On episode #164, Linds leads us into The Shallow End with the grim tale of a mortician who found a creative way to cremate bodies more “efficiently.” It’s simple science, actually. Why cremate just one body at a time when you can fit 10 or 12 bodies in the same oven? What could possibly go wrong? Then JG takes us to the shores of Texas’ Gulf Coast, where a young man named Chad saw something so swe...

Episode #163 of The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth has more references to Scotland than you can shake a bagpipe at!  JG shares the story if how Scottish Highlanders weren’t content to stay at home when England was so close. So what did the Highlanders receive in return for their desire to rape, pillage and plunder?  Some karma so big, that it might be one of the biggest Shallow End moments in...

Episode #162 of The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth is hotter than a doorknob in hell!  Jethro begins with the tale of a man with a shady past who got pulled over by the police in Orange County, CA. When you have a history of brushes with the law, and you get pulled over by the police, what’s the best way to handle it?  That’s easy!  Just tell them you’re someone else!  Say, your brother. Yeah!...

It may be the beginning of summer, but the boys are back at work!  In today’s technology-filled world of crime fighting, Jethro has a story of two criminals brought down mid-crime spree by one of mankind’s oldest problems – good old-fashioned dog poop!  Then Lindsay tells us about a Texas woman who brought an unusual “treat” to her daughter’s fifth-grade school party. Everything was going well – u...

Episode #159 is a barn-burner of bad ideas!  Jethro starts off with a Florida Man, a plan, and a few drinks too many.  Maybe not the best time to dream up the idea of “the perfect tattoo.” Oh well – at least it’s permanent! Then Lindsay tells us about a woman who was so upset at not being invited to a (third!)  cousin’s wedding, she exacted the strangest revenge you’ve ever heard. Oh well – at lea...

On episode #158 of TSE, Lindsay leads off with a man in Norway who awoke to the sound of his neighbor trying to wake him in the early morning hours. Why? Because there was a boat where the sky used to be! How does a 150-yard-long cargo ship run aground just outside a quiet living room window? You’ll love the answer!  Then Jethro shares the tale of one of the coolest-headed bank robbers you’ve ever...

During this Memorial Week, we take a moment to remember Episode 27! The title for the world's stupidest bank robber is a very competitive division. However, Lindsay may have found a leading contender. Then, Jethro tells us about a bugler who just can't get a break. Attention! If an emergency occurs while listening to this episode, an oxygen mask will drop down from the compartment above your head....

What word starts with "F” and ends with "uck?” “Firetruck," of course!  Episode #156 hits the ground running with Lindsay’s story about a guy in England who loved him some firetrucks. But scratching that itch to see a big red pumper (!) isn’t always so easy. Then Jethro tells us about a guy who had a novel technique to score not only some quick cash, but two free pizzas!  What went wrong? Well, as...

On episode #155 of The Shallow End, what would you buy if you had a one-million-dollar bill? At Walmart. Ignoring the fact that the US Treasury doesn’t even print bills that big. Well, JG has the story of a man who used his million-dollar bill to buy a vacuum cleaner. Things got complicated as he waited for the change. Then Linds shares the daring tale of a Kansas man who needed some quick cash to...

Episode #154 is a barn-burner!  Jethro is up first with the tale of a man who decided to climb Mt. Fuji without proper gear at the wrong time of the year. And somewhere in all that ice and oxygen deprivation, he barely survived and lost his phone. But it’s what he did just a few days later that qualifies him as a Shallow End-swimmer!  Then Linds shares the story of a drug dealer who marketed himse...

Join hosts Schnebly and Toth in this episode of Shallow End, where they take a deep dive into the turbulent waters of online idiocy and historical misfortune. We got an email suggesting we revisit the topic of ill-conceived stunts, and since we already covered it in a previous episode, why not do it again? It's like recycling, but with more facepalms. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and possibly quest...

In Episode #151, Jethro starts with a story of a woman looking for “The Perfect Selfie” at a swanky Los Angeles art exhibit featuring 12 very large and expensive pieces of…well…art. What could go wrong, we ask? Just a slight adjustment to line up the perfect selfie. Lean back just a few inches, and…well…something went very, very wrong.  Then, Lindsay tells us a story proving that politicians with...

To celebrate the 150th episode of this thing we like to call a podcast, “The Shallow End” is proud to feature an entire episode of stories sent in by our family of listeners – The Shallow End Dwellers. Hilarity ensues when a man finds that his chainsaw can cut more than firewood, how a mound of driveway snow can lead to marriage, and why it’s best to make sure your earbuds are plugged into your ph...

Episode #149 of "The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth” is what episode #148 could have been if it just applied itself for once. Lindsay introduces us to an airline pilot who was very good at his job ferrying passengers to other lands safely and comfortably – until he forgot to bring something with him that you and I carry whenever we travel internationally. (Sometimes, the skies aren’t so friend...

Why are we surprised that episode #148 of TSE wasn’t stolen before it aired? Because it's chock full of burglars, is why! JG regales us with the story of three men hell-bent on burglarizing a hamburger shop. The prospect of the cash inside drew them. What they couldn't have known was how a two-pound tub of Macaroni Salad may have been too tasty to leave behind – but would also be their undoing. Li...

On episode #147, Lindsay starts the show with a cautionary tale on why it’s never good to alter Mother Nature’s distribution of native species. Hawaii in the late 1800s dealt with a problem of rats in the sugarcane fields by…well…importing an animal from the other side of the world. It did not end well! And speaking of animals (!), J.G. tells us about two Welshmen who naturally found themselves in...

It’s not quite as good as our 150th episode will be, but episode #146 is close!  Jethro has a story about a man who hits on the idea of a perfect robbery. Using a real gun is not only illegal, but what if that thing went off and someone got hurt? This gentleman in Glasgow came up with a substitute that he thought was genius!  (It involves a rather phallic piece of produce. Oh, and a man’s dress so...

On episode #145, Jethro kicks things off with tales of tails - and other animal parts. Seems like the basic human need to smuggle living things from country to country is not only illegal and can result in prison time, but a rodent in your pants can cause other issues. Be glad you’re not a TSA agent as you listen to these stories. Then Lindsay regales us with the story of an inventive woman who ne...

Episode #144 of The Shallow End is chock full of vitamins and other nutrients!  (Okay. It’s not. But it is entertaining as hell.) Lindsay’s story comes to us from Kissimmee, FL, where a young woman and her boyfriend decided to celebrate the man’s birthday at a local motel by ordering a pizza delivered to their room. Everything was going swimmingly – until the police were called. Find out why! (Not...

Defying all laws of common decency and good taste, Jethro and Lindsay have finished another episode of The Shallow End! J.G. kicks things off with a story of a man no longer content with the standard methods of removing snow from his backyard. Anyone can shovel it – but where’s the inventive spirit of adventure in that?! There are times when a man needs to harness creativity – and a big tank of fl...

In Episode #142 of The Shallow End, Jethro’s out of the gate with a story of a young woman who took an elderly relative to help him withdraw thousands of dollars from his bank. Just one hitch there – the man didn’t appear “to be well.” It kind of went downhill from there. Then Lindsay shares a story about a firefighter who really liked flames. I mean…I REALLY liked Flames.  So much so that an arso...
