From mysterious grocery store receipts and disappearing coffee mugs to retro TV references, creepy elevator buttons, and an opossum in a tutu… this week’s Inbox of Oddities is gloriously unhinged. JG and Kat share listener stories about strange “Boo Effects,” deep-fried toga nights, ghostly office buildings, haunted coffee routines, geese laws in Illinois, and why there should absolutely be separate knives for peanut butter and jelly. Plus: vintage soup cans worth “$250,000,” Camino del Santiago pilgrimages, cremation tattoos, and the ongoing debate over whether crumbs belong in butter.
