On this episode of the FratChat Podcast, we’re counting down the Top 10 Worst Viral Internet Challenges the internet has ever produced. The internet gave humanity unlimited knowledge, instant communication, and the ability to learn almost any skill imaginable… and we used it to invent challenges where people eat laundry detergent, inhale cinnamon, blindfold themselves in public, and literally pass out for views. From the dangerously stupid Blackout Challenge and the injury-causing Skull Breaker Challenge, to classics like the Tide Pod Challenge, Cinnamon Challenge, and the chaotic Milk Crate Challenge, we break down the viral trends that made the entire internet collectively look like it lost its mind. Some were painful, some were embarrassing, and a few were so dangerous that doctors and news networks had to publicly beg people to stop doing them.
We also hit some of our favorite FratChat segments, including Emails From the Listeners, where a listener asks if having a joint bachelor/bachelorette party is basically asking for relationship disaster after hearing about Dak Prescott’s canceled wedding, and another listener who picked up laundry from a wash-and-fold service… only to find mystery panties mixed in with his clothes and now has to convince his girlfriend he’s not cheating. In Not the Drag Queens, we break down new reporting connected to FBI interview notes from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. And in the news segment, we talk about the incredibly badass ROTC cadets at Old Dominion University who tackled and stopped a classroom shooter—likely saving lives in the process—while honoring the instructor who tragically lost his life.
