Ep. 15 - Teacher Happy Hour: The Murder of Colleen Ritzer
PSA: We are super chatty on this episode, therefore if you would like to jump forward to 24 minutes (we won't blame you), because that is where the crime begins.
Episode 15 a lot of things are happening. First and foremost, It is a FULL MOON!! Secondly, we are drinking, so be advised the language is no longer PG. Third, Brooke missed her flight and we are mad at Spirit Airlines and lastly we have another SPECIAL guest LUGO!
This happy hour episode is brought to you by Ashleigh herself with commentary by Brooke and special guest Lugo! This is the murder of Colleen Ritzer, a teacher in Massachusetts who was murdered and raped by one of her own students, Philip Chism. Philip followed his 9th grade algebra teacher, Colleen, into a school bathroom, strangled her, stabbed her at least 16 times and raped her. He then dumped her body in the woods using a recycling bin from the school. Follow along to hear more and get our opinions on this horrific crime.

Drink of choice for this full moon:
Ashleigh and Lugo were sipping on the NEW 3 canned cocktails by Crown Royal: Peach Tea, Whiskey Cola, and Apple. They said these were amazing and the packaging was 10/10. Brooke, however was sipping on the Vizzy seltzers, because that's all she had, but all in all 6/10.
