INBOX OF ODDITIES 062: Meat Popsicles & Zombie Squirrels In this edition of the Inbox, the Freak Fam checks in with existential snack food, sasquatch fashion dilemmas, and a parrot who might be possessed by a 1960s sketch comedian. A Tampa household has now fully adopted the worldview that we are all just anxious meat popsicles waiting for a mysterious demise. Christine experiences a full-blown BOO Effect and urgently requires a ruling on whether her new sweatshirt is for Sasquatches or designed by them. (Either way, Bigfoot has impeccable taste.) Brett sends photographic proof that Atlanta is teeming with new Freak Fam friends—some of them stuffed. We hear from someone who met a foul-mouthed African Gray who may or may not be Artie Johnson reincarnated (very interesting…). A listener in Iceland regrets missing the infamous Penis Museum (the ultimate tourist trap), while another fears Northern California’s new menace: an aggressive alpha squirrel that might be the patient zero of the rodent zombie apocalypse. Meanwhile, early-episode pug snortles lead to film history, someone swears off chicken for 36 whole hours after Mike the Headless Chicken, and a beloved friend is found again—this time as a museum skeleton exhibit. There’s Exploding Head Syndrome, cursed libraries, punk-band names that are too spicy for polite company, emotional support sandwiches, and sincerely enthusiastic reports of Kat physically picking up audience members. All this oddness and more—proof that the Freak Fam is thriving, terrified of birds, and proudly flying their freak flags wherever they go. Never change.Stay curious. Stay weird. Stay away from angry squirrels. Tickets And Live Show Information Here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
