    Hey Sports Fans! Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange & unusual, ancient & archival, regal & rickety and everything in between! TW: big bugs, mental illness, euthanasia, cancer, curses Every week we get together to chat about something WEIRD and this week is very special because we're celebrating the birthday of one of the world's finest weirdos - - your host LAUREN! We had a wild start to the episode where we were both ATTACKED by bugs (the bugs were in our room) but once we recovered from the drama we were able to dive into this week's topics. Ashley starts us off with an ANCIENT ARTIFACTS (with Addie Rife!) where she teaches us all about the Iron Pillar of Dehli-- an ancient monument that is somewhere between 1600 and 2300 years old, made of solid iron, that still has not rusted TO THIS DAY! And speaking of ancient artifacts and metal! Last month, scientists at CERN accidentally discovered the secret to the Philosopher's Stone. YOU HEARD ME! Lauren takes over for a JEEPERS CREEPERS where we dive into a very rare (and very scary) mental health disorder known as CLINICAL LYCANTHROPY aka real life werewolves. And were...frogs??? To wrap the show the girls pass some MIND BLOWING FACTS back and forth like the time that Mark Ruffalo had a psychic vision, how monkey's find medicinal marvels, the true inspiration for Bluey and more.

    We come in peace, weirdos!! But do THEY?!?!! TW: aliens, psychosis & delusions, death by statue Welcome to Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, extra & extraterrestrial, wiry & wooley and everything in between. Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD!! This week is a wild one so hold onto your butts (cheeks and cigs) Ashley starts us off with BREAKING NEWS out of Buga Colombia where a strange metallic orb was not only filmed zipping through the sky but also crash landed and was collected by witnesses in the area and turned into our buddy JAIME MAUSSAN and if this is not a hoax it's a BFDY (Big Freaking Deal, Yo) According to the scientists studying the sphere- it is cold to the touch, it's WEIGHT FLUCTUATES & it's covered in inscriptions and you won't believe what AI has to say about the meaning behind them. And speaking of AI we have a quick TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY to counteract how pumped we were to be friends with ChatGPT last time around. Ashley tells us about a new phenomenon people are calling "ChatGPT Induced Psychosis" wherein users of AI Chat Bots are losing their grip on reality, falling into spiritual rabbit holes, and destroying all the human relationships they have left. Lauren takes us into a segment we call WHERE IN THE WORLD where we travel to just outside of Hong Kong to a city that used to exist called KOWLOON where over 33,000 residents lived in only 350 buildings covering only .01 miles of space........... HOW?! Then we finish off with a very special DECLASSIFIED where Ashley takes us through the CIA DOC_0005517761 - Declassified back in 2000, this report describes a 250 page KGB file that contains photos, drawings and witness testimonies about a run in that soviet soldiers had with a UFO back in 1990 wherein 23 men were TURNED TO STONE.

    H-h-h-hi W-w-w-weirdos. Is it cold in here? Or am I just CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN?! TW: death, desecration of a corpse, near death experiences, suicidal ideation & mental health struggles, mention of Hitler, murder trial chat, real gross body stuff Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, frigid and freaky, pleasant and possessed and everything in between! Everytime we get together we talk about something WEIRD and this week is bursting at the seams with strangeness. First we tackle some "old business" and check in with each other on the KAREN READ RETRIAL-- boy is that getting juicier and juicer by the day-- and Lauren shares a recent strange experience she had with a stick of eyeliner. Lauren kicks off the main event with A THOUGHT she had about time. Are there different times of the year, months-weeks-days, that harbor darkness? Why does it pour when it rains? Why is April the most cursed month in recent human history? Why do wars begin in August? Our ancestors had rituals to get us through these tougher months-- are we self perpetuating the fear and therefore the trauma? Could we benefit from ancient rituals to aid us in living through the tougher times? Then Ashley bursts through the door along with MISS FRIZZLE for some human body mysteries! Starting off with a phenomenon known as the "Returning Soldier Effect" and we question why more male children are born directly after war. Several theories have been presented, but it's still quite the mystery. Then we move on to FROZEN PEOPLE starting with the story of Jean Hillard who spent 6 hours freezing in the snow back in 1980 and SURVIVED!! Then we wrap up the episode discussing CRYONICS and the dangers of cryogenically freezing your body in the hopes of being reanimated when the technology catches up to the theoretical science in the future. Don't miss out on the end of episode TAROT CARD reading for more insights in today's show. Check out some LINKS below if you want to do further reading on any of the topics we discussed today.

