The "Plastic Soul" & The Tickle Me Felony

from Strange Scapes · host Adam and Ronna

First, we dive into the world of sustainable streetwear. We’re breaking down the story of Rose In Good Faith, the Los Angeles brand that decided the best way to save the planet was to put recycled sex toys on your feet. Partnering with a major adult toy manufacturer, they’ve created "Plastic Soul" shoes made from upcycled materials that didn't pass quality control. It’s a literal take on "sexual wellness" that you can wear to the grocery store. Is it the future of apparel, or a step too far?Then, we pivot to a story that will ruin your childhood. We discuss the disturbing case of a man arrested for molesting Elmo. We dig into the bizarre headlines surrounding the arrest, the fallout for everyone’s favorite red monster, and the surreal legal drama that followed. It’s a "sunny day" turned very dark as we look at how a beloved Sesame Street icon ended up at the center of a criminal investigation.
