In today’s episode, Cooper and Ian will be discussing one of the most badass dudes to ever grace the Earth with his presence, Peter Fruechen. He was a Danish explorer that stood 6 feet 7 inches tall, and could put the fear of god into a man's heart with just a look. He killed a wolf with his bare hands, became a world famous author, escaped the Nazis, cut off his own toes, starred in an Oscar-winning film that was based on his own book, and cut himself free from an ice imprisonment in one of the most unique ways we've ever heard of. Grab a drink and tune in....and yes, we tell the poopsicle story;)
