23. Master Daddy & A Weak-A** Foo

This week Manny takes a mini hiatus so we have a very special and very little guest join us; Sara's girlfriend Angie. (She's actually like 5"1'.) Sara tells us the story of the tragic murders of Joseph Odom and Dr. Charles Scudder, otherwise known as the Corpsewood Manor Murders. Ange then tells us a story she found on Reddit about a close encounter with a murderer. Yikes! 

Don't worry, Manny is fine and will be back next episode!
