What do ancient Egyptians, Romanian grandmas, and angry Pac-Man ghosts have in common? They all want a bite to eat—from beyond the grave. This episode of The Box of Oddities serves up a global smorgasbord of traditions where feeding the dead isn’t just a metaphor—it’s a full-course afterlife buffet. From wine funnels into Roman tombs to a perfectly seasoned rotisserie chicken in New Orleans, we explore the bizarre and touching ways humanity has kept its ghostly loved ones well-fed.
Then things get... heated. We dive deep into the strange world of arousal non-concordance—when your body throws a party your brain didn’t RSVP to. You’ll meet people who climax during ab workouts, from brushing their teeth, or from reading a particularly spicy footnote. It’s not consent. It’s just neurology being weird again.
Two tales. One episode. Ancient snacks, ghost etiquette, and involuntary fireworks. You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe never look at funeral biscuits or fitness routines the same way again.

The Box of Oddities: Curiously bizarre. Weirdly informative. Always hungry.
