52. A Wit Game is Afoot! (Melk or Be Melked)

On today's episode, Max is going to tell us the most entertaining story ever about a fussy little goblin who can't seem to catch a break! And Janey is going to tell us a Swahili story about a woman verbally gut punching three men over some milk and meat. Enjoy!
