Mr. Worldwide 🗣️🗣️ Mr. 305!

We took a Goblin recommendation for this one! Strap on your flotation devices, keep an eye on the horizon, and prepare yourselves to enter...The Bermuda Triangle!!!

Join TGS as we talk about one of the most notorious regions of sea in the Western Hemisphere. Dozens of vessels from both sea and sky have gone missing in this patch of ocean nestled in the Carribean. Could there be whirlpools, giant squids, MAGNETIC FOG?! *gasp* Make for the lifeboats, fair folk, because it's time for The Goblin Squad!

Also, are we going to explain how Mr. Worldwide (Mr. 305), Sir Ian McKellen, and Victor Vescovo play in to this here in the show notes?? Absolutely not.

We've heard you, we care, and NOW...we've answered. TAROT, GOBS! In this first ever card-themed episode of The Goblin Squad, join Brooke and Sarah as they discuss the origin of the divination and self-discovery tool known as The Tarot.

We talk history, we may slander long gone magical figures (but is it slander...I mean, really?), and we dive into the basics of this beloved and often maligned tool for personal illumination.

Dust off your deck, grab a note pad and prepare yourself because it's time for...THE GOBLIN SQUAD!! (TWENTY NINE)

Also...never forget, while you learn about these topics and ponder over two hours of tarot-y goodness, the key to life is to always Stay Weird!!!

GOBS - This is the first time I have realized I need to do this for an episode so my sincerest apologies if I have upset any of you before this. There is a ***TRIGGER WARNING*** for this ep. We discuss death, human remains, and in some cases, traumatic death of mountaineers all in the context of summiting Mt. Everest. I just wanted to make sure you all had a heads up because it terrifies me so it might terrify you. Love, Sarah

Well, well, well, Gobs...if it isn't the inevitable coming of winter doom after the holiday season. (Actually, we're all incredibly tired after the "holidays" and are secretly glad its all over for another year but shhhhhh, don't tell anyone)

The Goblin Squad is BACK for 2024 and this time we're starting BIG (no yeti puns intended) with Winter Cryptids! We've got the Snow Wasset (cranberry bogs will never look the same...I mean we already knew about the bog spiders...but the WASSET?!?), we've got the yeti (this is the one where you all discover that Sarah was the weird arctic exploration kid...shocker. ), and who could forget THE SQUONK? Oh the sad, sad little squonk.

We are so happy to be back with all of you Gobs for the new year and we can't wait to continue this romp of podcast strangeness with all of you. When you're listening to this and trembling in abject horror over the realities of mountaineering on Mount Everest or looking twice at that sudden depression in a snowbank, never forget, goblins...STAY WEIRD!!!!

EPISODE RESOURCES

Once again, against Sarah's better judgement, here is the link to the show America Unearthed: Tracking Down Bigfoot in Minnesota (S3, E11)

Also, BONUS clip...you may recognize this cast of characters as they check out "the yeti hand" ***spoilers, it's not real and you need to listen to the pod to find out why they aren't looking at the real one...***

It's here...the end of the year is upon us, Goblins! We are ending strong with a conversation about goal setting and goblin well-being. Grab your favorite notebook, make a hot beverage and settle in while we chat about channeling all that new year energy headed your way.

Brooke and Sarah talk about their own personal ways of staying motivated through ongoing seasonal gatherings and winter mental health challenges. Oh yeah...and we talk about a cat in this one.

Remember gobs, staying weird doesn't mean staying stressed.

Gobs!! This week we are joined once again by the glorious, the wise, the Queen of the Donkeys, Miss Sonia Horowitz. She doesn't leave mushroom for error while diving deep into the world of Mycomythology (the focus of folktales and mythological stories surrounding mushrooms and their cultural/historical significances). While we barely scratch the surface in this episode, we take a look at the CIA, ancient frescoes that totally aren't pine trees, The Dead Sea Scrolls, Russian & African Folklore, and so much more! Grab a toadstool and join the Aunts for a sure to be classic ep!

Stay up to date with the lovely Sonia Horowitz and the happenings on ⁠Amanita Acres Here⁠!

Grab your favorite set of dice, print out some super fresh character sheets and join us on-location for this week's episode...LIVE at the Loch! Join Brooke and Sarah from the newest gaming establishment in the Duluth/Superior area, The Loch Cafe and Games. Have you been looking for a reason to get into Dungeons and Dragons? This is the episode for you. We fae-trap a few unsuspecting gamers (spoilers, we actually knew most of them before the episode...except Landon, who is an ABSOLUTE JOY, by the way) and convince them to share their harrowing tales of adventure, intrigue, and drama. We laugh, we cry, we are devasted by the story of Trinket the Wooden Octopus (RIP). And if you're thinking...hmmm, I'm actually not that into Dungeons & Dragons...FEAR NOT. Our nerdom knows no bounds. We talk video games, streaming, online gaming, Yu-gi-oh! (Sarah may or may not admit that she's a Yu-gi-oh! girlie), Magic the Gathering, World of Warcraft, and so much more.

Thank you to Jessica, Madison, Landon, Joel, and Walker for sharing your stories and spilling the piping hot gaming tea. You made this episode possible. Another HUGE THANK YOU to Matt and Erin Glesner (Sarah's bro and Sis-in-law), owners of The Loch Cafe and Games, for letting us record in your space and for always being tireless supporters of the pod from the beginning. We appreciate you so much!

You can keep up with Landon on Youtube Here and via his Twitch handle @ClearCODM

Also, Matt and Sarah both want to shout out our Mom. Ma...thank you for always believing in us so that we can continuously do all the weird stuff that we have consistently done since childhood. Those Godzilla movie marathons, walks in the forest, and encouragement of who we are shaped us. Thank you so so much.

Sarah would also like to shout out her other brother, Tom, who recently spent literal hours attempting to teach Sarah how to play Magic the Gathering after she willfully refused to learn how to play for over 25 years. You are incredibly patient.

You can support The Loch by following them on Instagram as @thelochcafeduluth and on Facebook or you can check out their website and you should ABSOLUTELY check out the Kickstarter for Matt, Tristan, and Cam's graphic novel MUD here . The Kickstarter for this first installment runs until November 11th, 2023!!

For all the gamer goblins out there that feel like they won't find their D&D party or their raid partners, keep the faith, we're out here. And no matter what happens...remember, goblins...STAY WEIRD!!!
