You know what I realize this podcast is? It's like when you are at a cocktail party or out to dinner with like a group of your partner's friends and you don't know what to talk about and you just get to say, I heard the craziest story on a podcast. That is every single one of these episodes. Tonight on a very special episode. Hey, this is Danish Sports. You may know my voice from Noble Blood, Haleywood, or Stealing Superman. I'm hosting a new podcast with Zarin Burnett and Jules. Jason English, and we're calling it

very special episodes. A very special episode is that sort of story where there's a clear before and a clear after with a big WTF in the middle. This is your invitation to follow us down a different rabbit hole every Wednesday. One week,

we'll be on the case with special agents from NASA as they crack down on black market moon rocks. H. Ross froze on the other side and he goes, Hello, Joe. How can I help you? I said, Mr. Perrault, what we need is $5 billion to get back a moonrock. Another week, we'll unravel a 90s Hollywood mystery.

It sounds like it should be the next season of True Detective or something. These Canadian cops trying to solve this 25-year-old mystery of who spiked the chowder on the Titanic's end. We've got another one about a young Mark Twain and the San Francisco bar fight that changed the course of American literature. We'll unpack the greatest botany rivalry of all time and take you inside. Spider-Man's adventures on Broadway. The weird thing is like, here is just part of societal collapse. Ticket sales went up

because it became this weird thing that like, you may see someone maimed on Broadway. A very special episode is stranger than fiction. It's normal people plop down in extraordinary circumstances. It's a story where you say, this should be a movie.

It's our masterpiece theater. It's our movie of the week. It's Mr. McPhile coming over to Mr. Rogers and popping something in the VCR. I don't get that reference. Yeah, you got to work on these references. Jason, I'm 30. That settles it. Mr. McPhile Deep dive.

We're doing it.
