Happy Holidays! Enjoy this re-release of one of our favorite episodes from May 2020:

Mr. Podcast himself Paul F. Tompkins joins the episode today to talk about urban legends: the hook, the hitchhiker, the hand licking dog, and Mikey dying from pop rocks and soda. Amanda Lund pops in to tell the tale of her cousin's snake sizing him up for lunch, and Craig Anstett talks about Chicago urban legends and recalls the time he saw a disappearing house.

A new documentary just came out about this insane scam, so here's a rerelease of our episode from January:

From 1992 to 2004, managers at fast-food restaurants across the U.S. were scammed into performing strip searches on their employees by a phone caller claiming to be a police officer. This incident occurred over 70 times, sometimes with employees performing sexual acts. One incident at McDonald’s lasted three hours and escalated further than you could ever imagine.

There are hundreds of anonymous cut linoleum mosaic tiles in cities across the globe, often in very well-trodden crosswalks, certainly within reach of the most high-traffic pedestrian areas.

Melissa is still on maternity leave so here's a re-release of one of our favorite episodes:

Red Lobster once lost over three million dollars during an “Endless Crab” promotion because they underestimated how much people could eat. The demand for crab was so high, Red Lobster had to pay exorbitant prices in order to keep supplying it to customers. How did Red Lobster get into this mess?

ALSO: How long do restaurants leave food out in buffets? Spoiler: it’s much longer than you think.
