4 - Starbucks Tea Rage, Bed Bug Blood Banks & Moths That Fight With Their Genitals

Weirdos #4 comes to you from the playroom. Christy and Brendan cover a scalding Starbucks tea disaster, a scientist who runs a bed bug blood bank on his own arm, a babysitter's most creative excuse yet, and the shocking news that moths fight bats with their genitals. This week: Brendan wants to move to the Cotswolds because Sydney Sweeney is going there, explains why Slow Horses beats James Bond, and refuses to say any more about the CIA. Then two Brendettas: political spam texts from both sides, and a venti London Fog that ends with a burned hand, a soaked pickup counter and one employee yelling "Mop." Plus a babysitter who couldn't get into her car because two other cars parked too close, a mom singing her grocery list at Trader Joe's, Brendan's love of a tiny little cornichon, and his war on Spirit Halloween becoming Spirit of Christmas. In Weird News: moths that jam bat sonar with their genitals, a thief who stole England's rarest ant colony, a cinema that hypnotizes you to see your favorite movie for the first time again, police denying their helicopter drew a giant penis, a scientist who feeds 60,000 bed bugs his own blood, hackers cooking supermarket freezers, and a London dinner table that spins you into new conversations. 00:00 Weirdos From the Playroom 00:32 Brendan Wants to Move to the Cotswolds 02:03 Is Sydney Sweeney the Next Bond Girl? 02:49 Why Slow Horses Beats James Bond 04:47 The CIA Program Brendan Won't Explain 08:36 Brendetta: Political Spam Texts 10:36 Brendetta: The Venti Tea Disaster at Starbucks 13:02 "Mop." 15:59 Everything Is Too Expensive 17:03 The Babysitter's Most Creative Excuse Yet 19:53 The Mom Singing Her Groceries at Trader Joe's 21:46 What H-E-B Really Stands For 22:05 Brendan Loves a Tiny Little Pickle 23:12 Christy Sings About Cornichons 23:42 Christy Wants the Christmas Decorations Out 24:56 Spirit Halloween Is Becoming Spirit of Christmas 26:35 Christy Got Lost in the Mall's Back Rooms 29:10 Weird News: Moths Fight Bats With Their Genitals 31:20 Someone Stole England's Rarest Ants 33:14 A Cinema Will Hypnotize You to Rewatch Your Favorite Movie 36:00 Police Deny Drawing a Penis With a Helicopter 37:44 The Scientist Who Feeds 60,000 Bed Bugs His Own Blood 39:26 Hackers Are Heating Up Supermarket Freezers 41:31 Brendan's Prepper Plan 43:30 London's Rotating Dinner Table 45:31 Everybody Needs to Chill Read and subscribe on Christy's Substack, where every Weirdos episode lives alongside Christy's stories, essays and updates: https://christycarlsonromano.substack.com/s/weirdos New episodes every Tuesday on YouTube and wherever you get podcasts.
