149: Bear Buffet [In the Dark pt.2]

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 8 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Some crimes are crimes of passion. And sometimes those crimes can leave us In the Dark as to what to do. When one intruder can't get enough of the treasures locked inside the homes of local residents, law enforcement is left with an impossible question: how do you get a bear to stop craving Doritos? In bucolic Lake Tahoe the bears are making a mess of things, if only the clean up was so simple. This week on Well, I Laughed learn about the hilarious misadventures of Hank the Tank. The beloved menace who was unbothered by bear deterrence or calorie counts as she saddled up to the Bear Buffet.

148: Wait For Me [In The Dark pt.1: The Carpethia]

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 1 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0000

On the night of April 15th, 1912 a ship sank in the waters of the North Atlantic on its maiden voyage. Titanic's tragedy made her infamous. But a second ship was involved that fateful evening, lurking in the dark. The efforts of her crew, her passengers, and one intrepid young wireless operator would ensure that this deeply unremarkable ship would also sail into the history books that night. As the Carpethia steamed towards Titanic in the hopes of a grand rescue all souls on board were united in one effort and one thought: wait for me. This week on Well, I Laughed is the underappreciated story of the ship that tried to save Titanic.

When is political violence justified? Is it ever? In a period of rapid industrialization, social strife, and weak democratic institutions one man will choose to take political change into his own hand and in the course of one afternoon change the course of history forever.

A world that was intentionally undemocratic and maintained it’s power through violence. Gavrilo Princip cold blooded assassin? Or Princip of Peace? This week on Well, I Laughed.

145: If The Glove Fits [Prime Time Crime pt.1: OJ Simpson, Nicole Brown, and Ron Goldman]

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

The case is infamous, but the details and the controversy surrounding the OJ Simpson trial are less well known. This week, Maia unpacks the horrific murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. We build a timeline of both the crime and the subsequent investigation and trial. There will be blood, a hero dog, a surprisingly slow car chase, and, of course, gloves. Unpacking how a case that seemed so clear cut could go so disastrously wrong for the prosecution and how the defense was able to convince the jury to acquit. Forget what you think you know about the OJ Simpson trial, this week we uncover the details forgotten in the most famous murder case in America.

Have you ever looked someone up online to get a better sense of who they are? What data did you use? Americans have thousands of data points about themselves floating online, and some companies are more than happy to collect that data and use it however they see fit.

And how effective were they at influencing people’s behavior? This week we get into all of the Dirty Data.

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Call him Smoky the bandit because he is going to steal your heart. When Bill Wynne was fighting for the US in the Pacific during World War 2 he was prepared for whatever the enemy might throw at him, he did not expect a tiny Yorkshire Terrier named Smoky. Bill and Smoky were inseparable and (obviously) popular. What started as an unlikely meeting in the least hospitable of places quickly turned into magic. As Smoky raised spirits across the allied lines he became recognized as "one of the first therapy dogs" for his adorable face and impressive tricks. He was a good dog, a friend to all, and Man's Best Friend. He was Smoky the War Dog.

Special Delivery: From Farm Rebellion to Mailed Babies

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Welcome to Well, I Laughed: People of Agency Edition. For today's holiday break episode, Grant and Maia introduce Aileen and this People of Agency episode.

What if the most revolutionary force in American history wasn't a politician or an army, but mail carriers bringing letters to farmhouse doors? At the turn of the 20th century, rural Americans lived in profound isolation, cut off from news, markets, and opportunities that city dwellers took for granted. Predatory merchants and railroad companies exploited this information gap, charging whatever they wanted because farmers had no way to know if prices were fair. But then something radical happened: farmers organized. Through the Grange movement, they launched a decades-long grassroots campaign demanding Rural Free Delivery, arguing that if city folks got mail delivered to their homes, rural Americans deserved the same democratic right. In Episode 5, Aileen and Maia trace how this seemingly simple postal reform transformed the entire country, spurring the Good Roads Movement, fueling the mail-order catalog revolution, and creating the infrastructure for modern consumer culture. Along the way, they explore the 17-year battle for Parcel Post (blocked by private express companies protecting their profits), the absolutely unhinged things Americans immediately mailed once the weight limit increased (yes, including live babies tagged "fragile"), and the inspiring story of Minnie M. Cox, a Black postmaster in Jim Crow Mississippi who forced Theodore Roosevelt to choose between political expediency and federal principle. This episode reveals how public institutions become battlegrounds, how corporate interests exploit public infrastructure for private gain, and why the fight over who the Post Office serves is still happening right now, with billion-dollar companies cherry-picking profitable routes while demanding the Post Office deliver everywhere else at a loss.

And his story is as interesting as his antics. The world knew him as the daredevil Evel Knievel, but we take a running jump at knowing Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel.

What are the forces that make us who we are? Many people with hard childhoods grow up into adults with fulfilling lives and careers. Others... get kicked out of a sex cult.

133: Red Handed pt.1: Money Talks

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Would you commit a crime if you thought you would never get caught? If you thought everyone was doing it? If there were no victims, just some light corruption? Maybe not, but what if the government compelled you to do it? This week, Maia dives into the anti-corruption operation the Federal government ran known as ABSCAM with the help of known con artist Melvin Weinberg. Dozens of politicians get swept up in corruption charges, and some were clearly better at committing crime than others. In an effort to root out corruption one has to ask... does this bribe make me look fat? This week, on Well, I Laughed: Money Talks

If you’ve ever been driven to the edge of fury trying to open up a bottle of pills (making your headache worse in the process) this story is for you! Between the sprawling backdrop of the Chicago suburbs Maia takes on a journey that involves more than one unsolved murder and raises serious questions about the safety of America’s pharmaceutical system.

130: Sickening pt.1: Typhoid for Two

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 07:00:00 +0000

How responsible are we for the consequences of our actions? This week, Grant and Maia dive into the story of a woman who has come to be known as a reckless, disease spreading cook. Mary Mallon, also known as “Typhoid Mary.” Mary spread typhoid to dozens, maybe even hundreds of people. Several of whom would die from the disease before she was finally caught and quarantined. But behind the sensational story and the oddities of her case lie complicated questions about what we owe each other and what our communities (and country) owe us. It’s “Typhoid for Two”, this week on Well, I Laughed.

