029: Maps, The Berbice Rebellion and Cuffy -1763


Listen Later

This week we cover the year: 1763!

Randi tells the first story of the week and covers the Berbice Rebellion. The Emotional Support beverages of the week are Dr Pepper (Randi), a cocktail in a can (Greg), and Water (Karina).

Randi  educates us once again on how maps work, specifically the location of Guyana. The trio offend every state and country mentioned in today's episode and wonder about the abundance of plastics.
