It's National Ranking Day! Okay it's not but if we told you that, you'd probably believe it's real because there's essentially a plethora of random National Days EVERY DAY of the year for EVERYTHING. They range from being wholesome to totally obscure to so incredibly niche that you wonder why it got it's own National Day to begin with. That's kind of the beauty and chaos of it all and we are here today to shoutout the strangest/silliest out of the bunch!

Tale as old as time. The stories of mythical creatures have captivated the minds and imaginations of people around the world for centuries. Part of the fascination stems from tapping into deep-seated aspects of human psychology, culture, and our universal desire for meaning and connection. Or maybe another part of the interest for this multifaceted phenomenon simply comes from these creatures just looking cool as hell and have fun stories to go along with it. Either way we felt compelled to dive into this exciting meaty topic. So this week join Tuong and Mythical Podcast Legends Desiree Connors Warmington, Kristine Shadid, and Amanda Parker as they journey through mystical realms and drum up some magic to make a Top 5 Mythical Creatures list.

To me, my X-Men! What's there to say that hasn't already been said about the X-Men? They are easily some of comic books most recognizable teams and for good reason! Not only is it consistently telling quality stories about marginalized groups and discrimination in the form of superheroes, but it also has had a myriad of movies, video games, tv shows, and more! Now the X-Men haven't always had a home run when it comes to it's movies, but with the recent boom of the X-Men '97 TV show we'd be remiss not to talk about all the cool mutants that are in this beloved property.

Our guest in this episode is mustard and smoked-meat wizard Zane Caplansky, founder of Caplanksy's Deli & purveyor of fine mustards. When Nick had the idea of interviewing a chef to discuss the artistic elements of food and cooking, Zane immediately came to mind. As it turns out, the struggles associated with balancing artisanal meats and mustards and attempting to find balance in life are huge. Six-figure-legal-fees huge. And yet, Zane is probably the most optimistic and hopeful guests we've had the pleasure of speaking with - and in the current political climate, that doesn't seem so easy to do, right? So, grab some pickles, dip 'em in some tasty Caplansky mustard & enjoy our journey strugglin' on with Zane Caplanksy.

Some might argue that a mother’s love is the greatest power of all, but in Turning Red, a teenage girl’s boy band obsession will give that love a run for its money - that is, if she can make enough money to afford the concert tickets.
