Oh baby things are getting hot n’ heavy this week as Spencer discusses some stories of people who discovered some *personal* items from the dearly departed, but first Madison is breaking down everything you need to know about viewing cremations. We’ve got an obituary for a guy who loved a 4-letter word, and one for a man with a wild collection. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminallllllls!
