The Floor is Lava: Centralia, Pennsylvania

This week, Melanie kicks things off with bad puns, we love Butterfingers for all the wrong reasons, Melanie strikes out on Halloween drugs, Brianne will not engage, Melanie is a hell of a fluffer, Brianne gives Melanie a surprise promotion to mayor, 36 steams of pee cannot stop an inferno, a zip code is eliminated, Melanie isn't a flat-earther, no one cares about drinking from garden hoses, and we are praying for Hot Garbage Town, USA.

Content warnings: trash/bad smells, fire, urine, gruesome dead deer description, death of a cat, terminal illnesses, child in peril who survives, xenophobic quotes, science denial, giardia, rats.
