The Candy Man - Tangents & True Crime

Ladies & Tangents
About this episode

WHAT'S UP GOURD SQUARD! In this Tangents & True Crime we spend entirely too much time talking about everything but The Candy Man. If you're here exclusively to hear us talk about him- skip basically to the end. If you like roller coasters, fun facts and distrust the media- start from the beginning. Ciara starts by de-bunking the classic Halloween myth of strangers poisoning candy during trick-or-treat and ends with one of the most disturbing stories I've ever been told. Somewhere in the middle we call pie "soggy cake" and deem pumpkin the superior fall flavor. Buckle up and keep your hands inside the vehicle. It's going to be a wild ride.
