May 23 - There Wasn’t Time to Think About It

from Wait, That's Random: This Day in History · host C.L. Berns

May 23, 2026 — Today is National Road Trip Day, which usually sounds like a good idea… until you’re a few hours into it.Today we’re looking at moments shaped by pressure and decision-making.From the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde in 1934, to Benjamin Franklin’s development of bifocals in 1785, to the high-stakes rescue of the USS Squalus in 1939.Plus, a look at Marvin Hagler, whose composure under pressure helped define his career.It raises a question about how decisions—whether fast or slow—shape outcomes.Anyway… that’s what I ended up finding while working through May 23.
