathy. He is the host of the weekly podcast Sad Times.
Each week on Sad Times, he has a kind and generous guest who comes on and tells difficult stories from their lives. He believes that difficult stories are universal, but are not universally told. To be aware of our own fear and anxiety and depression can allow us room for the grace and kindness to understand that our fellow humans are dealing with a version of the exact same thing.
He believes each of us is a collection of stories, and that stories are the great healing currency of humankind: the more we hear, the more we heal.
He believes in kindness, he believes in humor, he runs from tornado sirens.
