S4E7 - 2nd Annual Oddly True for April Fools' Day

It’s Lamar & Tom’s Second Annual Oddly True for April Fools’ Day podcast! Here’s how it works. Each tells the other three stories ripped from the headlines that are odd but true. However, the story teller changes a single detail in one of the stories making it only mostly true. The other has to correctly guess which story has been changed.

Tom’s Stories:

• Wild turkeys terrorize Wisconsin neighborhood, chase postal workers https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2026/02/05/wild-turkeys-Janesville-Wisconsin/6431770305690/
• Badger found hiding in California high school storage closet https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2026/03/12/Madera-Animal-Control-high-school-badger/5391773339110/
• N.Y. governor steps in to save resident's 'PB4WEGO' license plate https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2026/02/26/license-plate-PB4WEGO-Gov-Kathy-Hochul/3131772123934/

Lamar’s Stories:

• Making your bed every morning could actually have this health drawback https://nypost.com/2025/12/08/health/making-your-bed-every-morning-could-have-this-health-drawback/

• Frozen Dead Guy Days https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_Dead_Guy_Days

• Dog Sets Guiness World Book Record for Longest Tongue https://youtu.be/gdOH5HF3rHE?si=2S2pa35T13OKIEA2

And the winner is…

Well, it’s a tie. However, in the podcast we say that Tom won. During editing he realized he had confused the story of the turkeys in Wisconsin with this story from Canada: https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2026/02/25/canada-Ottawa-turkeys-chase-man/7251772035813/

Since Lamar guessed the turkey story wasn’t quite correct, he also gets a point. So, now the score is 1 to 1. The competition continues…April Fools Day, 2027.

A 3rd Space Survey: Acts of Kindness

Do you have an act of kindness that you’d be willing to share? You can participate through a Google Forms Survey at this link: https://forms.gle/5NQakn6bgeXpm2us5

There you will find two kindness questions we’d like you to consider and then respond to:

• What is an act of kindness you’ve received that made a difference to you?

• What is an act of kindness you have done which you hope changed another person’s life?

What do we do with the acts we learn about in this survey? We save them and feature them in our Thanksgiving show each year…anonymously unless you prefer we use your name.

Finally, please share this survey because an act of kindness shared begets others.
