91: Episode 91 - CURSES! Literally.

Drunk Mythology Gals

Curses are the Hallmark cards of the ancient world. There's one for every occasion. To celebrate NOT Valentine's Day, we're exploring how the ancients used to sh*t-posting about their exes.
And yes, this was originally supposed to come out on Valentine's Day, but I was at the transplant clinic for my treatment, and it just didn't happen. But since it's an anti-love episode, I'm just gonna claim this was my plan all along. WHATEVER! I DO WHAT I WANT!
