171. Rolling Hills Asylum

It's time for a brand new segment: Trope-a-Dope! It's a fun way to see if Patrick's been paying attention to the many tropes we've uncovered over the last 170 episodes. The answer...may surprise you. (But it probably won't.)

This is the story of the Rolling Hills Asylum. Come for the ghosts, stay for the secret about peyote, Boy Meets Afterworld, the poors love animals too, a Wile E. Coyote fence, that's where veal comes from, tuberculosis is on the ballot, and I'm here for the grotesque.
