I'm Carrie Mulligan, the host of I Hear Fear, a new anthology series of terror. You and I know that the best scary stories are the ones we tell each other in the dark, so turn off your lights and close your eyes. Follow I Hear Fear on the Wondering app or wherever you get your podcasts. It's Mr. Ballon here, and I'm here to tell you about my brand new podcast. It's called Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries. You can expect things like bizarre unheard of diseases, strange medical mishaps, unexplainable deaths, and everything in between. Listen to Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. People of Earth, the following podcast is not real.

Now, with Autumaponus, a quick reminder, if you are planning to carve your pumpkin as a subtle yet devastating caricature of the person in your neighborhood you've come to think of as your nemesis, you'll want to begin practicing now. Let's just say my first few attempts at recreating the increasingly casual jawline of Randy Carlyle down the street are showing real promise. But for now, put down that pairing knife, sit back, and enjoy the show. Hello from the Magic Tavern. A weekly podcast from the magical land of Foon. I'm your host, Arne and E. Camp, greatest warrior in all of Foon, Perma Buddy of the Red Queen Merzia.

If you've never listened to the podcast before, this is everything you need to know. Eight and a half years ago, I fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King in Chicago, into the magical, fantastical land of Fune. Luckily, I'm still getting a slight Wi-Fi signal from the Burger King through the dimensional rift, and I used that to upload a podcast recorded here

in the tavern, the Strange Familiar, in the town town of nibble bottom, at the base of the unnamed of a mountain in the magical land of fune, and I am joined, as always, by my co-hosts. Wee! Wee! Yeah! Whoa! Whoa, already look at me! Are you writing me?

My horse? Easy boy, no I got, already, down here! Oh, what? Hey, I got my own horse boy, no, I got Arnie down here. Oh, what? Hey, I got my own horse. Oh, okay, now everybody's doing it. I got my own chunt sized horse. You know how typically, you know, with my previous horse dumpster,

it was a regular sized horse. Well, I thought, why not get a chunt sized horse? So Arnie, I don't know if you've heard about these things. They're called ponies. And a lot of people seem to think that they're baby horses, but they're not. What they are, it's a totally different animal. Okay, and a lot of people seem to think that they're baby horses, but they're not. What they are is a totally different animal. Okay, and this is our little pony.

This is my little pony. Arnie, thank you so much. And of course, I'm here to support you. Friendship is magic. Friendship is magic. That's all I borrow with tips. We both agree. Please meet Pretty Tommy Dumplin.

Pretty Tommy Dumplin. This is Pretty Tommy Dumplin. Yes. Pretty Tommy Dumplin. This is pretty Tommy Dumplin. Yes, a deep bow thinking Tommy. Okay. And there's this little mark on its rope. Oh, that, I don't know, I've been trying to get it out. I've been spitting on it and trying to rub it out.

But it just does not seem want to go away. It's like an anvil or something. I can't tell. Okay. What do you think that looks like, an anvil? It does look like an anvil. Yeah, it looks like an anvil. Huh.

Hmm, maybe that's the source of its power. What if it's the source of the power to be able to stand on two legs? But as you see Arnie, look down at its feet. Ponies are like horses, but they have human feet. Huh. Yeah, that's terrifying. This is like really cute.

And then you look down and you're like, you know what I gotta say though, how many times does that happen? Some cute and then the feeder and deal breaker. Yeah, and I apologize I did put your shoes on him. It's just because you typically don't wear them or on the tap. I so, you know, honestly give it five more years.

I'm just gonna be hanging out and make it in this place. No, promise. We'll link. Nice and nice. Now chunk, am I wrong or have we collectively lost so many horses over the last eight years? Honestly, I have lost count.

It feels like I have a horse and then we go do something and I go, where's my horse? And I can't remember. I tied it up somewhere perhaps, or I don't know, maybe it got eaten by something carried away. Hawks will take a lot of horses. Although in our defense over the last eight and a half years,

we have gone to at least four or five locations. So, oh yeah. So many ways that we could have lost our horses along the way. I will say the most tragic was when you and I were sharing that real, like that family-sized horse, and we got stuck in quicksand. But it was just like the horse was like, I want to say like half an inch in a quicksand

And we just abandoned it and it it seemed like it wasn't sinking, but we just kind of came up on it That was so sad. Yeah, we could have played that better. Yeah speaking of playing it better I'm also joined by my other co-hosts. Use the other wizard. I am Yusudor, Wizard of the 12th realm of Ephesius master of light and shadow Manipulator of magical delights devour of chaos champion of the greatelfth Realm of Ephesius, Master of Light and Shadow, Manipulator of Magical Delights, Devour of Chaos, Champion of the Great Holes of Tarakas, the Elves Nomeus Fienyark, the Dwarves Nomeus Zonenin Hook Stinges, and I am known throughout the North East as Guessmeneus Mastar, and there may be other secret names. Finding their way to the end of Ani's introduction, I loved that Aani, the way you introduced yourself.

