Have you ever been in a public setting and felt an overwhelming bout of emotion coming on? Have you ever taken those emotions and crammed them down into a dark place that no one can see, only to put on a smile in the face of the seemingly judgemental?

Well so has Melissa Manchester and she would like to tell us all about it with her hit song Don’t Cry Out Loud from 1978. So Rob and I put on our hard hats with the little lights on them and did some spelunking, trying to decipher this ballad of emotional suppression.

We also talk the origin of the sad clown, Uwe Boll, and the Creed Cruise amongst many other things.

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, we discuss the still at large Australian serial kidnapper Mr. Cruel as well as Ivan the Terrible #slippingintodarkness.

We also have some merch for sale up on our Etsy, as well as a limited run of embroidered beanies out now! Only a few left… Shoot us a DM on IG if you’re interested.
