No you're going crazy, this is an old episode we've reposted for newer listeners. Occasionally we're going to do a Throwback Thursday Episode.  This episode originally aired on 12/21/2017. 

Everyone has a dreams they want to achieve. In the Mid 70s, a man by then name Ken Carter wanted to jump a car mile. He didn't make it, but the situation surrounding the "Super Jump" is one of the craziest car stories we've ever heard.
