In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... Tarot Cards! Oooh spooky, you say? Nonsense, we say! After a good 30 minute dive into their history and current use, Tarot Cards seem to be one of those things that are just misunderstood. If you (like a lot of people) think of them as a tool of the occult, prepare to be surprised. Also, prepare to learn the definition of “occult” and maybe be surprised by that too. We learned a bit about the history of playing cards themselves (thank you, Egypt!) and then found ourselves in Italy once again (no pizza this time). We thought this topic was really interesting and pretty cool. If Tarot Cards are your thing, great! Follow your bliss. If not, great! You do you, kids. Be a good person! 

Highlights include: 

- A very poorly run multiple choice test

- Lots of mispronunciation (probably!)

- The Book of Thoth
