Doomsday is a history lesson that easily disguises itself as a horror story. We explore the most traumatic, bizarre and most awe-inspiring but largely unheard-of disasters from throughout human history and around the world including the science behind eve
The Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast is quickly becoming my favorite podcast. It offers a refreshing and amusing change from the countless true crime podcasts out there. This podcast has it all – laughter, tears, and even the occasional encounter with giant centipedes. It keeps you entertained and engaged, never leaving a dull moment. The hosts provide potentially life-saving information while also unlocking new paranoias in your psyche.
As someone who is disabled and spends most of their time at home, I have listened to a plethora of podcasts. The Doomsday stands out among them all and would be my desert island pick. Unlike other podcasts I enjoy that focus heavily on research, this one brings a unique twist to history and disasters.
The best aspect of this podcast is its well-researched content delivered by a host with a smooth and captivating voice. Each episode delves into historical disasters, both man-made and natural, providing fascinating facts and stories that I've never heard before. As a history buff, I appreciate how the podcast teaches me something new while also entertaining me.
Another positive aspect is the production quality of the podcast. The sound is clear, the music is minimal but effective, and the editing is seamless. The host's sense of humor adds to the enjoyment factor without being maudlin or disrespectful to the victims of these tragedies.
One potential downside to this podcast is that its subject matter may not be suitable for everyone. It delves into dark topics with humor, which may not sit well with those who prefer lighter content or are sensitive to jokes about disasters. However, if you have a morbid curiosity and appreciate dark humor, this podcast will keep you entertained for hours on end.
In conclusion, The Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. Its unique blend of wit, storytelling, and historical facts sets it apart from others in its genre. The host's voice is captivating, the research is thorough, and the humor is spot-on. I highly recommend this podcast to history lovers, true crime enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys a dark but entertaining listen.
We've had a lot of episodes underground, and none of them have been underwhelming. In fact, if you're not fans of claustrophobia, choking, burning, or being trampled, today's episode may be a little overwhelming.On today's episode: we will discuss how some of the richest men in America created a boiling, black mountain of crap as powerful as a small nuclear blast; we will – for only the second time in the show's history, describe a disaster made worse by a liberal and unexpected application of barbed wire; and we'll find out why sometimes, mass graves are just better.And if you were listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you'd get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where: you would learn how people who forget to patent their inventions die; we discuss the three most popular maiming injuries among child labour in the 1800s – number three will really surprise you; and we learn how people in the gentle age of this episode used water, electricity, cream and beef broth to unscramble your nervous system. This episode came by overwhelming request, and because I wanted to spend some time in every town destroyed during today's events, this became our longest episode ever. It's not all bad though. We'll get to watch the creation of the American Red Cross before our eyes. It is mostly bad though. Today's disaster sits easily in the top five worst things we've ever seen, and the bodycount would remain intact for the next 112 years – until the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in NYC.

We all complain about commutes. We all think we have it pretty bad. But unless your commute includes choking on toxic fumes, or being claustrophobically trampled in the dark while on fire, prepare to eat your feelings.On today's episode: we learn what makes the world capital of mud farts so fascinating; we'll discover why Soviet utilities designed for the utilitarian benefit of the masses are so flammable; and I'll make you understand the analogy that you don't survive a skydive accident just to get eaten by alligators. And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discuss: the marketing plan that included a media budget for murdering an elephant; the answer to the question, “what's the most aggressively violent disaster your hometown completely forgot”; the reason why Transit Authority cadaver removal kits include a kind of industrial spatula; and, we learn why Trauma Professionals call this kind of injury "the barbecue effect". If you remember our Mandhradevi Temple Apocalypse of 2005 and our St. Pierre Volcanic Bio-Swarm of 1902 episodes, what made those so special were the relentless waves of terror that presented themselves one after another - each more deadly than the last. This episode follows in the spirit of those predecessors with a very special reveal in the tunnel that surprised everyone. Speaking of tunnels, it's been a while since we've visited the underground and lived to talk about it. Without spoiling anything, this will be the worst underground vehicle disaster of all time, so no pressure.

