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.

Also in this episode:

• A listener discovers a mysterious “$0.00” item on a receipt from a lonely Pennsylvania grocery store

• A warm cup of coffee vanishes… then reappears hours later

• Kat and JG discuss electric chair photo booth ideas for oddities festivals

• Retro shout-outs to CBS Radio Mystery Theater, RuPaul's Drag Race, and The Banana Splits Adventure Hour theme song

• Dog photos, Boo Effects, and the Freak Family at its absolute finest

It’s weird. It’s warm. It’s wonderfully ridiculous.
