212: Dog Accidentally Fires Shotgun From Truck

What happens when criminals forget how gasoline works? Or when a dog accidentally becomes the prime suspect in a drive-by shooting?

This week on The Shallow End, JG and Lindsay dive into two true stories that sound completely made up—but absolutely aren't. First, a pair of aspiring arsonists discover that fire has very strong opinions about gasoline, leading to one of the fastest criminal career collapses ever captured on surveillance video. Then, a routine stop at a Nebraska convenience store turns into national news when a dog named Duke accidentally discharges a shotgun from inside a parked vehicle, injuring a woman at a nearby stoplight and creating one of the strangest police reports in recent memory.

Along the way, the boys discuss Charles Manson tours, celebrity housecleaning before visitors arrive, the emotional aftermath of surviving a medical nightmare, and the timeless truth that physics remains undefeated.

No one was seriously injured. Several people were embarrassed. One pair of pants paid the ultimate price.

Because sometimes the funniest stories are the ones that really happened.
