So the king and his friends must travel through the winter weather in disguise to learn just what this household is worshiping in the woods\\u2014and what they find is something altogether more ridiculous than they could have imagined.\\nThis one\\u2019s unlike anything else we\\u2019ve read on the podcast so far\\u2014it\\u2019s got a well-endowed horse, a boy who\\u2019s given to shouting dirty poetry, an open-mike of verse-making at the farmhouse, three men who all choose the same disguise, and a dog who\\u2019s hungry for a good time.
