E034-2025 TheBullshit Show - Apple Trees, Drunk Queens, and European Insanity

In this scorching episode of The Bullshit Show, Ray tears into the revival of wassailing - an ancient English tradition where people sing to apple trees and perform bizarre rituals for a good harvest. Through his signature acidic lens, Ray examines how this medieval practice's comeback reflects broader issues in modern European society, blending ancient superstitions with contemporary commerce. The episode features a particularly pointed critique of how traditional practices are being repackaged for modern consumption, complete with an illuminating anecdote about bureaucratic absurdity from Ray's banking days. A must-listen for anyone interested in cultural criticism, societal trends, and the intersection of ancient traditions with modern life.This episode Writers: Ray Di Marzio   If you want to reach out to suggest new bullshit for us to tear apart, share your experiences with human stupidity, or just tell me what an asshole I am - hey, I take compliments too! - you can write to us at [email protected]  Any unauthorized reproduction will be treated with the same respect I have for influencers selling miracle supplements - that's zero!  All Rights Reserved; All Bullshit Debunked! https://x.com/bullshitXshow
