Get in Geoffs, we’re going shopping…at the mourning warehouse! Yes it’s a real thing and yes Madison cannot wait to breakdown these unusual department stores, but first Spencer is answering the question: how long can you wait to bury a body? The answer might surprise you…especially if you live in North Dakota. We’ve got an obituary for an innovative prankster, one from the roaring twenties, and of course we’ve got some dumb.ass.criminallllllllls!
