On today's very special "return-to-Africa" episode, all people wanted to do was get to work, but the weather got bad to the point where the road said "you shall not pass, your life is in danger". The train took a look at all this and said, "hold my beer”.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> you will learn how the location of today’s story sounds toasty and hot to the uninitiated, but is actually one of the wettest places on earth; we will describe a claustrophobic and unenviable situation somewhere between the roller-skating in the back of the truck stunt from Jackass combined with the trash compactor scene from Star Wars; and I will actually say that no one choo choo chooses to be in today’s kind of disaster, which I only call out early to ask for your forgiveness.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon:</b> you would learn about the US military’s ambitions to turn its enemies into bee-coated, gay, diarrhea fanatics, and how they inspired Mikkos Cassadine’s aims of destroying the world in the 1980s; we’ll visit a place so rainy that you will have no choice but to assume I’m lying; and we’ll walk through a list of all the different, awful things that can happen to your spine. <br />Also, at the end of this episode, I’m going to announce the results of a naming contest we held for our hungry gorilla friend, and I will share the story behind it, which, fair warning, is extremely emotional.<br /><br />People describe travel by rail as a romantic way to see the landscape. Well, I don’t know so much about that, but in this very special and intimate episode, a lot of people were brought closer together. <br /><br />I wanted to shout out Joyce Mokou Kontcheu (ask how to pronounce) who sent me my very first fan mail from Africa! That’s a big deal for me. This was one of those rare occasions where a starter disaster perfectly sets the stage for a much worse secondary disaster. I call it a cascading infrastructure failure. She called it a careless disaster that could have been avoided with a little common sense. She truly hoped I would cover it, so yes, of course I did. Merci, Joyce.<br /><br />And I didn’t have time to record a quick thing for our June Birthdays, so I wanted to shout out Charles Jewell and Kerry Ann Borthwick for another year around spinning around the sun in an otherwise cold and indifferent universe, wishing them a little birthday cheer, and thanks again to Hydra Corvi again for helping me with a little research on this one. <br /><br />From here we’re back in my hometown just long enough to make a little fun of the World Cup before jetting off to beautiful Corsica to watch the beautiful game and have a high statical chance of getting very, very hurt. Spoiler, in the safety segment, I’m going to tell you what to do if not-only are you impaled on a pole, but suspended above the ground by it like a bug pinned to a wall.

Of all the episodes and stories we’ve shared on this show before, this is the one story you would absolutely not want to appreciate in high-detail slow-mo.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode: </b>you’ll find out how cholera and typhoid-laced fart water led to the reinvention of one of the world’s cleverest and most innovative cities; you will find out why crapping on music could technically be considered a kind of self-care; and although you’re missing the context now, I’m going to advise you to potentially remove your fingernails at some point, and you might surprise yourself by agreeing<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear the beloved tale of a potentially made-up cow that got the jimmy legs and vaporized a city; you would visit the most literally and purposefully vomit-inducing statue ever erected; and you would learn the fascinating history of transportation-based toilets. <br /><br />Today’s episode was <i>supposed</i> to be another minisode, but in the new-standing tradition, so much for that. It was also <i>supposed</i> to be bloodless, which it was, but it still managed to be incredibly disturbing and upsetting without it. I make that point that if we had dropped 800 lbs of <i>blood</i> on people, you would have been easier to get over. <br /><br />You ever hear of the 2008 case of a man experiencing severe untreated psychosis, attacked and decapitating his seat mate on a Greyhound Bus with a hunting knife in Manitoba, Canada? I believe the Dave Matthews Poop Bus Disaster of 2004 is far worse. <br /><br />I would want the members and families of the Dave Matthews band know I mean all this in good fun. Much better fun than the 120 people who ate 800 lbs of fudge from the sky on that August day. Again, good fun. I finish the episode with a few shoutouts. I also want to thank Hydra Corvi and Kerry-Ann Borthwick for helping me behind the scenes with a little inspiration. And as far as shout-outs go. <br /><br />On the next episode, I will be announcing the results of our Gorilla Naming Contest, and the explanation should be heart warming as hell.

Among the many gifts it bestows upon us, being able to survive colder climates is one of them. As you will soon see, in today’s episode, that will not be an issue.        <br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:  </b>you’ll hear about one of the deadliest and most destructive forces on the planet can play a kind of peekaboo and then grow 300 feet tall and make you foul yourself; you will learn what the actual deadliest animals in Australia are (and number one will surprise you); and you’ll learn how one species of tree evolved in a way that makes it want to die as dramatically as possible. <br /><b><br />And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear the story of how living dinosaurs defeated one of the world’s most experienced and battle-hardened armies; you would have a chance to meet the tallest and least flammable living thing on earth; and you would learn why arsonists are the stupidest, most selfish, and potentially even racist people you may ever meet, and how to disable one if you ever do.<br /><br />I wasn’t lying when I say I have a soft spot in my heart for Australia. In an alternate timeline, you are listening to this podcast with a slightly adopted Australian accent because I live there happily – and avoiding bushfires seemingly semi-annually. Today, Australians make up a big chunk of my listenership and I want to send more love your way. Step one was this love letter to their kiln-dried country.<br /><br />As a Canadian, we enjoy the fear in foreigner’s eyes when confronted face-to-face with a Canadian Goose, so as a fellow Commonwealth country, Australia feels like it’s wallpapered in people’s eight-legged, claw and toothed, venom spitting fears from airport to autopsy. It is my honour and delight to introduce non-native listeners to a whole new area of fear they’ve never even considered.<br /><br />And in spite of all the biting and kicking and venom and fire and hooves and claws and the laundry list of things that will go out of their way to make you stop taking pictures, <i>and breaths</i>, I still love to visit one day. If I never get to meet you, just know that I wish I could, and when tourists arrive asking about Drop Bears, be gentle with them.<br /><br /><b></b><br /><b>––––– </b> <br /><br />THANK YOU.

Among the many gifts it bestows upon us, being able to survive colder climates is one of them. As you will soon see, in today’s episode, that will not be an issue.        <br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:  </b>you’ll hear about one of the deadliest and most destructive forces on the planet can play a kind of peekaboo and then grow 300 feet tall and make you foul yourself; you will learn what the actual deadliest animals in Australia are (and number one will surprise you); and you’ll learn how one species of tree evolved in a way that makes it want to die as dramatically as possible. <br /><b><br />And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear the story of how living dinosaurs defeated one of the world’s most experienced and battle-hardened armies; you would have a chance to meet the tallest and least flammable living thing on earth; and you would learn why arsonists are the stupidest, most selfish, and potentially even racist people you may ever meet, and how to disable one if you ever do.<br /><br />I wasn’t lying when I say I have a soft spot in my heart for Australia. In an alternate timeline, you are listening to this podcast with a slightly adopted Australian accent because I live there happily – and avoiding bushfires seemingly semi-annually. Today, Australians make up a big chunk of my listenership and I want to send more love your way. Step one was this love letter to their kiln-dried country.<br /><br />As a Canadian, we enjoy the fear in foreigner’s eyes when confronted face-to-face with a Canadian Goose, so as a fellow Commonwealth country, Australia feels like it’s wallpapered in people’s eight-legged, claw and toothed, venom spitting fears from airport to autopsy. It is my honour and delight to introduce non-native listeners to a whole new area of fear they’ve never even considered.<br /><br />And in spite of all the biting and kicking and venom and fire and hooves and claws and the laundry list of things that will go out of their way to make you stop taking pictures, <i>and breaths</i>, I still love to visit one day. If I never get to meet you, just know that I wish I could, and when tourists arrive asking about Drop Bears, be gentle with them.<br /><br /><b></b><br /><b>––––– </b> <br /><br />THANK YOU.

But on today’s episode, you will learn, as it turns out, we’ve catastrophically underestimated it.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode: </b>we’ll visit a postcard perfect country that’s ridiculously beautiful from top to bottom, but on a map looks vaguely testicular and chewed; you will walk through the history of cheese before sampling a platter of the world’s most nauseating varieties; and not to spoil anything, but today’s story is going to spiral into a kind of three-fer episode of flame-fueled claustrophobia.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear a short story of how a spiky Asian football turned my stomach inside out; you would learn how we’ve been preprogrammed by invisible senses that tell us everything from how many fingers we have to how much vomit you might need to project; and you would hear the story of the gigantic wheel of cheese that haunted the White House for years. <br /><br />We start this episode talking about some of the funkiest edibles to be found anywhere in the world, and recapping how many of them have killed people on this show. I’ll be the first to admit we use a pretty broad definition of “edible”, but the food product headlining today’s story is as traditional and straight-forward as food gets. We’re going to spend some time with a cheese called Brunost that is so sweet and giddyingly bad for you, many people think of it as more of a kid’s treat. <br /><br />You’ve probably never had the chance to try it yourself, but one of my best friends in public school was from Norway, and we regularly used to steal it from his dad, and I admit that this may have played a small part in his parent’s divorce, so for that, I am sorry. <br /><br />Now, I don’t know what your relationship with cheese is like, but I love the stuff. I don’t care if it’s from the UK or Scandinavia or India or where it comes from. As long as it came out of a cow and didn’t AIR BNB larva or age inside a skull or whatever separates “everyday cheeses” from “emotionally demanding cheeses”. I’m not saying I grew up with posters of cheese wheels all over my bedroom, I’m just not saying I didn’t is all. The worst thing I’ve ever seen it do is cause my old friend Larry to fart so hard he ended up in the hospital – he was fine, have no fear.

Spoiler: mountains can cook and kill people. Don’t say this podcast doesn’t teach you things. <br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:  </b>you will learn why Frankenstein was more graceful on stolen corpse feet than you are in snowboots; you’ll learn why diagonal tunnels basically act as nature’s secret logistical flamethrowers; and we’ll see how a $40 appliance permanently derailed a $30-million-a-year alpine operation and changed European history.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear about the industrial accident that unearthed the entire history of humanity in Western Europe; you would hear about all the terrible things that happened to the last King of England to die in battle before and after he actually died (spoiler: most of the injuries were after); and if you don’t know the story, we’ll tell you how Dionysus gave Damocles PTSD.<br /><br />This is one of those bad day at work/bad holiday episodes where everything that could have helped along the way was too expensive, and the one thing that was supposed to help someone was so cheap, it killed almost everybody. We’re going to learn a lot about just how weird and active fire can be. Most people picture fire like this: Flames burn, heat rises, you step back. That’s fine, if it’s burning in a free and open space. You have no chance of being suffocated by it, and it’s easy to play keep away with. In an open-air fire, heat rises and disperses, oxygen flows in from every which way, and the smoke just carries away on the breeze. In today’s fire, not so much. We will be facing less of a camp fire and more of a blow torch. <br /><br />This episode also marks our return to the European Alps, where we will discover an entirely different way of being afraid of mountains, so that’s fun! And as long as we’re learning to be afraid of new things, we’re <i>also</i> going to look at how everything around us, from the things we sit on to the clothes we wear, all break down into vaporized toxins that will absolutely make for not so good think before shutting you off for good. This is also an episode that extends our philosophy that any “vehicle” could double as a coffin, and funicular is a vehicle we’ve never explored before.<br /><br /><br /><b>–––––<br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Spoiler: mountains can cook and kill people. Don’t say this podcast doesn’t teach you things. <br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:  </b>you will learn why Frankenstein was more graceful on stolen corpse feet than you are in snowboots; you’ll learn why diagonal tunnels basically act as nature’s secret logistical flamethrowers; and we’ll see how a $40 appliance permanently derailed a $30-million-a-year alpine operation and changed European history.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear about the industrial accident that unearthed the entire history of humanity in Western Europe; you would hear about all the terrible things that happened to the last King of England to die in battle before and after he actually died (spoiler: most of the injuries were after); and if you don’t know the story, we’ll tell you how Dionysus gave Damocles PTSD.<br /><br />This is one of those bad day at work/bad holiday episodes where everything that could have helped along the way was too expensive, and the one thing that was supposed to help someone was so cheap, it killed almost everybody. We’re going to learn a lot about just how weird and active fire can be. Most people picture fire like this: Flames burn, heat rises, you step back. That’s fine, if it’s burning in a free and open space. You have no chance of being suffocated by it, and it’s easy to play keep away with. In an open-air fire, heat rises and disperses, oxygen flows in from every which way, and the smoke just carries away on the breeze. In today’s fire, not so much. We will be facing less of a camp fire and more of a blow torch. <br /><br />This episode also marks our return to the European Alps, where we will discover an entirely different way of being afraid of mountains, so that’s fun! And as long as we’re learning to be afraid of new things, we’re <i>also</i> going to look at how everything around us, from the things we sit on to the clothes we wear, all break down into vaporized toxins that will absolutely make for not so good think before shutting you off for good. This is also an episode that extends our philosophy that any “vehicle” could double as a coffin, and funicular is a vehicle we’ve never explored before.<br /><br /><br /><b>–––––<br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Also, this came out about 30% shorter than a regular episode, so they’re not-so-minisodes. No matter.<br /><br />I was going to add a cooking segment to today’s story, but opted for the quick and benign details of an open-air BBQ that flambés metric tons of food a lot quicker and grosser than you’d think. I settled for the details of the worst nature hike anyone’s ever attempted on this show. And that includes the students of Wolf Creek and the Uruguayan Rugby Team. Gun safety will play an important role in our story too.

