This week we take a  tipsy dive into the sea, examining the illusive Kraken, the dangerous Leviathan, the cursed Scylla, and the unfortunate Charybdis. Our drink of the week, Kraken Barrels, has two simple ingredients: rum and root beer. 

Bonus Drinking Game: Take a drink every time Liz says "um" or Severyn says "like." We know we repeat ourselves, might as well have some fun with it.

Thanks for listening!
