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

Send us a textWhat would you do if you found yourself trapped in a remote canyon with your survival hanging by a thread? Aron Ralston, whose incredible story of resilience was captured in both his book "127 Hours" and the film adaptation starring James Franco, joins us on The Poultry Leadership Podcast to share his remarkable journey. Facing a life-or-death decision after being pinned by a boulder, Aron reveals the mental strength and innovative thinking that saw him through 127 grueling hours to an astonishing rescue. His story is a testament to the power of human determination, transforming a harrowing ordeal into a transformative life lesson.As Aron takes us through his post-rescue journey, we delve into the themes of overcoming adversity and choosing growth in the face of life's toughest challenges. He discusses the trials and triumphs of adapting to life with a prosthetic arm and the importance of fostering relationships and love, even amidst heartbreak and loss. Aron's perspective on viewing setbacks as opportunities resonates throughout, demonstrating how even the most traumatic experiences can be reframed into blessings that encourage personal growth and a renewed appreciation for life's extraordinary moments.But it's not just Aron's story on the table. We also celebrate the unsung heroes of our everyday sustenance: farmers. Drawing from personal experiences of farm life in Ohio, we express deep gratitude for the relentless hard work and sacrifices made by farmers to provide the nourishment we often take for granted. This heartfelt homage serves as a reminder of the resilience present not only in Aron's survival story but in the labor of those who sustain us, capturing the essence of the human spirit and the preciousness of each moment and opportunity.Pick yourself up a copy of Aron's Book - Between a Rock and a Hard Place - https://a.co/d/4OVssUeHosted by Brandon Mulnix - Director of Commercial Accounts - Prism ControlsThe Poultry Leadership Podcast is only possible because of its sponsor, Prism ControlsFind out more about them at www.prismcontrols.com

In 2003, Aron Ralston was rock climbing in Utah. While scaling down a rock face, a boulder became dislodged and pinned his hand against the rock wall. For four days he sat there thinking he was going to die. On the fifth day he cut his own hand off to free his body and walked until he found help, showing that sacrifice was required to survive.In Matthew 5:27-30, Jesus gives us a similar picture when he warns us that the sin of adultery is more than an act, it begins in the mind as lust. And in order to battle sin, sacrifice will be required. Jesus is not calling us to literally maim ourselves, but we will need to be deliberate on the things we cut out so that we can pursue holiness and intimacy with God.

Aron Ralston is an American mountaineer, engineer, and outdoors enthusiast known for his remarkable survival story. His most famous ordeal took place in 2003 when he became trapped in a remote Utah canyon and had to resort to extreme measures to save his own life.Here's a summary of Aron Ralston's survival story:Trapped in Blue John Canyon: In April 2003, Aron Ralston embarked on a solo hiking trip in Blue John Canyon, located in the remote Canyonlands National Park in Utah. While descending a narrow slot canyon, a boulder became dislodged and pinned his right arm against the canyon wall, trapping him in a life-threatening situation.Desperate Measures: Ralston spent several days trapped in the canyon, unable to free himself or attract help. He had limited supplies, including water and food, and his situation grew increasingly dire. With no hope of rescue in sight, he made the agonizing decision to amputate his own arm to escape certain death.Self-Amputation: Using a multi-tool and other improvised tools, Ralston painfully amputated his right arm just below the elbow. The act of self-amputation was a harrowing ordeal and a last resort to free himself from the boulder.Rescued: After amputating his arm, Ralston rappelled down a 65-foot cliff and hiked several miles until he encountered a family on a hiking trip. They provided him with the assistance he needed and alerted authorities, ultimately leading to his rescue.Inspirational Survival: Aron Ralston's remarkable survival story became widely known and was later adapted into a bestselling book titled "Between a Rock and a Hard Place."

Kristin J. Jacobson In her new book, The American Adrenaline Narrative (University of Georgia Press), Kristin Jacobson considers the nature of perilous outdoor adventure tales, their gendered biases, and how they simultaneously promote and hinder ecological sustainability. To explore these themes, Jacobson defines and compares adrenaline narratives by a range of American authors published after the first Earth Day in 1970, a time frame selected as a watershed moment for the contemporary American environmental movement. The forty-plus years since that day also mark the rise in the popularity and marketing of many things as "extreme," including sports, jobs, travel, beverages, gum, makeovers, laundry detergent, and even the environmental movement itself. Jacobson maps the American eco-imagination via adrenaline narratives, surveying a range of popular and lesser-known primary texts by American authors, including best-sellers such as Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and Aron Ralston's Between a Rock and a Hard Place. She also covers lesser-known novels as well as stories found in all types of media ranging from magazines, feature-length and short films, television shows, amateur videos, social media posts, advertising, and blogs. Jacobson argues for recognizing adrenaline narratives as a distinctive genre because, unlike traditional nature, travel, and sports writing, adrenaline narratives sustain heightened risk or the element of the "extreme" within a natural setting. Additionally, these narratives provide important insight into the American environmental imagination's connection to masculinity and adventure––knowledge that helps us grasp the current climate crisis and see how narrative understanding provides a needed intervention. Kristin Jacobson is a professor of American literature, American Studies, and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Stockton University in New Jersey.

