You remember all those commercials.
That's crazy.
I watched a lot of TV.
My parents weren't so strict about TV.
guess not.
I mean, I do remember that commercial.
And when you say it, I can recall it, but I couldn't just sit here and recall old commercials like that.
There's no way.
I've got all those jingles and all those slogans just like stored up in there.
That's why I just go at stoplights.
And the light’s still red.
singing the Zest-fully clean song.
Cause my brain is so full of commercial jingles and slogans that it's like traffic rules? Meh.
Toss those out.
We need to know more about June Allison's getting back into life with the fans.
Welcome to episode 87 of Delete This History, podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers.
We're your host, Brea Brown.
And Cara Burch.
Yeah.
What's new, bestie? 
Sean’s sick.
Yeah.
Right before the holidays.
Of course.
So, I should get it just in time to ruin Christmas.
Yes.
So, where do you think he got this? Well, he blames my concert.
Oh, he went? Last Thursday evening.
Yes, he went.
And Gary went and Sully went.
And so he says, you know, he never leaves the house.
And so the one time he leaves the house, he gets sick.
We stayed home Friday night.
I was trying to think we were out a lot on Saturday, but I don't think he would have gotten sick so quickly, like on Sunday from being out.
So, Thursday night kind of tracks.
So, I really hate to say he's wrong back.
think he's right.
Yeah, probably.
Those concerts, you're all sitting close together.
Everybody's coughing.
Well, and the kids, the kids I was around in choir, they were sick.
And so we had dress rehearsal on Wednesday night and they were just hacking up a storm.
I told myself, I'm going to get sick from this.
So, I've been pushing like my emergency packets, snorting them.
Oh, I'm just joking.
Good idea.
Glass of water makes it up.
So, I've been doing those like religiously.
And so I haven't gotten sick yet.
So, I'm fingers crossed I'm not gonna get sick.
Okay.
Just keep telling yourself you're not going to.
Yeah absolutely.
Don't say I am going to say I am not going to.
will not be getting sick.
Yeah.
It's Christmas time.
I don't want to be sick at Christmas time.
Nobody got time for that.
No! I'm a busy girl.
Man.
You know what else I don't have time for? Tell me.
Now this is gonna be TMI.
Oh okay.
Are you ready? But I've decided that women of a certain age like us have to be more open about what happens to our aging bodies as the years go on.
And you guys already know I had like most of my plumbing removed.
Well, all of the reproductive plumbing.
Right, you kept the important stuff.
However, the important stuff that's left in there has decided, eh, I don't want to work anymore.
What? So,? I was really looking forward to ditching maxi pads, but now I have to trade them in for pee pads.
No, no.
Yes, I do.
What has happened? Well, all of a sudden, and now it was, it was a little bit like this before I had my surgery, but it's, it's even more noticeable now.
If I laugh, if I cough, sometimes if I sneeze really hard, if I bend over and lift something, I've just got no bladder control down there.
the faucets are drippy.
What would have changed? What's changed? Well, I had that surgery.
Right.
And I'm just getting older.
I've had three babies.
and that'll do it.
Well, right.
I mean, you push out three babies, but yeah.
I'm surprised that after the surgery, it's now worse.
It is worse.
And here's, here's even the worst part.
And maybe it'll get better, but the worst part is that I don't feel the urge to have to pee.
I'm going to have to put myself on a pee schedule.
Yes.
Yes.
Like you're going to have to pee every other hour or every three hours or whatever because I used to have such a strong bladder.
Like I used to be able to go forever and ever and ever.
And so I'm not used to having to go that often, but I'm going to have to start emptying my bladder on a schedule so that when I sneeze, cough, bend over to pick something up, whatever, any kind of anything, then I don't tinkle in my pants.
uh What are you going to begin practicing Kegel strengthening? I've already done all that.
I do that all the time.
doing it.
I do it all the time.
Man, I'd be calling my doctor and be like, listen, we got a pee problem.
He'd probably just say, yeah, that's pretty typical.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So,.
Oh my gosh.
Now that's not cool.
Anyway, there's no shame in it, but Ladies, it's hell getting old.
All right? But you're not alone.
We're all pissing our pants together.
And if you're ever around me and you feel a little tinkle, I'll hook you up with the pads.
Oh no.
To keep you zest fully clean.
Anyway, now that we've gone through that little public service announcement, how about we play a little game we like to call Search Me, where we ask each other one trivia question from our week's internet searches.
Cara.
