TW: Torture, starvation, humiliation, death, apocalypse & end times (specifically the religious kind) 

Another day, another END TIMES PROPHECY.  

That's ok though, because after THIS episode you're either going to feel secure that the world is not going to end OR you're going to be begging for its destruction.
 
Hello this is Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange & unusual!  Every time we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception.
 
Ashley starts us of with the segment END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT and tells us all about the PROPHECY OF SAINT MALACHY (more commonly referred to as The Prophecy of the Popes) In 1139 AD Malachy had an intense vision that documented ALL future popes.  The end times would come during the time of the 112th pope.  AND WOULDN'T YA JUST KNOW IT -- guess who is number 112!
 
Lauren does nothing to make us feel better about ourselves as we dive into REALITY TV CORNER and discuss the horrific story Susunu! Denpa Shōnen in which a young fella named Nasubi was forced to stay alone and unclothed in a small apartment (with no food or access to the outside world) until he won enough money playing mail in sweepstakes to earn his way out.  Did we mention he didn't know he was being broadcast LIVE??
 
And finally we jam our way into REAL OR HOAX as we discuss the Nazca Alien Mummies.  You may remember them from that presentation to the congress of Mexico last year?  Journalist (& ufologist) Jaime Maussan is NOT letting go of these corpses and he's still releasing bits of their discoveries every day.  Are these cake-like mummies the real deal??  Or are they just another hoax (like the mummies he produced in 2015) (and the mummies he produced in 2016)(and the mummies he produced in 2017)

TW: genetic experimentation on animals, mention of Satan
 
 

Oh Frabjious Day, weirdos!

 
Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, hairy and scary, mysterious and unknown and everything in between!!
 
This week we cover FOUR very WEIRD topics, we introduce some new segments, we show off some cool stuff we bought with our adult money and we even recite some poetry.
 
Lauren starts us off with her very first MONSTER WATCH as we head to Santa Paula California in search of the BILLIWHACK MONSTER.  This thing might be a bigfoot, a government experiment gone horribly awry, an interdimensional creature that crawled through a hole in space-time or possibly the devil himself.
 
Ashley brings us two stories in a new segment she calls MONKEY'N AROUND!  First up is our new favorite Orangutan, KEN ALLEN.  Known as the "Hairy Houdini" at the San Diego zoo, Ken became famous for outwitting his zoo handlers and escaping his "inescapable" enclosure several times.  Then we head into the modern day and discuss China splicing human DNA into chimpanzees.  The goal is to attempt to find the gene that gave us consciousness... but could it result in Planet of the Apes?
 
And finally Lauren gives us a BIT O' BIOLOGY with a 2009 study in Scientific American regarding music and how not only does it move us emotionally and affect our "heart" but it also might affect our HEART!! That's right, it's possible that Music may help keep your cardiovascular system regulated and we may be able to use music in the future to help treat victims of heart attacks and strokes to re-regulate their circulatory systems.

WARNING: This episode contains foul language, discussions about death, suicide, drug use, the afterlife, demonic activity, and the deaths of animals.  There are music and sound effects that may be jarring to some listeners.

Do you hear that weirdos?  That strange creak down the hall?  The footsteps on the stairs?  The whisper just behind your shoulder?

Well you WILL after you listen to this GHOST STORIES MEGA SODE!! It’s been 8 years (7-½ but whose counting?) and every season we have multiple LISTENER GHOST STORIES episodes where we present REAL stories sent in by YOU, our amazing listeners.

It’s high time that we compile some of these bad boys so this week’s episode is a celebration of creeping each other out.  A fiesta of freaking our beans.  A jamboree of just about pissing our pants.

FIFTEEN horror stories from ten different past episodes. 

Season 2: YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TOOTH  -  Sugar, Spice & Bathroom Ghosts Twice  -  If You Got It, Haunt It

Season 3: Hot Eats, Cool Treats, Haunted by a Child  -  Clap If you Believe in the Barn!

Season 4: Beep Beep Richie  -  Ghost Haircuts & New Friends  -  100% That Witch

Season 5: Are You Happy Now?  -  A Streetcar Named WTF

 As usual, these episodes contain sound effects and music that some listeners may find jarring.  There will NOT be a sound effect/music free version of this on the patreon this time around because I don’t even think I have the original files anymore, haha.  So I apologize.

 Music featured in this episode by Vivek Abhishek, Ross Budgen, CO AG Music, and the Hadwin Channel.  

We will be back to our regularly scheduled program NEXT WEEK but in the meantime: 

Please send us YOUR strange experiences to keepitweirdpodcast@gmail.com for future episodes of scary stories.
