Summary

In this episode, Josh Mills and Wayne McCarty cover your favorite Florida Man headlines, featuring “Florida Man Tries to Change the State Bird” and “Florida Man Pulls Off a Scuba Heist and Steals $20,000 from a Floating Restaurant.”

From there, the boys are joined by showrunner Luke West as he and Wayne confront Josh over his "dream journal," discovered under the couch in the studio. Let's unpack Josh's dreams together, gang!

Finally, the episode ends with the story of Florida Man Achille Murat—the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte—who just so happened to marry into a very famous American family.

Achille would run around outside wearing only a mosquito net, catch wild birds in downtown St. Augustine, and frequently use large fluffy dogs as napkins at his banquets. (This is all true.)

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.
