We Need to Talk About These Headlines

Hi there hello.
Instead of doomscrolling today, we’re doing something much healthier: staring directly at the strangest news stories on the internet and trying to process them like adults. Because somehow the world continues to produce headlines that feel fake, but unfortunately are not.
In this episode of It’s Weird Out There, we look at a man legally required to eat nothing but Wendy’s chili for a month, an art student arrested for eating AI-generated art, a ceremonial kick that drew hundreds of spectators, scientists developing smart underwear to measure human farts, a chicken restaurant being evicted for smelling like chicken, and Stephen King nearly ending his marriage over Mambo No. 5.
So yes. Things are going very well.
The next time you see something weird in the news, just think to yourself, “Ryan might talk about that.” And I might.
Thanks for watching! Here are some more videos:

Imagine having the job of collecting these special undies at the end of the study. You have to not only touch them, but check that they were online the whole time, and still wired correctly. Then upload— or would that be DOWNload ha —the data.

"Fartology" would be a solid name for a YouTube channel. Think about it, Ryan.

0:15 My Biology professor had a toddler and we were talking about parasites and said, “as a parent of a toddler, you would be surprised how often their hands end up in your mouth.” Little Petri dishes all of ‘em.

I'm not trans, but if I was, I'd probably let someone kick my balls after they were removed rather than the day before😂

So you are saying that that movie about rich girl who cannot control that white powder habit and is afraid that she hurts family with that but then she go high and let go, doesn't have fears anymore no rules, feel free and powerful… So this was about cryogenics after all?

My local page has gotten into trouble MULTIPLE times for their social media (which has gotten very popular for being cheeky). After they sent an accidental emergency alert multiple times at 2am they posted "it was an accident, also chill"

The department only shows that video to suspects when the severe beatings with a rubber truncheon in a back room under the glare of a naked 40-watt light bulb doesn't get them the answers they're ooking for.

Fart study: How do you apply? Do you send a letter saying, "I LOVE to fart! Please let me be in your fart study!" or something? Asking for a friend…
