Summary
Who the hell is Saint Patrick? In honor of the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day, we thought we should do a deep-dive on the guy who started it all. Join Erin and Evan as we discuss visions of scrolls from God, Irish pirates, and whether or not Patrick actually drove all the snakes out of Ireland. You’ll also hear about Cellar demons, nipple licking, and cave entrances to Purgatory in this shocking, saintly exploration!