Oh, that, yeah, you know, I- You're starting to get some titles and some names, some names of great power. All of Foon, and I am, you know, although I don't follow the Red Queen Merzia, we have a sort of agreement that if I come across a pin of power, I will try to let them know so that they can banish all restaurants and taverns and food. Aani, if you get six or seven more titles behind your name, you and I can be friends. Ooh, that sounds like a threat. And Arnie, six or seven more titles and you can start applying for jobs.

Ooh. Because you need work experience here in food. You need a lot of work experience, but it sucks because it's like, how do you get the experience until you get a job? So it's sort of like, I don't know, sort of like a horror board work experience, but it sucks because it's like, how do you get the experience until you get a job? So it's sort of like a, I don't know. Sort of like a horror board, like you know, it's snickering its own ass. Yeah.

Well, I'm going to take a chance on both of you and allow you to work at the Wizard's Choice Awards, which are coming up because we'll need all hands-on deck to make sure that that event is the most fantastical Wizard event that has ever existed. And I, on the other hand, I'm a little concerned. I made a promise last week that to spin tax that I would reveal how I managed to defeat the true death

and I, woo-hoo! I know, and that's just a total bullshit lie. I know! Speaking of all hands on deck, this guy over here seems to have his paws all over pretty tummy-dumpling. Excuse me, sir, I get your mits off my pony. Hey, don't call me sir, man. I work for a living. What's up, man? Hey, this guy seems more late back than I...

I thought it was gonna be confrontational, but he's super cool. You guys know me, man? Skik, bro. Skik. Yeah, man. I hang out here all the time, man. I'm trying to get a bar back job, but, uh, they're not, uh, they guess they're not hiring or whatever, but anyway, you guys do your thing. Yeah, we do that thing where we talk into these magic sticks. Oh, cool.

Have we actually met? Yeah, we've met, yeah, and I'm all here all the time. You in the bathroom, and I was like, I know how people love to talk while they're taking a pee. Right, so I was just like, take the chance, get up there, and that's right, does I remember you got really close to me? Oh, really close, really close, yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, yeah, I'm here pretty much every night

I got kicked out for a while. I got into some trouble What I am what did you do? I don't even remember I was fucked up man. I was fucked up. I was like deep in my cups Yes, I know about you guys.

Yeah, why don't we just take a quick break and we'll come back and see if we can remember more about Skate? Yeah. Are we sure we met him? I think so. So many people come up to me in the bathroom. There's so many townies. Well, I'm very wealthy and want to treat all my friends to a drink at the bar.

Any, uh, what can I get you from the bar? Um, I don't have a red potion. Nope. Chun? Hmm, all to... Buh-buh-buh, King's juice. Great. Skeek, what would you like?

Oh, you know what? I'll have some dragon pudding. Oh What a good idea. Actually make that two dragon puddings. I will I think I'll also have a dragon pudding. Ony Do you want a dragon pudding? Is it poop? Come on. I'll be right back for a dragon pudding It's yeah, it's gonna. I'm gonna discover it's poop. I'm dying already. I want to ask you. You're from your your Human right? Yeah, I'm from another world. Yeah. Which means it's pretty interesting. Dude, what's that like?

Well, you know what? It's, it's similar to this world in some ways. Yeah. It's sort of disorienting. I guess if you spent your whole life in this general area, you proud. I can't even use like a good metaphor for like moving to a different town. How do I relate to you? Is it true that the, that there are opposite sexes where you are?

I mean, I guess I could quibble with the opposite of it all. There are different genders, but that happens Yes, he's we have that here actually. Oh Okay, oh what do you do like what do you with your with your With your trunk nose, where do you stick it? Well, I mean do you mean my penis? Yeah, yeah, sure. I wasn't sure what you I mean, do you mean my penis? Yeah, yeah, sure. I wasn't sure what you, I seem to call them the same thing. So, there's like so much to, we're like brothers basically.