Well try to imagine a field trip where you look up and all your old relatives are waving you into a tunnel of white light. <b><br /><br />On today’s very special milestone 100th Episode:  </b>you’ll hear about my school trip to a French strip club; you would learn about a man of God who unintentionally brought a flock of young faithful to meet him; and you will see why I believe riding through a tornado would be somehow less frightening and uncomfortable than the rigors of today’s story.<br /><br /><b>And if you had been listening on Patreon</b>… you would learn how a single school trip shaped my entire world view while listening to Chaka Khan; you would hear about some of the worst ways people have finished school trips unexpectedly early; you would learn about the fake US president who died from the largest landslide ever recorded in human history; and you would learn how today’s tragedy could have prevented by simple diarrhea. <br /><br />I mentioned the Oregon Trail earlier in this episode, specifically the Oregon Trail video game from the 80s. It was made as a learning tool about decision making and resource management, but it also teaches that you can do everything right and still die. It’s an important thing to remember, and beyond that, this episode taught me how one very young brush with death became the moment this show was born – I just didn’t know it yet. It’s a long story, and I preserved it for Patreon. For them, I also finished the episode with Chaka Khan’s “I Feel For You”, to let you judge just how much or how little it feels like the jam you would have wanted to die to.<br /><br />I mention two things at the end of the episode. First I wanted to call out Kala and her husband Ben for kind of exercisming things at Funeral Kazoo and looking to do some cool stuff for future of the show. Ben, being a native of the American Northwest, yelled in my face that he wanted an episode from this land we've never visited. I said, Ben, I'll get you your dead children, watch me go – and here we are. I'm never happy when a story involves the death of children, but almost half of the would-be victims bailed with cramps and gas and all sorts of things and unknowingly saved themselves from making today's story worse. The second thing was that I would post a very short video on Patreon for paid and unpaid members to hopefully see grief in a different way. I'm going to encourage you to stop thinking of your life as a straight-line journey from cradle to grave and more like a tree, spinning around the sun every year, growing and maturing and changing from the inside-out. I want you to think about grief like a roadblock you keep having to hurdle, that gets just a little bit easier with every try. Head over the <a href="http://Patreon.com/funeralkazoo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patreon.com/funeralkazoo</a>, sign up as a free member and give it a try. If it helps, I’m overjoyed. <br /><br />Celebrity guest stars include listener of the show and snowcat un-enthusiast, Jeremy Renner; 33rd president of the United States, Harry Truman; local area moron and head wound collector, Homer Simpson; and 80s dance floor filler, Chaka Khan.<br /><br /><br /><b>–––––<br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Well try to imagine a field trip where you look up and all your old relatives are waving you into a tunnel of white light. <b><br /><br />On today’s very special milestone 100th Episode:  </b>you’ll hear about my school trip to a French strip club; you would learn about a man of God who unintentionally brought a flock of young faithful to meet him; and you will see why I believe riding through a tornado would be somehow less frightening and uncomfortable than the rigors of today’s story.<br /><br /><b>And if you had been listening on Patreon</b>… you would learn how a single school trip shaped my entire world view while listening to Chaka Khan; you would hear about some of the worst ways people have finished school trips unexpectedly early; you would learn about the fake US president who died from the largest landslide ever recorded in human history; and you would learn how today’s tragedy could have prevented by simple diarrhea. <br /><br />I mentioned the Oregon Trail earlier in this episode, specifically the Oregon Trail video game from the 80s. It was made as a learning tool about decision making and resource management, but it also teaches that you can do everything right and still die. It’s an important thing to remember, and beyond that, this episode taught me how one very young brush with death became the moment this show was born – I just didn’t know it yet. It’s a long story, and I preserved it for Patreon. For them, I also finished the episode with Chaka Khan’s “I Feel For You”, to let you judge just how much or how little it feels like the jam you would have wanted to die to.<br /><br />I mention two things at the end of the episode. First I wanted to call out Kala and her husband Ben for kind of exercisming things at Funeral Kazoo and looking to do some cool stuff for future of the show. Ben, being a native of the American Northwest, yelled in my face that he wanted an episode from this land we've never visited. I said, Ben, I'll get you your dead children, watch me go – and here we are. I'm never happy when a story involves the death of children, but almost half of the would-be victims bailed with cramps and gas and all sorts of things and unknowingly saved themselves from making today's story worse. The second thing was that I would post a very short video on Patreon for paid and unpaid members to hopefully see grief in a different way. I'm going to encourage you to stop thinking of your life as a straight-line journey from cradle to grave and more like a tree, spinning around the sun every year, growing and maturing and changing from the inside-out. I want you to think about grief like a roadblock you keep having to hurdle, that gets just a little bit easier with every try. Head over the <a href="http://Patreon.com/funeralkazoo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patreon.com/funeralkazoo</a>, sign up as a free member and give it a try. If it helps, I’m overjoyed. <br /><br />Celebrity guest stars include listener of the show and snowcat un-enthusiast, Jeremy Renner; 33rd president of the United States, Harry Truman; local area moron and head wound collector, Homer Simpson; and 80s dance floor filler, Chaka Khan.<br /><br /><br /><b>–––––<br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

And to clarify, when I say nothing, I mean because that’s not something that anyone has ever said before.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> we’ll see how the former digs of axe murderers and corpse thieves and child labour body pits became one of the most beautiful green spaces in London; we’ll learn why early ice skates were only marginally more comfortable than being eaten by wolves; and we’ll learn why Victorian fashion doubled as de facto funeral attire with the addition of simple water.<br /><br /><b>And because you are listening on Patreon…</b> you’ll hear about how early animal captivity turned one man into a bloody Stretch Armstrong doll, complete with blood spray effects; you will learn how the Dutch invented a new high-speed form of knife-fighting and ice skates for horses; and you will hear how London had a unique form of Winter Fair that only closed up for the year once people started drowning.<br /><br />There’s no risk of drowning in feces or burning to death in today’s story, so in a way this is our nicest visit to Victorian England we’ve ever attempted – you’re welcome. But that said, we’re going to see how everything from your hobbies to your clothes wanted you dead. And I don’t want to spoil anything, but by the time we’re finishing up, you’re going to wonder just how often the same thing can happen again and again. I don’t want your takeaway to be fear, I want it to be hope and empowerment, acknowledging even the most frightening situations are not guaranteed death sentences. As one of my favourite listeners says, “you’re not dead till you’re warm and dead”. <br /><br />This is our last normal episode of the year. A year that will have brought you more than 934 minutes of content and laid 23,589 corpses at your feet. Not bad if I do say so myself. The next episode will be our Christmas disaster movies ode, and for you guys I’m turning it into a video! <br /><br /><b><br />––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

And to clarify, when I say nothing, I mean because that’s not something that anyone has ever said before.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> we’ll see how the former digs of axe murderers and corpse thieves and child labour body pits became one of the most beautiful green spaces in London; we’ll learn why early ice skates were only marginally more comfortable than being eaten by wolves; and we’ll learn why Victorian fashion doubled as de facto funeral attire with the addition of simple water.<br /><br /><b>And because you are listening on Patreon…</b> you’ll hear about how early animal captivity turned one man into a bloody Stretch Armstrong doll, complete with blood spray effects; you will learn how the Dutch invented a new high-speed form of knife-fighting and ice skates for horses; and you will hear how London had a unique form of Winter Fair that only closed up for the year once people started drowning.<br /><br />There’s no risk of drowning in feces or burning to death in today’s story, so in a way this is our nicest visit to Victorian England we’ve ever attempted – you’re welcome. But that said, we’re going to see how everything from your hobbies to your clothes wanted you dead. And I don’t want to spoil anything, but by the time we’re finishing up, you’re going to wonder just how often the same thing can happen again and again. I don’t want your takeaway to be fear, I want it to be hope and empowerment, acknowledging even the most frightening situations are not guaranteed death sentences. As one of my favourite listeners says, “you’re not dead till you’re warm and dead”. <br /><br />This is our last normal episode of the year. A year that will have brought you more than 934 minutes of content and laid 23,589 corpses at your feet. Not bad if I do say so myself. The next episode will be our Christmas disaster movies ode, and for you guys I’m turning it into a video! <br /><br /><b><br />––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

The current World Record for stone skipping is 88 skips. If you were to skip a stone across the lake we’re visiting today, it would have to beat that number by about 406, 912 and it would be bouncing across the water for about three hours.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> You’ll learn about the most boat-hungry lakes anywhere in the world; you’ll see why you would rather be beaten half-to-death in the face with a bat than visit the site of today story; and you’ll find out how a cherished keepsake from our tale was recovered by a nightmarish bright orange, alien-shaped robot monster made out of airplane-grade aluminum.<br /><br /><b>And because you are listening on Patreon</b>… you will figure out if flat-earthers are just the dumbest people in the world or the dumbest people in history; you will get to walk through the deadliest things to ever happen on the Greatest Lake system in the world; and you will hear a sode inside a sode about a storm from 1913 so powerful than when they needed a name they settled on “Great”.<br /><br />We can only barely understand how frightening today’s story must have been for the men who were lost and the families they left behind. I feel a real responsibility to tell their stories with accuracy and respect knowing there are real people out there connected to the story and still wounded by it. That said, outside of calling the ship the Eddy Fitz one time, and then the way I give description to the indescribable physical hell you’d experience if you grabbed a snorkel and tried to visit the site of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I think maintained a definite air of respect during this episode. You’d be honestly surprised at how many people were so deeply touched and effected by the event. Sorry for sounding so gloomy at the end, but sometimes I get bummed out. Not as bummed as the families of those lost on Gitchi Goomie mind you. <br /><br />With all that said, there are only two more episodes in the year, but they are really something. We’ll be having our least nauseating visit to Victorian England in search of outdoor entertainment. And the last episode is our return to the Disaster Moviesode format by popular demand. The last time we did one, it was the 1998 Michael Bay schlocktacular “Armageddon” – a movie so bereft of sense or scientific consideration, they used it at NASA as a test to see how many things you could find wrong with it. Well, this time, we have a film so preposterous, it makes Armageddon look misunderstood. And it contains within it’s 2 hours and 15 minute running time almost every type of disaster, except ironically, asteroids. It's the 2003 Aaron Eckhart movie, “The Core”, and I know you’re going to like it. I saw it in the theatre, and I certainly didn’t.<br /><br /><b><br />––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

One points to a cloud and says, that cloud is shaped like a horse. Another points to a cloud and says, that one is shaped like a whale. The third man points to a mushroom-shaped cloud, and everyone dies. <br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> you’ll find out just how badly ancient China wanted nothing to do with you; you’ll learn about an explosion so large, people miles away had to clear limbs and genitals from their rooves; and you would hear about how at the time, ancient disasters were believed to be Heaven’s way of saying your Government sucked.<br /><b><br />And if you were listening on Patreon…</b> you would hear about how people were killed in the early development of explosives, including those for whom there wasn’t enough left to put a thermometer in; you would hear about the time San Francisco tried to use dynamite to fight fires, and how that didn’t go as well as you’d think; and you would hear as I climb upon my pulpit and deliver unto you a sermon on blasphemy and the special place in hell reserved for insurance adjusters.<br /><br />As one supporter who already heard this on Patreon said – "everybody Wanggongchang tonight!"<br /><br />Jesus himself will make a quick cameo in this story, and he will explain how all sins are forgivable – except for the blasphemous use of his Dad’s name by insurance adjusters, and how there’s a toasty level of hell that awaits them all. Apologies in advance if you work in insurance, but it’s better to find out now. <br /><br />The last time we visited China, we watched a sideways rocket launch that performed an incomplete orbit over the countryside before landing nose first onto its own launch centre 22 seconds later. Those were the good old days compared to today’s story, which is much older, and much more aggressive. It won’t be as gory of course, but the body count will be much more egregious. In trying to figure out this story’s rightful place in history, I had to start comparing it to meteors and super volcanoes and atomic bombs. Not to spoil anything, but this is one of the more profound disasters we’ve ever covered, and the cause was I believe, something so innocuous and dumb, I’ve done it to my cat by accident before. <br /><br /><b><br /></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

