Red-Eyed Santa | EP:337

from Tommy Cullum's Let's Get Freaky · host Tommy Cullum

Season’s greetings! In this chillingly festive holiday special, we dive into the shadows behind one of the world’s most beloved icons—Santa Claus—and uncover something far more enigmatic and profound.For this unique Christmas episode, we’re revisiting two extraordinary interviews from the archives, featuring guests who, entirely independently, encountered a mysterious figure they both identified as “Father Christmas.” This is not the cheerful, gift-giving saint of holiday lore, but an ancient, otherworldly entity that appeared during profound, life-altering paranormal experiences—described with haunting similarity across decades and circumstances.Was this a cunning extraterrestrial disguise, leveraging the familiar image of Santa to mask its true intent? Or are we glimpsing the hidden, primordial essence of the Christmas legend itself?First, we revisit Episode 31: A Lifetime of Alien Abduction with the remarkable Linda Thompson. A lifelong experiencer and dedicated UFO researcher, Linda courageously shares decades of encounters, including a childhood visitation by a towering figure with glowing red eyes—clad in the unmistakable garb of Father Christmas.Then, prepare to be astonished as we present Episode 227: I Saw Santa with investigator Rusty Jones. Rusty recounts his own breathtaking sighting of this same cryptic being, alongside other cryptid and paranormal phenomena, revealing striking parallels that defy coincidence.Two witnesses. Two separate stories. One inexplicable presence bridging the worlds of UFO abduction, high strangeness, and ancient holiday mythology.Dim the lights, pour a steaming mug of cocoa, stoke the fire, and join us as we explore the eerie intersection of Christmas wonder and the unknown. This is one holiday episode that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the man in red. Merry Christmas and seasons greetings to the entire freaky family—let the festivities begin!We are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit The New Marketing Show Trinity Web Media The New Marketing Show by Trinity Web Media discusses how we as marketers are problem solvers.
