Preachers, Strippers, and Smugglers: A Wild 1987 Florida Reunion at Betts Big T
Buckle up for a rollicking ride through old Florida in this laugh-packed episode! The boys kick things off with a nostalgic nod to fire-and-brimstone Primitive Baptist preachers and scandalous stripper tales, stirring up memories of church pews and neon nights—plus a tantalizing tease of a real stripper possibly joining a future show! Then, we welcome back Tim Franklin, our 1987 classmate turned big-city lawyer, now trading courtrooms for classrooms as a small-town Florida high school teacher. Tim spills the beans on local legends, from the infamous Betts Big T truck stop to the shadowy drug smuggling empire that once ruled the nature coast. Expect hearty laughs, jaw-dropping stories, and thought-provoking reflections on how the past shapes our present. Will small-town secrets stay buried, or are some memories too wild to forget? Tune in for a dose of Southern charm and gritty history that’ll leave you craving more Old Florida lore!
