The Bad Wife

In this wildly entertaining episode of Tales of Bedlam, hosts Dustin (Sofa Sitter) and Micah (Knob Twister) unravel the twisted and comical Slavic folktale, “The Bad Wife.” What starts as a story of a notoriously disobedient and contrary woman quickly plunges—literally—into the bizarre. When her husband discovers a bottomless pit, the tale takes a hilariously dark turn as the wife ends up tormenting even the demons of the underworld.

With their signature banter and offbeat humor, the hosts explore the absurdity of pancake revenge, pit physics, and the surprisingly entrepreneurial results of demonic torment. Expect witty commentary, Slavic mythology tidbits, and enough sarcasm to make the devils weep.

Whether you’re a folklore fan, a lover of dark humor, or just in need of a laugh, this episode serves up a feast of twisted storytelling. Maybe don’t make two gallons of pancakes in response.
