Roommates ‘horrified’ after House Dem ‘serrated’ chicken’s head off, podcast says

FIRST ON FOX: College roommates of Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., now 37, said they were “horrified” after the now-Democratic congressman, up for re-election this year, allegedly “serrated” a chicken’s head with “a dull kitchen knife” while they lived together.

The incident allegedly occurred because the vulnerable Democratic congresswoman and her roommates were engaging in “urban farming,” a practice very popular in Portland, where they attended a small private school called Reed College.

Gluesenkamp Perez’s former roommate, and others connected to her from their time at Reed College, recounted the incident where they were all trying to research ways to humanely kill the chicken, but Glusenkamp Perez allegedly thought everyone was “screwing bugs,” so she “grabbed” the chicken and started “grinding.” [the chicken] down with a dull knife,” causing the animal to begin “panting for air, with no lungs to suck it in.”

“Then she held the body up as it splattered and blood flowed everywhere like some crazy Santeria voodoo ritual,” recalled her former roommate, Isaac Eger, while dating Reed, who also wrote about his house’s “epic failure” at urban agriculture in 2014.

Eger, who hosts the podcast that brought together people from Gluesenkamp Perez’s past for an episode a few weeks ago, declined to speak with Fox News Digital or provide comment or clarify events in his life with the Washington state congresswoman. He implied to Fox News Digital that his podcast was a joke and said that if he were to clarify any part of it, it would take away the comedic value.

“Marie bravely said, ‘I’m going to send this chicken,'” Eger recounted in the podcast episode that subscribers have to pay to listen to called “Absolutely Sweet Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.”

“Man, I’ll never forget, like, frantically on YouTube, how to humanely kill a chicken and Marie was like, ‘You fucking pussies, are you on YouTube?’ It was like you and me on a computer, trying to figure this out and she just grabbed it and started spinning it,” Sam added.

“That’s not at all what happened,” Eger interjected. “She didn’t just ‘cut it.’ She took a dull kitchen knife and tried to serrate it.[ly] cut… she was grinding that thing with a dull knife and I remember you being horrified. It was really bad. And we saw the chicken’s decapitated head, gasping for air, with no lungs to suck it in, and then she lifted the body as it exploded and blood flowed everywhere like some crazy Santeria voodoo ritual.

While Sam took issue with the serration, he claimed the knife was quite dull and said “of course” after Eger began describing the scene of the chicken’s blood spurting everywhere.

“Sure, sure. Everyone knows you can run around like a chicken with your head cut off, but what that saying leaves out is what happens to the head without the body and it still fully functions for a second,” Sam continued as Eger laughed.

Eger went on to highlight what he thought the incident symbolized, particularly in regards to his former college roommate’s time as an elected member of the U.S. Congress.

He said that while part of him “respected” Gluesenkamp Perez “for her courage” and proactiveness in killing the chicken, he also chastised the inhumane nature with which she killed the chicken and said it represented the large amount of “hubris” the current congresswoman had even as a student at a small private liberal arts school.

“I think Marie is very proud and she’s an incredibly stubborn person who I think has incredible confidence in herself,” Eger said during the podcast episode, which focused entirely on the congresswoman and his history with her in college.

“I think [that] That’s what it takes to be a fucking congressman,” Eger said.

“I think we’re finding a common thread here, yeah,” Sam added. “I think also, like, saying, ‘Fuck the consequences. I’m just going to go, like, be head–be stubborn.’ And just, like, ‘I’ll take care of this.’ Like, and this might be a really bad idea, but here I am. It’s already done. This is already happening. »

During the Jan. 29 episode of the podcast, Eger, Boguslaw, who also declined to speak to Fox News Digital, and Sam also spoke about their lives with Gluesenkamp Perez and her rabbit she brought with her at the time, named “Meatball.” According to Reed College alumni teams, Gluesenkamp Perez raised Meatball and then ate his children.

“A friend of mine said that when he came home one time, she started a rabbit-eating cult,” Eger said on the podcast. He and Boguslaw recalled how “absent-minded” Gluesenkamp Perez was when it came to their “urban farming business,” describing how they would often have to take care of his animals so they wouldn’t perish.

“Did you go with her to raise her rabbit and we watched them smash the rabbit against the wall?” Eger asked Sam during the podcast episode.

“Meatball? Hell yeah,” Sam replied.

Eger also took shots at the congresswoman he shared the room with, describing her as a baggage handler and accusing her of “cosplaying like a poor person” while studying and still today, even though he believed she was probably being paid for by her parents for her college education, arguing that she could not qualify for financial aid.

“Her parents are rich. Because if you can afford it — and she’s one of four kids — if you can afford to pay $40,000 a year for college, so that doesn’t include like the others, like at least $10,000 a year in living expenses, you’re rich,” Eger argued on her podcast. “That means she wouldn’t have been eligible for financial aid. Now, what she says in the order – it’s part of her tradition, she definitely disguises herself as a poor person.”

“Which never happened to Reed. As far as I’m concerned,” Boguslaw responded sarcastically with a laugh.

Eger also accused Gluesenkamp Perez of lying about being a fifth-generation Washingtonian during her 2-hour podcast episode, alleging that she was actually from Houston.

“She grew up in Houston, Texas. Her father was Mexican, born in Mexico, where her mother, who was from Washington, met him,” Eger said. “She brought him across the border, and then Marie became a sort of anchor baby.”
