In this episode, Chris and Cody discuss the strange religious phenomena known as stigmata. Listen as Chris shares some history and gives the criteria required to be a stigmatic. Cody talks about his namesake, St. Francis, and the fact his mother wanted Cody to have stigmata. Chris has a very interesting story about a woman whose blood created writings in languages she didn’t know. BS Weekly returns to discuss another strange Spanish tradition (no, not the poo-related Caga Tio). Drinks this week are: St. Francis Cabernet and Cruz Garcia Reál Sangria.
