Episode 124: Ancient Chinese Pitch Perfect May 30, 2017

We're diving into "The Journey West" again, because it's been awhile since we found out what the rascally Monkey King was up to. And we won't find out this week, because the book just decides to have a side trip into a filler chapter.

Episode 121: Gordie's Awkward Party Corner May 09, 2017

This week's story "The Boy With the Very Long Hair" has a reasonable foundation, but just needs a little bit of spice at the end to get things really popping. Which is where we come in. Sometimes it just takes a few dedicated people who are fixated on a couple of non-related topics to get a story right.

Suggested talking points: Google Spy, baby Schwarzenegger, hunting a place to belong, Winnie the Pool Psychic Puzzle Master, a quick diatribe on Remus Lupin, Harry Potter conspiracies, judging judges, personal year systems, spirit favors, spirit high school

Episode 120: A Half-Empty Horse Receptacle May 02, 2017

This story "The Princess Bellaflor" makes more sense when you start to consider the drug habits of horses, and do a little measuring as to the soul capacity of a horse's body. We didn't get a movie out of this story, but we did out of a pretty sweet related project.

Suggested talking points: the Mouse's sticky paws, the dairy bifurcation, hot-boxing ants, animal A-Team, crackhead horse soul, butt brains, Jimbo the Spanish Story Prodigy, the saloon door of drugs

Episode 118: The Hula Hoop of Destiny Apr 18, 2017

This week's story, "Molly Whuppie," is one of those that just needs a little bit of massaging for it to really take shape, which is where we come in. But at least it features a competent main character, and those are hard to come by.

Suggested talking points: a triple cannibal murder, an extreme ding dong dash, Tyler's pizza adventure, reverse peeing, enemy grinds, gateway party drugs, a better lumberjack calendar

It's our second anniversary, which can mean only one thing: Madame d'Aulnoy strikes back with another four-part story, called "Prince Ariel,"and it has all of her hallmarks: made up stuff that makes no sense, long flashbacks, filling in the wrong plotholes, the whole nine yards. Joining us this week is a special guest, Brandon from the podcast Jump Kick Punch!

Episode 106: Kanky Spanks Feb 07, 2017

We're back on schedule following a hectic two weeks or so, and we have a pretty involved theory about this main character's backstory as a cryptid egg/football player whose career went awry. It fills in the gaps of "Cinderstick" very nicely.

Episode 98: The Shaun White Mystery Machine: The Snow Queen Part I Dec 13, 2016

We have endeavored on a two-parter, so buckle in for a meatier story. We're reading "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen, which is the source material for Disney's Frozen. We don't usually tread so close to Disney territory, but there are reasons for this one. And suffice to say that Disney goofed up pretty hard when deciding on what material to use.

Episode 97: Farewell, Mr. Potato King? Dec 06, 2016

This protagonist ranks in pretty high on the "worst heroes" list, complete with a circuitous journey that ultimately doesn't lead to much. But he does reconstruct a sausage with his colon (we think) so that's fun. Our story this week is "Thumbling as Journeyman."

Suggested talking points: Avian bone syndrome fact-checking, an honest Kraftsman, the first Yelp app, chalkboard mines, a bad robbery plan, slaughter by punching, sausage bladder, ancient vore, potato recipes, the value of a kreuzer coin, farmer advice, a zebra cake chicken, an exploration of the fetishes

Tyler and Gordie are back in control of the Fairy Tale express, and have steered her into strange waters with a story that really doesn't pan out in the end. But at least they're focused on what really matters in life: dunks, as we read "Blockhead Hans."

You can put your minds at ease, Gordie got his 2DS, and we'll all be there together for its Maiden Voyage. A little less importantly, we might have hit on a complex, tangled web of lies and betrayal surrounding fairies and giants that spans the entire of the known folklore universe. Mario Kart is pretty fun though. Our story this week is a version of "Jack and the Beanstalk".

Tyler and Gordie's power has once again been taken away by a listener who suggested "The Golden Crab." It's been a tough week for us, there are a lot of outstanding questions, there's a dog and a man and a long diversion at the end. Come join the party!

Some weeks you just don't want to talk about the story much: in this case "The Girl Without Hands."

We've got another listener-suggested story for you this week, called "The Firebird," and it's another Shakespeare-Professor-Authorized (TM) story, fresh off the presses from Russia. This is a Russian story that somehow does not feature a Vasilisa, so we're in uncharted territory.

