434: Norse Mythology: The Old Man and the Stick

🐐 Who knew packing so many epic Norse heroes into a single house could have such disastrous consequences?

Not Odin, that's for sure. There's trouble brewing in Valhalla, and there's only one man who knows how to solve it: Skíði, the smartest famous man of our world, Midgard. But, has the world of Midgard changed too much since Odin last looked in on it?

😈 The Creature: Lusca

If you see octopus hands feeling around your boat, you better not toss that empty plastic bottle into the ocean. Probably don't do that anyway, actually. Littering is gross.