Ever have a day at work so bad you wanted to climb, jump, or get sucked out a window?On today's episode: we answer the question, is 2025 in fact as awful a time to fly as it looks; we'll find out why you've never seen 400 mph wind exfoliation spa before; and we'll compare a commercial airliner to the Titan Submersible that imploded not that long ago.And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discuss: how a distrust of doctors can make you want to saw off your own fingers; you'd hear this whole jank sitch broken down for Gen Z; you'd learn why you shouldn't melon-ball your eyes out of your head if they get too cold; and we would meet the coldest person to ever live, and her dramatic journey from river corpse to successful radiologist.It's a pleasure to once again be able to present a story of survival so horrific you'd risk permanent sinus damage just listening to it. Not since our William Rankin Weathersode Disaster of 1959 episode have we followed in the footsteps of someone so unassumingly superhuman that they survived unimaginable levels of injury and torture. This episode also acted as double duty, answering the question: is it still safe for me to fly in 2025. We'll talk about the FAA, but we're not talking about politics. The closest I will come is to say it's entirely possible that one day America is run by write-in candidate, Walt Disney's unfrozen head mounted on Abraham Lincoln's animatronic body from the Hall of Presidents. America can do as it pleases. I am simply here to try to keep people safe, regardless on how you feel about the issue. And on that note, I'll keep my opinion safely stored within the episode itself, but spoiler: I think you're going to be okay.All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
What's the worst thing you ever saw at a sports game? Someone throw a battery at a Make-a-Wish kid? Sure, if you're from Philly, but what if you were from California.On today's episode: we'll talk about zombies and crucifictions and collapsing buildings before we even get into it; we're going to watch the shortest baseball game of all time; and we're going to cut off one of your limbs in one of the more claustrophobic ways possible.And if you were listening on Patreon… you would hear of one of the most extreme, but very different kind of arm-severing examples of self-rescue in history; the story of a must-have, closed-casket-funeral-friendly rescue device and the absolutely brutal, very public early use of it; and a really dirty, smutty explanation how earthquakes work.By popular request, we present The Loma Prieta Earthquake Disaster of 1989! So, we'll end up talking about my history with zombies and a popular crucifixion and a slowly collapsing building - two of three events set in San Francisco itself – all before we settle in to watch the shortest baseball game of all time.Not just that, we're actually going to (for the first time ever) interrupt a safety segment with a Patreon-exclusive retelling of the shockingly horrific and awful just-kill-me-now-already story of Aron Ralston. You might remember him as the guy who chewed his arm off after an 800 pound boulder pinned him to a canyon wall in Utah. He didn't actually chew his arm off though. What he did was at least a thousand times worse.We'll also do a little retelling of the great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Can't not do a San Francisco Earthquake disaster without at least bringing it up.Celebrity guest appearances include world famous author and travel enthusiast, Bill Bryson; crucified magician and Jesus' friend, Saint Andrew; real estate suckers Joe Montana and Kevin Durant; all four Beatles; sports broadcasters, Al Michaels and Tim McCarver; newscaster, Ted Koppel; crosstown World Series players Dave Stewart, Mike Moore, Jose Canseco, Dave Parker and Terry Kennedy.All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcastTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@doomsday.the.podcastIf you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee atwww.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
Do you know the difference between your guts and balloon animals? Organs are ever-so slightly more flame resistant! On today's episode: you'll learn how to squeeze every penny out of a beloved animal corpse; I'll accidentally teach you why fire is the best way to get rid of leaves, or a body; and you'll learn the surprisingly simple thing you should do if you found yourself full-bodied origamied into debris. And if you were listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discuss: two warm up disasters that lead to this one; how close medicine cabinets used to be narcotic liquor cabinets; the incredible fallout of trying to kill people on Twinkies; and the story of high fallutin' wild west rodeo “war hero” Buffalo Bill Cody I'm quick to point out to listeners that I don't like doing episodes where children or animals are hurt, and I'm happy to report the only things dying in this episode are 86 fully grown adults! (And a few animals, I'm sorry, it happens). However, at the very end of this episode, I really let it go to hell. First I tell you about an elephant that unplugged itself and created a minor panic that my parents may or may not have named my sister after – immediately followed by a barrage dog, bird, car and plane noises all competing to make it unlistenable, but I did it for a very good reason as you will see. Without getting too deeply into it, I have said pretty much since the beginning of this show that we need to keep as many listeners alive and safe as we can. A lot of times, that just means talking.

