Strange Realm - Ep. 140 - Nov. 30th, 2025

This week, we bring you an overstuffed 5th helping of the weirdest and wildest news that happened this week! Including confirmation that there is in fact rust on the Moon, news that the Slender Man stabber is all grown up and she escaped custody to visit her boyfriend, a Campbell's soup VP was recorded going on a tirade about bioengineered 3d-printed meat in the soup, and we discuss the truth about dieting and how the body's metabolic set point works against attempts at losing weight. All of this and then, after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Beware of the Woods," by Tony Urban.