116: They Were Roommates pt.2: That Woman

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Few sex scandals are as infamous as President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky. Overnight, a private young woman in her early twenties was almost as famous as the most powerful man in the world. But why was she so publicly humiliated while Clinton continued to enjoy public support? This week, we retrace the path to her public humiliation, find out what Monica Lewinsky has been up to since she became so notorious, and ask tough questions about the way we continue to treat women in the public eye for private acts. Will there ever be “That Women” again?

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 9 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +0000

We all love a little gossip. And these two ladies made sure everyone knew about it. These women were here for the drama, maybe even more than they were here for the truth. In an era where women were defined by the men in their lives, Hedda Hopper and Elda Furry rose by cutting others down. Complicated, conservative, prying, and oh so much fun. This week, meet the original Queens of Mean!

Well behaved women rarely make history. In the case of Alice Roosevelt, they do make scandalous headlines. Alice’s life was marked early by tragedy but defined by her actions and in her own words. Born to a powerful family, Alice chose a life that fit her above all else. In the process she caused controversy and defied expectations. An advocate for style and an ally to many, her life was a series of Crowded Hours.

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 06:00:00 +0000

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi is confounding. How does a woman disappear so close to home? Especially when that home is Vatican City.

And what role, if any, did organized crime and the Catholic Church play in the disappearance and potential cover up? This week, All Roads Lead to Rome.

The 1970s was a turbulent time in America. Two episodes ago, Grant covered the draft board raids and the anti-war movement in response to Vietnam. This week, Grant returns to the era, this time to examine the downfall of President Nixon. What started as a strange break-in in the summer of 1972 would lead to one of the largest corruption and cover-up scandals in American history and would see the name "Watergate" become synonymous with scandal. This week, a timeline and exploration of the crime that would bring down a president, The Watergate Scandal.

Does non-violence include property damage? What if you feel God and faith are calling you to do it? What if it works? This week we dive into the anti-war movement and the unlikely group of resistance fighters who burned thousands of draft cards - priests and nuns.

103: Identity Theft pt.1: Poisonous Postage

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Revenge is a dish best served cold, or sometimes through the mail. This week, Maia covers something we can only describe as "a story like Tiger King". Full of outlandish characters and incredible quotes. How could someone like Paul Kevin Curtis poison you through the mail? How does one make ricin? And how far will someone like James Everett Dutschke go to get back at an online bully? Join us as we uncover the world of Elvis Impersonators, Conspiracy Theories, and Southern Charm.

In this wildly unpredictable episode, Grant and Maia trace the slippery journey from castor oil’s squeaky-clean reputation to its deadly counterpart, ricin—a toxin 6,000 times more lethal than cyanide. After exploring castor oil’s ancient uses and ricin’s sinister history (umbrella assassinations and poisoned pen letters, anyone?), things take a truly bizarre turn with the story of Paul Kevin Curtis, a Mississippi janitor and Elvis tribute act who spirals from organ-harvesting conspiracy theorist to the prime suspect in a 2013 ricin mail scare that rocked D.C. Packed with Cold War drama, FBI raids, public meltdowns, and a seriously unhinged detour through small-town politics. This episode blends science, scandal, and Southern Gothic chaos into one unforgettable tale. Check out "Kings of Tupelo", the 3-part docuseries covered in this episode.

102: Movie Magic pt.3: Listener Episode

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +0000

This week on Well, I Laughed! Ashley goes on a girls trip and accidentally helps catch a criminal in the process. Jen shares that she might also be related to Napoleon (the general, not the dynamite). Cedar teaches a horrible coworker a wonderful lesson. Katelyn learns about supporting women's rights and wrongs during… a WWE style grocery brawl. All that and more, this week on Well, I Laughed!

Ever find yourself in a grocery store thinking, “This could turn into a crime scene”? You’re not alone. In this off-the-rails episode, Maia Warner and Grant Thomas dive into listener-submitted stories featuring supermarket melees, office pranks so convincing they sparked HR-level panic, and Airbnb stays that ended with actual police involvement. From a bakery manager caught in the middle of a snack aisle smackdown to a petty coworker takedown that borders on genius, this one’s got drama, disaster, and just enough poor judgment to keep things interesting.

Along the way, Grant confesses how far he wouldn’t go to save his friends from danger, Maia questions the morality of reality TV, and the duo explores the strategic (and slightly chaotic) art of prank emails. If you’ve ever thought your life was a little too ridiculous to be real, you’ll feel right at home here.

101: Movie Magic pt.2: Meet the Chans

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Jackie Chan’s best movie is hard to name. He’s been leaping off rooftops since the 1960s, but six decades of big‑screen magic still haven’t revealed his most gripping story: his family. This week we meet the Chans. While Jackie shoots the documentary Traces of a Dragon, he discovers the astonishing truth about his parents, Chan Chi‑Long “Charles” and Chan Lee‑Lee “Lily”: a Nationalist spy‑turned‑Shanghai gang boss and a blue‑flower‑wearing opium smuggler whose gambling savvy made her an underworld legend. Their saga of drug runs, Japanese air‑raids, abandoned half‑siblings and a war‑torn China shows just how complicated love, life and family were for “The Spy Next Door.” Before that deep‑dive, Grant and Maia swap ADHD life‑hacks, TikTok doom‑scroll confessions and snack takes, then trace how screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen’s own dojo days birthed The Karate Kid. But the real blockbuster twist is the Chan family itself—proof that even cinema’s most fearless action hero can’t outshine the secrets that shaped him.

100: Movie Magic pt.1: Shake that Speare

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 9 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +0000

This week, Grant and Maia attempt to answer a big question “why do we love Romcoms so much?”. Our episode takes us through the history of romantic comedies. From the Greeks to ways Shakespeare still influences the stories we tell today. We talk about how romantic comedies are some of our oldest stories and so much more than just “chick flicks”. Finally, we revel in our favorite romcoms and share in our delight of both Bridget Jones Diary and Jane Austen. Are you reading to avoid the news? Us too.