We're going to hell! Well, not hell exactly. We're going to rural Illinois, but for the purposes of this introduction, we are going to be spending time today in hell. On today's episode: you're going to learn why fourth graders make such poor employees; you'll learn how to properly panic like a professional; and you will learn how to tell people to “get out” using nothing but a shotgun and morse code.And if you were listening to this on Patreon… you would also learn the story of the Patron Saint who watches over people who explode; you'd learn why underground coal fires are the disaster you can tell your great, great, great, great, great grandchildren about; you would hear a quick anecdote about nicotine poisoning in the workplace and inappropriate banana usage; and you would find out who gets coal for Christmas.This was another bad-day-at-work episodes, but it was a good one, because it happened in such a small, unassuming place, but had safety ramifications that spread around the world. This is dedicated to everyone who loves mining and mining disasters. And on that note, most people don't think about mining very often - so this is my love letter to the industry. You love mining, you ask? No, not overly, but in my opinion, our entire evolution as a society and as a species would have been impossible without men willing to climb into the earth to do the work too frightening or dangerous for the masses. On the upside, at least it pays well, and we do get the occasional story out of it.
Do you like fire but hate airports? Have we got the episode for you. On today's episode: we'll be pulling off the front of our skulls and spending some time fingering our limbic systems; we'll learn why not all fire rescue services are created equal; and we'll find out how hot it needs to be for your skin to melt off.And if you had beenlistening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discuss: why calling Germans stoic clock-watching robots is considered so flattering; you'd find out if you'd be considered an idiot, moron or imbecile back in the day; and you'd learn how Dusseldorf compares to Hiroshima.I will also point out that at the end of the episode, there is a very special Book Giveaway contest! That's right. I'm giving away the very first book/piece of research I ever used in the creation of the show. William McKeown's "Idaho Falls: The Untold Story of America's First Nuclear Accident" using a once-in-a-lifetime Name That Tune style contest. You'll just have to see for yourselves.I'll be doing a few listener shout-outs at the end of the episode, and also thanking you all for your kind encouragement during a time when I wanted to punch my own face off. I don't have a safety segment against that kind of thing, so your gentle intervention was appreciated. We ended last year with a bang and start the new year with a whoosh! I hope you all at least began 2025 in a better space, but even if you didn't, we're burning down an airport together, so forget about your worries for an hour or so.
Let's all blow our sad kazoos in honour of a milestone I didn't see coming. FIVE YEARS we've been doing this, and I know a lot of people were never able to make their way through the whole back catalogue, and for good reason. So I sat down and did the math:We've shared 3,489 minutes together! That's just episode time.That's just over 58 hours of listening to me trying to make you throw up but then earning your respect back by teaching you how to sew your own arm back on. I tried to figure out how much production time went into that and if I'd started January first and never slept or blinked or ate, it would have taken till mid-April. Imagine screaming for three-and-a-half months straight.I added a little intro pointing out how great you've been, how helpful you've been, and how much I sincerely appreciate you all being there while I muddle my way through this as professionally as possible. And in this I had the thought to give away the book that started this whole podcast. William McKeown's book “Idaho Falls, the Untold Story of America's First Nuclear Accident". I thought it'd make a nice giveaway. Then I had the thought - do I do a charity auction of all my disaster books? Let me know what you guys think.All that said, we'll all be back for a new episode where we'll be burning down an airport together in no time. I'd say get your safety glasses ready, but they're just going the melt over your eyes.
Hellooo! And welcome to a very special, extra girthy Orthodox Christmas Disastersode! It is a miracle this happened. I was deathly ill with a dying dog for eight magic days this holiday, and the master file was irretrievably destroyed mere days ago, and so the Christmasode becomes a New Years' flavoured Orthodox Christmasode.This episode fulfills the wishes of more listeners than any other episode before. Together we will be visiting the hands-down most dangerous place on earth; you will learn why this is probably the worst bad day at work episode of all time; we'll visit earth's model post-apocalyptic suburb; and we'll find out how much radiation it takes to melt your hands off.Also if you were listening to this on Patreon… you'd get hear the story of the most irradiated intern in history and his trusty axe; you'd take a side trip to Harrisburg Pennsylvania to find out how their local electric company nearly destroyed the planet; and you'd learn about the most lethal tourist photo opp anywhere on Earth.I was recently reminded I do this at the request – the literal deathbed request of my father who I lost this time last year. They weren't his last words or nothing – but I've wanted to do this story to share just one of the stories from the homeland he was forced to flee as a child. And on that note, because my dad carried the DNA of Olga of Kiev in his veins, I remind you, your new year's resolutions can be as petty as seeking revenge and disrespecting your enemies. Whatever you choose to do, I only want you to be safe.I thank you all for your patience and excitement over the last year. May you all have a happy new year and a better 2025.All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
We've made a lot of fun of meteorologists on this show. Nope, that's it, that's the whole intro. On this episode: you'll hear about the biggest meteorological blunder in US history that went on to change US history by killing a major American city; you'll hear the absolute saddest story about orphans of all time; and you'll learn about the worst cadaver recovery and fatality management in the show's history. Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed why Hurricane Gertrude and Fifi have to make room for Vince or Tupac; we talked about the biggest meteorological blunder in British history; PLUS you would learn about two tangentially related local-area disasters – The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, and The Texas A&M Bonfire Disaster of 1999. I have a mild preference for stories where the actions of an individual become crucially linked to a disaster. Not because I like blaming people. Frankly, the idea of the responsibility for a colossal death toll resting in the hands of a single individual is horrifying. And this was an insane death toll. Very few of our stories ever kill into the thousands like this. And like most disasters, they result from a combination of factors all working together for the worst collective outcome. Oh, and Helen Keller makes an appearance in this episode!If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
Hello! And welcome to this very brief end-of-year update of Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous podcast! Together we rediscover some of the most traumatic, bizarre and awe-inspiring but largely unheard-of or forgotten disasters from throughout human history and around the world.Let me begin today's exciting episode by explaining the next episode will be late but I wanted to use this opportunity to quickly get you salivating over a few things coming up, and explain a few things that'll make you all “say whaaat?”I want to do something reeeally big for December. I've been in discussion with a surprising number of you who've settled on a common and popular request: a Very Doomsday Christmas Chernobylsode! Hang the holly and take your iodide caplets – what's more festive (and on-brand) than a little face-melting horror for the holidays?Not just that – a very unique and singular listener of the show asked, nay, begged to hear a minisode covering and explaining the Waffle House Index. And the request came from highly unusual origins. You ever do a DNA test? Well, I did a DNA test, and for my Patreons, I'm going to be sharing the very complicated, bittersweet, lightly tragic and dramatic story of my discovery. And whatever you're guessing – you're already wrong.When people find a flaw in the editing or sound production, or a week goes by without a show, I point out this show is created while the rest of you sleep, and I'm happy episodes release at all. And if it wasn't for my Patreons, they would not – I can't emphasize that enough. If not for the generosity of our Patreon supporters, I would move onto male stripping or pet theft or something really shady and there would not be a show. If you were lucky enough to live near a Waffle House or already know exactly how your family tree works, why not celebrate by considering becoming a supporter at Patreon.com/FuneralKazoo. Early episodes with no ad breaks and additional ridiculously interesting material in each new episode are up for grabs. If the spirit of the season moves, but only so much, you're very welcome to visit buymeacoffee.com/doomsday and just buy a cup of coffee so to speak. You can reach out on twitter, instagram and facebook as DoomsdayPodcast or fire us an email to doomsdaypod@gmail.comOn the next episode: Sorry I had to blow you off for a week, but I'm confident that this new episode is going to blow you away. Maybe into a tree, or into a broken section of flying railroad track – who knows. Either way, we're all going to drown! It's the Galveston Hurricane Disaster of 1900!But until then, we'll talk soon. Safety googles off. And thanks for listening.

