Your Brain On Weird

YBOW40: Water That Has Not Yet Melted

For our 40th(!) episode, Jess jumped into Part One of The Bridgewater Triangle. This is another one of those places in Weird New England with a dark history where anything can happen. We've got UFO's, Bigfeet, hairy chipmunk men, and more! Be prepared to get a little ~uncomfortable~ this episode...
In a new and exciting Meducation segment, Sam covered Stoner Horoscopes written by Adora Zen. These were pretty accurate and made us realize that our smoking habits may have something to do with our star charts! Sorry in advance to our Scorpio and Sagittarius listeners.
Thanks so much for listening!

YBOW39: Your Binnall On Weird (with Tim Binnall)

For this week's special, ad-free episode, we were graced with the presence of Tim Binnall, host of Binnall of America and overall Cool Guy.
Tim gave us a little run down on the history and beliefs of those who subscribe to the Flat Earth theory (spoiler alert: he is not a flat earther.) He told us about some of the people he's met and what he's learned from interacting with them. We also discussed conspiracies, COVID, and what it's like to be involved in the paranormal community.
Special thanks to Tim once again for joining us!

YBOW38: Cold and Confused

This week Sam started a discussion about the recent news surrounding the Dyatlov Pass incident. If you don't know the entire story, we recommend listening to the series by Astonishing Legends first - then come back here for our lively debate! Sam told us about the recent developments and we talk about whether or not it checks out for us. Once again we are completely thrown off by shoes, of all things.
Then we are reminded for the Billionth time why hydration is so important, especially if you are a regular cannabis user.
This episode is dedicated to the 9 young people who lost their lives in the Ural mountains.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW37: Flavinoid Flav

Spoiler Alert! If you haven't listened to Sam's episodes on the Estes Method, or are unfamiliar with it, go listen to episodes 34 and 36 first! This week Jess gave us a quick run-down on what automatic writing is as well as some fun things that have happened related to it throughout history. We then discuss how to do automatic writing and how we plan to incorporate it in future investigating!
Then, for Meducation this week, we talked about Purple Weed and why it's not as special as everyone typically thinks.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW36: Ghost Foraging Expeditions

Sam leads us on an adventure in Part Two of their Stanley Hotel / Spirits of the Stanley series! We meet all of the ghosts that the team has the chance to meet during their investigations and discuss some Hellier-adjacent themes. This episode also re-affirmed our desires to go out and forage for ghosts ourselves!
For Meducation this week we discuss our recent smoking habits, what we're smoking, and how we've been feeling. Join us on our Weedscapades!
Thank you for listening, as always.

YBOW35: Just 1500’s Things!

Did you miss hearing about awful things? We thought so!
Jess gave us a brief biography of Elizabeth Bathory this week. We discussed conspiracy, misogyny, and all of those quirky things people used to do in the 1500's. No literal blood bathing in this episode unfortunately, just a lot of badassery (and possibly murder).
Sam hit us with some knowledge about other drugs and drug classification for this week's edition of Meducation. We learned this week that our sentencing system is completely fucked up and are not shocked at all!
Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to Your Brain On Weird and our first episode following the New Year!
This week Sam introduced us to The Stanley Hotel and it's history. We discuss hotel architecture, Steven King, and get an introduction to some of the Stanley's ghosts. This is part one of a multi-part inter-connected series, so you won't want to miss it!

YBOW33: Satan is Me!

Happy New Year!!
Take a hit for every time we say "Satan" in this episode (do so responsibly).
For the start of 2021 Jess brought us the topic that we've been asked about the most! We found out that, as Satanists, we apparently have supernatural powers and can transform into cats and also fleas! We also discuss the history of Satanism and its effect on people in modern times.
Join us for some Light and Casual Satanism!
Hail Satan!
