Summary

Quite possibly the last episode on Norse mythology before we start on the epic showdown that is Ragnarok, this story has Thor earning a ridiculous facial feature and wetting himself in terror. Also, you shouldn't follow Loki into the wilderness, no matter how good the party he is telling you about sounds, and we'll learn how far is too far when it comes to idle, drunken boasts in the halls of the gods. The creature is a sweet little flaming chicken who will steal for you and not feel bad about it at all. Oh, you have some moral issues with stealing? Well, the flaming chicken doesn't have moral issues with burning your house to the ground, so you might want to keep your compunctions to yourself.

0:00.0	This week, on the Myths and Legends podcast, we're back in Norse mythology,
0:04.1	and we'll learn of one of Thor's facial features that will never make it into any Marvel movie,
0:10.1	and the one enemy that might be Thor faced that made him wet himself with terror.
