It was a vice thing right? When vice was still decent? He’d inject himself with small amounts of snake venom every day to build a tolerance to it. Over did it a couple of times and had to go to the hospital. Weird fuckin guy.
thing with vice is they stumble ass backwards into cool stories and interesting journalism.
They still produce intriguing things but with an expanded budget they throw way more shit at the wall and end up with a lower hit rate cause, well, again, they have no idea what they’re doing
the Mithridates name is a reference to a story about a Greek king who was afraid of being poisoned, so he always took small amounts of poison until he was immune. Eventually he was (defeated or captured, I don't recall) and wanted to commit suicide, but he was unable to poison himself.
