Beautiful Blurry Hysteria: Flora, Fauna, and Fecal Folly | 412
Brace yourself for a whiff of the bizarre on this week’s Beautiful Blurry Hysteria! Guest Kevin Crispin of the Behind Beautiful Things Podcast joins Brent & David to sort through a trifecta of surreal news. First, we take a fragrant detour to Brooklyn, where the famously foul-smelling corpse flower is drawing both fans and flies. Then we venture Down Under, investigating rumors of a Queensland teacher who’s been acting downright catty—literally! And because life just isn’t weird enough, we also dig into a beach-balling mystery: why did lumps of “something special” wash ashore in Australia? Prepare for a ride through the strangest stories on the planet!
