About this episode

Kat and Jethro explore the strange phenomenon of seeing 11:11, haunted locations, and bizarre listener experiences.

In this wildly weird installment of The Inbox of Oddities, Kat and Jethro spiral from marital bathroom boundaries into the strange psychological phenomenon of seeing 11:11 everywhere… and whether the universe is just trolling all of us. One listener swears the numbers followed her so relentlessly that even her 9-year-old daughter started noticing them too. Coincidence? Confirmation bias? A cosmic notification system with terrible timing? Also inside the Inbox of Oddities: a listener spends the night alone in the famously haunted Lemp Mansion, another recovers from a near-fatal case of “superflu” after asking the universe for self-improvement, and someone accidentally discovers that Box of Oddities listeners may be alarmingly enthusiastic about gallbladder tacos. Plus: necropants bathroom logistics, ceramic rooster collectors, cryptid museums, haunted mushroom hallucinations, truck drivers, barefoot shoe conspiracies, and the deeply unsettling reality that “My Ding-a-Ling” was Chuck Berry’s only number one hit. It’s ghosts, weird psychology, bizarre synchronicities, comedy, cryptids, body horror, and humanity at its absolute strangest. Warning: May cause compulsive clock-checking…
