In the final episode of Yeah No Yeah, Molly and Katie explore death as they celebrate the life of their 5-year-old podcast. They talk Zoom funerals, the experience of dying, embalming, and the funeral industry. Then the film turns grainy and unfocused as a montage of the girls recording in  apartments in New York and Texas plays. They've screamed at 5 and 1-star reviews alike, fought with strangers on Twitter, and made friends on Patreon and Instagram. Yes, it had been a wild ride for the girls, but all good things must come to an end. Better to go out on a high note than wither away slowly and run out of ideas.  Good night and see you on the other side!

Hybristophilia, aka Bonnie and Clyde syndrome, is the technical term for sexual arousal inspired by someone else's crimes. Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez, Chris Watts — all received a ton of love letters in prison, often with bikini pics enclosed.

Or is something more sinister afoot? Molly thinks she knows, and Katie begs us all not to drag bad boys' good names into this.  SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_QwM-mu87DCQtPe3c9LwXZfgzZZyXrNL4xhsOwrSq38/edit?usp=sharing

We're also covering why it is that celebrities and basketball players can get tested for COVID-19 while the rest of us stay home and suck it up. Also: Which social media influencers are capitalizing on the crisis? This all probably has Lennon rolling in his grave, but Katie shares her best guess for what he would want us to do if he was still alive: Stay in bed and grow your hair.  SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rp2KEKbgzJMXx_pDBeYNVwXAZbJ_QT20Yb1d5oZOSRw/edit?usp=sharing
