Hello! And welcome to this very brief end-of-year update of Doomsday: History’s Most Dangerous podcast! Together we rediscover some of the most traumatic, bizarre and awe-inspiring but largely unheard-of or forgotten disasters from throughout human history and around the world.
Let me begin today’s exciting episode by explaining the next episode will be late but I wanted to use this opportunity to quickly get you salivating over a few things coming up, and explain a few things that’ll make you all “say whaaat?”
I want to do something reeeally big for December. I’ve been in discussion with a surprising number of you who’ve settled on a common and popular request: a Very Doomsday Christmas Chernobylsode! Hang the holly and take your iodide caplets – what’s more festive (and on-brand) than a little face-melting horror for the holidays?
Not just that – a very unique and singular listener of the show asked, nay, begged to hear a minisode covering and explaining the Waffle House Index. And the request came from highly unusual origins. You ever do a DNA test? Well, I did a DNA test, and for my Patreons, I’m going to be sharing the very complicated, bittersweet, lightly tragic and dramatic story of my discovery. And whatever you're guessing – you're already wrong.
When people find a flaw in the editing or sound production, or a week goes by without a show, I point out this show is created while the rest of you sleep, and I’m happy episodes release at all. And if it wasn’t for my Patreons, they would not – I can’t emphasize that enough. If not for the generosity of our Patreon supporters, I would move onto male stripping or pet theft or something really shady and there would not be a show.
If you were lucky enough to live near a Waffle House or already know exactly how your family tree works, why not celebrate by considering becoming a supporter at Patreon.com/FuneralKazoo. Early episodes with no ad breaks and additional ridiculously interesting material in each new episode are up for grabs.
If the spirit of the season moves, but only so much, you’re very welcome to visit buymeacoffee.com/doomsday and just buy a cup of coffee so to speak. You can reach out on twitter, instagram and facebook as DoomsdayPodcast or fire us an email to doomsdaypod@gmail.com
On the next episode: Sorry I had to blow you off for a week, but I’m confident that this new episode is going to blow you away. Maybe into a tree, or into a broken section of flying railroad track – who knows. Either way, we’re all going to drown! It’s the Galveston Hurricane Disaster of 1900!
But until then, we’ll talk soon. Safety googles off. And thanks for listening.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Before we begin, ask yourself, this would your second favorite podcast,
feed your need for catty family drama or try to
shush your overwhelming emotional pain. It's waffles and runkens and plugs,
Oh my the Land, and welcome to Doomsday, History's most
(00:33):
dangerous podcast. Together we rediscover some of the most traumatic, bizarre,
and on inspiring but largely unheard of or forgotten disasters
from throughout human history and around the world. And let
me begin today's exciting episode by explaining that the next
episode will be late. Okay, okay, let me explain. If
(00:54):
you know me, you know life is a challenge and
words like easy and uneventful you have no meaning. There
are one hundred and sixty hours in a week and
I already waste about thirty of them sleeping, and I
spend the rest of the time jumping from assignment to assignment.
So yeah, life gets in the way. But all apologies aside.
(01:14):
I wanted to use this opportunity to just quickly get
you salivating over a few things coming up and explain
a few things that are going to make you all
say what. I wanted to do something really big for December,
and I've been in discussion with a surprising number of
you who've settled on a very common and popular request,
a very doomsday Christmas Chernobyl Sode. That's right, hang the
(01:39):
hollie and take your iodide caplets. What could be more
festive and on brand than a little face melting horror
for the holidays? And not just that. One very unique
and singular listener of the show asked Nay begged to
hear a minisode covering and explaining the waffle House index.
(02:00):
That's one of those if you know, you know things
and if you don't, you're gonna like it. And the
order is coming right up. However, the waffle House is
a lot more than just flapjacks and disaster prediction and
parking lot fistfights. See, here's the thing about that request.
