Weirdos Wine

Congratulations, you've hit the weird shit jockpot! Creepy cryptids? Check! Poltergeist activity? Check! UFO's? MFing check MFers!  Skinwalker Ranch, southeast of Ballard, UT, is allegedly the site of poltergeist and UFO-related activities, so its naturally the topic of our twelfth episode. Nicole will be your tour guide for this episode, and she weaves a fascinating story about the legend of the skinwalker, and challenges us to disagree with the opinion that white people have basically just been the dumpster fires of humanity all throughout history.

Pour a drink (trust us,  you need one for this episode), find a safe place and listen to a tale about bullet-proof dire wolfs (that's the name of our new indie band...coming soon) and the strange occurrences that Tom Gorman and his family faced while they lived at Skinwalker Ranch. Nicole goes deep down the hell well, detailing the complicated logistics of a pole digger, a hippie losing his shit, and Jackie crushing on Predator (we think t's the dreads, but judge for yourself).

Special thanks to the book that we used as research for this episode: Hunt for the Skinwalker by Colm A. Kelleher Ph.D.,‎  and George Knapp. Check it out!

Founder and co-host Nicole is a paranormal investigator who loves to talk about spooky stuff and her lifelong fetish with Bigfoot, aliens and Chupacabra. You can find her on Instagram (@staberella)

The weirdos are back to their favorite things! Nope, it's not ghost or booze this time. Jackie tells us a good ol' serial killer tale from mother Russia! While Nicole decides if Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles really do exist in the sewer, Jackie tells us about the Alexander Yuryevich "Sasha" Pichushkin aka "The chessboard killer". There are seriously no rainbows and ponies here as we hear about the graphic crimes Alexander committed on 53 people. Don't worry folks, we also talk about a badass lady's story that survived this douchebag chess nerd rampage. Do you start laughing awkwardly when it gets uncomfortable ? Because we do!

We're baaaaaack! Welcome to season two, featuring an extended format that really showcases our versatility. Just kidding; it's booze. We talk about booze more. So, murder, the paranormal, and booze. Yes, our parents are proud of us, thanks so much for asking. 

Pull up a barstool (made from reclaimed wood if you're hipster)and sip your favorite drink while we all get to know one of the country's few female distillers. Laura Johnson founded You & Yours Distillery in San Diego, CA, and was featured on Forbes' 30 under 30 - Food & Drink list in 2018. We don't talk about that though, Instead, we learn how taking faux sick days as a child helped her find a passion. Let us know if you once shared her childhood dream of growing up to be...well, spoilers, so you'll just have to listen, baby, one more time.  

This amazing audible journey will leave you with the infallible knowledge that Laura is a badass, and though you won't get any secret recipes you will learn how her road led to her creating  a unique brand of gin & vodka (yes, we tried it, OBVIOUSLY). Annnnnnnd it wouldn't be a bonafide W&W episode without hearing a ghost story and a few awkward childhood stories. 

We've got an extra special episode, just in time for our favorite holiday - Halloween! This two-for one episode features a few guests and our first-ever live recordings. On this episode we'll be doing a special onsite paranormal investigation/interview with Deviatus Podcast & interviews from Jackie's amazing Harry Potter Halloween party!

In the first half, Nicole meets up with fellow paranormal investigator Jeremy, host of Deviatus podcast (check it out - but after you listen to this episode, of course), These two see what kind of boil, boil, toil and trouble they can get into during an investigation from a San Diego cemetery. Listen to a recap of their experiences from that investigation and bear witness as Jeremy curses for the first time! You'll also get to hear an EVP captured during the investigation! Check out Jeremy's show at https://deviatus.com/

For the second half of this episode, we take our listeners to Hogwarts! We interview guests at Jackie's Harry Potter-themed Halloween party (which was pure magic!) and learn about their paranormal experiences. Here for the murders and feeling left out? Don't worry, listen closely; there is something for you, too.

Elfin Forest/Harmony Grove/Questhaven in California

Oh boy. Well, we hope you enjoy listening to our drunken ramblings, cause....we sure bring it. Not sold? how about if we told you this episode is a milestone for us; our first MALE guest! Yup, we believe in going beyond the vagina magic.

But first...

To celebrate Nicole finishing the Harry Potter books we play a Harry Potter edition of 'F***, Marry, Kill' and we're only, like, 20 years late to the game. Also, Nicole talks about the exotic wild birds running amuck (amuck! amuck!) in San Diego and we find out why this episode had to be titled "parakeeeeeys." After more ruckus from Nicole, we finally get to hear her hometown ghost story of Elfin Forest, located in Escondido, CA. 

Join us with a drink as we babble about the area that has many urban legends and ghost stories, and attempt to tell the truth behind the legends.

Our favorite Weirdos are drunk again and ready to present: the Villisca Axe Murder House! But first: if you have your period on every full moon are you a werewolf? What if you just have a nipple hair or two?

