Summary
A Belgian inventor walks into a fancy London party in the 1770s with a world-changing invention, a master plan, and absolutely zero regard for physics. What happens next is either the greatest product launch fail in recorded history — or the most spectacular party entrance anyone has ever attempted. Either way, someone's paying for the damage. Are You Sh!#ing Me is the show where history's most unbelievable true stories get the appreciation they deserve. Host Brett raises a glass to the legends who swung big, missed spectacularly, and somehow never made it into the textbooks. Cheers!
