In this first Dad Tangent, we sail back to the 9th century to meet Rurik — a Viking who somehow kick-started Russian and Ukrainian history — and the fiery Princess Olga of Kyiv, who took the phrase "don’t mess with grandma" to a whole new level. These stories didn’t make it into the main episode, but they’re too wild (and too fun) to leave out. It’s history’s weird side quest — and you’re coming along for the ride.