One points to a cloud and says, that cloud is shaped like a horse. Another points to a cloud and says, that one is shaped like a whale. The third man points to a mushroom-shaped cloud, and everyone dies. <br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> you’ll find out just how badly ancient China wanted nothing to do with you; you’ll learn about an explosion so large, people miles away had to clear limbs and genitals from their rooves; and you would hear about how at the time, ancient disasters were believed to be Heaven’s way of saying your Government sucked.<br /><b><br />And if you were listening on Patreon…</b> you would hear about how people were killed in the early development of explosives, including those for whom there wasn’t enough left to put a thermometer in; you would hear about the time San Francisco tried to use dynamite to fight fires, and how that didn’t go as well as you’d think; and you would hear as I climb upon my pulpit and deliver unto you a sermon on blasphemy and the special place in hell reserved for insurance adjusters.<br /><br />As one supporter who already heard this on Patreon said – "everybody Wanggongchang tonight!"<br /><br />Jesus himself will make a quick cameo in this story, and he will explain how all sins are forgivable – except for the blasphemous use of his Dad’s name by insurance adjusters, and how there’s a toasty level of hell that awaits them all. Apologies in advance if you work in insurance, but it’s better to find out now. <br /><br />The last time we visited China, we watched a sideways rocket launch that performed an incomplete orbit over the countryside before landing nose first onto its own launch centre 22 seconds later. Those were the good old days compared to today’s story, which is much older, and much more aggressive. It won’t be as gory of course, but the body count will be much more egregious. In trying to figure out this story’s rightful place in history, I had to start comparing it to meteors and super volcanoes and atomic bombs. Not to spoil anything, but this is one of the more profound disasters we’ve ever covered, and the cause was I believe, something so innocuous and dumb, I’ve done it to my cat by accident before. <br /><br /><b><br /></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

For your sake, I hope it’s from laughing. Not everyone will be so lucky.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> you’ll hear about the one part of your body I want you to consider more worthy of fiddling with than your genitals; if you’re a stickler for building codes, we’re going to take you on a beautiful, potentially one-way hike to see some shoddy-ass worksmanship; and we’ll see what makes helicopter rescues as frightening as whatever you did to earn one in the first place. <br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon…</b> I would use tales of sharks and octopuses and meth and sex toys to try and make today’s location more appealing; you would meet the surviving inductees to the No-Parachute Hall of Fame; and you would find out how the greatest construction disaster in US history inspired my idea for an OSHA Violation Ouija Board Game.<br /><br />In this episode, so you know, I was going to start by saying we have a story you’re going to fall head over heels for, but that felt like the most unintentionally disrespectful thing I’ve ever said. I’m also going to teach you the reassuring paleontological roots of why you laugh at this show. <br /><br />It is my unique pleasure to be able to take us all back to Oceana on today’s episode. I make a point about how little attention is paid to this part of the world outside of South East Asia. Actually, I make a few points about it, as I’ve done in the past as well. This is, sadly, one of those episodes were young people will die terribly, and frighteningly, but it’s also one of those stories that offers two things. First, a silver lining and legacy of change and safety, sure – but second, a chance to really get your torches and knives out for a government that dropped a ball and then walked behind it kicking it the whole way. I know a lot of listeners get a kind of malicious satisfaction or bureaucraschadenfreude when people in positions of responsibility for our stories get their heads removed. You’ll just have to wait and see. <br /><br />And because we’re now into October and the Halloween Season, I will be creating a masterpiece of horror and gore for our next episode. This is one I originally started writing all the way back in 2016 (yes, it took four years to get this show rolling). I shelved it though. Too violent. Too many limbs. Well, five years in, you’ve all proven how hard it is to scare you off, so from the annals of history comes our most frightening episode ever. Maybe. It’s relative I suppose. <br /><br /><br /><b></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

For your sake, I hope it’s from laughing. Not everyone will be so lucky.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> you’ll hear about the one part of your body I want you to consider more worthy of fiddling with than your genitals; if you’re a stickler for building codes, we’re going to take you on a beautiful, potentially one-way hike to see some shoddy-ass worksmanship; and we’ll see what makes helicopter rescues as frightening as whatever you did to earn one in the first place. <br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon…</b> I would use tales of sharks and octopuses and meth and sex toys to try and make today’s location more appealing; you would meet the surviving inductees to the No-Parachute Hall of Fame; and you would find out how the greatest construction disaster in US history inspired my idea for an OSHA Violation Ouija Board Game.<br /><br />In this episode, so you know, I was going to start by saying we have a story you’re going to fall head over heels for, but that felt like the most unintentionally disrespectful thing I’ve ever said. I’m also going to teach you the reassuring paleontological roots of why you laugh at this show. <br /><br />It is my unique pleasure to be able to take us all back to Oceana on today’s episode. I make a point about how little attention is paid to this part of the world outside of South East Asia. Actually, I make a few points about it, as I’ve done in the past as well. This is, sadly, one of those episodes were young people will die terribly, and frighteningly, but it’s also one of those stories that offers two things. First, a silver lining and legacy of change and safety, sure – but second, a chance to really get your torches and knives out for a government that dropped a ball and then walked behind it kicking it the whole way. I know a lot of listeners get a kind of malicious satisfaction or bureaucraschadenfreude when people in positions of responsibility for our stories get their heads removed. You’ll just have to wait and see. <br /><br />And because we’re now into October and the Halloween Season, I will be creating a masterpiece of horror and gore for our next episode. This is one I originally started writing all the way back in 2016 (yes, it took four years to get this show rolling). I shelved it though. Too violent. Too many limbs. Well, five years in, you’ve all proven how hard it is to scare you off, so from the annals of history comes our most frightening episode ever. Maybe. It’s relative I suppose. <br /><br /><br /><b></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

We’re talking about the only consumer product you can blow out your nose while friends and strangers cheer you on; we’ll discuss more context and uses for plop and manure than you could shake a feces coated stick at; and we’ll see why the only thing you can’t kill about the British in countless, ghoulish ways, is their spirit<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon…</b> only one extra segment, but it’ll definitely be different. I’ll be providing some Dodge Caravan math, but I’ll be belching the whole thing for you on a dare from my family<br /><br />If you are turned off by the mention of faces, this may not be the episode for you. This episode travels all over 1800s Britain, and this is not our first trip to the scabbed over, feces encrusted manure factory that was Victorian England. I am on record as saying they are our grossest episodes, by far, in my opinion. This one may be the worst. I mean, we did one where people were showered in the gory remains of a dead horse that spent the last three weeks cooking in the sun until it randomly popped on some lady in a giant crinoline dress like she was catching hot soup, and she’s all, “not this again”. I owe a debt of thanks to the Ye Olde Crime Podcast for clueing me in to just how no soap, no toothpaste, no germ theory it got. <br /><br />It is my strange privilege to bring you this one-of-a-kind first in the history of podcasting: a SIPPING Game, where with every mention of “human filth” in all it’s iterations and sources, you take a sip. <br /><br />With all due respect, you should feel free to skip a few. I think we mention feces alone 29 times. This might not be for everyone, but for those of you who do, I say hats off, because you can barf into them in an emergency. I’m always watching out for you. <br /><br />The rule of thumb is your liver can tackle about one full size drink an hour, and then you drink water. Provided you follow this precaution, you’ll still die if you sip every time. Feel free to cheat. I encourage it.  Do not hurt yourselves. In fact, drop your car keys in your toilet tank before you even hit play. And have a secondary or backup human on standby to watch you listen and make sure you don’t drink yourself into a neurological disorder. <br /><br />The episode is a fun one, and I hope you enjoy. Mark yourself safe after.<br /><br /><b><br /></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

We’re talking about the only consumer product you can blow out your nose while friends and strangers cheer you on; we’ll discuss more context and uses for plop and manure than you could shake a feces coated stick at; and we’ll see why the only thing you can’t kill about the British in countless, ghoulish ways, is their spirit<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon…</b> only one extra segment, but it’ll definitely be different. I’ll be providing some Dodge Caravan math, but I’ll be belching the whole thing for you on a dare from my family<br /><br />If you are turned off by the mention of faces, this may not be the episode for you. This episode travels all over 1800s Britain, and this is not our first trip to the scabbed over, feces encrusted manure factory that was Victorian England. I am on record as saying they are our grossest episodes, by far, in my opinion. This one may be the worst. I mean, we did one where people were showered in the gory remains of a dead horse that spent the last three weeks cooking in the sun until it randomly popped on some lady in a giant crinoline dress like she was catching hot soup, and she’s all, “not this again”. I owe a debt of thanks to the Ye Olde Crime Podcast for clueing me in to just how no soap, no toothpaste, no germ theory it got. <br /><br />It is my strange privilege to bring you this one-of-a-kind first in the history of podcasting: a SIPPING Game, where with every mention of “human filth” in all it’s iterations and sources, you take a sip. <br /><br />With all due respect, you should feel free to skip a few. I think we mention feces alone 29 times. This might not be for everyone, but for those of you who do, I say hats off, because you can barf into them in an emergency. I’m always watching out for you. <br /><br />The rule of thumb is your liver can tackle about one full size drink an hour, and then you drink water. Provided you follow this precaution, you’ll still die if you sip every time. Feel free to cheat. I encourage it.  Do not hurt yourselves. In fact, drop your car keys in your toilet tank before you even hit play. And have a secondary or backup human on standby to watch you listen and make sure you don’t drink yourself into a neurological disorder. <br /><br />The episode is a fun one, and I hope you enjoy. Mark yourself safe after.<br /><br /><b><br /></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

