This episode is all about "big breaks" — those moments when success felt like it was right there. Our podcast producer Carly Ciarrocchi shares her story about trying to break out of the clowning business by auditioning for the evening news, comedian Rory Scholl tries to break into reality TV, and Daniel Aubry gets a shot at working with a filmmaking legend.

Comedian Gastor Almonte gets robbed while working in a furniture store — by someone wielding the most unexpected weapon imaginable. And our very first Big Story Showdown winner, Natalie Allen, shares a story about finding some kinship with Cinderella's "wicked stepsisters."
