The Great Rubber Duck Shortage of Portland

from Funniest Stuff Today · host Podcaster

When Portland's annual rubber duck race was threatened by a global bath toy shortage, one man's quest to save childhood whimsy led to international smuggling allegations, a black market rubber duck ring, and the most intense city council meeting in Oregon history. We dive into how a innocent fundraiser became a geopolitical incident involving three countries, two rubber duck cartels, and one very confused customs official.
