Don’t they have dental care in prison?! Christy Martin’s horrifying marriage & incredible escape from a murderous monster
In this week’s podcast episode, Becky & Merie discuss champion boxer Christy Salters Martin’s abusive-turned-homicidal marriage to piece of human garbage Jim Martin, as told in the Netflix documentary, “Untold: Deal with the Devil.” Along the way, they answer the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:
Who amongst us demands proof of life photos of our…pets?
How on earth do your hosts end up talking about taking a dump on your sexual partner?
How do you keep Merie in a bad relationship? (Hint: Stop at the HEB.)
Are you a big, romantic gesture person? If so, Becky has some words for you.
