First, we head to California to discuss the viral, skin-crawling case of the California Butt Sniffer—the prowler that left a neighborhood in shock and the internet in stitches.Then, we travel back to 1932 for the most embarrassing military defeat in human history: The Great Emu War. Discover how the Australian Army, armed with machine guns and thousands of rounds of ammo, somehow lost a war to a bunch of flightless birds. It’s a tale of guerrilla emu tactics, Lewis gun jams, and the absolute absurdity of nature.Warning: This episode contains high levels of confusion, bird-based military strategy, and questionable backyard behavior.
