We’re back baby! This week Spencer fills us in on some tombstones filled with liquor during the prohibition era! Next, Madison is taking it back to the old days with some wild extreme embamings. We’ve got one obituary for a total glamour-puss and one that is simply electrifying! Oh, and we didn’t forget to top things off with some dumb.ass.criminalllllls!
