Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 206 - The One Where We Pre-Game For The Next Live 4 More Beers!

In This Week’s Show, episode 206, we visit Russia’s North Carolina for broomstick riding homeopathwhiches.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Saint-Fiacre (the patron saint of gardening and plowboys) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that Vampires can't have babies, not because their sperm is dead like them but because they can't come inside without permission.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

You probably already knew that humans are genetically similar to pigs (everything from stem cell research, to donor organs, to forensic pathology use piggy parts), but did you know that Chinese geneticists have crossed pig genes with those of a jellyfish, producing piglets whose tongues and trotters glow fluorescent green in UV light? I’m planning a liberation movement, but don’t tell the Chinese.

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

Round Table Discussion

New Patron: Lindy!

Also, we’re glad to hear that we could help bring some normalcy to a difficult time - or at least our version of it - and we’re especially happy to hear that your mum is doing better! Thanks for supporting the show but also for letting us know that it’s had a positive impact. Podcasters in our niche I think all have a few stories like this and every one is humbling and motivating, so, despite your kind words of appreciation, I must insist that it is indeed our very good pleasure to thank you!

Thanks to Eric S., who is either a railroad spy or modern outlaw, and says train plundering is still pretty common. Per Eric “lots of containers with expensive small items” are frequent thefts.

Message from Freethinker215

Basically, don’t whizz on your food Steve.

Before we dive into hotshots we have a brief correction - for Jenn! It turns out that pre-Viking nordic countries weren’t the rainbowlific fjords of shirtless Thor-y fabulousness she accidentally lead us to believe. It seems Vikings mostly came from Norway and Denmark, not Sweden or Sweden 2, which I’m given to understand is called Swizz-Ur-lend because of a 10,000-year-old decision New Zealand-Batman made. Also, this is why Jenn does emails.

Headlines

The Woman from Methlehem - http://bit.ly/2yodcXD

This story isn’t real and we had to cut it. Which is what happens when Jenn Snopeses something and Shea doesn’t. C’est la vie, but the headline was too good not to include. “Methlehem”, well played Shea.

All that said, this story will air. It was funny as hell if a bit short on the count of being super fake. If you’re interested - and you should be - I’ll be adding it to the outtakes of the next episode of our patron exclusive bonus show, 4 More Beers, Episode 24! Available soon at Patreon.com/W4W

Dehydrating Your You

I think we can all agree alkaline water won’t cure cancer. But I’ve recently discovered what can!

No water!

That’s right, Dry Fasting, which is apparently a thing new-age woos are doing now has become a fad, or at least faddy enough to inspire millions of youtube views and thousands of followers in groups like Hellville to Wellville on facebook. See the idea is to not drink water for like 3 days.

Now, some of you who passed 3rd-grade health-science, or you know, are living people,
