Every big moment starts with a big dream. But what happens when that big dream turns out to be a big flop? From Wondery and At Will Media, I'm Misha Brown, and this is The Big Flop. Every week, comedians join me to chronicle the biggest flubs, fails, and blunders of all time, like Quibi.

The number one thing we hope AI replaces, it's the traffic light. Totally. And it's happening right now. But yetis, in order to tell this story, let's travel back in time to New York City, 1914.
