Falling

Joe, Toren, and Kevin take a look at plummeting to your death (and other outcomes) from heights both great and ridiculously small. We go from history’s Gemonian Stairs to the 1912 Eiffel Tower “Parachute Coat” incident to the most impressive falls from planes in recent memory including Alan MaGee, Nicholas Alkamade, and  Vezna Vulović. All this plus a Public Service Announcement on how to survive a bungee jumping accident and pop-culture most memorable falls! Plus: a special Celebrity Lesser of Two Evils recorded with skeptic-musician George Hrab! He’s not here for the whole episode but we managed to catch up with him while he was in Vancouver to ask him to choose between two horrible fates!
