Summary

On episode #164, Linds leads us into The Shallow End with the grim tale of a mortician who found a creative way to cremate bodies more “efficiently.” It’s simple science, actually. Why cremate just one body at a time when you can fit 10 or 12 bodies in the same oven? What could possibly go wrong? Then JG takes us to the shores of Texas’ Gulf Coast, where a young man named Chad saw something so sweet wash up on the beach, he just had to plant a big ol’ kiss on it! Young men in their early 20s, fueled by a thirst for summer adventures and a few too many beers, equals guaranteed hilarity! Slather on the sunscreen and join us in The Shallow End!
