Tip of the Iceberg
from The McGruff & Bitterman Podcast · host Tearing down social constructs one bridge at a time
The is the kind of stuff you could only get away with as a free-range kid in the 80's... In this episode, the boys hazily recount their crazy youth again with death-defying tales of "Fire-Races" in the bull rushes. A narrow escape from the Great General Edwards Bridge Fire that shuts down Rt.1A in the North Shore for two weeks will have you shaking your head in disbelief. Take a perilous ride with them on an iceberg across the frozen abyss of the Saugus River. Grab hold of the rusted, chrome bumper of the 75 Chevy Impala as they relive high-speed "bumper-jumping" crashes along Pines Road in Revere. It's truly a wonder they are still alive. WARNING: There is some extremely inappropriate banter around the 42 minute mark of this show. It is going to sound pretty harsh, even by our standards. But because of a legal contract I signed, I had to remove quite a bit of the content leading into the segment. As a result, the seemingly harsh words are presented completely out of context and our intent should not be judged on a literal basis. The segment was just so damned funny, instead of completely removing it, I decided to salvage it.
