Summary

Episode #149 of "The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth” is what episode #148 could have been if it just applied itself for once. Lindsay introduces us to an airline pilot who was very good at his job ferrying passengers to other lands safely and comfortably – until he forgot to bring something with him that you and I carry whenever we travel internationally. (Sometimes, the skies aren’t so friendly.) Then, Jethro tells us about an auto thief who came fully prepared to carry out his professional responsibilities – until he realized that the planet itself was moving away from him at one foot per second while he was working with his tools. Was it the Apocalypse? End Times? A bad hangover? Tune in to discover how this thief found himself 20 feet in the air! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And there's a red splotch on the pillowcase about the size of a golf ball.

1:23.0

Oh, no.

1:23.3

And I think, am I just imagining this?
