Can you believe it? It\\u2019s our 100th episode! Holy sexy times! Thank you to everyone who joined us on this perilous journey. We hope you\\u2019ll stay with us for many episodes to come. If you don\\u2019t, we\\u2019ll send a Bob Moss after you. Or maybe a juvenile bigfoot.\\xa0
\\n
\\nIn honor of our 100th episode, we are re-doing our very cringe-y first episode! Note: We\\u2019re not re-releasing the first episode. We\\u2019re completely redoing it. So sit back, relax, and let us tell you for a second time about the crimes that got us interested in lawsuits.\\xa0
\\n
\\nKristin starts us off with the story of Robert Courtney, a Kansas City pharmacist who was caught diluting cancer drugs. Over the course of several years, Robert diluted everything from chemotherapy drugs to fertility treatments. His horrific crimes affected an estimated 4,200 patients.\\xa0
\\n
\\nThen Brandi tells us about the Tate-LaBianca murders, also known as the Manson Family murders. In the summer of 1969, members of Charles Manson\\u2019s cult brutally murdered seven people. They killed five people one night, and two more the next. The crimes were as senseless as they were shocking.
\\n
\\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
