Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 192 - The One We Where We Honor Picabu And All The Good Dogs

In This Week’s Show, episode 192, it’s hot as fuck in Wyoming so we’re going to the EUs to drink with some monks with dogs!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Asclepius (the Greek god of the medical arts) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that if the Black Panther were to make Jewish bread for Thor’s birthday party in Asgard it would be T’Challa making challah for the Valhalla gala.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that the winged serpents on the staff icon, used on hospitals, ambulances, etc., is called a caduceus, named after a son of Asclepius? When the symbol has only one, wingless snake it’s known as the Rod of Asclepius and is also used to signify medical aid.

But before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

Fun update, the Orange Baby Donnie balloon is one step closer to take-off for our Embarrassment in Chief’s visit to London (day of airing actually). The Mayor of London has given it the green-light (probably because Trump and mayor Sadiq Khan don’t have a good history.) All organizers are still awaiting final approval from the Metropolitan Police and National Air Traffic Service.

Hotshots

Aaron -

ln hotshot news today, recent clinical trials of necklaces-that-make-you-bulletproof came to a screeching halt when Chinaka Adoezuwe, 26, offered to prove the efficacy of his by allowing a would-be buyer to shoot him. He’s dead now.

Apparently, this is a booming industry. Another “traditional” bulletproof-er died earlier this year the same way. So popular are these charms in Nigeria that even the police wear them. Many admitted to having more confidence in being protected "the traditional way," anon quote “even my wife knows about the charm and we are both Christians. She does not complain because at the end of the day, she does not want me to lose my life facing armed robbers. There is nothing wrong with double protection,” one officer told the publication.

Steve - Eat nuts to improve your nut? Apparently, there is a general decline in sperm counts across the Western world linked to pollution, smoking, and diet. The BBC is reporting in a story which doesn’t mention the source, that a study shows that adding nuts to your diet can improve the health of your sperm. The nuts in question consist of two ounces of mixed almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts daily in addition to the regular diet of the 119 healthy male participants aged 18-35. As with all limited study’s, experts caution against thinking that this could apply generally across populations and just becoming healthier generally is probably the best way to shoot a better load. http://bit.ly/2KSI62n

Shea-

A very silly, but at the same time serious name war is brewing between Scandinavian breweries and German brewery Wacken Brauerei. Wacken Brauerei is currently patenting names from Norse Mythology and threatens others to "involve lawyers and in the worst case even courts,” if they use the names for their beer. Wacken Brauerei claimed in a Facebook statement that they filed for these patents to d...
