content warning: child abuse, infant death, miscarriage This week, I don't have a voice! So here's a republished episode from over on the Patreon. In it, we take a little break from our normal dark sided topics and get to know the Derricos, a family on TLC with 14 kids (4 sets of multiples back to back.) Along the way, we'll talk about the ethics of a large family, how 16 people can live in that little ass house, and the fact that "Awesome" and "Dawsyn" do not rhyme.  Note: I stop ranting about The White Lotus at 20:26.  Thank you to Taylor for commissioning this episode.
