So i've heard some shyt about Rasputen before but just got to the part in the podcast Dan talks about where they are trying to kill him in that basement....dude was possessed or some shyt. It almost reminds of the various scenes in Pain and Gain where the three dudes try to kill the guy they kidnapped and they were just to stupid to get it right.

if that autopsy is correct that :lupe:
Poisoned with cyanide, shot in the chest, back and FOREHEAD, rolled up into and tied up in a carpet and tossed into an icy river. Autopsy showed he had water in his lungs, meaning he drowned.:bryan:

Check to see if the documentary about him is still on Netflix. When he started talking about the Czar I knew Rasputen was going to factor in, just for the simple fact that he had a lot of influence.




This episode was just :wow:

i liked it more as a work of fiction. I assumed that once it went on the Marco is inserted into a culture known for its warfare craft yet as an abandoned son of a silk trader he is still able to provide military advice that it was a work of fiction more than fact.

Good show though none the less.

Thats actually what got me to download these podcasts. Its an ok show but I haven't read too much into the Mongols outside of high school.
