Please don't let your kids listen to this or they might turn out like us.

Thanks for joining us.

I can't wait to talk about this week's topic. I know this one was really hard to put together because there's so much

0:37.0

information out there and whittling it down to just try to get the most

0:41.3

relevant information while still keeping all the really

0:44.3

juicy macabre aspects of it was was kind of a challenge that it's a good story and it's as

0:50.1

old as methusela. Maybe literally.

0:53.0

Johanna, do you believe in curses?
