Sword and scale contains adult themes and violence and is not intended for all audiences.

Listener discretion is advised.

What the doctor did find was a large quantity of blood in the boy's abdominal cavity, which was scooped out with a ladle.

500 milliliters of blood were removed.

This is Season 5, Episode 128 of Sword and Scale,

a show that reveals that the worst monsters are real.

This is the second to last episode of the season.

So there will not be any more plus episodes this year.

Instead, we're going to take a break, get a little recharge in, and come back with two plus episodes in January.

But remember, we still have one more episode, episode 129 coming out next week on the Patreon feed and then a week later

on the regular feed. Plus, we have the new project we've been talking about and teasing

and telling all the fans that the meetups about. It's the new project with myself, Jack Luna,

and Tyler Bell that is bound to blow your socks off. I keep saying this. It's the most interesting,

creative, amazing project I've ever worked on. And I think you're going to really like it.

Watch out for that at the beginning of the year. And we will be making an announcement right around

Christmas Eve about this project and letting you know what it's called. In the

meantime, we have our retro Monsters designed shirts restocked in the store ready to go if you want

to give them out as a Christmas present. And remember, you can get store discounts by joining our

Patreon at patreon.com slash monsters.

It costs just five bucks a month and you get extra shows.

There are 40 plus episodes available for download right now.

Plus you get early commercial free access to all regular shows.