Sadly, we’re going to spend most of our time on the one that crew members called “The Mobile Chernobyl” . <br /><b><br />On today’s episode: </b>we’ll see what it feels like to survive something that peeled through six inch steel plates like taffy; in our safety segment, you’ll hear the first use of the term “enriddlement”; and before we’re done we’ll boldly go where Starships sometimes explode. <br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>, you would learn about a 2-million ton aircraft carrier made out of ice; you would hear the story of the early kamikaze pilot who caused hands down the most bizarre death in Australian Naval history; and you would learn how close we came to building the most unfathomably irresponsible and apocalyptic doomsday weapon ever conceived.<br /><br />I’ve wanted to do this episode for some time, and there is a very special surprise for Star Trek fans closer to the end, but not before we explore the lives and fates of every vessel over a span of about 500 years to carry the name Enterprise. No big whoop. <br /><br />If you find yourself asking, Star Trek? Why not Star Wars. Well, for one, the only “disasters” in Star Wars were the repeated explosions of the Death Star, but those were actually “acts of terrorism” – at least from the point of view of the victims of the explosions. The Death Stars were attacked in 1977 and 1983 in the same way the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City were attacked in 1993 and 2001. Both were ultimately destroyed by a small ragtag force of self-appointed rebels, each seeing themselves in a David role against an evil Goliath, each claiming victory by blowing up the bad guy’s biggest piece of real estate, and both in a strategic aerial attack. So to recap, Star Wars always inevitably leads to offensive mixed metaphors that upset people unnecessarily. <br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Sadly, we’re going to spend most of our time on the one that crew members called “The Mobile Chernobyl” . <br /><b><br />On today’s episode: </b>we’ll see what it feels like to survive something that peeled through six inch steel plates like taffy; in our safety segment, you’ll hear the first use of the term “enriddlement”; and before we’re done we’ll boldly go where Starships sometimes explode. <br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>, you would learn about a 2-million ton aircraft carrier made out of ice; you would hear the story of the early kamikaze pilot who caused hands down the most bizarre death in Australian Naval history; and you would learn how close we came to building the most unfathomably irresponsible and apocalyptic doomsday weapon ever conceived.<br /><br />I’ve wanted to do this episode for some time, and there is a very special surprise for Star Trek fans closer to the end, but not before we explore the lives and fates of every vessel over a span of about 500 years to carry the name Enterprise. No big whoop. <br /><br />If you find yourself asking, Star Trek? Why not Star Wars. Well, for one, the only “disasters” in Star Wars were the repeated explosions of the Death Star, but those were actually “acts of terrorism” – at least from the point of view of the victims of the explosions. The Death Stars were attacked in 1977 and 1983 in the same way the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City were attacked in 1993 and 2001. Both were ultimately destroyed by a small ragtag force of self-appointed rebels, each seeing themselves in a David role against an evil Goliath, each claiming victory by blowing up the bad guy’s biggest piece of real estate, and both in a strategic aerial attack. So to recap, Star Wars always inevitably leads to offensive mixed metaphors that upset people unnecessarily. <br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We all think we have it pretty bad. But unless your commute includes choking on toxic fumes, or being claustrophobically trampled in the dark while on fire, prepare to eat your feelings.<br /><b><br />On today’s episode:</b> we learn what makes the world capital of mud farts so fascinating; we’ll discover why Soviet utilities designed for the utilitarian benefit of the masses are so flammable; and I’ll make you understand the analogy that you don’t survive a skydive accident just to get eaten by alligators. <br /><b><br />And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discuss: </b>the marketing plan that included a media budget for murdering an elephant; the answer to the question, “what’s the most aggressively violent disaster your hometown completely forgot”; the reason why Transit Authority cadaver removal kits include a kind of industrial spatula; and, we learn why Trauma Professionals call this kind of injury "the barbecue effect". <br /><br />If you remember our Mandhradevi Temple Apocalypse of 2005 and our St. Pierre Volcanic Bio-Swarm of 1902 episodes, what made those so special were the relentless waves of terror that presented themselves one after another - each more deadly than the last. This episode follows in the spirit of those predecessors with a very special reveal in the tunnel that surprised everyone. Speaking of tunnels, it’s been a while since we’ve visited the underground and lived to talk about it. Without spoiling anything, this will be the worst underground vehicle disaster of all time, so no pressure. <br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But unless your commute includes choking on toxic fumes, or being claustrophobically trampled in the dark while on fire, prepare to eat your feelings.<br /><b><br />On today’s episode:</b> we learn what makes the world capital of mud farts so fascinating; we’ll discover why Soviet utilities designed for the utilitarian benefit of the masses are so flammable; and I’ll make you understand the analogy that you don’t survive a skydive accident just to get eaten by alligators. <br /><b><br />And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discuss: </b>the marketing plan that included a media budget for murdering an elephant; the answer to the question, “what’s the most aggressively violent disaster your hometown completely forgot”; the reason why Transit Authority cadaver removal kits include a kind of industrial spatula; and, we learn why Trauma Professionals call this kind of injury "the barbecue effect". <br /><br />If you remember our Mandhradevi Temple Apocalypse of 2005 and our St. Pierre Volcanic Bio-Swarm of 1902 episodes, what made those so special were the relentless waves of terror that presented themselves one after another - each more deadly than the last. This episode follows in the spirit of those predecessors with a very special reveal in the tunnel that surprised everyone. Speaking of tunnels, it’s been a while since we’ve visited the underground and lived to talk about it. Without spoiling anything, this will be the worst underground vehicle disaster of all time, so no pressure. <br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Someone throw a battery at a Make-a-Wish kid? Sure, if you’re from Philly, but what if you were from California.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> we’ll talk about zombies and crucifictions and collapsing buildings before we even get into it; we’re going to watch the shortest baseball game of all time; and we’re going to cut off one of your limbs in one of the more claustrophobic ways possible.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear of one of the most extreme, but very different kind of arm-severing examples of self-rescue in history; the story of a must-have, closed-casket-funeral-friendly rescue device and the absolutely brutal, very public early use of it; and a really dirty, smutty explanation how earthquakes work.<br /><br />By popular request, we present The Loma Prieta Earthquake Disaster of 1989! So, we’ll end up talking about my history with zombies and a popular crucifixion and a slowly collapsing building - two of three events set in San Francisco itself – all before we settle in to watch the shortest baseball game of all time.<br /><br />Not just that, we're actually going to (for the first time ever) interrupt a safety segment with a Patreon-exclusive retelling of the shockingly horrific and awful just-kill-me-now-already story of Aron Ralston. You might remember him as the guy who chewed his arm off after an 800 pound boulder pinned him to a canyon wall in Utah. He didn't actually chew his arm off though. What he did was at least a thousand times worse.<br /><br />We'll also do a little retelling of the great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Can't not do a San Francisco Earthquake disaster without at least bringing it up.<br /><br />Celebrity guest appearances include world famous author and travel enthusiast, Bill Bryson; crucified magician and Jesus’ friend, Saint Andrew; real estate suckers Joe Montana and Kevin Durant; all four Beatles; sports broadcasters, Al Michaels and Tim McCarver; newscaster, Ted Koppel; crosstown World Series players Dave Stewart, Mike Moore, Jose Canseco, Dave Parker and Terry Kennedy.<br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Someone throw a battery at a Make-a-Wish kid? Sure, if you’re from Philly, but what if you were from California.<br /><br /><b>On today’s episode:</b> we’ll talk about zombies and crucifictions and collapsing buildings before we even get into it; we’re going to watch the shortest baseball game of all time; and we’re going to cut off one of your limbs in one of the more claustrophobic ways possible.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening on Patreon</b>… you would hear of one of the most extreme, but very different kind of arm-severing examples of self-rescue in history; the story of a must-have, closed-casket-funeral-friendly rescue device and the absolutely brutal, very public early use of it; and a really dirty, smutty explanation how earthquakes work.<br /><br />By popular request, we present The Loma Prieta Earthquake Disaster of 1989! So, we’ll end up talking about my history with zombies and a popular crucifixion and a slowly collapsing building - two of three events set in San Francisco itself – all before we settle in to watch the shortest baseball game of all time.<br /><br />Not just that, we're actually going to (for the first time ever) interrupt a safety segment with a Patreon-exclusive retelling of the shockingly horrific and awful just-kill-me-now-already story of Aron Ralston. You might remember him as the guy who chewed his arm off after an 800 pound boulder pinned him to a canyon wall in Utah. He didn't actually chew his arm off though. What he did was at least a thousand times worse.<br /><br />We'll also do a little retelling of the great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Can't not do a San Francisco Earthquake disaster without at least bringing it up.<br /><br />Celebrity guest appearances include world famous author and travel enthusiast, Bill Bryson; crucified magician and Jesus’ friend, Saint Andrew; real estate suckers Joe Montana and Kevin Durant; all four Beatles; sports broadcasters, Al Michaels and Tim McCarver; newscaster, Ted Koppel; crosstown World Series players Dave Stewart, Mike Moore, Jose Canseco, Dave Parker and Terry Kennedy.<br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Well, not hell exactly. We’re going to rural Illinois, but for the purposes of this introduction, we are going to be spending time today in hell.<br /> <br /><b>On today’s episode: </b> you’re going to learn why fourth graders make such poor employees; you’ll learn how to properly panic like a professional; and you will learn how to tell people to “get out” using nothing but a shotgun and morse code.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening to this on Patreon…</b> you would also learn the story of the Patron Saint who watches over people who explode; you'd learn why underground coal fires are the disaster you can tell your great, great, great, great, great grandchildren about; you would hear a quick anecdote about nicotine poisoning in the workplace and inappropriate banana usage; and you would find out who gets coal for Christmas.<br /><br />This was another bad-day-at-work episodes, but it was a good one, because it happened in such a small, unassuming place, but had safety ramifications that spread around the world. This is dedicated to everyone who loves mining and mining disasters. And on that note, most people don't think about mining very often - so this is my love letter to the industry. You love mining, you ask? No, not overly, but in my opinion, our entire evolution as a society and as a species would have been impossible without men willing to climb into the earth to do the work too frightening or dangerous for the masses. On the upside, at least it pays well, and we do get the occasional story out of it. <br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We’re going to rural Illinois, but for the purposes of this introduction, we are going to be spending time today in hell.<br /> <br /><b>On today’s episode: </b> you’re going to learn why fourth graders make such poor employees; you’ll learn how to properly panic like a professional; and you will learn how to tell people to “get out” using nothing but a shotgun and morse code.<br /><br /><b>And if you were listening to this on Patreon…</b> you would also learn the story of the Patron Saint who watches over people who explode; you'd learn why underground coal fires are the disaster you can tell your great, great, great, great, great grandchildren about; you would hear a quick anecdote about nicotine poisoning in the workplace and inappropriate banana usage; and you would find out who gets coal for Christmas.<br /><br />This was another bad-day-at-work episodes, but it was a good one, because it happened in such a small, unassuming place, but had safety ramifications that spread around the world. This is dedicated to everyone who loves mining and mining disasters. And on that note, most people don't think about mining very often - so this is my love letter to the industry. You love mining, you ask? No, not overly, but in my opinion, our entire evolution as a society and as a species would have been impossible without men willing to climb into the earth to do the work too frightening or dangerous for the masses. On the upside, at least it pays well, and we do get the occasional story out of it. <br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Let me know what you guys think.<br /><br />All that said, we'll all be back for a new episode where we'll be burning down an airport together in no time. I'd say get your safety glasses ready, but they're just going the melt over your eyes.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/doomsday-history-s-most-dangerous-podcast--4866335/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/doomsday-history-s-most-dangerous-podcast--4866335/support</a>.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2498</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>comedy,crime,danger,death,disaster,education,engineering,explosion,history,horror,meltdown,nuclear,podcast,rescue,safety,scary,soviet,survival,ukraine,ussr</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/b7688bfd9156e005fb094004e569d656.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>bonus</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Chernobyl Orthodox Christmasode Disaster of 1986 | Episode 79</title><link>https://doomsdaypodcast.com/episode/the-chernobyl-orthodox-christmasode-disaster-of-1986-episode-81</link><description><![CDATA[Hellooo!

We’ll come back to that.<br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> you’ll find out which sports fans tried to kill Santa Claus; we’ll find out what stadium security personnel and Acorn Cop have in common; and we’ll meet the very first person to ever come back to life after dying on the show.<b><br /></b><br /><b>Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed</b> the theatre of human pain that is professional soccer; you’d learn about the single worst fan over-reaction to the loss of a game in sports history; you’d take a listen through the incestuous, genital-laden world of European sports chants; and you’d learn why urine works better on tear gas than jellyfish stings. <br /><br />They say at its core, soccer transcends language, class, or background. It’s all about people coming together with nothing more than a ball and some open space. All that will be true about today’s episode, except for the part about space. A lot of disasters are the result of multiple preventable causes coming together in the worst way. Nowhere is that more true than in today’s episode - but for the most part, it was the police. The Ghana Institute of Architects may have called the setting for today’s story a death trap, which is why I have petitioned to change the name to the Ghana Institute of Architects and Psychic Predictions. You’ll just have to wait and find out for yourself.<br /><br /><b>Celebrity guests include: </b>multiple-injury lawsuit artist, Santa Claus; hot air balloon novice, the Easter Bunny; former wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, Michael Irvin; former Okaloosa County, Florida, Sheriff's Deputy, Jesse Hernandez, aka Acorn Cop; and President of Ghana, President John Kufuor.<br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We’ll come back to that.<br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> you’ll find out which sports fans tried to kill Santa Claus; we’ll find out what stadium security personnel and Acorn Cop have in common; and we’ll meet the very first person to ever come back to life after dying on the show.<b><br /></b><br /><b>Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed</b> the theatre of human pain that is professional soccer; you’d learn about the single worst fan over-reaction to the loss of a game in sports history; you’d take a listen through the incestuous, genital-laden world of European sports chants; and you’d learn why urine works better on tear gas than jellyfish stings. <br /><br />They say at its core, soccer transcends language, class, or background. It’s all about people coming together with nothing more than a ball and some open space. All that will be true about today’s episode, except for the part about space. A lot of disasters are the result of multiple preventable causes coming together in the worst way. Nowhere is that more true than in today’s episode - but for the most part, it was the police. The Ghana Institute of Architects may have called the setting for today’s story a death trap, which is why I have petitioned to change the name to the Ghana Institute of Architects and Psychic Predictions. You’ll just have to wait and find out for yourself.<br /><br /><b>Celebrity guests include: </b>multiple-injury lawsuit artist, Santa Claus; hot air balloon novice, the Easter Bunny; former wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, Michael Irvin; former Okaloosa County, Florida, Sheriff's Deputy, Jesse Hernandez, aka Acorn Cop; and President of Ghana, President John Kufuor.<br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

In the middle, I’m going to do my best to show you in every way possible how automotive racing is the most dangerous sport imaginable, and then why your daily commute is 1,000x duller <i>and</i> even deadlier.

