Well, we honestly tried to make this a shorter episode. For the first time, we have no true fable. Rather, we only read a single adventure of T.G. WARP; Carter's superhero series from high school. After that, we seemingly forget we are recording and just hang out for another 30 minutes. But hey, maybe that's your thing!

Well, we had a lot to talk about before and after the story today so we decided we needed to make this one a two-parter. We're talking to kings, playing phtrivia, and critiquing Amazon's Rings Of Power. Also we are reading the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty!
