Jerking Around On The Table

So, I guess we're just bringing animals back from the dead, then? Cool, cool. And then, he said he killed them to end their suffering, but we're not buying it. The scientists who are trying to bring back the woolly mammoth and the serial killer dubbed "the Angel of Death" in BOX375. Bread is bad for ducks.

The Freak Family grows!

Hey, freaks! We are super excited to share with you that we’ve decided to invite this little nugget to live with us after we return from NY in November and we are so gd jazzed. We’ll need your help with name suggestions, if you have any! please and thank you. 

In The Presence Of Maynard James Keenan

Warning. This one is not for the faint of heart. JG talks about the Jameson cannibal incident, an extremely disturbing event that took place in a remote village in the Congo. Then Kat lightens the mood dramatically with her presentation on everyday things that can kill you. The contents of BOX374 should not be fed to fish.

Show Me My Stripes Dr. Space Hole

Are there dinosaur bones on the moon? And show your true stripes! No, really, you’ve got them. A massive asteroid theory and Blaschko’s Lines in BOX373. It’s magically delicious!

Helen Keller Is Not Real

JG goes way beyond flat earth and moon landings and Kat discusses goat balls and what they can do for your health. Conspiracy theories and John Brinkley, Quack MD in BOX371. Plus the world premiere of our new musical “Phineas!” … or “Gage!”, we’re still working on it.

Ghosts, Sharks And A Smelly Car

A young woman vanishes and the story only gets stranger from there. Then, a little boy attacked by a shark and the frenzy that followed. The disappearance of Jamie Fraley and Summer of the Shark in BOX370. Red eyes suit so few.

The count and countess * brassiere

Kat says her husband is a dillweed. 

To The Order Of Freaks #23

Hey Freaks!

We're finally getting back to a more regular schedule! Join us for a candid discussion that involves the theft of houseplants, arguing with a furniture company, and why JG folds his pants the way he does.  

Hat Guy Has a Thing For Toes

JG tells us of the girl born covered in hair who was a king by the age of five. Kat takes us to a centuries-old haunted inn in New England. Christina, King of Sweden of the ghosts of the Red Lion Inn in BOX370 -  it’s the breakfast of champions.

Demonic Scavenger Hunt

JG explores the story of a famous haunted doll and Kat shares the discovery of an aquatic nightmare. The real story of Annabelle and Phiomicetus Anubis in BOX369. Damn, you fine. Hoping she can sock it to me one more time.

Intergalactic Diplomatic Immunity

No one knows how deep this hole is, where it has gone or why it brings animals back from the dead! And the blast furnaces with a tragic history and ghostly presence. Mel’s hole and the haunting of Sloss Furnaces in BOX368. It will be a most triumphant time!

You Had Me At Tractor Parade

Piles of bones aren’t normal in the suburbs, right? And the sport that requires you figure out the best way to lug your lady. Serial killer, Herb Baumeister and the Wife-Carrying Championships in BOX367 - it’s cool beans.

Times up?! I guess…

The Zoom meeting closed before we had a chance to say a proper goodbye and THANK YOU! We so appreciate your joining us and we’ll post the video shortly!

Picnic With Beelzebub

The inspiration for the classic story of a murderous doctor and the legend of a New England village said to be damned.
The real Dr. Hyde and the abandoned Dudleytown in BOX366. Spank Your Inner Moppet. Whatever.

A Ghostly Peeping Tom

The history of a brewery that leads one to believe it may be haunted… or cursed? And a man came to kill her, but things didn’t work out as he’d planned. JG talks about the Lemp mansion and Kat shares the story of badass, Susan Walters in BOX365. A diamond in the rough, rough, rough.

A Face-Full Of Gas Pump Nozzles

He wakes up and it's always the same day. Then Kat tells us about a most bizarre festival that involves Blood, spit, and fresh vegetables. Among other things. A real-life "Groundhogs Day" experience that's been going on for over 15 years and the highly unusual Phuket Vegetarian Festival. BOX364 was processed at location stamped in code at top of carton.

Tamping It In With A Rod

It was a horrific accident that left a man dead. Or so they thought. And then, how did this stuff ever make it on TV? The unbelievable but true story of Phineas Gage and the worst television shows that ever made it on the air. It's BOX363 and it contains a substantial amount of non-tobacco ingredients.

Those Rapscallion Urban Explorers

What's the deal with all those ancient, weird-shaped skulls from Peru? DNA tests provide more questions than answers. And then, some say the image of the dead woman is still burned into its walls. The mysterious Paracas Skulls and the dark and deadly legacy of Lookout Tower in Ohio.

Yeah?

I hope y’all see this as an acceptable solution to my absolute failure.
Now that we have chairs and coffee in our new place, I’m hoping I can get back into some sort of normal routine!
Thank you all so much for your patience - the past few weeks (months?) have been bananas and we appreciate you so much. 

Eyelids Don't Like Glue

Can a vehicle be possessed? And yeah, we vote “no” to eyelid sewing. The haunted car that inspired a Stephen King story and the history of eyelashes in BOX361. It’s like butter for your ears.

Big news

Last night was our first night in our new apartment! Also I bought Haggis a tiny chair. 🖤

Late 17th Century Insurance Con Man

JG explores the mysterious circumstances surrounding the so-called “Lake Michigan Triangle” and Kat celebrates the Nova Scotian Giant in BOX360. Why do we have SO MANY tote bags?

He’s so talented

Not many can play dashboard piano like he can ♥️

These Are For You. I Don't Like Them.

Can certain colors in our world be “new”? And how our family history can inform our future. The color blue and the grandson of a nazi reaches out in BOX359. It’s off like a herd of turtles.
