Your Brain On Weird

YBOW47: Weed at the Weatherford

It's time to go micro dose some THC at a haunted hotel! Trust us, it's a nice hotel. They have clawfoot tubs! Also tons of ghosts, as Sam decided to tell us about this week. We decided that a trip to Flagstaff is in our future and spent way too much time obsessing over a hotel, once again. We also talked about some more fun discoveries about our friendship related to the moon (of course).
For Meducation this week we talked about edibles again, but this time Jess told us about dosage and what is a comfortable dosage of THC for most people.
Thanks for listening!

A Little Weird: Vol. 10 (The Moth)

March's little weird is out a little late because it ended up being, well, not so little. This month, we got a taste of some 1850's Cautionary Tales - and some fun poems about cats.
Sam then introduced us to The Moth, a concept that not only fits our show perfectly but reminded us of why we're #TeamMoth. We opened up about our personal transformations after watching Hellier and really embracing our most authentic selves, inspired by The Moth. We talked about our personal journeys with depression and how embracing magick has helped us find the beauty in life.
This episode really helped us grasp a new perspective and we hope you get the warm and fuzzy feelings that we got while we were recording.
Thank you so much for listening!

YBOW46.5: Get Weird and Get Weed

April Fools! Here's the episode, for real this time:
This week, Jess returned to one of her favorite stories and shared her love of the Winchester Mystery House (specifically Sarah Winchester). This house has all kinds of crazy quirks and features, including non-functional doors and stairs that lead to nowhere. It is absolutely gorgeous, though. We also talked about how not all mediums can be trusted, some can even be wildly manipulative.
For Meducation this week Sam consulted High Times once more for some news on legalization in Greece, of all places. We personally can't wait to smoke some weed on a tropical island.
Thanks for listening and Happy April!

YBOW45: Hungover in Hell

We went thrifting and found a book on Chinese mythology, where Sam learned about the story of The Monkey King. This satirical legend is full of twists and turns and Sam gave us the best summary they possibly could. Bring your bespoke wands because it's a hell of a ride!
Jess Meducated us this week by giving us an update on cannabis legalization as well as reparations for black families effected by past cannabis convictions. We talked about how a Chicago suburb is starting to set a precedent for the rest of the country.
Special thanks to Robin Rue Simmons and Evanston, IL for working to make change happen.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW44: Tarot, Pronounced Like Carrot

PSA: Tarot is NOT pronounced like carrot!
To celebrate offering tarot readings again, Jess gave us a rundown of the Major Arcana in tarot, otherwise known as the "Fool's Journey". It's the perfect journey for fools like us! Join us for part one as we go over the history, as well as a brief description of all 21 Major cards.
No Meducation this week, we just talked about a really nice synchronicity that happened this weekend and reminded us that we are exactly where we need to be - smoking lots of weed.
Thanks for listening! You can book a tarot or oracle reading with Jess here: https://readingswithsage.as.me/

YBOW43: Making a Racket

Trigger Warning: blackmail, torture, sexual assault, sex trafficking
Sam took us back into the "wonderful" world of cults this week with the story of NXIVM. Not to be confused with the heartburn medication, this is a MLM-turned-sex cult that messed with a lot of people's lives. Honestly... There's not that much that's funny about it. But we can join together in collectively hating all of the people involved!
This week's Meducation was about Delta-8 THC, or "Weed Lite". We talked about the difference between it and Delta-9, where it stands now, and why you should NEVER buy your drugs from gas stations and truck stops. Seriously, don't do it.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW42: Hasta Sativa!

Trigger Warning: sexual abuse and assault, discussions of death, animal mutilation, torture, and murder.
This episode is just full of awful stuff! Don't blame us, blame The Bridgewater Triangle. For Part Two of this series Jess tells us about more crazy stuff that may be related to the paranormal... Or it could just be bad people doing bad things. We also get to complain about the Satanic Panic again which is always fun!
Then we give Maryland a well-deserved congratulations for setting an example for cannabis legalization.
Thanks for listening!

A Little Weird: Vol. 9

This month's bonus episode is a LOT of weird packed into a little time!
For our February Little Weird we dove into the depths of the internet for some interesting finds and discussion topics! We talked about Halloween costumes and Frisbee-Earth, and had an existential crisis about UFO evidence.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW41: An Ancient Slip N’ Slide

This week Sam covered a little bit of Greek Mythology with the story of Hades and Persephone (not pronounced like "xylophone"). We talked about olive oil, pomegranates, the seasons, and some inappropriate family relationships. We blame Zeus.
Then Jess read a really fascinating article on how marijuana legalization effects workers compensations claims in the US, and we get an update on legalization. Somewhere out there, New Jersey's smoking weed!
This episode was full of laughs and inspired us to finally switch over to the comedy genre! Also, check out our new blog on our website! Because we're bloggers now!
This episode is dedicated to Persephone and Dionysus.