Your question for today is, Which US state is closest in size to Belgium? Oh, oh geez Louise.
Belgium.
I you to picture Belgium.
I'm trying, I'm trying.
Think of the waffles.
Which US state? Um, hmm, I'm just going to take a little stab.
Okay.
And I'm going to say.
Do you want a hint? Oh, I'll take a hint.
It's not a big state.
Okay.
Belgium is not a humongous state.
oh country.
Sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was thinking like Oregon or Washington.
Too big.
Really? Maryland.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
That's itty bitty.
Huh.
Why were you looking that up, Brea? Because I was watching a reality show.
about Scottish Highland and Island police officers.
So, it's kind of like cops, but not as like sensational, you know.
And they follow around these, these officers and they work in the islands and the highlands.
So, we're not talking about inner city like Glasgow, Edinburgh, nothing like that.
These are out in the sticks and they were like, Oh, you know, we patrol an area the size of Belgium.
It's massive.
And they just kept talking about how huge it was and everything.
What you know, if it's forested, yeah, I'm not saying it's whatever.
But I was like, what is this really in like, United States kind of terms that I can understand because I am very ethnocentric and I don't know anything else about anywhere else.
And so I just looked up the size of Belgium uh compared to, cause I didn't want to say what US state is closest in size to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
Like what? And since they compared it to Belgium, then I did a US comparison to Belgium and it's Maryland.
I say, okay, okay.
That's, that's the roundabout answer.
So, my sources for that were Google Gemini and mathanswers.com.
MathAnswers.com.
needed that in high school.
Yeah, me too.
Or hell elementary.
Let's not beat around the bush here.
Out of the womb, I needed math help.
If you drank four ounces of formula at one o'clock.
Stop it.
I'm starting to sweat.
All right, Brea, your quiz question for today is what is the miso in the Japanese staple miso soup? Oh, um, miso is noodles.
No.
Bread? No.
Have you had miso soup before? egg.
No, but that's a good guess.
Damn, I'm out of guesses.
All right, it is fermented soybean paste.
Oh.
Uh-huh.
It, uh, which is made by fermenting soybeans with salt in koji culture, which is a fungus.
Okay.
And sometimes grains like rice or barley.
It comes in various types, most commonly white, red, or a blend with darker miso varieties having a stronger, saltier flavor.
I see.
So, that's blended with dashi, which is a fundamental soup stock, providing the essential umami flavor.
And it's typically made from dried kelp and dried bonito flakes, which are paper thin shavings of dried, smoked, and fermented skipjack tuna.
There is a vegetarian version of miso soup where they use dried shiitake mushrooms, which is the kind I've had.
Yes.
I don't think I've ever had miso soup with skipjack tuna in it.
No.
Not that I've known of, but you know, I didn't know really what miso was either.
Me neither.
Obviously I put lots of things in my mouth that I don't know what they are or where they've been.
Sean and I had sushi on Saturday.
oh And with the sushi came complimentary miso soup.
I was just, oh my gosh, I love this stuff so much.
And I asked Sean what he thought was in the soup.
He said, I don't know, let's look it up.
So, we did.
Nice.
And it's fermented soybean paste.
Well, you got to get your daily allowance of soybean paste.
Absolutely.
The fermented kind, not just soybean paste.
Fermented foods are good for your gut.
Probiotics and correct.
So, eat all the pickles you want girl.
Yeah Good.
do not fermented though Fermented would be more in line cold Yeah fermented fermented.
It's like wine Yeah, yes wine soy sauce Mmm, uh-huh century eggs, you know You always have to work in century eggs somehow oh So, nasty.
I'll just never forget Phil Rosenthal eating that century egg and he was so sick.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.common fermented foods.
Yogurt, cheese, oh kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles.
So, that is fermented.
Olives.
I could live off of olives.
Tempeh, miso.
natto, soy sauce, nailed it, kombucha, beer, wine, cider, apple cider vinegar.
Oh, these are all my food groups.
Sourdough bread.
Oh yes, another food group.
Give me some sourdough bread, a bottle of wine and some olives and just I'm happy as a clam.
Oh my gosh.
I could just sit there for hours.
That would be so good.
But also your hands would be so puffy.
I'd be so farty.
just be like just lock me out on the front porch.
Because of the olives? I don't know.
Can you imagine like just sitting and eating nothing but fermented foods? I can't imagine you wouldn't get a bit gassy.
Let's try it.
Let's see what happens.
I'm gassy anyway all the time.
Doesn't matter.
oh terrible.
my gosh.
