Listen to the Episode Here!
To those who survived the Halloween special, welcome back, we salute you. This week on TLT, Ali discusses donkey storage feasibility, Zaki befriends djinns as he takes us down a road with headless saints, and Zaeem reminds us (incessantly and annoyingly) that we are very much in Jordan, which happens to have a capital called Amman.
Random Rubbish
Eggs

EDIT: Zaeem, why the hell is there a Wikipedia link for eggs? People know what eggs are. — Ali and Zaki
EDIT 2: Actually, I just read through it. Did you know that the bee hummingbird produces the smallest known bird egg? — Zaki
EDIT 3: THIS IS A TRAVEL BLOG, NOT AN EGG BLOG. TALK ABOUT TRAVEL THINGS. — Ali
