172: Manacled Mormon [Tied Up pt.1]
What would you do for love? What would you do to escape it? This week Grant tells us the bizarre story of the beauty queen who would do anything for the man she loved, and the man who didn’t quite feel the same way in return. What follows is a tale of kidnapping, counter theories, costumes, and one very quotable woman. It is the story of tabloids who turn the incident into spectacle and in the process undermine justice and truth. Joyce McKinney believes she is many things, what is actually true and what is a figment of her imagination is a question many have tried to answer. This week it is the case of the Manacled Mormon on Well, I Laughed. 00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:28:08 Manacled Mormon [Joyce McKinney] 00:52:21 Hunter, Liar, Flyer 01:14:05 The Great Escape, x2 01:29:20 Dearly Departed 01:43:02 Running, Running, Running 01:57:20 The Strangest of Endings Connect with Us Website: wellilaughed.com Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/WellILaughedPodcast Email us at wellilaughedpod@gmail.com Instagram: @wellilaughed Tiktok: @wellilaughed Facebook: Well, I Laughed Podcast YouTube: Well, I laughed Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

170: Rob the Dog, Dawg [DIY pt.2]
In the criminal justice system, sometimes you have to do it yourself! This week Grant tells us two stories! The first covers the legal history of Robert Lee Brock. A man who saw opportunity around every corner to try to break the criminal justice system. If there was a “get out of jail free” card, he was going to find it! Even if that meant he became “the man who sued himself”. Next we learn about Warren Demesme, who asked for a lawyer, or a dog, but probably not a dog who is a lawyer, right? The famous legal case of the “lawyer dog” and its impact on our civil rights today. It's a lot of crime, but what do you expect when Rob’s the dog, dawg? This week, on Well, I Laughed! Please note that upon further investigation, Robert Lee Brock is likely indigenous. 00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:34:31 Rob the Dog, Dawg 00:56:31 What's in a Dog? 01:07:54 Complicated Case Law 01:23:06 Dog Eat Dog Legal World 01:38:29 Lessons Learned from the Dog House Connect with Us Website: wellilaughed.com Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/WellILaughedPodcast Email us at wellilaughedpod@gmail.com Instagram: @wellilaughed Tiktok: @wellilaughed Facebook: Well, I Laughed Podcast YouTube: Well, I laughed Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Maia and Grant might not totally agree on ghosts, but there is one thing that we do agree on: the Winchester Mystery House is awesome. After experiencing tremendous personal loss Sarah Winchester was left with few options, thank goodness she had more money than she knew what to do with. After moving to San Jose, Sarah set out to build the house of her dreams. A kind employer and ADHD architect she built something no one else could.

167: Gone But Not Forgotten [Better Together pt.2]
One of the most famous pair of outlaws in American history. Mythologized as a pair of tragic lovers. Outlaws. Infamous for their crime spree and their furious driving style. This week, Maia leads Grant through the back story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. From Clyde’s rough childhood to Bonnie’s concerned mother, the back story before their criminal records provide interesting clues and more than a few laughs.

166: I'll B. Better [Better Together pt.1]
Long before Rosa Parks famously refused to move from her seat on a public bus, thousands of Black Americans had spent decades protesting segregation with their bodies. Ida B. Wells grew up orphaned, impoverished, and with several young siblings to care for. But Wells never let the circumstances of her life stop her from advocating for what is right. An accomplished author, Wells was exiled from the South for decades for her explosive (and true) expose on southern racial violence. A pioneer in investigative journalism and anti-lynching laws, Ida B. Wells believed in America, she knew “I’ll B. Better” this week, on Well, I Laughed! 00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:38:54 I'll B.
