Episode 142: Maria Elena Milagro De Hoyos, The Unwilling Corpse Bride With Special Guest Rachel O'Brien

Maria Elena Milagro De Hoyos, known as Elena, walked into a Key West hospital suffering from a fatal infection of tuberculosis. Instead of a cure, she found a radiologist named Karl Tanzler who instantly became obsessed with her. Although the affections were one sided, when Elena passed away a couple of months later, Karl just couldn't let his soulmate go. What he did next is unthinkable, and he never really paid a price for it.

Always the best

Alaina and Ash are always my favorite. They don’t have any bad episodes. Keep doing what you do!

Carl was fucking wild

You guys are the best! I love you guys and all the special guests! You guys find the best stories ever!

Binge-worthy

I love all of their episodes. it's like sitting down to lunch with your best friends

Caution!!!

Be careful; if stupid is contagious, listening to Ash might pass it along. Could catch that, or typhoid or tuberculosis, or some other poop disease.

nope

Please don't ever bring this guest back. She does not have a podcast voice.

The worst guest

I couldn't even finish this episode bc the guest's voice is so loud and annoying. Literally love Ash and Alaina but good God this guest was awful. She didn't add anything except excessive volume and obnoxious commentary. And I generally like obnoxious commentary! But this was just useless nonsense.
2 stars only bc Ash and Alaina were present but the episode was demolished by this awful guest.
