Summary

Episode #174 of The Shallow End is anything but shallow! Jethro has the story of a Florida Man who robbed a gas station – but proved to be the single kindest man never to do so. So how did the cops have time to show up and catch him in the act? Well, it’s all about being polite, isn’t it! Then Lindsay goes down under (both geographically and in gastro-intestinal fashion) with the story of a woman who served a very "special lunch" to four guests. What happened? Hint: You may want to skip the mushrooms next time you’re invited to dinner – and go straight to the dessert! Enjoy this week’s brand new episode! Learn more about your ad choices.

1:03.8	But to the listeners of the shallow end, if you have the opportunity to see Jethro and Kat do one of their live shows for Box of Oddities, it is a freaking treat.
1:18.3	And it's the same storytelling, but it's face to face.
1:24.1	It's funny as sin.

1:38.3	Well, that's, very, very kind of you.
1:42.1	I think that, you know, the alcohol helped.
