Summary

Whether it's deadly literary references, sticky cows, or extremely inappropriate eulogies, the stories of Sinbad have it all...as long as by "it all" you're looking for a story of how a rich (and, let's face it, not-so-smart) guy for whom everything pretty much always works out. It's like Mr. Magoo without the nearsightedness and with much, much more impalement and cannibalism. The creature the creature this week is a great excuse to keep your house well-stocked with red peppers and pet crabs. ---------- Sponsors: Blue Apron: For fun, fresh ingredients and recipes delivered to your house weekly, check out http://www.blueapron.com/legends to get your first three meals free with free shipping.

0:00.0	This week, on the Myths and Legends podcast, we're continuing the story of Symbad the Sailor,
0:05.2	and we'll learn why you should not give piggyback rides to Strange Men You Meet in the Forest,
0:10.4	and we'll meet the epicly dangerous and dangerously epic mountain of the apes, which is mountain
0:17.5	with apes. The creature this time is the reason why you'll want to give people backrobes with hot peppers.
0:22.8	This is the Myths and Legends podcast, Episode 71b, Snake Eyes.
0:36.0	This is a podcast where I tell stories from folklore and mythology. Some are incredibly
0:40.3	popular stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories you might
0:44.5	not have heard, but really should. Today's episode is brought to you by Detour. I want to tell you
0:49.3	about a new app that's all about not looking at your phone, and instead looking at the world.
0:54.4	It's called Detour. They've got 150 immersive audio walks from Radio Lab, Ken Burns,

1:34.1	money to sit around and listen to the stories of his personal adventures. They were talking about
1:39.4	adventure two out of seven, where Simbat was once again shipwrecked and left in a desolate valley
1:45.2	that stretched on for miles and miles. Oh yeah, and that valley was filled with giant hungry snakes.
1:57.1	Simbat swallowed hard. He looked at the approaching snakes. He was a rich human merchant. They were
2:03.7	vicious hungry reptiles. There wasn't any reason they all couldn't get along. The snakes thought
2:09.4	otherwise and gave chase. And Simbat ran, and more and more snakes began streaming out of the rocks
2:15.7	around him. And yeah, it was exactly like that clip from plan d'Earth too. I linked it in the
