Well well well it must be Thursday! This week Madison is giving us the horrifying history of crash test dummies (hint: cadavers are definitely involved) but first, Spencer is spicing things up with some sensual ghost stories. We’ve got an obituary for a sweet man who wanted to help, and one with a major plot twist. OH, and we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminallllllls!
