About this episode

On this week’s episode of The Middle Classholes, Wes trades his desk for manual labor pulling low-voltage cabling at George Washington University, sparking a chat on the physical toll of blue-collar work, while O'Raley and Murr swap wild stories of waging war on local raccoons. The guys then dissect an atrocious botched home run review at an Orioles game, unpack a massive, pledge-run Penn State fraternity cocaine bust, and recount history's most expensive hoaxes—including the man who sold the Eiffel Tower twice. Rounding out the show, they reveal the bizarre news story behind this week's cover art featuring a man dressed as the Grim Reaper on a hospital roof and tackle listener emails on home inspections and upcoming crossovers. 00:00:17 – Blue-Collar Cable Pulling & Daily Body Wear00:06:47 – Pergola Raccoons & Postal Delivery Tripwires00:14:32 – Orioles Home Run Review & Bad Umpiring00:22:12 – The Union System & Referee Incompetence00:29:47 – Penn State Fraternity Cocaine Bust00:38:02 – Digital Payments & Campus Drug Logistics00:45:27 – History's Most Expensive Scams00:53:12 – The Eiffel Tower Hoax & Cardiff Giant01:00:57 – Grim Reaper on the Hospital Roof01:08:22 – Home Inspections & Summer Crossovers
