This week's episode is a two parter with a personal story in the beginning.  We start off with some mental health history, including some insight to some asylums.  Then we finish off with a story about a lesser known Kennedy who ended up getting a secret lobotomy.  

If you want to jump right into the Kennedy story, it starts at 41:15.

MAYHEM: In this, our 20th episode, we dig in to the history of mental institutions and asylums of our nation. We are joined by Paige and Jake as we talk about the Shame of Maryland - Rosewood Asylum, American royalty Rosemary Kennedy, infamous reporter Nellie Bly, and all of the scandalous insane asylums between them. It's a dark night, boys, why don't you come on in?
