    197: Burned Biscuits and Attempted Murder
    Feb 25 2026
    In this episode of The Shallow End, Jethro and Lindsay dive headfirst into two true crime stories that feel less like reality and more like a stress dream fueled by bad decisions and poor time management. First up: a record-setting criminal spree that unfolded during a single nine-hour Greyhound bus layover in Nashville. One man somehow managed to cram 11 felonies into less time than most people spend binge-watching a season of television—including arson, armed robbery, carjacking, Walmart shopping on stolen credit cards, a hotel robbery carried out in a disguise, and a final attempt to evade police by hiding inside industrial equipment. It’s a bizarre, fast-moving case that raises an important question: how much trouble can one person get into before missing their bus? Then, the show turns to a workplace dispute that escalated far beyond anything HR could possibly handle. At a Popeyes restaurant in North Carolina, an argument between managers over burned biscuits ended in gunfire. What began as a kitchen disagreement spilled outside, resulting in a shooting, attempted murder charges, and a reminder that sometimes the smallest conflicts carry the most catastrophic consequences. Along the way, Jethro and Lindsay riff on free will, crime efficiency, poor impulse control, and why absolutely no one should be committing felonies by the hour. As always, the stories are real, the reactions are unfiltered, and the humor is just dark enough to make you question whether you should be laughing—right before you do. If you enjoy true crime stories where everything spirals wildly out of control, criminal logic collapses under its own weight, and bad decisions stack up at alarming speed, this episode of The Shallow End delivers.

  • 196: A Lemon Shark And A Pickleball Paddle

    196: A Lemon Shark And A Pickleball Paddle
    Feb 18 2026
    In this episode of The Shallow End, Florida once again proves it’s not just a place—it’s a mindset. First: a birthday fishing trip off the coast of Florida takes a sharp turn when a six-foot lemon shark becomes an unwilling Instagram prop. What starts as a triumphant catch turns into a 911 call, a tourniquet, and a helicopter ride—because nothing says “memories” like underestimating a living torpedo with teeth. Then: a peaceful Sunday morning pickleball match inside a gated country club spirals into what police reports describe as a full-blown melee. A rules dispute over “the kitchen,” a paddle repurposed as a weapon, multiple injuries, felony charges, and the sobering realization that pickleball rage is, somehow, very real. Along the way, the guys unpack performative confidence, the curse of documentation, the strange logic of bad ideas that begin with “watch this,” and why the universe seems to take personal offense the moment a smartphone enters the equation. There’s also a listener email that derails the show into an unexpectedly deep debate about logic, grammar, and whether the phrase “pour yourself a strong one and buckle up” accidentally implies a felony. It’s a classic Shallow End episode: wild true stories, dry humor, sharp observations, and a gentle reminder that nature, sports, and sharks do not care if it’s your birthday. Make good choices. Your life—and possibly your pickleball reputation—may depend on it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    195: Man Tries to Burn Escalade, Sets His Pants on Fire Instead
    Feb 11 2026
    In this episode of The Shallow End, the universe appears to clock in early and enforce consequences with zero paperwork. Schnebly and Toth break down a surreal Milwaukee incident in which a man attempting to set a Cadillac Escalade on fire instead ignites his own pants—an act of instant karma caught entirely on surveillance video. What begins as felony-grade arson collapses into slapstick physics as flaming trousers, panicked decision-making, and a perfectly timed police cruiser converge in what may be the most efficient arrest on record. From there, the episode widens into a greatest-hits reel of bad ideas and questionable judgment. A listener email recounts a sober college sledding adventure that ends with injuries, hospital visits, and the realization that alcohol isn’t always required to make terrible choices. The hosts share their own youthful snow-related miscalculations, proving once again that age and common sense rarely arrive together. The episode also dives into a Texas burglary attempt that goes sideways when a man breaks into a car dealership, injures himself on the glass, calls 911 for help, and—while waiting for first responders—helps himself to candy from a sales desk. Because of course he does. Equal parts dumb criminal behavior, misfired confidence, and real-world absurdity, this episode is a reminder that when plans collapse, they often do so loudly, publicly, and on camera. Make good choices. Don’t play with fire. And for the love of God, don’t try to outrun your own pants. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
