Here we are AGAIN!! And let us tell you … one god or another (MARDUK, IS IT YOU??) did not want this recording to occur, but we persevered! You’re welcome?? Esther was only slightly present in mind and body thanks to THE LAG OF JETS from her recent travels, but thankfully Kristin was there to steer us all straight into the loving arms of … YOU’LL SEE. Here you’ll find our second ever duel (Creation Myths!) featuring a sacrificial muskrat versus a Salty Mama with a side of Double God. Listen for the moment where jet-lagged Esther almost collapses under the weight of the Sumerian retelling (“Is … Earth here yet?”). Other nuggets: we provide some free (for now! WINK) advice to the otherwise-perfect Tom Hanks, Kristin recklessly invents a new guest star for our night terrors (“It’s the American way!”), and Esther does not tell you as much about her cross-country trip so much as she tries, kinda fruitlessly, to describe how red-eye flights work. Takeaway quote: “Toby take the wheel!” Take home question: How much demented mucus does it take for one’s system to push out a mighty storm demon? Highlights: + Some real fun terrible adult conversations: Surprise dental work! + TAXES! The Chicago city sticker system being a huge racket! Donkey Kong ruining cars with bananas and driving Kristin out of the midwest! + Did we forget to introduce ourselves? Is anyone on this podcast named Rhonda? + Praise be to the sacrificial muskrat! And his tiny mud-filled paw! + “I feel like it’s going to have corn in it” Always applicable, always appropriate + DAAAAAAMN, Kina! Kingu, king-WHO? + #JUSTICEFORTIAMAT + This may be the first mention of MONOBRAIN, but is definitely not the last
