    😈 The Creature: Ahuizotl

    Just a simple dog with a hand on its tail running a protection racket by the lake.

  2. 445: Indian folklore: Fake It 'Til You Make It

    7 oktober 2026 · 54 min

    Afspelen
    💪There's something powerful about confidence. Lees meer

    Except that, if you're not actually powerful...or generous...or deadly, pretending to be those things can get you in a lot of trouble. Only if you get caught, though. Three stories from South India of people who are faking it.

    😈 The Creature: Okuri inu

    Look, everyone wants a dog to hang out with them on the dark, scary road at night and protect them from dangerous mythological creatures. The problem is the Okuri Inu only protects you so that it can eat you itself.

    😈 The Creature: Tarasque

    If it looks like a Bowser, bites like a Bowser, and scratches like a Bowser, it's either a Bowser or it's the Tarasque. If it sings like a Bowser then it's probably a Jack Black.

    Anansi is one of the most famous folklore tricksters in the world, but we'll see that behind every great trickster...is likely a trail of broken and/or angry people who want to get even.

    😈 The Creature: Tsuchinoko

    🔱It's Poseidon's turn. Lees meer

    On the podcast. Not to be king of the gods. He's actually totally not mad that his little brother is king. Because Zeus isn't the king of him. But Poseidon does do everything his brother says. Not because Zeus told him to, though. He just planned to do it anyway, so no problem.

    😈 The Creature: The Alan

    And what's happening in this town, where people need to pay upwards of $30k (in 2026 USD) a year to a Buddha they never see? That's a shakedown. Does his master, the Tang Monk, believe him? Of course he doesn't.

    😈 The Creature: Man-dragon

    Hey, just because man-dragon knows something bad is about to happen and shows up there ahead of time doesn't mean he's obligated to tell you the bad thing that's going to happen.

    😈 The Creature: Sisimito

    I did not know the Soviets had a secret program to create Chimpanzee-human hybrid. That's almost unrelated to the Sisimito. Almost.

    We all make mistakes. Too many of the samurai Jiuyemon's mistakes involved killing people with a sword while drunk, though. While the heat dies down, he needs to start a new life in exile. As a toothpaste salesman.

    😈 The Creature: Kappa

    Famous for being cute and giving boat rides in Animal Crossing! Don't ask about what he used to get up to before he was a kawaii manga star, though! It definitely doesn't involve eating humans and having multiple anuses!

    ✨Cobbler Ahmet just wants to fix shoes✨ Lees meer

    But his wife wants those sweet, sweet bath reservations, so it looks like he's going to go be the Chief Astrologer to the Sultan. The only problem(s)? He doesn't like astrology, doesn't know how to do it, and starts out by selling his astrology by the side of the highway.

    That's actually the second story, because this week there are two stories of two Ahmets following dreams. On the first is junkman Ahmet, who has the same wonderful dream every night...except when it stops being wonderful, and starts getting real, he learns that sometimes following your dreams can be painful. And also weird.

    😈 The Creature: Wapaloosie

    If you find you're always misplacing your gloves, they might be actively crawling away from you...because they're made from the fur of a Wapaloosie, a half squirrel, half dachshund, half caterpillar.

    😈 The Creature: The Jurua

    Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there’s the jurua who is taking their family out to a nice dinner…of your flesh. Hope you’re wearing the right creeper.

    Which one wins? Well it doesn't matter because they're both demons so maybe try to starve both of them out. Or spit in their faces and steal their name tags, like Sun Wukong does. No wrong answers because, in the world of the Journey to the West, anything goes.

    But for real, we catch back up with Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, and the Tang Monk on their travels as they enter year 14 and the final leg of their journey. But are they ready for what awaits them?

    😈 The Creature: Intulo

    An evil walking and talking lizard who just wants to watch the world die. But only if he has to die, eventually. He does? Ok, then bye, world.

    Common problem. Well, common for fairy tales, at least. But, have you thought that she might not like you putting her in a box and deciding what she is before you even get to know her? It's something you might want to think about. Definitely because you shouldn't be prejudiced. Also because if she's really a sorceress do you really want to make her mad?

    😈 The Creature: Ipupiara

    A hairy, smelly merman who's just trying to keep up with the trends.

    🧞‍♂️Trying to meet the love of your life? Maybe ask for help from two genies trying to kill each other.🧞‍♂️ Lees meer

    Even if you're not trying to meet the love of your life or, like the characters in today's story, actively trying to avoid meeting the love of your life because you really don't want to marry, you still might end up falling for someone anyway. And then maybe dying of a broken heart because that's apparently actually a thing.

    😈 The Creature: Ebu Gogo

    They will take your stuff and your children...and then ask the children how to cook themselves because no one wants to eat raw children, not even hairy monsters with (maybe) dog teeth.

    ⚰️It's Halloween⚰️ Lees meer

    What do you do when death comes for you? Well, the characters in today's stories have a lot of ideas, and they're surprisingly successful. The problem? Death works on a much, much longer timeline.

    😈 The Creatures: Bulgasari

    Why you don't feed your rice monster metal needles. Unlike most pets, it will be fine. You'll be in trouble, though.

    What do you get when your daughters have been kidnapped by a sleezy cloud and your son not only spends all of his days jamming with his self-playing harp, but DOESN'T want to tear the heads off his friends? You get Tsar Wisehead, who apparently just figured out that parenting is hard.

    😈 **The Creature: Garm

    Garm is serious about his job, and that's unfortunate because that job involves blood splatters and the end of the world.

    🐻Ourson is a Beary Good Guy🐻 Lees meer

    Sorry, I couldn't resist, but he is actually a good guy. He isn't a bear though. He just looks like one to people who have probably never seen a bear, because he's kind of just a very hairy kid. He's like that because his mom kicked a toad that wasn't a toad and the toad cursed him. Don't worry, it'll make sense (mostly).

    😈 The Creatures: Ga-Gorib

    A monster who does bad by tempting people into murdering...themselves?

    One is the king of the world, and the other is a beetle. One wants to fight God, the other wants to wear golden horse shoes. When it comes to being completely arrogant and insufferable, though, they have more in common than you might think. It's two fairy tales of pride and power from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.

    😈 The Creature: The Elle-folk

    They're NOT elves. They just look and act like them and have a very similar name but if you say they're elves hope you enjoy your VERY sick cow.

    Info on the science behind Pacagen:

    The vast majority of cat allergies are triggered by a single allergen called Fel d 1. Your allergies are triggered when you breathe in or come into contact with this allergen. But if that allergen is broken down or neutralized before you come into contact with it, there’s nothing to trigger your allergies!

    Pacagen’s Cat Allergen Neutralizing Spray is especially safe because the WhiskerBlock proteins powering the formula are extremely specific. That means that they do one thing and one thing only – bind to and neutralize Fel d 1. With this level of specificity, you can avoid pesky side effects caused by other ingredients that other companies use that have other effects beyond just stopping the allergens that trigger your cat allergies.

    🐄Baba Yaga, Dragons, Giant Talking Pigs🐄 Lees meer

    We'll see what happens when a king who wants one son gets more than he bargained for: three sons, with the oddest one of all, the one capable of calming dragons (when he's not slaying them) and outsmarting giant evil pigs (when he's not slaying them), being born...from a cow.

    😈 The Creature: Coliunn Gun Cheaun
    The worst, best headless friend you hopefully never had.

    He's a peasant kid with a job that's going nowhere, a crush who doesn't love him back, and no one takes him seriously when he absolutely knocks it out of the park playing the viola. If only he knew he was destined to be legendary King of Beer.

    😈 The Creature: The Cocoa
