S.2 Ep.9 Birds Aren't Real!

The search for buried treasure has been the traditional quest for humanity for over 500 centuries. It was a promise of a hoard of pirate gold that could save their town from Yuppie Greed that lured Mike “Mikey” Walsh, Richard “Data” Wang, Clark "Mouth" Devereaux, and Lawrence “Chunk” Cohen to gather for a final weekend together, in search of One-Eyed Willy’s treasure in the 1985 classic, The Goonies. And my friends it is our topic for today. Amanda takes us on a treasure hunting journey with the history,how it’s evolved through the times, and actual found and unfound treasures. Our Wacky World News somewhat ties into this as a British philanthropist makes a from the grave roast at the art gallery he funded a wing for.

Can anyone else relate to All-Star by Smash Mouth with the lyric “the years start coming and they don’t start coming?” That’s how we’ve felt at TWRD since our last recording. But have no fear, we’re back with Season 3! To get us back into the swing of things, Amanda decided to have some articles in the past few years for us to discuss! They may not all be conspiracy related but they are definitely some interesting ones! We have some good laughs on some of the articles and can’t wait to record more this season!

As promised, recap episode writeup: S2, Epi 14 Seasons Recap Time to wrap up Season 2 with a fun little recap of our thoughts from the first two seasons. We’ve seen some changes as we’ve progressed with recording as far as hosts, guest hosts, format. It was nice to take a trip down memory lane and see how far we’ve come. Amanda gave us some fun Wacky World News topics and we express our love for seafood on one of them.

SPECIAL GUEST ALERT!!! This week Amanda’s mom, Margaret, joined us to give us a recap of one of her favorite YouTube saga’s with What the Hale$. This was sparked as Margaret was talking to us before we started recording and we all agreed that this would be an amazing episode. While it may seem a little chaotic (okay, it’s very chaotic) Margaret’s joy in explaining this to us was worth it. For those who are not familiar with the What the Hale$ YouTube account, there is a couple, Jeremy and George, that live both in Ohio and Florida who purchase storage units to sell the items in there (kind of like Storage Wars). With their house in Florida, they have a neighbor that has been taking them to court for various offenses which Jeremy and George have been chronologizing on their YouTube account. There are many videos regarding all the legal matters so follow along with Margaret if you’d like! We’re hoping we can get her back in a few weeks to give us another update on this.

Angela Farrow: We’re back for 2024 with another season but the same shenanigans! JMo joins us again with Amanda leading her favorite topic, cults. Now we did a high-level overview in Season 1 (Episode 17 in case anyone wanted to take a listen), but this one Amanda talks about a book she recently read titled “The Cult of Trump.” She also put together a fun game for us to determine if people or groups have cult-like qualities. Our Wacky World News gives us a throwback to Florida man stories however, this one is a little different. We have some fun following the Brightline train’s saga of hitting people!

On November 22, 1963 60 years ago America lost one of its important President’s: John F. Kennedy. The mystery behind what actually happened and the numerous theories of who did it and why continue to intrigue. Amanda provides us with an overview of that fateful day and the top 10 theories surrounding the assassination. We also discuss the composure and demeanor of Jackie O on that day and the days after along with the status of her blood stained pink suit. Wacky World News sounds like a Florida person story but actually takes place in South Carolina at a daycare in which two employees were fired for directing the children to fight each other. We had many questions about this one and had a good laugh. Please rate and review us on your podcast host of choice.

Picture this, Kelly-Hopkinsville, Kentucky 1955. You’re relaxing with all your family at the farmhouse and suddenly you are attacked by little green men! This week’s episode Chris helps us dissect the events that occurred on this night and share some fun pictures of what the little green men looked like. This event also has some debunking which seemed more plausible than what the eye witness accounts stated. We also discuss our plans to potentially partake in the Little Green Men Days festival that the town celebrates every year if they decide to bring it back. The Wacky World News was a hoot and a great Florida person story. Who would have thought tacos could be used as a weapon. Please rate and review us on your podcast host of choice.

BIRDS AREN’T REAL! BIRDS AREN’T REAL! It’s a pretty catchy chant. Angela takes the lead this week to go over its beginnings, background on the individual that started it, and the popularity with Gen Z-ers. While this is a little different than our other topics, it’s definitely a good one to mention and take a look into. For Wacky World News, we grabbed the bull by its horns. Well we didn’t but we do converse about the man who fitted his Crown Victoria to transport his bull, Howdy-Doody, from his home in Neligh to Norfolk Nebraska that was pulled over by the police.

We are back this episode with a guest host...JMo from Bootleggers and Baptists returns! He is here to talk about Con-Artists. Charles Ponzi, D.B. Cooper, and Frank Abagnale Jr. are the three covered in this episode. We found out Amanda does not appreciate D.B. Cooper's demands, and Chris hates Tom Hanks. Wacky Worlds News brings back our favorite Florida person topic regarding a baby alligator that was stolen for a woman’s birthday pictures. Be sure to check out Bootleggers and Baptists' new EP "ASIDE" releasing on 10/28/23 everywhere you stream music! Please rate and review us on your podcast host of choice.

This week’s episode was a bit of a wild ride. We discuss Operation: High Jump which took place in Antarctica from August 1946 to late February 1947. In keeping with our alien discussion, we converse over Admiral Byrd’s diary account of one specific entry and what he saw upon one of his last returns. The Wacky World News was too good this week. Our first topic brings back our favorite state, Florida, and a little bit of Florida Woman story regarding Mountain Dew being used to remove DNA. The second topic occurred back in 2019 but was too funny not to share. Two men were arrested after shooting each other wearing a bulletproof vest in Arkansas. Angela was also able to find some follow-up information for this one after the court hearing in August 2020. Please rate and review us on your podcast host of choice.
