Welcome to If it's Twisted, the podcast that was birthed from one southern gal's love of all things spooky, ooky, cooky, and downright disturbing. Nothing's too taboo, so if you have a weak constitution, get ready to squirm. Goosebumps, noodly spines, and nightmares. Gather the children and let's ge…
What do a banana, a goldfish, and period blood all have in common? Guess you'll have to listen to find out. Also, a warning. This one is LONG. Feel free to listen to it all at once, or a little at a time. The choice is yours. Second, Taylor's voice changes about halfway through. The gods only know why, but it was definitely a technical error. Unless everyone is lying to her and she really does sound like that. We debated on re-recording or shelving this episode entirely, but at the end of the day, the content was just too good. So, you get to hear it. Sit back and enjoy the weirdness! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ifitstwisted/support
Back in the day, the Bell Witch was as famous as Beyonce. Even garnering the attention of a future president. In this episode, Taylor, Jared, and JD discuss their own paranormal interactions, the infinite possibilities of the universe, and what happens after you die. Obviously, they're the experts. No one is sure exactly how paranormal scenarios occur, but they're not ready to rule them out as real. It's best to listen to this episode alone at night.
In this episode, Taylor and Trey discuss Trey's chemical burns, shaving mishaps, and the infamous case of JonBenet Ramsey. As always, Taylor has the facts and Trey has opinions. Join them as they speculate wildly and come so close to solving the case they can feel the tiara in their clutches.
In this episode, Taylor and Melissa represent their home state of Alabama, discussing Rhonda Bell Martin and Nannie Doss. Two genteel southern housewives with a habit of adding a little something extra to their homemade prune cakes and fried chicken. And no, it wasn't love. Or garlic powder. While not reading their romance novels, these two women were busy killin' folks left and right, collecting modest sums of insurance money before moving on to the next available bachelor.
Since the beginning of time, women have been tasked with nourishing the family and providing food. Sometimes, they had to get a little creative. One woman, Klara Mauerova, got it backwards, and instead of feeding her family, well... you'll just have to listen to find out. As you're listening, ask yourself this question: have you ever wondered where your BBQ came from?
Whooooooooo this one's a doozy. Taylor and Professor Miller discuss something that makes EVERYONE uncomfortable: genital mutilation. You read that right, folks. From Africa to America, they discuss the risks and rituals of circumcision and genital cutting. Is it really more hygienic to have a beardless wiener? Or is it just cuter that way? CONTENT WARNING: THIS EPISODE DISCUSSES GRAPHIC ABUSE OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS.
Taylor and Trey are back! This time, they've drug Trey's sister Kailee along for the ride! As usual, Trey only vaguely followed the prompt, and there are definitely random bursts of singing. Chatting about family values, supportive parents, and the sturdy stock from which they're built, Taylor, Trey, and Kailee take you back in time to when Ulysses S. Grant was president and the Bloody Benders terrorized the nation. Well, terrorized a small town in Kansas, at least. Trey talks about a group of men who called themselves family, and Kailee tells of two sisters who ran the world's worst brothel. After all, the family that slays together, stays together.
In this episode, Taylor and Trey can't stay on topic to save their lives. Trey's suggestion of discussing women who kill their abusers went flying out the window when he chose to cover the story of the infamous Evelyn Dick, a woman who had more men than Imelda Marcos had shoes. Taylor, however, chose a topic to fit the prompt, and discusses Brigitte Harris. A true heroine of the people. Honestly, both stories were chosen so they could say the word "dick" a LOT. But really, are you surprised?
Happy Pride one and all! And what better way to celebrate the LGBT community than talking about our killer queen Aileen and sexy leather daddy Patrick Kearney. Taylor and Katie give a call to action for the lesbians of the world, and as usual, burst into song at the most random times. This episode is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Pulse shooting, as well as anyone who lost their life because of who they loved. If it's Twisted will always be a safe zone for those who need it.
In this episode, Taylor and Jared discuss doomsdayers John Hagee and William Tapley, aka the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse. Are they on the crazy train, or do they know something we don't? Seals riding horses, Zombie Prince's Thousand Year Purple Reign, Satan's AOL dial-up, basil prayers, and the descent of Christian cinema. Climb aboard, it's a wild ride.
On episode 2, Taylor and Jakey are serving up some fresh nipples and sautéed wieners as they discuss cannibal killers Andre Chikatilo and Armin Meiwis. Vodka and chill with the relaxing sounds of blood gurgling from knife wounds as you enjoy the Armin Meiwis Cooking Show.
In this first episode, Taylor and Katie discuss the famed Sloss Furnace and Bryce Hospital. With absolutely no evidence, they solve century old deaths, debate if they'd rather be chopped up or crushed to death, and in a turn that shocks no one, get off topic and start telling their own paranormal stories.
