Put on your death hats Geoffs this week Spencer is taking us to some macabre victorian night clubs, turns out those victorians were a little spookier than we thought. Then, bust out your shovels because Madison is giving us the lowdown on time capsules…some of which were probably better off staying buried. We’ve got an obituary for a big boy and so much more, and of course we’ve got some dumb.ass.criminallllllls!

Happy Thursday Geoffs, we’ve got quite the show for you this week! Spencer starts us off with a little lesson on naming a baby after a deceased loved one, also known as a necronym. Then Madison takes us through some nutty inventors who found themselves victims of their own creations. We’ve got an obituary for a sugar daddy that was anything but sweet, and one for someone who wanted to ensure his story got told. OH we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminallllllllls!