Ever feel like your life is one awkward rom-com away from greatness? In this sprawling, laugh-out-loud episode, Grant and Maia dive into the wonderfully chaotic world of rom-coms—and all the real-life moments that feel just as scripted (but with way worse lighting). From hilarious classroom mishaps and movie theater disasters to quirky family stories and spontaneous philosophical tangents, they explore how love, vulnerability, and a bit of messiness make for the best stories—on screen and off. Along the way, they unpack classic rom-com tropes, trace their roots from Shakespearean drama to Sandra Bullock blockbusters, and get unexpectedly deep about personal growth, emotional risk-taking, and the everyday magic of falling for someone—or something—at the wrong time, in the right way. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic, a film nerd, or just someone who’s cried over a well-placed movie montage, this episode will hit you right in the feels (and probably make you laugh-snort in public).

99: Triple Threat pt.3: Listener Episode

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 2 Apr 2025 15:28:34 +0000

Stories from the Well, I Laughed universe! Makayla reminisces on the time she had beef with a middle-aged, high school theater teacher. Emily learns of the pitfalls of “hell yeah girl, get your…” the hard way. Jane accidentally gets a production of a children’s play picketed. Alexandra doesn’t quite master a German accent. And Kylie finds out that three really is a crowd. All that and more, this week on Well, I Laughed!

It’s a triple threat, all right, but this time, you brought the drama. In this episode, we read off your wildest listener stories: theater teachers going rogue, awkward movie dates with little siblings tagging along, nudes discovered in all the worst ways, and so much more. If you ever needed confirmation that real life can rival any staged production, this episode is it. We also manage to squeeze in our usual banter: hair-raising U-Haul mishaps, that universal hatred of cleaning when you move out, and oh-so-confusing first (and second... and third) dates.

97: Triple Threat pt.1: Saints & Singers

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Frank Sinatra would say, "I did it my way," and we would agree. From an early age, he lived an unusual life, raised in a mob bar by a strong-willed mother, gifted with a voice that could melt hearts and a face that could charm anyone. But there’s a side to Sinatra that few people know. A member of the Rat Pack, famous for his many wives and girlfriends, and… a civil rights activist? His friendships stretched from Hollywood’s elite to the most dangerous figures in organized crime and even to the White House. But when his ties to the mob clashed with his loyalty to John F. Kennedy, did Sinatra’s influence take a deadly turn? This week, you’ll get a peek behind the velvet curtain, but trust us, there’s more to Sinatra’s story than any “Somethin’ Stupid” could cover.

95: Untamed pt.2: Monkeying Around

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

"Wild monkeys escape" might feel like a concerning headline. But if you're one inventive business owner outside of New York City, it might be the best thing to ever happen. This week, Maia covers the story of untamed monkeys who seek greener pastures on the other side of their enclosure. But once they're out, we have to ask "how do you catch a monkey?" This week, the story of Frank "Bring 'Em Back Alive" Buck and the Long Island Monkey Escape of 1935!!

When a routine zoo cleaning goes wrong, 175 monkeys decide to explore Long Island—and nothing will stop them. In 1935, famed animal collector Frank Buck’s “Monkey Mountain” became ground zero for one of the wildest jailbreaks you’ve never heard of: train-blocking primates, frantic zookeepers, fruit-stand raids, and a mischievous monkey ringleader called “Al Capone.” This mass escape hijacked headlines far beyond New York, fueling the frenzy around exotic pets and raising questions about how prepared anyone was to corral these curious creatures. Join us for a hilarious and unbelievable tale of animal adventure, where truth is definitely stranger than fiction—and where even a quiet suburb can suddenly become a jungle.

71: History's Mysteries pt.2: A Soviet Secret

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +0000

"What happened at the Dyatlov Pass?" Is one of the 20th centuries greatest historical mysteries. Dive into the chilling 1959 Dyatlov Pass saga. Picture nine seasoned hikers, led by Igor Dyatlov, slashing open their own tent in the dead of night, leaving frozen footprints, a still-glowing flashlight, and bodies ranging from textbook hypothermia to bomb-like rib breaks, singed socks, strangulation markings, missing tongues, and coffin-style snow graves. You’ll get heist-style team intros, spine-tingling diary excerpts, and a whirlwind tour of theories—paradoxical undressing, avalanches, covert Soviet weapons tests, ball lightning, UFOs, even Yeti attacks—plus no-nonsense insights from an ex-FBI agent and a Marin County coroner who flatly refuse “accident” as the answer. With key files buried, cameras torched, and NDAs locked down, every fresh clue only deepens the frostbitten mystery—six decades on, the true story of Dyatlov Pass remains entombed beneath the Ural snow in this Soviet Secret.

Our longest episode yet and we ... won't be doing this again.

70: History's Mysteries pt.1: Mom Jeannes

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Want to know more about the badass women of history? Before there was Joan of Arc, there was a Jeanne. Multiple Jeannes. Honestly, maybe too many Jeannes. Enter Jeanne de Clisson, a Breton noble who burned through estates, out-lasted three husbands, and forged a single, razor-sharp goal: annihilating France’s King Philip VI. After watching her third spouse lose his head on a Paris scaffold, Jeanne sold everything, bought a fleet, painted the hulls midnight-black and the sails blood-red, and roamed the Channel as the “Lioness of Brittany,” leaving one terrified survivor to spread her legend. From grieving widow to pirate admiral with her two young sons at her side, she became medieval Europe’s nightmare on crimson canvas. The real history-mystery? How a woman who sank French warships for thirteen years and may have invented the glowing-up, revenge-tour genre still sails beneath most textbooks’ radars. Get on board with this literal killer queen of history, and prepare to reevaluate every high-school lesson that told you women in armor start and end with Joan.

69: A Lover Scorned pt.3: Listener Episode

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 4 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Need a laugh, a cry, and maybe a second helping of your favorite midnight snack? In this third installment of our "A Lover Scorned" listener series, Maia and Grant serve up a chaotic blend of moving-day madness, woodworking therapy, dive bar etiquette, and fall obsessions—before diving into some of the most jaw-dropping listener stories yet. From Hazel's bulldozer-police-station showdown and Betsy's post-house-fire sugar daddy prophecy to CJ's dating app, detour turned interstate romance, this episode is packed with heartbreak, hilarity, and more than a few prophetic dreams. Plus, we've got breakup etiquette debates, an "Am I the Asshole?" segment, a theater class takeover, and a birthday betrayal that'll have you side-eyeing your situationship. With classic banter, occasional oversharing, and the kind of storytelling that feels like a late-night group chat come to life, this one's got everything—except maybe the breakfast sandwich you forgot to order.