Episode 82: Bomb-Ass Cave Kids Aug 16, 2016

Episode 80: The Tale of Foolums Gap Aug 02, 2016

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.

Episode 77: Phantom of the Kmart Jul 12, 2016

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.

Episode 76: Farmer Voltron Jul 05, 2016

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

Episode 74: Seasick Siggi Jun 21, 2016

What might have started out as a joke about name choices in Iceland quickly turns into an emotional ride at the hands of a probably warlock named "Habogi," which is also the name of our story this week. His motives can only be guessed at, but it's either a strange form of revenge, or possibly just an innate love of chaos.

Episode 73: Stepmother Advisory Board Jun 14, 2016

This story comes really close to having the most metal ending of any story we've read thus far, but just misses the mark. Introducing a cast of interesting characters that do nothing, while we stick with the boring ones, this week we read "Vasilisa the Beautiful."

Suggested talking points: Literal Ghost Town, Mint in Box, A Sandler-esque Grasp of Time, And Her Name Is…, Born of Marshmallow Flesh, Potty Time Baby Doll, “Childhood Songs For Children,” Street-racing Knights, A Treatise on Bobba Fett, Tree Kinks, A Doll, a Girl, and a Human Skull

Episode 72: Switcheroonium Jun 07, 2016

The true heart of this episode, in which we read "Vasilisa Golden Tress" is a business plan for an Animal Planet revamp, featuring snakes doing people things and generally being unleashed where they shouldn't be. The fairy tale sort of builds around it, and involves either a bunch of idiots, or one very savvy ghost, depending on your interpretation.

Suggested talking points: Fairy tale puberty, Chess: the Ghost Musical, the beauty of the gerduun, time to stolen, the day the old people were proven wrong by wind, Randy Savage Serpent, the new Animal Planet, the foe Peeman

What if you found a magic piece of paper that would give you whatever you asked for? That sounds pretty good, right? Now what if that piece of paper was connected to the most passive-aggressive ghost who ever existed, who went out of his way just to make sure you knew how much effort he put into it? Maybe not as appealing. This week's story, "Lars My Lad," gives us a peek at what that might look like.

Episode 69: Prime Time for Duck Redemption May 17, 2016

We have to do a couple quick gear-shifts through the possible meanings of this story's name, and once it gets going it's... either very light, or terrifying depending on how you picture it. A perfect illustration of the true dichotomy of the duck. In episode 66 of "What the Folklore," we read "Drake's Tail."

Episode 60: My Daughter's Sheeper Mar 15, 2016

What started off as a pretty innocent story took such a nonsensical turn partway through that it has embittered and angered us forever. And it's not even the part about a king's creepy wife-hair doll obsession, or stealing healing birds from needy babies. In episode 57 of "What the Folklore?" we read "Kate Crackernuts."

Suggested talking points: Creepy hair dolls, chicken lesbians, worst bread parts, egg-based languages, the Chik-Fil-A Bunker, noticeably unnoticed, go where the people aren't, dusting for magic, pot no surgeon, carpe yesterday, how you Cronkite, the Fault In Our Sta-a-a-a-a-ars

Ramblecast 60 Mar 14, 2016

Excerpts of unused material taken from episode 60 of "What the Folklore?" Despite our intentions, this ramblecast is very Nicholas-Cage centric. We spend some time thinking about his best screen partners, theorizing on his acting methods, and otherwise trying to peer into the crawling chaos that is Cage.

Episode 59: Immortal Bony's Antique Roadshow Mar 08, 2016

The noble Polish people have a complete lock on the absolute best fairy tale names. Though, considering fairy tales' overall tendency to not name anyone, maybe that's not a high bar. Our cast of characters for our story "Prince Unexpected" involves the prince himself, and one Immortal Bony. Enjoy.

Episode 58: The Wonkian Stalemate Mar 01, 2016

If "The Feather of Bright Finist the Falcon" one sounds a little bit familiar, that's because fairy tale writers really liked to rip each other off. Just add a coal-eating horse and some spatially-challenged witches to the Greenish Bird story, and you've got this one!

Suggested talking points: Clothing long con, cat sweater marriage, sweatpants commitment, window-shopping in church, knife the windowsill, knifeboots, the stink of Russia, fire-eating Mr. Ed, falcon-man's falcon-times, some omnipotent asshole, fizzy lifting to the moon

Episode 57: Buffalo Down Feb 23, 2016

This story, "The Weaver Fairy and the Buffalo Boy," might not make a lot of sense, but war never does. Episode 57 is our Vietnam War/CCR themed episode, and while we don't end up filling in a lot of plotholes, we do discover the new, highly-marketable genre Buffalo YA fiction.

