    30. Gary's Improv Bar & An Ode To Silly McDilly

    Send a text Milestone episodes deserve something special, and our 30th dive into the Three Word Story universe delivers with a twist that takes us from childhood commercial audition fails to outrageous fictional bar concepts. Dylan kicks things off by revealing his short-lived career as a child actor, sharing how despite his impressive crying skills, he never managed to book a commercial while his sister succeeded. This rare glimpse into personal history sets the tone for an episode filled with unexpected revelations and creative storytelling. The main concept emerges as both hosts interpret their challenge differently – finding three words from locations with interesting names. Dylan creates "Small Talks," a fictional bar where small talk is forbidden and patrons must follow bizarre rules including confession penalties and the mysterious "buffalo rule." Meanwhile, James chooses The Milk Thistle in Bristol, where he held his wedding reception during Pride weekend, creating a serendipitous celebration he recounts with genuine fondness. The episode's highlight comes in the form of an extended improv battle between James and fictional bar owner "Gary," showcasing rapid-fire character work as James transforms into everything from a German spy to a squirrel on trial for nut theft. This culminates in an original poem about "Silly McDilly" that perfectly captures the show's blend of childish humor and surprising storytelling craftsmanship. As we close our 30th adventure, we reflect on how far we've come since those early, rougher episodes. Whether you're a longtime listener or just discovering us, this milestone showcases everything that makes Three Word Story a unique comedy experience.

    29. Krampus Talks Business & Finding Sobriety Through Ayahuasca

    Send a text What happens when Christmas Krampus decides to become an entrepreneur? Or when a fictional character embarks on an ayahuasca journey to confront his vices through celebrity roasts? Find out in this wildly imaginative return episode of Three Word Story. After a brief hiatus, James and Dylan reconnect with their trademark improvisational energy, swapping tales of broken locks and penguin encounters before diving into their creative premise. Using the What3Words app as inspiration, they craft two distinct narratives that showcase their comedic chemistry and willingness to embrace the absurd. The first story transports listeners to a startup event in Poznan, Poland, where Christmas Krampus—traditionally known for punishing naughty children—pitches unconventional business ideas. His "naughty toys for naughty boys" concept features video games that control children rather than vice versa, and a Tamagotchi that physically affects its owner. The negotiation for "100,000 fingernails" in exchange for equity heightens the surreal humor that defines the show. The second narrative follows Timmy's journey to sobriety through an ayahuasca ceremony in Panama City. Under the guidance of a shaman, Timmy confronts manifestations of his addictions—alcohol (Johnny Depp), cocaine (Conor McGregor), and marijuana (Snoop Dogg)—by delivering increasingly creative insults. This segment brilliantly balances comedy with an underlying message about confronting personal demons. What makes this episode particularly special is how it seamlessly blends outlandish scenarios with surprising moments of wisdom, culminating in the shaman's profound observation that "Cool isn't a blunt, a blender or a bar fight. Cool is being okay with being uncool." Join us for this uniquely entertaining return to form, and subscribe to hear what three words will inspire our next improvisational adventure.

    28. Slimothy Raps & Elf With a Sore Anus: A Quest for Relief

    Send a text There's something seriously wrong when you put your underpants on backwards in the morning, but that discomfort pales in comparison to what awaits our hosts in this wildly imaginative episode of Three Word Story. We journey to South Africa to discover the Tokoloshi, a mischievous mythical creature from Zulu and Xhosa folklore that spreads misfortune and can only be kept at bay by elevating your bed on bricks. Dylan shares childhood memories of this cultural belief before James counters with his own mythical creation from "Turkmenistan" – a preposterous being that's half turkey, half man, and half Stan (yes, that's one and a half beings, because mythical creatures don't follow mathematical rules). The episode transforms when we meet Slimothy, an aspiring rapper with questionable talents who attempts to freestyle using our three words: ticking, toolbar, and ample. His increasingly confident performances build to an unexpected showdown that leaves everyone questioning their sanity and accents. But the true heart of this episode emerges when James transforms Dylan into an elven squire suffering from a painful anus. What follows is an epic quest complete with a noble steed named Hooves, enchanted forests filled with deadly riddles, rivers guarded by creatures that turn you to stone, and ultimately, the Cave of No Return where the mythical amulet of Anusol awaits. With dice rolls determining fate at every turn, this unpredictable adventure showcases the wild improvisational spirit that makes Three Word Story unlike anything else in your podcast feed. Join us next week when we flip our format – choosing three words ourselves and using them to discover a random location that must be incorporated into our story. What three words would you choose?