All right.
Well, you're farty, I'm farty.
Mm hmm.
We share that.
Yes, we do.
Our farts are co mingling.
The room is filling up.
It's getting a little cloudy.
A little.
But really, it's time for shared history.
Yay.
Where we tell you our DTH besties the most interesting thing we learned this week.
I can't wait to tell you mine.
Okay.
I hope you haven't heard of it, but I feel like you've heard of my search.
And if I have, I've forgotten.
don't worry about it.
Here's some backstory.
Okay.
In the infamous Silent Witness TV show, the British CSI type show, which I mentioned in a previous episode or two, the main male character has overlapping front teeth.
Okay.
Okay.
And I find myself staring at them all the time.
I'm a teeth stare.
I can't stop looking at his teeth.
I'm watching loot right now with Maya Rudolph.
Oh yes.
And her current love interest has crooked teeth and I can't, I just can't stop.
I can't stop looking at them.
Yeah.
It's the first thing I notice on a person.
Is it an American thing? I don't know.
Sean and I have talked about this before cause smile is what I noticed first.
Sean, He thinks that's the strangest thing he's ever heard.
I noticed teeth right away.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
And he, I think he said maybe eyes is what he looks at, which is why he fell in love with me.
Oh, but we've talked about that before and he just thought I was the craziest person for thinking, for looking at a person's mouth first.
I always look at the person's teeth.
Same.
And if they're not good, it's not good.
I can't look away.
Yeah.
I know.
Maybe it's because I've always been self-conscious of my own teeth.
Oh, maybe.
And so I'm kind of projecting that onto the person that I'm, so then I'm judgy about other people's teeth.
I don't know.
I had braces and retainers and all the things.
maybe my teeth trauma.
Yeah.
Obsession now is like fixation.
Anyway, I can't stop it.
Um, they remind me of a rodent and then I feel bad about thinking about that.
about that actor, cause he seems like, I don't know.
I don't know what he seems like.
I don't know him.
Whatever.
He's probably a decent person, but you know.
And then I think, don't be so superficial.
Like he obviously doesn't care.
Yes.
Well, it's a little bit surprising as superficial as film and TV is.
But I'm telling you, the 50 British actors, they just are not.
It's just not the same.
Like I think as Americans, we are just so obsessed with looks.
Yeah.
Maybe.
No, no, no, no, maybe about it.
Yes, are.
And yeah, we have all these unrealistic appearance expectations.
And I think over there, they just think, Hey, that just adds character.
That makes me who I am.
Man, I wish I could be more like that.
Anyway, but one day while I was watching, one of the many, many, many, many days and episodes I was watching, I thought, you know, there's probably some myth or wives tale or superstition about overlapping front teeth.
Why would you think that? Like being lucky or being a sign of being an honest person.
Cause there's always that kind of crap.
And you know what? I was right.
my gosh.
Never in my life would I have ever thought that to myself.
You know what? I wasn't even high.
I'm wondering.
I was not even high because I was, you know, I was on other kinds of pain medication so I couldn't do that.
And it wasn't the good kind of pain medication.
was like, you know, Tylenol, Niobiprofen, lame.
But I was right.
And there are other tooth superstitions and myths I want to share with you.
Oh no, I'm gonna have teeth dreams.
To justify the amount of time I spent reading them.
All right, let's hear it.
Okay, here we go.
Overlapping front teeth.
Let's cover this first.
Okay.
It means, allegedly, the wives' tale is, that you'll stay living close to where you were born and you're close with your family.
Okay.
So, if you have close teeth, just in general, it doesn't have to be just your front teeth, but just like, you know, close teeth.
Now, gapped teeth, something I know a little about.
A gapped smile in women was thought to mean a short life.
Oh.
Tracking so far.
um But it meant good fortune in others.
What do you mean? Meaning as long as you're not a woman, if you've got gap teeth, it means you're good to go.
Well, screw whoever came up with that idea.
You know, it's typical.
Good grief.
Typical woman bullshit.
Also in Scotland.
Yes.
it traditionally signifies lechery.
Lechery? Oh, wow.
Big old preverts.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, dreams.
Yes.
In some Native American beliefs, losing teeth in a dream foretells death.
Oh no.
Right? Others believe it's a sign of upcoming major life changes, regret over something said or low self-confidence.
Yeah, that all tracks.
Okay.
Yeah.
Pregnancy, the old tale of losing a tooth for each child, which I had not ever heard of.
