Show Notes
On this episode of The Damaged Ones Podcast, Sarah Altland opens up about dealing with a full-on mice infestation in her home — and how small household problems can spiral fast if you don’t catch them early. That leads into both hosts sharing real, unsettling stories about homes catching fire, near-misses, and practical ways to stop everyday accidents from turning into full-blown disasters.
Then, we dive into the meat and potatoes of the episode as Mike Garcia breaks down the psychology behind reality TV game shows like Beast Games — why people justify betraying others for money, how moral lines blur under pressure, and what national television reveals about human behavior when survival, greed, and validation collide.
If you’ve ever asked yourself “What would I do for life-changing money?” — this episode might make you uncomfortable in the best way.
