EP 178: Nigeria- The Head, Ole and the Ants, The Boa Constrictor

In the first story, the main character learns that you need every part of your body to get ahead. 

And in the second story, a lazy old man gets high to be able to see what his neighbors are up to, but he loses everything to the ants. 

And in the final story, a mighty hunter uses magic to turn into a boa, but when his spell is broken, he might never be able to change back.
