The Epic Radio Show Episode 219

Join Epic and Amy for another Sunday morning of strange headlines, unusual competitions, and stories that prove the real world is often weirder than anything Hollywood could dream up.

This week, the duo explores Seattle's "Inconvenience Store," an art exhibit designed to frustrate visitors with deliberately annoying everyday items, including tangled charging cords and other intentionally impractical products. They also discuss a woman whose birthday celebration took an unexpected turn when she fell into a sinkhole in her own backyard, requiring a rescue.

The episode also travels to Hungary, where 38 competitors forming 19 two-person teams squared off in a national grave-digging championship. The winning team, Tibor Szabó and Roland Farkas, dug a regulation-sized grave measuring 5½ feet deep, 6½ feet long, and 2.6 feet wide in just 1 hour and 21 minutes, earning a cash prize of 200,000 Hungarian forints (about $640).

Plus, Epic and Amy examine some of the strangest winners of the 2026 Ig Nobel Prizes, including research involving cockroach milk and studies on the science of nose blowing, proving once again that sometimes the weirdest questions lead to real scientific discoveries.
