What happens if you mix sporting and fitness culture with 20th century race science and a dash of rat poison? You get the 1904 Olympic Marathon. Join Tim and Derek as we discuss perhaps the worst sporting event in the history of the Olympic Games. From the mountain paths of Cuba to the Gateway to the West, witness these athletes fall victim to the shameful conduct of careless organizers and the subtle power of Mother Nature.
Rules: 1. Every time someone gets hurt - sip 2. every time I mention someone who's not American - 3 sips 3. every time someone consumes something that should not be consumed - shot
