Welcome, friends, to our second ranking episode! Speaking of friends, it’s back to St. Gall for to meet Notker’s bestest buddy in the whole Universe, Tuotilo! Join us as we put their friendship to the ultimate test to find out who’s the real maestro of St. Gall! With special cameos by some of America’s most beloved politicians and a random shot of UK drill rap thrown in for good measure, the zaniness is fully on tap this time ‘round! Plus, there’s a leprechaun.
