Hey Weirdos!

Wow, six years huh? That's a long time, a lot of episodes and a TON of topics. In those six years new information has come to light, DNA evidence has given us some answers, robots have evolved and in some cases-- scary situations got even scarier.

This week Ashley and Lauren are revisiting six stories that they shared on past episodes that have NEW information!

We get to find the identity of multiple Jane Does AND the famous Somerton Man (Taman Shud case) we check in on SOPHIA the robot to see what the heck her android ass has been up to, we hear from scientists who prove that a very famous theory in the Dytlov Pass Incident COULD be possible and we check in to see if the United States military has started taking sexual assault cases a little more seriously (Spoiler alert: they haven't.)

This episode was a lot of fun, it was really cool to revisit old stories we shared on the show and finally get some answers... and in some cases... even more questions

Join us next week as we FALL into OCTOBER

Let's all go to the lobby, weirdos!

This week is ALL ABOUT MOVIES!! A fun Crossover episode with our podcast from another broadcast- Movies that Made Us Gay!

Movies that Made Us Gay is ALL about the films we watched growing up that contributed to who we became as adults. So it's only appropriate that we take the time to celebrate the movies that made us WEIRD!

This week Lauren is joined by Scott and Pete as they revisit three 80's movies that in some way contributed to the strange individuals they grew into.

Pete starts us off with 1989's UHF starring Weird Al Yankovich, Scott is bringing us 1981's Roar - a film that had more problems on set than you could possibly imagine, and Lauren is taking about Parents (1989) which marked possibly the first- but definitely not the last- time that Randy Quaid scared the crap out of us.

Grab your popcorn, put on your coziest socks and pop that tape into that old dusty VHS player- it's time to get WEIRD!

Grab your bamboo sticks, weirdos!

It's time for another episode for the LADIES! This is part two of our WOMEN IN HISTORY series where we cover stories about women that we didn't hear about in our history or social studies courses that PROBABLY should have been covered.

Joined once again by Miss Patreon herself- Amy Hanselmann- this week Lauren is starting us off with some FEMALE VIGILANTES! It's not often that you see women taking revenge on a large scale such as this and why we had never heard of these bad bitches is beyond me. First up is Diana the Bus Driver Hunter out of Juarez Mexico and yes you did hear that right. Sick and tired of all of the attacks on women in her city she took it upon herself to fight back in the deadliest way and made men on public transportation think twice about putting their hands on a woman.

And we learn about the Gulabi Gang out of Northern India; a fierce group of women wearing HOT HOT PINK saris and carrying bamboo sticks (they hurt worse than they sound, just ask Ashley) to hunt down men who have participated in domestic abuse, child marriages, and ensuring that women and children's human rights are protected and provided.

And Ashley brings us home with the incredible story of Mileva Maric, a Serbian physicist and mathematician who you've never heard of-- but you've ABSOLUTELY heard of her work. She was the first wife, and truly the other half, of Albert Einstein. She turned in the papers.. but why was it only her husband's name written at the top?

Guten Tag, weirdos. Are you ready to burn your bra and kill some Nazis?

This week we are revisiting our hit series from 2020 - the SNACK PACK IS BACK as we learn about some AMAZING WOMEN from history that our history books just forgot to mention.

Ashley and Lauren are joined by Keep It Beard host AMY HANSELMANN as we discover some ladies who changed the world. This week we're focusing on some badass bitches from WWII- Truus and Freddie Oversteegen who, for lack of a better term, seduced Nazis and traitors to their death in the Netherlands. They joined forces with the famous "girl with the red hair" Hannie Schaft- a skilled assassin who was brutally tortured and put to death after spending years on Hitlers "most wanted" list.

And Amy brings us the story of Irena Sendler-- who saved TWICE AS MANY jews from death than Oskar Schindler, and yet, has no mainstream movie. Irena did whatever she had to do to protect Jewish people, and especially Jewish children, from the Nazi forces- saving over 2,500.

We hope this series educates you and INSPIRES you to be a troublemaker and do what is right, even in the face of certain death. Raise badass women who all grow up to know Hannie Schaft's last words to her executioner: "I shoot better."

Everybody get off your feet! Cause we got the Meat!

