07/02/2017 Duração: 53minWe're back on schedule following a hectic two weeks or so, and we have a pretty involved theory about this main character's backstory as a cryptid egg/football player whose career went awry.

Episode 98: The Shaun White Mystery Machine: The Snow Queen Part I
13/12/2016 Duração: 56minWe have endeavored on a two-parter, so buckle in for a meatier story. We're reading "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen, which is the source material for Disney's Frozen. We don't usually tread so close to Disney territory, but there are reasons for this one. And suffice to say that Disney goofed up pretty hard when deciding on what material to use. Suggested talking points: kinda opus, a cheerful demon, the spinach mirror, modern day witch covens, dire frats, 2 Bad Shardz, medieval skitchin', saying your nightly multiplication tables, double evil, evil married If you like our show, find us online to help spread the word!

Episode 97: Farewell, Mr. Potato King?
06/12/2016 Duração: 01h12minThis protagonist ranks in pretty high on the "worst heroes" list, complete with a circuitous journey that ultimately doesn't lead to much. But he does reconstruct a sausage with his colon (we think) so that's fun. Our story this week is "Thumbling as Journeyman." Suggested talking points: Avian bone syndrome fact-checking, an honest Kraftsman, the first Yelp app, chalkboard mines, a bad robbery plan, slaughter by punching, sausage bladder, ancient vore, potato recipes, the value of a kreuzer coin, farmer advice, a zebra cake chicken, an exploration of the fetishes If you like our show, find us online to help spread the word!
