Loving the Strange

Hey! Welcome to episode 14 of LOVING THE STRANGE where we talk about the strange, weird things people love and why.

And this week’s episode is all about aliens, creatures/beings from another planet and the people who believe in them . . . or not.

Sadly, we talk about probes, enemas, and whether we should just go full on pothead for the podcast and so much more. I hope you’ll check it out! And like and subscribe or sign up for the blog posts so you never miss our weirdness.

Thank you all so much for listening! This wouldn’t be fun if you weren’t here.

The extra shout-outs go to our high level patrons who also read Carrie’s books in progress and get some art in the mail sometimes.

Hey! Welcome to episode 13 of LOVING THE STRANGE where we talk about the strange, weird things people eat and why.

In very happy news, we just stopped KETO because Carrie the Carbosaurus got a rash. Yay rash! Yay carbs!

In honor of Carrie’s rash, we’re talking about the strange things people eat!

Hey! Welcome to episode 12 of LOVING THE STRANGE where we talk about the strange, weird things people do in love and why.

In very sad news, we are in day ten of KETO and Carrie the Carbosaurus is getting cranky.

So let’s start with one of my favorites.

It comes from a Reddit thread.

Welcome to Loving the Strange, an occasionally drunk dive into the weird things and people that we love.

And this is episode eleven: Da Bomb and Viewer Questions? And there should probably be a content warning because Shaun blurted out an f-bomb.

It was our hot sauce episode where Carrie tries Da Bomb and somehow survives, our kid shouts in the background while talking to her best friend Bella, and we find post-podcast a smear of blood on the wall. Turns out it was Shaun’s arm not a demon goat god demanding a sacrifice.

Also, Shaun has VERY STRONG feelings about Rose and Jack on the door in Titanic and we are both Taurus moon signs.

As Nancy said during our podcast last night, “You guys just keep getting weirder and weirder.” That’s an almost direct quote.

Welcome to Loving the Strange, an occasionally drunk dive into the weird things and people that we love.

And this is episode ten: Urban Legends Negative Entities or Devil Monkeys, Bloody Mary and Urban Legends that Make You Go, Huh? And there should probably be a content warning because some urban legends are scary things.

But first we wanted to give a shout-out to our patrons who help support the podcast via supporting Carrie over there. And that’s Autumn, Claire, Jenn, Pam, Joan, Nancy, Toni, Shay, Rachael and Sam. You all rock.

Carrie: I feel like we should start with the Devil Monkeys of Danville, New Hampshire. Shout out to my birth state of weirdness.

In this podcast we talk about a whole slew of urban legends and also why we pass along these stories.

if you liked what you heard today, please share us with your friends. That’s the absolute best way to help us keep on growing.

Thank you so much for listening. Till next time.

Yep. We went there.

This week’s LIVE episode of LOVING THE STRANGE, we talked about pooping naked, having to take your shoes off when you pee, checking doors incessantly, and needing only even numbers in your life.

We hope you’ll check it out.

This week on LOVING THE STRANGE, we stayed away from the paranormal and delved into (a tiny bit) why people love hot sauce and hot chicken wings.

Carrie hiccuped her way through the vegan version of wings, which were sort of peach-puree nuggets while Shaun went full-on carnivore, gnawing on the bones.

We talked a bit about the Heatonist, Gotcha! (Carrie’s favorite 80s movie), which came first the chicken or the egg, and how a lot of people who like hot sauce are thrill seekers, but some are just used to it. They grew up with it. They like its flavor or they’re super competitive. There’s more on that in our resources!

What is a Scoville Unit?

Honestly, the episode was chaos and Carrie just hiccuped all the way through it.
