  • Summary

  • Welcome to the jungle because this podcast is all about feeding that deeply human part of us all that is drawn to the crazy, the chaos, and makes us want to throw ourselves off the ledge into sweet oblivion. Delight in story after story of people purposely or accidentally getting themselves into insane situations. Some of these stories have amazing outcomes that are nothing short of inspiring. Other stories offer nothing more than the inferno of a dumpster fire that's filled with couches from you old college house, oily paper bags filled with the kind of illegal fireworks would make Joe Dirt happy, and old vhs cassette tapes of Full House episodes that your grandparents kept around for when you visited. We bring all of this together and light it a blaze just so that dark part of you that loves to look at train wrecks has something cozy up to. Yup, it's that kind of podcast. Sometimes you'll love that you hate it, and others you'll hate that you love it. That's your baggage, not ours, you figure your own stuff out, because that's not what we're here for. We're just here to tell you stories that will have you saying "what the actual f$!k" as you dive headlong into the craziness with us.