    27.Napoleon Visits The Future & Nuremberg Comment Box

    Send a text Step into a world of underground wonders as James and Dylan embark on an improvisational journey to discover hidden civilizations beneath our feet. Using the What Three Words app as their guide, they transport listeners to mysterious caves with fascinating histories and supernatural connections. The adventure begins with James recounting his recent visit to Team Lab Phenomena in Abu Dhabi, where immersive digital art installations create magical experiences—though somewhat marred by holiday crowds. His vivid descriptions of interactive projections and impossibly black spheres set the stage for our exploration of other mysterious spaces. When searching for underground lairs, Dylan takes us to Ecuador's Cueva de los Teos, speculating about connections to El Dorado myths and the possibility of civilizations living deep within Earth's core. Meanwhile, James shares his personal experiences at Wookiee Hole in Somerset, England, where childhood fears of an animatronic witch gave way to adult encounters with unexplainable phenomena that left him questioning his skepticism about the supernatural. The episode features two brilliant improvisational segments that showcase the hosts' quick wit and historical imagination. First, Dylan transforms into time-traveling Napoleon Bonaparte, who's eager to set the record straight about his height (he insists he's 5'7") and his numerous romance novels. Then James crafts an alternative history where social media platforms like "Instagram" and "YouTube" were actually invented in 1662 Nuremberg through mass-produced pencils and sheep-skin scrolls—complete with the same toxic comment sections we know today. Whether you're fascinated by underground mysteries, historical reimaginings, or just love spontaneous comedy, this episode delivers with the perfect blend of research and absurdity.

    26. National Holiday Remodels & Mr Phillis Masseuse Master

    Send a text Prepare for absolute chaos as James and Dylan set the podcast on fire with their most frenetic, sweat-soaked episode yet. What begins as a simple challenge to create stories from three random words quickly spirals into a masterclass of improvised madness spanning gladiators, genies, and holiday reimaginings. The journey kicks off with nostalgic reminiscing about the 90s TV phenomenon Gladiators, complete with character names from both UK and South African versions. Dylan shares his thoughts on the new Lilo and Stitch movie before the hosts dive into their main challenge: selecting locations where they might find genies, generating three random words, and crafting stories from them. James takes us on an unexpected educational expedition to "Papua New Genie" (his deliberately misspelled version of Papua New Guinea), revealing fascinating facts about this island nation with 840 languages. His deep dive into online reviews for a small lodge becomes an absurdist commentary on internet rating culture, as he questions why people giving five-star written reviews would only award three stars. Meanwhile, Dylan explores how holidays could be improved, proposing that Valentine's Day should be split into two celebrations: a traditional one for couples and "V-Day" for singles looking to connect. His holiday "remodels" extend to combining Groundhog Day with April Fool's, creating a system where a groundhog's behavior determines when people can pull pranks, making the day unpredictable and fresh. The rising temperature in the studio becomes a character itself as both hosts repeatedly mention how they're "sweating their twats off" in the heat. This physical discomfort adds another layer to the already chaotic energy, culminating in James role-playing phone calls to Dylan's fictional "Big D's University" with increasingly ridiculous course inquiries. Subscribe now to hear next week's equally unhinged adventure as the hosts search for entrances to underground civilizations. Trust us – you won't find another podcast that combines educational tidbits, holiday reformation, and sweaty improv quite like Three Word Story.

    25. A Komodo Dragon's Luck & World Cheerleading Cheers

    Send a text What happens when a Komodo dragon, a Chinese exchange student, and a few clueless tourists cross paths in a Bangkok nightclub? According to Dylan, it leads to a multi-million yuan casino empire in Beijing. Welcome to the wonderfully absurd world of Three Word Story, where fictional business ventures spring from random locations and three arbitrary words. Fresh off their sunburned and boulder-bruised two-week hiatus, James and Dylan take their entrepreneurial imagination to Asia. Dylan weaves an elaborate tale of how he and three companions—Peter Ink, Glenn Layers, and David Dragon—leveraged a lizard bite into political capital with China's "Minister of Infrastructure and Strategic Amusements." The story takes an unexpected comedic turn when Dylan's pronunciation of "glares" as "glayers" becomes the episode's running joke, revealing his tendency to add extra sounds to certain English words. Meanwhile, James develops an international cheerleading competition based in Phuket, Thailand (which he consistently mispronounces to hilarious effect). Rather than focusing on athletic ability, his cheerleading business emphasizes culturally-specific chants and audience engagement. The episode reaches its peak as James performs three increasingly outrageous routines for South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States—each packed with stereotypes ranging from vuvuzelas and safari references to Brexit jokes and Donald Trump worship. Between the mispronunciations, cultural stereotypes, and completely implausible business plans, this episode perfectly captures the show's signature blend of improvised storytelling and friendly banter. Listen now, and discover why sometimes saying "fuck it" (or as James would say, visiting Phuket) leads to the most entertaining business concepts you'll never invest in.
