Jeff and Sam are still getting back into the swing of things after returning to work following their spectacular trip to Norway. While they're settling back into everyday life, we thought it would be the perfect time to revisit two favorite stories from the archives.
Jeff shares the unbelievable true story of Lawn Chair Larry, the California dreamer who tied weather balloons to a lawn chair and unintentionally soared thousands of feet into the sky, becoming an aviation legend in one of history's most bizarre adventures.
Then Sam tells the remarkable story of Hedy Lamarr. Celebrated as one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Lamarr was also a brilliant inventor whose groundbreaking work on frequency-hopping technology helped lay the foundation for modern wireless communications, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
We'll be back next week with an all-new episode. Until then, enjoy this look back at two extraordinary people whose stories prove that truth really is stranger than fiction.
