Episodes

  1. Southern Baptist Pass Out

    I'm back and I haven't run out of tales! Hear how I passed out in a southern Baptist church as well as how I gravely embarrassed myself playing Rock Band solo. Voiceless inquiries and tip can be accessed here: https://linktr.ee/Jakecritcher

  2. Periwinkle Metal

    It may be periwinkle, but it's metal af. I've got another pet peeve regarding masks, I struggle to understand a fashion trend, birds make me feel uncomfortable, and Shrek invades the Marvel movies.

  3. Drive by Vomit

    Jake forgets he's wearing a mask in public... often. It leads to interesting situations. He also discovers ginormous road signs that may or may not be a waste of space. What this!? The big one this week is about rocket vomit! How appetizing!

  4. Joe, Jake, and the Bushel of Fear (Tale Submission by Joe!)

    Special story submission made possible by Talers like you. Thank you. Joe tells a tale from our childhood involving phobias. Gasp! Hear the sibling tale and be amazed!

  5. Evolution of Relationships

    Conversations between significant others changes drastically from the first impression phase. DJ Ming Ming is in the house and no one can understand him.

  6. Jake Releases the Beast

    Without trying, I withhold the knowledge of my marriage from people; my wife and I do drive-thru merry-go-round for the love of coupons; and I transform into a beast to stalk the forest in this week's episode.

  7. The Flash Mob Clothing Conundrum

    Wanna hear about how I borrowed different articles of clothing from different people for a wedding? Wait, really? Look no further as I share one of my not so shining moments with you!

  8. ST #18 Barista Gone Killer

    Google thinks I'm a lesbian (or wishes I was?), a representative from the cult who Let's Clyde Decide visits the shop with VERY DISTINCT INSTRUCTIONS for their order, and I may have murdered a person in this week's episode.

  9. ST #17 Five Things I've Noticed About Quarantine

    Here's five interesting observations I've made about this lockdown. Additionally, I get attacked for my comment on a news article, and become a guy named Jason for several months. Enjoy!

  10. ST #16 College is a Multiverse (Guest Host David Richter)

    My old college is the source of many of my strange stories. I'm not the only one who had these stories to tell, though. Dave Richter and I reminisce about the school we became good friends at and analyze the multiple timelines that is part of college. You're in for a treat in this special episode...

  11. ST #15 I Wrote Batman Skits?

    I've returned from the hollows where all the diseased people are held and I've got a special treat today. I've pulled an old Batman Skit I wrote from the archives and you get to hear it! Don't worry, they're funny. PLUS, a talk about the worst case of ignoring quarantine that I will ever see.

  12. ST #14 Scared by SCOOTS!

    Hear how I got legitimately spooked by a stranger! Also, I wish I had the confidence of those who bring in outside products! There's a short career update at the end if you want to hear about that too!

  13. ST #13 Caffeine High

    What happens when you drink five cold brews on shift? Is it possible to be a good customer at the place you work? These are the questions asked in this week's episode.

  14. Keepin' it Reel: Sonic the Hedgehog Spoiler-FREE

    I'm joined by guest host CuppaJoeGamer, sharing thoughts on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie with no spoilers. An enjoyable movie, but does it "ruin" Sonic? If you like what you hear from CuppaJoe, here's his website! cuppajoegamer.com It's full of video game reviews and blog posts about retro games…

  15. BONUS Keepin' it Reel: Sonic the Hedgehog Outtakes

    No ads! Just a couple minutes of CuppaJoeGamer and I talking nonsense before the show. Prepare to be entertained.

  16. ST #12 Coffee Spew

    I'm informed that regurgitated coffee beans are a good exfoliant, a film crew visits my job, and I complete an absurdly large order. Got a story? Tell me about it at anchor.fm/smalltales/message

  17. ST #11 Jeepers Peepers

    Club songs are nonsensical, some creature peeps at me through the dark (complete with a movie trailer), and a guy can't buy anything with a buck-fifty (the struggle). Tune in!

  18. ST #10 Traveling in Threes, Photoshoots, MURDER

    I'm back! This week; mysterious creatures who travel in threes, winning contests for photoshoots, and... MURDER... maybe.

  19. ST #9 The 2-Hour Order (and Exciting News!!)

    Listen in for some exciting developments! A lady also orders diet hot chocolate and we endure the horror of a two hour long order.

  20. Keepin' it Reel: 1917

    1917 doesn't hold your hand to convey a detailed story because it doesn't need to. Hear how, through expert camera work and detailed sets, 1917 puts you in the boots of a British soldier in a riveting drama.

  21. ST #8 Collecting Other People's Purses: Crime or Hobby?

    My worst nightmare realized; getting walked in on in the restroom by a stranger. Also, people storing their purse collection on my roof, and trying to weird my boss out with emojis.

  22. Keepin' it Reel: Rise of Skywalker

    Its familiarity may satisfy you as a long time Star Wars fan, but is it enough to keep the movie interesting for the newer fans?

  23. ST #7 You Hit My Car with Your Dog!

    A mechanic makes me feel dumb, a dog socks it to my car, and airpods make me feel invisible this week on Small Tales.

  24. Keepin' it Reel: Frozen 2

    Frozen 2 was an enjoyable movie, but could it have been more? Let's get reel.

  25. ST #6 I Obey Only Mariah Carey

    Talking over my wife, being shamed for asking about paychecks, my dog in space, evil laughs, and the ruler of men in this week's episode of Small Tales

  26. Small Tales #5

    I get a pet name from an old lady, life advice from a homeless man, and take a smoker's order in this week's episode of Small Tales.

  27. Small Tales #4

    A very real game of The Floor is Lava, police chase in an alley, and old people misuse Twitter in this week's episode of Small Tales.

  28. Small Tales #3

    Whistling gives you cancer? A guy dodges change, I can't go to the bathroom at work, and a creep scares my friend.

  29. Small Tales #2

    A guy secretly asks about salvation army, a lady tells me I'm killing the planet, and a guy takes the wrong order

    Story time! Wanna hear what weird things people have said to me as a barista? Boy are you in for a treat.
