50. Arthurian Legends (Keep it in your britches!)

Greetings, weary travelers! This week we are celebrating our 50 episode milestone by retelling Arthurian Legends! Huzzah! Sit back as Janey regales us with tales of incest and murder (sheesh with the old timey incest, we GET IT), and Max amazes us all with the VERY steamy story of the "The Green Knight." Excelsior!
