Anna and Mark discuss the tragic end of the Jim Jones and his Jonestown experiment in South America.  Anna breaks down daily life in Guyana with White Nights, a pet monkey named Mr. Muggs, and the ultimate sign of allegiance to the leader that lead to the largest cult suicide event in history.  Mark is stunned the entire episode and shocked to find out the real meaning of the expression "Don't drink the kool-aid" while Anna was able to obtain information from an interview with one of the group member's family.  Thanks for joining us, and as always make sure you don't drink the kool-aid.
