The Freak Show

Sad news, freaks: this will be the last episode for a while from The Freak Show! We'll be back at some point, but maybe slow this one down a bit and really soak it up.

First up, Lauren highlights a therapist she will NOT be emulating in her new career: Chris Bathum aka The Rehab Mogul aka a very bad man. 

Then Megan keeps the man-are-terrible train going with the wild story of Victoria Cilliers surviving her husband's MULTIPLE murder attempts.

Men are terrible.

Another day, another opportunity to freak. 

Megan kicks things off with the story of Bart Whitaker, a not-so-smart wannabe criminal mastermind. 

Then Lauren lightens things up, as she does, with a bunch of weird and obscure sports featured at the Olympics' younger brother, The World Games.
