This week, Cheryl shares the heartbreaking and powerful story of Colleen Stan, also known as The Girl in the Box. In 1977, Colleen was kidnapped and held captive for seven years, most of that time spent inside a crude, coffin-sized wooden box, subjected to psychological torment and abuse. Her survival was not just physical — it was mental, emotional, and deeply courageous.

After that, Rob lifts us (briefly) out of the darkness with a few gravity-defying tales from the Darwin Awards hall of fame — where certain individuals learned the hard way that physics doesn’t care about confidence. From rope swings gone rogue to DIY bungee jumps, gravity always wins.

🪵 Trapped beneath a bed.

🪂 Launched into disaster.