It came from highly unusual origins. You ever do a
DNA test, you know, spit in a vial and find
(02:22):
out your part neanderthal or maybe Grandpa kind of fudged
a bit about how he spent his time during the war. Well,
I did a DNA test, and not for the bulk
of society, but for my patreons. I am going to
be sharing the very complicated bittersweet, lightly tragic, and dramatic
story of my discovery, a DNA disaster story for the ages,
(02:45):
the kind of thing Ancestry makes commercials about but would
probably thumb their noses at saying, yeah, that's a lot,
and whatever it is you're guessing, you're already wrong. On
that note, I make no secret that I hate episodes
out late, like hate hate it. But my longtime business
partner and the man who helps keep me housed and fed,
(03:07):
is not doing well and I'm really going to need
him to pull through or I'm going to be living
in a van and not in a cool, hipster kind
of way. If you are a prayer, I kindly ask
you to throw out a little prayer for a long
time listener and super fan Steve. And now, if you'll
kindly indulge me, I would like to spend the next
sixty seconds kissing my supporters, well deserving asses. I don't
(03:31):
know what happens on other podcasts patroon pages, but I
consider myself lucky to meet and interact with you all
from around the world. You people have shared your heartfelt
feelings and you have made me feel supported in ways
that I can barely describe that, and of course, now
having settle that, if I could just double or triple
or quadruple the number of supporters, it would really help
(03:53):
me fulfill my dream of doing this full time. If
you visit Funeral Kazoo dot com, you're gonna see that
it hasn't been updated in forever, and there are concepts
for three other shows that I would love to produce,
and who knows what the future could hold with your support.
If not for the generosity of our Patreon supporters, I
would be forced to move on to mail stripping or
(04:14):
pet theft or something really shady, and there would not
be a show. I can't emphasize that enough. And if
you think your local area San Antonio, Tesla Dealer's Network
presents Doomsday, History's most Dangerous podcast has a nice ring
to it, I am all ears. So if you were
lucky enough to live near a waffle house or already
(04:35):
know exactly how your family tree works, why not celebrate
your good luck by considering becoming a supporter at Patreon
dot com slash Funeral Kazoo. Early episodes with no ad
breaks and additional ridiculously interesting material in each new episode
are completely up for grabs and if the spirit of
the season moves you, but only so much, You're obviously
(04:56):
welcome to buy me a coffee at buy Me a
Coffee dot com. Doomsday. That said, there are other things
that you can do that I swear to you are
just as appreciated. You can tell your closest forty to
eighty friends about the show. You could post a positive review.
You could even hop on social media and shame better
Help for not sponsoring the show. I've been trying to
get their attention, but completely without success because I'm not
(05:19):
on a network. I'm just one guy. But I would
love to do better help spots for you guys and
waffle House and maybe even ancestry. I'm also looking to
create and provide subscriptions for ad free content on Apple
and Spotify. I just need a little help in that arena. Now.
You can reach out on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook as
(05:39):
a Doomsday podcast, or fire an email to Doomsday pod
at gmail dot com. But if you can spare the
money and ad to choose, I always ask you to
consider making a donation to Global Medic. Global Medic is
a rapid response agency of Canadian volunteers offering assistant around
the world to aid in the aftermath of disasters and crises,
and they are often the first and sometimes only team
(06:01):
to get critical interventions to people in life threatening situations,
and to date they have helped over five point two
million people across eighty seven different countries. You can learn
more and donate at Globalmenic dot CAA. The next episode
is going to be just about the scariest, most bloodthirsty
thing to ever happen to America's Gulf Coast, and thinking
(06:23):
about it, I'm pretty sure this episode sits in the
top three deadliest episodes that we've ever done. In this episode,
I will be delivering more than seventeen hundred Dodge caravans
full of what's the best way to say this, cold
quiet people? There you go if you follow my meaning
on the next episode. Sorry I had to blow you
(06:46):
off for a week, but I am confident that this
new episode is going to blow you away, maybe into
a tree or into a broken section of flying railway track.
Who knows. Either way, we are all gonna drown. It's
the Galveston Hurricane disaster of nineteen hundred and until then,
we'll talk soon. Safety goggles off and thanks for listening,
