    5.22 Laid Bird

    Episode Summary

    Laid Bird learned about hashing after Stockholm hashers handed out beer near the finish of a midnight 10K. She joined on October 17, 2007, ran to the start without realizing a hash car held dry clothes, and needed two cold, wet outings to master the logistics. The welcoming thirty-person pack felt like a family she had been missing.

    Hashing soon led her from casual racing to an improvised, barely trained Stockholm Marathon, then into Eurohash, UK Nash Hash, and extensive travel. She has served as RA, hash cash, and GM, guiding a club that shifted from almost all runners to a roughly even mix of runners and walkers. She discusses naming, live trails, COVID transit hashes, international friendships, public encounters, and the continuing challenge of attracting younger members without losing the social heart of Stockholm Hash.

    5.21 Thanks for The Mammaries-IAH2027 Bid

    Episode Summary

    Thanks for the Mammaries presents Central Florida’s bid to host InterAmericas Hash 2027 in Orlando. An Orlando hasher since 1999, veteran of multiple InterAmericas gatherings, former long-term mismanagement member, and recipient of 500-run and 75-hare honors, she leads a committee representing several area kennels rather than a single club.

    This focused event episode explains why the group wants to revive a continental gathering absent since 2019 and how it plans to avoid previous organizational failures. Topics include an LLC, multiple account signers, professional bookkeeping, financial transparency, inflation, hotel food-and-beverage restrictions, off-site venues, buses, trails, registration transfers, insurance, and a charitable Red Dress Run. The bid is framed both as an Orlando proposal and a call for healthier succession planning across InterAmericas.

    5.20 SpeedWanker

    Episode Summary

    Speed Wanker’s first hash came through a chance encounter while covering paintball in Penang, Malaysia. He accepted a stranger’s address, followed the group into the jungle, and spent the next few days exploring with new friends. Years later in Portland, Maine, he misread a “pie rat” theme as “pirate,” arrived in full costume, and knew the pack’s elaborate joke meant he had found his people.

    The episode centers on his novel “Hash 207,” begun roughly eleven years earlier and finally published in 2025. He explains how hashing becomes an ordinary part of the characters’ lives rather than an exotic subject, the long drafting and revision process, and the choices involved in publishing and promoting a niche novel. Personal stories, Portland kennel culture, creativity, and community illuminate the real experiences behind the fiction.

    Episode Summary

    Pillsbury reluctantly joined Calgary Hash in 1985 to please a girlfriend newly returned from Sierra Leone, only to discover that the supposed running club was exactly his kind of social activity. The young kennel had been founded by oil-industry returnees from Southeast Asia and could attract its biggest crowds in temperatures below minus thirty. Barry Dough became Pillsbury Doughboy, later shortened to Pills or Pillsbury.

    After moving to Malaysia, he served as GM and ultimately became Mother Hash’s official historian. The episode examines membership limits, trail funding, leadership, surviving documents from founders such as Frank Woodward, debates over the 1938–39 origin, inaccurate retellings, and the new Hash Heritage site and clubhouse. Pillsbury combines archival evidence with practical knowledge of how Mother Hash operates today, offering one of the season’s most detailed historical interviews.

  • 5.18 Sir Songman

    5.18 Sir Songman

    Episode Summary

    Sir Songman began with Jakarta’s Monday men’s hash in 1978, when expatriates found run information on supermarket notices and the city still offered very different terrain. Early singers, including Penguin and other memorable characters, introduced him to the strong musical culture for which Jakarta hashing became famous. Later postings carried him through Bandung, China, Hanoi, Europe, and beyond.

    Known first as Peter the singer, he became Songman in China and eventually Sir Songman after receiving a real knighthood. He reflects on songs, circles, long trails, mixed and single-sex kennels, event travel, changing communications, walkers, and the challenge of keeping older members included. Still active in the Netherlands, he argues that a lively circle and a double-entendre name can preserve fun without relying on cruelty or vulgarity.