68: A Lover Scorned pt.2: Wanderlust

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Who killed Walter Wanderwell? Grant introduces us to a globe-trotting cast with entirely too many aliases, starting with the irreverent Nell Miller, continuing to the self-styled explorer Captain Walter Wanderwell, and detouring through the fabulously odd heiress Harriet White Fisher. Yet the true scene-stealer, in more ways than one, is Idris Hall, the six-foot Canadian teenager who reinvented herself as Aloha Wanderwell. A woman as singular as her adopted name, Aloha slid behind the wheel of a Ford Model T at sixteen, logged more miles than most men of her era, and turned the camera on every border she crossed. Wander with her through deserts, rail-lined steppe, and Amazonian riverbeds; fall in and out of love as recklessly as she did; and discover how a suitcase full of film reels made her both a legend and a key suspect when Captain Wanderwell ended up dead. Travel the world, love with abandon, snap the proof along the way, meet Aloha Wanderwell, and the mystery that still clings to her tires.

67: A Lover Scorned pt.1: Heads Will Roll

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Think your breakup was messy? Wait till you meet Olga of Kiev. In this explosive (and only technically shorter) episode of Well, I Laughed, Grant and Maia dive into the blood-soaked legend of a woman scorned who didn’t just clap back—she burned entire cities to the ground. After her husband, Prince Igor I, is gruesomely executed by the Drevlians (spoiler: it involves birch trees and a “human hammock”), Olga goes full medieval mastermind. We’re talking trench burials, surprise bathhouse infernos, mead-soaked massacres, and a flaming pigeon airstrike that would make any war strategist weep. The chaos doesn’t stop there, Olga heads to Constantinople, outsmarts an emperor’s proposal, converts to Christianity on her own terms, and rewrites the rulebook for women in power. With plenty of mic-tech mishaps, irreverent tangents, and sharp reflections on revenge, legacy, and saint-level rebranding, this episode proves once again that history is never boring, and sometimes, it’s downright savage.

66: Horsing Around pt.3: Listener Episode

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 06:00:00 +0000

This week’s listener episode finds Grant and Maia christening their brand-new studio, complete with glitchy Wi-Fi, Denver heat, and a hilariously ill-timed breakup mid-opening credits, before diving into six wild listener stories. Stacy shares two painfully familiar dating disasters; Mimi flashes back to the infamous Lee episode “Falsely Imprisoned”; Jessica narrowly escapes being named “Frock”; and Gina’s horse-girl deep dive proves Panera-era obsessions run deep. Classroom chaos arrives courtesy of Kayla’s paper-clip fireball and an anonymous teacher whose super-helpful volunteer dad turns out to be a mafia kingpin. Toss in a queer-fiction book hunt that detours into grandma-approved erotica, a liquor-trunk prom fiasco, and an ROTC suitor who leaves his “heart” behind, and you’ve got another gloriously unhinged week on Well, I Laughed!

65: Horsing Around pt.2: Ranch Ain't Big Enough

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2024 06:00:00 +0000

A true-crime saga that starts with a dressage horse and ends with a shooting. In this jaw-dropping episode, Maia and Grant unpack the wild and winding tale of a barn drama that spirals from elite-level horse training into Facebook call-outs, police showdowns, and a shocking act of violence. After Maia moves her prized mount to a prestigious facility run by ex-Olympian Michael Barone, tensions build with tenant Lauren Ack, whose relentless social media accusations ignite a firestorm that no one sees coming. What unfolds is a story of blurred boundaries, mental health crises, legal chaos, and reputations pushed to the brink. Between the drama, expect plenty of classic detours: Branson, Missouri weirdness, self-checkout kombucha fails, moving-day Ring camera woes, and horse jokes galore. It’s true crime with a mane and a half, and you won’t believe where it goes.

Who was the "Irish Hamilton"? Join us in learning the jaw-dropping saga of Richard Martin, a man of passion who was just as likely to shoot you in a duel as he was to defend an innocent animal. Dubbed “Hair-Trigger Dick” for the 100-plus duels he survived and “Humanity Dick” for dragging a battered donkey into court and writing the world’s first anti-cruelty law, Martin was an 18th-century Irish MP, ship-wreck magnet, and founding spirit behind what would become the ASPCA. Come for the gossip; stay to learn how one man could be both a crack-shot duelist and the patron saint of donkey justice.

62: Down to Business pt.2: Down Under

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Grant takes the opportunity to share some "weird stories from Australia." He introduces us to an underground, deadly underwater cave system in the middle of a cow field known as "The Shaft" in Australia. Next, he covers the disappearance of Harold Holt. The Australian Prime Minister (and spear fisher) who was abducted by aliens, eaten by a shark, or something way more normal and boring. Finally, we learn about what happens when you try to take on mother nature. Specifically, when you launch "The Great Emu War". Along the way you’ll hear why Grant keeps getting recognized by former students, how Maia’s boomer side emerges in the snack-basket aisle, and what happens when two podcasters debate the morality of road-trip bathroom breaks. Buckle up; it’s a long, strange ride beneath (and sometimes above) the Southern Hemisphere. Plus, stick around for a lightning round on potato loyalties, hot-pot lullabies, and morbidly funny “famous last words”—proof that history pairs perfectly with late-night chaos. This week's episode has a little fun down under!

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Was Mulan real? Did Mulan exist? And, if so, how accurate is the movie Mulan? This week we get down to business to uncover the history behind our favorite female warrior. Maia spotlights three extraordinary women whose boldness and brilliance helped reshape East Asian and global history: Tamoe Gozen, a Japanese Samurai from the 12th century, whose bravery and romances were featured in Heike monogatari (The Tale of Heike); Murasaki Shikibu, the author of what's thought of as the world's oldest novel, Genji monogatari (The Tale of Genji); and the legendary Hua Mulan, brought to life through a 5th-century poem and her fierce promise to take her father’s place in war. And, of course, we sing a couple of lines from that killer movie soundtrack (singing podcast?). Along the way, they unpack samurai code, Heian-era culture (calligraphy, poetry, doll festivals, and all), and why storytelling remains one of the most powerful weapons in any era—printing press or not. Women in history had something worth fighting for!

