In light of the tragic events this week, the boys shift gears and talk with good friend Dave Yates about the recent trench collapse tragedy. Dave retells a story of when—nearly 50 years ago—he had to dig out three plumbers from a ditch, one unfortunately passing away on the scene. Fifty years later, why is this still happening? We discuss.
