Jonestown
Hey Tater Tots!This episode is a bit longer as we brush against some points from the Jonestown tragedy. Please note that this episode speaks of suicide, child death and captivity, as well as cults and other topics that can be upsetting. Listen at your own risk. We do not dive heavily into this topic, just graze over the transitions from compound to compound and discuss the spiral into psychosis that Jim Jones clearly suffered.We love you all and hope to hear from you soon. See you next week!  Wifey & Wifey Facebook: SofaSpuds.comTwitter: @SpudsSofaPatreon: patreon.com/sofaspudshistory--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PROOF OF LICENSESubject to your compliance with our terms of use, Soundstripe Inc. grants Linette Llewellyn a perpetual, non-exclusive, nonsublicensable and nontransferable license to download,reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform and display the song Dewdroppahsolely as combined with your work of authorship, titled Jonestown, for you rbusiness purposes.

Colonel Sanders

Colonel Sanders
Hey, Tater Tots! Do you love chicken? So do we. Lyn watched the new Lifetime movie about Colonel Sanders love interest. I did not. I refused to watch it - the thought terrifies me. Listen in while she tells me about it, though. Based on my reaction when she was telling me about it tells me all I need to know about attempting to actually watch it.And, you know, the leak of the Colonel's recipe for his chicken breading used to be a fireable and even legally actionable offense. It may still be, but there are thousands of "copy cat" recipes out there that are extremely similar to each other. Have you made any of this KFC "original recipe" chicken breading? Let us know! Wifey & Wifey Facebook: SofaSpuds.comTwitter: @SpudsSofaPatreon: patreon.com/sofaspudshistory--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PROOF OF LICENSESubject to your compliance with our terms of use, Soundstripe Inc. grants Linette Llewellyn a perpetual, non-exclusive, nonsublicensable and nontransferable license to download,reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform and display the song Dewdroppahsolely as combined with your work of authorship, titled Colonel Sanders, for you rbusiness purposes.

Emperor Norton I
Hey, Tater Tots!Have a listen and learn about a very interesting individual, Emperor Norton I of the America. What? Yes, really. Kind of. It's a heartwarming story from a fellow in the 1800s in San Francisco, who won over the hearts of many who lived there. There's SO much food that comes originally from San Fransisco, too...but we narrowed it down to just a couple random ones that we thought sounded fantastic! Thank you for listening, and don't forget to share with your friends!
