Send us Fan Mail

On today's episode Janey will dive into the bizarre and wonderful world of modern Egyptian folklore with a tale of a tiny butler who helps a rich kid neg a princess. Max will tell us a “weird and boring and realistic story” about a hot, hot horse who commits fratricide for too much milk, and the unnamed boy who is along for the ride. We hope you enjoy it!
