Summary

Join Schnebly and Toth in this gut-busting double-feature episode of The Shallow End! 🎙️Dive into the Shallow End with our first story, exploring the ludicrous escapades of a con artist who masqueraded as a pastor. We will examine the chaotic journey of this pseudo-priest and the comedic fallout of his not-so-sacred schemes. But hold onto your hymnals because the second half is not for the faint of heart. Switching gears, we spin the web of a man whose terror of spiders led to a disaster of epic proportions. Discover how one tiny arachnid triggered a series of events that turned into a nightmare, causing a catastrophic ripple effect that left the community in stitches (and the property in ruins). Filled with Schnebly's wit and Toth's biting commentary, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you laughing, cringing, and questioning humanity's sanity.
