With special guest Longinus, P&C drink and review Samuel Adams' Jack-O Pumpkin Ale, then wonder why dragons show up in so many cultures around the world.

Spanning the east, the west, and the Americas, the boys discuss dragon stories -- what they have in common and how they diverge.

* Are they always mean?

* Do they always hoard treasure?

* Do they always want to eat virgins?

* Were they all sea serpents?

What they have in common is a monster that represents chaos.

In the west, people believed in actual dragons for a long time, then modernism set in and killed the dragons. Tolkien and other fantasy writers revived them. Now we have dragons all over the place again.

Jordan Peterson often repeats a theory -- based on evolutionary psychology -- for why dragons developed.
