We’re getting all kinds of scandalous this week Geoffs. First up we’ve got a Facebook marketplace casket scandal that had us pissed, and then Madison took us through the age old question of whether or not mistresses are entitled to any of the estate! We’ve got an obituary for a real earnest, or rather Ernest man, and one for a gal who wore many hats. Oh, we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminalllllls let’s go!

Hello Geoffs! This week Spencer was in the Holiday spirit, breaking down some toys you should absolutely never have under the tree or there might just be some deadly consequences. But first, Madison is giving us the gift of patents for some pretty macabre inventions. We’ve got an obituary for the worst Christmas ever, and one that left us with some questions. We’ve also, of course, got some dumb.ass.criminallllllls!
