A few weeks ago, Brent Ozar flew over to Israel for SQLSatursday, so we took the opportunity to get together and have a fun conversation about his and ours favorite mistakes.

Among other mistakes, we talk about:

* How did a company end up with a table named "C"

* Brent's first database disaster ever

* Why Guy spent two weeks in Microsoft Belfast

* Fire in the data center

* How does a manager need to respond during a crisis

* How should you react when you mess up