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 06:00:00 +0000

What happened to Laci Peterson, and did the media get it all wrong? In this deeply researched episode, Maia and Grant unpack one of the most polarizing true-crime cases of the early 2000s: the trial of Scott Peterson. Maia walks us through the mysterious circumstances and tragic death of Laci Peterson. We meet her husband Scott Peterson, learn his alibi, and end up with some serious open questions. What was the killer's motive? How does the media's portrayal of a case affect its outcome? How does Amber Frey make or break this case? From his secret affair with Amber Frey to the haunting discovery of Lacey’s body in San Francisco Bay, they walk through the full timeline, the media frenzy, and the courtroom drama that gripped the nation. Along the way, they explore the shadowy backstory of discredited serologist Fred Zane, the early days of the Innocence Project, and the forensic puzzle pieces, fishing licenses, search histories, and cadaver-dog alerts that either built or broke the case. With a sharp breakdown of jury strategies and an unfiltered “rat-brain” take from Maia on the trial’s most debated moments, this episode lays out the facts and dares you to decide where you stand. A true crime episode, and a potentially unsolved case!

What is eco-terrorism and... is it all bad? In the 1990s the US government found out what happened when you anger young environmentalist and the power of positive reinforcement for things like sabotage. Grant covers who was the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and the degree to which their crimes deserved the label "terrorist". Saviors of the planet, terrorist, or both? This week's episode of Well, I Laughed, we unpack the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), the FBI’s sweeping “Operation Backfire,” and why slapping the word terrorist on young environmentalists is trickier than it sounds. Expect rattlesnake‑adjacent sprinklers, late‑night‑taco diplomacy, oversharing Tesla drivers, GMO tree farms, the 1999 WTO protests, two arsonists still on the run, and—of course—one painfully ordinary LinkedIn profile.

Laugh, cringe, and question everything you thought was normal—this jam-packed listener episode has it all. Maia and Grant spiral through a whirlwind of chaos, comedy, and oddly relatable life hacks—starting with the brilliance of a “receiving hour” to curb messaging guilt. From there, it’s off to the gym: Maia recounts a cardio mishap that ends in a starfish-shaped crisis, while Grant shrugs his way through circuit anarchy. Nature talk includes a spiritual birdwatching moment atop Green Mountain and a rooftop feeder showdown between pigeons and finches. Then things take a turn with classroom drama involving AI essay detectors, organ-harvesting conspiracies (seriously), and jaw-dropping listener tales—including a teen fugitive’s 40 mph joyride-cry escape and a widow’s revenge eviction complete with sheriff backup and a midnight pet rescue. Toss in rogue houseplants, literary grudges against Wuthering Heights, and a hot take on summer break for grown-ups, and you’ve got one delightfully unhinged ride.

Criminal justice, true crime, and the bonds of family all clash in today's podcast episode! It starts with a story we've heard before. An innocent man is convicted of a crime he did not commit.

55: The Hills We Die On pt.1: Friends in Weird Places

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 29 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! And a story as odd as any we've told. A potentially unsolved mystery. A podcast episode about a spooky (and at times hilarious) cryptid that takes us from the streets of London, to the Isle of Man, to the space between walls. You will not believe what the creature ends up being, or what is ends up saying. That is, if you believe the story at all. Depends on the hill you're willing to die on. Gef the Talking Mongoose AKA Jack the Talking Weasel AKA The Dalby Spook!

They trace the origins of a comfortably well-off Liverpool family, the Irvings, who purchase a remote farmhouse called Doarlish Cashen on the Isle of Man. What begins as a charming rural investment soon turns terrifying when a “weasel-like” creature emerges from the walls, rapidly learns to speak nursery rhymes and local slang, and terrorizes the family with knocks, bangs, and sardonic laughter. Dubbed “Jack” and later “Jeff the Talking Mongoose,” this entity befriends the Irvings (especially their youngest daughter, Voirrey) but drives neighbors and investigators wild with fear and fascination. Captain Harold “Dennis” Eggerton and famed paranormal investigator Harry Price eventually descend on the island, only to witness raps on panels, voice projections, and even spoon-clattering chains—validating one of the most bizarre haunting cases ever recorded.

54: In the Bag pt.3: Send Less Help

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 22 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Three true crime episodes in a set, well that's a first. The set, a Swedish Bank. The Players, Jan-Erik Olofsson, Sven, Sven, Maybe another Sven?, Kristen Enmark, Brigitta Lundblad, Elisabeth Oldgren, and Clark Olsson. Key events, The streets of Stockholm are swarmed as everyone wants to get in on the most exciting robbery of the summer. Bullets are fired, loves are forged, and Kaj Hansson makes a surprise call in NOT about the bees. The 1973 Stockholm bank siege that gave the world “Stockholm syndrome.” Before the tear gas and duct-tape drama, though, we detour through Grant’s “horse on the track” school day, an estate-sale circus featuring Sexy Chewbacca, Maia’s PT-induced identity crisis, depression-nap doctrine, and the most chaotic student–teacher standoff since Ferris Bueller. Once the smoke clears (literally), we hole up with career crooks Jan-Erik Olsson and Clark Olofsson, a quartet of chill hostages, seven poorly placed drill holes, and a blue Mustang that never even starts. It’s a master class in charismatic crime, questionable police tactics, and why Sweden might just have the world’s most polite felons.

53: In the Bag pt.2: How to Hide a Painting

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 15 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Jump back into one of the greatest unsolved heists in history? In Part 2 of our deep dive into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft, Grant and Maia pick up the story 48 hours after 13 masterpieces vanished—and the chaos really kicks in. From a scrapped smoke-bomb plan in the ’80s to Myles Connor’s audacious Rembrandt heists, they trace a tangled web of mobsters, shady art dealers, and maybe a few guards who weren’t as innocent as they seemed. Follow the trail through Boston’s underworld, meet a cast of characters straight out of a crime novel (looking at you, Billy Youngworth and Bobby Donati), and find out how a dark warehouse, a reporter with a flashlight, and a handful of suspicious paint chips almost cracked the case—almost. With living suspects, mob wars, FBI blunders, and jaw-dropping theories about where the art could be today, this episode delivers the twists, the drama, and a few moments that'll have you shouting, "Wait, WHAT?!" right along with us. Hear the perspective of Boston Herald journalist Tom Mashberg. We chase leads and go down rabbit holes and yet are still left wondering - how to hide a painting.

