Seth shares a list of urban legends with Andrew, and the two put their heads together to determine which ones are the scariest, the most plausible, and the most likely to make them change the way they interact with the world. Samples include an ankle-slashing car jacker, a mischievous troupe of Icelandic trolls, and a mysterious "Baby Train." We also uncover some startling truths about the hiring decisions of one "Saint" Nicholas.
And we do another "Review Review!" Don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
You can also send us mail to be read (and made fun of) on the show!!
