Some guys have all the luck, some guys have all the pain. So said Rod Stewart. And if this list is any indication, “guys” is gender neutral. Listen to this episode as Chuck and Josh cover some instances of amazingly bad fortune, most of it true!
# Stuff You Should Know Episode Summary
Josh and Chuck dive into a fascinating collection of stories about people who experienced genuinely terrible luck, from Ron Wayne's decision to cash out of Apple after just 12 days (missing out on nearly $100 billion) to Ann Hodges, the only person ever recorded to be struck by a meteorite. They explore how bad timing can derail promising opportunities, examine cases of people caught in multiple terrorist attacks, and investigate disputed claims about who really invented the telephone, all while debating what actually counts as "bad luck" versus poor decisions.
