What do you do when you break your leg mid-concert in front of thousands of fans? If you're Dave Grohl, you get stabilized backstage and come right back out — seated in what fans would later call the "Rock Throne" — and finish the show anyway. In this episode of Are You Shitting Me? Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities, Brett discovers there are levels to toughness, and he is not on any of them. Dave Grohl broke his leg falling off stage in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2015, and instead of calling it a night, he turned it into one of the most legendary comeback moments in rock history — continuing to tour with the Foo Fighters while recovering from a legitimate, medical-grade fracture. Meanwhile, Brett once hurt his back sleeping wrong and questioned his entire existence for 45 minutes. This one's short, wild, and 100% true.

What happens when a bouncer, bodyguard, and motivational speaker are all the same person? You get Mr. T — and somehow it works.
In this episode of Are You Shitting Me? Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities, Brett breaks down the surprisingly deep legacy of Mr. T: from his early days in security to his real-world work with at-risk youth and his trademark brand of tough-love mentorship. Spoiler — nobody argues back when Mr. T tells you to get your life together.
Beyond the gold chains, the mohawk, and the A-Team, there's a guy who leaned into his larger-than-life image to genuinely influence people for the better. The image is a comic book. The impact is real.
I pity the fool who misses this one.

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.