Yeah, what do you, what's it like? I'm always wondering what like different kinds of, you know, fucking is like. Yeah, huh. I've never been on the other side of this. I feel like I have, I have never been more prepped for a conversation. Put me in coats, put me in coats. Little dirty monster.

Oh yeah, I'm a sheep shifter. You probably know from our last meeting, Skike, where do I start? As a bird, when I've shifted into a bird, the cloaca. Okay, so picture like a thin sheet of metal over your genitals. And then the sun starts to warm it and it sort of melts to the curvature of your genitals, right? And then someone sort of rubs their hand

in a circular motion over it. That's what it feels like. Damn, it's super non-sexual. Yeah, it was rough. It's very bad. Yeah, very very bad. It hurts. It hurt a lot. I might have been doing cloakers wrong. You lost me a thin sheet of metal. I've got to say. Well real thin, real thin. Like a wrapper. You like a thick piece of metal, like a thick rusty piece of metal? What are you into? Yeah, Ernie, you like thick metal? Um, you know, I guess, um, I, no, I guess I don't really like metal.

It's just so strange, like I feel like I so casually ask magical creatures, all kinds of very personal questions, but when I get asked these questions, I don't know how to answer them. Dragon putting, but you must be getting tail left and right down here. I mean are so curious you must be Oh, oh dragon pudding for everyone. Yeah, sorry Smells weird. Ah, none of us are going to work tomorrow, right? I don't work. Oh, maybe I'm a wizard, too, because I don't really work Oh, barely work. Ha ha ha. Skik, what do you do when you do work?

You know, I like a clean shit up around here for free drinks. I just do odd jobs here and there. You know, I'll do like after a battle, I'll like a hall corpse is out. Oh sure. Am I right and remembering? I feel like I have a, it's a foggy memory coming back to me. Were you working on like the next great Phunian novel?

Oh boy. Yeah, in another life, basically. Yeah. They say to write what you know, and I did that, and it turns out that that was a bad idea. Everybody thought it was disgusting. Do you, you might know in your world, do you have you heard of a guy called the Marquis de Sade?

Yeah. They said that my work was analogous to that. Already I should say, since we've been to Earth, I've really been spreading the word about that guy. He was wild. I apologize. Why, you watch one documentary on A&E and you come back and

that's all you talk about. A skik, do you have a copy we could read? I mean I happen to have a manuscript right here in this level. Oh, that's all I don't know. You want to read it right now? I'd loved to read it since I am a great and powerful wizard. I can read it but in the blink of an eye. Oh, cool, all right, well. Well, I don't know. I don't know if I can read a can. I know as I'm gonna start pounding this dragon. I'm putting it.

I definitely can read, but do you mind reading a passage or two to me? Sounds like you can't read, bro. No, I can't. It does sound like that, doesn't it? I can't read. I definitely can't, that's a weird way to start is that right? Can't do math can't read.

Yeah, I can. I'm gonna flip through it real fast, and then you can read a pass. Mm, so, uh, uh, uh. Oh, his eyes are watering. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, pretty Tommy Dumblin, come on. Oh, it's pretty good. Wow, that means a lot. You know, honestly, after it got rejected, that's when I started hitting the grog really hard.

You've kind of given me some inspiration, maybe I should try to get my shit together and keep writing, I don't know. Oh, no. The extra-dimensional mind if a wizard can handle what you've written. Me and Mortos will be very disturbed. I'll just approve it. Read a passage for Awny.

Okay. Uh. Hmm. It's lighting a candle. Watching my mother fuck that horse made me realize that I missed my dad. Sure, it was a real horse, and not half man or anything. But that thick brown, pull, ramming in and out of her, well she made deep eye contact with me, just made me miss the man I never really knew.

The sun set like two broken goose eggs over the horizon. That's actually kind of beautiful. Oh thank you. There's actually there's 30 pages of the description of the sun setting. Yeah you started where you started. Right. Yeah. Arnie that was akin to remember on earth you made me read Proust. Yeah. Yeah that was a kin to remember on earth. You made me read Proust. Yeah. Yeah. That was very kin to that. Just a lot of pages on just beautiful descriptions. I have to say pardon me for a second, Skeek. That was one of our worst adventures. Yeah. When Arnie made you read Proust, I made it. I'm so I am so glad. Hey, here's what I'll say. Love

reading it. I'm so glad that episode got corrupted, right? Yeah. That the audio didn't work out. If I could save that audio, we can have you read it. So I sucked. All the proofs on the Patreon. It was three hours of the three of us reading to each other. I mean, insane. But, Askeik, that maybe, maybe, I mean,