Episode 56: The Butterfly Intrigue: The Green Serpent Part IV Feb 17, 2016

We're finishing "The Green Serpent" this week. It's almost over, everyone. Just hold on a little bit longer, and you're free. If you detect notes of fatigue and despair in our voices, that's no joke. Spoiler alert: there's a whole, unrelated story inside this story. There are no words, just listen.

Episode 54: The Pagoda Surprise: The Green Serpent Part II Feb 15, 2016

The anniversisode continues! Taking all bets as to what the next events are of our four-part story, "The Green Serpent." If you didn't answer with pagoda surprise, you're dead wrong, you damn casuals. To be fair though, none of us called it either.

Suggested talking points: Endless pagoda times, gothic love, kiss the Hot Topic girl, the Trojan pagoda, appearing invisible, dreaming of Happy Days, what the hell is a pagodina?, out at the Wars, sidelong Livejournal attacks

Episode 53: Chance Alone: Green Serpent Part I Feb 14, 2016

It's our anniversary! To celebrate one full year of crazy fairy tales, we've unearthed one so vast and hideous that it would drive you mad simply to look upon it, like Cthulhu waking from his slumber. And that's essentially what happened to us: we're reading what may be Madame D'aulnoy's magnum opus: "The Green Serpent." She also penned the story from our first episode, along with "Felicia and the Pot of Pinks" from episode 5, and "The Yellow Dwarf" from episodes 30 and 31. Strap yourselves in, listeners. Hold your loved ones close one last time. Take a deep breath. This is territory where none of us have gone before.

Episode 52: Singalong Manhunt Feb 09, 2016

It's usually not very nice when someone just gets bored of their partner and decides to leave, but it's made a little more interesting when that person then requires supernatural help from them in handling their glowing baby, and needs to swap species. This week we read "The Legend of the Star Children."

Suggested talking points: Swollest little boys, celestial beefsteak, copy-pasted sky prairie, space fireman's pole, parkour chutes and ladders, secret flour attack, log nurses, Mr. Miyagi sex class, summoning Michael Keaton, the patriotic metric system

Episode 51: The YOLO King Feb 02, 2016

This story, "Pinkle," is what would have happened if Oliver Twist had gotten tired of begging for food, and decided to take up Black Ops training, becoming some kind of super extra stealing genius. Our most action-packed stunts yet are featured in this episode, as well as a long treatise on why you should treat your political leaders like children.

Episode 50: Pumped Full of Halitosis Jan 26, 2016

We were pretty sure we had something of a lock on where this one was going, but somehow it got away from us, and turned into a story about self-driving cars and a demon man who usurped a kingdom through sheer laziness. This week on "What the Folklore?" we're reading "The Useless Wagoner."

Suggested talking points: What the fox says, Sir Vincent of Diesel, vampire king, the mad mad bunny king, hare's breast milk, garbage human, wagon tenure, reanimated death bunnies

Episode 49: Ancient Chinese Good Will Hunting (Monkey King Part 3) Jan 19, 2016

We're revisiting the Monkey King again this week, and seeing how badly he can screw up the path to enlightenment. It turns out, quite a lot: he's kind of like a mystical Donald Trump with magic powers, and the only one who can stop him is the American equivalent of the Buddha: Duke Nukem.

Episode 47: Cornhammer 40K Jan 05, 2016

Our studies have happened upon a very roundabout mating ritual, in which one party connects a long train of events to predict doom, and the other party does exactly nothing to prevent those events.

Episode 46: 1984 and the Power of Wishful Thinking Dec 29, 2015

A new era of darkness is upon us. We may have accidentally stumbled, in Lovecraftian fashion, upon the inner meaninglessness of folklore: anything is anything, and nothing is nothing. Nothing matters. Hold your lantern of knowledge high as you enter this cavern, and seek a better truth than we could find. This week we read "King Lindorm."

Episode 44: Drop Bear Buffet Dec 15, 2015

On an infinite plane, where every story arc forms a line, they all have to cross somewhere. This week's story is the spot where Welsh Mythology crosses paths with Space Jam 2, the plot of which we have assuredly figured out: featuring Larry Bird as a time-traveling, birth-sensing, horse-collector. This week we read "The Legend of Rhiannon and Pwyll."

This week we're taking a look at the biggest missed opportunity of Shayamalan's career, with the dopest twist in a fairy tale ever.
