Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 277 - The One Where We Discover The Perils Of Japanese Bathrooms

In This Week’s Show, episode 277 I get my soul sucked out through a hole in a Japanese bathroom… by a scary old woman… who made Steve watch…

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while the Yokai haven’t struck us down yet, we are trying their patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that ancient Greeks did not know what french fries are, which may account for their physical fitness… And my lack of it.

Round Table

Many thanks to Steve E for providing yet another round of fabulous beers for us to review. BGJ has received them and we’ll get them into the lineup asap.

We have a sad update to a story we’ve followed for a while now. Our favorite crazy, daredevil, flat earther Mad Mike Huges, died crash landing his steam powered rocket over California while attempting to get to 5000ft.

Home to some of the world’s most amazing food, innovations, and bigotries — they’re absolutely killing it in the fields of misogyny and transphobia!

We covered the latter some time ago, so today, let’s look at the former…

Because Shea trolled us into telling tall tales of terrifying trickery I present to the patrons a plethora of preposterous parables — all with the same lesson: don’t be a woman, and especially, don’t be an old, unwed, woman!

Seriously, it’s bad for everyone else’s health.
