In this chapter, we trace the evolution of the haunting ‘Humans can lick too' Urban Legend. From early cautionary tales about young women alone at night through to its modern form shaped by fears of home invasion, serial killers, and the thin line between security and vulnerability in our own homes.We examine how this legend blurs folklore and reality, how it has absorbed real crimes and media scares, it's surprisingly long history, and why the simple act of a hand reaching down in the dark continues to haunt listeners long after the story is told.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com For more information on the show, to find all our social accounts and to ensure you are up to date on all we do, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lukemordue.com/podcast

“If a single camera setting can change how you see yourself, what else are you missing when you look at the world around you?” In this eye-opening episode of The JB and Sandy Show, JB, Sandy, and Tricia invite listeners to see the familiar in a whole new light—starting with the perfect selfie. Inspired by a viral Brendan Fraser moment, the hosts reveal a simple iPhone trick that transforms even the most “unphotogenic” among us. Tricia confesses, “I hope I'm the mirror version of me and not the photo version of me,” as the crew experiments with portrait mode, contour lighting, and the elusive timer feature, blending humor and humility in their quest for the ultimate self-portrait. But the episode quickly zooms out from the personal to the global. How dirty—or downright filthy—is Austin compared to the world's most notorious cities? The team dives into a surprising list of the filthiest places on earth, debating whether Budapest, Paris, or Las Vegas deserve their reputations. Tricia, a seasoned traveler, shares, “There were definitely some spots where you're like, hmm, smells like pee right here. But I mean, no worse than…New York or New Orleans.” The conversation is peppered with stories of neighborhood clean-up heroes, the realities of urban life, and the quirks of city rankings. From there, the show takes a nostalgic and sometimes hilarious turn into schoolyard memories—when “getting a lick” from the principal was a real possibility—and the strange wisdom of the Farmer's Almanac. The hosts question the science (or lack thereof) behind long-range weather predictions, marveling at the Almanac's “secret formula” and the enduring power of folklore. “They claim an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent. I'm going with Jim Spencer over the farmer man,” Sandy jokes, as the group debates whether to trust meteorologists or the bushiness of a squirrel's tail.Other highlights include:The world's cleanest cities and the surprising return of caning in Singapore.Animal instincts and what squirrels can teach us about preparing for winter.Tornado drills, childhood fears, and the unpredictability of Texas weather.With sharp wit, relatable stories, and a dash of curiosity, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond the surface—whether it's a selfie, a city, or a weather forecast. You'll laugh, you'll reminisce, and you might just see the world a little differently.Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments“I hope I'm the mirror version of me and not the photo version of me.”“There were definitely some spots where you're like, hmm, smells like pee right here.”“They claim an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent.

In this chapter, we trace the story of the so called 'Frozen Hill People' from 19th century Vermont newspaper accounts and family scrapbooks to modern retellings in magazines, folklore collections, and online media, asking where it sits between rural desperation, hoax, and horror. We separate what can be verified from what was likely invented, and explore why the idea of humans placed into a kind of living hibernation still fascinates us in an age of cryonics and medical hypothermia. To many, the Frozen Hill People are another Urban Legend, but for those who return to the story each winter, they are a reminder of how far people imagine they might go when the cold closes in.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com For more information on the show, to find all our social accounts and to ensure you are up to date on all we do, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lukemordue.com/podcast

This week Dart Adams and Paul Gagliardi drop in to talk about the history behind the 1992 cult classic and why we love it so damn much. About our guests:Dart Adams is a historian, journalist and a lecturer from Boston, MA. His work has appeared in various online & print publications including Complex, NPR, Mass Appeal, Okayplayer, DJ Booth, Hip Hop Wired, The Urban Daily, The Vinyl Factory, uDiscover Music, Urban Legends, LEVEL, Ebony, Rock The Bells, Andscape (ESPN), Bay State Banner, Boston Globe Magazine, and Boston Magazine. He's also the owner/operator of independent imprint label Producers I Know/Fat Beats and host of Dart Against Humanity and the Boston Legends Podcast.Dr. Paul Gagliardi is an associate teaching professor at Marquette University. His primary fields of research are twentieth-century American cultural studies, drama and performance studies, labor studies, and film studies.  And his research focuses on the intersection between economic calamity, theories of work and labor, and the performative art people produce during eras like the Great Depression.  In his courses, he emphasizes understanding the historical, social, and cultural context of texts, but also now our contemporary readings problematize literature.  He also fosters interdisciplinary dialogue between all fields in his courses, and supports students with both their academic and professional goals.His book, All Play and No Work:  American Work Ideals and the Comic Plays of the Federal Theatre Project (Temple University Press, 2023), examines how select comedies produced by the federal government during the Great Depression portrayed complicated norms of working and labor.  I argue that many plays actually subverted norms of traditional labor or promoted alternative forms of working to audiences during the 1930s.  My writing on the Federal Theatre Project and other subjects, such as confidence artists and literature or other theater studies, has appeared in such outlets as Journal of American Drama and Threatre, Middle West Review, and Howlround, and I have a forthcoming chapter on portrayals of unions in pro wrestling.  My current research project examines the cultural history of ice-skating shows in the United States and Canada in the 20th Century, focusing on how shows like the Ice Follies and Ice Capades intersected with sports and theater, as well as how they promoted and challenged gender norms.
