The Corpse Flower Stinks & Gross Public Pools
Published 1 day, 18 hours ago
Description
Opie is out east on Long Island overlooking the ocean for a high-energy session with comedian Ron the Waiter and Chris (Fish Guy Photos).We kick things off with the rare "Corpse Flower" bloom—why does nature produce something that smells like a rotting carcass, and why are people lining up to sniff it? Then, the Great Pool Debate: Ron has no fear of public pool water, while Opie remains rightfully disgusted by the "human soup."Things take a turn into the environment as Ron tackles global warming, much to Opie’s chagrin. Chris (Fish Guy Photos) joins to break down the reality of the ocean: why balloons are a death sentence for sea creatures, the madness of banning straws while balloons fly free, and the prehistoric weirdness of horseshoe crabs.Plus: Ron’s unwavering belief in Bigfoot, aliens in the deep sea, and the scientific fact that lobsters communicate by peeing out of their eyeballs.
