Tell. \u00a0I\u2019m not quite sure, but I think he may have sold me white gloves and a ketchup popsicle to go with them LOL. \u00a0He traveled with a freakshow at 16 where he learned not only to \u201ctalk\u201d and \u201cturn\u201d, how to eat fire, and swallow swords, but also had some grizzled old men teach him how to dress nice, tie a time, and talk to girls. \u00a0It sounds like this kid from nowhere found a community. \u00a0He went on to create a unique show blending freak show with science, and using it as a vehicle to show folks a piece of his soul, to share who and why he is. \u00a0I hope you enjoy this chat with Thom.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/spotifyanchor-web.app.link\/e\/ITRmog3qbub\">Podcast episode on Anchor here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">&lt;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/whyamipod\/embed\/episodes\/Why-Am-I-Thom-Britton---FreakShowTell-e1pbt4g\" width=\"400px\" height=\"102px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">Youtube version here:<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uq4DF_zMH2c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3chg9-0-0\">Please show them some love on their socials here: <a href=\"https:\/\/freakshowtell.com\/\">https:\/\/freakshowtell.com\/<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B087CSWRJ6\/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_65S57ZDTKYY65AMHD4MC_0\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B087CSWRJ6\/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_65S57ZDTKYY65AMHD4MC_0<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"3di9q-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"12otu-0-0\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">If you want to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">support the podcast<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> you can do so via <\/span><a style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod<\/a><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> (this gives you access to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">bonus content including their Fantasy Restaurant!<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">)<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everybody, I&rsquo;m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today. &nbsp;My guest this go around is Thom Britton from Freakshow &amp;
