    4.08 Murphy’s by Run2Eat

    Episode Summary

    Murphys recounts discovering Swansea Jack Hash in Wales around 2006 and becoming part of its friendly, eccentric community. His preferred name, “Minute to Six,” referred to Guinness being founded in 1759, but the naming circle chose the rival stout instead—leaving him permanently known as Murphys.

    Interviewed by Run2Eat, he talks about early trails, campouts, UK Nash Hash in Perth, away weekends, songs, dogs, recruitment through Meetup and Facebook, and the practical work of keeping a local club visible. The result is an affectionate snapshot of modern Welsh hashing, where the trail matters, but belonging, humor, and the willingness to help organize are what keep people returning.

    4.07 Alfred Kurt Zuber (AKU)

    Episode Summary

    Alfred Zuber reaches back to the early 1970s, when he hashed in Persia and helped establish Isfahan Hash with support from Tehran. He remembers a period when new clubs were spread by mobile expatriates carrying drawings, songs, trail practices, and a direct lineage from one city to the next.

    Political upheaval ended that chapter after the Shah’s departure and the 1979 revolution, but not Zuber’s involvement. He later founded Frankfurt Hash and continued hashing through other overseas assignments, including Korea. This short historical conversation captures how fragile early clubs could be—and how individual hashers helped the movement leap across borders and survive dramatic changes in place and politics.

  • 4.06 Bronco Buster

    4.06 Bronco Buster

    Episode Summary

    Bronco Buster’s first hash was on July 4, 1986, in Mexico City, where the trail memorably passed through a newly opened McDonald’s. After a long gap, she returned to hashing in Nairobi in 1998 and later became deeply involved in Washington, D.C., Cambodia, and an international circuit of hashes and red-dress events.

    She discusses the origin of her name, transport and trail challenges in East Africa, D.C.’s crowded event calendar, and the changing scale of Interhash and continental gatherings. The episode closes with her firsthand role in launching a Red Dress Run in Phnom Penh and a thoughtful defense of the tradition’s best qualities: spectacle, charity, friendship, and a welcoming excuse to bring very different hash communities together.

  • 4.05 Blind Doug Part 2

    4.05 Blind Doug Part 2

    Episode Summary

    Blind Doug explains the theatrical origin of his name: during Jakarta Hash’s “Pleasure Island” thrash, he played a lookout wearing two eye patches and emerged as Blind Doug. From there, the conversation widens into the social institutions surrounding Jakarta hashing, including expatriate clubs, national celebrations, songs, and the distinctive event culture of Indonesia.

    He shares stories from AIR, the 2016 Jakarta Interhash, regional gatherings, family travel, and hashes across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Candid anecdotes about police, powder scares, inappropriate names, event organization, and recurring international characters make this a lively portrait of how a local hash identity can grow into decades of worldwide friendships.

    4.04 Blind Doug Part 1

    Episode Summary

    Blind Doug first heard about hashing in Aberdeen through JC, but his first actual trail came with the Jakarta Harriettes in 1991. He describes arriving in one of the world’s great hashing cities, where multiple clubs, printed directions, yearbooks, large packs, and a highly social expatriate scene made hashing part of everyday life.

    The episode follows his move from newcomer to committed traveler and hare, including memorable terrain, local logistics, and the friendships that connected Jakarta to later hashes and events. He also reflects on ball-breaker trails, European weekends, New Zealand and Australian Nash Hashes, and the freedom that came when work finally allowed him to pursue far more of the hash calendar.

    4.03 Danny Dutch

    Episode Summary

    Danny Dutch offers a rare childhood view of Jakarta hashing in the 1980s. As the son of a Foreign Service family, he joined his father and brother on trails during school holidays, remembering three-legged routes, tropical terrain, beer-soaked expatriate gatherings, yearbooks, and a community large enough to host an Interhash.

    He also recalls how quickly Indonesia’s landscape could change, including a trail area erased by deforestation. Although he did not become a lifelong weekly hasher, his memories preserve the atmosphere, people, and customs of a celebrated period in Jakarta’s history—and show how hashing looked to a young participant growing up inside an international diplomatic community.

    4.02 Big Mac Part 2

    Episode Summary

    Part two resumes Big Mac’s international story with the practical realities of hashing overseas: encounters with authorities, finding beer and sponsors, organizing events, and keeping small expatriate clubs alive. He reflects on later postings, regional gatherings, and the web of hash contacts that made each new country feel familiar.

    After retiring in 2003 to the hills near Málaga, he joined Mijas Hash—only to be drawn back into overseas work because of his experience in India and Bangladesh. The conversation follows his continuing travels, Iberian and Irish Nash Hashes, friendships across Britain and Europe, and the pleasures of remaining useful to the hash long after a formal career ends.

    4.01 Big Mac Part 1

    Episode Summary

    Big Mac traces his hashing life back to Surrey Hash in 1976, when a Shell posting brought him to London and the club was approaching its hundredth run. He recalls an era before hash names became standard, with paper directions, traditional running packs, and a close-knit expatriate and business community shaping the early UK scene.

    His career then carried him through a succession of countries and clubs, including assignments in Latin America and Africa. Along the way he describes helping hashes survive, organizing social weekends, adapting traditions to local conditions, and building friendships that endured across postings—an expansive first chapter in nearly five decades of hashing.

    3.37 Megasaurarse

    Episode Summary

    MegaSaurAss first sampled hashing as a teenager with Surrey and Aberdeen, but her true baptism came at the 1994 Rotorua Interhash. Arriving in New Zealand, she was placed in a Scottish mini-kilt and sent aboard the legendary hash train. Repeatedly missing her seat during the conga left a conspicuous bruise, noticed later at the Guernsey Boy Cocktail Party, where she received the name MegaSaurAss.

    She subsequently joined Sydney Harriettes, completed 50 runs in her first year and quickly became On-Sec and RA. After returning to Scotland, she developed into an experienced international RA, hare and event organizer. Much of the conversation explores Bras and Pants, the brewery-running institution founded by Oral Sex. As joint GM, MegaSaurAss has helped bring its clothing-over-clothing tradition to EuroHashes, UK Nash Hashes and international events. She recalls lost car keys, lethal moonshine, missing corkscrews and other logistical disasters, while discussing charity fundraising, event size, inclusive trails and a hashing life built around constant travel.

  • 3.36 Tooth Fairy

    3.36 Tooth Fairy

    Episode Summary

    Tooth Fairy was a Division I runner and career Navy officer when a fellow runner invited him to Samurai H3 in Japan in 1993. His first night trail through Yokohama combined competitive running, beer and a welcoming mix of Japanese and expatriate hashers. He returned the following week, partied across Tokyo and knew he had found an ideal community. His job as administrator of a Navy dental command produced the comparatively clean name “Tooth Fairy.”

    His 30-year naval career took him through Samurai, San Antonio and the many Washington, D.C., kennels. He became a GM and RA, served on White House, Full Moon and Red Dress mismanagement and helped create demanding trails such as Japan’s Ho Chi Minh Trail. Tooth Fairy recalls subway-related flour scares, DC’s “Black Monday,” elaborate beer miles and meeting his wife, Slurpee, through hashing. He also reflects on leadership, clever naming, military-style organization, changing communications and enjoying a new phase of retirement and travel hashing.
