OH MY GAAAAAAAAWD GEOFFS! You’re in for it this week as we talk about a woman who allegedly kept her husbands body in their living room for 9 months! Madison then takes us through some wonderfully petty epitaphs. We’ve got an obituary with a callout, one that was sent in by a lovely Geoff and of course, we’ve got some dumb.ass.criminalsssssss!