The act of self-amputation was a harrowing ordeal and a last resort to free himself from the boulder.Rescued: After amputating his arm, Ralston rappelled down a 65-foot cliff and hiked several miles until he encountered a family on a hiking trip. They provided him with the assistance he needed and alerted authorities, ultimately leading to his rescue.Inspirational Survival: Aron Ralston's remarkable survival story became widely known and was later adapted into a bestselling book titled "Between a Rock and a Hard Place." The story also inspired the 2010 film "127 Hours," directed by Danny Boyle and starring James Franco as Ralston.(commercial at 7:53)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we have a very information-dense topic! Lots of notes, lots of twists and turns, tragedy and comedy, philosophy and practicality, and a combination of essentially every topic that this show tends to cover. It's wilderness adventure-time! I'm joined once again by my cohorts Seedperson1 and Chris Fiato, and I share with them ten stories of men who experience what I can only describe as "wanderlust syndrome", which is throwing away all of their worldly possessions to hit the open expanse -- whether it be the Alaskan wilderness, the desert, the mountains, the beach, or elsewhere. Sometimes this syndrome turns out for the best, in the case of people like John Muir, and sometimes in the case of Chris McCandless of 'Into the Wild' fame or Timothy Treadwell of Werner Herzog's tragic documentary 'The Grizzly Man', it can end in the most horrifying ways imaginable. DIVE MANUAL AUDIOBOOK OUT NOW⁠ ⁠MY LINKTREE WITH ALL MY ACTION⁠ ⁠SEEDPERSON ON INSTA⁠ ⁠CHRIS ON INSTA⁠ ⁠BHA DISCORD CHAT⁠ (invite link expires in 7 days but it's easy to find on discord, or you can send it to you on social media) Here's the list of the names we discuss in the episode: Chris "Alexander Supertramp" McCandless - a transcendentalist adventurer who foolishly died in the Alaskan wilderness, famous from John Krakauer's book 'Into the Wild.' Everett Ruess - a young American adventurer from the early 20th century that embodied genuine poetic wanderlust, and who mysteriously disappeared in the Utah deserts. Carl McCunn - a wilderness photographer who was lost in the Alaskan wilderness during a series of very unfortunate events. John Waterman - a celebrated and very eccentric alpinist and mountaineer who mysteriously disappeared in the Denali Mountain Range. Gene Rosellini - another eccentric and philosphical man, like a mild-mannered Ted Kaczynksi, who attempted to live like a stone-age man in the wilderness of Alaska for over a decade before committing suicide. Timothy Treadwell - a very curious man who lived in the Alaskan wilderness amongst bears for many seasons before staying too late into the fall, only to be eaten alive on camera. He eventually became the focus of Werner Herzog's documentary 'The Grizzly Man'. August Engelhardt - a strange German man who lived and died on the beach eating only coconuts, claiming that they were the fruit of the gods, only to slowly starve to death in the public eye. Nathan Campbell - a man who went out searching for the alleged 'Dark Pyramid of Alaska' in 2020 and was never seen again. John Muir - an ecologist, philosopher, adventurer, and the man on this list that embodies the truest definition of the genuine poetic wanderlust, because he is the only man on this list that doesn't have a tragic ending to his story. We also bring up to lesser degrees: Aron Ralston of the '127 Hours' fame, Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber himself, and Carl Panzram the serial-killing train-riding hobo from the early 20th century.

