We are sure you know the story of Cinderella. Beautiful servant girl, fairy godmother, handsome prince, and tiny dainty feet - obviously. But you haven’t heard Coco read you the Brother’s Grimm version, and you don’t want to miss it. . We start with a brief history of the Cinderella story, and we bet you can’t guess where the first recorded version comes from! Then we dive right into a very different telling than we’re used to. Disney really should have done more with those birds! . Follow us to the festival where Cinderella meets the handsome prince and dances beautifully until she… gets bored and wants to leave? Listen as the prince chases her through the city streets and she find every opportunity to get away, causing him to go into full Neanderthal mode and AXE. Yes, axe is verb here. Stay with us through the bird-filled, bloody conclusion and decide for yourself if there is ANY hope for the future of this kingdom. Look, these two aren’t rocket-scientists, ok? .

Let us start off by saying: that Spill the Mead CoHost and Armored Combat World Champion Taylor Jones retracts EVERY STATEMENT ever made about him being on this boat… a claim he has made MANY MANY TIMES. But after hearing this story, we totally understand not wanting to be affiliated with this bunch because good-Greek-gods these boys are exhausting • This story should be called Hercules and the Golden Fleece since he’s the only person who seems to have any sense of urgency about retrieving it.. which is the ENTIRE MISSION here. But Jason Gronkowski eventually makes it there, and Madi is top-notch unimpressed with him the entire time. • Join us for a FreshCup afterwards! Where we decide if anyone honestly did anything wrong here… How do you know if you don’t ask? Maybe it’s not so much the “WHAT” as it is the “WHO” in this case?? Tell us what you think. Also… if YOU want to hear the personal threesome stories mentioned… then get on Patreon and tell us! We’ll give it to you only $3 for HOURS of FreshPot entertainment!

What does it take to make the (arguably) greatest archaeological discovery of all time? Grit. Tenacity. Patience. Money money money, skill with a paintbrush, and the ghost of the past calling your name… so not even that much, really. Listen as Coco spills the hot Egyptian tea on beige-boy Howard Carter, his rich bro benefactor Lord Carnarvon, some dude named Winlock, and the nameless (true heroes) Egyptian laborers responsible for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun. Then dive right into the myth of the mummy’s curse and decide for yourself if the deaths associated with the discovery of Tut’s tomb were the result of an ancient curse, or just coincidences. As usual, Madi and Coco can’t make up their damn minds. Follow that up with a fresh hot cup of brotherly revenge, brought to you by Betsy - who kicks the whole thing off with a super catchy impromptu theme song.…

Slinging information straight into your face today at speeds of up to 100mph (IF you're expert ancient slinger, that is). Today's episode is in honor of the release of House of David on Amazon Prime, where slinging is going to be featured in a cinematic fashion and Madi's little happy slinging heart is SO FULL. We will talk about the vastly underdiscussed topic of ancient slinging, and how it impacted (pun intended? Maybe? It's a loose pun, but if you dig it's there, you've gotta want it...) ancient battlefields. We will talk about who the slingers were, the ammo they used, and end of the story of the most famous slinger in history: David. The story of David & Goliath & Goliath's shield guy begins 1 hour in, and you KNOW Madi packed it with as much detail as possible. CHECK OUT @hilltophurler on Instagram and his page at hilltophurler.com for BEAUTIFUL SLINGS (he is the one who made not only Madi's sling, but also the slings for the House of David series on Prime) and for epic slinging content.

What else do you say in this situation? Anyways. Always take a little pot from an old lady in the woods. Story 3: Their Soft Crowns Discovered This story is about . Fowls are such a weak tribe… Story 4: The Wolf and the Man Yeah, but can you fight?? This is a story about putting your money where your mouth is. Don’t let men hear it though.

Welcome to Banter-ville USA, population Madi, Gabby, and you. We do eventually get to Folktales though, and they go like this: Story 1 | Chinese New Year: here's a nice quick, straightforward one, we genuinely have no idea why we were so confused... but this is the story of the origin of Chinese New Year celebrations! You can expect a problematic (albeit only once a year) monster, a "newcomer", and a homeowning granny. Story 1.5 | Gabby's Off-the-Dome Chinese Zodiac Story: we will for sure come back to this one later, but here's a little sneaky-peaky. We love a freestyle here at Spill the Mead. Story 2 | The White Bear King: WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN AND IS THIS BEAR HOT?! In this Norwegian tale, we go for a gosh darn ride you guys... The bear is hot (we think), the princess is a dreamer, the twist is plural. The big take away here is, you can't just be a bear at some point in your life, and then not be hot if you're in human form. Right? RIGHT???

Let’s look back at the life of Scotland’s National Poet, Rabbie Burns: a hard-drinking, fast-living, tenant-farming, tax-collecting rebel with the heart of a poet and some fierce national pride. Learn with us why Rabbie is regarded as a Scottish national treasure and why his poetry and songs were SO culturally important that he is still honored each year on January 25th. We will spill all the tea on what a Burns Dinner is and even tell you how to create your own, so you can join in the celebration. Fancy a bit of haggis?…
