You ever think about that phrase? "Comin' up the rear." Huh.

After a long and well-deserved bout of almost-seasickness, the boys are back together and taking a trip down to the ketchup mines for that classic bout of weird business you know and love. More deep dives are on the way, but this week exploding VR headsets, 40 rotisseries chickens, excrement-covered British gimps, and racist horses will have to tide you over!

Fun Fact: Napoleon Bonaparte was reportedly a huge fan of rotisserie chickens, ensuring his servants would be able to prepare and them to him 24/7. He's still got nothing on our Philadelphian hero!

Welcome to Ketchup Packets, a new Monday Morning Ketchup series where Mike and PJ take a deep dive into a singular bizarre topic. To kick things off we're covering the ancient and insane practice of animal trials -- the history, the philosophy, and best of all, all the absurd cases of animals being subject to the cold gavel of justice!

To begin this week's Ketchup, a ball-dropping of epic proportions. Only we could go several weeks ignoring the biggest two bizarre news stories in the world: the left and the right one.

With that podcasting crime rectified, we then move on to furry litter boxes, hot (and strong) youth pastors, Spanish bishops-turned-pig-masturbators, a HORRIFYING layering of contact lenses, emotional support alligators, and so much more!

Fun Fact: "Interior Crocodile Alligator" has an actual place of origin, and it's this song. It's a FREESTYLE. The line came from A GOD DANG FREESTYLE! My life has CHANGED FOREVER.

The Ketchup Gods are not always so gracious in their bounty. Weeks go by filled not with the thick, viscous and rich ketchup we take for granted, but the watered-down, swished around dregs that we must cling to in times of utter desperation.

Sometimes, you gotta find the fun. And Mike and PJ sure found a lot of fun in this week's on-their-face-kinda-not-so-bizarre roundup of stories. Ready to sling some wein?

Fun Fact: The federal government lowered the limit of fluoride levels in public water utilities in 2015, from a range of 0.7 to 0.12 milligrams per liter to a maximum of 0.7 milligrams. Admission of guilt? Or a subtle proof point that maybe fluoride isn't making everyone dumber? I don't know, but these chompers be sparklin'!

What happens when you stuff two week's worth of ketchup into one show? 

Bad things. Horrifying, emergent, potentially multidimensionally evil things...

But also good things! Giant African land snail escargot... Robotrippin chicken... Clown wigs at Dairy Queen... and even COO cannibalism!

All this, and somehow so much more, on this week's Monday Morning Ketchup! Get into it!

Disclaimer: Not EVERY Latin family contains a Maria (at least one of us believes).

Fun Fact: Pica is the term for a broad array of mental disorders associated with eating non-food objects. There are many "flavors" of pica disorder, such as Trichophagia (hair, wool, and other fibers), Cautopyreiophagia (burnt matches), Acuphagia (sharp objects), and Geomelophagia (raw potatoes) -- this last one just a general symptom of being Irish.

This week's ketchup is a return to its long, thicc, juicy red roots! Dive in and learn what happened in the last of week of our ever-bizarre world!

Fun Fact: Donkey skins are used in the Chinese folk medicine as "eijao" -- the extracted gelatin from the donkey's hide. It's sold and used as a remedy for bleeding (?), insomnia, dry cough, and dizziness. It's so popular, China needs to import the skins (and genitals) from Africa!

The boys are back in town. They're in your yard, here for your milkshake. They're crying wolf, being sent to do a man's job, and just wrapped Season 3.

Wait, no, not any of those boys! I'm talking about the Ketchup Boys Mi-kul and Pol-jon!

Yes indeedy, the Ketchup flows freely again this week with stories of our anusless ancestors, suspiciously focused "historical" wine, baby fetish zoning codes, a whole plate of dog penis, FOOT, and baseless accusations about armless stabbings. 

All that in more in this, the latest Monday Morning Ketchup! 

Fun Fact: The term PJ was trying to think of is "The Cambrian Explosion," which was a period of rapid biological diversity that occurred just over half a billion years ago -- and is also a sick band name.

There's no time for jokes -- this week's Ketchup contains a CRITICAL message about monkey pox and what YOU can do to stop the spread of monkey-violence.

It also contains only slightly less important messages about vabbing, hyena testicles, mysterious Mexican space orbs, barbeque cum drinking parties, the rumored STD capital of the United States right here in the Sunshine State, and last but certainly not least, a heroic Florida woman who has had enough of the pigs and their supposed "protecting and serving".

Fun Fact: Mad honey is sold on the black market for as much as $80 a pound, making it one of the most expensive honeys in the world. In some parts of the world, it's sold as a miracle cure for hypertension, fatigue, and even as an alternative to Viagra.

Nobody would've guessed it, but Mike and PJ are back on that old ketchup-stained nag for another down-home roundup of the craziest stories of the past week!

The Ketchup Gods adorned us all this week with tales of dead robot spiders, embarrassing Italian wiener incidents, the ongoing, completely insane saga of Ezra Miller, a suspiciously familiar COVID "cure," intergalactic wars between aliens and Chinese myth dragons, and somehow so much more !  

Fun Fact: SpotemGottem's hit "BeatBox" is not exactly Mike or PJ's jam, but it does have 35 million YouTube views, which must mean something... Can't wait for his next single, "SeadooSwerve"!
