Could a cake really reveal a witch? Step into the absurd world of historical witch trials as we blend Captain Morgan, White Claw, and a sprinkle of skepticism in our latest episode. We kick off with our weekend shenanigans, from disappointing fight nights to the quirky ways we record our sessions—sometimes from the confines of a closet! With playful banter, we set the stage for a movie night with "The Crucible," while also straightening out some old misconceptions about the geographic spread of the infamous Salem trials.

As we shake up our drink concoctions, we sift through the ridiculous tests like witch cakes and devil's marks, examining the ludicrous ways people justified witch hunts. Through humor and curiosity, we explore the grim realities faced by those accused, including the tragic losses and harsh conditions they endured. Personal stories about our fascination with all things witchy sprinkle the episode, as we laugh at the logic—or lack thereof—behind these historical practices.

The lives of the accused come into sharp focus as we tell tales of Elizabeth Howe, George Burroughs, and others who fell victim to hysteria and personal vendettas. Reflecting on societal pressures of the past, we draw parallels to modern issues like wrongful convictions. And with a comedic twist, we compare chaotic market encounters of the 1600s to today's shopping blunders, inviting listeners to ponder how hysteria and confusion once ruled—and how they might still influence us today.
