    Closing Shop

    Closing Shop

    Today we do not have a special meal to serve. No new myths or cryptids or urban legends to fill the minds and satiate the imagination of our wonderful patrons. No, today we have a message of love and appreciation. Today we say good-bye. In this episode, we recount the meals we've cooked up, the laughs and struggles we've had along the way, and what the experience has meant for your hostesses. We thank you for the love and support you've shown our quirky little restaurant over the past year and a half. It has been an honor to serve you.
    Remember, no matter how you slice it, you're awesome, and we love you.

    SBTS #16 The Truth About Deez Nutz and Meth Gatorz

    SBTS #16 The Truth About Deez Nutz and Meth Gatorz

    Ashley’s final Story by the Slice dives into some wild tales about animals on meth to determine what’s fact and what’s fiction. Should you be worried about methed out alligators? Are attack squirrels raised on a steady diet of methamphetamine an actual thing? There’s only one way to find out…unless you want to do the research yourself, but we think this dish is pretty tasty.

    The Bear Lake Monster and the Island of Misfit Cryptids

    The Bear Lake Monster and the Island of Misfit Cryptids

    This month, we are joined by the incredible Elyse of the True Crime Cat Lawyer podcast. She served up one of her favorite local treats, the Bear Lake Monster. Reports of this creature have been around for well over one hundred years, but the sightings vary dramatically in their descriptions. Whether real or fictional, we LOVED everything about this bizarre being, and we know you will too!

    The Toxic, Twisted Tale of the Tokoloshe

    The Toxic, Twisted Tale of the Tokoloshe

    This dish contains disturbing content and listener discretion is strongly advised prior to consumption.
    The tokoloshe is a teeny, tiny, terrible tormentor of peoples across South Africa. The little being, who has been treated as a joke by much of the Western world, is thought to be a very real threat to the region. Tied to everything from theft and fires to assault and death, this creature seems to exist only to cause trouble. But the truth behind the tokoloshe and what it means for many may be darker than the creature itself. A racist past, a violent present, a scape goat, and a witch hunt. Don't mess with the tokoloshe.

Arghie ,

So...um...

I love this show. Really, there is nothing more to say. It's funny, informative, well researched and I've never fallen and broken my hip while listening so really...5 stars!

Not.Sean ,

Love it!

I’m learning a ton while laughing! Love the concept of going through different countries. Super cool and very hilarious!

team CourtNate and Anna Banana ,

I just like pizza a lot

Hey, can we have some pineapple pizza bagel bites? My thing lately is putting Louisiana hot sauce on my pizza bagels or pizza rolls and ya know… I really even love those $1 3 minute microwave pizzas you can get from Kroger.

But on to the serious sheet. I love your podcast. I want to hang out with y’all. Can we be besties?

Love, Courtney from A Nefarious Pineapple Nightmare
