After announcing himself as a horse worth watching, Phar Lap would unleash on the Sydney and Melbourne Spring Carnivals, only for the intrigue to build around him.

After four starts, Phar Lap had come last and his best finish was seventh. He needed a win badly, as did his trainer Harry Telford who was deeply in debt to everyone.
As Phar Lap's three-year-old season started, no one could have predicted what the unfancied horse was about to unleash on the Sydney spring carnival.

On the 4 of October 1926, late in the season, a horse was born in Timaru, New Zealand.
The horse's arrival couldn't have been less interesting to almost everyone, except for an Australian trainer Harry Telford. Broke and perpetually down on his luck, Telford saw something in the horse's bloodline.
Yet even he, upon seeing the awkward, gangly horse thought he had made the biggest mistake of his life.
That horse's name was Phar Lap.

Former Chicago Bull Dennis Rodman offered to go to Russia to talk to President Vladimir Putin about the imprisoned WNBA star Brittney Griner.
While Rodman claims somewhat falsely that "I know Putin too well," there’s one dictator he does know well, North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un.
Between 2013 and 2018, Rodman made numerous trips to North Korea, calling Jong-un a ‘friend for life’. At one point, Rodman was one of only two men in the world who had met Kim Jong-un and then President Donald Trump.
Titus O’Reily and Mick Molloy discuss the strangest relationship in international politics and look at claims Rodman was an intelligence officer working for the Central Intelligence Agency or just a useful idiot for the North Koreans.

On 8 August 1907, a secret meeting at Bateman’s Hotel in Sydney established a professional version of rugby in Australia and League was born.

In July 1985, it was announced that Geoffrey Edelsten had purchased the Sydney Swans, the first private owner of a VFL side.
What followed were cheerleaders, Warrick Capper, a liaison with Hitman Mr Rent-a-Kill, Christopher Dale Flannery and possibly a pink helicopter.
In AFL Grand Final week, Mick and Titus remember one of the early episodes as the AFL pushed North.
