It’s another Beautiful Blurry Hysteria as Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things joins us for a journey through the weirdest headlines the internet has to offer! First up, the European Union says yes to mealworm powder in food—because nothing says "sustainable future" like a little extra crunch in your croissant. Then, we dive into the tale of a man who lost millions in Bitcoin to a landfill and is still trying to dig his way to crypto redemption. Finally, we close with a real stinker—a woman sending fart jars to her boyfriend’s ex. Because, as they say, revenge is a dish best served… gassy? Buckle up for absurdity, laughter, and the kind of investigative journalism that only Blurry Hysteria can deliver.

Podcaster
Kevin Crispin is a Mental Health Advocate, Podcaster, Public Speaker, Actor, and Writer. As someone who has suffered from severe anxiety, Kevin uses his life experiences to shed a light on Mental Health as well as work to connect people through kindness, humor, and empathy. He is the host of the weekly podcast Sad Times.
Each week on Sad Times, he has a kind and generous guest who comes on and tells difficult stories from their lives. He believes that difficult stories are universal, but are not universally told. To be aware of our own fear and anxiety and depression can allow us room for the grace and kindness to understand that our fellow humans are dealing with a version of the exact same thing.
He believes each of us is a collection of stories, and that stories are the great healing currency of humankind: the more we hear, the more we heal.
He believes in kindness, he believes in humor, he runs from tornado sirens.
