Somehow Ed and Deja were able to meet in person and record together in the same room while Kara lives on the opposite end of the Phoenix metropolitan area. However, it took them over an hour and half to figure out how to set up a microphone.

Thankfully Kara came prepared with an actual episode while Ed's computer kept resetting and glitching out.

In today's episode, Kara looks into one of the most critical assassinations in the 20th century: Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand. We typically agree that the Great War that followed the assassination was a dumpster fire, the events leading up to the even is it's own special of crazy including the actual attempt itself, which barely succeeded!

The time as come to share the rest of the events that befell Robert Falcon Scott and his crew between January and March of 1912. If you have not listened to Episode 31. Terra Nova Fire, you might want to go back take a listen to that episode before listening to this one.

In the first part, Ed sets the stage for the world wide craze of being the first one to set foot on the southern geographic south pole. The men who explored Antarctica were next level, and humanity hasn't quite seen this type of breed of man in quite some time. Yes these explorers all knew each other and they were all competing against each other, but they carried a ton of respect for each other.

In this second part, Ed breaks down the details surrounding the fateful day (s) where not only did Scott lose all his remaining men on his team to the elements, Scott himself succumbed to Antarctica's other worldly temperatures.

But Scott's expedition wasn't a failure even though he died, the fact his crew of scientists were able to extract so much information that the results would change the world, is a feat like none other.

Go ahead and wrap up in 5 different blankets, make a cup of noodles, turn on the heat in your house, and sit back and listen to a story that will make you glad you never became an explorer.

After a brief hiatus due to Ed always struggling with editing software and a few temper tantrums, the gang is back with an episode like no other.

In this episode, Ed dives into the Terra Nova ship / expedition in the 1910s, where three men simultaneously work together and as well as compete to be the first to get the south pole. Part 1 is going to set the stage for what will result in 4 men dying in what is perhaps one of the most complicated and ambitious expeditions up to this time in human history. This is all because Antarctica is the most inhospitable places on Earth with temps dipping to -100 to -150 Fahrenheit and winds ranging up to hurricane class speeds.

So if you want to get to the south pole, grab a warm blanket and take a listen!

In this episode, Kara comes out swinging with one of the most strangest dudes in all of human history... Roman Emperor Caligula.

In four short years, Caligula reshaped the glam-life of the ultra wealthy and put together a rather strange "court" if that is even a thing today or back then.

Caligula started off with all the potential one could ask of an emperor, but quickly went tits up. While the jury is still out on this guy's rationalism for his actions; he undoubtedly accomplished great things, while also destroying himself.

Kara does a great job in this episode proving the point that the number one cause of death of being a Roman emperor... is BEING A ROMAN EMPEROR!!!

Hey there!

Guess whose back? Deja's back, Deja's back, Deja's back.... But in this episode no one is talking about a monster... but maybe Salman Rushdie...

Salmon Rushdie wrote a book that landed himself on the wrong side of a huge sect of Islam... and it was exclusively accidental. Rushdie wanted to write a book that took a rather fevered dream / humorous approach to the Old Testament figures that may or may not have been influenced by intervening forces beyond our control.

Long story short, Rushdie decided to write a book, in the middle of a certain time, surrounded by a group of followers, that ultimately attacked someone who went too far in their world.

Join the intrepid trio of nerdiness as they explore the world of intense religious beliefs and a book intended to be a humorous satire.

It turns out that Ed doesn't know how to hit the "upload" button on Sunday when everything is supposed to be published. So it's a day late but not a dollar short.

Deja is back and she's got a banger episode that will be a two parter! In this episode, Deja is going to dive into the writings of Salmon Rushdie who is one of the most controversial writers of the post modern age.

Rushdie is an Indian born / British educated writer who is most known for his book, The Satanic Verses. In this book, Rushdie approached reality with magical realism and quickly lit a fire in a contentious period of world history known as the late 1980's / 1990's where lots of people of all religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds got super upset over a single book.

Ultimately, Rushdie was stabbed in the back and lost an eye over this book!!!

So join in on what could be the most divisive episode of The Day's Dumpster Fire could ever hope to produce. This episode will try and shed light on both sides of Rushdie's work in terms of his writing style and subject matter.

Contemporary mindset, mixed religious and political theory, with a splash of orthodoxic Old Testament interpretation... What could possibly go wrong?

***Note!*** We here at the Day's Dumpster Fire are strictly cautionary story tellers. No one on the team bears any ill will or disrespect to any race, creed, nationality, or gender. We're just a big bunch of nerds that are trying to tell stories of human history where we could have done things differently to prevent... well... dumpster fires***

Hey everyone!

In this episode, Ed makes everyone feel better about themselves by talking about the first ever massive oil tanker crash / spill in history. Yes that is correct in that we're talking about the Torrey Canyon oil tanker tanker that was supposed to be the pinnacle of technology for the day. This ship was also expanded to twice its size only to run aground off the Southwest coast of Great Britain in the early 1960's.

So join us in this epic retelling of one of the most awkward moments in human history where one nation had to call another nation and say, "Hey, um, we got a slight issue that might, if not most likely will affect your coastlines..."

Hey everyone!

Due to Ed's inability to actually figure anything out. This episode is coming to you a bit later than normal.

In this episode, Kara is regaling everyone with stories revolving around people in history who ever tried to "elevate" their lives with gun powder that China invention in year... ... ... something or something.

Anyways, humanity (at least the bros out there) have tried to utilize explosives to achieve new heights and other interesting things at the expense of blowing themselves up in the process.

So listen in because we also Deja back and we don't think she's going away anytime soon. Deja has a knack of dissolving Kara and Ed's nerdiness to make it palatable to 99% of the world's audience. This really applies to Ed's droning on and on and on about "sciencey" things.

Deja is also working on an epic episode involving Salmon Rushdie, so stay tuned to that masterpiece.

Lastly, make sure you tell your friends about this little show and if necessary, physically take their phones and find the episode for them. Trust us, you'll be doing them a favor and you'll be introducing your friend to the wide world of podcasting!
