In the conclusion of the original Aladdin story, there's the meteoric rise of Aladdin, who is definitely not using magic to do any of this. Really. Will people just stop asking him that, already? I mean, so what if he made the most magnificent palace in the world overnight, and that it randomly disappeared. Nothing at all suspicious about that.
In the creature of the week, there's shapeshifting dolphin people. Here's the picture mentioned in the show...I could see it:

Hi Jason
Love the show. I am starting at the beginning. When listening to one of the Ali Baba stories you mentioned who did not know why he put a sword between him and Ruby when they were sleeping in the bed in the basement.
Putting a sword between a man and a woman who are sleeping together is a tradition that proves nothing will happen. Ali Baba tells Ruby that he means her no dishonor. By putting a sword between them, he is proving that he will not make an advances. Because who wants to fool around with a pointy sword in the way. I guess they cannot be moved. ( hear snarky voice)
Love the show!
Thanks! I figured it was something like that. It happens later with a different story and again (in a story I haven’t covered yet) with Lancelot. I couldn’t find any sources that clearly stated that, and didn’t want to mislead people with a guess.
Hey man!
Love the podcast so far!
Just wanted to know what the song is at 26:15 of Aladdin 2B?
Cheers
Let me dig out the old Audacity files 🙂 This was made before I kept track of these sorts of things
