Story Time

This week Michael brings in a tale while making some BIG claims about how good it is, but first we catch a little bit of sarcasm from the Brothers Grimm.

In this extra-length episode we finish our trek through the underworld, and that's no lie! David and Michael strap in as we travel through the 8th and 9th circles of hell, and it's pretty grisly, but also fun! Hold on to your butts!

You thought it would never happen, but this week Michael brings an actual, full-length fairy tale featuring an actually famous character! PLUS David takes personal responsibility and gives unnecessary medical updates.

Another cavalcade of tiny tales this week as David tries his best to learn something from each one. Ghost kids? Check. Bird preachers? Check. Dating tips? You know it.

Our tour through the underworld continues as David leads Michael through the remainder of the sixth and seventh circles of Hell.

We're absolutely overflowing with stories this week! Granted, some are small, but at least David also hates them! Brush your teeth and dive in as we make our way even closer to the end of the Brothers Grimm!

We're back with a vengeance! It's a triple tale treat today as Michael brings us more Brothers Grimm tales and David once again has FEELINGS about HORSES. *Note - Michael did in fact not send David the picture he said he took, so now no one gets to see it.

Our tour of the American Cryptid scene continues as we make our way through the great Midwest! Spooky worms, Dogmen, and crazy sounds abound in this week's episode! Follow along with the images of these Cryptids here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Wt43kh8w14Z7QUBP6

It's time for a folk tale detour! We address a glaring oversight from our email past, and in the process get two great Japanese folk tales for today's stories! That's a win win!

Our tour of weird and creepy America continues this week as we head down south (and southwest) for more cryptids! The Chupacabra, the Mothman, and many more await! Pictures of the Cryptids found here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nu7jnAiaNqN5WXrp6

It's time for a double dose of fairy tales and for what may be the first time ever, Michael has chosen NOT to tell one! Everybody thank him for not telling us a garbage tale by listening to the ones that made the cut!

It's time to explore the creepy and mysterious creatures in our own (American) backyards! David brings the first region in his Cryptid tour, the northeast. Champ, Puckwudgies, The Dover Demon, and more!

We're back with a "new" season of Story Time! In honor of that we're bringing Grimm's Brothers tales that at times sound...very familiar.

The time has finally arrived, and one way or another the war with the Yeerks will end today! Join the boys for the emotional conclusion to our much longer than expected series, The Animorphs. Who lives? Who dies? Who gets Cinnabons? Are you ready for it to be over? Too bad, it is!

It's a veritable checklist of fairy tale tropes! Michael brings in more Brothers Grimm, and they hit basically everything we've come to expect (and sometimes love)! Breaking and entering, inheritance conflicts, and we continue to expand on the devil's family tree!

The countdown to the end continues today with the penultimate book in the entire Animorphs series - The Ellimist Chronicles. We finally get answers to what the heck the seemingly all-powerful Ellimist's deal is, as well as the origins of his adversarial relationship with the terrifying Crayak! Plus - a tiny hint to what will happen in the last Animorphs book!
