Eric starts wondering what’s really under our streets, and that kicks off a full dive (not literally, thankfully) into the mysterious world of sewers. From Ninja Turtles to storm drains to Todd’s run-ins with underground cabling, we try to figure out how any of this actually works—and how much of it is just movie magic.
-
Sewer knowledge from three key sources: Ninja Turtles, D&D maps, and real-life manholes
-
The difference between storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and telecom tunnels
-
How cities built these systems in the first place
-
Why the sewers in movies are way bigger and cleaner than reality
-
Could you really travel cross-country underground? (spoiler: no)
-
Sewer workers, mystery societies, and the unknown world beneath our feet
It’s easily one of the #$%^iest conversations we’ve had on the TodCast – and we mean that in the most literal way possible.
