**CONTENT WARNING: RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT**

In this episode Becky & Merie wade into the murky waters of Japanese hostess culture and dive into Lucie Blackman’s terrifying disappearance that led to a serial rapist who preyed on women for decades and an unexpected resolution to Carita Ridgeway’s cold case. Along the way, they address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:

Can you die from…mothball fumes?

Does Becky have a verb in that sentence or does Merie have an arm growing out of her back?

Which one of your hosts is destined to listen to a book on tape while checking…MapQuest?

Based on evidence, is Becky or Merie your…grandma?! 👵 (could be neither!)

Are your hosts heightists or tallists? (could be both!)

Come for Becky’s country music version of “Please Please Please”. Stay for the documentary where things repeatedly get taken from Liam Neeson.

See the incredible fringe-y ‘90s bangs of hostesses in an ad seen here.