You think that sound exciting, well just wait for the off-roading portion.<br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll take a look at the only car ever compared to a barbecue; we’re taking in the only sporting event in history that was later compared by the press to the holocaust; and you’ll hear about the first accidental public use of an unintentional horizontal guillotine.<br /><b><br />Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed</b> the upper limits of human reaction time; you would get to meet America’s most physically damaged stuntman; you would also be treated to more Dodge Caravan Math than you could fly a rocket bike over; you would learn about a non-sexual, full body invisible burning phenomena; and on-topic, we will look at the history of strange ways people have died at today’s events, just in different years.<br /><br />I start this episode with a quaint tale of surviving a highway crash in a Ford Pinto of all things, cover you in minced spectator, and by the end I am going to teach you the horrific fate of drug abuser and former hockey legend, Tim Horton. In the middle, I’m going to do my best to show you in every way possible how automotive racing is the most dangerous sport imaginable, and then why your daily commute is 1,000x duller <i>and</i> even deadlier. RIP my three dead cars. <br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

This fits nicely into my “let’s visit more of the world” suite as promised, and more than a few of you have said weather-related episodes are your favourites. Well, it turns out, Bangladesh is beautiful – but it’s currently undergoing a governmental job quota scandal/rubber bullet block party which makes it just a tad unsafe to visit. That said, visiting unsafe places is kind of our whole gig, and at least we got to explore a kind of disaster we’ve never covered before.<br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

This fits nicely into my “let’s visit more of the world” suite as promised, and more than a few of you have said weather-related episodes are your favourites. Well, it turns out, Bangladesh is beautiful – but it’s currently undergoing a governmental job quota scandal/rubber bullet block party which makes it just a tad unsafe to visit. That said, visiting unsafe places is kind of our whole gig, and at least we got to explore a kind of disaster we’ve never covered before.<br /><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Sometimes you put out a brochure with a typo. Sometimes you ding the bosses car. Very rarely do you accidentally destroy a $30 million nuclear missile. <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> you’ll learn the history of human violence from Paleolithic shoving to nuclear annihilation; I’ll teach you how to sneak into a top secret missile silo; and there <i>is</i> a disaster in this episode – but unlike most – this one uses the phrase “blown skinless”.<br /><br /><b>Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 11 minutes where we discussed</b> how frighteningly close we’ve come to accidental Armageddon and the one man who saved all of humanity; why the government spends $10,000 on a hammer; you’d learn how you can buy your own nuclear missile silo; and you’d hear the story of the fastest manmade object of all time which actually predates the Sputnik launch.<br /><br />As far as bad day at work episodes go, this one has it all. Bad conditions, bad hours, bad moral, leaking poisons, radiation exposure, and a never-ending, sneaking suspicion, that no matter what, you’re probably going to die at work. We’ve never had a work-related episode where if everything goes to plan, everybody dies. Everyone alive at the time spent most days waiting for what seemed like the inevitable apocalypse to come, but some how it didn’t. And by the time you’re finished this episode, you’re going to believe as I do, that us all still being here and alive is a complete fluke. <b><br /></b><br />Celebrity guests include the first proto-human to have their face eaten off by a porcupine; mockery of a bad Halloween costume and former President Richard Mulhouse Nixon; the entire Ocean’s Eleven heist team except it’s only actually you, and a very quick cameo from The Little Dutch Boy, who again did nothing, because he wasn’t real. <b><br /></b><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Sometimes you ding the bosses car. Very rarely do you accidentally destroy a $30 million nuclear missile. <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> you’ll learn the history of human violence from Paleolithic shoving to nuclear annihilation; I’ll teach you how to sneak into a top secret missile silo; and there <i>is</i> a disaster in this episode – but unlike most – this one uses the phrase “blown skinless”.<br /><br /><b>Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 11 minutes where we discussed</b> how frighteningly close we’ve come to accidental Armageddon and the one man who saved all of humanity; why the government spends $10,000 on a hammer; you’d learn how you can buy your own nuclear missile silo; and you’d hear the story of the fastest manmade object of all time which actually predates the Sputnik launch.<br /><br />As far as bad day at work episodes go, this one has it all. Bad conditions, bad hours, bad moral, leaking poisons, radiation exposure, and a never-ending, sneaking suspicion, that no matter what, you’re probably going to die at work. We’ve never had a work-related episode where if everything goes to plan, everybody dies. Everyone alive at the time spent most days waiting for what seemed like the inevitable apocalypse to come, but some how it didn’t. And by the time you’re finished this episode, you’re going to believe as I do, that us all still being here and alive is a complete fluke. <b><br /></b><br />Celebrity guests include the first proto-human to have their face eaten off by a porcupine; mockery of a bad Halloween costume and former President Richard Mulhouse Nixon; the entire Ocean’s Eleven heist team except it’s only actually you, and a very quick cameo from The Little Dutch Boy, who again did nothing, because he wasn’t real. <b><br /></b><br /><br /><b>––––– <br /></b><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Between the vomiting and the contusions and the lacerations and the spinal injuries – I’m confident this episode will help you discover whatever the opposite of romance is.<br /> <br /><b>On this episode:</b>  you’ll learn why Captain James Cook left Hawaii with a knife in his head – and chest – and back and abdomen and face; you’ll learn the clothes-eating, skin-ripping, skull-flattening results of jumping feet first into an active hurricane; and you’ll hear about recovery efforts somehow more damaging than the original disaster<br /> <br />And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional <b>10</b> minutes where we discussed:<br /><br />•  why in about 600,000 years New Zealand will be some of the most prized real estate in the world<br /><br />•  we clarify why a corpse in a captain’s outfit isn’t a must-have after every disaster<br /><br />•  you get a sad reminder that not all ship crews are created equal<br /><br />•  you hear all about the Marmite Disaster of 2011 that killed over 20,000 people and injured another 8,300<br /><br />•  and you’ll learn of the horrific tale of the worst, most sea-sickening voyage of all time.<br /><br />Full disclosure, we’ll make a little bit of fun of Australia in this episode, but less than a minute’s worth, I swear. And it’s all in good fun. In fact, it’s the only real fun to be had. I did this episode as a thank you to a listener from New Zealand, not having been there, and based purely off having read more individual rescue tales for the story than any other episode of this show to date, I have to say this. My first exposure to NZ culture was through a movie called Once Were Warriors.

There were way more, very specific details I could have shared about various injuries, but decided there had to be a line. As for how many other people will have their faces blown off in unpredicted volcanic eruptions, but one will be too many and a hundred won’t be enough.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But every now and then, one says “not today”! <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll see how a volcano was more deadly to humanity than that asteroid was to the dinosaurs; we’ll meet the most oblivious reporters in history of news gathering; and we’ll see repeatedly what happens when human flesh comes in contact with glowing hot rocks.<br /><br />Also, <b>if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter</b>, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed the top four deadliest volcanoes in history, the most famous person in human history to actually swan dive into a volcano, why being eaten by a bears or struck by lightning is better than what happens in this episode, the strange tale of 800,000 Icelandic farting sheep, and what accidentally cooking your friend’s brain smells like – including a quick cooking tip.<br /><br />Even I was impressed with how gory today’s story turned out. There were way more, very specific details I could have shared about various injuries, but decided there had to be a line. As for how many other people will have their faces blown off in unpredicted volcanic eruptions, but one will be too many and a hundred won’t be enough.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Today, we learn that skiing can do a lot worse things to your face than knocking down a tree.<br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> On today’s episode: we’ll see how hot dogging at work can destroy your soul; you’d forever remember the list of countries that make up the Alps thanks to MILFGASS; and we’ll see how the north American concept of giving out awards regardless of merit actually began with the military. <br /><br />This is I believe our third trip to Bella Italia, and I don’t want to spoil the duplicitous little twist in this episode. There is a story arc of an attempted redemption from sin. Justice will be paper thin. There may be some awards handed out. It’ll get weird, however many times it needs to. If you've never been in a gondola in a wind storm halfway up a mountain, this is as close as you're going to get. And by the time you're done, you'll wish you'd just spent an awful afternoon teetering over certain death. <br /><br />I you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 13 minutes where we discussed:<br /><br />•  why I can’t sell stupid moon rocks<br /><br />•  we meet the single least likely and least prepared athlete in the history of the winter Olympics<br /><br />•  we find out who the funniest people roasting in hell are<br /><br />•  and we reveal how Google is trying to convince us all to poison and kill ourselves<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Today, we learn that skiing can do a lot worse things to your face than knocking down a tree.<br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> On today’s episode: we’ll see how hot dogging at work can destroy your soul; you’d forever remember the list of countries that make up the Alps thanks to MILFGASS; and we’ll see how the north American concept of giving out awards regardless of merit actually began with the military. <br /><br />This is I believe our third trip to Bella Italia, and I don’t want to spoil the duplicitous little twist in this episode. There is a story arc of an attempted redemption from sin. Justice will be paper thin. There may be some awards handed out. It’ll get weird, however many times it needs to. If you've never been in a gondola in a wind storm halfway up a mountain, this is as close as you're going to get. And by the time you're done, you'll wish you'd just spent an awful afternoon teetering over certain death. <br /><br />I you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 13 minutes where we discussed:<br /><br />•  why I can’t sell stupid moon rocks<br /><br />•  we meet the single least likely and least prepared athlete in the history of the winter Olympics<br /><br />•  we find out who the funniest people roasting in hell are<br /><br />•  and we reveal how Google is trying to convince us all to poison and kill ourselves<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We also look at the horrible history of promotions and publicity stunts that backfired catastrophically; and we learned why you never fire guns.<br /><br />About the actual main story here, we are definitely in a Cleveland state of mind, and I will tell you this one quote from the episode: <br /><br />Literally no part of this came together like it was supposed to, and in keeping with Cleveland’s long habit of not having things go it’s way, one observer was quoted as saying “it's actually quite impressive how badly it turned out”. There are terrorist attacks that aren't as successful as balloon fest.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We also look at the horrible history of promotions and publicity stunts that backfired catastrophically; and we learned why you never fire guns.<br /><br />About the actual main story here, we are definitely in a Cleveland state of mind, and I will tell you this one quote from the episode: <br /><br />Literally no part of this came together like it was supposed to, and in keeping with Cleveland’s long habit of not having things go it’s way, one observer was quoted as saying “it's actually quite impressive how badly it turned out”. There are terrorist attacks that aren't as successful as balloon fest.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

This story actually has a 99.02% survivability rate – but those that do die – you might want to limber your neck, because you’re going to be shaking your head.<br /><br />On this episode: you won’t learn to fly a plane but I will be able to teach you how not to fly one; we’ll learn what happens when you go skydiving at ground-level; and we’ll learn about a victim who was killed by her own rescuers - twice. <br /><br />This story will showcase what became of a once proud company known for safety and innovation, and how they’ve become the laughing stock of airlines. Speaking of laughing, we’re also going to test your sense of humour in this one. For starts, yes, one of the victims has something unimaginable happen, and for no good reason - twice! And it’s not just the circumstances of the death that will get off to a weird start - it’s the media’s coverage of the event. I’ll tell you about that right at the end, and ho lee fuk is it a weird one.<br /><br />Celebrity guests include: virtuoso and piano enthusiast, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; nervous former pilot from Airplane: The Movie, Ted Striker; one-man anti-terrorist task force and movie star, John McClane; and a quick visit from professional worriers, Serena Williams and Tom Hanks.<br />And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 12 minutes where we discussed:<br /><br />•  Canada’s love/hate relationship with a retailer legally called Crappy Tire<br /><br />•  how Boeing became such an absolute fart of a company<br /><br />•  we recapped the beloved Christmas tale Die Hard 2<br /><br />•  we explored the parallels between this disaster and Airplane: The Movie<br /><br />•   and the world’s first safety segment within a safety segment where we cover what to do if you survive a plane crash and the universe tries to Final Destination you about it <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

This story actually has a 99.02% survivability rate – but those that do die – you might want to limber your neck, because you’re going to be shaking your head.<br /><br />On this episode: you won’t learn to fly a plane but I will be able to teach you how not to fly one; we’ll learn what happens when you go skydiving at ground-level; and we’ll learn about a victim who was killed by her own rescuers - twice. <br /><br />This story will showcase what became of a once proud company known for safety and innovation, and how they’ve become the laughing stock of airlines. Speaking of laughing, we’re also going to test your sense of humour in this one. For starts, yes, one of the victims has something unimaginable happen, and for no good reason - twice! And it’s not just the circumstances of the death that will get off to a weird start - it’s the media’s coverage of the event. I’ll tell you about that right at the end, and ho lee fuk is it a weird one.<br /><br />Celebrity guests include: virtuoso and piano enthusiast, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; nervous former pilot from Airplane: The Movie, Ted Striker; one-man anti-terrorist task force and movie star, John McClane; and a quick visit from professional worriers, Serena Williams and Tom Hanks.<br />And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 12 minutes where we discussed:<br /><br />•  Canada’s love/hate relationship with a retailer legally called Crappy Tire<br /><br />•  how Boeing became such an absolute fart of a company<br /><br />•  we recapped the beloved Christmas tale Die Hard 2<br /><br />•  we explored the parallels between this disaster and Airplane: The Movie<br /><br />•   and the world’s first safety segment within a safety segment where we cover what to do if you survive a plane crash and the universe tries to Final Destination you about it <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

