TW: Faith, references to hell, references to murder, sexism

Welcome to HELL weirdos!

And welcome back to KEEP IT WEIRD-- the podcast about all things strange and unusual, haunted and hellbound, paranormal and posiTIVELY creepy, and everything in between.

And this is SEASON NINE of our show!! Wow. Another year of weird and the best part is we get to spend it with you! This episode starts with Lauren sharing some interesting facts about VALENTINE'S DAY- easily the worst of our holidays. Then Ashley takes us into WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US where we research the origins of H E Double Hockeysticks and find out, whoopsie daisy, it's not even IN THE BIBLE. So where did the idea of eternal suffering in a realm of flames even come from? And Lauren finishes us off with a BIT O' BIOLOGY as we look at the incredible biological discoveries that 2024 brought us. From fingerprint technology (thanks jellyfish!) to natural fiberoptics (thanks heart cockles!) and even to new potential new plant medicine (thanks monkeys!)
