This month we lose our head over the British myth of Sir Gawain and his run-in with the green night. We get a crash course in chivalry and Matthew tells him how society has branded him a "hero".

This week we dive back into floods with the story of Noah and the biblical flood myth. We get into the practicalities of ark construction and dung removal, how this story is the origin of racism, the crazy people who keep looking for an imaginary boat, and the terrible people who made their own arks.  Plus, Anna does an epically villainous act and Matthew meets a person! 

This month we put the “Mess” in Mesopotamia  as Matthew introduces Anna to one of the oldest stories of all time; The Epic of Gilgamesh. They talk about it’s influence on other epics (including the Bible and the Avengers), the poor judgment of the gods, the relative scariness of farm animals, and what a much cooler dude Gilgamesh’s friend Enkidu is. Plus Anna touts her one piece of knowledge about this story in an attempt to become Matthew’s hero and Matthew takes an epic, feminist stand.

*Please note* Mathew’s audio is a bit muddled this week. We did our best to clean it up but it’s not the best quality. Sorry.

We start with the end of Norse mythology as we discuss the myth of Ragnarök. This myth has everything: Dragons, giants, wolves, squirrels, someone eats the moon, a ship made of fingernails, trees, and much, much more. Plus Matthew pitches some more side shows, Anna derails the whole conversation with discussion about a couple who had a bunch of kids and we make a plan for a pretty great party next year that you’re invited to!

We start out strong looking at the lives of half-twins Castor and Pollux. We talk about their complicated paternity, delve into the sexuality of various water fowl, and question whether these guys are really heroes at all. Plus Matthew reveals he has (very limited) super powers.

Back from break with a big name in the saint game: Saint Augustine. He’s a guy who loved sin as much as he loved lying about sinning and we follow him from Algeria to Milan and back again with minimal asides about Columbian hippos Plus, Anna learns new skills and Matthew miraculously survives another Oxford Comedy Festival.

Sorry it took so long but here is the exciting/depressing conclusion of the story of the life of St. Junipero. Don’t worry, it’s not just all colonizing, it’s only mostly colonizing but occasionally there is a sombrero riot and jerks get shot with an arrow. So you have that to look forward too. Plus, Anna isn’t the sickest person on the podcast for once and Matthew spent a lot of his week editing out all his coughing from the audio.

Oh boy, this is a bad one folks. Take a trip to the New World (always a bad sign) with Saint Junipero. He was a “missionary” in Mexico with an aversion to horses, a misunderstanding of bats, and a love of the inquisition so great we have to do two episodes about him. Plus, Anna over-pronounces her limited Spanish Vocabulary and Matthew has an Enterprising Father’s Day.

Get ready for some mind-blowing church innovation as we discuss the life of  Saint Paulinus of Nola. Sure he was rich, powerful, and had a hot wife but that doesn’t mean he didn’t give back to the community and not just in the form of a lot of churches in one specific part of Italy. He also helped a guy one time by appearing in his kidnapper's dreams. Plus, Anna witnesses some instant karma form God and Matthew become a better burrito based ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
