  • Episode 20: The Grinch What Snatched Up Christmas
    What do Harry Potter and hillbilly stories have in common? Quite a lot, actually.

In episode 20 of "What the Folklore?" we read a collection of Hillbilly stories to commemorate the Fourth of July.
    Suggested talking points: hillbilly ponzi scheme, Jack Honey, attorney at law, the Doc Holler Guarantee, cannibal intermediary, hillbilly brown note witch, Jasmine pooping herself to death, Sk8ter boi fart percentages, donkey senators of the state of hillbilly, the severed hand in Wall-E, ent lilac murderer, paternity test nanobots, Weasley Chemtrails, the Boston Harry Potter Party

  • Episode 18: Ancient Chinese Hangover (Monkey King Part 2)
    If you think that enlightenment is about self-control, spirituality, and connectedness, you're wrong. You're so wrong. Enlightenment is about getting wasted, stealing magical fruit and pills, and then hiding from what you've done, starting a war with Heaven in the process. In episode 18 of What the Folklore? we read chapter 5 of "The Journey West."
    Suggested talking points: the Bear Foot Immortal, Trump enlightenment, stacked beach bonuses, the Miraculous Investigator
