  • Episode 80: The Tale of Foolums Gap

    WARNING MAJOR STRANGER THINGS SPOILERS. If you don't want to find out who's aging backwards, and who is secretly his own father's ghost, don't listen to the first five minutes. We could also be way off base with our theories. Our story this week is another from the Skagit area, deceptively called "The Maiden of Deception Pass." It's not a Western though, we tried. We also tried our best to talk about anything other than this story.

    Suggested talking points: Ancient nerds, sand hand, George Washington's capris, The Goods, mean services, AP handholding, musclefish, fish crime, James Cameron knows, crime costumes, frontstory, flanmouth, whoopsie creek, sudoku stocks

  • Episode 77: Phantom of the Kmart

    We realized that this week's story, boringly titled "Fate," is a perfect Adam Sandler movie, and it reads about as well as you'd expect. To be fair, this is what we get for choosing a story based on a random word in the title which happened to be "boots." So that's on us folks.

    Suggested talking points: Flipjock the Barbersmith, Hissing, Boots, or Ale, Summer Santa, The Other 10%, Simon and Garfunkel and Not Garfunkel, WordWiki, Phantom of the Kmart, Counter-Worm Initiative , Get Ghost Moist!, Cow Roulette, Rye Guys Finish Last, A Happy Maddison Production

  • Episode 76: Farmer Voltron

    This week's story might sound a little bit familiar, and there's a good reason for that. It turns out that back in Ye Olden Times, fairy tale authors were much less litigious and didn't check for plagiarism that often. We're reading "The Story of the Seven Simons."

    Suggested talking points: Castle math, palace building strategies, the Armstrong Council, the Sphinx's nonsense riddle, princess HotWatch, human submarine button, SimonWatch, Simon: Civil War, Seven Simonrai, the Seventh Simon, Seal Team Simon, Call of Duty: Simon, Skyward Sword was an inside job
