    What word starts with "F” and ends with "uck?” “Firetruck," of course! Episode #156 hits the ground running with Lindsay’s story about a guy in England who loved him some firetrucks.

What went wrong? Well, as Sean Connery so aptly put it in “The Hunt For Red October,” “Not everything in here reacts well to bullets.” Tune in to find out what happened – but remember to wash your hands first!

    May 7 2025
    Episode #154 is a barn-burner! Jethro is up first with the tale of a man who decided to climb Mt. Fuji without proper gear at the wrong time of the year. And somewhere in all that ice and oxygen deprivation, he barely survived and lost his phone. But it’s what he did just a few days later that qualifies him as a Shallow End-swimmer! Then Linds shares the story of a drug dealer who marketed himself to strangers and police alike in very unusual ways. It’ll make you think twice about chatting with your next ride-share driver!

    #152: From Tide Pods to Shipwrecks
    Apr 23 2025
    Join hosts Schnebly and Toth in this episode of Shallow End, where they take a deep dive into the turbulent waters of online idiocy and historical misfortune. We got an email suggesting we revisit the topic of ill-conceived stunts, and since we already covered it in a previous episode, why not do it again? It's like recycling, but with more facepalms. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and possibly question the future of humanity as Schnebly and Toth run through the best of viral Internet challenges that were definitely thought through… said no one ever. From the "Tide Pod Challenge" (because eating laundry detergent is the new gourmet) to the "Fire Challenge" (because who doesn’t want to set themselves on fire for internet fame?), these stunts were guaranteed to go wrong—and spoiler alert: they did. So buckle up and prepare for a cringe-fest of epic proportions. But wait, there's more! Schnebly and Toth also dig into the tragically ironic fate of Captain John Kendrick. A once-renowned sea captain who somehow managed to turn every ounce of hubris into a series of horrible decisions. Get ready for a tale of twists, turns, and an unexpected plunge into historical calamity that will make you appreciate your own decision not to sail into the unknown with zero foresight. So, leave your dignity behind and dive into this mess of an episode with Schnebly and Toth. Whether you’re into facepalm-worthy internet stunts or you love a good, old-fashioned historical flop, this one’s got it all—and it’s wrapped in a nice layer of sarcasm and irreverence.

    #151: A Very Destructive Selfie
    Apr 16 2025
    In Episode #151, Jethro starts with a story of a woman looking for “The Perfect Selfie” at a swanky Los Angeles art exhibit featuring 12 very large and expensive pieces of…well…art. What could go wrong, we ask? Just a slight adjustment to line up the perfect selfie. Lean back just a few inches, and…well…something went very, very wrong. Then, Lindsay tells us a story proving that politicians with inflated egos and stupid decisions are nothing new. This story goes back to 1917 from a German Foreign Minister who devised the perfect plan to keep America out of World War I. And we all know how well that idea worked! Take those selfies and fire up the bratwurst! Episode #151 is a barn-burner! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(Sometimes, the skies aren’t so friendly.) Then, Jethro tells us about an auto thief who came fully prepared to carry out his professional responsibilities – until he realized that the planet itself was moving away from him at one foot per second while he was working with his tools. Was it the Apocalypse? End Times? A bad hangover? Tune in to discover how this thief found himself 20 feet in the air! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