If you're like me, when it comes to sporting events, the only thing coming out of the stands should be cheers and chants, and the only thing leaving the field should be the occasional ball or a t-shirt fired from a canon. We'll come back to that.On this episode: you'll find out which sports fans tried to kill Santa Claus; we'll find out what stadium security personnel and Acorn Cop have in common; and we'll meet the very first person to ever come back to life after dying on the show.Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed the theatre of human pain that is professional soccer; you'd learn about the single worst fan over-reaction to the loss of a game in sports history; you'd take a listen through the incestuous, genital-laden world of European sports chants; and you'd learn why urine works better on tear gas than jellyfish stings. They say at its core, soccer transcends language, class, or background. It's all about people coming together with nothing more than a ball and some open space. All that will be true about today's episode, except for the part about space. A lot of disasters are the result of multiple preventable causes coming together in the worst way. Nowhere is that more true than in today's episode - but for the most part, it was the police. The Ghana Institute of Architects may have called the setting for today's story a death trap, which is why I have petitioned to change the name to the Ghana Institute of Architects and Psychic Predictions.

Today I bring you the gift of horror, this time as told from a very personal level. Full disclosure, today's story is a weird one, and you're not going to believe the escalation of details, but that's why we're all here.Today will be an all weather-related disastersode, and the cast of characters won't count in the hundreds or the thousands – it will be just one brave man, who – spoilers – survives everything I'm about to tell you. A single man, pitted against what I believe you will think of as the worst day at work we've ever covered on this show.I originally wanted to make this straight Patreon content during the recent Bangladesh Hail Disaster of 1986 episode, but at 40 minutes, you can understand why I spun it off into its own story – and I tried to keep it brief, but It could easily have been longer.I can't honestly think of anyone in history with the kind of mental resilience of gumption to make it through an experience this insanely testing without losing their marbles, let alone their life. William H Rankin will forever live on in the imaginations of those who fear flight and all aspects of air-travel with awe and terror – and I hope you enjoy his tale.

Today we'll be attending the most prestigious vehicle race in the world. You think that sound exciting, well just wait for the off-roading portion.On this episode: we'll take a look at the only car ever compared to a barbecue; we're taking in the only sporting event in history that was later compared by the press to the holocaust; and you'll hear about the first accidental public use of an unintentional horizontal guillotine.Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed the upper limits of human reaction time; you would get to meet America's most physically damaged stuntman; you would also be treated to more Dodge Caravan Math than you could fly a rocket bike over; you would learn about a non-sexual, full body invisible burning phenomena; and on-topic, we will look at the history of strange ways people have died at today's events, just in different years.I start this episode with a quaint tale of surviving a highway crash in a Ford Pinto of all things, cover you in minced spectator, and by the end I am going to teach you the horrific fate of drug abuser and former hockey legend, Tim Horton. In the middle, I'm going to do my best to show you in every way possible how automotive racing is the most dangerous sport imaginable, and then why your daily commute is 1,000x duller and even deadlier. RIP my three dead cars.

Together we've seen an awful lot of $@!# across time and space and it's only natural that you would have questions – so here is your chance hear them answered. Maybe learn something a little gross, maybe a little interesting. This is my chance to publicly answer some of the friendly, odd and occasionally gross questions that feed in through our various social media channels. On this episode: I'm going to look at franchising disaster into child-friendly fare; I'll make a very child-unfriendly choice between two equally terrible ways to die; and I'm going to make a very stomach-unfriendly choice between two equally terrible things to eat. No spoilers, but after much deliberation, a coin tells me I'd prefer to die by wood chipper than be killed by an elephant. I also review our entire history of episodes to figure out which would be the most entertaining for children and Times Square tourists. And in the end, I eat onions. Multiple onions. Like apples. If you're looking to have me eat fire or you're just curious to hear my take on things rattling around upstairs, feel free to holler.

When you think of clouds and dangerous behaviours, you immediately think of getting zapped by lightning, or maybe tossed into another county by a tornado – but you never think you're going to get repeatedly punched in the brain harder than Mike TysonOn this episode: you'll learn why telling people the body is 80% water is misquoting a war crime; you'll learn about the time it rained every day for 2 million years in a row; and you'll see how a simple cloud can make you look like people tested baseball bats on you, and why you should basically wear a helmet everywhere all the time. Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 15 minutes where we discussed why everyone was so afraid of Canadians during WWII; you'd hear the abbreviated history of British Evil, including the single greatest act of geographical terrorism of all time; you'd learn why the word moisture makes people want to peel their faces off; you would learn about a European Mountain Goddess who filled a lake with partially decomposed skeletons; and you'd get to hear an actual spin-off prequel disaster from today's main tale. My top three-ish list for biggest things falling from the sky go: meteors, then planes, then birds, with hail collecting the pewter medal for coming in fourth. This fits nicely into my “let's visit more of the world” suite as promised, and more than a few of you have said weather-related episodes are your favourites. Well, it turns out, Bangladesh is beautiful – but it's currently undergoing a governmental job quota scandal/rubber bullet block party which makes it just a tad unsafe to visit. That said, visiting unsafe places is kind of our whole gig, and at least we got to explore a kind of disaster we've never covered before.If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
It's picnic season, and if you thought ants were the most annoying uninvited guest you could face, have we got a story for you. On this episode: we learn why Georgia and Australia are basically the same thing; we'll learn why American freight and commuter trains make so many unscheduled stops; and we'll describe a situation where stop, drop and roll loses all meaning.Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 10 minutes where we discussed two other related disasters, including the deadliest case of mass curiosity in United States history; you would learn why we run like molasses in our nightmares; and you'd hear the tale of one man who has to be bound and drugged to keep him from jumping out of windows. This came as a request from a listener that I was happy to oblige. It's a terrible story, but one that reminds us that the shared experience of fear, loss, and uncertainty breaks down barriers that might have previously divided us. Trauma can bond and unite us in ways that ordinary life rarely does. Ironically, it's the thing that brings us all together on this show. On topic, almost half the bridges in the continental US have been treated worse than residents of seniors homes, so be careful out there. Celebrity guests include silk worm Utopiast, James Oglethorpe; colonial fairy godfather, King George II of England; political opinionist, Kanye West, and a very brief cameo from Jesus Christ.If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
Bad day at work episodes are some of my favourite. Sometimes you put out a brochure with a typo. Sometimes you ding the bosses car. Very rarely do you accidentally destroy a $30 million nuclear missile. On this episode: you'll learn the history of human violence from Paleolithic shoving to nuclear annihilation; I'll teach you how to sneak into a top secret missile silo; and there is a disaster in this episode – but unlike most – this one uses the phrase “blown skinless”.Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 11 minutes where we discussed how frighteningly close we've come to accidental Armageddon and the one man who saved all of humanity; why the government spends $10,000 on a hammer; you'd learn how you can buy your own nuclear missile silo; and you'd hear the story of the fastest manmade object of all time which actually predates the Sputnik launch.As far as bad day at work episodes go, this one has it all. Bad conditions, bad hours, bad moral, leaking poisons, radiation exposure, and a never-ending, sneaking suspicion, that no matter what, you're probably going to die at work. We've never had a work-related episode where if everything goes to plan, everybody dies. Everyone alive at the time spent most days waiting for what seemed like the inevitable apocalypse to come, but some how it didn't. And by the time you're finished this episode, you're going to believe as I do, that us all still being here and alive is a complete fluke. Celebrity guests include the first proto-human to have their face eaten off by a porcupine; mockery of a bad Halloween costume and former President Richard Mulhouse Nixon; the entire Ocean's Eleven heist team except it's only actually you, and a very quick cameo from The Little Dutch Boy, who again did nothing, because he wasn't real.

