On this episode of Our American Stories, Richard Muniz tells a story that one of his friends told him about a coffee incident that took place on the USS Enterprise. Matt Parker, a comedian and mathematician from Australia, tells the story of the time Michael Larson was shockingly good at the game show "Press Your Luck," and gives a look into why computers can’t be random. Buried beneath the St. Patrick’s Day symbols of shamrocks, leprechauns, and green beer, lies the story of a man determined to share a message with a people who made him a slave.
