If you're wondering where to find fantastic beasts, may we suggest The Great Emu War of 1932 and The Hippo Bill of 1910. Cass and Nat both coincidentally bring tales from the animal kingdom this week showcasing the failure of the Australian army to defeat the pesky Emus and the failure of American congress to pass a bill that would've filled our nation's bayous with hippos. These are real things. We hope you learn something.
