Comedian, podcast host, and generally curious guy ALEX SCHMIDT joins the show to talk about some surprisingly creepy things!
Given such a straightforward prompt, Jake launches in with the “surprisingly” spooky story of Bloody Mary. You know, that thing you didn’t realize was scary? But what if we told you… IT’S ALL TRUE? KIND OF?? Wyatt follows up with an even more chilling topic: Tupperware.
Is there a supernatural conspiracy among newspaper comic strips? How do you know if you have too much sperm? And what is the best name for a large food storage container? Find out the answers to some of these questions and probably others, all on this week’s episode of Superduperstitious!
