Hey Nerds! This week Samantha is talking about the terrible loss of Nikki Kuhnhausen and Sarah is going to tell us the not-at-all frustrating story of the murder of Irene Garza. During chit chat, we cover school pictures, school taxes, and how Samantha handled Covid. Hint hint: not great! Heads up: Samantha is still at the end of Covid while recording this, so she still sounds really stuffy. She’s much better now, thanks for asking.
Trigger warnings for this week include: death of a minor, discussion surrounding sexual abuse in churches.
