Welcome to Mama Mystery. I am your host, Kelly. And I am your co-host. Austin. And today is a Patreon

exclusive episode. Once a month, we give an episode exclusively to our patrons. So that is what this

where you can subscribe to our Patreon membership for as low as $5 a month. And you get all those

extra benefits. You get the extra exclusive episode once per month.

To be honest, we really appreciate it. You also, and we also, of course, appreciate it,

but you also get stickers mailed to you every month, customized stickers, some that I make,

some that I find that I love. And you also get scripts to every episode, and also, one more thing,

you get early release of all these episodes.

You get a lot of cool, cool, cool stuff.

So it's something to consider, but if you want to hear us talk about the Dee-Dee and Gypsy Rose Blanchard story,