Some people think it's weird when they hear travel by sea described as romantic. Between the vomiting and the contusions and the lacerations and the spinal injuries – I'm confident this episode will help you discover whatever the opposite of romance is. On this episode: you'll learn why Captain James Cook left Hawaii with a knife in his head – and chest – and back and abdomen and face; you'll learn the clothes-eating, skin-ripping, skull-flattening results of jumping feet first into an active hurricane; and you'll hear about recovery efforts somehow more damaging than the original disaster And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 10 minutes where we discussed:• why in about 600,000 years New Zealand will be some of the most prized real estate in the world• we clarify why a corpse in a captain's outfit isn't a must-have after every disaster• you get a sad reminder that not all ship crews are created equal• you hear all about the Marmite Disaster of 2011 that killed over 20,000 people and injured another 8,300• and you'll learn of the horrific tale of the worst, most sea-sickening voyage of all time.Full disclosure, we'll make a little bit of fun of Australia in this episode, but less than a minute's worth, I swear. And it's all in good fun. In fact, it's the only real fun to be had. I did this episode as a thank you to a listener from New Zealand, not having been there, and based purely off having read more individual rescue tales for the story than any other episode of this show to date, I have to say this. My first exposure to NZ culture was through a movie called Once Were Warriors. I'll discuss it quickly in the episode, but it basically painted the country as an urban living hellscape of social problems. My takeaway from preparing this episode is that New Zealanders are warm, caring, brave and selfless. It was a pleasure to put together, and we'll be back. Celebrity guest stars include: filmmaker and hobbit enthusiast, Peter Jackson; knife-wound collector and world traveller, Captain James Cook; extratropical cyclone and buzzkill, Cyclone Giselle; sea-sickness pioneer and turtle collector, Charles Darwin; and aquatic-themed Diety and pro-nudist, Poseidon.All that said, I am giving away a jar of Marmite to one lucky listener.

