Billionaire Stockton Rush III dreamt of exploring the Titanic. Only problem? It's really freaking hard to get to. So he pieced together the world's shoddiest submersible built from Playstation parts and promised rich tourists a view of the Titanic for the price of $250,000. Less than two hours into the dive, Rush's dream quite literally imploded... taking 4 people with him. At least, according to sonar readings, Rush really went out with a bang.

Jake Cornell (Hey Big Guy, Man & Woman) and comedian and former member of the Coast Guard, Noah Miller, join Misha to take a deep dive into the Oceangate disaster.
