151. Your Tallest, Mustachioed Girlfriend (the most popular girl at the party)

Welcome back, friend! On this episode, we're taking a break from talking to the invisible king to bring you two tales of women in love! Janey's going to introduce us to one of the best New Orleans folk legends around, and Max is going to tell us all about a woman who is cursed to be ugly, but may  have a secret skill that will make her the most popular girl at the party... who knows? 

Enjoy!