Un jeune alpiniste décide de partir faire une randonnée dans les canyons de l'Utah. Il a 27 ans et personne n'est au courant de son excursion. Son objectif : explorer une faille perpendiculaire au Blue John Canyon, qui mène à un rappel d'escalade de 20 mètres. Un défi qu'il est déterminé à relever. Il avance prudemment dans un étroit tunnel du canyon. Il veut descendre plus profondément. Pour se soutenir, il s'appuie sur un rocher encastré entre les parois. Ce rocher, en apparence stable, cède sous son poids, le précipitant dans le canyon. Avec lui chute cet énorme roc de plusieurs centaines de kilos, qui écrase sa main droite contre la paroi. Il est seul, son bras piégé sous un mastodonte de 360 kg, au milieu du désert américain. Un cri de désespoir s'échappe de ses lèvres. Mais l'écho des parois étouffe ses appels à l'aide.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Aron Ralston is a mountaineer, mechanical engineer, and best-selling author known for surviving a canyoneering accident by cutting off part of his own right arm. On April 26, 2003, during a solo descent of Bluejohn Canyon in southeastern Utah, he dislodged a boulder, pinning his right wrist to the side of the canyon wall. After five days, he had to break his forearm, amputate it with a dull pocket knife to break free, make his way through the rest of the canyon, rappel down a 65-foot drop, and hike 7 miles to safety. The incident is documented in Aron's autobiography Between a Rock and a Hard Place and is the subject of the 2010 film 127 Hours in which he is portrayed by James Franco. After the accident, Aron continued mountaineering and became the first person to ascend all of Colorado's fourteeners solo in winter. "Turn boulders into blessings." During this conversation, Aron takes us through the 127 hours from when his right arm was pinned under a boulder until he was resting safely in a hospital bed. Along the way, he shares key learnings that all of us can take from his experience. In April 2003, Aron was canyoneering alone through Bluejohn Canyon, in Utah, just south of the Horseshoe Canyon unit of Canyonlands National Park. While he was descending the lower stretches of the slot canyon, a suspended boulder dislodged while he was climbing down from it. The boulder first smashed his left hand and then crushed his right hand against the canyon wall. Aron had not informed anyone of his hiking plans, nor did he have any way to call for help. Assuming that he would die without intervention, he spent five days slowly sipping his small amount of remaining water, approximately 350 ml (12 imp fl oz), and slowly eating his small amount of food, two burritos, while repeatedly trying to extricate his arm. His efforts were futile as he was unable to free his arm from the 800 lb (360 kg) chockstone. After three days of trying to lift and break the boulder, the dehydrated and delirious Ralston prepared to amputate his trapped arm at a point on the mid-forearm in order to escape. After having experimented with tourniquets and having made exploratory superficial cuts to his forearm, he realized, on the fourth day, that in order to free his arm he would have to cut through the bones in it, but the tools available were insufficient to do so. After running out of food and water on the fifth day, Aron decided to drink his own urine. He carved his name, date of birth, and presumed date of death into the sandstone canyon wall, and videotaped his last goodbyes to his family. He did not expect to survive the night, but as he attempted to stay warm he began hallucinating and had a vision of himself playing with a future child while missing part of his right arm. Aron credited this as giving him the belief that he would live. After waking at dawn the following day he discovered that his arm had begun to decompose due to the lack of circulation, and became desperate to tear it off.  Aron then had an epiphany that he could break his radius and ulna bones using torque against his trapped arm. He did so, then amputated his forearm with his multi-tool, using the dull 2-inch knife and pliers for the tougher tendons. The painful process took an hour, during which time he used tubing from a CamelBak as a tourniquet, taking care to leave major arteries until last. The manufacturer of the multi-tool was never named, but Aron said "It was not a Leatherman but what you'd get if you bought a $15 flashlight and got a free multi-use tool." After freeing himself, Ralston climbed out of the slot canyon in which he had been trapped, rappelled down a 65-foot sheer wall, then hiked out of the canyon. He was 8 miles from his car and had no phone. However, after 6 miles of hiking, he encountered a family on vacation from the Netherlands; Eric and Monique Meijer and their son Andy, who gave him food and water and hurried to alert the authorities. Aron had feared he would bleed to death; he had lost 40 pounds, including 25% of his blood volume. Rescuers searching for Ralston, alerted by his family that he was missing, had narrowed the search down to Canyonlands and he was picked up by a helicopter in a wide area of the canyon. He was rescued approximately four hours after amputating his arm. The STOP acronym: Stop (pause), Think (brainstorm), Observation, Plan Stop Think Observe Plan "Commitment is the first step." At one point when Aron's arm was stuck under the giant rock, he filmed his "goodbyes" to each family member. "Who would you say your goodbyes to and what would you say?" Aron realized that life is all about loving relationships. "You can't hold despair and gratitude at the same time." 127 Hours - There is no force so powerful as the will to live. Aron's version: "There's no force so powerful as the will to love." "Welcome adversity. It helps you grow." "Find gratitude for the worst thing that's ever happened to you." “Passion. That which I suffer, allow, endure, is done to me.”
