Morning Crankers: Monkey Trades, Torpedo Bats & Spinach Artichoke Skins

Hold onto your coffee, folks—this episode of Morning Crankers is an all-you-can-eat buffet of bizarre headlines, hot grill recipes, and hilarious history! We kick things off with a mouthwatering spin on potato skins—Spinach Artichoke Potato Skins—perfect for your Weber grill cookout. Then we spiral into the strange as we uncover the story of a woman who tried to trade her foster child for a monkey (no, really). In our fan-favorite Crankers Drunk History segment, we uncork the French-Mexican Pastry War—where flaky croissants sparked cannon fire! Meanwhile, a helicopter crash in the Hudson, a 74-year-old declared dead wakes up at her own funeral, and a California woman is rescued from a sewer (again—no joke). Plus: Ken Griffey Jr. trades the bat for a camera 📸 Wisconsin man fakes his own death Torpedo bats!? Yup, that’s a thing. It's weird, it's wild, and it’s Crankers-certified comedy chaos.