52: In the Bag pt.1: Night at the Museum

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 8 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

A true-crime episode! Grant takes us to Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the night of the Gardner Museum Art Heist—the largest art robbery in modern history. We meet Myles Connor, Boston’s top art thief, wonder whether night guard Richard Abath was an unlucky bystander or an inside man, and learn about Isabella Stewart Gardner, the eccentric woman who built the museum and swore its layout must never change. All to get to the bottom of “the largest art heist in history.” But first, Grant and Maia spiral through immortality theories, sentient cats, 100-year-old parrots, birthday-party cringe, exercise-induced existential dread, a “secret tunnel” pillow un-boxing, and a TikTok raccoon-therapy rabbit hole just to warm up for the empty frames, tripped fire alarms, and unanswered questions ahead.

51: Prophetic Dreams pt.3: Listener Episode

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 1 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Dive headfirst into a bizarre (and surprisingly emotional) parade of prophetic dreams that hit a little too close to home. We’re talking moose people on a mission, dogs turning into fully clothed humans, and a priest with psychic winter gear. From eerily accurate pregnancy dreams to a rainbow flag so powerful it sent missionaries packing, these stories blur the line between funny, freaky, and full-on fate. Whether you’re a dream journal fanatic or just here for the weird vibes, this episode delivers laughs, chills, and a reminder that your subconscious might be two steps ahead of you.

50: Prophetic Dreams pt.2: Misérables

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Who was Victor Hugo, and why was he so cool? In this podcast episode about Les Misérables and it's creator, Grant shares the fun loving life of the great French writer, Victor Hugo. Part history podcast, part lifestyle guide, Hugo helped define and describe the era he lived through. We learn about the writing of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and the writers commitment to the less fortunate, both in fiction and reality. Party tricks, politics, and publishing defined the life of a man who dreamed a dream of time to come!

From political exile to literary superstar, Victor Hugo lived a life more dramatic than his own novels. This episode explores the man behind Les Misérables, revealing his radical politics, outrageous personal life, and the revolutionary way he published one of history's most beloved books. Buckle up for a ride through 19th-century France like you've never experienced before! We’ll unpack Hugo’s wild dinner-party “orange trick,” follow the wheelbarrow stampede for the novel’s first print run, and see how his fiery speeches still echo in today’s debates on censorship and social justice. Whether you’re a musical-theatre nerd, a history buff, or just here for the juicy gossip, this is Hugo as you’ve never heard him—unfiltered, unbuttoned, and unbelievably fun.

49: Prophetic Dreams pt.1: Little Red Lie

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0000

In this chilling episode, Maia Warner and Grant Thomas dig into the twisted tale of Maria Martin—a young woman whose secret romance ended in betrayal, murder, and a shallow grave beneath the floorboards of a crumbling Suffolk barn. Set in 1827 and powered by prophetic dreams, shady love letters, and a suspiciously well-timed disappearance, this true crime saga has it all: scandal, séance vibes, and a stepmother with psychic accuracy. From the trial that captivated England to the grotesque public displays that followed William Corder’s execution, we’re serving up courtroom drama, creepy details, and a haunting reminder that sometimes your gut (or your dreams) knows more than the law. Join us as Maia explains a Little Red Lie and the Red Barn Murder.

48: Out & About pt.3: Listener Episode

It is our first listener episode! Listeners from the Well, I Laughed universe share stories about surviving family curses, gay haircuts, a terrible first date story, and the unsettling "St. Mikulas" tradition in Prague! An episode of shocking, surprising, and funny episodes all about being Out and About.

From blooming grief tulips to devils in daycare, this listener-powered chaos cruise has everything: funerals, field sessions, and a family curse with more mysterious deaths than a true crime docuseries. Grant returns home for his grandmother’s memorial and ends up in a whirlwind of Midwest surveillance, metal-blasting funeral vans, and paperwork that rewrites family history. Maia battles allergy brain, sticker sabotage, and existential spirals on a neighborhood walk. Listener stories crank up the mayhem with haunted haylofts, rogue sawmills, accidental train naps, and a Czech holiday where kids get dragged off in chains by a devil. Toss in a Bumble date KO’d by a Tom Brady heckle, a Civil War surgeon’s messy divorce, and Jeff Goldblum bar lore, and you’ve got one unhinged, deeply human, laugh-through-the-chaos kind of episode.

47: Out & About pt.2: Swann Dive

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 3 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Drag is art, drag is exciting, drag is… old? This week, Maia explores the history of drag. From drag in Ancient Greece and Rome and male only casts, to more contemporary artist like the work of Julian Eltinge. Maia shares the life of William Dorsey Swann, who was America’s first drag queen, or at least one of them. Taking us to the Drag Balls of Harlem during the Harlem Renaissance and the extravagant homes of DC that first held drag gatherings. Swann’s life proves that drag has history in America. Take a swan dive in the life of “William Dorsey Swann”!

Meet the queen who started it all—corset, courage, and all. In this episode, Grant and Maia dive into the incredible true story of William Dorsey Swann, a formerly enslaved man who threw fierce drag balls in 1880s Washington, DC—decades before Stonewall and centuries before RuPaul. Swann didn’t just sashay through history; he kicked down doors, defied police raids, and claimed space for Black queer joy at a time when both his race and gender expression were criminalized. From glitter and grit to protest and pride, this episode uncovers how Swann’s radical legacy echoes through today’s culture wars, including a powerful tribute during the George Floyd protests on the very street that now bears his name. If you love history served with sass, struggle, and seriously good storytelling—this one’s for you.

