Amy Hanselmann is back on the mic this week and we're talking everything from competitive eating to self driving cars. And this will be the LAST episode of the Weird Report that is going to be Patreon only.

I do want YOUR INPUT on what you'd like your patreon content to be-- if you want more Ask Me Everything, Spooky internet stories with Amy, if you want more experiments with bibliomancy, if you want more Keep It Teared with Lauren and Julia-- LET US KNOW!

  No, Woman, No Cap Fam: A Patreon Clip 23.05.2026 18Min.

  This is the first 15 minutes of our latest Patreon episode which you can join at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast!   As Bob Marley always said... No, Woman, No Cap FAM. Welcome to another edition of ASK ME EVERYTHING where Handsome Joe and I sit down to answer questions sent in by YOU, our lovely listeners - we tell stories, we shoot the shit, and we genuinely have a good time doing it. This week we answered: What is the fastest way you've seen a coworker get fired? Assuming athletes would be nude in the modern Olympics like they were in ancient greece, which event would be the worst to watch? You are teleported back to 2001 terminator style and end up in the middle of times square. What do you do or say to convince people you aren't on drugs? If you could choose anyone alive or dead OR EVEN fictional to be the next President of the United States who would you choose and why?   We also chatted about UFO disclosure, loving & hating Gen Z, historical knowledge and Joe even tries to test my military knowledge and we ALL know how I feel about that. IF YOU EVER WANT TO SUBMIT A QUESTION FOR ASK ME EVERYTHING PLEASE DO! We'd love to do more of these this year but we can't record one without questions sent in BY YOU so you can comment on the episodes with questions, you can DM us here with questions and you can even email us at [email protected] with the Subject "ASK ME EVERYTHING" I'll be back with you in a couple weeks with your May WEIRD REPORT! I hope you're having the absolute best warm up to Summer EVER! -\/\/

  The Future is Female, Weirdos! And here we are, bringing you THE FUTURE!! Well, stories from the past to hopefully inspire your future. TW: foul language, hoarding, kidnapping, violence Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD!  The podcast for all things strange and unusual, girly & ghoulish, frightningly feminist, Double X Chromosomed & everything in between! Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week we get to do that with one of our all time favorite recurring guests.  Your Weird Report cohost AMY HANSELMANN is here to rage against the man-chine with us! Oh yes it's LADIES NIGHT here on the weird cast and we're looking at some historical women who SHOULD be mega famous but instead are lucky to even be footnotes in our history books.  Why?  BECAUSE THE PATRIARCHY. Lauren starts us off with ANNIE JUMP CANNON - an American astronomer who catalogued over 350,000 stars and whose work was instrumental in the development of the stellar classification system that we still use today!  A member of the Harvard Computers, a suffragette and a member of the National Women's Party-- Annie was a CHAMP Next up Amy guides us through the many lives of MARION STOKES- a television producer, businesswoman, MACINTOSH investor, civil rights activist, librarian and archivist who yeah, sure, may have had an obsession that got out of control when she started recording and archiving hundreds of THOUSANDS of hours of television news footage spanning over 35 years and taking up several apartments worth of space...... but we love her for it. And Ashley brings us home with the story of the FORTY ELEPHANTS - an all-female London crime syndicate who terrorized the UK for multiple centuries specializing in SHOPLIFTING.  They used the class and sex stereotypes of their day to their advantage, sewing secret compartments into their layers and layers of clothing, crossdressing, manipulating, blackmailing and even full on mugging to steal millions of dollars worth of goods from THE MAN. Join us in celebrating these incredible women from history's pass who all left their mark on our world, as faded as it may be.  We salute you, ladies!
