Your Brain On Weird

YBOW29: Foraging For Ghosts

Our brains are a little extra weird this time! Sam took us back to Ireland and told the story of Leap castle, where a bunch of really brutal stuff happened. It's definitely haunted in a bunch of weird ways. Remember, if you're going to make a living as an assassin, accept payment up front!
Then Jess reads us an article about edibles from the Science issue of High Times. How's THAT for science!
Thanks for listening!

YBOW28: Next Level Sandwiches (with Jeff)

TW: Suicide
This week we welcome back Jeff, except this time we're getting base broth Jeff. A more grounded Jeff, if you will. We sat down and he told us the story of the Heaven's Gate cult. They just couldn't stick to the deli or software development... However, they did get a GREAT deal on the shoes! It may be the most dangerous Crew you could ever decide to join.
Jeff also gave us some quick facts and warnings about our brains, on drugs!
Thank you so much for listening.

YBOW27: The Demon-Summoning Bridge

It's lucky number 27 (or "the exorcist" on naeq.io)!
Sam took us to Texas this week to check out Goat Man's Bridge. We are once again reminded that racism and white supremacy are the root of some of our favorite stories. We also found out that Jess is actually Goat Man and we decided to plan a trip to summon Baphomet once we are released from quarantine.
Jess got a little personal this week and shared her recent successes with taking CBD for a multitude of issues, then told us all the ways you can try CBD for yourself! (PSA: DO NOT BUY CBD ON AMAZON)
This also somehow ended up being our "Sister's Episode" thanks to some weird synchronicities.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW26: An Owl Wearing A Pleated Skirt

Welcome back to Your Brain On Weird, where everything is an owl apparently! Jess talked about the cryptid (alien?) that she thinks may be the sexiest, the Flatwoods Monster. Do they have arms? The world may never know. But they sure are fashionable!
Sam then gave us an update on what states are making moves for (or against) cannabis legalization in the US. Watch out for those stoners eating Twinkies outside of pot shops! They'll get ya!
Thanks for joining our brains once again!

A Little Weird: Vol. 6 (with Jeff)

First of all, sorry for pushing back this month's mini episode - October was crazy! However we think you'll like what we came up with.

Answers MBMBAM style and Jeff and Sam offered their professional insight.

YBOW25: Halloween Ramblin’ Party (with Seth & Chelsey)

Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain! We got together (on Zoom) with two of our closest occult pals to talk about all things creepy, weird, and scary. Seth told us about some of his personal experiences, we talked about the scariest things to ever happen to us, and we discuss Mothman's Butt in depth. We also discussed pooping ghosts, sexy cryptids, and how Seth is actually the Ozark Howler. We had so much fun recording this and we hope you'll join us!
There was no Meducation this week as we decided to focus on the Weird.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW24: A Dramatic Merrymaking

Welcome to an extra-special Halloween episode! Sam treated us to a dramatic reading of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. There was lots of talk of food and a wonderful time was had by all (except one unfortunate soul).
Jess then gave us an update on where marijuana stands on some state ballots for the November 3rd election. If you've already voted, thank you! Otherwise, get out and vote or we officially have permission to yell at you.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW23: The Au Gratin Witch

Trigger warning: discussion of abuse, suicide, and mental illness.
Let Satan take over! This week we discussed one of New England's first possessions, the case of Elizabeth Knapp. She definitely ate cheesy potatoes, we fact-checked it. Jess also complained a ton about Puritan America and we talked about our privilege as witches in modern times.
Meducation this week was once again brought to you by trans rights! Sam gave us another run-down of why different hormones effect the way that you process marijuana.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW22: Sallie and the Giant Dab

It's Halloween Month and therefor we're hitting y'all with some of the scariest stories that we know. Sam shared the story of the Sallie House in Kansas this week, a story that has traumatized us ever since we heard it. We could have talked about this place for hours but decided to refrain... For now.
Then Jess reads us 5 Fun Facts and Rumors About THC. We learned some really weird stuff during this segment, including exactly how big of a dab you would have to take to actually die.
Please excuse our audio quality this week, it was just too good for us to re-record!
Thanks for listening!

YBOW21: It’s Not a Demon, It’s a Ghost Dog!

Welcome back to the Wickedest Podcast in the... East? This week Jess covered a classic ghost town in Arizona. Jerome is quite literally a town full of ghosts, including a ghost dog, old-timey headless miners, and a bunch of strong-ass ladies.
Then Sam talks about the wonderful film that is Reefer Madness, aka our favorite thing to have come out of the 30's.
Thanks so much for listening!
