Beschreibung

At Six Flags, hang on to your crap when on a ride, cause you're not getting it back until the park closes. The park policy is that rides don't shut down to retrieve lost items. If you lose your phone, your glasses, your hat—tough toenails. You'll have to stick around to closing time if you want that item back. However, there was an exception to this policy. And what did this customer lose in mid ride that caused the ride to be shut down so that it could be retrieved? You'll find out in this episode of OK Boomer during my interview with a former member of the management team at Six Flags amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois. Lacie Mayer gives us an inside look at how things work at a business that can have up to 50,000 visitors in one day- and yes, she'll tell us what that customer lost on the Batman ride.

Episode Mayor Steve Swanson, outside, in his underwear: "What the Hell is going on?" Cover

Mayor Steve Swanson, outside, in his underwear: "What the Hell is going on?"

As a small town mayor, he was in charge of million dollar projects. He ran meetings where the public was encouraged to give feedback, which could be less than positive. He was in charge of civic improvements in which he would work side-by-side with employees, operating heavy machinery. What did he earn for these efforts? Around four dollars an hour. Then he watched his town go up in flames. (He first saw the fire at 2:00 AM from his yard while partially dressed.) Join Boomer for a conversation with Steve Swanson, long time mayor of Prophetstown, Illinois. They'll discuss the fire and other projects he spearheaded in sixteen years as mayor.