But apparently there's an old tale about that, that you lose a tooth for each child.
Whoa.
Maybe back in the day.
Okay.
Is linked to real risks of pregnancy related gum disease.
Oh dang.
Or gingivitis.
Yeah.
Um, like when you're pregnant, you're Your gums bleed a lot because everything is kind of loosening up and softening and getting ready for birth.
Well, always not these days, but maybe 15 years ago, anytime I was on my period, my gums were always sensitive.
Oh, really? Like, yes.
So, everything just every time it was every month too.
It sucked.
Yeah, that would suck.
so Apparently you're at a higher risk of losing teeth when you're pregnant.
So, I have not lost a like knock on wood tooth.
That's good.
From being pregnant and I won't be pregnant ever again.
Man reasons 6002 not to get pregnant.
All right.
My teeth are falling out.
Now we've talked about this before on the podcast, babies born with teeth.
Oh, yes.
All right.
It's called they're called natal teeth, which is a great term.
Babies born with teeth were considered lucky in ancient Rome, potentially destined for leadership.
Oh, like you're already ready to go.
However, other customs view natal teeth as a sign of bad luck or that's a potential future murderer.
Oh my gosh.
Or even a vampire.
It's a little on the nose.
Yeah, right.
Now amulets.
Carrying horse teeth or a tooth from a corpse.
Either one works.
Was thought to ward off pain.
Just carry around.
Tooth.
Where's that little pouch? Oh, it's just some horse teeth.
Don't worry about it.
Just one of my dad's teeth.
He died a few years ago and I thought, you know dad, the least you could do is ward off some of my pain.
You're put your teeth in a vial and carry it around my neck.
That's disgusting.
That sounds like something Angelina Jolie would do.
Yes, yes it would.
um Wearing teeth for luck.
Ancient Vikings believed children's teeth brought good luck and protection in battle and they often strung them together into necklaces for warriors to wear.
Here's my baby's teeth! um got the chills just thinking about.
Don't you think it's weird? Don't you think that keeping children's teeth is weird? Yeah.
It's so weird.
Throw that thing away.
I always throw away the teeth.
Yes.
Oh, barf.
Weird cures.
Here we go.
Okay.
uh Kissing a donkey, jumping through a window or complaining to a pear tree.
were believed to stop toothaches.complaining to a pear tree.
go up to that tree and just start venting everything.
What was the second one? I was caught up on kiss a donkey.
Kissing a donkey.
Jumping through a window.
if you jump through a window, you'll break something else and you won't worry about your toothache anymore.
What if you jumped out the window by a pear tree? Oh and just started complaining like that's like double.
Yeah Kiss a donkey.
Kissing a donkey.
Oh gross Sun worship in some cultures lost teeth are tossed to the Sun for strong replacements Okay So, you lose a tooth and you toss it up there into the sky and you say please send me a better stronger tooth Okay and Protection from witches In the Dark Ages people burned or buried teeth to keep them from witches who could use them for curses and That led to the tooth fairy tradition Really? Yes Weird Now how long did you believe in the tooth fairy? Oh, I don't know That's a good question Probably not very long.
I didn't either now.
I had so many older siblings.
Hmm that believing in anything like that was real hard.
Oh yeah, I'm sure they just gave it away or told you to grow up.
Santa's not real.
Right.
I was in, this is a little bit of a tangent, sort of.
Yeah.
I was in a training this week, last week, excuse me, called reasonable suspicion.
Okay.
And it was for supervisors so you could keep a lookout for people who are on drugs at work.
Oh, excellent.
The guy was a really good presenter.
But he said, you guys ever watch Scooby-Doo? Well Shaggy and Scooby, they were always looking for Scooby snacks.
He said, I hate to burst your bubble and your naivete, but they were talking about drugs.
And the woman, two people over for me, and she's like, she's in her 60s.
She sat back in her chair, like just, Like her bubble was burst.
The show was ruined for her.
And the girl sitting next to me, she said, said Lori's world just got rocked.
And I said, don't tell her about Santa Claus.
Her poor face.
She was just so shattered.
That's why Shaggy and Scooby were always eating.
They always had the munchies.
Scoob.
Do you want a Scooby snag? I want a Scooby snack now.
Anyway, that's it.
Okay.
My sources were YouTube, Google Gemini, dentalmuseum.com.
Of course, there's a dental museum.
Nature.com and Eilingtondentalclinic.com.
All right.
Okay, I'm ready.
This topic kind of follows along with the darkness of some of that.
Excellent.
