Glauc Talk: How Many Times Can One Person Escape Death?

In this episode we take a deep dive into fear—caving, the deep ocean, cruise ships, and even horseback riding. We discuss the internet’s obsession with terrifying survival stories and why people voluntarily put themselves in dangerous situations. I also recounts the time I fell off a horse… into the ocean, proving yet again that I have somehow escaped death multiple times. But it's not all fun and fear—we also discuss the ongoing Providence Health strike, where physicians and nurses continue to fight for fair wages and safer staffing conditions. Takeaways: Caving is an unnecessary risk—you don’t have to do it, ever, and you’ll probably be just fine. The ocean is objectively terrifying, whether it’s open water, cruise ships, or mysterious creatures lurking below. Work retreats should have limits—no horseback riding, extreme sports, or survivalist adventures required. The Providence Health strike continues, with physicians and nurses standing together for fair wages and safe staffing. Will has cheated death at least four times, including falling off a horse into the ocean during their honeymoon. — We have an active survey going.