Jackie, our mwwwurduur extraordinaire transports us to 1912 Iowa (really, Iowa?!!? Thanks.)and reminds us that sometimes being nosey is a good thing. So, this one time, a Nosey Nelly knocked on her neighbor's door and got WAY more then she bargained for. Bitch wanted to know about some chickens and instead got reallllllly familiar with what corpses look like. How many corpses? Who killed them? How were they killed? Well, damn, listen to the episode, ya nosey weirdo. We probably answer some of those questions. 

Murder, schmuder...oh, you're here for the supernatural stuff? Well, welcome to your tape. This two-fer episode is loaded with the mysterious and mysterious-er. Jackie tags in Nicole to talk about the reported hauntings that linger at that same house, the hidden economy behind trendy haunted destinations for paranormal teams (eat your heart out, Freakonomics), why she hates orbs, and in a creepy twist, shares some cool* EVPs!  Special thanks to Prism Paranormal, who posted the EVPs that we found through our research**. 

*Note from Producer Unikitty: the phrase "cool EVPs" was not approved for use but no one listen to her because she scares easily.

Nicole and Jackie's bickering about Gillian Anderson finally gets producer Unikitty to step in front of the microphone for an epic referee moment. That is probably enough to get you to listen, but you'll also be treated to a lengthy discussion about animal wangs, nipple hues, and absolutely NO murder. OK, fine, we know you're here for the murder, and we d-e-l-i-v-e-r. 

According to wherever we get our research, there have been 770 deaths in the Grand Canyon since 1869. Please don't @ us with corrections, we're here to be social and drunk, not to be factual. Obviously there are some factors here like poor record-keeping, suicides, accidents, and unreported murders (unlike Pokémon, you can't catch 'em all). So let's just inflate that number to 1 million and call it a day.

For those sick bastards curious about the grim details of every (reported)Grand Canyon murder (just kidding, you're totally normal), check out the interactive Over the Edge map, where you can click on any pinpoint to read all the details on record. 

Jackie takes the lead in this episode, focusing on serial killer Robert Spangler. Sarcastic spoiler alert: the Grand Canyon was the setting for one of his kills. 

Sources and shit we want to recognize: We used Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon by Michael P. Ghiglieri and Thomas M. Myers to research both of our Grand Canyon episodes.

Grand Canyon Part One

Highlights of this episode include: two interesting, intelligent, drunk girls talking about paranormal stuff. Oh, and these topics: Crash Canyon, El Tovar hotel, Hopi House, and a creepy photo taken at the Grand Canyon (courtesey of Week in Weird).

Intrigued? So were we. 

Sit back, pick your poison and brace yourself for our first ever two-parter! The Grand Canyon is just too big for one episode;  it's rich with legends and ghost stories, In part one, Nicole dishes on her recent trip to the area and a place that's not known to many visitors; the Pioneer Cemetery.

Jackie hosts true crime story time! Join your weirdest gal pals for an insightful (drunk)discussion (drunk chat) about becoming crazy cat ladies, the art of ugly sweaters and the universal fear of dying alone. You'll also be treated to a "deep" and "meaningful" conversation (drunk rant) about the current state of Katy Perry. If you make it through all that weird stuff, you get to hear Jackie sing her hometown crime story! OK, fine, she doesn't sing but the rest of that is true. Not even singing could drown out the horror of this murder. Stay away if you need trigger warnings - just assume this podcast has all the trigger warnings. And with that, Weirdos & Wine brings you the story of the Bath School disaster, 

The Weirdos & Wine podcast is what happened when two awkward friends that live in San Diego discovered a shared passion for drinking and weird stuff, and decided to share it with the world. They talk about what it was like growing up as weirdos - and remaining weirdos in adulthood - while exploring their passion for true crime, art, nerdy stuff, the macabre, and the paranormal. They share and discuss stories with each other and occasionally with other weirdos that harbor a passion for the bizarre and strange while drinking a glass (or two…or three) of their chosen poison (spoiler alert: it's not always wine).

Founder and host Nicole is a paranormal investigator who loves to talk about spooky stuff and her lifelong fetish with Bigfoot, aliens and Chupacabra. You seriously do not want to see her browser history. She is a recovering goth, but her passion for cemeteries and dead things has stayed alive long after she stopped shopping at Hot Topic. You can find her on instagram (@staberella)

Co-host Jackie is an experienced artist and designer. When she's not on Instagram looking up photos of cats, she's Googling serial killers and feminist vagina magic stuff. Again, you do not want to see her browser history. This badass lady can school you on Disney, make you curious about murder, and be your drinking buddy. She is crafty enough to make a shank out of a mason jar, putting the fear of God into the local San Diego hipster market. You can find her on instagram (@jaxtastical)

Third time's a charm! Tune in as we welcome Producer Unikitty back from her Ireland vacation and make some assumptions about what the country smells like, Also,  Nicole treats Jackie to a journey of self-exploration and spiritual awakening...OR she tells Jackie about the Haunted Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. One of those two things. Guess you'll have to listen to find out which is true.
