Why Are People This Way?

EP 61

This episode is a doozy! It seems that there were more interpretations to this topic than Sam and Jenn thought because they went in very different directions.

Let’s start with Mary Toft. She was 24 or 25 in 1726 and was pregnant with what was supposed to be her 4th child. Unfortunately, a few months later she miscarried her baby. Then a few months after that, even though she seemed to miscarry, she claims she went into labor. A neighbor goes to assist and instead of a baby Mary births parts of multiple animals! The long and short is that Mary births multiple rabbits, King George gets involved, and a few people feel really stupid in the end.

Then we have Chad and Lori Daybell. Chad seemed to have very specific beliefs when it came to religion - like the kind where he has a direct line to Jesus and is told when the end of days is going to be. He later meets Lori and magically the two of them can now speak to Jesus and they are also bestowed the power to see who is possessed by demons, they are also charged with saving 144,000 on doomsday.

So there is a lot going on today and we hope you enjoy it!
