| 6/19/26 | ![]() 259: Emily was caught by airport security | Do you remember the TV show called Locked Up Abroad? It’s no longer in active production, but you can still see past seasons on some different platforms like Hulu and Apple TV. Every episode of the show was a true story of someone who was traveling outside their own country. Actually I seem to recall that most of the people were Americans traveling outside the US. And they would make a really bad decision to do something like trying to smuggle drugs or other illegal things into this other country. And of course they would get caught, and now they’re arrested and in jail in a place where they don’t really know the rules or procedures, and there might not even be anyone there who speaks English. It’s a true nightmare scenario. My guest today is Emily. She has personally been through that type of experience, and she told that story here on the podcast 5 years ago. She was the one who tried to get through airport security, while having bags of cocaine taped to her body. That was not a good day for Emily. But wait til you hear what she’s done with her life since then. If you’d like to contact Emily, her website is https://ComeBackSnacks.com Comeback Catalyst:https://comebackcatalyst.ca Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/259 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

| 3/6/26 | ![]() 248: Adam fell during a phone call | Sometimes, technology can almost seem like magic. That’s how I think sometimes about cell phones. I mean, you can just pull a little device out of your pocket, tap a couple of things on the screen, and suddenly you’re talking in real time to some other person, who can be anywhere in the world? I know we take this for granted now, but it’s pretty amazing. There was a little trick I used to do sometimes, with Skype. Remember Skype? Back in the day, it was pretty cool to be able to use your computer to actually make a phone call. Of course, now we do it all the time with Google Voice. But Skype used to be pretty cutting edge. Anyway, one of the features of having a Skype account was 3-way calling. You could have a 3-way conversation really easily. So what I would do is pull up the Skype app on my computer, and have my list of contacts on the screen. I would click on my dad’s name, so it would start dialing his phone number. Then I would click my brother’s name, and it would start dialing HIS phone number. They would both answer the phone, like “Hello?” and I would just stay silent and enjoy the confusion. They each knew their phone rang, and of course they recognized each other’s voices, but neither of them had made the call so they had no idea why their phones rang. It was always good for a laugh. But sometimes, a phone call can be traumatic. My guest today is Adam. He was enjoying some solo rock-climbing one day, and was on the phone with his roommate, Rachel. That phone call became one that neither of them will ever forget. Adam is on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aaiaiaaoui/ This is Adam’s band, Birdnest - https://www.instagram.com/birdnest.music/ Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/248 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
