The Lake Peigneur Vortex of 1980 | Episode 23

Buck up, idiots. Today’s episode is almost guaranteed to make your next workplace screw-up seem a little less screwed up. We've done a lot of bad day at work episodes. That was the original working title for the podcast. Most of our episodes make you feel more grounded, and hopefully safer in your daily life. This one is more about making you feel better about phoning-in your work sometimes. This is not normally the podcast you play around kids.or while eating, but today’s episode is going to be different. No blood loss. No body count. What happens in today’s story is unbelievably dramatic, but no one gets their face lasered off, or turned into steam, or crushed to death or any of the horrible endings people face repeatedly through the history of this show. And the only screaming will be with fear and shock, not because lost a limb or watched a loved-one explode.On this episode: you will learn that math is hard, that gravity don’t care about your feelings; you'll learn how to survive a fall without going to parachute school; and the best practices for outwitting a lake that is trying to eat you. All of that PLUS one of the biggest work place screw up stories of all time. Celebrity guests include: Joe Jackson (not the one you’re thinking of); actor & listener of the show, Brad Pitt; and confounding magicians and TV personalities, Penn & Teller.––––– 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. I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.