The Frank Rockslide Disaster of 1903 stands as one of the most devastating and tragic events in the history of Alberta and was claimed to be the worst disaster that has even befallen any community in Western Canada.<br /><br />Celebrity guests include: my wife, aggrieved driver; highway enthusiast, Dwight D. Eisenhower;  historical revisionist, Abraham Lincoln;massacre enthusiast, Massachusetts Bay Governor, John Winthrop; and holiday-travel enthusiast, Dante of Dante’s Inferno fame.<br /> <br />And if you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 10.5 minutes where we discussed:<br /><br />•  landing planes on highways<br /><br />•  how bizarre the Mandela Effect is<br /><br />•  we look at the weird, dark origins of Thanksgiving<br /><br />•  we found out why TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers hate Plymouth Rock<br /><br />•  we look into why people suck at driving <br /><br />•  and the history of the Cannonball Run<br /><br /> <br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Nothing good, I promise. I hope you brought your appetite for destruction – because this episode is going to bug you. <br />On this episode: you’ll learn the horror of insect biomass, we’ll learn that some problems can only be solved with a knife and a fork, and you’ll need them because we are facing our very first extinction level event. <br /><br />And if you had been listening to this on Patreon, we alsowould have discussed whether Aesop was a thieving jerk, we found out Maury Povich never loved you, we met the loneliest/most extreme insects in the world, we found out if having grasshopper superpowers would kill you, we looked at the weirdest historical plague ever, we discussed the most disturbing regional delicacies in the world, and we shared a recipe for cricket protein energy balls.<br /><br />I never preach about environmental issues on the show, but you are going to hear about a kind of insect apocalypse that plays the weather the way my dad used to play the ponies. How big an issue will we be talking about? To this day, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, our story remains the largest concentration of living creatures, ever.<br /><br />Celebrity cameos include the God of the Old Testament; biblical prophet Moses; the Angel of Death, Pharoah Ramesses II of Egypt; Aesop the Greek fable man; Frau Troffea, queen of the Strasbourg plague dance, and human guinea pig John Stapp.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

I hope you brought your appetite for destruction – because this episode is going to bug you. <br />On this episode: you’ll learn the horror of insect biomass, we’ll learn that some problems can only be solved with a knife and a fork, and you’ll need them because we are facing our very first extinction level event. <br /><br />And if you had been listening to this on Patreon, we alsowould have discussed whether Aesop was a thieving jerk, we found out Maury Povich never loved you, we met the loneliest/most extreme insects in the world, we found out if having grasshopper superpowers would kill you, we looked at the weirdest historical plague ever, we discussed the most disturbing regional delicacies in the world, and we shared a recipe for cricket protein energy balls.<br /><br />I never preach about environmental issues on the show, but you are going to hear about a kind of insect apocalypse that plays the weather the way my dad used to play the ponies. How big an issue will we be talking about? To this day, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, our story remains the largest concentration of living creatures, ever.<br /><br />Celebrity cameos include the God of the Old Testament; biblical prophet Moses; the Angel of Death, Pharoah Ramesses II of Egypt; Aesop the Greek fable man; Frau Troffea, queen of the Strasbourg plague dance, and human guinea pig John Stapp.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We’ve done blended and mixed disasters before, but welcome to our very first two-fer plane and elevator episode. <br /><br />On today’s episode: you’ll hear about the highest stakes game of keep-away ever, the worst kind of airline fuel to use as shampoo, and you’ll hear about a woman who broke a table in half with her face before setting a world record for not dying. And speaking of tid bits and tangents, I’d like to point out that if you were listening to this episode as a Patreon member, not only would you have heard it sooner and add-free, but this episode would be almost 10 MINUTES longer as we looked into the most unusual “self-guided tours” off the Empire State Building, how easy it was to score free smack in 1945, the legend of Killdozer, and a conspiracy-free take on how cheap real estate contributed to 9/11 <br /><br />By the end of this episode, you won’t believe how many people have flown into NYC - literally.

We’ve done blended and mixed disasters before, but welcome to our very first two-fer plane and elevator episode. <br /><br />On today’s episode: you’ll hear about the highest stakes game of keep-away ever, the worst kind of airline fuel to use as shampoo, and you’ll hear about a woman who broke a table in half with her face before setting a world record for not dying. And speaking of tid bits and tangents, I’d like to point out that if you were listening to this episode as a Patreon member, not only would you have heard it sooner and add-free, but this episode would be almost 10 MINUTES longer as we looked into the most unusual “self-guided tours” off the Empire State Building, how easy it was to score free smack in 1945, the legend of Killdozer, and a conspiracy-free take on how cheap real estate contributed to 9/11 <br /><br />By the end of this episode, you won’t believe how many people have flown into NYC - literally. The B-25 crash was so intense and bizarre, it actually pushed actual World War II off the front pages of newspapers – for about a minute.

To them I say please enjoy an episode unlike any other. I proudly present a pivotal moment in the history of podcasting. The first ever fully experiential 4D interactive podcast! <br /><br />On this episode: we will revisit an apocalyptic series of historical events that befell Sicily, Italy all the way back in 1693 – and it’s all natural. What it may lack in rich, historical detail it will more than make up for with the satisfaction of actual participation.<br /><br />To make the experience feel more four dimensional, here is a short list of items you will need to participate fully:<br /><br />A wheelbarrow<br />A clothes dryer<br />Several pair of shoes<br />Buckets of dirt, sand or soil – probably a hundred pounds of each<br />A strong fan<br />10 lbs of baking soda<br />8-10 litres of white vinegar<br />A water bed bladder<br />probably a hose<br />definitely a mop<br />An axe or machete but for the sake of convenience, a large kitchen knife would probably do<br />One 4x4 or off-road appropriate vehicle<br />And one set of gloves<br /><br />I want to thank everyone who submitted their harrowing shrieks and screams for this special event, and I hope you have fun seeing how you all died. One of you was killed as a witch!<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

I proudly present a pivotal moment in the history of podcasting. The first ever fully experiential 4D interactive podcast! <br /><br />On this episode: we will revisit an apocalyptic series of historical events that befell Sicily, Italy all the way back in 1693 – and it’s all natural. What it may lack in rich, historical detail it will more than make up for with the satisfaction of actual participation.<br /><br />To make the experience feel more four dimensional, here is a short list of items you will need to participate fully:<br /><br />A wheelbarrow<br />A clothes dryer<br />Several pair of shoes<br />Buckets of dirt, sand or soil – probably a hundred pounds of each<br />A strong fan<br />10 lbs of baking soda<br />8-10 litres of white vinegar<br />A water bed bladder<br />probably a hose<br />definitely a mop<br />An axe or machete but for the sake of convenience, a large kitchen knife would probably do<br />One 4x4 or off-road appropriate vehicle<br />And one set of gloves<br /><br />I want to thank everyone who submitted their harrowing shrieks and screams for this special event, and I hope you have fun seeing how you all died. One of you was killed as a witch!<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone.<br /> <br />I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.

And the only blood will be coming out of people’s ears. This is a one of a kind minisode celebrating the greatest display of patriotic fury of all time!<br /><br />I never overly cared about firework shows, but this wasn’t some simple firework show – this was a once in a lifetime spectacle that you experience with every sense you have.

And the only blood will be coming out of people’s ears. This is a one of a kind minisode celebrating the greatest display of patriotic fury of all time!<br /><br />I never overly cared about firework shows, but this wasn’t some simple firework show – this was a once in a lifetime spectacle that you experience with every sense you have. Happy birthday America! And the Phillipines of course.

Whether trapped on a ride while the kid in the control booth sleeps one off, or another fair goer punts your head into the children’s area, rides are inherently dangerous, and that’s what we love about them – just not so much the details<br /><br /><b><br /></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

It has its ups and downs…but it's your choice to either enjoy the ride or die screaming yourself senseless.<br /><br />On today’s episode: we’ll settle a long-standing misconception about who parties harder: American teens vs British teens edition. We’ll see what happens when you put degenerates in charge of public safety, and we’ll see how a janky them park ride can lead to a janky spine. <br /><br />It’s always amazing to me when we discuss a “forgotten disaster” that turns out to be the biggest of its kind in history, and this tale is no different. Whether trapped on a ride while the kid in the control booth sleeps one off, or another fair goer punts your head into the children’s area, rides are inherently dangerous, and that’s what we love about them – just not so much the details<br /><br /><b><br /></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Hosts Lindsay Valenty and Madison Stangl and I explored the dehydratingly awful tale of the Aldgate Pump of Death, brought painfully to life with a Doomsday makeover!<br /><br />In this very special episode, we'll discuss the most drastic weight loss strategy available to the people of Victorian england, we'll revisit the phenomemon of exploding horses from an earlier episode, and we'll explore the question: would you rather be human-centipeded or live in cholera-ridden England. <br /><br />You can find Ye Olde Crime everywhere podcasts are available : <a href="https://www.yeoldecrimepodcast.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.yeoldecrimepodcast.com</a><br /><br /><b><br /></b>––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

And if you're familiar to the 10ish Pod, I do not believe you will have ever hear Nick nearly this disturbed.

Maybe learn something a little gross, maybe a little interesting. <br /><br />This is my chance to publicly answer some of the friendly, odd and occasionally gross questions that feed in through our various social media channels. <br /><br />On this episode: I’m going to recap the events of last Friday where I crashed some vehicles, fought some crime, made some unexpected friends, and did what I could to try to save a few lives. It was a day. <br /><br />Off topic, check out our Patreon this week for a special retro episode of Chopper Talk - the first podcast concept imagineered at Funeral Kazoo. <br /><br />If you’re curious to hear my take on things rattling around upstairs, feel free to holler.

Your job may hate you. But does your job actively pour hate and death over your entire community? <br /><br /><b>In this episode:</b> you’ll learn how insurance companies and the courts use God to ruin your day; we’ll hear about a disaster you can recreate in your own home using a washing machine and rocks; and you’ll see how you could use a river snake as a comfort animal.<br /><br />Most of our stories are told in the spirit of “we can learn to be safer” – and for the most part that means from fire or shrapnel – but some of our stories are told to make sure you know your elected officials can be as dangerous, if not more dangerous than a natural disaster – because politicians are replaceable and preventable! <br /><br />You live in rural West Virginia because you appreciate the quiet, relatively private life away from it all. It’s basically as placid and tranquil a location as can be – until the day an apocalypse washes your home and everything around it like a flume ride to oblivion. <br /><br />The Buffalo Creek disaster was awful in the way God running his tongue across your neighbourhood would be awful. Also, his tongue is made out of coal slurry. This is a transformative kind of disaster, that turns people into corpses and villages into flotsam with almost no warning. <br /><br />Celebrity guests include light-hearted guitarist John Denver, former President Richard Nixon, and the cartoonishly evil former Governor of West Virginia Arch Alfred Moore Jr.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Your job may hate you. But does your job actively pour hate and death over your entire community? <br /><br /><b>In this episode:</b> you’ll learn how insurance companies and the courts use God to ruin your day; we’ll hear about a disaster you can recreate in your own home using a washing machine and rocks; and you’ll see how you could use a river snake as a comfort animal.<br /><br />Most of our stories are told in the spirit of “we can learn to be safer” – and for the most part that means from fire or shrapnel – but some of our stories are told to make sure you know your elected officials can be as dangerous, if not more dangerous than a natural disaster – because politicians are replaceable and preventable! <br /><br />You live in rural West Virginia because you appreciate the quiet, relatively private life away from it all. It’s basically as placid and tranquil a location as can be – until the day an apocalypse washes your home and everything around it like a flume ride to oblivion. <br /><br />The Buffalo Creek disaster was awful in the way God running his tongue across your neighbourhood would be awful. Also, his tongue is made out of coal slurry. This is a transformative kind of disaster, that turns people into corpses and villages into flotsam with almost no warning. <br /><br />Celebrity guests include light-hearted guitarist John Denver, former President Richard Nixon, and the cartoonishly evil former Governor of West Virginia Arch Alfred Moore Jr.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Well today, we’re going to make a new memory that’ll make your old memory feel more like a page out of your dream journal. <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll explore the blood smeared history of NCAA college football; you’ll learn the quickest way off a building; and we’ll discuss what to do if your brain catches on fire – figuratively, not literally. <br /><br />This episode is a celebration of the history of Football ­– from humble origins, kicking a rock 2,000 years ago, to the pigskin, to the flying wedge retirement maneuver, to the Big Game disaster – which was and remains to this day, by a considerable margin, the deadliest sporting disaster in American history - <i>and no one’s ever even heard of it!</i> They should be doing be taking a quick knee for the victims to this day. But the worst part: imagine you are a rescue worker, and your job is to retrieve a body from one of our previous episodes. With the exception of the Byford Dolphin full-body spit take, this is the last one I would want to clean up after. I don’t want to just come out and say why, but let me ask if you’ve ever dropped a hotdog onto a scalding pan before. Thank you, no. <br /><br />Celebrity guests include photo-memorographic President of the United States Teddy Roosevelt, enthusiastic injury artists Napoleon McCallum and Joe Theismann, the Little Rascals and Cirque de Soleil.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Well today, we’re going to make a new memory that’ll make your old memory feel more like a page out of your dream journal. <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll explore the blood smeared history of NCAA college football; you’ll learn the quickest way off a building; and we’ll discuss what to do if your brain catches on fire – figuratively, not literally. <br /><br />This episode is a celebration of the history of Football ­– from humble origins, kicking a rock 2,000 years ago, to the pigskin, to the flying wedge retirement maneuver, to the Big Game disaster – which was and remains to this day, by a considerable margin, the deadliest sporting disaster in American history - <i>and no one’s ever even heard of it!</i> They should be doing be taking a quick knee for the victims to this day. But the worst part: imagine you are a rescue worker, and your job is to retrieve a body from one of our previous episodes. With the exception of the Byford Dolphin full-body spit take, this is the last one I would want to clean up after. I don’t want to just come out and say why, but let me ask if you’ve ever dropped a hotdog onto a scalding pan before. Thank you, no. <br /><br />Celebrity guests include photo-memorographic President of the United States Teddy Roosevelt, enthusiastic injury artists Napoleon McCallum and Joe Theismann, the Little Rascals and Cirque de Soleil.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But you’ve probably never been on a work cruise so bad it led to the death of 635,000 people?<br /><br /><b>In this history changing episode:</b> you’ll learn the death-cries of different presidents, we’ll learn how a cannon can have more than one business-end, and we’re going to play the worst game of ship-board body-part Twister that literally changed the course of American history forever.<br /><br />This is one hell of a story. It has everything – love, political intrigue, explosions! But it also has shocking levels of personal greed, jealousy and consequence. It’s a larger-than-life story with real life consequences. We’ve done a few episodes now where people in authority makes rash or bizarre decisions that end up getting a lot of innocent people replaced by urns – but this one happened, and it effected the timeline. Oh, and it involves cannons. <br /><br />Celebrity guests include more former Presidents than you could fight with two hands, blabbermouth socialite Dolly Madison, Swedish unicorn John Ericsson, Headless Horseman associate Ichabod Crane, would-be knife murderer John Potter, and exploded mill owner Cadwallader Washburn.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But you’ve probably never been on a work cruise so bad it led to the death of 635,000 people?<br /><br /><b>In this history changing episode:</b> you’ll learn the death-cries of different presidents, we’ll learn how a cannon can have more than one business-end, and we’re going to play the worst game of ship-board body-part Twister that literally changed the course of American history forever.<br /><br />This is one hell of a story. It has everything – love, political intrigue, explosions! But it also has shocking levels of personal greed, jealousy and consequence. It’s a larger-than-life story with real life consequences. We’ve done a few episodes now where people in authority makes rash or bizarre decisions that end up getting a lot of innocent people replaced by urns – but this one happened, and it effected the timeline. Oh, and it involves cannons. <br /><br />Celebrity guests include more former Presidents than you could fight with two hands, blabbermouth socialite Dolly Madison, Swedish unicorn John Ericsson, Headless Horseman associate Ichabod Crane, would-be knife murderer John Potter, and exploded mill owner Cadwallader Washburn.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

