Synopsis:
Tune in weekly for tales that can basically be called tall. Three extremely talented, handsome, and untrustworthy narrators take turns presenting comedic stories in a variety of genres and styles. One writer each week will present their tall tale and then relinquish control to the next writer who has one week to write the next part. No characters or plot lines are sacred, so hide your kids and your protagonists, because they're subverting everybody's expectations out here.

This is no longer a detective story, and I feel like that's not necessarily my fault. HE SOLVED THE MURDER IN PART 1, right?
Things aren't what they seem and you can't trust anyone, not even the narrator.

We're back with absolutely no explanation.
In this fantastical episode, Todd spins a yarn about rats with fluffy tails. I dunno, I think squirrels are cute.
Anyway, the explanation for why we were gone for almost a whole year is because we all got new jobs and moved around and stuff. We recorded like 10 episodes so far, which will be uploaded every two weeks. Now with some episodes in the bank, we might be able to meet our upload goals for a while.
Enjoy!

What Are You Gonna Do About It?
Tue, 18 Jul 2023 08:00:12 GMT
Every adventuring party has an elf. Every respectable one anyway. I'm sure either Lewis or Clark was an elf. Or maybe it was Sacagawea? Let me know in the reviews if you think Sacagawea was an elf or not.

There's a subtle difference between "mercenary" and "contract killer," probably.
In this wacky part two of a story, Todd literally continues the story by doing the things that the characters said they would do in part one, and somehow throws everyone for a loop.

Sugar and spice and a dash of a magical -or not, it's unclear- VR room, what does that get you? Well, you could do the homework this week and read up on the OG story, but we think our parody works just fine on it's own.
Also, there was a hiccup in the timeline, but we are back this week! Thanks for sticking with us.

My apologies for the rough audio quality from my (Jared's) mic at the end, it served well for several years but finally shit the bed a couple minutes before we finished recording, i did my best to clean it up, but the audio quality was not recoverable.

While this show is great for learning advanced story writing techniques, this particular episode is not a great example of how to write women, but that's not my fault! I'm parodying noir films and it comes with the territory. In fact, parodying anything from before, like, the 2010's is gonna be tough. Stay tuned after the story to find out how Jared or Adam would have finished the story had I not been allowed to do what I did.

The shocking truth behind these far right podcasters seems to have been mismanaged and they seem to be having a hard time reconciling their own morality with what they are preaching which I think was just me projecting on these lunatics assuming that at points in their lives they feel bad for what they do, though I dont believe it for a minute, In other words; we have a high fantasy epic on our hands with this continuation.

For our first episode, where we could write a short comedic story in any genre we wanted, I picked horror for some reason. That reason being that comedy and horror are both pretty much based on shock and defying expectations. Makes sense, right?
