1:08:00

Look, we have nothing against Whales but we keep doing these episodes anyways. This time it's Saint David under our snarky microscope adn we talk about him and a ton of other stuff too. Honestly, the Welsh have no reason to get mad at us because we actually have so many asides we hardly have any time to talk badly about their, um, country? I guess?…

5M ago1:04:36

1:04:36

We start off strong with a cool name and then it’s all downhill from there as we talk about the life and times of Saint Pelagia the Harlot. A crowd of people looking at her ass (by which we mean donkey) leads to a nosey bishop making her feel bad for selling her ass (by which we mean her ass) and then it’s all fake eunuchs and eating disorders unti…

Blessed Mark Barkworth - 27 February 51:22

1y ago51:22

51:22

If there's one thing we learn from the life of Blessed Mark Barkworth it’s when to get out of England. It’s a lesson he didn’t learn himself but along the way he became a priest and enemy of the state (thanks to the Pope), gets some useless pseudonyms, and becomes a horrible cellmate. Plus, Anna gets a miraculous gift to help with her recovery and …

Hey Look at that, we're back again! After a brief hiatus for health reasons were back at it with the life of England's own Saint Edward the Confessor.

1y ago1:10:08

1:10:08

Note: This one is out of order due to an upload mix-up. Hope you still enjoy it After subjecting Anna to several end of the world myths, this month Matthew swings in the other direction with the Chinese creation myth of Pangu (probably the coolest dude we've covered since Enkidu). It's got giant eggs, hairy giants, questionable axes and so much mor…

Saint Notburga– 13 September 1:00:32

1:00:32

Saint Notburga was a nice lady who helped the poor, blah, blah blah,basic saint stuff. What I really want to talk to you about is this: Do not eatwood. We at Sait Misbehavn’ cannot say this strongly enough. It is our official position that eating wood is bad for the human body as our digestive tacks are not designed to process wood for nutrients. P…