I know nothing about literature, but maybe expound upon that one description, because that was gorgeous. Oh, okay, I could just try to riff. The penis looks like it could belong to a man, but no. Sorry, not that. Yeah, sorry, I should have explained,

I should have said which description. The head would look like a regular head, but it had no balls. Okay, I'm starting to,, it started to come around. Right. There's something beautiful about how hideous it is. That's why my great wizardly mind, the conviction, view, other dimensions

while I sit here talking with you at this table. You know, I can, I get it. Yeah, thank you, man. I really appreciate it. I gotta say, hang with you guys. This is better than I get it. Yeah, thank you, man. I really appreciate it. I gotta say, hang with you guys. This is better than I ever imagined. Oh, I know you're gonna be busy in the piss trough at the Wizards Choice Awards,

but if you have a few moments, maybe you can read a passage to the Wizards at the event. Oh my God, are you kidding? Oh yeah. You sure, yeah, are you kidding? Oh yeah? You sure yeah, if you are if you'd like I do I will do anything to get close to those guys. I mean that would be amazing. Yeah It will pay you one extra gold piece to do that. I have to pay you or you pay me. Yes. You pay us Okay, all right. Oh, you know what? I'm friends with the grave robber. I can do it

Yeah You know Derek the grave robber. I can do it Yeah You know Derek the grave robber. Oh Meet Derek's my homie man. I've known him a long time and he he fucking owes me He knows what for I'm not gonna say but he knows Probably from stealing from a grave of someone you love I assume let's just say he's got a horse-sized cock ring that is rightfully mine. Yeah, it makes all right. It's right. Yeah. Do you want it back? I do, but you know, it's he and I live by code, so I can't. It's the right of every child to have every item that their parent was buried with. Yes. And like most cockarings,

it's been in my family for generations. Of course. Something sweet about that. Skik, it's interesting. I've seen your type around to some degree, just people who feel like they've been in this town forever, kind of never left. You said you were in the burning forest for a while,

or the burn forest. Have you been able to travel anywhere else? Have you said you were in the burning force for a while or the burn forest have you Been able to travel anywhere else have you seen the rest of the world? They're just kind of stayed here. No fucking way. I've proudly have bear I've never even been in Into the main part of food Wow, no really. Yeah bottom Bottom bread. It needs it. Exactly. Yeah, they're like a vacation. I keep it real. No, no, no vacation.

No way, man. Are you kidding? I've been no time for vacation. You know what I do? When the hunchbacks have their convention, I scrub hunchbacks when they're here, when they go over to the hot springs. I feel like we got everything here that we need, you know?

Why would I ever leave? That's like, I'm sure to the hood. Yeah, so is Derek the Graverubber. Yeah, nothing wrong with taking pride in your town, you know? Yeah, heck yeah, man. And you do have a beautiful mountain here, though, it is unnamed. And not maybe it's beautiful as the ranges of Fingaria

and a beautiful hot springs you said, but it's nothing like the beautiful lake. And there's nothing quite as majestic as the cathedrals and architecture of Northeastia, but you're perfectly happy to stay in nibble bottom and never see those things. Don't you ever feel like there's a fist that's grabbed hold of thine heart and begins to crush it from the fear that you shall miss out on something Dude let go my arm man. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. You're feeling that dragon pudding huh? Yeah, it's really getting to me No, man. Hey, we've got strip shoppiece

We've got we've got all the things that that I've heard about all those places that you mentioned, but far as I'm concerned, you know, we've got why go out to see just a bigger version of the thing you have here. Oh, and have you ever been over to the strip shoppies? No, I've been curious though. Well, it's perfect. It's a wonderful evening if you want to say renew your license and then get a burrito.

Yeah, there's a noem stop over there. Yeah. There's a noem stop for sure. You can kind of trade in your used noems for actually very little value. We used to hang out there all the time when we were kids. That was the strip, the strip shoppy was like, that was the place.

Seems like a lot of teens hang out behind the strip shoppy. Oh yeah, yeah. Did that too. Maybe like 10 or 12 years ago, didn't the strip shoppy here have a cold, sort of a cold stone? It did, it did. Like it's with Leon, did she kind of cool off?

