Today's podcast will feature three stories about how a single decision change the lives of people in these stories, as well as millions of other lives around the world.

The audio from all three of these stories has been pulled from our main YouTube channel and has been remastered for today's episode.

The links to the original YouTube videos are in the description. The first story you'll hear is called One Man's Trash and it's about a woman who finds something incredible in her

husband's office trash can that would change their lives forever. The second

story you'll hear is called accidental superstar and it's about a man who has a

completely normal career but then something totally random happens that changes everything.

And the third and final story you'll hear is called The Shiner.

And it's about a man who gets into a fight at a McDonald's restaurant the night before his big job interview.

But before we get into today's stories, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious delivered in story format,

and you've come to the right podcast, because that's all we do and we upload four times a week,

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. So, if that's of interest to you, please sneak into
