Ep. 110: Great Warriors, Giant Axes, and Snail Racing

The wise Jedi Master Yoda once taught us that 'wars not make one great'... but history tends to tell it otherwise. On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat share the stories of some of the best-remembered 'warriors' that our world has ever known, from the most cunning tacticians, to the greatest individual fighters, and more. The guys cover over 2,500 years of human history this week, while also talking some Warriors basketball, speculating on the Korean age-measurement system, and, as always, detailing a handful of strange news headlines that you won't find anywhere else. Were the Mongolian conquests of the middle-ages really the brainchild of a field general not named 'Khan'? What hero of the American Revolution became infamous for killing a fellow 'Founding Father' during his time as U.S. Vice President? Is Steph Curry the greatest Warrior in Golden State history? Are giant kites powered by the wind the future of sea transportation? For answers to these questions and plenty more, please give our latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
