Monk Banana Boats, Giant Mystery Pipes & Don’t Share Vapes | S2E3 (#38)

This week we talk dodgy podcast ratings, nuisance streamers in Asia, and a run of genuinely bizarre stories involving Thai “Death Fest,” monks on banana boats, a giant mystery pipe and a flaming baked potato van tearing through Japan. We also debut a new feature: "Are You In or Are You Out?" and finish with vape warnings, hand-dryer propaganda and a proper rant about paper straws.
