This week on High-Dere we celebrate Ian's 30th birthday and press our luck
with a creepy story that we've decided to write and develop into a script.
Ian starts the show by taking us through the 1984 story of Michael Larson,
the legendary Press Your Luck game show winner, who took home a whopping
$110,237 after figuring out the pattern of the game to avoid the
bankrupting Whammies… or did he? We take a sharp turn down humanity street
by questioning the motives behind those defunding Planned Parenthood while
reflecting on the powerful magic of words and how it effects those around
us.
We wrap things up with a challenge by igniting our creative brains into a
frenzy over Olivia Mabel's death and how we're going to fill in the gaps as
to how we think she met her end. All this and more on Episode 53 of
High-Dere!
Shout Out to Greg Proops, Fields Afire and, of course, Dave Foley (Michael
Larson)!
