Old News Nonsense Vol. 9
In this hilarious volume of Old News Nonsense, we kick things off with a cheeky Halloween poem to set the tone for some old-timey absurdity. First up, we watch a ghost ship sink—because even the afterlife has navigational issues.
Then, we get a listener update on the wild witch-woman who terrorized Los Angeles, adding some spicy twists to the already bizarre tale. We'll swing by a winged monkey statue's triumphant return to Emerald City, followed by a sweet saga of spilled honey that left highway drivers literally in a sticky situation.
Things take a ridiculous turn as we revisit the story of a couple who traded their baby for a lorry, proving that you really can trade anything if you're bold enough. From there, we jump into the pig-mania that took over Cincinnati, where the phrase “when pigs fly” was suddenly more fact than fiction.
We'll look back at some epic Halloween pranks gone way too far, leaving behind grumpy neighbors and smashed décor. And to wrap things up, we dive into the slippery world of illegal reptiles—because who doesn’t love a story involving snakes sneaking their way into U.S. zoos?
Perfect for when you need a break from the serious stuff, Old News Nonsense delivers history’s most laughable moments, one absurd story at a time!