Have you heard of the cadaver trial? The cadaver trial? No, maybe.
Maybe.
As I get into this, may have.
Maybe.
It may ring a bell.
Okay, here we go.
Okay, I'm ready.
The cadaver trial was a gruesome historical event known as the cadaver synod and it occurred in 897.
Not ringing any bells so far.
It's been a hot minute.
Yeah.
It was a trial of Pope Formosus by his successor, Pope Stephen the sixth.
Here's the crazy part.
Pope Formosus was already dead and buried before the trial began.
Of course you've heard of this.
I heard about this on Weird History.
Yes.
I was going to say you watch too many YouTube videos that cover shit like this.
I don't think they ever called it the cadaver trial.
Okay, go ahead.
So, Pope Stephen the sixth.
had the corpse of Pope Formosus exhumed nine months after he was buried and brought to the Basilica of St.
John Lateran in Rome for a formal ecclesiastical trial.
Death will not save you from this conviction.
Literally gonna dig up.
The decaying body was dressed in papal vestments and propped up on a throne.
A deacon was appointed to stand behind the corpse and speak on its behalf as its defense counsel.
How do think that guy got that joke? Hey Deacon, you were late.
Yeah, right.
I freaking hate you.
You get to defend the corpse.
Who do I hate the most? Oh, this guy.
I'm sleeping with this guy's wife.
I'm going to make him the corpse talker.
oh Pope Formosus was accused of various crimes, including illegally obtaining the papacy, breaking canon law and committing perjury, and was found guilty.
Well, you know.
His election and all of his official acts and ordinations, including Stephen the Sixth's own ordination as a bishop, were declared null and void.
How did he reconcile that? We'll get back to that.
The three fingers of Pope Formosus's right hand, typically used for giving papal blessings, were cut off.
The corpse was stripped of its papal vestments, dressed in the garments of a layman, and buried in a common grave, but later was once again exhumed and thrown into the Tiber River.
What? Yeah, that's the part I remember.
In the world.
He was dug up twice.
Twice.
This craziness provoked widespread public outrage in Rome.
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness.
Pope Stephen the sixth was overthrown, imprisoned.
This is my favorite part.
Strangled.
Oh.
Later that same year.
They're like, we're just going to choke this guy.
We hate him so much.
We're choking you out.
Oh my gosh.
You know who led that? The dude who had to be the corpse talker.
Yeah.
who had to stand behind that stinky corpse.
He's like, I will do it.
Just take my hands.
Let's do this.
Oh my goodness.
told me in a dream that this is what we should do.
The cadaver sin was later annulled and Pope Formosa's body was recovered and buried in St.
Peter's Basilica.
How did they recover his body from the Tiber river? Right? I don't, I, I don't believe that part of it.
And if, even if they did pull a body out of the river, how do they know it was his? Well, he didn't have three fingers.
Oh, good point.
That's one thing.
That's good a point.
And he was super duper decomposed.
He probably was like, can y'all just leave me alone? Oh my Lord.
The events remain one of the most macabre and shocking episodes in papal history, you think? The Cadaver Senate was driven almost entirely by the intense and violent political rivalry between two major imperial factions in Italy during the late ninth century.
Pope Stephen VI, who held the trial, was acting on behalf of his powerful political patrons.
Oh my.
The conflict was a struggle for control over the title of Holy Roman Emperor, which was conferred by the Pope, giving him incredible secular power and leverage.
The two main groups were the Spoletan faction and they backed the native Italian claim to the Imperial title and were the dominant power in central Italy at the time.
The Carol-- I'm going to botch this one.
The Carolingian faction, they supported the Germanic claim to the Imperial title and represented the traditional fragmented Carolingian lineage who were descendants of Charlemagne.
Oh.
Pope Formosa viewed the Spoletan faction as a threat to the papacy's independence.
So, he invited Arnulf of Carinthia.
Nice.
Carinthia, King of East Francia into Italy and crowned him Holy Roman Emperor in 896.
So, he chose the Germanic claim to the throne rather than the Italian claim to the throne.
And that was, they didn't like that.
Now, Pope Formosus actually died in 896, the same year he crowned this guy Holy Roman Emperor.
And the research I found said he likely died of natural causes, but people think he was poisoned because his end was so awful.
They said he was in tragic pain oh and just really really suffered but they can't prove it.
It was 896 people.
How do they know? Yeah they uh didn't have the kind of testing we have now.
No.
The Cadaver Senate was a calculated act by the Spoletan faction to achieve two main goals.
