Robert's Rules of Ordering
Discount Storytime
12/16/24 • 18 min
Ever found yourself stuck in a restaurant with a menu thick enough to be a doorstop, only to be told your order needs to pass a vote? Welcome to Robert's Burgers, where our pursuit of a meal turned into a comedy of errors fit for the stage. This episode of Discount Storytime takes you along for the ride as my family and I embark on a quest for the best hamburger, only to be halted by a menu the size of a novella and a waiter who moonlights as a parliamentary procedure enthusiast.

UPDATE: Podcast Name Change
Discount Storytime
08/22/24 • 1 min
Hello listeners,
This podcast will be changing names from "Tales from the Scamverse." This name was based on the book of short stories (available on Amazon kindle) from which most of the first episode stories came from.
As the show has evolved, the concept of the "Scamverse" limits other stories I want to share with you. The podcast format will be the same. One story, same satrical and at times dark humor, and a message from our sponsor.
Our new name is "Discount Storytime", which has been tested with over 30 people, and every one of them yelled "Who the Hell are you?" and "Get out of my yard!" So I think it's a hit!
If you have questions, comments, or thoughts, please feel free to write to me by clicking on the link in the show notes. Also, an email address for "Discount Storytime" will be coming soon and I'll append it to this show note and future notes.
NOTE: The show email is now [email protected]
Thanks, and have a great day!
Coffee

Flip and Flap
Discount Storytime
09/09/24 • 19 min
This week's story is “Flip and Flap: Dream Home Helpers” They help you turn your “now” home in to your “dream” home. And they’re also cousins or something. Although each episode of Discount Storytime is standalone, this episode occurs after the events in taco meat fountain- episode number ten. You may want to listen to that first, but you don't have to. This story probably won't make sense either way. Our sponsor for today is the newest tell all biography "Buttered On Both Sides."
