The Garbage Heist and the Fire Truck Joyride When it comes to dumb criminal stories, this week’s episode of The Shallow End Podcast might just take the trash-covered cake. JG and Linds explore two jaw-dropping tales of grand theft municipal—one featuring a pair of Alabama geniuses who used a stolen garbage truck as their getaway vehicle in an ATM heist gone gloriously wrong, and another involving an Australian man who took a fire truck for a joyride… sirens blazing. From sparks flying down Birmingham streets to a cross-jurisdiction chase through New South Wales, it’s a masterclass in bad ideas—where optimism bias meets municipal machinery. The guys dissect what drives people to commit felonies in the least stealthy vehicles possible and find surprising poetry (and Shakespeare) in the stupidity. Plus, listener mail brings a “petrified wood curse,” an unexpected toddler interruption during mommy and daddy time, and a conversation about Maine slang that’ll make you rethink your “door yard.” Learn more about your ad choices.

After running through his options, though, he quickly came up with an easy way to score more money than many countries are worth!  What could go wrong? Oh, gentle listener, so much! Then Lindsay’s up with a DUI stop in rural Kentucky. Picture it!  An on-duty sheriff in his SUV is nearly killed by…well…another on-duty sheriff in his own SUV. Who pulled over whom?

Despite both Jethro and Lindsay oversleeping, the boys put on their big-boy pants, guzzled some coffee, and jumped back into their audio saddles!  J.G. kicks things off with the story of a man who thought it smart to rob a bank. But what to wear while committing a felony? A question for the ages. Suffice to say, the gentleman made some unique choices that might have landed him a prize in a bad Drag Revue. (And he still got caught.) Then, Linds takes us to the town of Murray, Kentucky, where a local man nicknamed "Cowboy Cody” took it upon himself to show displeasure at being asked to leave a popular watering hole.  But why use a firearm when Mother Nature can provide so many other things to be used as a weapon? (Hint: it rhymes with “raccoon.”) Enjoy this week’s dip in "The Shallow End!" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode #174 of The Shallow End is anything but shallow!  Jethro has the story of a Florida Man who robbed a gas station – but proved to be the single kindest man never to do so. So how did the cops have time to show up and catch him in the act? Well, it’s all about being polite, isn’t it! Then Lindsay goes down under (both geographically and in gastro-intestinal fashion) with the story of a woman who served a very "special lunch" to four guests. What happened? Hint: You may want to skip the mushrooms next time you’re invited to dinner – and go straight to the dessert! Enjoy this week’s brand new episode! Learn more about your ad choices.

Because it’s Labor Day week and we’re all emotionally wearing flip-flops, we’re rolling out a classic from the vault — one of your faves, featuring the ever-delightful Kat! First up, JG tells the cautionary tale of two friends who loved pranking each other… until one of them decided to take things a skosh too far. What starts as harmless hijinks quickly turns into “well now we both need therapy.” Spoiler alert: someone ends up questioning the definition of fun and also probably friendship. Then, Lindsay takes us on a majestic, chaotic trip back to the Civil War — where a certain overconfident general basically declared “Mission Accomplished” before the actual mission. It’s a tale of hubris, miscalculations, and the historical equivalent of sending the “I’m outside” text 30 minutes too early. And Kat? She’s here to provide the logic and the light existential dread. This is an episode about pranks, pride, and the perils of speaking before thinking. Also, friendship. And probably head injuries. 🎧 Press play. Revisit. Regret nothing.

omggg !!! Nobody stopped this jackass Doctor when he had the liver and spleen mixed up BEFORE the surgery started ? Or even when other Doctors said he didn't have the necessary skill to perform the surgery !? Or when this killer got ready to slice an artery??? Listen to the podcast Dr Death. You'll never be the same.
