Intro

On this week’s episode, Erica describes the childhood trauma imprinted upon the lives of several children attending a birthday party as they witnessed a gator deathroll it’s handler. And one dad who saved the day. Mookie walks us through the HUGE missed opportunity that pushed the development of one today’s most iconic companies.

Gator Love!

Lindsay Bull found herself fighting for her life against a co-worker in front of a group of kids and parents. Lindsay is an alligator handler for a company in Utah. As she opened the door, Darth Gator mistook her hand for a piece of chicken and pulled Lindsay into the enclosure. As she fought for her life, she finally got away thanks to one quick-thinking dad. Unfortunately, the kids got more education than they bargained for! I wonder if they had to pay extra for all the excitement.

Netflix isn’t a Blockbuster!

Just think: Netflix & chill could have been Blockbuster & chill! Not quite the same ring to it. Blockbuster’s CEO was given the opportunity to acquire Netflix back in the day but didn’t see the vision. I wonder if he wishes he had a time machine.
