The Byford Dolphin Incident of 1983 | Episode 32

Today, we’re going to make you afraid of water, and invertebrates, and working. 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! 
On this episode: 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. 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. 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. Celebrity guest stars include James Cameron, Jaques Picard, World Record holders Herbert Nitsch and Ahmed Gabr, and Nils Olav III the Penguin.––––– THANK YOU.
