177: Senator for Sale [Dynasty pt.3] Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

For almost three decades, Susan Collins has represented Maine in the Senate. During her time in Congress she has claimed to be a bipartisan warrior looking out for her state. But a recent Pro Publica investigation challenges who has Susan Collins really been serving, her constituents or herself ... or a Hawaiian company, Navatek? This week, Grant digs into the reporting to unpack how Susan Collins has used her position for years to funnel your tax dollars back into her campaign accounts. Its corruption that hasn’t been charged, its a Senator for Sale. This week, on Well, I Laughed!

176: Rage Bait [Dynasty pt.2] Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

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. This episode is about so much more than “Rage Bait”, this week on Well, I Laughed!

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? Join us next week to continue the story and dive deeper into the world of conservative media and discover the current fate of the Murdoch Family Trust. This week, on Well, I Laughed!

173: Up, Up, & Away [Tied Up pt.2] Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

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! As long as you keep it a secret from the federal government. This week we learn about one man and his quest to go Up, UP, and AWAY, on Well, I Laughed.

172: Manacled Mormon [Tied Up pt.1] Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

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.

170: Rob the Dog, Dawg [DIY pt.2] Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

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

169: ADHD Architect [DIY pt.1: Sarah Winchester and the Winchester Mystery House] Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

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. But was she haunted by ghosts, boredom, earthquakes, or more? Find out this week on Well, I Laughed.
