Weird News: Laundry Pods and Smoking Strange Stuff

Ingesting laundry pods and smoking strange stuff make up the headlines in this week's edition of Weird News on the WDHA Morning Jolt.

ANNOUNCER - Time now for WDHA's Weird News with Michael Fuzzy Lee.

FUZZY - Today in Weird News, three people in Taiwan were hospitalized after eating laundry pods.

They received them in the mail as part of a bizarre election giveaway from a candidate running for office in the country with instructions on how to use the pods properly.

One of the sickened constituents said they thought the pods were candy and ate them. A campaign spokesperson did come forward and reconfirmed that they are laundry balls, not candies.

AUDIO - Well, that's nice.

I guess that's nice, but I'm sure soon after ingesting them you realize something is wrong when you burp out soap bubbles.

Whatever happened to the good old bays of campaign bumper stickers that read, "I'm too stupid to vote?" Maybe they should chew on that for a while.

AUDIO - That's a great idea!

I know it is.

And lastly in Weird News, an Iranian man who received global attention for his lack of bathing for more than 60 years and was dubbed the world's dirtiest man has died at the age of 94.

He was a homeless man who spent his entire life without bathing or showering since around 1955.

He chose not to because he believed soap would make him sick.

He may have been right, because just a few months before he died, the locals finally convinced him to go into the bathroom and wash himself.

In addition to his lack of bathing, he also survived on a diet of roadkill, dirty water, and even smoked dried animal feces in a pipe.

AUDIO - Holy s**t!

Here is the perfect example of when not to listen to the people. He should have listened to his gut and just continued on as the world's dirtiest man. He could have made it to the Guinness Book of World Records with the strongest immune system. He could still be alive today eating dirty roadkill and smoking animal feces.

And that's DHA's Weird News.

PARKING LOT PARTIES ARE BACK!

And the WDHA Parking Lot Party is quickly becoming one of New Jersey Rockers' favorite summer activities!

Simple, we get great bands to hang out, play a few tunes, and meet the fans, we serve fantastic food as part of a rock and roll tailgate courtesy of Tapt Event Services.

You MUST win your way in. We design it that way for the intimacy of the space and our audience. You can listen to win on the air or enter the contest to get in online. We will call the online winners chosen at random a few days before the performance and every winner (on air and online) is invited with a guest. But you don't need to bring one! feel free to attend alone if you'd like, after all, you are among friends.

I have LOVED every PLP we have ever done! They have all been incredible- And I chose 5 below at random to post below as we look back on some past performances.

P.O.D. brought the vibe, and they had a massive fanbase that entered!
They gave us their classic "Alive".

The incredible new band Plush broke out this Kiss cover when they rocked the lot on Gene Simmons Birthday! It was EPIC!

It was a blast when Asking Alexandria stopped by the lot to play and hang- Their acoustic performance of "Psycho" from their release 'Where Do We Go From Here"- was killer!

Gio and The Guns came to hang with us the week that their tune "Ramon Ayala" went number one on multiple Billboard Rock Charts and two days after they played Lollapalooza! How lucky were we? Such a fun band and raw, loud performance!

I love including new rockers that many discover on and at WDHA.
Des Rocs stopped by in the summer of 2023 and wowed winners with his flawless performance and storytelling.
