b'We told you we had some surprises in store! This week, BSP drops the Livestream episode we did for Pride48. In it, we talk mass hysteria, a phenomena that sounds straightforward, but in reality, is crazy bizarre. For example, Cody\\u2019s first story is about an epidemic of meowing and biting nuns (you read that right). After that, Chris talks about the Dancing Plague of 1518. Cody then takes us to India, where he discusses cosmic face scratchers. After that, Chris tells a very weird story about genital retraction, and then finishes up with the infamous case of the toxic Gloria Ramirez. Drinks/food in this episode are Coke and Mixed Nuts.