46: Out & About pt.1: Never Married

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Where did the phrase “coming out of the closet” come from? Is history gay? And if it is, why is gay history a secret? This week’s podcast episode looks at famous gay people in history. Including gay Kings of England and America’s first gay president, at least potentially. Grant and Maia also take on the controversy of learning gay history. Explore the perks of being a spinster. Before ending with a tour of modern gay history in the United States. They say he was never married, a confirmed bachelor, and famous for his dinner parties. A queer history, now out!

From weekend bar mishaps to the hidden layers of “coming out,” Grant and Maia take you on a lively ride through queer history’s best-kept secrets. They trade banter on bookstore obsessions, hyperfixation at work, and late-night escapades—then pivot to “never married” monarchs, a bachelor president, and the many ways LGBTQ+ stories slipped into the shadows. Equal parts hilarious and eye-opening, it’s a whirlwind look at how “out and about” has always meant so much more. They dig into the coded language of early gay communities, the unexpected role of spinster neighbors, and reveal how a mid-century “Lavender Scare” still echoes in today’s battles for representation. Expect comedic tangents, historical aha-moments, and fresh insight into why these hidden narratives matter.

45: Excessive Force pt.3: AITA

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Stories from the Reddit AITA page. The challenge of being a new mom with a clueless new father. A family that respects their daughters wishes. A family prank that went too far. And disappointing husbands that could do more to support their spouse. A series of funny Reddit stories about people who might have taken it a little too far. Excessive force AITA!

Grant Thomas and Maia Warner take you on a no-seatbelt kind of ride through the hilarious highs and humbling lows of teaching, teenage chaos, and the unpredictable world of state tournaments. What starts as a look ahead to the Colorado State speech and debate showdown quickly unravels into real talk about the pressure students face, the sting of slipping up, and what happens when a forgotten script meets real-world consequences. Along the way, you'll hear snarky side notes about snoring roommates, wedding flower girl drama, and parenting debates that hit a little too close to home. Add in some wild campus pranks, legendary school rivalries, and sharp reflections on teacher accountability and personal growth, and you've got an episode that’s equal parts ridiculous and real. If you’re here for the laughs, the lessons, or just need to feel better about your own messy life, this one’s got it all—colorful commentary included.

44: Excessive Force pt.2: March to May

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

A podcast on workers rights and the labor movement! Striking workers and unsafe working conditions, a uniquely American story. This week, Grant explores two historic moments in the labor rights movement. The Haymarket Riot in Chicago and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York. We learn more about Albert Parsons and Lucy Parsons, Clara Lemlich, and even get a surprise appearance from gilded age aristocrats. Discover the meaning behind May Day in today’s episode, March to May!

In this powerful episode, Grant and Maia explore the brutal labor struggles of late 19th and early 20th-century America, focusing on the Haymarket Riot of 1886 and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911. Through the stories of activists like Albert and Lucy Parsons, the hosts reveal the extraordinary courage of immigrant workers fighting against exploitative working conditions, systemic oppression, and corporate greed. The episode reaches its emotional peak with a detailed account of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which claimed 146 lives and ultimately sparked significant labor reforms in New York State. By connecting historical struggles to contemporary social justice issues, Grant and Maia offer a compelling narrative about the ongoing fight for workers' rights and the importance of understanding systemic inequalities. Tune in for the roots of May Day, nostalgic tangents about foldable furniture and Jon Stewart, plus a clear message that any “normal” built on abuse deserves rethinking.

43: Excessive Force pt.1: Blast Off

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 6 Mar 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Today’s podcast episode is about a famous school rivalry. The rivalry between Denver University and the Colorado School of Mines. Maia covers some pranks that go too far. Pranks with explosives, hostages, and lots of ways to go wrong, at least a little. It is about more than a game of football, or a big white M on the side of the mountain. An episode on school pride and smart people doing dumb things. CU vs CSU. Auburn vs Georgia Tech. Harvard vs Yale. John Evans vs History. Who's side are you on?

How do a high school debate tournament, a sketchy Quality Inn, and one very loud snorer turn into a full-blown history lesson with explosions and academic beef? In this delightfully unhinged episode, Grant and Maia kick things off with tales of chaperoning chaos, room-sharing drama, and road trip rituals—before swerving straight into the wild world of Colorado campus lore. From the tangled legacy of John Evans to dorm room antics that might technically count as terrorism (oops), they blend laugh-out-loud stories with sharp historical insight and just the right amount of heartfelt reflection. Vocabulary lessons, personal confessions, and absurd adventures collide in this episode about how the past keeps showing up—in classrooms, in college rivalries, and in the backseat of a debate van. Press play and prepare to be both entertained and strangely educated.

42: Plenty of Fish pt.3: AITA

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Stories from the Reddit AITA page. For Valentine's day we cover terrible dates. Being too honest with your friend about their dating expectations. Reacting to sudden hostility while grabbing drinks. And telling your friend they’re wrong, even when pressured not to. Four Reddit stories about dating, and terrible dating experiences.

Buckle up for the grand finale of “Plenty of Fish,” where Maia and Grant juggle skittish dogs, star‑struck cousins, and the most unhinged dating stories Reddit can offer. Broadcasting from a friend’s couch (wine in hand), they swap Valentine’s wisdom, sign a dubious half‑marathon pact, and update us on Grant’s ongoing “candy‑thief” whodunit. Then it’s straight into four AITA bombshells: a friend who weaponizes dating statistics, a boyfriend who melts down over birth‑control, a first‑date tantrum about condoms, and a “poly” guy who forgets to mention he’s, well, poly until the STDs show up. Along the way you’ll hear cookie‑price economics, bro‑code takedowns, and a tease of Maia’s next theme (will it be Explosive Competition, Epic Rivalries, or Way Over the Top?). It’s equal parts comedy, cringe, and hard‑won advice, perfect for anyone navigating modern love with a side of chaos.

41: Plenty of Fish pt.2: Alone in a Crowded Room

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Do aliens exist? Or are we alone in the universe? In this week’s podcast episode we explore Fermi's Paradox. Maia covers topics like the “great filter theory”, the day a UFO sighting stopped a football game with Ardico Magnini, the “coso artifact”, and the US Congressional Hearing on UFO sightings and the testimony of Retired Maj. David Grusch. An episode that addresses the question, if there are supposed to be plenty fish in our galaxy… where are they?

