Intro
On this week’s episode, Mookie tells the tale of the bovine cargo spotted going through the McDonald’s drive thru while Erica highlights the lives of two women who may have been our last link to the Civil War.
Hungry Cow!
Wisconsin woman Jessica Nelson stunned the internet with a video she took of a car ahead of her in McDonald’s. What was unique about this car was its cargo… This sedan, not a trailer, car had calves (that’s right, baby cows) hangin out in the backseat!
That’s Civil!
2020 was a CRAZY year. Not only did we all have to figure out Instacart, but the world lost two ladies with a special connection. Irene Triplett was the last living US Civil War pensioner and Helen Viola Jackson was the widow of a Civil War soldier! Does that blow your mind? Cuz it did mine!
