What Could Go Wrong?

In space no one can hear you scream. They can watch you, though. They can see your mouth open, jaws wide, forcing air from your lungs and past your vocal cords, only to reverberate inside your helmet. Scratch that: One person can hear you scream in space. You. In this episode we talk about space travel, space stations, personal space, and storage space.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. That advice doesn't work if the fire is INSIDE YOUR MOUTH. Please be careful with spices. We talk about cinnamon, rosemary, cayenne, saffron, and the Spice Girls.

You find yourself in a tavern, reading the description of a podcast you are about to download or stream. The weather outside is typical of the season, and just out of your view, dire events are coming to pass. You know that you have the power to change events. With the right group of companions you could turn the tide and save this town, county, empire, nay, even the whole world. Now is the time. Your cursor hovers over the icon that says "Play". What would you like to do next?

But wait, there's more! Of course there's more, you haven't even started listening to this episode yet! When you do, prepare to be THRILLED by our INCISIVE COMMENTARY! LAUGH at our QUIPS and JOKES! You paid for the whole set of headphones, but you'll only use the MAGNETIC RESONANCE DEVICE THAT PRODUCES SOUND! Now with 25% more talking! What Could Go Wrong with Advertising is not recommended for people that have lower back pain, stress, headache, head lice, license to kill, thoughts about mortality, thoughts about morality, thoughts about immorality, thoughts about immortality, people who are or may become pregnant, or the risen dead.

You've made your bed, now DON'T LIE IN IT! Not without knowing the risks. All of them. There's a lot of risks. We're pretty blasé about the fact that enough people die in beds that people have special activities they can do "on their deathbed." Every bed is a deathbed if you sleep in it long enough.

The magic is inside of you. Luckily there isn't a black market for magic or you might wake up in a hotel bathtub covered in ice with a note to call the police. When you're trying to make the most of life on a weekend, vacation, holiday, or trip to Narnia, things can go wrong and we tell you about some of them.

This is serious business. Take a seat. Carefully. We're going to give you the lowdown on office chairs, recliners, dining tables, nightstands, and couches. Afterwards, you may want to consider an ascetic decor.

If you don't clear-cut the Earth after listening to this episode, don't say we didn't warn you.

There are almost as many days of the week as there are ways for things to go wrong. Friday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Monday are all discussed, because that is all of the days of the week that there are. It'd be nice if there were more, but you've already got plenty, so try and be grateful for what you have instead of trying to get things you don't really need.

Water, water, everywhere. Stay away from it. You don't know where it's been. It could have been anywhere. It will go somewhere else and then come back, worse than before. And we need it, that's the worst part. We can't escape the water cycle. Drink deep, friends, because water's here to stay.

Celebrating good times isn't always a good time. We talk about birthdays, retirement parties, end-of-life festivities, and holiday parties! There's also a bit about copyright law, the undead, and brain scans.

You want to know what could go wrong and we tell you. There's a lot of nuts in this episode, just so's you're forewarned.

We start this episode off on the right foot. And then the left foot. And then the right foot again. We talk about business shoes, high heeled shoes, steel-toed shoes, sandals, and Krissy & Jeremiah both talk about their favorite shoes. It's a kick in the pants.

Here be dragons. And griffins, and shriffins, and centaurs, and unicorns, and Banksy. Oh my.

Plants have many beneficial uses but that doesn't mean you won't find a way to screw that up. We talk about home gardening, mushroom farming, foraging, and potting vs planting your plants. Because this is What Could Go Wrong, we also talk about zombie fungus, tomato hornworms, and stinky butt caterpillars. (It turns out that the stinky butt part of the caterpillar is really on the front part of the caterpillar, and it has its very own wikipedia article!)

Absolute power corrupts absolutely everyone except Supreme Ruler Krissy. Jeff and Jeremiah answer her every beck and call in this episode, and she is a kind, benevolent ruler, as you will see. YOU WILL SEEE SOOOOOON

This week we're caught between a rock and a hard place. Rocks are everywhere. Small rocks, pet rocks, boulders... they're unavoidable. Let's talk about how that will go horribly for you. Also, after Jeremiah's cold wore off, he realized he was really thinking about glacial erratics.

Makers fill the world with beautiful things. That doesn't always turn out great, though, does it? Sometimes you have to frog some rows. Sometimes you have to erase a line. That's life. Sometimes, though, things go past Mistakeville, and end up in Tragedy Town. We discuss drawing, knitting, sewing, and beading. These are things that people do, maybe even SOMEONE YOU KNOW. Be careful out there.

Colors aren't real. And in a way, this episode isn't real. It's just a set of ones and zeros that your ears interpret as sounds that your brain turns into a podcast. Krissy and Jeremiah were a little out of it when we recorded this episode. Jeff might also lie to Jeremiah, which isn't very nice. Don't lie, listeners

You sure ask a lot of questions. They're weird questions, too. Everything that gets talked about here is your fault.
