We'll See You Soon! <3

Hey Weirdos! Thanks for keeping it weird with us these past 9 months. We're taking a short break, but we hope to see you again very soon! In the meantime, be sure to keep it EXTRA weird.

Mini Weird 19: So you be bangin’ huh?

In this week’s mini episode, Haley and Harmony start off with the Mini-Weird episode exclusive Headline-A-Thon, with topics ranging from a highway mozzarella mishap to inflatable crocodiles protesting a wedding. Then, Haley shares the survivor story of a lifeguard who was impaled by a beach umbrella, and Harmony shares the eerie story of a hiker who watched his son fall from a 120-foot cliff. And Haley closes out the episode with a Cutie Pie Corner featuring some naughty bears!

19: Listener Stories!

It’s time to read some very weird listener stories! A phantom horse haunts England’s cliffs. A dead grandma calls from her grave. A stained‑glass vase explodes with no warning. A house’s intercom squawks by itself. A DOT crew has a front row seat to a crime scene unfolding. And a silent, slate‑gray triangle UAP hovers over the Adirondacks. This episode of the podcast goes from goosebumps to jaw‑drops in minutes. Thank you to all our wonderful listeners for writing in! <3

18: The Pride Episode!

In this unapologetically queer and delightfully informative Pride special, Harmony and Haley dive headfirst into the weirdest (and gayest) rabbit holes imaginable. Discover the story of Dr. Evelyn Hooker, the badass psychologist who proved homosexuality wasn't a mental illness. Trace the wild, ancient, and surprisingly well-documented history of strap-ons, from carved rocks to 1960s puppeteers. And yes, we go there—Greek dildos, lesbian carabiners, and horny Neanderthals. It’s unfiltered, it’s chaotic, it’s hilarious—and it’s a big gay celebration of queer history, weird facts, and sex-positive storytelling.
