First Bec (they/them) tells us about the very first child actor to hit it big in Hollywood! Working hard since he was a baby, Jackie Coogan starred in films with Charlie Chaplin, was the highest paid actor in Hollywood, and was the first to become successful from marketing himself. Unfortunately, his parents had other ideas of where his earnings should go.

Next Adam (he/him) tests his friendship with Bec by telling the scariest story that also happened in their own backyard! Home invasions, sleep watchers, let's just say you're going to want the lights on for this one.
