On this episode: you’re going to hear about people performing acrobatics through a cacophony of sharpness. And debatably, it only gets worse from there. And it all takes place in the dark. We have had plenty of episodes in the “bad day at work” category, but this one, woof.
We should count this in our suite of Bad Commute episodes – stories so awful that they can’t help you feel better about your regular commute, almost guaranteed. I start this episode questioning your experience on your local transit, especially if you have a local subway or metro. When most people think of the NYC subway system, they think about muggings and flashings and maybe the occasional stabbing. They don’t think about getting their transit pass permanently confiscated by God.
In a lot of disasters, as time goes by, people slowly tend to forget, and they become anecdotes lost to time. NYC didn’t want to risk it, so they buried and renamed everything around it just to be absolutely sure so no one would ever have to think about the Malbone Street Disaster of 1918 again. At least until this show came out.
On the plus side, to make you a safer commuter, we’ve teamed up with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to make sure you’re prepared for anything from light groping, to some MMA-style grappling, to grand larceny for the next time you find yourself being the target of a violent subway hobo.

THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone.
I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you. If you'd like to support the show at Buy Me A Coffee, or join the club over at Patreon for AD-FREE EPISODES, LONGER EPISODES, EXTRA CONTENT, all that good stuff (I’m truly sorry about those ads, they're not in my control)
