Ice storms can cause major issues, from power outages to roof damages and of course, debris. The weight of ice can cause downed trees, power lines, and other structures, leading to hazardous conditions. So, let's talk some trash about it.
We bring back Melvin Ramos, a.k.a. Mr. Majestic Mel Mos, a.k.a. Captain Diabolical, to share some stories about his pre-debris days and how wrestling relates to debris management.
My geek side comes out in full force on this one. We talk IT, tech, AI and unmask a former wrestler-Mr. Majestic Mel Mos.
The times are changing as well as FEMA. There are some proposed changes in DC that may affect the way disasters and debris are managed going forward. In this "unplanned" episode, we provide an impromptu discussion of pure speculation.

If the title doesn't give it away, I am not sure what else to add. In this excerpt episode we went from discussing training to to formation of a debris academy to exploding electric vehicles. Fun times.