Yeah, we just chill out there, no pun intended. And until the cops came and would bust it up. No, the constabulary. Yeah. Is there anywhere in the strip shop where I can just buy some scratchers? You can definitely ask a lot of people there to scratch you. And they'll usually do it for money, yeah. Dixporting Clause is a good place for that.

Dixporting Clause, yeah. There's a lot of options. I feel like you're evading question. Have you fucked a lot of beasts down here? You know what, I've actually... And I can call Matt, because I am half one. Yeah, you are, yeah, of course. And I can call Matt because I am half one. Yeah, you are, yeah, of course.

No, I've mostly stayed pretty celibate in my time here. And it's really, in a way, it's gotten me to be very present and in other ways, it's made me go slowly crazy over eight and a half years. Yeah, I would think so. What do you like to get to fuck our beasts? Oh, Arnie let go of his arm. You never thought of that.

Sorry. Sorry. I don't know, just a little stressed out, maybe. I don't know, maybe it's time that I fuck a beast or something. I don't know. Yeah, clearly it is, dude. You have to think about the greatest warrior before you, Annoir, who seduced the great beast of Karath?

How that go? Hey, we did it is one of his many feats the great beast. Yeah, the great beast of Karath Yeah, it's a 10 like top tier. Oh really? Yeah, as top tier beast and a 10. Yeah. Oh, yes, haha.

I'll stay away You're like, huh, but I need a way to remember these in exactly this order. Yeah, DTF They say a lot of wizards like very powerful mages

You know in the bedroom. They like to kind of relinquish control So you know, they like someone who'll step on their globes or whatever that is. What do you call those things? Globes orbs orbs. What do you call those? I mean, like someone who really grabbed my orbs and just give him a squeeze. Yeah, those balls you look into. What are those things called?

So, Skik, you mentioned wanting to, you know, possibly be a bar back. Do you make any sort of special cocktail, or is there any sort of local drink that we haven't had besides dragon pudding? Because these rip, these dragon pudding is for rip. Have you guys ever had an impf mist? No.

Oh dude, impf mist is what we used to have all the time where kids, you take a little bit of the tears of an impf. Okay. A little bit of fermented tuber. Okay. And then you get just a little bit of lysergic diacetid, and you put that in there.

And it's really good. It's really good. I love lysergic diacetid. Yeah. My one problem, all those ingredients are easy, but where am I going to get a tuber? I mean, lazy river?

It's more sad Hey guys, it's been about three days, but I finally finished making this chair It's been about three days, but I finally finished making this chair. Oh! It's been three days? Yeah, so you just sit on one piece of wood? Yeah, I tried a lot of different things, and then I was like, how do I even connect to these pieces? So eventually I just threw away

most of the pieces of the chair, and this part technically is a chair. Okay, dude, am I remembering right? Did Arnie, did you show us your balls, dude? Oh hold on hold on, did you make clear? I showed you guys one of my balls. Why would you do that? I don't care, that's totally inappropriate, man.

I ain't chun can't help it. He's not wearing anything. Yeah, I would never I have some respect I'm an author dude Chun, would you like to wear something sometime? Should we give you a little vest or a little hat? See facet those things aren't gonna solve them, bro. No, you know what? I'm tired of the world

I'm tired of the world seeing everything. I will take a vest in a hat vest in a hat that way I keep some of my mystery. Okay. I like it. Arath-Telak-Halash-Hal-A-Hal-A-Hal-A-Hal-A-Hal-Bing! There you go, vest in a hat. Oh. Imagine the conjured from the realms of Ephesius

by the goddesses' wishes. Oh, this hat makes me feel so smart in the vest. I feel so, um, in search of lost time by Marcel Proust. Oh Arnie I think I remember the whole book. Okay well just starting it. I would but last time we lost the audio so I don't want to curse us again but I feel pretty confident I have the whole thing memorized. Three words. That are in it. They didn't even have to be the first three Search lost time. I want to say okay fair enough fair enough to Shay Skik Well, I'm so sorry. We all got so terribly drunk together here that's having tonight. I guess three days ago

Hey, yeah Just another hump day for me, man Yeah, and I want to apologize that my friend Arnie said at one point that you were walking like the guy from the Jemeraquai video. I don't know what that means and it felt rude. Yeah, well, luckily, I don't remember it, but I'm just psyched because now I'm your roommate. This is fun. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, you know, just so you know, since we're sober now, Rant is doing it the beginning of each month. It's 70 gold pieces.

