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.
