You’ve asked, you’ve begged, you’ve pleaded…and we finally succumbed to your requests - episode 20 features the one and only Waverly Hills Sanitorium (not Sanitarium, we checked) as well as a pretty terrible guy named Gregory Scott Hale. In this episode we ask the important questions: Is it more acceptable to eat people if they’ve been cooked? Where can I find Jesus the biggest? What’s so traumatizing about a torso?Perhaps most importantly, we get our FIRST FAN MAIL but our excitement quickly devolves into concern when we can’t decode its mysterious symbols. (For real guys, if we go missing, blame this anonymous person in Utah.)Christine also rescues a bug, but Em doesn’t approve of that segment. And that’s why we drink! Learn more about your ad choices.

Then, Christine tells Em and Deirdre about teenage murderer Christine Paolilla, who had the fun nickname “psycho” and may or may not have ripped her weave off amidst her high-school angst.  This episode is brought to you by unWine.

DISCLAIMER: this episode is very graphic. And very disturbing.Em must have known Christine was tired of being the bad guy, because she went NEXT LEVEL with her disturbing story. No joke, DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN LISTEN TO EPISODE 18. And if you do, at least put some money aside for their future therapy sessions. (Oh and if you’re wondering, this week’s topics are the LaLaurie Mansion and the Craigslist Killer.)
