In this laugh-out-loud episode of Tales of Bedlam, your hosts Micah (Knob Twister) and Dustin (Sofa Sitter) bring you a cheeky and charming retelling of the Brothers Grimm classic Dr. Know-All.

When a simple peasant named Crabb decides to become a doctor—armed with an ABC book (with a rooster on the cover), a new sign, and a whole lot of luck—he accidentally becomes a legend by solving a robbery through sheer stupidity and coincidental timing.

Along the way, Micah and Dustin spiral into hilarious tangents about reflex hammers, leeches, neon headgear, and the eternal search for a certain illustrated rooster. Expect crabs, confusion, and comedy gold.

This episode is perfect for fairy tale lovers with a twisted sense of humor. It delivers a heavy dose of satire and good-natured nonsense.

In this Random Tales bonus episode of Tales of Bedlam, Siri rolls the dice (well, picks a number), landing Dustin and Micah in the middle of The Star Money—a brief but baffling tale of pure generosity, utter destitution, and a cosmic cash shower.

A little girl gives away all she owns—her bread, her clothes, even her last shirt—only to be rewarded by the heavens with linen robes and falling coins. But the hosts aren’t convinced. Is this really how karma works? Or are Grimm tales just a fever dream with a moral tacked on?

Expect laughs, confusion, unexpected nudity (in theory), and a classic Bedlam-style breakdown of one of the Brothers Grimm’s shortest and most surreal stories.

In this hilariously offbeat episode of Tales of Bedlam, Micah and Dustin tackle the surreal world of The Seven Ravens by the Brothers Grimm. From a father who curses his sons into birds over spilled baptism water, to a sister's journey that involves cosmic chairs, celestial judgment, and unlocking a glass mountain with a chicken drumstick (yes, really), nothing about this tale makes sense—and that's exactly why we love it.

Join us as we roast the logic of magical transformations, debate the ethics of fairy tale parenting, and speculate on whether chicken wings might just be the universal skeleton key of the fairy tale realm. It's equal parts folklore and farce, with the irreverent humor you've come to expect from Tales of Bedlam.

Whether you're a fairy tale aficionado or just here for the laughs, this episode will leave you questioning everything—and possibly craving chicken wings.

What happens when a louse falls into an eggshell of beer and everything spirals into absurd catastrophe? 

In this episode of Tales of Bedlam, hosts Micah (Knob Twister) and Dustin (Sofa Sitter) take you on a comedic ride through the bizarre and domino-effect-driven Grimm fairy tale, “The Louse and the Flea.”

From weeping fleas to creaking doors, sweeping brooms, and a water jug apocalypse, the duo dissects the madness with their usual sarcastic flair and off-the-wall banter. Is it a moral tale, or just an old-school German fever dream? You decide.

Perfect for lovers of dark fairy tales, absurd comedy, or just folks who like to hear two grown men crack up over anthropomorphic furniture. Don’t miss Dustin’s impromptu singing either—it’s... memorable.

In this spine-tingling episode of Tales of Bedlam, Micah and Dustin take you on a wild ride through an ancient Greek fairy tale—The Seven-Headed Serpent. When a brave king sets sail and lands on a lion-infested island, what follows is a tale of treasure, terror, and a monstrous serpent with a hunger for youth.

This classic story, sourced from Andrew Lang’s fairy tale collections, blends myth, magic, and a disturbingly dark punishment handed down by a seven-headed beast. With signature improv and snappy banter, your hosts deconstruct the strangeness of Greek storytelling—from talking lakes to magical apples and mysterious pregnancies.

Whether you're here for the mythology, the absurdity, or just some good laughs, this episode delivers all three.

This week on Tales of Bedlam, hosts Micah (Knob Twister) and Dustin (Sofa Sitter) dive headlong into a delightful collection of Aesop’s timeless fables—all with one thing in common: donkeys. From the overly ambitious ass trying to be a lapdog to a spongy surprise in a stream, each story brings a moral wrapped in clever wordplay and the duo's signature banter.

Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe cringe a little as these ancient Greek fables are brought to life in a way only Tales of Bedlam can manage. Alongside the humor, the episode cleverly draws out the morals of the stories: humility, hard work, false confidence, and the dangers of taking yourself too seriously.

Perfect for fans of classic tales with a modern (and often ridiculous) twist!

In this outrageous episode of Tales of Bedlam, hosts Micah and Dustin are joined by their equally witty wives (Andrea and Sandy) for a chaotic and comedic retelling of Grimm’s The Three Journeymen. This isn’t your grandma’s bedtime story—unless your grandma likes devil pacts, weird repeating dialogue, and an innkeeper with a murderous streak.

Follow the misadventures of three out-of-work bros who make a deal with a literal devil (yes, hooves and all), agree to only say three bizarre phrases, and somehow get framed for murder despite being the most predictable men on Earth. With plenty of off-script laughs, this episode is a wild ride through folklore with a modern, snarky twist.

If you love dark tales mixed with humor and unfiltered banter, The Three Journeymen delivers big.

In this outrageously bizarre and darkly hilarious episode of Tales of Bedlam, Dustin and Micah (including our better halves Sandy and Andrea) tackle The Man-Eating Wife, a North American fairy tale full of cannibalism, talking dogs, punk transformations, and a flesh-hungry dance party.

As always, we take this strange story and turn it inside out with our trademark banter, bad impressions, off-the-rails side conversations, and unexpected heart. What starts with a spark in the fire quickly spirals into the tale of a woman who literally can’t get enough of herself—until her taste turns toward her husband.

It’s weird. It’s wild. It’s Tales of Bedlam.