Grant Thomas and Maia Warner weave together a tapestry of the strange, the silly, and the surprisingly insightful. From quirky campus laws and bizarre dorm-life rules to accidental movie marathons and the curious case of not one, but two flat tires, they explore the odd corners of everyday life that most of us overlook. With their signature blend of humor and curiosity, they uncover the hidden magic in mundane moments—proving that even the weirdest days are packed with unexpected lessons, historical rabbit holes, and plenty of reasons to laugh along the way.

38: Law and Disorder pt.2: A Beautiful Country

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 07:00:00 +0000

In today's podcast episode, Grant covers some Civil War history. Specifically, the life and legend of John Brown. Abolitionist, hero, domestic terrorist? Depends on who you ask. Also covered is the conflict known as “Bleeding Kansas”, the raid on Harpers Ferry, and the work of important abolitionists like Fredrick Douglass and Gerrit Smith.

It’s a frosty catch-up session that leads us straight into 1800s American history—specifically the life (and wild times) of John Brown. First, Grant and Maia share comedic chaos about frigid weather, too many soups, and a mysterious “candy heist” at a recent speech tournament. Then we dive deep into abolitionist John Brown: his devout Calvinist upbringing, his many children with two wives, his infamous raids in “Bleeding Kansas,” and the final showdown at Harpers Ferry that locked in his legacy. Along the way, they explore Brown’s unwavering religious convictions, his willingness to embrace violence to end slavery, and how that turned him into both a historical legend and a polarizing figure.

37: Law and Disorder pt.1: Good Cop, Bad Cop

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 07:00:00 +0000

A podcast episode about the Pinkertons and the internet group Anonymous. Grant and Maia play a game of "good cop, bad cop" as we dive into the history of both groups. We travel to the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln and the death of a famous revenge porn website. Part history podcast, part storytelling experience. Join us as we discuss Jesse James and his gang and the vile Hunter Moore!

When does law enforcement become lawless? In this explosive first part of Law and Disorder, Maia and Grant pull back the curtain on the myth of the “good guys with badges.” From Jesse James’ Southern vendetta to the Pinkertons’ rise as the world's first private army, this episode dissects how corporate interests shaped American justice—and how the lines between law, order, and outright chaos were never as clear as we were told. If you thought the Wild West was wild, wait until you hear how Carnegie and Rockefeller turned labor strikes into war zones. With dark humor and deep historical insight, Maia and Grant tell the real story behind the Homestead Strike, the assassination of a U.S. governor, and why “bad cop” might’ve just been the original job description. Buckle up. You’re not in history class anymore.

Pigeons in New York City? Absolutely groundbreaking. This week, we dive headfirst into the winged weirdness that takes over the Big Apple—whether they’re real or not, we’re still debating. Then, we explore why we once adored those feathered friends (hint: Charles Darwin is involved). Along the way, we swap stories about comedic altitude sickness and offbeat movie nights (hello, “Cocaine Bear”), because there’s never a dull moment around here. Next, we dissect the jaw-dropping “affluenza” defense in the Ethan Couch case, proving that real life is sometimes stranger than fiction. Finally, we land on an AITA debate from Reddit: should you just pack up and move to NYC on a whim? Our take might sound familiar, but it’s a can’t-miss conversation. Well, we laughed!

LIVE from our friend's living room. It is the Well, I Laughed Christmas episode! Recorded in the most festive room either of us have ever seen. We discuss the holidays, vasectomies, and eventually share a couple AITA stories from Reddit. Grant and Maia unpack all the weird and hilarious holiday traditions and stories from each other.

A special thank you to Kelsi and Edgar for being such wonderful friends and hosts.

Tinsel, twinkle lights, and the faint sound of huskies scuttling in the background? You’ve landed in the Well, I Laughed “Very Merry Holiday” special! In Part 3 of our Hometown Hijinks series, Grant and Maia record from Kelsi and Edgar’s ultra-festive living room—a setting that feels suspiciously like a medieval Christmas fortress. Amid fur stockings, seven Christmas trees, and some spirited off-mic banter from friends, they talk holiday traditions, not-so-Norman-Rockwell families, and the dreaded emotional labor of remembering birthdays. Oh, and heads up: a top-secret Santa discussion lurks within. If little ones still believe wholeheartedly in St. Nick, you might want to hit “pause” or throw on headphones. Otherwise, join the gang for an off-the-rails, end-of-the-year wrap-up that’s equal parts snark, nostalgia, and comedic chaos!

Grant transports us back to the Gilded Age in a completely unplanned turn of events, asking the big question: When is a murder just a murder, and when does it symbolize deeper social turmoil like racism or misogyny? In this second installment of “Hometown Hijinks,” a famous gambler in 1890s Lincoln, Nebraska, gets brained with a steel cane and possibly poisoned, pulling a suspicious barber, a not-so-grieving wife (hello, Molly Sheedy!), and powerful railroads into the biggest murder trial in local lore.

Forget what you think you know about Patty Hearst. This week Maia launches us into Part 1 of the Patty Hearst story.

Prepare yourself to laugh, cringe, and question everything you thought you knew about victimhood, radicalization, and the absurdity of revolutionary antics in 1970s America.

26: Influential Secrets pt.2: Shaken, not Stirred

admin@bleav.com (Well I Laughed Podcast) — Wed, 8 Nov 2023 07:00:00 +0000

There is more than one way to win the war. This week Grant dishes to Maia the many fun and scandalous ways the British government tried to convince America to support them during WW2. In the process, they helped elevate some of the 20th century's most prodigious writers. Grab a cocktail, we have some wining and dining to get to.

Before James Bond, real British spies were infiltrating American high society, shifting public opinion, and even seducing elites to sway the tide of war. British intelligence launched a secret propaganda campaign in the U.S., planting pro-war sentiment in newspapers and leveraging high-profile influencers to change minds. Even beloved author Roald Dahl played a role in this covert operation, using his charm to get close to key decision-makers. And if that wasn’t wild enough, Britain also trained elite assassins—including some with a shocking twist. This episode dives deep into the untold stories of espionage, manipulation, and real-life tactics that inspired one of the most famous fictional spies in history.
