Welcome back to WyrdLore, our bonus series dedicated to the strange tales, local legends, and folklore that are just too "Wyrd" for the main show.

In this episode, Andy and Craig tackle the classic global folk motif known as "The Endless Tale." We meet a powerful king who offers his beautiful daughter's hand in marriage to any suitor who can tell a story that never ends—though the penalty for failing to entertain is an immediate, rather harsh decapitation.

When a clever poor man steps up to the challenge, he unleashes the ultimate narrative filibuster involving a massive barn, a sky-high supply of corn, and a relentless swarm of singular locusts. As Craig dives into the repetitive rhythm of the legend, Andy finds himself caught in a psychological war of attrition that threatens to trap the entire studio in a permanent loop.
