Episode description
In this episode, we spill the tea on Secret Societies (get it?). First, Chris talks about the exclusive club and summer retreat for rich, white, men: The Bohemian Club and Bohemian Grove. Then, Cody dives into Opus Dei, the so-called Catholic Mafia made famous by The DaVinci Code. Next, Chris discusses the Skull and Bones, a society from Yale University that boasts a number of conspiracies, including assassinations and bombs. Creep of the Week goes into some fun and strange traditions from different colleges. This week’s drinks are DaVinci Chianti and Fre Brut.Advisory: 0:00s-0:12s
