Won Nothing Podcast
This podcast is far from your typical podcast. Beware the faint of heart, and welcome the macabre and the morbid. Each episode will feature a different human victim, whether they succumbed to an animal attack, were murdered by another human, or met their grisly fate in a freak accident. We will learn more about the victim's life and death in each episode, and learn a bit about why or how they were chosen to depart this earthly realm, along with some interesting facts and features about the animals and people that caused these traumatic events, and how we can potentially avoid being in those situations ourselves.

*SPECIAL* Episode 30: WON SOMETHING ft. JC La Verde
For JC, life was just one big adventure waiting to be taken by the reigns. Though he devoted his life to many heroic duties such as spending his time as a firefighter and a paramedic rescue specialist in the Air Force, his real passion lied with adventure. So it was no surprise when JC launched a company devoted to training athletes and supplying adventure inspiration.
This inspiration was never in short supply, and this includes August 3 2021, when JC began what was supposed to be an educational video about an upcoming triathlon. To help fellow athletes understand the route, JC got into the murky green lake and began tracing the route while a friend piloted a drone just overhead - but unusual for JC, he left caution in the rearview when he jumped into Lake Thonotosassa in Hillsborough County, Florida that day, and a 12 foot American Alligator took the opportunity to attack JC in a surprise encounter that left him badly injured.
Join us for a personal in-depth look into this tragic incident and how JC relied on his faith and emotional strength to not only wrestle himself out of the enormous reptile's jaws, but get himself to safety where he could begin his long and strenuous recovery.
