In this episode of "Weird with a Side of Bacon," hosts Trevor, Stephanie, and Misty plunge headfirst into the deep-fried grease trap of bizarre news and history. They tackle a Reddit saga about a bride’s wedding dress disaster (spoiler: tantrums and mother-in-law meltdowns abound), marvel at a man who decided the best way to declutter was to drop off nearly a thousand mice at an animal shelter (because apparently, “take a mouse, leave a mouse” is a thing now), and recount the time British witches tried to hex Hitler with a “cone of power” ritual—because nothing says “down with fascism” like synchronized chanting in pointy hats. The hosts volley snarky banter, question the questionable logic behind these oddball events, and rate their weirdness on a scale from “mildly odd” to “call the exorcist.” All the while, they spotlight the hilarity and head-scratching absurdity lurking in life’s strangest stories.
