The Shallow End

• #151: A Very Destructive Selfie

  In Episode #151, Jethro starts with a story of a woman looking for “The Perfect Selfie” at a swanky Los Angeles art exhibit featuring 12 very large and expensive pieces of…well…art. What could go wrong, we ask? Just a slight adjustment to line up the perfect selfie. Lean back just a few inches, and…well…something went very, very wrong.  Then, Lindsay tells us a story proving that politicians with inflated egos and stupid decisions are nothing new. This story goes back to 1917 from a German Foreign Minister who devised the perfect plan to keep America out of World War I. And we all know how well that idea worked!  Take those selfies and fire up the bratwurst! Episode #151 is a barn-burner! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• #149: A Dangling Shame

  Episode #149 of "The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth” is what episode #148 could have been if it just applied itself for once. Lindsay introduces us to an airline pilot who was very good at his job ferrying passengers to other lands safely and comfortably – until he forgot to bring something with him that you and I carry whenever we travel internationally. (Sometimes, the skies aren’t so friendly.) Then, Jethro tells us about an auto thief who came fully prepared to carry out his professional responsibilities – until he realized that the planet itself was moving away from him at one foot per second while he was working with his tools. Was it the Apocalypse? End Times? A bad hangover? Tune in to discover how this thief found himself 20 feet in the air! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• #148: Ratted Out By Salad

  Why are we surprised that episode #148 of TSE wasn’t stolen before it aired? Because it's chock full of burglars, is why! JG regales us with the story of three men hell-bent on burglarizing a hamburger shop. The prospect of the cash inside drew them. What they couldn't have known was how a two-pound tub of Macaroni Salad may have been too tasty to leave behind – but would also be their undoing. Lindsay’s burglar story comes to us from the Garden State of New Jersey, where a young man made an interesting decision to burglarize a home one night because the lights were off, and he assumed no one was home. He was – how to put this? – wrong. Hilarity ensued when he decided to make his getaway using the aptly-named Lyft (‘cause what other name would a burglar like more?).

• #147: Shut Up Dirk!

  On episode #147, Lindsay starts the show with a cautionary tale on why it’s never good to alter Mother Nature’s distribution of native species. Hawaii in the late 1800s dealt with a problem of rats in the sugarcane fields by…well…importing an animal from the other side of the world. It did not end well! And speaking of animals (!), J.G. tells us about two Welshmen who naturally found themselves in a pub. On the Gold Coast of Australia. A bit in their cups. Who decided at 2 AM that it was the perfect time to realize a lifelong dream of swimming with dolphins. The decision did not please the local SeaWorld theme park. Or it's prized penguin, Dirk. And that’s just the beginning of Jethro’s story! Join us, won’t you? If you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
