(AYSM) is the hilarious, no-holds-barred podcast where hosts Brett & Chuck uncover the weirdest facts, funniest stories, and WTF moments from history, science, music, beer, or pop culture. From bizarre poop science to forgotten presidents, strange sports to songs that almost didn’t make it, each episode delivers absurd and totally useless, fascinating knowledge you didn’t know you needed. We pair a beer with each topic, because... why not? It's just like sitting around with your friends and discussing whatever comes up—best enjoyed with a beer in hand. www.aysm.show","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T00:17:24.648148+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770"},"episode":{"title":"He Survived Niagara Falls in a Steel Barrel and Was Killed by an Orange Peel","slug":"he-survived-niagara-falls-in-a-steel-barrel-and-was-killed-by-an-orange-peel","published_at":"2026-04-13T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770/he-survived-niagara-falls-in-a-steel-barrel-and-was-killed-by-an-orange-peel","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aysm/episodes/He-Survived-Niagara-Falls-in-a-Steel-Barrel-and-Was-Killed-by-an-Orange-Peel-e3hd8tv","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e55363cc/podcast/play/117924223/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-3-3%2F421365979-44100-2-fdfd515914745.mp3","summary":"Bobby Leach went over Niagara Falls in a steel barrel in 1911, broke both kneecaps, fractured his jaw, spent 23 weeks in the hospital, and lived to tell the tale for 15 years — only to slip on an orange peel in New Zealand and die of gangrene. A 63-year-old schoolteacher beat him to the jump AND outlived him. This is a real historical event. Are you shitting me? A dumb thing Brett learned while avoiding real responsibilities.","meta_description":"Bobby Leach went over Niagara Falls in a steel barrel in 1911, broke both kneecaps, fractured his jaw, spent 23 weeks in the hospital, and lived to tell t…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":142,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770/episodes/he-survived-niagara-falls-in-a-steel-barrel-and-was-killed-by-an-orange-peel/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770/he-survived-niagara-falls-in-a-steel-barrel-and-was-killed-by-an-orange-peel.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
