78 – Whatta Mighty Good Man – Grigori Rasputin

About the Episode

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago. He was big and strong and didn’t actually live that long ago?

In our 78th episode, Sierra spins the terrifying tale of Grigori Rasputin, while Colin visits yet another liminal space. You’ll hear about EpiPen trauma, the art of helicoptering, and maybe learn how to get hot babes.
