The Day's Dumpster Fire
A small little podcast where your hosts, Kara and Ed, look at historical and not so historical cases where we don't celebrate humanity's success but its most fantastic failures. There are always lessons to be learned in failure and humanity has run amuck with fool proof plans that immediately go sideways and fall apart shortly after executing those plans. Join us as we scour the "human-verse" in search for the most poignant, and often hilarious, failures and try to pull out what can be learned from these failures.

Episode 15. Bottom of the Genetic Barrel: King Tutankhamun Fire
Hey Everyone!
In today's episode Kara is going to paint a picture of King Tutankhamen. This guy was named Pharaoh when he was only 12 years old and was immediately charged with the responsibility of fixing his entire country's religious SNAFU's left over from his dad. He also had to rebuild economies, temples, boats, and the military... A pretty tall order to ask any pre-teen.
What's worse, he had to do all of that while his inbred genetic make up made him susceptible to every kind of malady, syndrome, and dysfunction known to man. Literally his family tree looked like the Olympic five hoop logo...
So join Kara and Ed as they dive into the kiddy pool sized genetic wreck that was King Tutankhamen and see just why this guy is so famous.
Lastly we want to do a huge shout out to our top listener in the UK! We don't know who you are, but everyone on The Day's Dumpster Fire team appreciates you from across the pond, or the drink, or... whatever it's called. We in the Colonies think you're awesome!
Kara and Ed are always interested in "Trashcan Fires" stories of how the listeners have tried to plan out something their lives down to the last detail and shortly after you execute the plan, EVERY thing flies off the rails.
