Famous for the construction guys on a beam eating lunch.

Nobody thinks much about it, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why lunch atop a skyscraper is secretly incredibly fascinating. day.

Hey there folks. Hey there, Cipelopods.

Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone because I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden, Katie. Yes. What is your relationship to or opinion of the picture called lunch atop a skyscraper.

I'm familiar with it.

I've always felt like if it was me, eaten lunch, I would be really afraid not just about

falling to my death because they're all sitting on like a beam that appears to be a long

way down, but also just dropping things and having them land on

random people's heads. I assume they're in New York. This is what it kind of looks like to me.

Yeah, Manhattan. Manhattan, yeah. And so it's like, if I drop a grape, does that kill someone? I don't

know. Thank you. I at some point when I was a little kid, we were on one of

our Chicago land area trips to the Sears Tower and somebody made a claim about if you dropped a

penny off the top, it would be lethal to anyone below. Yeah. And I just spent like the rest of my

life worried about that. Yeah. Not all the time, but what I think about tall buildings comes up.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think dropping a grape would probably kill someone.

Probably the grape would be pulverized in the ordeal.

But, yeah, like you.

Or a helpful falcon snatches it.
