148 – The Right to Bear Arms

This week, we learn all about one of the celebrated heroes of the Polish Army during WWII [who just so happened to be a nearly 500-lb bear...]. Lauren tells us the fascinating story of one of history's greatest mascots, and later gives us a quiz about the wonderful weirdness of MLB mascots! . . .
