We're giving you a history lesson on this episode, but don't worry, it's a hilarious tale of incompetence! During the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, Russia was looking to take back a warm water port on the Liaodong Peninsula in the south of Manchuria, China.
Russia had gained control of Port Arthur through an agreement with China but Japan wasn't having that and took control of it at The Siege of Port Arthur.
In response, Russia decided to send a fleet of their ships on an 18,000 mile journey to attempt to ambush the Japanese and get the port back. Unfortunately, the fleet known as the Russian Second Pacific Squadron was a hodgepodge of old obsolete battleships, ferries, and yachts manned by a crew of inexperienced sailors.
The events that occurred during their long voyage were a slapstick comedy of errors that resulted in disaster after disaster.
We promise that if you like to laugh, you HAVE to listen to this episode!

While most hijackers in the 60s demanded to be taken to Cuba, Raffaele Minichiello had a different destination in mind. The hijacked flight went across the country from California to New York before heading to an entirely different continent.

1 The True Story That Inspired "The Orphan" Movie and What Did Joel Do to RAW GM Adam Pearce (Plus Our Week 4 NFL Picks!) 52:07
If you watched the MAX docuseries about Natalia Grace, you know how that case was influenced by the 2009 horror movie, "The Orphan", but what you might not know is that the horror movie was inspired by a true story that took place in the Czech Republic. A woman named Barbora Skrlova, born with a condition known as hypopituitarism, which affected her growth and appearance, making her look much younger than her actual age, used this to her advantage to escape justice and manipulate others, posing as different children in different countries and recruiting new members into her father's cult, known as The Grail. Stick around to find out what Joel did to get blocked by WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce on Facebook. He must have said something pretty awful, right? Well, click play on this episode and hear what happened. Finally, we make our picks for every game of the Week 4 NFL season.…

Прослушать Позже Прослушать Позже Списки Нравится НравитсяThe main story begins at 15:39 for those who want to skip the opening banter Natalia Grace Barnett is a Ukrainian-born American with dwarfism, who, in 2010, was adopted by an American family but abandoned by them two years later. Barnett's adoptive parents claimed that Barnett was a legal adult, and, in 2012, they successfully sought a court order legally changing her birth year from 2003 to 1989. MAX now features two seasons of the ID channel's series on Natalia's case featuring interviews with Natalia, her adoptive father Michael Barnett, her new adoptive parents, "legal experts", and various characters who encountered Natalia during this turmoil. Almost everyone involved is pretty awful and Michael easily takes the top prize for most unhinged human being to ever appear on television. Cash and Joel review both seasons of the docuseries and raise questions over the validity of its content. Both hosts had different perspectives while watching as Joel went into it not knowing anything about it while Cash had some forewarning about how the two seasons play out, so it's interesting to see how their opinions differ and align.…
