AMT406: Slicing Socks, Polyglot Popes and Stealing Butter

Why do Danes slice up the bride’s veil and the groom’s socks at a wedding? Is it OK to take pats of butter from a cafe? How/when do Popes learn Italian? And what happens if you drop your phone into the toilet at a festival? (Spoiler: nothing good.) Questioneers want to know all these things and more in AMT406.  For more information about this episode, visit answermethispodcast.com/episode406 Got question for us to answer?
