Ever wondered why people started setting dead people on fire? We sure have! Our therapist says this isn’t a healthy thing to wonder, but what do they know? They haven’t studied ANY of the history of cremation, so we aren’t super inclined to take their opinion on this. This isn’t a fun episode, per se, so just… go in knowing that. Well. Most of it I…

This week, Nash and Angel watch Joseph “Daddy” Stalin learn all about karma in its best, truest form: an ancient tomb curse. Because if you’re in shock about having your bff Hitler betray you in the middle of a world war, well then, the only thing to do is unbury an centuries-old crypt and take a skull home. Right?

This week's episode is a bit more serious than our usual work. We talk about how the U.S. made another boo boo in Latin America, specifically on the same island they made one in the previous episode.

In this episode, Angel and Nash take a pottery class to communicate with local ghost singles in their area. It gets weird pretty fast.
