No Holds Barred New Years Special

Well, we have managed to finally put 2024 to bed, yet we live only to face a new nightmare...2025.  So, your favorite weirdos are coming at you with a very laid back, unscripted and unplanned, no holds barred special, where we let our random nonsense lead the way. We close out 2024 by asking the important questions like is water smart? How much is "a lot" when it comes to poaching eggs?  We go into our thoughts on Kody Brown, look into some smut(with a sample reading by JD!) As well as discuss the difference between polyamory and polygamy.  We're all over the place on this one, so if your brain is fried already going into the new year, let our nonsense be a port in that mental storm!

Beyond Weird | Year End Leftovers

It is that strange, surreal time of year, between Christmas and New Years that just seems totally off.  Time means nothing.  The rules are at their most flexible.  Never a better time for a Beyond Weird episode.  Bloopers and bits from the cutting room floor, these are some of the conversations that didn't make the cut, a perfect helping of randomness during this weird time of year.

Krampus is Coming to Town

Kick back with us as we dive into the dark, mischievous legend of Krampus, the festive anti-Santa who’s been terrifying naughty kids for centuries. In this laid-back episode, we explore the roots of this horned holiday icon, from Alpine folklore to his modern-day resurgence in pop culture. Whether you’re sipping eggnog or hiding from Krampus’ switch, join us for a chill conversation full of lore, laughs, and a few surprises. You’ll never look at December the same way again.

Yule Be Surprised | The Origins of Christmas

In this episode, your favorite weirdos dive into the ancient origins of Christmas traditions and uncover the surprising ways pagan festivals influenced the holiday we know today.  From the feasts of Saturnalia in Rome to the Norse celebration of Yule, we explore the rituals, symbols, and festivities that shaped modern Christmas customs. Why do we decorate trees, exchange gifts, or celebrate with feasts?  Join us as we trace these traditions back to their roots and reveal how they were adapted into Christian practices over centuries. Whether you’re a history buff, a holiday enthusiast, or just as fed up with the holidays as our own resident Grinch, Ashley, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the season of joy.
