    155: Neighborly Love [Lawful Good pt.2]

    Do you know your neighbors? Do you want to? François Clemmons is one of America's iconic examples of neighborly love. Through the combination of the love of his neighbors and his own love of music, we meet history's best neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A powerful advocate for educational television, Mister Rogers taught American children it was okay to feel and how to process big emotions. But his legacy extends to his friends and coworkers too. By turning his program into an example of integration and acceptance Fred Roger’s helped change America and empower Francois Clemons (better known as "Officer Clemmons"), whose story is equally as hopeful. Will you be our neighbor?

    154: Lone Ranger [Lawful Good pt.1: US Marshal Bass Reeves]

    Bass Reeves' adult life started with a crime: he ran away from the white man enslaving him. In his quest for freedom he made his way to the state of Oklahoma, learned several languages, and became the toughest man west of the Mississippi. All traits he would need when he became the first Black US Marshal in the west. A life that began with a crime would be defined by it’s lawfulness.

    152: Fully Heumann [Righteous Resistance pt.2: Judy Heumann and the ADA]

    In the 1970s the campers at Camp Jened in upstate New York all shared two things in common. First, that they were all living with some kind of disability. And second, they would help launch a movement that would change the world. The United States looked very different 50 years ago for individuals with disabilities - it was closed to them. Our modern world is filled with physical proof - from elevators to curb cuts - of the advocacy these former campers and long time friends committed their lives to. One camper in particular would become synonymous with the Disability Civil Rights movement, Judy Heumann. This week we pay respect and shed light to the work of Judy and countless other advocates who had to fight to be seen as “Fully Heumann”, this week on Well, I Laughed.     00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:27:35 Fully Huemann 00:34:25 Camp Jened 00:47:44 Judy Heumann 01:04:56 They're Grown Adults! 01:15:15 The 504 Sit In 01:32:32 The Capitol Crawl 01:45:55 Roll the Credits     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.

    151: Ladies of Liberty [Righteous Resistance pt.1: Hannie Schaft, Truus and Freddie Oversteegen]

    Women are expected to be quiet and complacent. Where such an expectation would limit most women, a few have managed to use it for the greater good. When the NAZIs occupied the Netherlands during the second World War, resistance took many forms. For these ladies of liberty, it took on a violent and righteous resistance. Hannie Schaft, Freddie and Truus Oversteegen were known to on occasion to use their beauty to lure NAZI soldiers to their deaths, but that hardly scratches the surface of these courageous women. This week on Well, I Laughed we take a moment to appreciate these fearless freedom fighters.   00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:23:07 Lady Liberty 00:34:04 The Oversteegen Girls 00:43:30 First Acts of War & Rebellion 01:00:28 Here is your mission, should you choose to accept it 01:10:04 Meet the Team 01:15:17 Learning the Dirty Work 01:33:52 Beginning of the End 02:04:14 Remembering Hannie "Jo" Schaft 02:08:54 Living After the War 02:17:26 Recognition...

    149: Bear Buffet [In the Dark pt.2: Henrietta "Hank" the Tank]

    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.     00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:26:02 Bear Buffet 00:32:30 The Caldor Fire 00:41:56 Understanding the Bears 00:58:41 Meet 'Hank the Tank' 01:12:59 Kings Beach Bear 01:15:41 Back to Hank 01:21:52 Capture 01:28:53 More Bears 01:35:20 Legacy 01:37:31 A Bear Has Entered My 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.

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

    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.   00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:28:50 Maia asks Grant questions about US/Iran 00:44:12 Wait for Me 01:09:25 The Night of the Sinking 01:34:48 Arrival & Heartbreak 01:46:13 After the Sinking   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.
