In this Box of Oddities bonus episode, “Freak Family Favorites,” Kat and Jethro dive into a wildly entertaining mix of listener mail, strange history, and bizarre real-world oddities that prove the world is far stranger than fiction. From mysterious rogue waves that can tower over ships to the bizarre story of the Great LEGO Spill of 1997, this episode explores the unpredictable forces of nature and the unexpected ways their effects ripple across the planet. You'll hear how a massive rogue wave struck the cargo ship Tokyo Express, sending millions of LEGO pieces into the ocean, where they've been washing up on beaches around the world for decades—turning into an accidental global science experiment tracking ocean currents and plastic pollution. But that's just the beginning. Kat and Jethro also explore the strange corners of history, including a jaw-dropping act of subtle protest during the World War II tribunal of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, when a Navy dental technician secretly engraved the phrase “Remember Pearl Harbor” in Morse code inside the dictator's dentures. Along the way, the Freak Family joins the conversation with unforgettable listener stories—like the uncanny moment when a podcast fact about the largest living organism on Earth (a massive mushroom) suddenly appeared on the side of a passing truck, or the tale of a rescued goat that accidentally ended up named after Kat. And because no Box of Oddities episode would be complete without a dive into humanity's wonderfully strange customs, Kat shares some of the most unusual wedding traditions from around the world—from couples being covered in spoiled food in Scotland to ceremonial arrow-shooting in China and even brides marrying trees to break ancient astrological curses. This bonus episode is packed with weird history, strange science, global traditions, and the delightfully bizarre stories that make the Freak Family one of the most unique podcast communities on Earth. If you love mysteries, curiosities, paranormal-adjacent history, and the wonderfully weird, this episode is your backstage pass to the strange world inside The Box of Oddities.

The telegram was one of the first ways people could send messages quickly over long distances. Before the telegraph, messages could take weeks to travel by horse or ship. With the invention of the telegraph in the 1800s, short messages could be sent using electrical signals through wires. These signals were turned into dots and dashes called Morse code. Telegrams were used for important news, emergencies, and celebrations. The invention of the telegram helped connect the world and led to faster communication systems we use today.
I'm always tickled by composer trivia questions, like which standard canon works begin in a major key and end in a minor key? I'll give you one, but please comment others below: Mendelssohn's 4th Symphony. Well, how about this one: how many of Beethoven's 16 string quartets end in a minor key? The answer? Just one, Op. 59, No. 2, the subject of today's show. And that minor key is hugely important to this darkest of the three Op. 59 quartets, three towering achievements that changed the string quartet repertoire for good. Beethoven, as I've said many times on the show, was a revolutionary within limits, always expanding, rethinking, and reshaping what was possible without breaking anything beyond repair. But make no mistake: the Op. 59 quartets were revolutionary works. No one had written anything like them before in terms of scope, emotional intensity, difficulty, and complexity. In fact, like a few of Beethoven's greatest works, they were received with confusion and, in some cases, anger by musicians, audiences, and critics. Famously, the cellist of the first string quartet to receive the parts of Op. 59, No. 1 saw the Morse code-like, one-note theme of the second movement, threw the music aside, and stomped on it! These quartets were Beethoven going out on a limb, applying the intensity and drama of his Middle Heroic Period to a genre that had been at least partly the province of amateur musicians, but not anymore. Op. 59, No. 2, as I said, is the darkest of this group: four movements all centered around the key of E, and with the exception of the glorious second movement, all in minor, presenting a seriousness and directness of purpose that is powerfully compelling. This might be my favorite of the Op. 59 quartets, and so I'm very excited to dig into it with you today. We'll discuss the enigmatic and ecstatic aspects of this quartet, as well as Beethoven's own philosophical views on life, which come to light in the second movement, one of Beethoven's greatest creations.