Anyway hey kids. We've got the meats. Welcome to part two of our EVOLUTION series!! There's less wackos, less drugs, and no Joe. But wait-- let me tell you why you SHOULD listen!

This week Ashley starts us off by telling us where white people came from. Ok... rough start... Lauren teaches us about a VERY plausible theory involving our evolving diets and what it may have done to our growing brains, we discuss the ways evolution can still be seen in the human body today, and we shed some light on what we may look like in the future.... See... I told you it was good.

Tune in to find out more about how we've changed in the last few MILLION years, why it's sillier to be racist than you initially thought, and why our grannies may have saved the human species.

DISCLAIMER: ARBYS DID NOT SPONSOR THIS EPISODE. NEITHER DID THE GOGOS. WE JUST ENJOY GOOD MUSIC AND ROAST BEEF.

Mmmmm Pudding Bones...

It's time to EVOLVE, weirdos! This is part ONE of our series on evolution and naturally we had to invite Mr. Anthropology minor himself HANDSOME JOE on the show to come teach us about some of the things he learned when he was hard at work NOT earning a degree in anthropology.

This week Joe starts us off discussing a major SOCIAL evolution that made us the human beings we are today. The AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION! I know it sounds boring... and maybe it is... but not when Joe is teaching it. How did we go from primitive humans to the Tesla driving, avocado toast munching, kama sutra reading beings we are today?

Ashley takes over to tell us her absolute FAVORITE theory of evolution- the grooviest theory we've got-- known as the Stoned Ape theory. Scientists are still searching for the answers to what on Earth (or beyond) enabled our species to enhance our intelligence and consciousness further than any other species on the planet? Could it be... DRUGS?!

And Lauren finishes the episode by teaching us some other totally plausible and not at all baseless theories on evolution that unfortunately come from our religious friends known as creationists. Stay tuned for this section if you REALLY want to hear Joe lose his cool, just make sure you turn the volume down juuuuuuuust a skosh.

Take me to your leader..

Oof, wrong time for that wouldn't you say? Mmmm our leaders are busy can we take you to our favorite musical artist instead? This week we are fired up for another EXTRATERRESTRIAL EXTRAVAGANZA as we continue our discussion on ALIEN INVASIONS!!

Only this time around we are posing the question-- what if they are already here? What if we're so busy looking for their ships in the sky that we don't even notice they've slipped in through the back door. Or maybe through the ocean?

Ashley kicks us off this week by teaching us about STARSEEDS! Extraterrestrial SOULS that have incarnated on earth to help with mankind's spiritual evolution. Lauren dives deep, DEEP into the depths of the ocean to look for secret alien bases. The girls discuss what an alien would actually LOOK like if they were already here with us. And we finish it off on a REAL BUMMER, as Lauren shares with us what some famous scientists, physicists, and of course- psychics- have to say about when and if the aliens are coming...

We come in peace, weirdos.

We're revisiting one of our all time favorite topics this week. This is PART ONE of another two part EXTRATERRESTRIAL EXTRAVAGANZA.

This time we are focusing on the idea of INVASION. We've seen it in a hundred movies, presented in a hundred different ways-- are any of them accurate? Will they show up guns-a-blazin' turning us individually into ash? Will they sneak in in the middle of the night? Will they come with a message of peace and gifts of technology? Or will they slowly take over our bodies one by one and by the time any of us realize something is very wrong its far too late and everywhere we turn will be infiltrated to the point where we are completely alone and left with no friends, no options, no hope. Jeez, got a little dark there.

Lauren starts us off by touching on different sci-fi alien tropes as we discuss our opinions on their likelihood and Ashley takes the reigns to present a real life phenomenon that presents us with EVEN MORE QUESTIONS about their intentions. Women and men being abducted all over the world and claiming that aliens took their DNA for experiments. What are they doing with it? Are they creating alien-human hybrids? Why?

Join us this week AND next as we try and find out what ET had to say when he phoned home.

This fall on House Haunters!

Ashley Casseday and Lauren Ogle are taking their talents to the HOME IMPROVEMENT realm and taking their SPIRITS with them!

Wouldnt that be a great show? Hey kids, welcome to one of your all time favorite episodes LISTENER GHOST STORIES!!
