Loving the StrangeThe strange, strange things people do for love LOVING THE STRANGEHey! 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. Ready? “In 4th grade, I wrote the names of my two girl crushes on my dick...rode my bike to the rail tracks, stared at my dick, whispered their names and said I love you.” 2021-05-011h 31

Loving the StrangeBaby, What’s Your Moon Sign and Other Important Questions As We Die Of Hot Sauce LOVING THE STRANGEWelcome 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....2021-04-241h 26

Loving the StrangeWhy Do People Love Hot Chicken Wings and Will Carrie Survive the Hiccups LOVING THE STRANGEThis 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 w...2021-04-031h 35

Loving the StrangeLet's talk about ghosts LOVING THE STRANGEIt's our second podcast and you can hear how: Shaun has a haunted doll friend. A ghost felt Carrie's thigh. The seance where the pencil caught on fire. Carrie's grandmother's ghost. And Shaun swear and be slightly naughty because he's Shaun.
