Summary

Yanni & Chris take this episode over to the Eastern Hemi to break down the history of Samurai culture. Then, NFL legend Pacman Jones drops in for a wild ride. We’re talking samurais, their savage discipline, and their leaky roofs. Is there a modern-day Bushido? Also, Chris tells Yanni the story of the only black ninja from that period and it is wild. And don’t worry, we made sure this episode was good… or we would’ve had to honor-kill ourselves like the samurai. Arigatu, cuz.

If I eat sushi, I do do it with a fork.
