b'We at Munch My Benson like to go off on tangents, and the intellectual fuel provided by "American Tragedy" (S15E3) propelled us pretty far out there. We learn about old New York when it was still basically New Amsterdam; we break down Cybill Shepherd\'s accent as it wavers in and out of caricature; we delve into the Trayvon Martin and Paula Deen cases from whose headlines this episode was ripped; we learn about John Cougar Mellencamp\'s extended family; and, we definitely talk about whether or not it\'s socially acceptable to deck a bald man in the middle of the night on a lonely street corner. Enjoy!
