In this Halloween episode, Cody and Chris go all OG and dive into witches, and it’s super fascinating. First, Cody talks about Mother Shipton, the female Nostradamus who could cause chamber pots to empty on men’s heads. Then, Chris shares a story (from an old book he loved) about a man who takes flight with some naked witches. Next, Cody discusses the witches of Abiquiu, New Mexico, which turned into the last known witch trials in North America. Finally, Chris talks about the witches of Trasmos, the one region of Spain excommunicated by the Catholic Church for witchcraft. Creep of the Week is an amazing witchy story by Lern. Drinks this week are Wicked Cranberry Cider and a Chris original.
