48 | The Oakville Blobs and the Toxic Lady
Episode description
SPOOKY SEASON continues on the Wine Times Mysteries, y'all! This week, Katy covers two more medical mysteries - the Oakville Blobs and the death of Gloria Ramirez, who has been dubbed the Toxic Lady, since several people treating her fainted and got sick. 1994 WAS A STRANGE TIME, OKAY? Contemplate your mortality~ Spooooky~
Drinking game this week: every time MM says EW during the Oakville Blobs story, take a conservative sip of your drink. What would you do if weird jello blobs started raining down? Katy's brother should do marketing for Jell-O. When encountering a medical anomaly, make sure to account for the amount of smooth-brained women involved. Pro-tip: DON'T GOOGLE THESE, Y'ALL.
Also, Katy got MM into Stardew Valley, so we're branching out from Animal Crossing corner. Be advised if this is a thing for you - because it was relevant to the discussion, Katy didn't cut out her bones snapping at the end of the episode. There are a few knuckle cracks. Bones ASMR ahoy!
