We're off these last two weeks of August but didn't want to leave you stranded, so dig into some unedited conversation about all sorts of things!

In this episode: Horse Sex with Loki, Knife Gardening and CAFE DELIGHTS!

The Cheese and The Worms

I like the unedited episode format, guys. I want to reinforce an important point about Chad’s move- it would work because your income may not change. To those who feel like they have to move from a bigger city to some place cheaper and want to find a job here- don’t count on it. My rent sounds laughably low to people in LA or NYC, the catch is that it’s still half of my monthly income because the jobs out here don’t pay. I’ve seen it come up a lot online and figured I’d throw in my caveat

No no, Chris! You were relaying Norse myth so well until you said Sleipnir is Odin's grandson! Loki and Thor are only brothers in *Marvel.* In the actual myths, Loki gets away with so much crap because he's Odin's sworn brother. Basically, best buddies that have formally become "brothers" in a non-genetic sense. But yeah, mythic Loki is gender fluid and pansexual. If I recall correctly, there's a bit in the Poetic Edda where Odin and Tyr get drunk and start busting Loki's balls because they know he's been secretly visiting Midgard in the form of a busty milkmaid to get some mortal strange.

Also, on the subject of bad teeth, as someone *with* bad teeth I can give you the primary reason most people don't keep up with the dentist: Money. Dentistry is expensive.

I request the audio files from Tillinghast's famous defense of Professor Crabshaw, creator of the alligator dragons from The Day Of The Dragon. (Fool me commented on the wrong show ┐(´ー｀)┌ )

Oh! This, and also a defense of the surgeon who put his friend's brain in the body of an elasmosaur.

Hey, Norse mythology, a topic I can speak on with some authority rather than just making pithy comments. Like (She_Her) Shoggoth Lord said, Loki and Odin were blood brothers, Odin didn't raise him and Loki and Thor were not related at all. The builder in that myth is a giant (also Loki is a giant, and Odin is half giant and Thor is like three-quarters giant, but the giants are still the sworn enemies of the Aesir), and what he wants in payment is Freya, the Vanir goddess of love and beauty and seidr (magic) who may have been Odin's wife (Frigga and Freya may have been the same person, but the Vikings also practiced polygamy), so that price was WAY too high. But Loki said, "Look, its just one giant and his horse. They'll never finish the wall in time, and we can just build the rest ourselves, saving us a ton of work." So they went with Loki's plan. And it backfired, as Chris explained. The giant and his magic horse were days away from finishing and everybody looked at Loki and basically said "Another fine mess you've gotten us into" and that's why he had to go out and become a mare and lure the horse away. And then one horse gestation period later, there's an eight legged horse for Odin to ride. Now, as to Sleipnir himself, according to archaeologist Neil Price, the eight-legged horse is a common motif in shamanic cultures across Siberia and as far away as Japan and India. In Siberia, apparently, the beats on the shamanic drum are supposed to mimic the sounds of an eight-legged animal. These steeds are used to travel between worlds, much as Odin uses Sleipnir. There's a pair of wall hangings found in 1910 in Sweden and dated to the Viking period which depict a number of eight legged horses (four) as well as six-legged elk or deer. Price suggests that these deer may be Sami representations of the same kind of animal (the Sami being contemporaneous shamanic people living near and among the Viking Age Scandinavians, but whose impact upon Scandinavian myth and folklore are not widely discussed). Tl;dr there's a lot of shamanism in Viking mythology and how they practiced magic.

Sorry Chris, but I'm not overly optimistic Loki's declared pansexuality will go anywhere. Of course, I'd be extrememly delighted should they show any boyfriend past or present in the next season, but Disney's legacy in this area is weak at best. Following decades of coded but thoroughly invisible queer characters we get drive-by gayness in a Star Wars and Avengers. I am ready to be surprised, but fully expecting I won't be. If there could be a leap forward in LGBTQ+ rep in the MCU how about getting Kid Loki (and gator Loki too) to find the Young Avengers and finally give Wiccan and Hulkling their due. I know that they've got Wiccan safely too young now in WndaVision world, but there is a literal multiverse of possibilities to play with.

