This episode brings a sinister twist to groupthink. What do you mean you and your friend band together to off people!? Girl, get a hobby!
Think you know all about the "Manson Family"? Think again. And buckle up for Christmas in July with four teenagers who went on a killing spree to... deck the halls. Rude.
Brandon wants to escape the heat so he's bringing us Christmas in July with "The Downtown Posse" that went on a Christmas killing spree. Hello, West Side Story? Except, not at all. Brandon really wants you to know that, above all else, this story is set in Dayton, Ohio. Two couples, estranged from their families, formed a gang and lost their marbles. In the process, they irrevocably ruined Christmas in 1992 for a lot of people in... Dayton, Ohio. Did we mention this story is set in Dayton, Ohio?
Next, Kevin is introducing us to someone named Charles Manson. We don't know, we doubt you've ever heard of him. 🤓 He's a very niche psychopath. But whatever you know about Charles Manson and his cult of devotees, you probably don't know too much about his victims. So today, Kevin's focusing on bringing the spotlight to those that are often forgotten. Oh also, yeast infections? Get your dutch ovens! Mama's making bread! (We know that doesn't make sense, you just have to listen to the episode to be in on the joke, mmkay?)
