Let's get started with Odd News Plus.

6
00:00:32,379 --> 00:00:37,459
Here are our odd news stories for Friday, August 30th, 2024.

7
00:00:38,259 --> 00:00:42,219
First up, a look at your daily horoscope. If you're a Scorpio,

8
00:00:42,419 --> 00:00:45,619
you need to avoid all the drama that today will bring.

9
00:00:46,319 --> 00:00:51,379
Refuse to go along. Just be careful. Your understudy will take advantage of

10
00:00:51,379 --> 00:00:53,859
this and try to replace you in the show.

11
00:00:56,639 --> 00:01:00,159
Now let's get to our actual for real odd news story.

12
00:01:00,419 --> 00:01:05,639
If you ever wondered what the heck minions would eat if they were to go to Sweden, wonder no more.

13
00:01:05,939 --> 00:01:10,059
The little yellow creatures would head to their nearest Swedish pizzeria and

14
00:01:10,059 --> 00:01:15,499
order the Tropicana pizza, or, as it's otherwise known, Swedish pizza.

15
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:20,139
This Frankenstein's monster of a plate starts off with tomato sauce and cheese.

16
00:01:20,699 --> 00:01:24,239
Okay, but then comes the pineapple and ham.

17
00:01:24,499 --> 00:01:30,419
Wait, you say, that's a Hawaiian pizza. I know, because someone in my family used to like them.

18
00:01:30,579 --> 00:01:33,459
And you say, used to? What happened?

19
00:01:33,679 --> 00:01:36,179
And I say, we disowned them.

20
00:01:36,499 --> 00:01:40,859
But where was I? Oh, right. Tomato sauce, cheese, pineapple, and ham.

21
00:01:41,139 --> 00:01:45,179
Now, let's bring it home with our last two mystery ingredients.

22
00:01:45,739 --> 00:01:52,479
Curry and banana. No, there's nothing wrong with your ears. I said curry and banana.

23
00:01:53,039 --> 00:01:56,699
Apparently, Swedes love bananas, which is totally bananas.

24
00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:01,459
And Tropicana Pizza feeds that banana need on a Friday night.

25
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:05,979
Hopefully a Friday night that doesn't involve alcohol. Because I think the only

26
00:02:05,979 --> 00:02:08,459
thing this pizza pairs with is prune juice.

27
00:02:08,939 --> 00:02:13,379
For even more fun, consider one of the additional toppings the Swedes love to

28
00:02:13,379 --> 00:02:16,719
pile onto the spawn of evil. Peanuts and or shrimp.

29
00:02:17,079 --> 00:02:22,519
And or no. We here at Odd News Plus love to hear about odd things.

30
00:02:22,859 --> 00:02:29,139
And Sweden, you do you. But please, don't put instructions on how to make this

31
00:02:29,139 --> 00:02:31,279
in with any of your IKEA furniture.

32
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:35,399
Or, if you do, make them impossible to understand.

33
00:02:36,417 --> 00:02:42,357
So, like your standard instructions. And finally, apples versus oranges.

34
00:02:42,817 --> 00:02:46,617
Have we ever decided how to really compare these two things?

35
00:02:46,857 --> 00:02:52,097
Is it even possible? To find out, we sent out four lab mice to...

36
00:02:52,797 --> 00:02:54,957
Oh, excuse me a moment.

37
00:02:56,457 --> 00:02:59,797
It's the four lab mice. What did you guys...Sounds of mice attacking.

38
00:03:07,097 --> 00:03:10,577
That about wraps it up for today's Odd News Plus.

39
00:03:10,877 --> 00:03:16,017
A big thanks to the comedy4cast patrons for helping make this show possible.