    5.17 ShitCocky Noodles

    Episode Summary

    Shitcocky Noodles arrived at a Tucson hash in October 2017 dressed head-to-toe as a cup of ramen. The kennel happened to run its program in reverse that day—naming, circle, then a token trail—so his second outing was needed to learn what a normal hash looked like. The humor, camaraderie, and immediate sense of belonging nevertheless hooked him at once.

    He quickly moved into GM and RA roles, became a dedicated event traveler, and embraced Tucson’s distinctive checks, costumes, and desert culture. An ulcer eventually forced him to stop drinking, but he found that sobriety improved his RA work without reducing his enthusiasm or appetite for spectacle. He discusses Tex-Mex, Phoenix Red Dress, crash space, patches, ramen fashion, and how hashing gave a restless young adult both a home and a worldwide route for exploration.

    5.16 Thunder Thighs – by Run2Eat

    Episode Summary

    Thunder Thighs began with London Hash on Hampstead Heath on September 6, 1978, when the club was only two years old and hash names were uncommon. As overseas visitors arrived with names, she chose her own—an obvious joke about her strong legs—and became part of London’s transition from a male-oriented expatriate tradition to a more inclusive modern community.

    Recorded at UK Nash Hash 2025, she recalls early travel, founding a short-lived Harriettes kennel, favorite smaller events, injuries in Kraków and England, memorabilia, and decades of friendships. She dislikes mega-events, needlessly vulgar songs, and ceremonies that overshadow true hare-and-hounds trail, preferring camaraderie and socialization. Her account also tracks how newsletters, Facebook, and WhatsApp changed recruitment and how COVID unexpectedly produced new London kennels.

    5.15 The DFL Anal Corn

    Episode Summary

    DFL Anal Corn discovered Eugene Hash in 2014 while studying journalism at the University of Oregon. A friend promised people running around a park drinking beer; the small, close-knit, “hippie” kennel gave him a community he had not found elsewhere. A larger Portland toga hash then revealed the scale, songs, and theatrical energy possible beyond Eugene.

    Returning to his hometown, he founded the Salem Hash and became its GM and president-for-life, building an eight-year club through personal money, labor, social media, and persistent recruitment. He speaks openly about naming, leadership conflicts, race, politics, COVID isolation, online visibility, and the emotional cost of keeping a small kennel alive. His journalism instincts and enormous Facebook network have also made him an informal chronicler and connector across the wider hash world.

    5.14 Tight Lips

    Episode Summary

    Tight Lips ran her first trail while deployed to Baghdad in January 2005, accepting a colleague’s invitation because there was little else to do on a free afternoon. Back in the United States she joined Harrisburg-Hershey Hash, where several failed naming attempts ended with an apt reference to her Army intelligence career: Tight Lips.

    Her subsequent service and travel produced hashes across countries, continents, and major events, while retirement opened an even busier itinerary. She discusses live trails, GM duties in North Carolina, charity red-dress runs, crash space, event sizes, injuries, family-friendly kennels, and the practical generosity of traveling hashers. Only late in the conversation does her professional rank emerge: she retired as a three-star lieutenant general and former head of the U.S. Army Reserve, making the hash’s rank-free fellowship especially meaningful.

  • 5.13 Pope by Run2Eat

    5.13 Pope by Run2Eat

    Episode Summary

    Pope can date his first London Hash precisely: July 28, 1984, from the Green Man in Kingsbury. A magazine article led the shy young professional to a social athletic club where older members treated him as an equal. On an early away weekend, an RA repeatedly called Paul “John,” producing the simple progression John Paul—Pope.

    Four decades of hashing brought a wife, stress relief, extensive European and Asian travel, memorable Interhashes, trails, songs, and occasional encounters with police and public suspicion of flour. Pope weighs large versus small events, single-sex traditions, changing names and songs, aging membership, and the need to welcome younger generations without abandoning the humor and equality that first attracted him. He remains active in UK events, hared trails, and red-dress gatherings.
