5.01 Poseidon’s Kiss

Episode Summary

Poseidon’s Kiss was invited to a Corpus Christi trail in 2018 by Bon Fluffer and immediately recognized the outrageous songs, irreverent humor, and welcoming pack as his kind of community. Six months of explaining modern slang to older hashers eventually supplied his name, while Ranger Smurf taught him the history and four essentials he associates with hashing: trail, circle, camaraderie, and beer.

He describes becoming RA and GM, helping bridge generational divisions among the Corpus Christi kennels, and creating a deliberately reckless but socially vital outlet during COVID. The episode also follows his discovery of larger Texas events and the Mr. Texas Interhash competition, while emphasizing inclusion, spontaneous hospitality, and the friendships that made a relatively new hasher a passionate defender of traditional hash culture.
