The Dybbuk Box is just unassuming wine cabinet or is it? It gained notoriety when it was listed on eBay as a haunted item, said to contain a malevolent spirit. In this episode we explore the legends and real-life experiences tied to the box. We discuss its connection to Jewish folklore, and Post Malone and we question whether it's truely cursed or a result of unsettling coincidences. You decide!

Nursery rhymes are stories or songs for children…but once you find out the backstories of some of them you start to wonder what they were thinking?! Many are about death, love affairs or even have racist undertones! None of them are child appropriate!

If you are an 80s kid this one will take you right back! This isn't the trend that is terrible as much as the people who surround the trend that are terrible! Genius Marketing made the Cabbage Patch Kid the must have toy for kids in 1983, but the company wasn't prepared for how well their marketing worked. The demand was much greater than the supply and people lost their minds!
