The Hipster Irony, Be a Bear Whisperer, The Dog Food Vegetarian Experiment, Can You Call Dibs on Baby Names?, TSA Comfort Chainsaw

The Liquored Up Low Down: A Bizarre News Podcast

08-03-2022 • 1 hr 13 mins

This week we try to find a job for Tom. A man thought a picture of a hipster was a stolen image of him, but it wasn't (the irony!). There is a job opening in Montana as a Bear Whisperer. A dog food company is paying people to sniff their own dog's poop. We discuss whether one can call dibs on baby names (spoiler alert: no, one can't). A St. Louis man tried to photocopy his butt in a crowded lobby because he thought it would be a good joke for his girlfriend. Our last official article is about the yearly top 10 list of confiscated items by the TSA. And finally, this week in duh includes a brewery that is making Molotov Cocktails in the Ukraine.
