Summary

Episode #154 is a barn-burner! Jethro is up first with the tale of a man who decided to climb Mt. Fuji without proper gear at the wrong time of the year. And somewhere in all that ice and oxygen deprivation, he barely survived and lost his phone. But it’s what he did just a few days later that qualifies him as a Shallow End-swimmer! Then Linds shares the story of a drug dealer who marketed himself to strangers and police alike in very unusual ways. It’ll make you think twice about chatting with your next ride-share driver!

0:59.7	podcast.
1:00.5	We are professionals and don't let that slip from your mind for one moment.
1:06.6	Pro tip.
1:07.1	So that's the most compelling news I have to share.
1:09.5	You actually have a genuinely
1:11.3	interesting story. I don't know how interesting it is, but it's genuine. Well, it was interesting
1:17.9	enough that you texted me yesterday morning and said, hey, could we not do a show this week?
1:23.1	Because we spent the night in the emergency room. Yeah, but here we are.
1:28.2	We're doing one anyway.
1:29.5	It's just we're actually recording this hours before it's due.
1:35.0	Yeah, what was it Sunday night?