We've been splitting it three ways, so far. Oh, I figured it was like, ogre rolls, you know? Like, what are ogre rolls?? Like what are ogre rules? If you invite an ogre over to spend the night, they live there, they're guest. Well, but you're half senta, so you're gonna pay a part of the rent. I mean, but honestly, I'm mostly ogre.

What are senta rules? Well, they're very prideful. I mean, honestly, I wasn't ever that close to my dad. I think as I told you guys. So that's a whole part of my culture that I just don't have access to. He has anything with that cock ring back. And then... Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me.

How did you bring that up? I don't remember inviting Skik over to you. No, he's right. You don't invite Skik over to you. He's fucking right, man. I gotta get that cock ring back because my dad Fuck did Derek sell it to somebody is that or does he still have it? I don't know man. I don't know He won't tell me he won't fucking tell me Shit is Derek the guy with that giant gold headband but he wears all the time? Yeah, that's him.

He's the body snatcher, the grave digger, Bob and grave robber. He's got that gold hit. Wait a minute. Do you think that headband's my dad's cock ring? Absolutely. Yeah, for sure. Everyone knows it. Yeah.

Everyone says, oh fuck. You guys have to help me kill Derek. What just take it off his head? No, no, no. You guys have to help me kill Derek. What just take it off his head? No, no, no. You guys have to help me avenge my father. Come on, ogre rules, man. Ogre rules. No, ogre rules don't apply to us.

Do they? We're best friends now. Didn't you say last night I have this memory? You say we're best friends. Yeah, I probably said that. Oh, shit. Oh, guys, I just looked down the bottom of my tummy is shaved and we got tattoos that said beast friends Oh, yeah, it was that just be tummy that was just be no

Yeah, I've got one here. Huh, it's wild. I'm experiencing zero fomo about this I have a crease in my tummy, so it says, bat, bat, Fred. Bat, Fred? Yeah. A little creases. Yeah. You know bat, Fred?

I don't know them. I used to see their couple of their shows before they were huge. Yeah. Wow. I, this happened so often lately where we need to kill someone that our guest is displeased with.

I'll kill somebody you guys want to help kill. Now we're talking. Now we're talking. That's capitalism. Alright, very well then. Who do we want to kill? We don't want to kill anyone, right? I mean, is there anyone named one person?

We said a bunch of people. No, but you want to kill someone. Come on. Yeah, absolutely. We have to defeat evil in all many forms. It's my whole purpose So if there's someone evil and you kill them will call it even me. Yeah, if you kill someone evil call it even Okay, who who is this what are we talking about? I don't like Baron Ragon or

Baron Ragon. Yeah, or um doctor cold or Okay, doctor cold. Who's doctor cold? You know Baron again. Yeah, or um, Dr. Cold or uh, okay, that's not true. Dr. Cold, who's Dr. Cold? You know, the ice villain? No. Yeah, we've talked about this for sure. I'm sure.

Okay, I will say the only way I know how to kill is to push a giant boulder onto somebody. So if you can get them under, ooh, okay. I don't know, maybe go to Shadow Valley or Shadow Gorge. I can, which one? Shadow Valley or Shadow Gorge? Let's do Gorge.

Gorge is gonna be, is it less margin of error? Okay. Now this kick says that. I feel like this is our opportunity to kill Roger Softhead. Remember Roger Softhead? Oh yeah, I hate Roger Softhead Inpaturable armor except for the top of his head, but he's like a foot nine or something Yeah, it's tough to get a hat up there might be able to put a shoulder on him though. Oh, yeah, I'd do that

Okay, well, yeah, here's what we'll do. I'll get him to the bottom of shadow gorge Okay, then I'll send a raven to you. And as soon as you get that raven, get over to the Gorge, because I'm not going to be able to keep him there that long. I have to come up with some excuse. Why wouldn't I be at the Gorge already? Well, how do I get him there and when you do while he's waiting for the raven to get me? How I'm with I'm a skeag. I don't know when I'm going to get in there. I don't know. I don't know when I'm gonna get in there. I don't know how I'm gonna get in there in the first place.

Yeah, but I mean get call the raven as soon as you get him and we know about how long. Okay, okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, guys, guys, use our arneeps. Hey, hey, come here, come here, come here. What is it? What do you know? No, ski, I think we're getting bogged down by a town. Yeah, just cuz he wants to get us get us into fights and try to kill a guy Yes, get us drunk. Get us into fights. Who's in all our break?

