  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?

  The Sodder Children S2 Ep.042

  Aug 9, 20261h 17m

  On Christmas Eve, 1945, tragedy struck the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia, when a fire destroyed their house. Five of the Sodder children were believed to have died in the blaze—but what happened afterward would turn the case into one of America's most enduring mysteries. The family never accepted the official explanation that the children had simply perished in the fire. Questions surrounding the lack of recovered remains, reports of suspicious activity around the home, a telephone line that had been cut, and strange events surrounding the fire fueled decades of speculation. The Sodders eventually placed a billboard along a highway asking whether their missing children were still alive, keeping their search in the public eye for years. In this episode of That’s Effin Weird, we dig into the timeline of the Christmas Eve fire, the investigation, the evidence that raised questions, and the theories that developed around the children's disappearance. Were the children victims of a tragic fire, or was something much more mysterious happening that night? Decades later, the Sodder children remain at the center of one of America's strangest missing-person mysteries. What do you think happened to the Sodder children?

  Gary Webb S2 Ep.41

  Aug 2, 202658 min

  In this compelling episode of That's Effin Weird, host Stevenson explores the life and legacy of investigative journalist Gary Webb, whose reporting sparked one of the most controversial media stories of the 1990s. Best known for his Dark Alliance series, Webb investigated allegations that individuals connected to the CIA-backed Contra movement in Nicaragua played a role in the spread of crack cocaine in the United States. His work ignited national debate, drew widespread criticism from major news organizations, and fueled ongoing discussions about government oversight, investigative journalism, and public trust. Join Stevenson as he examines the evidence behind Webb's reporting, the intense backlash that followed, and the lasting impact his work had on journalism and conspiracy culture. We'll discuss what subsequent government investigations concluded, why the story remains controversial decades later, and how Gary Webb's career—and tragic death in 2004—continue to inspire questions about accountability, the role of the press, and the pursuit of difficult stories. Whether you're interested in investigative reporting, modern history, or enduring mysteries, this episode takes a balanced look at one of journalism's most debated figures and invites listeners to examine the facts and decide for themselves.

  5G Conspiracy Part II S2 Ep.40

  Jul 27, 20261h 5m

  The conversation isn't over! In Part 2 of our deep dive into the 5G conspiracy, host Stevenson returns to explore one of the internet's most controversial and misunderstood topics. From claims of government surveillance and mind control to concerns about health effects and smart cities, we're taking another look at the theories that continue to spark debate around the world. This episode examines where these ideas originated, how social media helped them spread, and why some people remain convinced there's more to the story. We'll also discuss real technological developments surrounding 5G networks, the role of misinformation, and why it's important to distinguish between evidence-based concerns and unsupported claims. Along the way, we'll revisit some of the biggest questions listeners have sent us, explore lesser-known theories connected to 5G, AI, and the Internet of Things, and discuss why conspiracy theories often thrive during periods of rapid technological change. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or simply fascinated by the strange stories surrounding emerging technology, this episode is designed to encourage critical thinking and open discussion—not tell you what to believe.

  Cellphone Listening S2 Ep.39 feat. Gary

  Jul 12, 20261h 11m

  Have you ever mentioned a product in conversation, only to see an ad for it a few minutes later? Coincidence... or is your phone listening? In this thought-provoking episode of That's Effin Weird, host Stevenson dives into one of the internet's most enduring modern conspiracies: the belief that our smartphones are secretly recording our conversations to serve targeted advertisements. We'll explore why so many people are convinced their devices are eavesdropping, what privacy experts and technology companies say about microphone access, and how apps collect enormous amounts of data—even without actively listening. Is it your microphone, sophisticated algorithms predicting your interests, or something even more surprising? Along the way, we'll examine real-world examples, psychological factors like confirmation bias, and the technology behind today's personalized advertising. From smart assistants and app permissions to data brokers, location tracking, and digital footprints, this episode asks an important question: How much does your phone actually know about you? Whether you believe it's all just clever marketing or you're convinced Big Tech knows more than it admits, this episode will leave you questioning the tiny computer you carry in your pocket every day. Tune in as That's Effin Weird separates documented technology from speculation and explores one of the most talked-about privacy mysteries of the digital age. Is your phone really listening... or is it simply predicting you better than you know yourself?
