comedy4cast: Bottle With A Message

from Friday Follies · host Jack Ward

Ancient bottle, unexpected message, modern laughs! Get ready for another dose of the delightfully bizarre! In this edition of our month-long Odd News PAC series, we bring you a true story that proves reality is often stranger, and far funnier, than fiction. Imagine this – a faded glass bottle washes ashore, containing a message that could easily be from days long past. What secrets does it hold? A desperate plea? A historical revelation? Or something far more unexpectedly hilarious? Researchers are about to find out. Listen to "Bottle With A Message" to discover the surprising truth behind this curious find. Let's just say it involves a well-known spirit. And not the ghostly kind. Oh, and if you know your 1990's dance crazes, that might be a big help. This is one comedic unraveling you won't want to miss! Plus, we continue to celebrate 20 years of comedy4cast. In this episode, our Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC) clip was first released in October of 2005. This one will transport you to a retro-futuristic world. Have you ever wondered what "tomorrow" looked like from a 1950s perspective? Prepare for a wonderfully misguided, incredibly funny journey through antiquated predictions of work, school, and even movie nights!Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
