The Hot Tub at the Vatican Grotto

Ep. 38
•

For the second week in a row, we've had a bit of a whoopsie: the audio for the 1977 episode didn't record properly, so -- with the consent of the RNG -- we've entered a time vortex and are releasing the next episode, which is the year 1686. To be fair, we never claimed to know what we were doing...


In this episode, we cover the year 1686 and all it entails, including: Moustachioed babies, copper lumps, a tax in order to die, an alternate career path for Ant’s mum, the enemy of my enemy of my enemy, the club promoters of Augsburg, and far too much cranking. 


Topics Discussed: Queen Christina of Sweden, the League of Augsburg, and the Kingdom of Dahomey.
