121: OBITCH life in plastic, it's fantastic!

In our first episode back since our little unplanned ‘hiatus’ we’re feeling better (and more deranged) than ever! Madison is breaking down some inventions you didn’t know were invented by funeral industry professionals, and Spencer is filling us in (literally) with Plastination! We’ve got an obituary for someone tired of the bullsh*t and a new scathing one for the arsenal! We didn’t forget…we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminalllllllls!!
