Dry Your Tears with Piles of Cash: The Cocoanut Grove Fire

Dry Your Tears with Piles of Cash: The Cocoanut Grove Fire

This week, Ava has concerns about Black Friday, we revisit Momo and raise theories on Jerry's whereabouts, Brianne's villain origin story is finally revealed, fan favorite funeral potatoes appear on the bracket, a man whose name means fox stands up to the mafia, a sexy move with a lightbulb goes terribly wrong, we get mad at hospitals and float some alternatives to blood donation, a young man gets Final Destination-ed, Melanie loves mushy bananas in her mouth, and Brianne has on-air beef with her mom.

Content warnings: alcohol, death by shooting, building fire with mass fatalities, very graphic burn injuries/deaths, dismemberment, respiratory failure, death of adult children.
