46 – Ada Blackjack, Castro Gameshow
Description
Today’s episode has our first LISTENER SUBMITTED STORY! Sent in by Brother Trebius on twitter, tune in for the tale of Ada Blackjack, the lone survivor of a doomed arctic expedition. Ada, a seamstress who joined the expedition so that she would have money to pay for her son’s tuberculosis treatment, was untrained in survival skills, yet taught herself how to live and dare we say thrive on her own in arctic condition after the rest of her party died. She became a real Robinson Crusoe figure. We pointlessly speculate on why she didn’t just ask Santa for a rescue.
Then, Noel hosts the Fidel Castro Gameshow, where Max and Jackie have to compete to figure out just how Castro escaped various insane attempts on his life by the CIA. They do not guess correctly, even once.
