146: Hunter Hill: Parents Met on Family Feud, Grandpa Was CIA | The Wayback with Ryan Sickler #146
SPONSOR: Talkiatry -Head to Talkiatry.com/WAYBACK and complete the short assessment to get matched with an in‑network psychiatrist in just a few minutes. This week, comedian Hunter Hill hops in The Wayback and we head to 1980s/90s Los Angeles for one of the wildest family stories we’ve ever heard! Hunter tells the story of how his parents met competing against each other on Family Feud and how host Richard Dawson was so taken with his mom that he wrote her a love poem and asked her out. And yes, we have the actual poem! Then he shares how he and his sister discovered their grandfather’s secret life in the CIA, including his pivotal role on the Glomar Explorer - a ship that was designed to covertly retrieve the sunken Soviet Golf II-class ballistic missile submarine K-129!
