🍺MEET CAMBRINUS, THINGS AREN'T GOING SO WELL FOR HIM🍺 He's a peasant kid with a job that's going nowhere, a crush who doesn't love him back, and no one takes him seriously when he absolutely knocks it out of the park playing the viola.

🤑 THE MONKEY KING AND FRIENDS ARE MAKING MONEY AND STAYING IN FANCY HOTELS🤑 What is this that you heard about them being monks? What? No. That's ridiculous. They don't know why you thought that. So weird. They are horse traders who trade horses while they pass through this city that murders monks. Wait NO DON'T TOUCH THEIR HATS. 😈 The Creature: The Cinnamologus We meet the cinnamon bird, because who doesn't love their cinnamon sticks covered in bird poop and lead?  --- Links 🎧 Connect with us! * Discord: https://myths.link/discord [https://myths.link/discord] * Instagram: https://instagram.com/mythsandlegends [https://instagram.com/mythsandlegends] * Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mythsandlegends.com [https://bsky.app/profile/mythsandlegends.com] 🛒 The Myths and Legends store is back! https://shop.nextpod.com [https://shop.nextpod.com/] 📼 YouTube We're on YouTube, now.

⚔️THE PLIGHT OF THE VIKING CELEBRITY POET⚔️ Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and none of what you actually say matters all that much...as long as you're famous. 😈 The creature: the cicada It's not a creature at all.

🐸LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY I'M SORRY (I POISONED YOU)"🐸 ...or something like that. This Valentine's Day there are three love stories from Japan. On the first, a man moves on after becoming a widower (kind of), on the second, two frogs fall out of love...with a place, and on the third, the whole world is in love with a geisha. 😈 The Creature: Maikubi (舞首) Three heads that don't so much as dance as they do bite each other and sink ships. --- Links Disclaimer: https://myths.link/402 [https://myths.link/402] 42 Rubber Chickens: https://myths.link/42rubberchickens [https://myths.link/42rubberchickens] 🎧 Connect with us! * Discord: Click here to join!
