In this episode, we cover:

• A Smelly Situation in New Jersey: A Nylabone dog treat plant in Neptune City, New Jersey, is causing neighbors to experience nauseating headaches due to noxious odors. The company president stated they have already spent over two million dollars on odor abatement solutions like charcoal filters.

• The Shipping Container Craze: We explore the trend of shipping container real estate, featuring a Wellington, New Zealand landlord renting a container for 200 pounds a week and a Cheltenham, UK man living in one to save 700 pounds a month. We also discuss two British travelers who booked a $100-per-night Amsterdam Airbnb, only to discover it was a shipping container sitting right on the sidewalk.

• The Harwich Garbage Thief: Irene Slater, a 59-year-old from Harwich, England, has had her full garbage bags stolen from outside her home four separate times. She and her neighbors suspect the thieves might be trying to steal their identities.

• A Long Drive for Nothing: An 18-year-old man in Dunedin, New Zealand, breached COVID-19 lockdown rules by driving 115 kilometers at 1:30 a.m.. He claimed it was for a family emergency, but police discovered the trip was actually just a visit to a Night 'n Day convenience store.

• The Nightmare Apartment: Freddie Gilliam-Webb, a 29-year-old cleaner in Hampshire, England, was tasked with cleaning an evicted tenant's apartment. He found an estimated 8,000 beer cans piled several feet deep, rotting food waste, and a completely destroyed toilet. The horrific smell caused him to throw up three times during the cleanup, which required 100 trash bags and 10 bottles of bleach.
