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.
The Day's Dumpster Fire
Episode 16. Valley of the Dumpster Fires
Heyo!
Kara and Ed are back and they are trying a slightly different format... they both will have a segment instead of one person hogging the entire episode. In this episode Kara dives into the craziness of the expedition to find King Tutt's tomb in the 1920s and 1930. The moral of the story: DON'T SHAVE YOUR FACE AFTER IT HAS BEEN BITTEN BY A MOSQUITO! Meanwhile Ed will look at a city whose sole purpose was to protect the Valley of the Kings from tomb robbers and house craftsmen to construct tombs for future pharaohs. However, five minutes after the city got to work, the people protecting and and constructing these elaborate tombs started to rob the crap out of them.
Lastly you'll get a glimpse at Kara and Ed's elaborate topic choosing protocols that they use to figure out what episode you're going to hear next.
