Zodiac Series - Leo

It’s Leo season, and we’re flipping the script! In this episode of That Was Weird, host Rachel steps out of the interviewer chair and into the hot seat as her friend Savannah grills her on what it really means to be a Leo. From childhood power moves to adult Leo tendencies (hello, main character energy), we dig into the sunniest, loudest, most loyal sign of the zodiac. We discuss pride, presence, and the fine line between confidence and arrogance. Plus: a Leo vs. Leo showdown between Rachel and her 10-year-old daughter — because one lion in the house is never enough. 🦁🦁 Get ready for fiery vibes, unexpected introspection, and at least one dramatic confession.

Zodiac Series - Cancer

Crabs & Lions: Cancer + Leo in the Wild What happens when a fiery Leo and a deeply feeling Cancer sit down to unpack their signs? In this episode, Rachel and Addison explore what it really means to be a Cancer — from their protective instincts to their cozy, nurturing vibes — and dive into how Cancer energy shows up in everyday life. We’ll get into the mythology, fun facts, and personality traits of Cancer, then put Addison in the hot seat with ten Cancer-themed questions ranging from silly to surprisingly deep. Finally, we’ll debate the ultimate question: should Cancers and Leos even be friends? Plus, don’t miss the shoutout for the grand opening of Best Budz, your new favorite vintage clothing spot in Livermore, CA. Hit play and join us for another weird, wonderful conversation!

Zodiac Series - Gemini

Twice the Fun, Twice the Chaos: Understanding the Gemini (with Giulianna) This week on That Was Weird, Rachel is joined by one of her real-life besties — the quick-witted, deeply curious, and chaotically delightful Gemini, Giulianna. Together, they dive into the twin-flavored world of Gemini energy: what it means to live with duality, how Mercury rules the group chat, and why Gemini gets such a bad rap. We talk astrology, identity, attention spans, and whether Leos and Geminis are destined to be besties or burn each other out. Plus: 10 very Gemini questions, a friendship compatibility showdown, and the moment Rachel knew this friendship was going to be weird in the best way. Follow us on IG @thatwasweirdpod

Zodiac Series - Taurus

In this episode of That Was Weird, Rachel sits down with her husband Jason Kleist to figure out what makes a Taurus tick — and how on earth a Taurus ended up married to a Leo for 13 years. They’ll talk bulls, astrology myths, strange habits, petty grudges, and whether astrology can explain their most ridiculous fights. Is Taurus really the most grounded sign, or just the most stubborn? Are they loyal… or just impossible to get rid of? One thing’s for sure: it’s weird, honest, and might reveal more than either of them planned. Follow us on IG @thatwasweirdpod

Zodiac Series - Aries

🔥 In this episode of That Was Weird, we’re diving headfirst into the bold, chaotic brilliance of Aries season with our guest Apple—an unapologetic Aries through and through. We talk myth, personality traits, impulsive decisions, and whether an Aries and a Leo (hi, that’s me) could ever survive working together in a bakery. It’s spicy, it’s honest, and it’s a little unhinged—in true Aries fashion. Follow us on IG at @thatwasweirdpod

Zodiac Series - Pisces

"Pisces: Dreamers, Feelers, or Just Really Good at Ghosting?" Pisces—sweet, mysterious, and maybe a little emotionally overwhelming. In this episode, I sit down with Jesse, a real-life Pisces, to unpack the truth about this water sign. Do they really absorb everyone’s emotions? Why do they disappear for weeks at a time? And most importantly—can a Leo (me) and a Pisces (Jesse) actually be friends? We’ll talk Pisces traits, Midieval Times, Owls and other topics you'd likely not be able to predict. Get ready for deep feelings, existential spirals, and maybe a little roasting. 🎙️♓🔥 Follow us on IG @thatwasweirdpod

Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day might be known for love and romance, but there’s a weird, dark, and downright ridiculous side to this holiday that no one talks about. In this episode, we dive into the surprisingly bizarre history of Valentine’s Day, unravel the myth of Cupid (turns out, he's not as innocent as he looks), and share hilarious and cringeworthy Valentine’s Day fails—from awkward gifts to disastrous dates. Then, we explore the darker side of February 14th, including the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, ruthless “Vinegar Valentines,” modern romance scams, and the relationship pressures that cause a breakup spike. Is Valentine’s Day really about love, or is it just a strange mix of tradition, capitalism, and chaos? Let’s get weird. 💘💀 Find us on IG @thatwasweirdpod

Zodiac Series - Aquarius

Welcome to this episode of That Was Weird, where we dive into the eccentric and visionary world of Aquarius! Known as the free-spirited rebels of the zodiac, Aquarians are all about innovation, independence, and making the world a better place. Today, I’m joined by my friend Jess, a true Aquarius born on February 1, to talk about what it’s really like to live with the Water-Bearer’s energy. We’ll explore this fascinating sign's quirks, strengths, and challenges, discuss whether Leos and Aquarians make great friends, and uncover what makes Jess tick as a proud Aquarius. Let’s get weird!
