The noble tradition of getting Random Encounters to read stories with us continues! Having just wrapped shooting of Your Happy Ending the night before, we awake at the crack of 2pm to read a collection of five very short stories with varying themes of quirky horror and a bit of NoSleep energy.

Stories submitted by shortstory1 Read along below:
1. “Hello I would like to order a pizza”
2. “I regret turning an Instagram tiktok influencer into a vampire”
3. “I am going to allow my son to be weird for 12 hours instead of just 1 hour”
4. “Donate to my charity guys”
5. “My mother is still scared of the dark”

Originally a Patreon exclusive, this special episode contains the prototype that eventually led to Undercooked Analysis. Recorded way back in March of 2014, this impromptu session has David and friends Ben Spiegel, Sean Holt, Ty Lucas and Kyle Duncan reading through "Jeff the Killer," and stumbling over what UCA originally tried to do: understand what it is that made this story and its namesake character so popular in the wider Creepypasta mythos.

Opening with some theocratic discussion (sacrilege may vary), David, Kaela, Seid and Papreeka find their cold open was more on theme then they anticipated, as they read a story about an old tree and a struggle with identity.

It's the 100th episode since UCA moved to Creative Horror, and the gang's all here to take another look at everyone's favorite ominous unknown killer - this time with the story run through Google Translate a few times. Will it be a marked improvement?

Kaela, Ben, Kylie and Eli connect link cables and discuss a submitted work of good old-fashioned PokePasta, this being a tragic tale of eggs gone awry.

A New Year’s Day story in April? Sure, why not? It’s UCA and anything goes when David, Kaela, Allen and Seid get together. In addition to this story of self-reflection, Allen presents a new recurring challenge to the other hosts…

It’s time for David to get some of what he dishes out. Kaela, Seid and Papreeka take a story written for a writing challenge and put it to their own form of scrutiny, while also providing some helpful PSAs along the way.

Allen has something important to share with our listeners about a change in the show’s format.

An unsettling anecdote about a pirated broadcast, interspersed with Pokemon questions from David, Kaela and Abysmii? Yep, it’s another episode of Undercooked Analysis.
