## Resource

This week, Carter dives into some recent viewing (Scrooge, Narnia, Sea Beast) and Scott shares tales of a germy Santa and a trip to the mall. We cover the week's game (Split Fiction) and read listener mail, including a comment about Scott's supposed man-crush and a hilarious story about confusing a balaclava with baklava (the "face pastry"). Finally, we explore the deep history of the Noah flood myth, revealing its true origins in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh and discussing the real-world geological event (the flooding of the Persian Gulf) that inspired it. And loads more! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
