Rich with Ice Money WOMEN & CHILDREN FIRST, Weirdos!! A new Titanic Conspiracy Theory is here, hot off the presses! Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange & unusual and the BEST place to find fear and fun. This week we've got FOUR strange segments for you starting off strong with a WHERE IN THE WORLD (Is Keep It Weird Going?!) Lauren is taking us to bright and sunny.... Connecticut? Yep, that's what my notes say. We're going to Connecticut to check out the world's only (??) CHRISTIAN theme park! Theme park is... a bit of a stretch, admittedly, but HOLY LAND USA is an American landmark that should probably be torn down for safety reasons. Built in the 50s and officially shut down in 1984 this abandoned death trap has been sitting on a hill in Waterbury for almost FOUR decades and you can learn all about it here. Next up is ANCIENT ARTIFACTS with ADDIE RIFE! Ashley is going to be teaching us all about an artifact from the 1800s that has seen more of the world than either of our two hosts. If you guessed that the artifact was Napoleon Bonaparte's penis then you should play the lottery. Find out where Napoleon's penis is and where it's been and what it looks like today! Lauren sings My Heart Will Go On with a CONSPIRACY THEORY all about our favorite boat. And our favorite banker? He's basically the only banker we know. JP Morgan (of Real Housewives fame) MAY have been behind the sinking of this famous ship all in the name of greed. Find out why "Titanic Truthers" believe this wild conspiracy. And finally, Ashley sends us packing with a brand new segment CREEPY CLOWN WATCH!! Pretty self explanatory, we'll be learning all about a creepy killer clown from Chicago IL! No not THAT creepy killer clown, a different one! Charles "Conway the Clown" Cramer (and his wife Mary) for sure killed one woman, but may have killed more, in Chicago in the early 20th Century. What came of the traveling circus couple after the murder(s)? Listen to find out.... Check out some links below if you want to do more research on today's FASCINATING topics!

Just Another Foggy Tuesday 11/17/2023

Just Another Foggy Tuesday Well well well, guess who’s back on their BS Weirdos! We’re back and we’re very sorry for the brief hiatus- sometimes life just cocks it’s fist back and gives you a swift left hook to the jaw and knocks you on your ass and the thought of being silly (and especially talking about death) is inconceivable. But we appreciate how lovely and forgiving you always are when we have to miss a week, especially when it is unexpected. This week your girls have some GREAT segments for you starting off with a BRAND NEW SEGMENT called DON’T FEAR THE REAPER!! This week’s DFTR is all about how reincarnation is totally real– it has to be! How else would you explain the life of Dorothy Eady?? Dorothy was born a normal girl in London in 1904 and everything was totally ordinary until the age of three on the day she DIED. But don’t worry she came back…. Again? Lauren follows it up with one of her favorite segments CURSED CROONERS AND SPOOKY SONGS and today the gals learn that they really didn’t know anything about the BUDDY HOLLY CURSE– but have no fear, you’ll learn it all here. Buddy Holly died in a plane crash in February 3, 1959 while on tour along with musicians Ritchie Valle and “The Big Bopper” JP Richardson and if that wasn’t unlucky enough… death seemed to follow the other tour performers around. Is it a curse? Or were they all DESTINATIONED?! Ashley follows CCASS with a PARANORMAL PARADISE about a house that bled?! It’s true, in 1987 in Atlanta Georgia the home of William and Minnie Winston started to produce HUMAN blood… and no one could tell them why. And finally, Lauren finishes off the episode with QUESTION QUESTION and the gals get a good laugh about what they would each be arrested for.

Monster Mash 10/20/2023

Monster Mash It's time for a graveyard smash, weirdos! Welcome to another creep-tastic episode of KEEP IT WEIRD- the podcast for all things strange, unusual and... classic? This week we're taking a trip back in time to chat about UNIVERSAL CLASSIC MONSTERS!! And.... one DC character, but we'll get to that. Ashley & Lauren are joined once again by our monster expert BILLY ROACH as we take a look at who created these monsters and why. Billy starts us off by covering FRANKENSTEIN; the fascinating details of how and where it was written by Mary Shelley, as well as the various film versions of the creature and movies and monsters that have been inspired by the stitched-together-man over the decades! Ashley comes in with THE INVISIBLE MAN! What were HG Well's inspirations for creating this man who couldn't be seen? The amazing special effects that haven't been beated so far from a movie made in 1933, why Hollow Man is the best interpretation of this character in the 21st Century, and why The Invisible Man (2020) is actually NOT a good movie. And finally, Lauren. Poor Lauren, who was given the assignment of "Swamp Thing" because Ashley didn't know there was a difference between SWAMP THING and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. But guess what? SHE KNOWS NOW! Lauren dives into both the fish man AND the plant man in her segment-- teaching us the origins of Swamp Thing in DC Comics, the various past iterations of the monster on film and even some upcoming projects to look forward to featuring this man-plant.

