Summary

In this episode, Josh Mills and Wayne McCarty are joined by community manager Jordan Westberg to discuss how one Florida Man discovered laser pointers later in life, while another Florida Woman started a medical practice to provide her friends with drugs. The boys read some listener mail and offer life-changing advice before diving deep into the story of the hypnotic pastor of Vernon, Florida, who may or may not have persuaded an entire town to fall into his trap.

Each week, the Florida Men on Florida Man podcast blends comedy with the fascinating legends, lore, and history of the wildest state in the union—Florida.
