Yeah, That Happened

52 - Ghostbusting and Slander

Who you gonna call? Probably not us. This week we're ushering in the most wonderful time of the year with a couple of ghost stories. We definitely accuse (probably falsely) someone of murder while Joyce talks about the many wives of William Haymond and how many of them are still hanging around at the super scary Haymond House in Sutton West Virginia. Also, Joyce is definitely going to be a paranormal investigator. Then we ask the age old question of "Can demons be cherubic?" while Nikki retells the story of the Sallie House in Atchison Kansas.

Get cozy, sip on some pumpkin spice, and get spooky with us. 

51 - Whyyy

This week we check in on Nikkis roof and Joyce's mental health - either of which could be blown over at any moment.  Also, our truly terrible accents are back!

We're discussing why is France? And Joyce gets necromagous while telling us some of the more interesting parts of French rules about marrying someone who has already died. Which is a thing? 

Then Nikki tells us about L'inconnue de la seine, the woman who would eventually go on to be immortalised as rescusi-annie. 

Get your applause signs lit up and head down to the morgue for this one...

50 - Oh, nuts!

Milk, milk, lemonade, in the back scams are made. We've finally figured out technology and are back with a fan picked episode!!! Joyce is unwholesome in her rage about Urine Therapy. Maybe set the coffee down for this one? Then put your goat in the backyard while Nikki tell us about (not a) Doctor John Brinkley and his Glandular Therapy. We'll be discussing the importance of parental me time, ensuring you always finish your drink while it's warm, and early viral marketing tactics. 

Witchy Woman #7

Boil Boil Toil And Trouble, that's right - it's Witchy Woman time! Join us for Joyce's last night in New Zealand where we get the witchiest we possibly can. Nikki reads some cards and tells Joyce her future and then we talk about Lady Glamis, who absolutely was not a witch. Very auspicious. 

Death Becomes Us

Another mornins morning all around! We have a plethora of ways to expire in store for you today. We're talking unusual deaths throughout history. Joyce brings us a tale of hot pokers and falling turtles. Nikki tells us about the Rasputin of the Bronx, Mike Malloy. A man who just wouldn't die, despite everyone's best efforts. Including her worst Irish accent. You've been warned.

 

AND there's a spooky update on Front Room Phil, who does not understand personal boundaries!

47 - Stressed Out, Anxious, and Undercaffienated

Grab your coffee, or your martini - we're back (after a little break for the plague and technology breaking) to bring you a chat about the ladies we don't get to hear about in history class. Women in warfare. Joyce channels the 300 and talks about Artemisia of Halicarnassus, who still ended up having to look after kids. And Nikki talks about Nany of the Maroons, a Jamaican folk hero we should all know about. 

46- When life imitates art

Maybe don't get on the boat. At least not without checking to see if someone has predicted  that boat sinking. Because sometimes art imitates life a little too closely and life says "hold my beer" This week Joyce tells us about how the Titanic disaster was *definitely* predicted in a book years before it happened. Nikki is also nautical and booksy with the tragic tale of Richard Parker aboard the Mignonette. He really should have googled himself. Also, we definitely (don't) understand and figured out how to calculate nautical miles.

45 - Christmas Bonus Episode

Happy whatever you celebrate (or don't) this time of year! We're just as surprised as you are that there's a Christmas bonus episode. We're talking Charles Dickens today. Joyce is vaguely describing a Dickensian Christmas meal.... if it were done in the 70's with jelly and some super gross fondue choices. Meanwhile Nikki is talking about the man who most likely inspired Ebenezer Scrooge, John Elwes. A man so notorious for his penny pinching ways that  Scrooge himself would have felt intimidated.

44 - Of Murder Cats and Peeping Björn’s

Happy Holidays Fadoodlers! Ever think there could be more inventive ways of coercing good behaviour out of your children? Or getting them to do their chores? Well, have we got the lore for you. This week we're diving into some Christmas lore. Joyce gives us the low down on Gryla and the Yule Lads and Nikki takes it a step further by telling us about the Yule Cat, or Jolakotturinn. Iceland is getting a lot of love from us, and a lot of mispronounced words. 