One to nullify the imperial coronation of uh King Arnulf of Corinthia and to discredit the opposition clergy.
Formosus had appointed and obtained numerous bishops and priests during his five-year papacy.
By declaring all of his ordinations invalid, Stephen VI created a massive crisis that forced all pro-Formosus clergy either out of their positions or required that they be reordained, thus purging the Church of political rivals and cementing the spoilt factions' control over the Church hierarchy.
What a mess.
So, Stephen.
So, I did a little more reading about that.
So, he was a bishop and he his wasn't nullified because he was reordained because they either were kicked out of their position or they were reordained.
So, he was reordained and then remained pope.
And there were a couple of posts before him.
So, they had a couple of people go in, but they didn't stay.
because of all the turmoil that was going on.
Yeah, that would be a shit show.
Yes, it was.
It was a nightmare.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
What a mess.
So, corrupt and they were always being killed.
And just making up rules left and right.
Yeah, just, oh yeah.
God told me.
Yeah, we're going to dig this guy up and you know, yeah, he was convicted.
Yeah.
We're going to dig this guy up and put him on trial.
You go get some vestments, you go get a throne.
We're going to set that guy up right here.
Don't worry about the smell.
What in the world? Can you imagine? No.
When people were like, what, who have we put on the throne? Oh, incidentally.
Oh, that's right.
We talked about that.
He was strangled.
uh Yeah.
He did not stay in office in office as the Pope for very long.
Yeah.
At all.
I think there might've been some mental issues.
Uh, yeah.
I wonder if that was his idea or if it was the Spoletan faction that was like, need, you need to make it very clear that everything this guy did, it's null and void.
I would love to know whose idea that was to hold a dead guy on trial.
And then be like, well, he did not deny it.
I bet the crowd was shocked.
What? Guilty? I just, oh yeah.
That was the craziest.
Okay, so I learned that from my nifty throwback quiz from New York Times.
Yeah.
It was like a little blurb, you know, that you had to put in the order of when it fell throughout history.
So, that was my impetus.
And then medievalist.
net, Wikipedia, and encyclopedia.com were my sources.
oh Wow, I was just blown away by that.
there have been so many papal controversies and things like that, that I think Weird History did like a supercut.
They've done so many different ones that then they put them all together.
And it's like two hours long.
Oh my gosh.
Just episode after episode after episode.
Like, hey, this guy did this and then this guy, you know, there's the Borgias.
There's, yeah, all those.
That was nuts.
Crazy.
Crazy.
Yikes.
But what about this one? What about it? This is a quick listing of our other searches from the past week that we didn't have time to discuss in this episode or we're just too damn boring.
Yeah, boring.
Wait till you hear my list.
It's so boring.
have so many.
Four things, not including IMDB.
Four things on my list.
What have I been doing? Mine was a lot.
I was just very curious, I suppose, about things.

And he actually stood up in court and screamed and had to be taken out of the courtroom.

but basically this, um, village every 10 years, a wizard comes and takes one of their girls.
Oh no.
And she disappears for 10 years.
Yeah.
And then she comes back to the village after being with him for 10 years.
ah And then she just, she doesn't stay very long.
She either leaves, and goes to another town and marries a rich lord or something, or goes to university.
Okay.
And that's all the village knows.
Is this set in modern day? No, no, no, no, no.
It's like, it's like a old Norwegian folk tale.
Okay.
Is the basis of it.
Okay.
Um, but it's like, you know, I mean, there are horses and carts and peasants and lords and kingdoms and.
Okay.
Um, And then he takes another person, then he takes another girl.
So, every 10 years, yeah, he'll come back and he'll get another girl.
And you just know, like if you're of a certain age on that 10-year rotation, you're up for grabs.
Oh boy.
And so all the girls come out, and they line up and he decides who he takes.
And so the story follows like the age group that he's getting ready to come and get, they know it's going to be this one girl.
Like they've known since she was born because she's beautiful.
She's smart.
Like she has all the characteristics.
and she doesn't get chosen, but her best friend does, who is a hot mess of a girl.
Oh, interesting.
always dirty.
She can't keep herself clean.
She's always saying the wrong thing and she's not, she's such a tomboy and like, know.
she was safe.
She thought she was safe and she got chosen and no one was ready for her to go.
So, no one had really said any goodbyes or anything like that.
And she just got taken.
Oh boy.
And so it's the whole, it's following her as she gets taken back to his castle.
Okay.
It's.
