Geoffs, have you or someone you know been injured by an umbrella? Statistically speaking….probably! Spencer will explain. Afterwards Madison is ditching the victorian era to tell us a crazy tale from the Georgian era that’ll have you screaming. We’ve got an obituary for somebody who met a terrible demise, and one for a gal who got married out of convenience, and of course, we didn’t forget, we’ve got some dumb.ass.criminalllllls!