No one's ever wanted to be my best friend before. Except for him, he's pretty old, and I haven't seen him in years. Yeah. Hey, can you guys come sing to me? It's the only way I can shit. Oh, that actually breaks my heart. I'll be right back. Oh great, you said what gets to do it. Now the two of us are left out of this whole singing thing.

Yeah, we can't even harmonize with them. That's good. We could have been a great like three men in a baby moment where we sort of sing to them for the door. Can you guys come here? He wants us to harmonize. Okay.

You know the one. It's urgent last time. Yeah. Speaking of great masterpieces, I think do we have any email to read? Oh, yeah. Skate, do you mind if I read, please, Gush and Fawn over your new reunion.

Here's an email sent to chunt at gmail.com, of course, as chunt was six T's, this is from Edward Moline, Yusidor's dead horses, Hychant Arne and Yusidor, I'm a big fan of the podcast, but I had a question that always bugged me from the early days.

I was going to leave it, but the subject of the question came up for the first time in years, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to quench my curiosity. That's a good phrase, quench my curiosity. In a recent podcast, you mentioned Jeremiah, King of the Horses, who you used to be friends with until he kicked you out of the insane crown posse, by not inviting you to a party, etc.

We don't need to relive that awful history. Around the same time, Yustor was killing a lot of horses to watch games of mittens. Yustor, is that right? Well, you have to kill evil horses to get the horses blood to watch a game of mittens, yes, that's true. That's one way to watch a game of mittens. You can also pop and lock. You can also just go to the game live.

Do you think all these horsementers are why Jeremiah kicked you out of the insane crown posse? Oh Well, I mean they're evil horses. I don't murder regular horses. I murder evil horses Okay, but I mean he might be mad about that still. I mean he's still the king of all horses evil or not But I've had I've had lots of you know Grimhoff the fifth fastest horse in food It's great friend of mine still to this very day Speaking of horses, where did our horses go that we have three days ago? Yeah, where's algebra? Yeah, where's algebra? Where's

By your little pony. I don't know already. We did it again. We just did it again. We just had Skake skake you motherfucker fuck you even What's up horses? What what You made us lose our horses. What? What? You made us lose our horses. Hey, man. I am not gonna take in responsibility for that. Look, you're not taking responsibility for anything. Get out. We're just going through our stuff, Skake. Look at the toilet. There's a little patch of skin with an anvil on it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, that was there That definitely I've shoved up my butt pretty Tommy dumplings. Oh, no I gotta come clean guys when you all passed out. I was super hungry and there was nothing to eat and

I know it sounds weird, but the ogre part of me loves horse meat but the ogre part of me loves horse meat. Man. Skik, I would say it sounds weird, but my friends, over the past eight years, anytime I've introduced the character, it's been killed immediately. So, this is just par for the course. It wasn't me this time. Except for the fact that I was the one to notice the mozin' toilet.

Yes, already. Yes, oh no. Huh. Well, uh, Skik, I'm sorry, but, um, I suppose we'll see you around the bar. Oh, but I'll see you at the wizard's choice awards, right? Oh, absolutely. We still need you to pay us to work there. Oh, right. And I get to lay in that trough. Yeah. Do you have to lay down in the, I, I have to lay down. Good I'm sorry I have to lead okay

Why are you trying to yuck my yum all the time? Sorry, sorry no fair fair Humans huh I know they're really kind of boring. Yeah, well, I'll see you with the Wizard's Choice Awards where you'll be Working in the trough and hopefully doing a reading for us. Yeah, yeah I've you guys have inspired me to get back to my writing. Wonderful. It was all worth it. In the end, good defeated evil in all its forms. For today, we've inspired a writer to create.

Oh wait, Arnie, there's our horses. They just bumped into the skik. Oh, they're fine. What did I eat? Huh. He must have eaten some of those, I want to say, in beefables. In what were those called? You know, spin taxes thing.

Oh, oh, spin taxes ink and seava beef? Yes, you know, the logo for the packaging is a little landfill. Okay. Okay, so our horses are fine, aren't you? They're okay. Good. Are you relieved? I am.

Good. Just let's? I am. Good. Just let's try really hard to not forget the exist before next week. I think this is where, if this was the internet, I would write Ron Howard voice. They forgot they existed by next week. Am I doing that right? I currently only use the internet to send Harry and David fruit boxes to randomly chose in names. To keep everyone on their guard.
