    Weird Laws Pt 1 (Re-release)

    (Re-Release!) Your two favorite hosts take turns laughing hysterically at some weird laws in their home states, as well exploring a few strange laws in other US states. Update on the dog catcher law in CO, they don't actually serve the notice to the dog, they just have to post a notice of their intent to impound the dog including a picture at the animal shelter for at least 3 days before they can actually impound the dog. But it sure would make it even more funny if they were out there notifying the dogs. If you have any paranormal, UFO, or cryptid stories or would just like to share some strange facts please send us an email at whataboutweirdpod@gmail.com Thank you!

    Superstitions with Greg and Dan

    You better go knock on wood and hope we don't jinx you because this week we are talking about superstitions. Our lovely friends of the podcast Greg's Cryptid Corner join us for a fascinating discussion about the deeper meaning behind superstitions. We play a round of hoax or believe the folks, discuss some personal superstitions, and talk a fair amount about mental health and how it relates to superstition. We learn about the etymology of the word superstition, living with OCD and how it may relate, and how to help your favorite sports team win.WARNING do not test stepping on a crack to break your mother's back, she won't be very happy if it works Go show some love to Greg's Cryptid Corner wherever you listen to podcasts!

    The Green Children of Woolpit

    This week we go back in time to discuss the case of the green children of Woolpit. We learn about the town, wolf pits, medical history, and two kids who really love beans. Was it just a folk story? Or is it a historic event explained by medical science? Could they have been fae? Or maybe they were beings from a Christian town in Hollow Earth... Take a shot every time we say crotch goblin in the first 10 minutes (warning: you may get alcohol poisoning).
