What is the Ice Cream Man ad and opening promo for this episode?
Today's episode is presented by Ice Cream Man. In theaters August 7th from the horror section. Writer and director Eli Roth wants you to cool off this summer in Baleen Bay, an idyllic small town that melts into sheer terror when an ice cream man serves up soft serve sweets with harrowing hardcore horror. Ari Miller stars as the titular terror, topped with music by Snoop Dogg and effects by Oscar winner Adrienne Moreau and Steve Newbern. Say it with me, folks. I scream, you scream. We all scream for Ice Cream Man. In theaters August 7th. Get tickets now. Before we return to tonight's proceedings, permit me a brief recommendation. You see, I spend a great deal of time surrounded by unusual stories of unusual objects.
A very small handful linger long after they've ended. Recently, I had the pleasure of encountering one such tale. It's called Don't Tell Alice. From the co-creator of Welcome to Night Vale and serving as a sequel to Alice Isn't Dead, it follows Keisha as she once again finds herself traveling the strange highways and forgotten backroads of America. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something far larger, involving parallel worlds, family tragedy, and consequences that may extend well beyond a single reality. It is thoughtful, unsettling, and wonderfully strange in all the right ways. The sort of story that feels as though it was waiting for you just beyond the next exit. It stars Jessica Nicole and features a beautiful score and sound design by Disparition.
You'll find Don't Tell Alice on the Alice Isn't Dead feed, wherever you listen to podcasts, with ad-free episodes available a week early on Patreon. And if you do decide to visit those lonely roads for yourself, well, do be careful what you discover... And whatever you do, don't tell Alice.

J equals R. Hello, dear friend.
Great to see you as always. Dating has always struck me as a peculiar ritual. Two strangers meet, exchange a few details, share a drink... Then, more often than not, one follows the other home. An extraordinary amount of trust when you think about it. Today's acquisitions concern two encounters between strangers. We'll begin with a pair of women's shoes. The accompanying account is what I like to call, Just One Look. Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk. These are some of the members of the inner circle of the Antiquarium. We go by the Obsidian Covenant.
How does the host introduce the Antiquarium and the concept of consigned relics?

It was a Friday night, and my date stood me up. leaving me alone in my favorite heels with a watery gin and tonic and a bruised ego. I was going to cut my losses and head home when I spotted a man with dark eyes and a wry smile, sitting alone with a whiskey and a book. Just one look and I knew he was the kind of man who could turn my evening around. A couple drinks and some surface-level American lit talk later, he had me pressed against the door to his apartment, one hand clumsily fumbling with his keys as the other slid up the back of my shirt. He pulled back for a moment as the lock clicked open, eyes warm and lidded with desire.
Wait. Okay, before we go in, I just want to give you a quick heads up. I've got a roommate.
He gave me an apologetic half-smile. Sure, no problem. I can be quiet. He gave my hand a squeeze as he opened the door. I could barely make out the silhouette of someone sitting on the couch inside, haloed by the dim light of the TV. My date, whose name I wasn't sure I'd actually asked for, sidled up to me. His lips brushed my ear, breath ghosting across the nape of my neck with a delicious shiver. The thing is, he's gonna try to get your attention while you're here.
