Do do do do do do do do.

Dumb.

Hi, I'm Mike Rowe and I got nothing against celebrities.

In fact, I just interviewed Rob Lowe and Jason Alexander and they were terrific, but usually I interview people you've never heard of.

The plumber who makes 250 grand a year, the first responders who risk their lives to save complete and total strangers,

and the mad scientists who are about to change the world

with a better mousetrap. Those are the kinds of people I usually interview on the way I heard

and you're officially invited to give it a listen wherever you listen to podcast.

Hello everybody. This is Jennifer Matteris and before I get started with the episode today,

I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. If you've

been wanting to hear a particular disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the

podcast PayPal account at disaster area at mail.com. Just add the disaster you'd like to hear about to the

notes of your donation, and I'll add it to the list. Normally when it comes to requests, I do

them when and if I can, but this will mean I will definitely cover the topic of your request

as soon as I can do all the research for it and write it up, which this series will definitely

prove. The subject from this particular series was requested by Kelly, and I'd like to thank

her for the request and for the donation and for the infinite patience. Now, if you'd like to thank her for the request and for the donation

and for the infinite patience. Now, if you'd like to help support the podcast in any other way,

you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at Disasterarea at Mail.com, or on a per-episode

basis through Patreon at www.com slash disaster area podcast. A per episode donation of

even as little as a dollar an episode can help me do things like pay the rent and keep the lights on

and keep myself in candy cigarettes and pumpkin seeds and all of the other things that I like to snack
