96. No Uggos Need Apply (at WifeMart)

TRIGGER WARNING: Violence and brief loss of limbs (they get them back because it's a fairytale, but it is still shocking to hear)

Hello! On today's episode, Max is going to tell us about a little cat who can do amazing tricks, like open doors, drive chariots, and (oh yeah) save princesses from giants! Janey is going to tell us an Egyptian tale about a man who was so susceptible to peer pressure, it got him thrown down a well! We hope you enjoy!
