Main Corpse | Ep 121 Mahoning Drive-In, Donerds & Buffalo Creek Disaster


Listen Later

This week, Matt talks about the Jim Thorpe adventure he and Britte took to vend at Mahoning Drive-In's VHS Fest X, and their concessions perfections are what they ate all weekend. They also travelled north to the historic district of Jim Thorpe, PA where they tried a hip donut cafe called Donerds. Here's what they tried:

Best popcorn in a theater ever, corn dogs, chicken and fries and dippets, pretzel nuggets and nachos with rico's cheese because you have to

Donerds: Coffee, Chocolate Chip Cannoli donut, Strawberry Pistachio donut

Then, Matt hits close to his home of Logan County. He talks about corporate true crime. Some just call it a flood. The 1972 Buffalo Creek disaster, in which slurry dams gave out under the pressure of millions of gallons of rain and coal waste, combined with years of neglect and incompetent build design. This wiped villages off the map, killed 125 people, injured 1,121, left over 4,000 homeless. Gov. Arch Moore's "investigations" were not even close to enough, and still not enough has been done for a region and a state who has given their entire lives over to coal.

The Creeps also talk about too much filling, their high count episodes, popcorn kernel technology, videotapes, Matt's usual PA Haterade, Taco Bell lettuce, and family ties to coal industries. Note: there's some echo on this one but that just means you get to hear our lovely Creep voices twice!
