@shaunbowm @CraigBaird Hilarious! One time Barry, a vinegar-on-fries enjoyer, was at a NJ diner with Crissy and proceeded to soak his fries with the ‘vinegar’ that was on the table with the salt, pepper and ketchup. It was oil not vinegar! 😆

Putting the finishing touches on our next episode “Why Macbeth is Cursed”. This pic of me and Greg Malone is from the regional high school drama festival where we did an original play based on Lady Macbeth.

We’ve mentioned our love of CODCO many times. Here’s a picture of 16 year old me with Greg Malone at a high school drama festival. I was so stoked to meet him!

Here’s Tim. Our childhood dog who was as free-spirited in the 1980s as we were. We went on a small tangent re: her escapades but, as you can see by her chilling on the standard-issue 80s couch here, she was a member of our family not just a pet.

Necropants are a pair of pants made from the skin of a dead human, which are believed in Icelandic witchcraft to be capable of producing an endless supply of money.

To begin with the sorcerer has to make a pact with a living man and get his permission to dig up his dead body and skin it from the waist down. The skin must be completely intact with no holes or scratches.

The sorcerer then steps into the skin which will immediately become one with his own. A coin must be stolen from a poor widow, either at Christmas, Easter, or Whitsunday, and kept in the scrotum.

It will then draw money from living persons and the scrotum will never be empty when the sorcerer checks. However, his spiritual well being is at risk unless he gets rid of the necropants before he dies.

If he dies with the pants on his body will become infested with lice as soon as he passes away. The sorcerer must therefore find somebody that is willing to take the pants and put his leg into the right leg before the sorcerer steps out of the left one. The pants will keep on drawing money for generations of owners.

@arithisandthat Your Cohost Crissy designed our podcast art. The nose of the skull is an outline of the island of Newfoundland and the font is meant to represent the weird stories we tell.

The original folklore version of Jack-o-Lanterns, named for Jack O’Lantern of the Irish myth, were actually quite terrifying. They were carved from turnips or beets rather than festive orange pumpkins and were intended to ward off unwanted visitors.
