WEIRD REPORT: WAYMO THAN WE BARGAINED FO (PATREON)

Please enjoy the first 20ish minutes of this month's WEIRD REPORT! You can listen to the full episode by joining our patreon at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast Hello Beardos, Weirdos, Teardos AND Feardos and welcome to your May 2026 WEIRD REPORT!! Every month we break down the previous 30 or so days worth of STRANGE NEWS headlines, TRUE CRIME updates and HORROR ENTERTAINMENT announcements as we chit chat and share some spooky stories! 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'm going to be moving the Weird Report to the MAIN POD because I think it's a great way to stay in the know on what weird things are happening in the world - so the main feed will feature a surprise guest episode and a weird report every month while the Patreon episodes are going to be MORE LIKE the main feed eps and will all be an hour long. 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! As usual you can scroll to get the links for all the news stories we shared this week if you want to do any further reading. Very excited to be coming back to you FULL TIME this June and hope that this new era of KIW is fun and refreshing and as WEIRD as ever! -\/\/ https://www.npr.org/2026/05/24/nx-s1-5833165/california-chemical-tank-malfunction-leak-explode-emergency-evacuate https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/pastors-warned-ufo-files-may-challenge-biblical-beliefs/gm-GM552E9F35 https://premierchristian.news/us/news/article/pastor-apologises-after-claiming-congressman-said-aliens-invented-christianity https://apnews.com/article/joey-chestnut-competitive-eating-battery-probation-3f0851422f470e5c4a25d9843e9f38ec https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/atlanta/empty-waymos-invade-atlanta-neighborhood-circle-cul-de-sac-hours-with-no-passengers/CSNV2G5CZFHHFP6BOH6YF5RCFU/ https://www.zmescience.com/medicine/scientists-may-have-found-w https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/articles/clyp37py7mqo https://san.com/cc/is-the-apocalypse-now-one-man-is-tracking-flights-by-the-rich-to-find-out/? https://montrealgazette.com/news/montreal-strippers-plan-walkout-for-f1-weekend/ https://swedenherald.com/article/teenager-stole-bus-and-drove-over-300-kilometers-again https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15811911/Alabama-woman-shot-killed-husband-annoying.html https://www.mensjournal.com/news/former-child-kidnapping-victim-elizabeth-smart-makes-wild-pivot-into-competitive-bodybuilding
