Reading some weird news stories from Las Vegas, Cassie also pulls another wormnado! Grab a cold one and join us for happy hour in your least supportive bra and comfiest sweatpants. Minimal research maximum ridiculousness.

NOTE: Cassie’s therapist DID NOT actually “prescribe” wine and a table butter shaped like a turkey to get through the holiday, that was Cassie’s INTERPRETATION and a joke.

We are talking Vegas baby, starting with the Mob. Skimming, gambling, sports bets, murder, you name it the mob had their hand in it. First on the scene in the 40’s, Ben “Bugsy” Siegel, seeing an opportunity to make money and reinvent himself, he started building Vegas’s first hotel/casino resort. Bugsey’s time in Sin City didn’t last long but what he started led to the Mob controlling Vegas for the next 40 years.

Drinking a Honey Plum Bourbon. Cheers!!

It’s Spooky Season, Witches! Get ready for stories of real life horror movie tropes over the next few episodes. Starting with two of our favorite macabre icons Vampires and Werewolves. In 2011, a bloodthirsty man was caught brutally attacking strangers on the street in Turkey. Manuel Romasanta had some sinister quirks, but was being a werewolf one of them?