43 - No, That Didn‘t Happen

Buckle up for 8746 reasons to mistrust your history teachers. Joyce tells us how Catherine the Great was not a witch or a nympho bitch. And Nikki rages about colonialism while telling us about what a turd Christopher Columbus was and why  we should be celebrating anyone but him. Polish your dick cupboard and give your vehicle a nickname, fadoodlers.

Witchy Woman #6

OOHHHHH Witchy Woman She's got flight training? Check us out being on time! This week Joyce is on Witchy Woman duty and she's talking all about the Night Witches, or the Nachthexen. This is a group of women who truly did the Lords work by terrorizing nazis. Grab a vodka, figure out your hemisphere, and learn why you should NEVER anger a Russian woman.

Polterguess Who‘s Back

We've missed you, fadoodlers! We're back in action even though gremlins or poltergeists got into all our tech this week. Joyce talks about the Wesley Poltergeist of The Old Rectory in Epworth. For once Nikki picks door number one and attempts a debunking. The worlds gone mad. Then Nikki pops tags and bottles with the story of the Herrmann family and Popper the poltergeist who inspired the 80's classic movie Poltergeist. Perform a google and grab your coffee, we're back!

40 - Never Ready

Hey Fadoodlers, here's a very special episode full of dropkick worthy hotel ghosts including creepy kids and a slowly appearing maid. Plus our Yelp review of Ghost Adventures. 

 

Nikki talks about the Belvoir Winery and Joyce talks about the Red Lion Inn. 

 

 In memory of the amazing Dan at Real Life Ghost Stories #neverready #howyoudo

39 - A maybe kidnapping and a mythical moustache.

Wisdom teeth be damned, we're back behind our mics! And this week fadoodlers, we're talking mysterious disappearances. Nikki stays on brand with the super sad story of the Sodder Children and their Christmas Eve "deaths". And Joyce takes a wide swipe at the glorious moustache that may or may not have inspired Arthur Conan Doyle, but definitely disappeared in the Amazon.  Come at us with all your theories!

 

Please remember to rate, review, and share the Franklin out of us.

38 - Petty Boys

Well team, this week we're learning why fragile egos, pettiness, and gunpowder don't mix. Joyce tells us about the Bone Wars and uses big science words. Nikki has once again tried an ill advised accent while telling us about the Pleasant Valley War. Spoiler - it wasn't a pleasant valley. And another reminder to join our new Facebook Group - Yeah That Happened Podcast Group x

37 - Heist to meet you!

Welcome back fadoodlers and history hermits! This week we're on a lighthearted topic of heists and the people who got away with it. Nikki introduces us to everyones new heroes, Ian and Kay as well as the debate about Scone vs Scone pronunciation as we hear about the liberation (return) of the Stone of Destiny. Joyce tells us a story worthy of a Jason Statham movie, or Arthur Conan Doyle, with the Bakers Street Burglary.

36 - Beware the Ornamental Hermit and other Ghostly Happenings

Join us this episode to learn why you shouldn't roofie people, the dangers of shadows, and what ice cream has to do with Elm Street. This week Joyce starts us off with the story of the super haunted Bhangarh Fort, which is so spooky you need to sign a waiver. Nikki then talks about the true nightmare on Elm Street with the story of the Stratford Knockings at Phelps Mansion. Save up all your nopes for this one, guys.

Witchy Woman #5

Gather round, collect your fadoodling ignoramuses and listen to some witchy tales about the little known Hartford Witch Trials in Connecticut. Learn all about Americas first witchcraft executions, confessions, turning into a newt, and joining giblets with the devil. It's Salem before Salem was Salem.

34 - Not your mothers nursery rhymes

Buckle up for a typically shallow dive into the dark origin of your favourite nursery rhymes! It's all murder and theft over here as Nikki tells us how Mary Mary Quite Contrary is probably about mass burnings. And how the Three Blind Mice are not the cute supporting characters Shrek would have you believe they are. Meanwhile Joyce joins in on the fun with Little Jack Horner and that isn't a plum he pulled out of the pie, it's land theft.

Ponce de NO and a couple of lost boys

Welcome back explorers and conquistadors. Nikki introduces us to OG Florida Man - Ponce de Leon who didn't find the fountain of youth and also was super murdery. Joyce sticks with the lighter side of exploration with two lost blokes in STRAYA. Grab your morning brown and learn why you should always pack two skillets.