A mountain is just about the most stable and serene thing in nature. But every now and then, one says “not today”! On this episode: we'll see how a volcano was more deadly to humanity than that asteroid was to the dinosaurs; we'll meet the most oblivious reporters in history of news gathering; and we'll see repeatedly what happens when human flesh comes in contact with glowing hot rocks.Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed the top four deadliest volcanoes in history, the most famous person in human history to actually swan dive into a volcano, why being eaten by a bears or struck by lightning is better than what happens in this episode, the strange tale of 800,000 Icelandic farting sheep, and what accidentally cooking your friend's brain smells like – including a quick cooking tip.Even I was impressed with how gory today's story turned out. There were way more, very specific details I could have shared about various injuries, but decided there had to be a line. As for how many other people will have their faces blown off in unpredicted volcanic eruptions, but one will be too many and a hundred won't be enough.If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
If you're like me and you would rather burst into flames than go shopping, have we got the story for you…Special shout out to my UK listeners! On today's fresh new episode: we'll see how cold and aloof British parents can be; we'll see how bad psychology makes some shoppers believe they are practically immortal and fire proof; and we'll see which planet in our solar system has better, more breathable air than was available in today's story – and hint, it's not Earth.Let me mention, there are actually three disasters in this episode. The actual disaster in Manchester, another one at an IKEA right off the bat, and that poor Woolworths that Hitler hated? He hated it with a rocket. And the reaction of some victims of this disaster would lead to the creation of an actual area of study for academics interested in the bizarre behaviour of people in emergency situations. We've had people walk into burning buildings before because of trauma, but this will be something completely different.At the time this episode took place, it was the worst fire-related tragedy since WWII, but we'll also discover how this disaster changed the history of home and business safety and ended up saving thousands of lives.Special celebrity guests include retail super juggernaut, Frank Woolworth; hated former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher; poison obsessed Swiss physicist, Walter Jaeger; worst mother in the world, Catherine McGuinn; British author and redneck enthusiast, George Orwell; former President Donald J. Trump; former Philippino dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda; and the former wealthiest man in America, Sam Walton.And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 9.5 minutes where we discussed:• where Philippino dictators and Donald Trump fit into NYC's real estate dick measuring contest• where American rednecks came from• the conspiracy surrounding Mattress stores on every corner across the US• and we'll took a minute to find out just how much Hitler hated Woolworths If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
Someone once said that skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face. Today, we learn that skiing can do a lot worse things to your face than knocking down a tree.On this episode: On today's episode: we'll see how hot dogging at work can destroy your soul; you'd forever remember the list of countries that make up the Alps thanks to MILFGASS; and we'll see how the north American concept of giving out awards regardless of merit actually began with the military. This is I believe our third trip to Bella Italia, and I don't want to spoil the duplicitous little twist in this episode. There is a story arc of an attempted redemption from sin. Justice will be paper thin. There may be some awards handed out. It'll get weird, however many times it needs to. If you've never been in a gondola in a wind storm halfway up a mountain, this is as close as you're going to get. And by the time you're done, you'll wish you'd just spent an awful afternoon teetering over certain death. I you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 13 minutes where we discussed:• why I can't sell stupid moon rocks• we meet the single least likely and least prepared athlete in the history of the winter Olympics• we find out who the funniest people roasting in hell are• and we reveal how Google is trying to convince us all to poison and kill ourselvesIf the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels:Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
In this episode, homes and buildings will sadly be blown away and destroyed, and you'll say “fireworks?” and I'll say “it sure does”. On this episode: we look at the Netherlands pyrotechnic super boner; we explore the fact that a time bomb could be ticking away in your area without you knowing; and we'll uncover one governments' habit of sweeping disasters under the rug by cleaving a transport plane through an apartment building. No real spoiler here, but this is one of those episodes where the bad guys carried on the shoulders of the courts like misunderstood anti-heroes, and the authorities in general show a fairly unhealthy disregard for human life. But to pull it back to a human level, these people had their overly-tall hairdos rearranged, and we coined a whole new phrase for this show: “gawk block”. I think I'll make some gawk blocker t-shirts … one day.And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discussed:• why the Little Dutch boy was full of crap• you'd learn how many dead children it would actually take to plug a significant dam break• and you'd enjoy another whole minisode, all about the all-time deadliest firework related tragedy of all time which may come as a surprise – the wedding of Marie Antoinette to King Louis the XVI!

The Cleveland Balloonfest Disaster of 1986 | Episode 69 Balloons often represent happiness, but if you've ever had to explain to a crying child why their balloon flew away and won't be coming back, you know that balloons are monsters. On this new and much requested episode: you'll learn the origin of the phrase, “it seemed like a good idea at the time”; we learn why Cleveland is called the Mistake by the Lake, and we'll see what is probably the most amount of damage one could possibly hope to achieve with balloons.And if you are thinking of listening to this as a Patreon supporter, for the first time ever, there are TWO ENTIRE MINISODES within this episode that no one else will get to hearThe first on the Cuyahoga River Fire Disaster of 1969; and a second on the Cleveland 10¢ Beer Night Disaster of 1974. We also look at the horrible history of promotions and publicity stunts that backfired catastrophically; and we learned why you never fire guns.About the actual main story here, we are definitely in a Cleveland state of mind, and I will tell you this one quote from the episode: Literally no part of this came together like it was supposed to, and in keeping with Cleveland's long habit of not having things go it's way, one observer was quoted as saying “it's actually quite impressive how badly it turned out”. There are terrorist attacks that aren't as successful as balloon fest.If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
Hello all. Welcome to the very first Doomsday Automotive Review segment. I've never done one of these before, and most importantly, I shouldn't have to, but here we are.It was originally released as part of bonus Patreon content, but I'm sharing it here with you now to buy me a few days to get the next episode together. Since we originally brought it up, more Tesla Cybertrucks have wrapped around trees, smoked by semis, accidentally confusing the startup toggle for the self-destruct sequence. And apparently, the reason people are facing that five-hour restart time is because they activated car wash mode. Here's the thing - as we said, you have to keep this thing as clean as hell - cleaner than anything else you own, and if you use it in a car wash without activating car wash mode - guess what happens? They void your warranty. Good thing no one who owns a Cybertruck needs to work - or they would be pretty fired for that kind of nonsense. And the stock has continued to slump. Might have something to do with lying to shareholders about how many of these things they've actually sold. For clarification, they've sold less than half of what the original Back to the Future style Delorean did back in the day - and the Delorean is widely regarded a massive commercial flop. Anyways I wanted to thank you all for listening. I'm sharing this with the bulk of my audience just because you deserve to be safe - physically and financially, and I am here for you. I'll be back next week with an all new episode including two full minisodes inside the regular episode, special for my Patreon listeners. I think getting episodes a little early with no sponsor interruptions and with additional, ridiculously interesting material in each new episode is worth it. If you agree, you can find out more at patreon.com/funeralkazoo It would really help fulfill my dream of doing this full time. If you and a few thousand of your friends could spare a buck or two, you would really help keep the show – and frankly, me – alive Also, send me your screams. I'm going to be holding 2024 auditions for future episode victims!
Fun fact: Airplane accidents have a 95.7% survivability rate, according to the US National Transportation Safety Board. This story actually has a 99.02% survivability rate – but those that do die – you might want to limber your neck, because you're going to be shaking your head.On this episode: you won't learn to fly a plane but I will be able to teach you how not to fly one; we'll learn what happens when you go skydiving at ground-level; and we'll learn about a victim who was killed by her own rescuers - twice. This story will showcase what became of a once proud company known for safety and innovation, and how they've become the laughing stock of airlines. Speaking of laughing, we're also going to test your sense of humour in this one. For starts, yes, one of the victims has something unimaginable happen, and for no good reason - twice! And it's not just the circumstances of the death that will get off to a weird start - it's the media's coverage of the event. I'll tell you about that right at the end, and ho lee fuk is it a weird one.Celebrity guests include: virtuoso and piano enthusiast, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; nervous former pilot from Airplane: The Movie, Ted Striker; one-man anti-terrorist task force and movie star, John McClane; and a quick visit from professional worriers, Serena Williams and Tom Hanks.And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 12 minutes where we discussed:• Canada's love/hate relationship with a retailer legally called Crappy Tire• how Boeing became such an absolute fart of a company• we recapped the beloved Christmas tale Die Hard 2• we explored the parallels between this disaster and Airplane: The Movie• and the world's first safety segment within a safety segment where we cover what to do if you survive a plane crash and the universe tries to Final Destination you about it If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at: www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdwSpotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuwIHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5jPodchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6wStitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vwGoogle : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxattSpreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22suPodchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6wRadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kecPocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdrBreaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfaytDeezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcastInstagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcastTwitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday
With apologies for the absense of new material, I'm a bit under it and overwhelmed - not much unlike the passengers of the OceanGate Titan Submersible just under a year ago! This is a piece of bonus content which I described as "a somewhat rushed minisode that once again turned out to be not so mini". It was based on the best evidence and understanding of events that was available at the time. I think I can safely say no much has changed since then, so I stand by it. I also stand by some substantially backed-up billionaire bashing.I did my best to cut through the social media clutter and applied my own math as best I could - but the fact about this disaster is it is unprescidented. We're talking about physics and hydrodynamics at levels we have zero experience with, and no real way to test, or reason to try. So many things had to go wrong for this to happen, and I will happily singing-telegram-style deliver the blame directly to Stockton Rush's door.In this new episode, you will learn:• Just how fascinatingly irresponsible Stockton Rush was• Why making fun of dead billionaires is good for you• Exactly how unbelievably nightmarish the last trip of the Titan wasThere will be math and science and gelatinous goo, all for you my loyal listeners.Speaking of Bonus Content.

