176: Rage Bait [Dynasty pt.2]
This week we jump right back into the wild world of the Murdock family. Maia takes us from their complicated trust to their questionable business decisions as the family continued to build their media empire from the 2000s to present day. Along the way we watch the Murdochs stumble over some pretty basic questions like: is an incompetent man better than a capable woman? Or, should you help spread white nationalism if it makes you money? The answers won’t surprise you! As the story builds to its dramatic conclusion we are left to wonder if rich incompetence can sustain a global media empire.

What's more important: family or business? How does that affect a family business. This week Maia investigates how success and wealth impact the bonds within a family that has somehow touched the lives of nearly everyone and everything around you. The Murdochs. This is part one of a two part series covering the inner workings of the family that inspired succession. Let's see how Sir Keith Murdoch's legacy transfers to the infamous Rupert Murdoch. Then how is that going to then be dealt with by his children: Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, James, Grace, and Chloe?

173: Up, Up, & Away [Tied Up pt.1]
Some dreams are too grand to let die, even if they might kill you. This week Maia introduces us to “Lawnchair Larry” - otherwise known as Larry Walters - a man who looked at the sky with wonder… and then wondered to himself… could he float up there? Could he literally tie a bunch of balloons to a chair and get UP there? Larry’s story is inspiring and questionable, but it proves that with the support of friends and family anything is possible!

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.