Back on my take on medical issues in the UK. We don’t generally see a gynaecologist unless we are referred for a particular issue. We get smear tests on the NHS every few years (more if considered at risk) and that’s done by your GP or practice nurse. Personally I find eldritch horrors from beyond the stars got nothing on that speculum and lolly stick and cheerful advice to relax. 😬 Had my first smear at 18 and the doctor told me not to worry as they were bound to come up with a better was of doing it soon. I am now 53. Soz for the TMI

Gotta agree with Chad, any sort of mechanical beast is rad! One of my favorite elements of the series Vampire Hunter D is that all the horses seem to be bio-mechanical if not just full on robotic in some way. ...Since it's technically set in a desolate future. And they don't even explain it if you just watch the movies...

Oooh, how about that horse in the opening credits to Westworld!

I expect a lot of people thought that GPS moment in The Office was too stupid to believe but it was probably inspired by 'real' events. I don't know if this is a new urban myth or if it's actually happened, Snopes doesn't seem to have an entry on it, but it's been reported as real a few times. https://theweek.com/articles/464674/8-drivers-who-blindly-followed-gps-into-disaster

The gynecological instruments in Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons would give you nightmares.

Umm.. I think next time skip the filler episodes guys. I know you feel a responsibility to your Patreon supporters, but seriously if you need a break, just take a break. We'll understand. Go take a month off and come back refreshed, we'll all still be here I promise.

For the record Chad, I never assumed you were being foolish for comedic effect, I've thought you were a malicious pathological liar for the duration of the show

Honestly really enjoyed these episodes. Was a great change of pace.

I enjoyed hanging out with you two gents for a couple of episodes. I more than understand needing to dial things back for a bit.

Hello guys, first time commenting because I'm both finally caught up AND I (hopefully) have something interesting and topical to bring to the table. On the topic of the legend of the "adjustable horse", there's a festival held every 10 years since the 14th century or before in Dendermonde, a town in Flanders not far from where I live. Each time the festival is held, a giant horse called the Ros Beiaard (Bayard, as you said, in French) measuring almost 6 metres in height and weighing about 800 kilos gets paraded through the town. On top of the giant are seated 4 brothers, in accordance to the legend, who are selected by these quite stern criteria: - They must be four consecutive brothers, with no sister born in between - They must all be born in Dendermonde - Their parents AND grandparents must also be born in Dendermonde - They must be between the ages of 7 and 21 on the day of the festival - They must also be living inside the area of Dendermonde There's a lot more to this (like the brothers being trained by a physiotherapist for months before the festival, in preparation for sitting on the absurdly wide horse for hours on end), but I don't want to look back at my comment afterwards and see a overly-long lecture. In that effort, I've compiled the basics and some more interesting aspects into a document, for you to be able to mention whatever you feel is worth mentioning: https://pastebin.com/z1XKm81Q Also, some images! https://imgur.com/a/ZfiKI1T

It’s been so good hearing these episodes of “Chris & Chad just hang”! While house-sitting for Chris during his holiday (he didn’t ask, it’s just a complimentary service I provide) I’ve been catching up on the podcast and the recent shows rang so many bells for me. As a kid I had Paul Smith’s “The Book of Nasty Legends”. I loved it so much I’d read it again and again and enjoyed telling my friends these tall tales, always selling them as true stories of course. My other half has just started watching all of The Golden Girls, for the first time, from the very beginning, while I’ve seen them all before (they were my guilty pleasure as a student). So now, as fans of RWST, we’re eagerly awaiting Chris’s new podcast Rachel Watches The Golden Girls! Keep up the creepin’ & peepin’ guys! PS- Just in case Chris was robbed after all, I was kidding about the house-sitting. I’ve been in Cornwall for ten days fighting water. I have witnesses.

If someone’s up on a roof, why are they asking to be tied to something secure on the ground for safety? Is it to stop them from falling even further into a hole in the ground? Is it just in case gravity suddenly reverses for anything above ground level, to stop them falling into the sky? Or was the car actually parked on the roof?

Loved just listening to you all talk. It's great to hear and learn about you all as people as well as hearing you all speak about stories. You both are so great and, even if you try and humble about it, you both are so intelligent and knowledgeable about literature.

Knowing Chad's love of medieval art, if I had the money I'd fund an episode where you two try to puzzle out what the hell is going on in "The Garden of Earthly Delights." https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/renaissance-reformation/northern/hieronymus-bosch/a/bosch-the-garden-of-earthly-delights I'm sure you'd have just MINUTES of hilarious discussion. In all seriousness, love these episodes. You two have proved we can listen to you two talk about literally anything. Love the show, love you guys. Excited for future episodes!

Chris, any chance you've been reading Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology? I've just picked it up and gotten to the part about Sleipnir. So far the book is rad!