How big an issue will we be talking about? To this day, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, our story remains the largest concentration of living creatures, ever.Celebrity cameos include the God of the Old Testament; biblical prophet Moses; the Angel of Death, Pharoah Ramesses II of Egypt; Aesop the Greek fable man; Frau Troffea, queen of the Strasbourg plague dance, and human guinea pig John Stapp. Find us on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsdayThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4866335/advertisement
It's been a while since we did an episode with such cartoonish levels of bloodshed and awful behaviour. No joke. This is next level inhumane nonsense here, folks.On today's episode: We'll see what happens to the body after spinning around an ocean-going paddle wheel, we'll see how much woman and children were worth in a disaster before the 1900s, and you'll find out how bizarre it feels to be stabbed while presumedly waiting to sexually assault drowning victims. And if you were listening on Patreon, you'd also learn how not to become a scurvy-riddled corpse, you'll hear about the drunk driving death of the most isolated tree on Earth, we'll see how many maggots or worms it would take to press into a porterhouse steak, we'll discuss the worst, most blood-soaked maritime shipboard punishments, and we'll even cover the tragicomic clown show that was the Costa Concordia crash of 2005.I've said more than a thing or two here that might give you pause - but let me also tell you, by the time this thing is done, there's gonna be a parade! Also, I shout out a bunch of new Patreon supporters, but I want to remind you all that there is more than enough room in my heart for all of you. I love and appreciate you all.

You've flown on planes that were late. You've flown on planes that experienced turbulence. You've even flown on planes with unruly passengers, but I'm willing to be you've never flown on a plane that melted.On today's episode: we'll do our best not to end up headless in prison, you'll learn the most disturbing thing to ever unintentionally fall from an airplane in aeronautic history, and we'll find out if Canadians are actually evil. I'd also like to point out that if you were listening to this episode as a Patreon member, not only would you have heard it sooner and add-free, but this episode would be almost 15 minutes longer as we looked into why your maps suck, the death of flat earthers, the world-changing power of informercials, the Great Oman Cyclone of 1970, oh - I taught you how to become rich, and we touch on about a half dozen other ways people have died terribly in the east. So if you had visited Mecca at any point in the last 220+ years, there is a chance you might have seen anything from a cartoonishly flattened foot to a stack of bodies too tall to see over. But thankfully, a very slim mathematical chance. And what don't we take on this show? Slim mathematical chances. Doomsday has the safest, most well-prepared listenership in the world.

By popular demand, we are staying in the Depression Era and doubling down on the disaster. We've done blended and mixed disasters before, but welcome to our very first two-fer plane and elevator episode. On today's episode: you'll hear about the highest stakes game of keep-away ever, the worst kind of airline fuel to use as shampoo, and you'll hear about a woman who broke a table in half with her face before setting a world record for not dying. And speaking of tid bits and tangents, I'd like to point out that if you were listening to this episode as a Patreon member, not only would you have heard it sooner and add-free, but this episode would be almost 10 MINUTES longer as we looked into the most unusual “self-guided tours” off the Empire State Building, how easy it was to score free smack in 1945, the legend of Killdozer, and a conspiracy-free take on how cheap real estate contributed to 9/11 By the end of this episode, you won't believe how many people have flown into NYC - literally. The B-25 crash was so intense and bizarre, it actually pushed actual World War II off the front pages of newspapers – for about a minute. But, as does happen throughout history, it was all but immediately purged from the public memory by the bombing of Hiroshima just a week later Find us on any of your favorite channels Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast I want to thank my Patreon listeners.

