It’s Episode 19 of Smoke Til It’s Gone Or Die! When discussing who we wanted to invite on as our first guest, one person and one person only came to mind. It’s G! If you’ve listened to any of our episodes before, you’ll know that G is our podcast’s #1 fan, and day-one supporter of the show. They join us in getting thoroughly bologna, and we tell them some scary stories! Rylee tells us the story of "The The Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven", or the Blackburn Cult. Two women who knew how to use their wiles to their advantage caused some mayhem throughout southern California, including but not limited to murder, suspected poisoning, and fraud. As we know a little too well 100 years later, the 20's were a wild time to be alive, and May Otis Blackburn certainly makes her mark in history. Patty serves goose-bumps all over! It’s The Bennington Triangle! Bennington is The Bermuda Triangle’s Gay Cousin, and is located in a mountainous region of Vermont. She comes complete with UFO and Bigfoot sightings, ghost towns, and mysterious unsolved disappearances. You won’t want to miss this!
Rylee’s Probable Cause this week is The Roots Fund. Please consider making a donation at https://www.therootsfund.org/
The Roots Fund was created to empower the BIPOC Community in the wine industry by providing resources and financial support through educational scholarships, wine education, mentorship, and job placement. The Roots Fund is committed to investing in the Black, Indigenous & Latinx wine community to provide opportunities to those seeking a career or education in all aspects of wine.
In reference to Patty’s Probable Cause, please visit Inclusive Arts Vermont at https://www.inclusiveartsvermont.org/

Under Massachusetts’ Chapter 94G and California’s Proposition 64 Bills it is legal for us two assholes to possess and consume MaryJane, medically known as cannabis, in our respective states. We do NOT condone the illegal consumption, possession, or sale of cannabis in places it’s not supposed to be smoked, man handled, or acquired from a legal dispensary. But we DO condone what the awesome humans at Marijuana Policy Project are doing to support legislation at the state and federal level to decriminalize cannabis across the country, and advocate for those who have been incarcerated for cannabis possession.
