The world is full of amazing people, places, and things—both past and present. This page is home to the weird and wonderful stories, myths, and facts featured in the ‘Dude, for Real?!’ segment of the Thoughts Off The Stem podcast.
While these topics are generally ‘weed-adjacent,’ I occasionally dive into the bizarre side of humanity where cannabis isn’t even required to make things weird. From 6-foot penguins to the man who sold the Eiffel Tower twice, this is my curated collection of rabbit holes I’ve explored when I’m bored, stoned, and looking to be entertained. Have a look through the table below to find the breakdown of the weirdest stories we’ve covered on the sesh.