Mystical Mirror Medicine 09/15/2023

Mystical Mirror Medicine Mirror Mirror on the Wall! Please don't show me a haunted doll! Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD- your one stop shop for all things strange and unusual! This week we are answering the universe's most unusual question... what the f*ck is going on with mirrors?! What if you could replace all of your pill bottles full of anxiety and depression meds and just look into a mirror for a few minutes a day? What if you could see your past self and heal your trauma? What if you could travel to another dimension? It may sound crazy, but "crazy" is our middle name so buckle up! This week we are diving into all things reflective as Ashley teaches us about the Kozyrev Mirror experiments from the 1950s & the 1990s wherein physicists placed hundreds of subjects into a device that not only opened up their third eye but also caught the eye of extraterrestrials! We're also going to touch on the Chronovisor, a smiliar experimental device created by a priest, a physicist and a Nazi scientist that supposedly showed them the actual crucifixion of Christ that is being held at the Vatican, never to be seen again. Don't worry, Lauren brings us back to reality with some TRUE CRIME TIME as we look into the unsolved Tara Leigh Calico missing persons case and we question whether or not the famous photo of the two bound children helped or hindered the investigation.

This is a very special episode of Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange and unusual– because we have the king and queen of the strange and unusual joining us this week! This episode feels like it’s been seven whole years in the making and it’s finally here. Synchronicities may have brought us together but our anti-hypnotism stance is what will keep us friends. This week Ashley and Lauren are joined by Planet Weird’s very own GREG & DANA NEWKIRK!! Greg and Dana are the owners/operators of the Newkirk Museum of the Paranormal & Occult. You may have seen their appearances on shows like Kindred Spirits, Paranormal Lockdown, The World According to Jeff Goldblum or Finding Bigfoot. Or maybe you know them from their very own podcast The Haunted Objects Podcast where they discuss the history, folklore and supernatural significance of some of their most treasured haunted items. And if you don’t know them from any of those amazing things, you will know them as the driving force behind one of our all time favorite documentary series Hellier where they, along with Karl Pfeiffer and Connor Randall, take a trip to Hellier Kentucky to investigate some high strangeness and try to find some goblins. Well they are here today to talk about ALL kinds of strange phenomena, paranormal entertainment, the fact that hypnotism is just PLAIN RUDE, witchcraft, Hellier drinking games, the times they’ve been the most scared and so much more. We even get to gush a bit about their BRAND NEW DOCUMENTARY that is out TODAY September 8th THE UNBINDING. It’s the perfect way to start your spooky season right so head over to planetweird.tv and check it out now!

Horror Mullet 08/25/2023

Horror Mullet Scary up front but OK in the end! That's the accidental theme for this week's episode of KEEP IT WEIRD - The podcast for all things strange and unusual - and therefore our working title... But REAL Weirdos know the official title of this one... Hey, kids! If you're new here this is the show where Ashley & Lauren get together each week to talk about something WEIRD and this week had way too much body horror involved. We apologize to most of you but for some of you freaks: you're welcome? Ashley starts us off by taking us on a Magic School Bus ride for BODY TIME! Have you ever heard of Musical Ear Syndrome? Well some people are blaming this phenomenon for witnessing paranormal activity! But don't worry, we've got some alternative theories to compete with the skeptics. Lauren takes us into a JEEPERS CREEPERS that's all about our PEEPERS. Did you know that our eyeballs have something called "immune privelage?" It means that our eyes have a special relationship with our immune system that help protect them from inflammatory responses... but it also does horrible, terrible things. Ashley couldn't let our eyes get all the glory, she comes in next with another JEEPERS CREEPERS but this one is all about TEEFERS. Teeth, as adults call them. Did you know they could EXPLODE?! I don't need to say more about this, watch the ep to unlock new dental fears. Finally, Lauren wraps up the episode with a good old fashioned CONSPIRACY THEORY!! Only this time the conspiracy came true. The cold war made all of us a little cuckoo-- but possibly none moreso than the Canadian government who decided they needed to build the world's first "GAYDAR" to try to rid themselves of homosexual employees. But all it really did was prove that we just don't shame straight white men enough. Check out some links below if you'd like to do some more reading on today's topics!