We've been a lot of places together. We've flown on rockets. We've sailed the ocean blue. We've even been to Kalamazoo –but the one place we've never been before? Prison! On this episode: you'll hear the details of the most unusually botched execution ever, you'll learn what it must feel like to share an outfit with multiple people, and we're going to teach you how not to get shanked. Is your other favourite podcast going to teach you that much? If you believe that buildings are imprinted with the psychic residue from all the murdered and tortured souls, then prisons must be the most haunted places in the world, and the Ohio Penitentiary must have been one of the most haunted prisons in America.

On this episode: we will revisit an apocalyptic series of historical events that befell Sicily, Italy all the way back in 1693 – and it's all natural. What it may lack in rich, historical detail it will more than make up for with the satisfaction of actual participation.To make the experience feel more four dimensional, here is a short list of items you will need to participate fully:A wheelbarrowA clothes dryerSeveral pair of shoesBuckets of dirt, sand or soil – probably a hundred pounds of eachA strong fan10 lbs of baking soda8-10 litres of white vinegarA water bed bladderprobably a hosedefinitely a mopAn axe or machete but for the sake of convenience, a large kitchen knife would probably doOne 4x4 or off-road appropriate vehicleAnd one set of glovesI want to thank everyone who submitted their harrowing shrieks and screams for this special event, and I hope you have fun seeing how you all died.

Magical isn't a term we throw around loosely on this show, and I don't think I've ever heard it used in a sentence about a campground, yet here we are. Gather around the campfire, fill up on tapas and sangria, listen to music under the stars and fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing in the background – and get one of the most devastating accidents in Spanish history. On this episode: you'll learn the best way to transport flaming materials, you'll see what happens when a company cuts corners in lieu of safety, and we'll see how google makes things even worse.Whether I'm telling you about a story from 1641 or 2087, the common denominator across all space and time is a company looking to save a few bucks ahead of safety. And Spain has a unique legal protection called the “Right to be Forgotten” to help protect people in terrible circumstances - but it couldn't help anyone in this episode.

There's an old saying; Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs…but it's your choice to either enjoy the ride or die screaming yourself senseless.On today's episode: we'll settle a long-standing misconception about who parties harder: American teens vs British teens edition. We'll see what happens when you put degenerates in charge of public safety, and we'll see how a janky them park ride can lead to a janky spine. It's always amazing to me when we discuss a “forgotten disaster” that turns out to be the biggest of its kind in history, and this tale is no different. Whether trapped on a ride while the kid in the control booth sleeps one off, or another fair goer punts your head into the children's area, rides are inherently dangerous, and that's what we love about them – just not so much the details Find us on any of your favorite channels.Apple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuwIHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5jPodchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vwGoogle : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxattSpreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22suPodchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6wRadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kecPocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdrBreaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfaytDeezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for more Facebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcastInstagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcastTwitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcastIf you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or Funeral Kazoo HQ : www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsdayThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4866335/advertisement
This episode stinks. And no spoiler here, but if it looks like a duck and smells like a duck and it's highly flammable like a duck… Yes, it will seem obvious, but just wait and see.On this episode: we'll investigate some smells that rank up there with putrefying corpse, we'll talk about some limbs that act more like meat-filled wind socks, and we'll visit Mexico's underworld and face something more dangerous than gators, morlocks or chuds…In all of our tales, something extreme or terrible happens and we cope with the consequences as they come. What about an event where something impossibly bad happened repeatedly, with no warning, and no way to escape or guess where it was going to happen next. This is yet another in a long line of episodes where people placed in positions of authority make decisions that end up turning an entire voting block into ghosts.Celebrity guests include the Aztecs, the Atlanteans, my neighbour Mike, and the Virgin Mary.Find us on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdwSpotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuwIHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5jPodchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vwGoogle : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxattSpreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22suPodchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6wRadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kecPocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdrBreaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfaytDeezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcastInstagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcastTwitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcastIf you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsdayFuneral Kazoo HQ : www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsdayThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4866335/advertisement

The Most Disastrous Human of All Time | Doomsday Mailbag 7Together we've seen an awful lot of $@!# across time and space and it's only natural that you would have questions – so here is your chance hear them answered. Maybe learn something a little gross, maybe a little interesting.This is my chance to publicly answer some of the friendly, odd and occasionally gross questions that feed in through our various social media channels.On this episode: I'm taking a very good listener question and making an entire minisode out of it. We will answer the question, who is the Most Disastrous Human to Ever Live. There are a lot of ways to interpret this, but I'm pretty happy with our conclusions here. We'll find out how this one unique individual's creations made people stupider – literally stupider, all around the world, and nearly sterilized all life off the planet. This person has been called “the most dangerous single organism to ever exist since the earth's crust cooled billions of years ago. Take a listen, and you'll agree.Celebrity guests include multi-murderer/historical turd Hitler, multi-platinum singer Mariah Carey, multi-atomic explosion survivor Tsutomu Yamaguchi, and that guy who rubbed lemon juice all over his face because he thought it made him invisible to security cameras.If you're curious to hear my take on things rattling around upstairs, feel free to holler.
