You must always remember to stay human! https://linktr.ee/nightclassy Oversteegen Sisters Sources:

166. Scopes Monkey Trial and Universe 25

Night Classy ·

2023/05/25

John Thomas Scopes was prosecuted by the state of Tennessee for teaching that humans evolved from “monkeys,” and not even American monkeys! Then, Kat explains how scientist John Calhoun attempted to answer the unknowns of human overpopulation using mice. Spoiler alert: societal structures crumble and the mice succumb to degeneracy. Maybe humans would do things differently

Night Classy ·

2023/05/18

Kat covers the eerie legend of Corpsewood Manor, a secluded residence in the woods of Georgia, built by hand by a Satanist and his Catholic boyfriend. Dr. Charles Shudder and Joseph Odom were truly living their best lives. Maybe they didn’t have electricity, but they were never short on LSD, skulls, or pentagrams. Much like a horror movie, this true crime story takes a dark turn. Next, Hayley steps into the shadowy world of the Witness Protection Program. You have to give up your name and identity

Night Classy ·

2023/05/04

Kat covers the second half of the Donner party. It’s mostly eating rugs and taking weeks-long depression naps.

Night Classy ·

2023/04/20

Kat covers the world’s most famous shark and inspiration for Jaws, or as we like to call it “Shark.” The Jersey Man Eater took more than a nibble from more than four people… Or was it the sea turtles? Next, Hayley recounts the time Norway and Great Britain got in a pissing contest to see who could arrive first in the “awful place” known as the South Pole. The human will to live leaves the chat about the same time the temperature plummeted to -68 degrees. Link to Good Ohio Dogman Encounter:

160. Elizabeth Holmes and Tulip Mania

Night Classy ·

2023/04/13

Hayley tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes, the youngest self-made billionaire and inventor of 3 Edison machines in a trenchcoat. Elizabeth’s blood analyzing technology was supposed to make the impossible possible. Only it really was impossible- if only someone had told her that. Then, Kat explains how tulip bulbs were the 17th century’s version of turnips in animal crossing. Only, this was real life, and people spent their life savings on flowers.