Bug Juice at the Clown Motel 08/18/2023

Bug Juice at the Clown Motel Rollin' down the street smokin' indo, sippin on bug juice. LAID BACK! With my mind on those clowns and those clowns on my mind. Right? Anyway, hello and welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD!! The podcast for all things strange and unusual. We are the luckiest gals alive because each week we get to sit down and gab about something WEIRD! We hope you're not turned off by the Trigger Warning at the beginning-- it seems like this episode is going to be VERY heavy but it's surprisingly tame... except for all the death. This week Laura starts us off with one of our favorite new segments WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD!! Just like our hero Carmen Sandiego, we go ALL over this planet (in our hearts) in search of the world's weirdest places and boy we found a doozy. I'm surprised it took us seven years to talk about this place but HERE WE ARE. The Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada! Located directly across the street from a very spooky cemetery, this place has more clowns than one man or woman could possibly handle. Maybe that's why there's so much paranormal activity?? Orrrrr maybe they're trying to sell you a ticket. We will never find out, because we will not go. Ashley cuts in because she HAD A THOUGHT! Could it be that criminal profiler and FBI Agent John Douglas wasn't just ahead of his time and good at his job? Could he have been... psychic? It's just a thought OKAY!? And Lauren brings us home (or to hell?) with one of our newest segments, a SPONSORED segment called CURSED CROONERS AND SPOOKY SONGS (Sponsored by Melanie Vartabedian) as she shares with us possibly the most cursed song of all-- "Gloomy Sunday" by Rezso Seress. Did this song CAUSE suicides? Or was it the widespread famine and war in Hungary that pushed them over the edge? Is this song just too damn sad?

MIB BARBIE 08/11/2023

MIB BARBIE The good guys dressed in black, remember that Weirdos! Welcome to another week of weird with your two favorite freaks! Each week we have the pleasure of hanging out and chatting about something WEIRD and it's the greatest honor to do it with YOU!! This week Ashley has an ENORMOUS alien update in a new segment we are calling ZED WE HAVE A BUG! Obviously you all know that congress just held a hearing about UAP and UAP disclosure but what you may not know is whats happening on the DL. Ashley checked the tabloids, reddit and other dark corners of the internet to find out what was happening in the world of UFOs outside of congress. Starting with SEDGE MASTERS - a three article series from UFO Magazine in 1998 that is getting some new attention, a MYSTERY MAN posting on Reddit claiming to be a molecular biologist who worked on EBOs (aliens) from 2000-2010 and supposedly knows exactly what they are and where they come from, and finally we are taken on a bumpy ride by ERIC HECKER a firefighter and plumber (it will make sense when you listen) who was contracted to work on a base in Antarctica by none other than RAYTHEON-- and he claims that they are up to no good down there. Now, all of that is pretty heavy. Which is why we are grateful to have Lauren here to bring us a THIS WEEK IN WEIRD about the final capture of a con-man who escaped from prison FIVE YEARS ago and was just arrested last week. And she brings a fun GO QUESTIONS question about whether or not we'd help our loved ones cover up a murder. Check out the links below for your own personal reasearch!

Gifts from our Sky Daddy 07/28/2023

Gifts from our Sky Daddy All hail our sky daddies! Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD - the podcast for all things strange and unusual-- and this week we are looking to the stars QUITE A BIT NOW AREN'T WE?! This week we have a new SPONSORED SEGMENT called ANCIENT ARTIFACTS with Addie Rife! For our first trip we're making our way to Egypt and Ashley is teaching us about King Tut, his very short reign, why he is so so famous and also what the hell he was doing with a DAGGER FROM SPACE?! Lauren takes us into another new segment called WE DON'T CLAIM THEM which is where we chant "Shame" and throw rotten fruit at self proclaimed "weirdos" who do bad, bad things. This week she's fueling our hate fire for Cedric Lodge, his wife Denise and their slew of friends across the United States who have been trafficking HUMAN BODY PARTS. Worst of all, Cedric (was) the Harvard Medical School Morgue Manager. Boo Cedric. Shame!! SHAME!! And Ashley brings it right back around to our alien overlords in A BIT OF BIOLOGY as she discusses some CROP CIRCLES found in the perfect molecular makeup of Melatonin and Niacis (Vitamin B3) - What are our Sky Fathers trying to tell us about these chemicals? That we need to take better care of ourselves? Or that we are being oppressed by the powers that be by clouding our third eye and thus our spiritual judgement? Or maybe it was two farmers after a bar crawl... will we ever know? Check out some LINKS below if you want to do some continued reading.

