Episode 2: Welcome to Branson: a land of hillbillies and 50-foot chickens sponsored by the Branson Chamber of Commerce (Satire Ad)
from Thoughts from the 51st State of Confusion · host Ludwik Kozlowski
Branson, Missouri - Lud likes to call it Hillbilly Vegas. Regardless of what you call it, it is a beautiful Ozark getaway in the hills of southwest Missouri where countless restaurants, tourist traps, souvenir shops, outlet stores, variety shows, beautiful scenic vistas, and lakes surround you. While the magic show acts are questionable, one thing is for certain, your money will disappear. In this show, Lud and Annette discuss their recent trip to Hillbilly Vegas and bring up some interesting signs, attractions, and items in the land of hillbillies and baldknobbers. Among the items discussed include:Why Lud will never go on an organic diet?A restaurant with a 50-foot red, white, and blue patriotic chickenA huge directional sign leading patrons to Clean Rest RoomsA gift shop that sold Amish Microwave PopcornWhy Lud now is happy that he drinks Pepsi products over Coca-Cola?We hope that you will enjoy this show and make note of our awesome sponsor the Branson Chamber of Commerce, who have an awesome Dear John Getaway for the single guy who wants to break up but does not know quite how to do it! After the broadcast join our socials on Facebook, Youtube, and x/Twitter @confusedstate51 for posts of the photos we discussed during the podcast! Please note the ad for the chamber is a skit and is satire!!!--------References:Show website: https://confusedstate51.wixsite.com/confusedstate51Follow us @confusedstate51 on Facebook, X/Twitter & YoutubeIn-depth Show notes can be found at this post: Beyond The Confusion Episode 2: Welcome to Branson: A Land of Hillbillies and 50-Foot Chickens Sponsored by the Branson Chamber of CommerceAdditional Sound effects used and Show links referenced (detailed show notes at previous link above) during show:Chickens clucking and rooster with cockadoodledoo.wav by evsecrets -- https://freesound.org/s/346961/ -- License: Creative Commons 0Diarrhea by Breviceps -- https://freesound.org/s/445997/ -- License: Creative Commons 0sfx_thunder blast.wav by bajko -- https://freesound.org/s/399656/ -- License: Creative Commons 0Baddum Tish - Comedy Rimshots - classic rim shot.wav by rodincoil -- https://freesound.org/s/271208/ -- License: Creative Commons 0cracksmackwhackdead.aiff by bevibeldesign -- https://freesound.org/s/315914/ -- License: Creative Commons 0three_facepunches by opriema -- https://freesound.org/s/783116/ -- License: Creative Commons 0https://www.melshardluckdiner.comIn case you want some Sweet Kettle Amish Microwave Popcorn (Disclaimer: We do not make any money off of this and we do not know if this is any good or not.
