Welp. We accidentally did another baby murder episode and we are really sorry. This week, Hannah tells Katy the story of the Harpe brothers, AKA: America’s first serial killers, AKA: the worst people you’ve ever met. The girls talk about all the reasons to hate these two assholes (there are plenty), while Hannah tries to bribe her way back into Katy’s good graces with cookies and wine (it only kinda works). This one is full of senseless murders, easy-to-break-out-of jails, and pretty satisfying ends.

Pour your drinks, grab a sweet treat, and join us for this twisted tale!