Knock at the Coffin 06/30/2023

Requiem for a Dragon Dream 06/23/2023

Requiem for a Dragon Dream Hear Ye, Hear Ye weirdos! Welcome to another WACKY episode of your favorite WEIRD show! On Keep It Weird, each week we get together to talk about something strange and unusual and this week we have monsters of all shapes, sizes and species. You never know where we will go or what we will find so it’s best to be extra prepared. Grab your thickest gloves (Trust me) make sure you’ve got your sleep masks ready and fire retardant clothing wouldn’t hurt. Lauren starts us off with a MISS FRIZZLE as we take our magical school bus into the human body to answer the question “Can humans hibernate?” We discuss whether or not ancient man ever slept for months at a time, if there is a chance we can make it happen again, and would it be used for space travel or just for those of us who want to skip the hot sticky summer? Ashley takes us back in time for an ancient MONSTER WATCH as we discuss the existence of DRAGONS! The legend of a dragon has existed all throughout history– within cultures who had no contact with each other. Did they actually exist at one point? Are they a creation shared through a collective consciousness? Or are they just the scariest thing we can think of? Then it’s time to solve a crime in a super depressing TRUE CRIME TIME where nobody dies! But honestly, maybe it would have been better if they did. Lauren tells the story of Carlos- a man who was held captive by his own brother and sister for over TWENTY YEARS in what we now know… is a giant bird cage. And finally we wrap it up with some immersion therapy that literally makes things worse. A JEEPERS CREEPERS (God I hate this so much) featuring TARANTULAS. Everything you never wanted to know about God’s most creepy creature. Check out the links below for more details on today’s topics!

Peck of Pickled Parasites 06/16/2023

Peck of Pickled Parasites Grab your tin foil hats and your barf bags, you're in for a rough one! Hi weirdos welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual. Each week we get together to chat about something WEIRD and sometimes GROSS and this week it's GROSS! Ashley starts us off with a REAL OR HOAX segment featuring the sad, strange and especially sick story of Mary Toft- a servant who lived in the 1700s who tried to make it out of her impoverished life with a fraud so vile it's hard to even type it up. Let's just say it involves innocent bunnies being shoved up a vagina. There's no way to beat around that bush. Lauren swoops in to save the day with a CONSPIRACY THEORY that Queen Elizabeth I wasn't quite herself. In fact, she was so much so not herself that she was a man. Sure, part of the reasoning behind this conspiracy theory is misogynistic AF - but it's interesting nonetheless. Debbie Downer brings us down again with a new segment called JEEPERS CREEPERS (I hate this so much) in which we discuss an incurable genetic disease called Fatal Familial Insomnia that kills you in less than a year by ENSURING you never enter REM again. And REM is my favorite part of sleep! And finally, Lauren fails to cheer us up by taking us on a trip for a WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD GOING segment-- and Back to Tokyo we go! But this time there is no delicious Ramen. There is only hell. Meet us at the hottest date spot in Japan- the Meguro Parasitological Museum! Or you can call it by it's shorter name-- THE PARASITE MUSEUM. Home of the world's longest tapeworm! Check out the links below if you want to read more about today's WEIRD stories.

Unidentified: Eyes on the Skies 06/09/2023

Unidentified: Eyes on the Skies They’re here, weirdos And hopefully they come in peace because we are S.O.L. if not. Hi! We’re interrupting our regularly scheduled program to bring you up to speed on all things UFO! This week Ashley is breaking down the latest UFO news including the whistleblower, David Grusch, who claims that not only are UFOs real but that the US government has PHYSICAL EVIDENCE and gosh darnit we deserve to know about it! We also breakdown WHY it is important for us to know about the UFOs– important for ALL humankind, not just ET enthusiasts– and we take a look back at some important UFO and Extraterrestrial moments throughout our show that may give us an idea of what is going on behind the scenes… and what we may have to look forward to.
