When Al Capone Gave Two Cherry Trees To A Baltimore Hospital

from Cool Weird Awesome with Brady Carlson · host Brady Carlson

Today in 1899 was the birthday of Al Capone. Not everyone would brag about getting a gift from the notorious gangster, but there’s a hospital in Baltimore that’s happy to share its connection. Plus: today in 1931, the birthday of James Earl Jones, legendary actor and occasional CB radio prankster.  For Union Memorial, Al Capone's tree keeps on giving (Baltimore Sun) James Earl Jones on Darth Vader, Mufasa and, natch, Totes McGotes (New York Times) Our Patreon backers planted the seeds that helped this show grow
