Weirdwide

Well, we have managed to finally put 2024 to bed, yet we live only to face a new nightmare...2025.  So, your favorite weirdos are coming at you with a very laid back, unscripted and unplanned, no holds barred special, where we let our random nonsense lead the way.

We close out 2024 by asking the important questions like is water smart? How much is "a lot" when it comes to poaching eggs? 

We go into our thoughts on Kody Brown, look into some smut(with a sample reading by JD!) As well as discuss the difference between polyamory and polygamy.  We're all over the place on this one, so if your brain is fried already going into the new year, let our nonsense be a port in that mental storm!

It is that strange, surreal time of year, between Christmas and New Years that just seems totally off.  Time means nothing.  The rules are at their most flexible.  Never a better time for a Beyond Weird episode.  Bloopers and bits from the cutting room floor, these are some of the conversations that didn't make the cut, a perfect helping of randomness during this weird time of year.

Kick back with us as we dive into the dark, mischievous legend of Krampus, the festive anti-Santa who’s been terrifying naughty kids for centuries. In this laid-back episode, we explore the roots of this horned holiday icon, from Alpine folklore to his modern-day resurgence in pop culture. Whether you’re sipping eggnog or hiding from Krampus’ switch, join us for a chill conversation full of lore, laughs, and a few surprises. You’ll never look at December the same way again.

In this episode, your favorite weirdos dive into the ancient origins of Christmas traditions and uncover the surprising ways pagan festivals influenced the holiday we know today. 

From the feasts of Saturnalia in Rome to the Norse celebration of Yule, we explore the rituals, symbols, and festivities that shaped modern Christmas customs. Why do we decorate trees, exchange gifts, or celebrate with feasts? 

Join us as we trace these traditions back to their roots and reveal how they were adapted into Christian practices over centuries. Whether you’re a history buff, a holiday enthusiast, or just as fed up with the holidays as our own resident Grinch, Ashley, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the season of joy.

Onions. Have. Layers!

We are back with a Weird News edition of Weirdwide! 

Looking at some of the weirdest nonsense to happen recently, from The Onion buying InfoWars, aliens in the water, Ashley discovering the Norwegian Black Metal controversies, and more! 

In 1932, Australia declared war—not on a neighboring nation, but on an army of flightless birds. The Great Emu War stands as one of history's most bizarre military campaigns, pitting the Australian government and its soldiers against a horde of crafty, unstoppable emus wreaking havoc on farmland. 

In this episode, your favorite weirdos dive into the origins of this peculiar conflict, the tactics (and mishaps) of the emu "battles," and the unexpected outcomes. Was it a victory for the emus? And what lessons, if any, can we take from this feathered fiasco? 

Join us for a fascinating and funny look at one of history's quirkiest wars.

In this chilling episode, we dive into the dark, twisted world of John Wayne Gacy, one of America’s most infamous serial killers. 

Known as the “Killer Clown,” Gacy led a double life as a well-liked community member in Chicago while hiding horrifying secrets in his basement. We’ll explore his background, his descent into violence, and the disturbing details of his crimes.

This episode is a journey into the psychology of a man who turned the American dream into a nightmare.

This week your favorite weirdos are getting pervy, we're doing one of the interwebs' new favorite challenges, Hear Me Out.

Usually there's a cake involved but we didn't bring a cake.  Instead, we each take turns showcasing some of the weirdest people/characters/monsters that we would...get weird with!

It is time for another Beyond Weird edition of Weirdwide! 

Bloopers, behind the scenes and things left on the cutting room floor, get ready for all the on-the-mic chaos and random nonsense your favorite weirdos come off with!

In this episode, we delve into the eerie legend of the Casket Girls of New Orleans. 

These young French women arrived in the city during the 18th century, their mysterious wooden chests—or caskets—giving rise to dark rumors of vampirism and the supernatural. 

Were they simple brides-to-be, or did their arrival mark the beginning of something more sinister?
