Requiem for a Dragon Dream

Hear Ye, Hear Ye weirdos!  Welcome to another WACKY episode of your favorite WEIRD show!  On Keep It Weird, each week we get together to talk about something strange and unusual and this week we have monsters of all shapes, sizes and species. You never know where we will go or what we will find so it's best to be extra prepared.  Grab your thickest gloves (Trust me) make sure you've got your sleep masks ready and fire retardant clothing wouldn't hurt. Lauren starts us off with a MISS FRIZZLE as we take our magical school bus into the human body to answer the question "Can humans hibernate?"  We discuss whether or not ancient man ever slept for months at a time, if there is a chance we can make it happen again, and would it be used for space travel or just for those of us who want to skip the hot sticky summer? Ashley takes us back in time for an ancient MONSTER WATCH as we discuss the existence of DRAGONS!  The legend of a dragon has existed all throughout history– within cultures who had no contact with each other.  Did they actually exist at one point?  Are they a creation shared through a collective consciousness?  Or are they just the scariest thing we can think of? Then it's time to solve a crime in a super depressing TRUE CRIME TIME where nobody dies!  But honestly, maybe it would have been better if they did.  Lauren tells the story of Carlos- a man who was held captive by his own brother and sister for over TWENTY YEARS in what we now know… is a giant bird cage. And finally we wrap it up with some immersion therapy that literally makes things worse.  A JEEPERS CREEPERS (God I hate this so much) featuring TARANTULAS.  Everything you never wanted to know about God's most creepy creature.     Check out the links below for more details on today's topics!   Human Hibernation https://www.healthline.com/health/can-humans-hibernate https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25634080-400-human-hibernation-is-a-real-possibility-this-is-how-it-might-work/   Dreaming of Dragons https://allthatsinteresting.com/dragon-legends   Birdhouse from Hell https://medium.com/true-horror-stories/boy-trapped-in-large-birdhouse-for-20-years-150c2809ade6   Terrible Tarantulas https://ansp.org/about/press-room/releases/2015/tarantulas-facts/ https://kissagator.com/blog/11-nearly-unbelievable-things-about-tarantulas/ Make sure you LIKE this video and SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel so you'll be the first to know when a new video or clip is uploaded.  FOLLOW us on social media @keepitweirdcast to partake in Medium Mondays, Tarot Tuesdays & Witchy Wednesdays.  Check out our MERCH at www.keepitweirdpodcast.com/merch.  And last but not least, please consider donating to our PATREON at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast where you will get AD FREE episodes, TWO bonus episodes a month, discounts on merch and a monthly newsletter written by your ghostesses with the mostesses.