His excuse was he’d been drinking and then was this squirrel in his shirt that kept biting him. Oh, the things you’ll see on Florida’s roadways. Or won’t… <br /><br /><b>In this very special 1980’s themed first-time-in-Florida episode:</b> we’ll find out how seatbelts help prevent blood stains; we’ll see what happens when you drive underwater; and we’ll have a special second safety segment covering Florida road etiquette.<br /><br />It's always surprising to me how many different ways bridges can fail. It makes me feel like they should maybe offer prayer candles when you pull up to the foot of a bridge. This is a story so frightening to anyone who holds a driver’s license, that it’ll make you forget this story takes place in Florida. Not to fear, there’s not a lot of Florida stuff that happens. If I say “Florida man arrested for DUI after mistaking bank drive through for Taco Bell” or “Florida man worried about vampires, burns down his house” – remember, We’re going to cover some strange and awful stuff here, but I won’t pick on Florida. I wish I lived there myself.<br /><br />Florida may hold a monopoly on bizarre behaviour, but it doesn’t hold the trademark. We’ll have to visit again one day.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

His excuse was he’d been drinking and then was this squirrel in his shirt that kept biting him. Oh, the things you’ll see on Florida’s roadways. Or won’t… <br /><br /><b>In this very special 1980’s themed first-time-in-Florida episode:</b> we’ll find out how seatbelts help prevent blood stains; we’ll see what happens when you drive underwater; and we’ll have a special second safety segment covering Florida road etiquette.<br /><br />It's always surprising to me how many different ways bridges can fail. It makes me feel like they should maybe offer prayer candles when you pull up to the foot of a bridge. This is a story so frightening to anyone who holds a driver’s license, that it’ll make you forget this story takes place in Florida. Not to fear, there’s not a lot of Florida stuff that happens. If I say “Florida man arrested for DUI after mistaking bank drive through for Taco Bell” or “Florida man worried about vampires, burns down his house” – remember, We’re going to cover some strange and awful stuff here, but I won’t pick on Florida. I wish I lived there myself.<br /><br />Florida may hold a monopoly on bizarre behaviour, but it doesn’t hold the trademark. We’ll have to visit again one day.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

I’ll do it while reminding you why Victorian England sucks so bad. And although you won’t learn a lot about feces, you will hear a lot about them.<br /><br />I’ve returned from my self-isolation. I needed to work on my mental health for a bit to get my head straight. I wanted to offer my most heart-felt thanks to all those who reached out or donated during my hiatus. Words can’t express my gratitude, but I will try. You’ll have to listen. EDIT: That’s how I described it back then. I feel bad for that guy. He’s always had bad days, and getting this show out hasn’t always been easy for him. Mental health is a daily kind of thing, and I keep my head above it one day at a time. <br /><br />Compared to the people in today’s episode, I am the King of the Moon – no worries in the world, dancing in the streets, fresh as a daisy. If you’ve listened long enough, you get the idea that there are a lot of ways a person can die that you’ve never considered before. Well I did not have to review all of them to know, that with the possible exception of the Byford Dolphin meat straw treatment, death by Pimlico Sewer is the last way I would want to go, final answer. At least the meat straw was fast. <br /><br />Take care of yourself, sorry about all the feces, and enjoy the show. <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

I’ll do it while reminding you why Victorian England sucks so bad. And although you won’t learn a lot about feces, you will hear a lot about them.<br /><br />I’ve returned from my self-isolation. I needed to work on my mental health for a bit to get my head straight. I wanted to offer my most heart-felt thanks to all those who reached out or donated during my hiatus. Words can’t express my gratitude, but I will try. You’ll have to listen. EDIT: That’s how I described it back then. I feel bad for that guy. He’s always had bad days, and getting this show out hasn’t always been easy for him. Mental health is a daily kind of thing, and I keep my head above it one day at a time. <br /><br />Compared to the people in today’s episode, I am the King of the Moon – no worries in the world, dancing in the streets, fresh as a daisy. If you’ve listened long enough, you get the idea that there are a lot of ways a person can die that you’ve never considered before. Well I did not have to review all of them to know, that with the possible exception of the Byford Dolphin meat straw treatment, death by Pimlico Sewer is the last way I would want to go, final answer. At least the meat straw was fast. <br /><br />Take care of yourself, sorry about all the feces, and enjoy the show. <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But at the same time, you’re going to hear about people riding over waterfalls in rubber balls and barrels and jet-skis. So yeah – it’s an emotional mixed bag of an episode.   <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll discuss the blood thirstiest natural wonder in the world – and it’s not the one you’d think; you’ll learn what “coming to grief” means; and you’ll hear about people being dashed on rocks and drowned in every creative way possible.  <br /><br />This is our first visit to this natural wonder of the world. It won’t be our last. There are so many stories of disaster, tragedy and loss at Niagara Falls that we could spin this off as an entire season. But we chose this one harrowing story to begin our familiarization with the most powerful waterfall in North America. We’ll be visiting in the winter, and sometimes it really slows things down – makes it not so powerful at all. No, it trades all that majesty for the quiet potential of death. And no kidding, there is a tragic romance story here of love and sacrifice that makes Jack and Rose from Titanic look like they were on an episode of Cops.<br /><br />Celebrity guests include poet Henry Longfellow, safe driver Charlie Church, professional barrel rider Annie Edison Taylor and a return visit from the Patron Saint of Barcelona, Saint Eulalia. <br /><br />On a more serious note, if you or someone you care about is experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, understand that you are not alone, and there are people ready to help. They’re only a Google search away. Or call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But at the same time, you’re going to hear about people riding over waterfalls in rubber balls and barrels and jet-skis. So yeah – it’s an emotional mixed bag of an episode.   <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll discuss the blood thirstiest natural wonder in the world – and it’s not the one you’d think; you’ll learn what “coming to grief” means; and you’ll hear about people being dashed on rocks and drowned in every creative way possible.  <br /><br />This is our first visit to this natural wonder of the world. It won’t be our last. There are so many stories of disaster, tragedy and loss at Niagara Falls that we could spin this off as an entire season. But we chose this one harrowing story to begin our familiarization with the most powerful waterfall in North America. We’ll be visiting in the winter, and sometimes it really slows things down – makes it not so powerful at all. No, it trades all that majesty for the quiet potential of death. And no kidding, there is a tragic romance story here of love and sacrifice that makes Jack and Rose from Titanic look like they were on an episode of Cops.<br /><br />Celebrity guests include poet Henry Longfellow, safe driver Charlie Church, professional barrel rider Annie Edison Taylor and a return visit from the Patron Saint of Barcelona, Saint Eulalia. <br /><br />On a more serious note, if you or someone you care about is experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, understand that you are not alone, and there are people ready to help. They’re only a Google search away. Or call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But there won’t actually be a volcano in this story. That would make so much more sense.   <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll discuss the difference between evacuating your home and evacuating your body; we’ll find out why you don’t mix crude oil with electricity; and we’ll discover a weather phenomenon strange enough to remove your eyebrows.<br /><br />Not everything can be quantified in Dodge Caravans. With some stories, the most telling thing about them isn’t how big or fast they were – it’s about the terrible unlikeliness of something like that ever happening in the first place. What terrible set of circumstance brought these two things together to interact in such as a way that I make an entire episode out of it. I did sit down and try to work out the odds working against this episode ever even happening in the first place, but it ended up somewhere near 1 in half a quadrillion. We’ve done multi-combo disasters before, but this has to be hands’ down, the most statistically unlikely multi-combo disaster we’ve ever discussed.<br /><br />This story has “bad touch” written all over it.  <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

But there won’t actually be a volcano in this story. That would make so much more sense.   <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’ll discuss the difference between evacuating your home and evacuating your body; we’ll find out why you don’t mix crude oil with electricity; and we’ll discover a weather phenomenon strange enough to remove your eyebrows.<br /><br />Not everything can be quantified in Dodge Caravans. With some stories, the most telling thing about them isn’t how big or fast they were – it’s about the terrible unlikeliness of something like that ever happening in the first place. What terrible set of circumstance brought these two things together to interact in such as a way that I make an entire episode out of it. I did sit down and try to work out the odds working against this episode ever even happening in the first place, but it ended up somewhere near 1 in half a quadrillion. We’ve done multi-combo disasters before, but this has to be hands’ down, the most statistically unlikely multi-combo disaster we’ve ever discussed.<br /><br />This story has “bad touch” written all over it.  <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Especially after you find out it was a blimp! We spend so much time romanticizing all those people who burned to death on the Hindenburg. No one sheds a tear for those poor people who took the Goodyear Blimp to the bank that September morning. It was an incident as unusual as it was upsetting, and without this episode, it may have completely disappeared from the public conscience because it was almost immediately minimized by other events in a heavy news cycle. <br /><br />But I won’t all be bad. We’ll talk about some more light-hearted things too. Like why today there are more astronauts than blimp pilots in the world.

Especially after you find out it was a blimp! We spend so much time romanticizing all those people who burned to death on the Hindenburg. No one sheds a tear for those poor people who took the Goodyear Blimp to the bank that September morning. It was an incident as unusual as it was upsetting, and without this episode, it may have completely disappeared from the public conscience because it was almost immediately minimized by other events in a heavy news cycle. <br /><br />But I won’t all be bad. We’ll talk about some more light-hearted things too. Like why today there are more astronauts than blimp pilots in the world. RIP the blimp industry.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down.

