We'll be on hiatus until September ya'll, sorry for the delay! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitcurious/support

This week we cover some Mesoamerican gods including Quetzalcoatl (The Precious Twin), his unfortunate brother Xolotl (the pychopup...er sorry... psychoPOMP) and his ally Tlaloc. We'll tunnel below some India Jones-worthy temples filled with treasures, discover Meredith's passionate desire to scubadive in sinkholes for murder weapons, and learn the overly dramatic way in which the Aztec gods created humanity and the earth itself. We will also be going on hiatus for at least the month of July while we get our feet under us, but if you check our instagram you'll find amazing art and updates!

Welcome to episode 30! This week we're talking about Kelsey & Meredith's misadventures in bicycling, but more importantly the Nazca lines, and our favorite: Ancient Alien Shit. We'll be speculating on how these gigantic geoglyphs were so consistent aesthetically, but also why they were created. We'll touch on everything archeological as well as astronomy, underground water systems, rituals to the gods, The Lady of the Lines, and more.

Trigger Warning - Violence Welcome to this week's episode on the Men In Black, featuring Meredith as “Fox-Spice”! We're getting into the research and publications of Gray Barker & Co., naming prodigies of their time. Anyone else want their badge for the International Flying Saucer Bureau? We sure do. Also can we submit our episode for publication in the Saucer Shmear? K, cool. It's another wild ride this week, with dematerializing pennies, New Jersey's personal UFO research facility, and the questionable legacy of some renowned UFO researchers.

Trigger warning : violence This episode we're jumping right into it - the history of invisible ink! But don't miss our preamble where we learn things we probably should've already known about sheep. Then we're diving into the Revolutionary War's Culper Spy Ring, WWII's worst spies, mummified pocket-lemons, and the wildly detailed process of revealing invisible correspondence. We've got cats craving violence, a little blood magic between spies, and code name: Parmesan stealing from casinos. Tune on in!

Trigger warning : Suicide, Violence Hey Aristagoras , can you incite a revolt for me, Love, H. This week, we're leading off with the beautiful visual of Meredith at her fireside, smoking a bubble pipe - the only way she is to be pictured from now on. From there, we're covering steganography and cryptography, it's differences, and examples from history. Shaved heads, specifically-patterned grills, quilting, the Navajo Code Talkers, chess, lemon juice, knitting - we've got it all! So listen in as we introduce the Google Gander (™ ™ ™), discuss war time communications, and Gretchen Wiener's secret-filled hair.

Trigger Warning: Descriptions of Violence Welcome to our episode, featuring possibly the only realistic Tom Cruise movie to exist. But after that, this week's episode is all about eternal flames! Join us, while Meredith takes us to some of the most interesting locations of natural phenomena in the world. Sniff out these natural gas seepages with us, resulting in au naturale fire, one of which Kelsey was lucky enough to see in real life! We've also found the Gates of Hell, and so did the world's spider's, aka the Spawn of Satan, who are now heading home to daddy. Not to mention, the man who has been to a part of Earth that has seen fewer explorers than the moon. If you get a chance to excursion to any of these places, remember to pack in and pack out!

Fill up your hip flasks as we recount and reflect on the death of John Barleycorn - what a wild night it must have been in the hours before Prohibition went into effect! We hope you've seen your man about a dog in time for us to fill you in on the underdog, master of disguise revenue agents that everyone loved to hate, and hated to love.

Don't cast a kitten! We're back this week with some wild and wacky 1920's slang. So come rest your dogs with us, but watch those slooty ankles, kids. These Disney princess bearcats are here to mind our potatoes (but never our own beeswax), or maybe just the potatoes over at the commune. Join us while we wonder, who is Jake, and why is he the exemplary human for all things copacetic? Pour yourself a glass of giggle water or coffin varnish, maybe get a little splifficated if you so choose. But if you need to iron your shoelaces, be sure to hit pause so you don't miss a second of us bumping gums, because Meredith is extra unfiltered this week, much to Kelsey's horror. Don't ankle until the end, and let's bring these phrases back into everyday chatter!

Astral project with us and our sassy necks for our lightly modified intro, and the most impressive impression of Moaning Myrtle, courtesy of Meredith. This week we're covering part 2 of Omm Sety, featuring Egyptian spirituality and a love story that lasted, literally, through multiple lifetimes. We're talking the creative feminine power of Isis, Sia & the wise chandelier-swinger, Heka, and the true purpose of temple murals. Tune up your vocal vibrations and let's make some magic while we debate how gross cartoon vs. real life mummies are - either way, I think we can agree, they just don't make ‘em like that anymore!

Trigger Warning: Suicide This episode we're talking about the early years & professional life of Dorothy Eady AKA Bentreshyt AKA Omm Sety. Also, does anyone else find the word “mummy” and “ravishing” in the same sentence disturbing? Yes? This week we're covering the wild reincarnation story of Omm Sety, and learning unfortunate new phrases like “eating the uncooked goose”. Let's join Dorothy's sleepovers in Egyptian pyramids, so grab your sleeping bag, dog vitamins and your hieroglyphic translation book, and we'll begin our love letter to Omm Sety.

Move aside Neil Caffrey, and Akon, please write in. It's time to talk about wine heists - it's not a get rich quick scheme, kids, it's a don't get caught scheme. Pour yourself a glass of non-forged (hopefully) wine or a jug of CVS sangria, and listen while Kelsey talks about a Christmas Night wine heist in the Bay Area, $1,000 dinner plans, and Meredith's dream job with the FBI Wine-Crime division (okay, okay, maybe that division doesn't quite exist...but it should).

Blood tea, anyone? Come get subcultural with us this week and hear about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the modern day, true vampire. We're not talking pop culture Dracula or sparkly Edward Cullens, but oddly enough we are talking Taylor Lautner. We're chatting energy work, blood cake, hematomania, and how nothing beats a teaspoon of fresh blood. It's a wild world out there.

Someone give us a cool adjective, damn it. This week we're going Down Under with the rogues and vagabonds to chat about some weird Australian history. Travel with us through space and time, to a century when lonely travelers may encounter bridge trolls, *gasp*, and where dressing up as ghosts and scaring people on the street was a novel pastime. Put on your sugarloaf hat and white sheets, and get ready for this maybe not so century-specific activity. And watch out for your local upstanding citizens, kids.

Come trans-migrate with us this episode as Meredith takes us through the concepts of Reincarnation & Past-Life Regression. You're in for a wild ride this week full of shockingly honest kiddos, hobbies for 20-somethings who may as well be 90 years old, and some crazy Horcrux shit. Come talk a little science, have a little story time, and listen to a whole lot of Kelsey and Meredith being semi-skeptical and freakishly excited about this topic.

Can we take a minute to absorb the idea that at one point, people didn't know what a bagel even was?
