Just my thing

I met the Cousins Weird at the Metaphysical Fair at Wellness Cottage Crystals. I’m glad I got to, they are fun in person as they are on podcast. Their topics are just my thing. I love hearing the stories.

Great pod! Anchor con didn’t disappoint!

I met these cousins while I was at an anchor con booth with my cousin. I totally forgot to mention that I was there with my cousin too when I met them bcuz I was so side tracked by talking to them about weird things! I started with the cabbage patch kids episode btw I still have the one named after my cousin I was there with. They gave me a hopeful fortune & weird knowledge about gladiators. (Ps: kind funny I made my nickname Annie because I loved that soundtrack so much) (pps: my parents actually drove to Canada to get me a cabbage patch doll for Christmas they got the last one at the store, I still remember that her name was Lauren)

This pod delivers!!!

I just found this pod and can’t wait for a huge binge. Love the way they tell their stories and the relationship between the two cousins. They’re going places and I’m glad I’m along for the ride ♥️♥️🫶🏽
