The Grunion Flop
3w ago01:14:58Tap to summarizeHello you POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS we're diving deep this week! Sorry about the audio on this one— we had AC and fans on GOD BLESS ME IT'S FUCKIN SUMMAH— we'll have it fixed for next time. TW: This episode contains foul language, off color jokes about suicide and murder (you'll be fine) mentions of dolphin rape and spoilers for My Octopus Teacher This week we are joined by a very special return guest, our resident oceanic expert, baker of the sweetest treats and budding amateur paranormal investigator MEL VARTABEDIAN!! Mel is BACK to talk all things DEEP SEA - we discuss some new species that have been discovered, behaviors that have been observed and try and answer some of my strangest ocean questions like "could grey aliens be evolved dolphins" and "do you think a 392 year old shark would be racist?" Check out our LINKS if you want to see what we had the pleasure of seeing during this discussion and come explore glass castle worms, Greenland sharks, grunion fish, octopus cities, deep trenches and so much more.

These are turning into my all time favorite episodes and not JUST because they are named after my Gabby Goob (RIP) but sometimes it's fun to just GAB. I thought it would be a good idea to steer the direction of the conversations so I'm going to start giving ourselves a topic for each monthly GAB SESH so PLEASE send in some random topics you'd love to hear me chat with our guests about. This month's guest-- you've heard him a LOT lately but I dont think anyone is complaining-- Handsome Joe is hanging with me and chatting about FEAR. We discuss our fears, times we've felt the most afraid, scariest movie moments, strange fears and more!!

Conspiracy Query
Jun 501:05:09Tap to summarizeWELCOME TO SEASON 10! Hi Weirdos! Welcome back for another season of STRANGE & UNUSUAL conversations! WARNING: This episode contains foul language and mentions of murder, suicide and child sexual abuse. This week we are putting a new twist on an old classic and discussing some new CONSPIRACY THEORIES. I scoured the internet to see what conspiracies people were discussing and I picked a handful of my favorites to share with a man who has no filter and no patience-- my husband HANDSOME JOE! Today we discuss aspects of Missing Malaysian Flight MH370, the Miami Mall Incident, Extraterrestrial DNA alterations, the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the Kennedys and much more.

WEIRD REPORT: WAYMO THAN WE BARGAINED FO (PATREON)
May 3100:21:22Tap to summarizePlease enjoy the first 20ish minutes of this month's WEIRD REPORT! You can listen to the full episode by joining our patreon at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast Hello Beardos, Weirdos, Teardos AND Feardos and welcome to your May 2026 WEIRD REPORT!! Every month we break down the previous 30 or so days worth of STRANGE NEWS headlines, TRUE CRIME updates and HORROR ENTERTAINMENT announcements as we chit chat and share some spooky stories! Amy Hanselmann is back on the mic this week and we're talking everything from competitive eating to self driving cars. And this will be the LAST episode of the Weird Report that is going to be Patreon only. I'm going to be moving the Weird Report to the MAIN POD because I think it's a great way to stay in the know on what weird things are happening in the world - so the main feed will feature a surprise guest episode and a weird report every month while the Patreon episodes are going to be MORE LIKE the main feed eps and will all be an hour long. I do want YOUR INPUT on what you'd like your patreon content to be-- if you want more Ask Me Everything, Spooky internet stories with Amy, if you want more experiments with bibliomancy, if you want more Keep It Teared with Lauren and Julia-- LET US KNOW! As usual you can scroll to get the links for all the news stories we shared this week if you want to do any further reading. Very excited to be coming back to you FULL TIME this June and hope that this new era of KIW is fun and refreshing and as WEIRD as ever! -\/\/ https://www.npr.org/2026/05/24/nx-s1-5833165/california-chemical-tank-malfunction-leak-explode-emergency-evacuate https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/pastors-warned-ufo-files-may-challenge-biblical-beliefs/gm-GM552E9F35 https://premierchristian.news/us/news/article/pastor-apologises-after-claiming-congressman-said-aliens-invented-christianity https://apnews.com/article/joey-chestnut-competitive-eating-battery-probation-3f0851422f470e5c4a25d9843e9f38ec https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/atlanta/empty-waymos-invade-atlanta-neighborhood-circle-cul-de-sac-hours-with-no-passengers/CSNV2G5CZFHHFP6BOH6YF5RCFU/ https://www.zmescience.com/medicine/scientists-may-have-found-w https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/articles/clyp37py7mqo https://san.com/cc/is-the-apocalypse-now-one-man-is-tracking-flights-by-the-rich-to-find-out/? https://montrealgazette.com/news/montreal-strippers-plan-walkout-for-f1-weekend/ https://swedenherald.com/article/teenager-stole-bus-and-drove-over-300-kilometers-again https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15811911/Alabama-woman-shot-killed-husband-annoying.html https://www.mensjournal.com/news/former-child-kidnapping-victim-elizabeth-smart-makes-wild-pivot-into-competitive-bodybuilding

No, Woman, No Cap Fam: A Patreon Clip
May 2300:18:20Tap to summarizeThis is the first 15 minutes of our latest Patreon episode which you can join at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast! As Bob Marley always said... No, Woman, No Cap FAM. Welcome to another edition of ASK ME EVERYTHING where Handsome Joe and I sit down to answer questions sent in by YOU, our lovely listeners - we tell stories, we shoot the shit, and we genuinely have a good time doing it. This week we answered: What is the fastest way you've seen a coworker get fired? Assuming athletes would be nude in the modern Olympics like they were in ancient greece, which event would be the worst to watch? You are teleported back to 2001 terminator style and end up in the middle of times square. What do you do or say to convince people you aren't on drugs? If you could choose anyone alive or dead OR EVEN fictional to be the next President of the United States who would you choose and why? We also chatted about UFO disclosure, loving & hating Gen Z, historical knowledge and Joe even tries to test my military knowledge and we ALL know how I feel about that. IF YOU EVER WANT TO SUBMIT A QUESTION FOR ASK ME EVERYTHING PLEASE DO! We'd love to do more of these this year but we can't record one without questions sent in BY YOU so you can comment on the episodes with questions, you can DM us here with questions and you can even email us at keepitweirdpodcast@gmail.com with the Subject "ASK ME EVERYTHING" I'll be back with you in a couple weeks with your May WEIRD REPORT! I hope you're having the absolute best warm up to Summer EVER! -\/\/
