Hello you,

Stay tuned for part 2 of this episode where your hosts will be going more in-depth on the media portrayal of serial killers (We're looking at you Joe Goldberg :|)

"His older sister vomited blood, his younger sister vomited fire..."
After his father's death, Saijo Yaso expresses his grief in this haunting piece of art. It seems his grief expressed itself in ways more than one: including that of bringing death and bad luck to those who've read it aloud.
In this episode, Tiffany gets us all cursed by reading the Japanese Poem "TOMINO'S HELL" and many hijinks ensue. Tune in to listen to the history, interpretations and deaths that have come out of this poem.
