KEEP CALM & Do the DEW

Do the Dew, weirdos!   Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, mysterious and maddening, freaky and "freakay" and everything in between.     Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week is DOLPHIN FREE!!    The gals start off with some current events as they discuss HBO's "Hollywood Demons" series and share their opinions on the Blue Origin all female space flight that took place earlier this month.  Spoiler: We're not impressed.   Then Ashley takes us into some CONSPIRACY THEORIES involving our favorite alphabet overlords-- the NSA and the CIA.  First on the chopping block is the NSA and their involvement with 33 Thomas St NYC New York-- supposedly just a simple AT&T building until Edward Snowden leaked highly classified information back in 2014.  After some pretty simple math it was discovered that that enormous spooky building was actually the largest NSA surveillance building on United States soil.  Codename: TITANPOINTE.    If you think AT&T being in cahoots with the NSA is bad... wait until you hear about Pepsi's connection to the CIA.  Because next we discuss the conspiracy theory that MOUNTAIN DEW releases its new wacky flavors right before major disasters.  Why, you ask? Well... that's... not an easy question to answer.  But we sure try.   Finally Lauren takes us into a REALITY TV CORNER and teaches us about an epic fail of a reality tv show called "Eden."  It's also called "Eden: Paradise Lost" for a very dumb reason.  Actually almost everything about this show was dumb, especially the part where they took it off the air and FORGOT TO TELL THE CAST AND CREW.   Check out some LINKS below if you want to do some extra reading on today's topics.   JOIN OUR PATREON at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast for TWO BONUS EPISODES every month, discounts on merch, a chance to sponsor a segment and free TAROT CARD readings!   FOLLOW US on social media @keepitweirdcast   SUBSCRIBE to our channel www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast   SPY HUB NYC https://theintercept.com/2016/11/16/the-nsas-spy-hub-in-new-york-hidden-in-plain-sight/ https://www.atomic-ranch.com/retro-road-trip/33-thomas-street/ https://nypost.com/2023/10/05/what-its-inside-at-33-thomas-street-nycs-mystery-spy-hub/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street   DO THE DEW IF YOU DARE https://ksisradio.com/ixp/341/p/new-mountain-dew-flavor-conspiracy-theory/ https://www.theguardian.com/Columnists/Column/0,,305870,00.html https://www.theguardian.com/business/1998/nov/08/observerbusiness.theobserver https://www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1193755188/chile-coup-50-years-pinochet-kissinger-human-rights-allende   NOT QUITE PARADISE https://collider.com/eden-reality-tv-show/ https://lethbridgenewsnow.com/2021/07/12/eden-the-survival-show-that-didnt-tell-contestants-it-was-canceled/
