Since the Creative Horror Crew were on vacation recently, they’ve arranged a platter of bite-sized items from the menu of Choice Dregs, lost chunks of UCA recordings usually given only to Patreon supporters. However, something totally new and unexpected awaits at the end…

Kaela, Ben, Kylie and Eli connect link cables and discuss a submitted work of good old-fashioned PokePasta, this being a tragic tale of eggs gone awry.

Losses aside, David and Kaela set up to play this unusual game with Matt Holley, and Eli and Kylie from Cinema Nippon/Animal Fact Files. Then they decide against it once they find out what the rules are, that the prize is definitely not worth it, and that it might be more worthwhile to do an ASMR episode of this podcast someday instead.

Taking a critique request from a previous DisneyPasta Challenge-entrant, David and Kaela invite Eli and Kylie from Cinema Nippon and Animal Fact Files to stand in line with them for Pirates of the Caribbean… or at least read a story about standing in line for Pirates with a spooky twist.
David’s never really been a cat person but is alright being cat-adjacent, while Kaela had a cat growing up and likes them pretty well. That’s important because this episode, guests Eli and Kylie from Animal Fact Files are bringing some feline frights to peruse. Will these two tales make the groups whiskers stand on end, or are these cats better left in the bag?
