This week on Blurry Hysteria, we’re heading straight into the entomological underworld and… the world’s weirdest fertility-themed Grand Prix?
First, we dig into the ant-ics of smugglers trying to sneak live garden ants out of Kenya like they’re the latest black-market superfood. Belgian and Vietnamese nationals were caught trying to scurry away with these little critters, but the real question is: why ants? And how do you even get through customs with a suitcase full of bugs?
Then, we pivot from ants to, well, another kind of swarm—Sperm Racing. That’s right, Los Angeles hosted a very real, very bizarre event where hundreds of people gathered to bet on which donor’s little swimmers could outpace the rest in a lab-rat drag race. Science? Art? Performance? Vegas-style fertility? We’re not entirely sure, but someone brought pom-poms.
Grab your popcorn and your magnifying glass—this episode's got creepy crawlies, reproductive roller derbies, and the kind of news that makes your search history deeply suspicious.