Without spoiling anything, this is a good one if you’re afraid of heights, or water, or industrial accidents, or shoddy workmanship. It checks a lot of boxes. It also pays homage to a ridiculously overly-popular TikTok about the importance of not getting water up your butt. <br /><br />Celebrity guest stars include French explorer Jacques Cartier, Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, celebrity engineer Theodore Cooper, Prince of Wales Edward the Eighth, and the Kahnawake Skywalkers. <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

I don’t want to spoil the surprise here, but I think you’ll find today’s story, most riveting  <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> there will be your typical mutilations, manglings and scissorings; you can try to imagine being repeatedly cut in half but in three dimensions; and we’ll play a game of Would You Rather fall 150 feet onto rocks, or find yourself pressed into mud and suffocated. <br /><br />Today is one for the engineering disaster and “bad day at work” enthusiasts. Without spoiling anything, this is a good one if you’re afraid of heights, or water, or industrial accidents, or shoddy workmanship. It checks a lot of boxes. It also pays homage to a ridiculously overly-popular TikTok about the importance of not getting water up your butt. <br /><br />Celebrity guest stars include French explorer Jacques Cartier, Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, celebrity engineer Theodore Cooper, Prince of Wales Edward the Eighth, and the Kahnawake Skywalkers. <br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We’ve covered a lot of Bad Day at Work episodes, but this is by far the worst one we’ve ever done, and we don’t mean just by blood volume. We mean by pure existential horror. Enjoy!  <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’re going to explore a job so difficult, there are less than 400 people on the planet who can do it, you’re going to hear about the forced the expulsion of his thoracoabdominal cavity, and you’re going to hear the term meat balloon used contextually. <br /><br />This one came as a request from some of our most depraved listeners, and this is hands down the most existentially horrifying episode we’ve done to date. As they say, it would be easier for a fat man to pass through the head of a needle than for the cast of today’s story to make it to heaven without making you throw up. <br /><br />The events of this accident takes place in a fraction of time between moments so severe, it’ll be hard to understand. No less difficult than trying to try to imagine what became of the victims, who without spoiling anything, look like something out of that annual La Tomatina tomato-based street fight they hold in Spain. The safety segment should just be cleaning tips. <br /><br />Celebrity guest stars include James Cameron, Jaques Picard, World Record holders Herbert Nitsch and Ahmed Gabr, and Nils Olav III the Penguin.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We’ve covered a lot of Bad Day at Work episodes, but this is by far the worst one we’ve ever done, and we don’t mean just by blood volume. We mean by pure existential horror. Enjoy!  <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> we’re going to explore a job so difficult, there are less than 400 people on the planet who can do it, you’re going to hear about the forced the expulsion of his thoracoabdominal cavity, and you’re going to hear the term meat balloon used contextually. <br /><br />This one came as a request from some of our most depraved listeners, and this is hands down the most existentially horrifying episode we’ve done to date. As they say, it would be easier for a fat man to pass through the head of a needle than for the cast of today’s story to make it to heaven without making you throw up. <br /><br />The events of this accident takes place in a fraction of time between moments so severe, it’ll be hard to understand. No less difficult than trying to try to imagine what became of the victims, who without spoiling anything, look like something out of that annual La Tomatina tomato-based street fight they hold in Spain. The safety segment should just be cleaning tips. <br /><br />Celebrity guest stars include James Cameron, Jaques Picard, World Record holders Herbert Nitsch and Ahmed Gabr, and Nils Olav III the Penguin.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

It’s the Malbone Street Disaster of 1918<br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> you’re going to hear about people performing acrobatics through a cacophony of sharpness. And debatably, it only gets worse from there. And it all takes place in the dark. We have had plenty of episodes in the “bad day at work” category, but this one, woof.  <br /><br />We should count this in our suite of Bad Commute episodes – stories so awful that they can’t help you feel better about your regular commute, almost guaranteed. I start this episode questioning your experience on your local transit, especially if you have a local subway or metro. When most people think of the NYC subway system, they think about muggings and flashings and maybe the occasional stabbing. They don’t think about getting their transit pass permanently confiscated by God. <br /><br />In a lot of disasters, as time goes by, people slowly tend to forget, and they become anecdotes lost to time. NYC didn’t want to risk it, so they buried and renamed everything around it just to be absolutely sure so no one would ever have to think about the Malbone Street Disaster of 1918 again. At least until this show came out.<br /><br />On the plus side, to make you a safer commuter, we’ve teamed up with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to make sure you’re prepared for anything from light groping, to some MMA-style grappling, to grand larceny for the next time you find yourself being the target of a violent subway hobo.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

We have had plenty of episodes in the “bad day at work” category, but this one, woof.  <br /><br />We should count this in our suite of Bad Commute episodes – stories so awful that they can’t help you feel better about your regular commute, almost guaranteed. I start this episode questioning your experience on your local transit, especially if you have a local subway or metro. When most people think of the NYC subway system, they think about muggings and flashings and maybe the occasional stabbing. They don’t think about getting their transit pass permanently confiscated by God. <br /><br />In a lot of disasters, as time goes by, people slowly tend to forget, and they become anecdotes lost to time. NYC didn’t want to risk it, so they buried and renamed everything around it just to be absolutely sure so no one would ever have to think about the Malbone Street Disaster of 1918 again. At least until this show came out.<br /><br />On the plus side, to make you a safer commuter, we’ve teamed up with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to make sure you’re prepared for anything from light groping, to some MMA-style grappling, to grand larceny for the next time you find yourself being the target of a violent subway hobo.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Well, have we got a road trip for you. We’re visiting Afghanistan, but we’re not visiting it for the breathtaking beauty - we’re visiting for the unrelenting brutality. <br /><br /><b>On this episode:</b> you’re going to hear about just about every bad thing that can happen behind the wheel; you’re not going to hear a lot of impact injuries; and there will be fire and people will suffocate as many ways as they can.<br /><br />Imagine being sealed into a narrow tunnel carved through a mountain. Fire and smoke and screams are everywhere. Darkness closes in as the temperature rises. Every breath becomes agony, and you still have a mile and half to go. Commuting is the worst.

The USSR will become a staple of disaster on this show, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.<br /><br />We’ve certainly had issues on mountains on this show. We’ve frozen to death on them. We’ve been buried by their avalanches. We’ve fallen off them. We’ve even flown into the side of them, but we’ve never had the opportunity to crawl into the heart of one and suffocate terribly in one until now. Finding new and interesting places to die has always been a staple of this show, and the Salang Tunnel Disaster of 1982 certainly pays that off. Dark, suffocating, smelly, sooty, claustrophobic.

An amazing story that started out as a draft.<br /><br /><b>On this episode: </b>this is the first story we’ve done where the resulting damage can be compared to laser damage from space; so you know you’re going to hear about a lot of people Hereditaried and bisected; and a whole host of things so awful most didn’t make it into the show.<br /><br />We’re talking tornados, but we’re not focusing on the science. We are focusing on an unusual and little-understood tornadic ability that freaked me the hell out to learn about, and I think it can do the same for you. Excitingly enough, this is our first tornado disaster, and we picked a hell of a one to start. Enjoy one of the most powerful storms in the history of recorded meteorology.<br /><br />Celebrity guests include: world record holders, Matt Suter and Usain Bolt; pioneer of earthquake measurement, Tetsuya Teddy Fujita; fast food magnate and creator of Wendy’s, Dave Thomas; popcorn super ghost that haunts us today, Orville Redenbacher; Roger Edwards of the National Weather Service; and God - or at least God’s Finger.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

An amazing story that started out as a draft.<br /><br /><b>On this episode: </b>this is the first story we’ve done where the resulting damage can be compared to laser damage from space; so you know you’re going to hear about a lot of people Hereditaried and bisected; and a whole host of things so awful most didn’t make it into the show.<br /><br />We’re talking tornados, but we’re not focusing on the science. We are focusing on an unusual and little-understood tornadic ability that freaked me the hell out to learn about, and I think it can do the same for you. Excitingly enough, this is our first tornado disaster, and we picked a hell of a one to start. Enjoy one of the most powerful storms in the history of recorded meteorology.<br /><br />Celebrity guests include: world record holders, Matt Suter and Usain Bolt; pioneer of earthquake measurement, Tetsuya Teddy Fujita; fast food magnate and creator of Wendy’s, Dave Thomas; popcorn super ghost that haunts us today, Orville Redenbacher; Roger Edwards of the National Weather Service; and God - or at least God’s Finger.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

You will also hear me describe people losing their heads. Or parts of their heads. Or limbs. Or lives. But definitely bowel control.<br /><br />World War One was a real boom time across Europe, which can be easy to forget – unless you were near Silvertown after the war and your ears won’t stop ringing. This is the story of the single largest explosion to ever occur in the United Kingdom - which is saying a lot. Amazingly, because today’s disaster involved the military, no one heard about it for fifty years. It got a little hushed up for reasons of National Security, which doesn’t bring a lot of comfort to those left in its wake scratching their partial heads. It’s a perfectly gory example of the needs of the many vs the needs of the view in this explosive episode of Doomsday.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

You will also hear me describe people losing their heads. Or parts of their heads. Or limbs. Or lives. But definitely bowel control.<br /><br />World War One was a real boom time across Europe, which can be easy to forget – unless you were near Silvertown after the war and your ears won’t stop ringing. This is the story of the single largest explosion to ever occur in the United Kingdom - which is saying a lot. Amazingly, because today’s disaster involved the military, no one heard about it for fifty years. It got a little hushed up for reasons of National Security, which doesn’t bring a lot of comfort to those left in its wake scratching their partial heads. It’s a perfectly gory example of the needs of the many vs the needs of the view in this explosive episode of Doomsday.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

You’ll also hear about people’s eyes popping out of their sockets while their skin blisters from within, and others who just drop dead like their strings were cut. <br /><br />This is one of those episodes where you will also learn how to protect your family against the non-spoiler cause of this disaster, but very much left with feelings of “the Earth can do that?”. You’ll actually say that a lot. Especially once you have to start worrying about the ocean exploding. Sorry not sorry about the loss of sleep, but that is the show. I’ll make you safer – you figure out how to live with the on-going emotional consequences. You have been warned.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Do not go back to Victorian England. Disease, murder, and stink around every corner. It’s hard to overestimate how terrible every facet of life was in Victorian England. <br /><br /><b>On this episode: </b>we’re going to learn what it takes to turn a full size adult into a briquette. Why Jane Eyre stunk, and the best way to saw up a dead horse. I’ll give you a hint - time and bacteria work better than cutting tools alone. Work smarter, not harder.<br /><br />Well, would you rather be locked away for life against your will for no good reason and have Jack the Ripper as a cellie, do take your chances trying to escape during the worst fire you’ve ever seen? How many places do you know that have too many clients, spread over too large an area, being cared for by too few staff, with too little money and crumbling infrastructure? Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? But seriously, we look down our noses at health care from a century ago like we’re so great. We’re not perfect. No one is. But as imperfect as it might be, mental health care has never been better.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Do not go back to Victorian England. Disease, murder, and stink around every corner. It’s hard to overestimate how terrible every facet of life was in Victorian England. <br /><br /><b>On this episode: </b>we’re going to learn what it takes to turn a full size adult into a briquette. Why Jane Eyre stunk, and the best way to saw up a dead horse. I’ll give you a hint - time and bacteria work better than cutting tools alone. Work smarter, not harder.<br /><br />Well, would you rather be locked away for life against your will for no good reason and have Jack the Ripper as a cellie, do take your chances trying to escape during the worst fire you’ve ever seen? How many places do you know that have too many clients, spread over too large an area, being cared for by too few staff, with too little money and crumbling infrastructure? Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? But seriously, we look down our noses at health care from a century ago like we’re so great. We’re not perfect. No one is. But as imperfect as it might be, mental health care has never been better.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Well, the weatherman in today’s episode would like you to hold your judgement – and their beer.If you like shipwrecks, sharks and celebrity guest stars, this is the episode for you. <br /><br />In this episode: you will hear about some pretty casual olde-timey racism, the strange tale of a man swimming after a torpedo in hopes they could blow up together, and the dietary habits of sharks.It’s not every day we get to do an episode that contains shipwrecks, carnage, blind mistakes and untold heroism. But also, we warned you that “bad day at work” would become a pretty common theme in this podcast. We think we over delivered on this episode.<br /><br /><b>In this episode:</b> we learn of delirious sailors adrift in a life boat who find an onion bobbing in the water. It was because of this anecdote that many years later, I would do a video for Patreons comparing the experience of eating a purple vs. yellow onion like an apple. The verdict was “who cares” as it turns out, you eat that much uncooked onion in a single sitting will destroy your ability or desire to taste onion ever again. It’s been five months since I did this and I still look at them sideways. <br /><br />This was also an episode that kind of tested my ground rules for the show. I don’t cover acts of crime or terrorism or military misadventure, but I made a strong exception in this case because the victims were military - not the cause.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.

Well, the weatherman in today’s episode would like you to hold your judgement – and their beer.If you like shipwrecks, sharks and celebrity guest stars, this is the episode for you. <br /><br />In this episode: you will hear about some pretty casual olde-timey racism, the strange tale of a man swimming after a torpedo in hopes they could blow up together, and the dietary habits of sharks.It’s not every day we get to do an episode that contains shipwrecks, carnage, blind mistakes and untold heroism. But also, we warned you that “bad day at work” would become a pretty common theme in this podcast. We think we over delivered on this episode.<br /><br /><b>In this episode:</b> we learn of delirious sailors adrift in a life boat who find an onion bobbing in the water. It was because of this anecdote that many years later, I would do a video for Patreons comparing the experience of eating a purple vs. yellow onion like an apple. The verdict was “who cares” as it turns out, you eat that much uncooked onion in a single sitting will destroy your ability or desire to taste onion ever again. It’s been five months since I did this and I still look at them sideways. <br /><br />This was also an episode that kind of tested my ground rules for the show. I don’t cover acts of crime or terrorism or military misadventure, but I made a strong exception in this case because the victims were military - not the cause.<br /><br /><br />––––– <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU.
