Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 241 - The One Where Jenn Teaches Us About Mooooon Sexing

In This Week’s Show, episode 241, we’re back and it’s show time! Not, not show time like last week, we promise!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Selene, the Titan goddess of the moon, hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that older forms of English kept Latin’s gender specific suffixes -tor and -trix; tor was for men and trix was for women. A male pilot was an Aviator where a woman was an Aviatrix, same for gladiator and gladiatrix. This contrasts the modern system where tor is for both men and women and trix are for kids.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know our moon is the 5th largest in our solar system? And that’s all the real stuff you’re going to learn today about the moon!

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

Round Table Discussion

Thanks for understanding about last week’s clusterfuck everyone. I’m blaming Texas. We tried something new and it was… terrible… just terrible.

On the upside, this airs on my birthday, so leave us an iTunes review!

New patron Lindy… hop?

Listener Mandy asked us on Twitter about Wyoming beers in bottles (friend is collecting ones from all 50 states and can’t find one from WY)

This week’s patreon story … is a hoax.

Thank you, good night.

But really, I was going to do the story of how Finland isn’t real until I checked my unplayed podcasts. Thanks Citation Needed.

So I started looking for other crypto-geos.

Turns out Wyoming isn’t real. We’re a deep-state fake. That’s true.

Also, Australia isn’t real.

We know this because in 2006 the Flat Earth Society discovered that under the Earth there be monsters… and not just drop bears. Then in 2017 a reddit user explained that a zanny land of poisonous everything and giant hoppy, boxing, mice is clearly made up. According to Floryd, who lives in Stockholm - a real place - Australia was invented by Britain as the magical place they sent all those criminals they actually murdelated. Floryd has 20,000 followers. They fervently believe that the entire island was fabricated to hide the execution of 162,000 prisoners. A con continued to this day through the employment of fake airline pilots, and zainy actors with obviously fake, cartoonish accents.
