Xieng Mieng! We love Xieng Mieng so much, we decided to invite him onto our podcast. Unfortunately, he lost his voice recently, so Anton has decided to tell Xieng Mieng's Laotian stories on his behalf. But trust me, these are great stories. The Laotian people have a great sense of humor (email us if you can confirm this is true, [email protected]).

There's also a story that speaks poorly of men's armpits, much to Lilly's delight ('cause we all know how much she looooovees men).

Let us know if you love Xieng Mieng as much as we do. Here are the links to the folk tales, here, here, and here. You can reach out to Lilly and me on Instagram at @lillytalksalot and @whatsupanton, respectively.

(Apologies for being late, we just had so much fun with Xieng Mieng, we lost track of time!)
