  Clownpocalypse 2016 S2 Ep.049

  Sep 29, 202647 min

  In this episode of That’s Effin Weird, we're going back to the infamous 2016 creepy clown craze and asking how it all started. One of the earliest widely reported incidents came from Green Bay, Wisconsin, where a mysterious clown known as "Gags" was photographed under a bridge—only for that particular appearance to later be revealed as a horror-film marketing stunt. From there, things got weird FAST. Reports spread throughout the United States, with some involving alleged attempts to frighten or lure children, while other reports turned out to be hoaxes, pranks, or unverified sightings. Police departments began receiving calls, schools issued warnings, arrests were made, and social-media rumors sometimes caused people to go searching for clowns themselves. Then the phenomenon crossed the border into Canada and eventually jumped across the Atlantic into the United Kingdom. British police reported incidents involving people dressed as clowns frightening children, while some reports involved weapons or physical confrontations. Authorities also warned that dressing as a clown to intimidate people could result in criminal charges.

  Surveillance State S2 Ep.048

  Sep 20, 20261h 9m

  In this episode of That’s Effin Weird, we take a deep dive into Flock Safety cameras, automated license plate readers, and the growing surveillance infrastructure across the United States. Flock cameras are designed to photograph vehicles and capture information such as license plates, vehicle characteristics, the time and date, and the camera's location. Flock says its system is intended to provide investigative leads for things like stolen vehicles, missing people, and criminal investigations—and says searches are restricted, logged, and controlled by the agencies that own the data. But there are bigger questions. If cameras can record where a vehicle was at a particular time and location, what happens when those records are combined across different communities and jurisdictions? Privacy advocates, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, argue that networks of automated license plate readers can create detailed records of people's movements and raise significant civil-liberties concerns. We'll look at how Flock cameras actually work, what information they collect, who can access that information, how long data can be retained, and how agencies can share information with other agencies. We'll also examine Flock's stated privacy safeguards and the concerns raised by critics about the potential for these systems to become something much larger than simply finding stolen cars.

  Alpha Male S2 Ep. 046

  Sep 9, 202657 min

  What exactly is an “Alpha Male” program, and what happens when young men are challenged to become stronger, more disciplined, and more responsible? In this episode of That’s Effin Weird, we take a closer look at Modern Day Knights, an organization focused on helping boys and young men develop confidence, leadership, discipline, accountability, and a stronger sense of purpose. We explore what these programs actually teach, why parents and participants are drawn to them, and whether the lessons being taught really translate into everyday life. We’ll also look at the bigger conversation surrounding modern masculinity, fatherhood, mentorship, and the growing popularity of programs designed to help young men find direction in a changing world. Are these programs creating stronger men—or are there deeper questions we should be asking? Join us as we take a closer look at the world of Alpha Male programs and Modern Day Knights.

  Lindsay Clancy S2 Ep.045

  Aug 30, 20261h 15m

  In this episode of That’s Effin Weird, we take a deep dive into the Lindsay Clancy trial, one of the most disturbing and closely watched criminal cases to reach a Massachusetts courtroom. Clancy is accused of killing her three young children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023, before attempting to take her own life. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. After roughly five weeks of testimony, the case has now gone to the jury. Prosecutors and the defense presented dramatically different interpretations of Clancy's mental state, the events leading up to the deaths, and what she understood at the time. The defense argues that Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis and severe mental illness, including hallucinations and delusions, and therefore should not be held criminally responsible. Prosecutors acknowledge that she suffered from mental-health problems but argue that she understood what she was doing and deliberately carried out the killings. As of this episode, the jury has not reached a verdict and is scheduled to resume deliberations Monday. ⚠️ This episode discusses the deaths of children, mental illness, suicide, and disturbing criminal allegations.

  Andrew Tate S2 Ep.043

  Aug 16, 20261h 4m

  Andrew Tate has become one of the most recognizable—and controversial—figures on the internet. But before the luxury cars, viral videos, massive following, and constant headlines, there was a young man growing up in the United States and England, influenced by a highly accomplished chess-playing father and eventually finding his own path through professional kickboxing. Tate went on to become a successful kickboxer before transitioning into reality television, online business, and eventually the world of social media. In this episode of That’s Effin Weird, we take a look at Tate's life and the journey that transformed him from a professional fighter into a global internet personality. We'll explore his time on Big Brother UK, his rise through online businesses and social media, his views on masculinity and relationships, and why his content has attracted such a huge—and often young—audience. But there's another side to the story. Tate has faced years of criticism over statements about women and has been banned from several major social-media platforms. He and his brother Tristan have also faced serious criminal allegations and legal proceedings in Romania and the United Kingdom. Both brothers deny wrongdoing, and the legal cases remain an important part of the story surrounding Tate. So who is the real Andrew Tate? Motivational entrepreneur? Professional fighter? Internet provocateur? Controversial influencer? Or something more complicated?
