Wickedly Weird with Jerry & Amanda is a two-voice comedy show built around strange stories, and the stories are only half of it. Jerry brings the material. Amanda takes it in without a preview, and the show lives in what the two of them do with it next. Subjects run from the unexplained to the criminal to the merely odd, as titles like 'Wickedly Weird Ep 40 Nina Kulagina', 'Wickedly Weird Ep 38 The Shark Arm Case' and 'Wickedly Weird Ep 37 Coincidence' suggest. The Kulagina conversation works through claims that she could name the page someone was reading and copy drawings made in another room. Along the way it snags on thread: if she could tell colors apart, did she use her own bag or random thread off a shelf? That kind of interruption is the house style. In the Shark Arm material, a boat-building business fronts for drug smuggling and insurance scams, and a man questioned by police shoots himself on a speedboat and survives, which sets off a riff on what 'a little wounded' could possibly mean. One coincidence goes back to a high-stakes poker game in 1858, with a detour through saloon doors on the way. The detours take up real room. One cold open covers a day in Salem: a Hocus Pocus tour, a French bakery, the Witch Dungeon Museum and a friend's psychic, who did not impress. Another episode features a plan to spend a day in a mushroom costume and demand kindness, plus a half-read article about a mushroom that might bring things back to life. The Halloween special, which Jerry admits he had not originally planned, moves from something once kept in a flood-damaged bathroom and now under museum glass to a fear of funeral homes and cold hands in caskets. Films get their turn as well: flying monkeys, musicals, and enough Beetlejuice talk, Jeffrey Jones included, that one of them declares being 'Beetlejuiced out'. Because they record well ahead, an episode taped just after Halloween signs off with Christmas wishes. Even the introductions can be a bit, with the two answering to Freddy Krueger and Keyboard in one episode and Shaquille O'Neal and the basketball in another. A special bonus, 'Wickedly Weird Q&A with Special Guests', brings listeners onto the show live to ask questions, with nothing off limits, 'within reason'. First up is Brett, host of the Evil Never Dies podcast, who has listened since the Warning! You Will Be Offended! days. The language gets salty, the jokes about death get morbid, and at least one practical aside slips in: a tip for keeping food cold inside a washing machine. For the crime side, start with 'Wickedly Weird Ep 38 The Shark Arm Case'; for the uncanny, 'Wickedly Weird Ep 40 Nina Kulagina'.
Made for: Suits a listener who likes odd history, crime curiosities and Halloween-season spookiness served with bickering, tangents and salty jokes rather than a straight narration.
What sets it apart: The story is aimed at a co-host who has not heard it, which makes the doubts, interruptions and tangents the main event. A claimed feat gets questioned on method, and a phrase like 'a little wounded' can stall a crime story for a whole riff.
Jerry & Amanda from Warning! You Will Be Offended! are back with an all new podcast: Wickedly Weird with Jerry & Amanda. each episode, Jerry will tell Amanda a wickedly weird story with a strange plot twist that she has never heard to get her honest reaction. What could possibly go wrong?
