Weird But Wonderful
A journey into the minds of strange people doing strange things. The go-to podcast for people behaving badly.
Death By Selfie
The podcast that delivers you people behaving badly—we dive deep into the minds of strange people doing strange things. On this episode, we dig deep into "the currency of today", which apparently isn't crypto - it's selfies.  A recent study suggests that heavy selfie-taking and posting are closely associated with narcissism and psychopathology. These "selfie-related behaviours" also result in selfie-related traumatic risks, which can cause serious injury and deaths.  So how exactly are selfies causing a rise in deaths and serious injury, particularly among teenagers?   The Socials Instagram Facebook Twitter

The One Where I Expose My Soul
Let's get real for a hot wet second. Falling and/or injuring yourself in front of a crush or even just strangers is the most soul-crushing experience a human can endure. Now you add onto it the "I'm cool" or "I meant to do that" and you're in a whole different ballpark. -- SUPPORT THE SHOW: patreon.com/oneweirdpodcast LISTEN On The Podcast Platform Of Your Choice: https://linktr.ee/weirdbutwonderful -- THE SOCIALS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneweirdpod...

The Great Snack Debate
At times like these, we should be coming together. We should be unifying. But the great snack debate waits for no man or woman. Friendships, families, colleagues - all torn apart by the divisive nature of the great snack debate. But at some point, we must draw a line in the sand and pick a side. Do you stock? Or are you premeditated? Vote on the poll here: https://www.strawpoll.me/20151763 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/p1-Z8JBxO28 --- 1st Question: My gf should dress like my brother's gf 2nd Question: Best friend realtor forcing me to use them Patreon Question (which ended up being too divisive to not ask every listener) My partner and I live together and have for the past two years. We both really enjoy snacks (who doesn't?). Now I know this sounds petty, and it probably is but I need to know. Whenever I buy food, be it snacks or regular food, he eats the majority of it without thinking. I'll confront him and he says he'll replace it but he rarely actually does. I get really upset because I was really looking forward to eating something and when I get to it, it's gone! I've tried to talk to him about this but he never really stops? Am I the asshole for saying no and refusing to share my snacks for the first time in two years? --- Shout out to our Producer: Sam!