    2025/04/25
    Do the Dew, weirdos! Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, mysterious and maddening, freaky and "freakay" and everything in between. Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week is DOLPHIN FREE!! The gals start off with some current events as they discuss HBO's "Hollywood Demons" series and share their opinions on the Blue Origin all female space flight that took place earlier this month. Spoiler: We're not impressed. Then Ashley takes us into some CONSPIRACY THEORIES involving our favorite alphabet overlords-- the NSA and the CIA. First on the chopping block is the NSA and their involvement with 33 Thomas St NYC New York-- supposedly just a simple AT&T building until Edward Snowden leaked highly classified information back in 2014. After some pretty simple math it was discovered that that enormous spooky building was actually the largest NSA surveillance building on United States soil. Codename: TITANPOINTE. If you think AT&T being in cahoots with the NSA is bad... wait until you hear about Pepsi's connection to the CIA. Because next we discuss the conspiracy theory that MOUNTAIN DEW releases its new wacky flavors right before major disasters. Why, you ask? Well... that's... not an easy question to answer. But we sure try. Finally Lauren takes us into a REALITY TV CORNER and teaches us about an epic fail of a reality tv show called "Eden." It's also called "Eden: Paradise Lost" for a very dumb reason. Actually almost everything about this show was dumb, especially the part where they took it off the air and FORGOT TO TELL THE CAST AND CREW.

    TW: foul language and real tears

    Are you eating a well balanced regular human diet, weirdos?

    Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, hair-raising and blood-curdling, riveting and READY To RUMMBLEEE and everything in between. Each episode we get together to chat about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception. Today Lauren is asking is it REAL OR HOAX as we look into the medieval legend of the Green Children of Woolpit. Legend has it that two strangely dressed children speaking an unknown language wandered into the village of Woolpit wayyyy back in the 12th century and not only were they out of place but they were also GREEN! That's right. Green. WTF? Then Ashley takes us into a new segment called SUPER SYNCHRONICITIES where we will be chronicling the strange entanglements and meaningful coincidences in our lives and surrounding our show. This first foray is all about THE TELEPATHY TAPES - a podcast produced and hosted by Ky Dickens exploring the idea of consciousness, the possibility of psi-powers and the unbelievable experiences of non-verbal autistic children and their families and teachers. Check out some links below if you want to do more reading (or listening! Looking at you, Ky!) on the topics we discussed in today's episode.

    Don't Panic, Weirdos! TW: photos of mummified remains, death, possible murder & torture, stillbirth, depression, animal abuse Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD the podcast for all things strange & unusual, beautiful & batty, creepy & cringe and everything in between! Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week we've got quite the adventure for you. Lauren is going to start us off with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY straight out of the BOG. From as far back as the 17th century we have been discovering strangely preserved BODIES in the bogs of Europe, some of which date all the way back to 8000 BC, and no one knows why they are there. The unique physical and biochemical composition of the peat bogs have kept some of these bodies preserved to the point that they still have hair, internal organs and even FOOD (and drugs) in their stomachs. Was this a popular dumping ground for murderers? Was it a holy place used for ritual sacrifice? Did these folks just wander into the bog? We may never know... Then Ashley is taking us DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE for a quest that takes us from Marine Mammal Law all the way to NHI (Non-Human Intelligence) theories as we read some stories about cetaceans, specifically DOLPHINS, and their potential to have special abilities far beyond our understanding. Can they communicate telepathically? Help heal the sick? Act as your doula? Control UFOs? It may sound crazy, but that's because we live in a crazy world. ALSO this episode features our very first WITCHY WEATHER FORECAST hosted by Laura Lareau!! Laura will pop in to every other episode to give us a look at that month's celestial energies, moon phases, and all around witchy festivities to teach us how to celebrate our woo-woo side and get in touch with our inner witch. The FULL forecast will be posted on our YouTube Channel as a separate video if you want to hear the whole thing.

  • What To Expect When You're Expecting ALIENS

    What To Expect When You're Expecting ALIENS
    2025/02/28

    Take Us To Your Leader, Weirdos!

    Actually... on second thought... pass lol.

    TW: missing people, suicide, government conspiracies, anti-vax propaganda

    Welcome to episode 2 of Season 9 and this week we have a VERY special guest! Her name is Justine Binx, she's been a listener of our show for YEARS, she quickly became a friend of the pod AND she's so dang good at Halloween she won a guest spot on our show!

    And what an amazing guest she was as she joined us to have a long chat about ALIENS!! At least once a year we try to dedicate an episode to our little grey friends in the sky and try to answer some of our most burning questions:

    What are they?

    Extraterrestrials? Interdimensional beings? Ultra-terrestrials? Our own government?

    Why are they here?

    Are they harvesting our organs? Studying us like an endangered species? Hoping to bring us into a higher consciousness? Do they want to save us or enslave us?

    And where do they come from?

    Most people assume its outer space, but maybe it's inner space? Another dimension? The ocean? A cave? Our own minds?

    Today we're going to try and find answers to these questions by examining UAP disclosure files, reading a sci fi novel from 1953, pondering the missing persons case of GRANGER TAYLOR from 1980 and even checking in with a former intelligence officer who goes by AÑJALI has seen a secret alien base with her own eyes.... allegedly.
