Episode 60 – Joy to the World

December 23, 2019

To balance out our last episode’s bleakness, this week we bring you joy! While sad things do happen around the holidays, miraculous things also occur. And so, in this holiday special, we are sharing miracles that happened during the season. First, Cody talks about the Hermanstorfers, a family that died and lived on Christmas Eve. Then, Chris shares the story of Donna Molnar, a woman who froze, outside, for days, and managed to survive. She’s like the Minnesota Ice Woman (throwback!) on crack. Next, Cody goes back to The Great Depression to discuss the HatBox Baby, an infant who was miraculously found in the middle of the desert. Finally, Chris enlightens us on all the happenings around the miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Instead of Creep of the Week, we exchange fun gifts (pictures to come!). This week's drinks are mulled wine and Gerfjeisjlsfijne cookies (spelling pending).
