A Discussion on the Houston STI Scare from June 2024 and Other STI Myths
Listen to Season 4, Episode 2 of Beneath the Briefs in which Javier Enriquez and Cheyenne Roberts discuss the Houston STI scare and other STI myths on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
Beneath the Briefs Introduction
Javier:
This is Beneath the Briefs, a podcast where we explore the ins and outs and in-betweens of sex and culture.
Cheyenne:
No topic is off limits.
Javier:
Real conversations you may be too embarrassed to have out loud.
Cheyenne:
So! Prepare to be briefed.
Javier:
Let’s talk about sex, y’all.
Javier and Cheyenne Make Cute Halloween- and Birthday-Themed Smalltalk
Cheyenne:
And welcome back. We’re on episode two already.
Javier:
Episode two, baby!
Cheyenne:
Goodness, Javier, how are you feeling?
Javier:
I’m feeling pretty good. I am really excited for the Halloween season. Halloween is literally here.
Cheyenne:
You know, and I just—when you say it like that, I get really emotional because how did we already blast through the month already?
Javier:
I don’t know, but Halloween is basically like Pride 2.0, you know? So, it’s a lot of fun.
Cheyenne:
No, for sure, for sure. It’s definitely a lot of fun. Do know what you’re gonna dress up as?
Javier:
So, I’m usually very last-minute. What if I—? I have no idea. So long story short: no idea.
Some things that I’ve thought about that I’m not gonna do is: I was gonna like, find a cage—
Cheyenne:
Where is this going…?
Javier:
And I was going to somehow put my head in the cage, my head on top of my body. This is Locktober for me this year, but I’m gonna be in a cage.
Cheyenne:
Okay?!
Javier:
And then in that cage…
Cheyenne:
Right…?
Javier:
I was gonna put like, a five-cent coin in it. And then when people ask me what I am, I’m gonna open the little door and I’m gonna remove the nickel. And then I’m gonna be a Nickel-less Cage.
Cheyenne:
Cut the cameras, cut the cameras, everybody cut the cameras, cut the cameras, cut the cameras. No, I’m kidding, but that’s actually really clever. And now I feel like I have to do something very humorous. But you know what I really wanna do, or really what costume always takes me out the game? Is the Lorax. The girls that dress up as the Lorax have me so weak. I love that costume. I think it’s hilarious.
Javier:
Y’all, let me tell you about the Lorax costume trend. Because this is something that is definitely much more Gen Z, and so I’m here to translate for the audience who are not Gen Z. But basically, it is typically like, college girls who will wear a orange jumpsuit that only has an opening where their face is. So literally their entire body is obscured by this orange jumpsuit. No hair, no nothing, just their face, and they’re looking like an orange Pikmin out there, and then they just apply like, this big ol’ yellow mustache on them. And they just go out there and speak for the trees.
Cheyenne:
And I don’t know why it tickles me so bad, but oh my goodness, every single time I see a Lorax costume, I am tickled PINK. Do you hear me? Oh, my goodness.
Javier:
Yeah, I think this season is always really fun for me because it’s also my birthday season. Literally my birthday is two days after Halloween, but my birthday’s actually on Dia de los Muertos, so Day of the Dead.
Cheyenne:
Oh, okay, I didn’t know that!
Javier:
It’s a significant holiday in Mexican culture, and I’m Mexican, and so I’m just old birthday diva, and I will take myself on a solo trip. I will look out like a foggy, rainy window and just have a protagonist moment, thinking about the world.
Cheyenne:
You are so dramatic.
Javier:
Thinking about so many things.
Cheyenne:
Just dramatic.
Javier:
But yeah, I’m actually turning the big three-oh. I’m turning 30. I have 30 minutes.
Cheyenne:
(Quoting) “You have 30 minutes.”
Javier and Cheyenne:
(in unison) “30!”
Javier:
But yeah, I feel like I’ve been prepping myself to be 30 for a minute now. I feel like once you turn like 26 or 27, you’re like, “I’m basically 30.” I think that’s a lot of young people’s mentality. But I feel like I haven’t really been dreading it. I’ve more been like, “I’m excited to have now income that I can actually use.”
Cheyenne:
Okay, what do you feel like is the most important thing that you’ve learned leading up to you turning 30?
Javier:
I think the most important thing that I’ve learned leading up to being 30 is honestly like, caring less what people think about you. Like, you just know who you are basically at this point, and you also know who you aren’t. You also know about all the uncertainties about your identity. Yeah, so maybe if you don’t know yourself completely, you know what you don’t know, if that makes sense. So, it feels like you have a lot more clear direction. I don’t know. I think, at 30, you just are more comfortable with where you are in the journey and just embrace it and don’t let anyone else slow you down on that.
Cheyenne:
Interesting. Okay. I always like asking people those kind of questions like around milestones and things like that. So, that’s interesting. Well, since we’re—this is basically the Halloween episode. What are typically some Halloween things you like to do?
Javier:
Well, since we’re—this is basically the Halloween episode. What are typically some Halloween things you like to do?
Cheyenne:
Honestly, I love watching horror movies during this time.
Javier:
Okay, what’s your favorite horror movie?
Cheyenne:
I’ll have to say The Nun. The Nun is actually one movie that has terrified me. It’s just something about the way the actress looks. She really pulls off being The Nun. Like, she’s just terrifying to me. She’s terrifying. Like, that’s so embarrassing, but I am just terrified.
Javier:
Speaking of terrifying, the movie that has scared me the most is the Terrifier series. Have you seen any of the Terrifier movies?
Cheyenne:
I’ve seen clips of it, and I’ve been like, “Oh, I’m gonna watch that!”
Javier:
I’ve seen one and two, and they just released three, and I’m gonna be seeing it this weekend. And these are the only movies that have ever, as an adult, given me nightmares.
Cheyenne:
Really!
Javier:
Like I feel guilty for watching these movies because of how—how messed up it gets.
Cheyenne:
Stop it. Really?
Javier:
It is bananas. I don’t want to ruin it for you. It’s intense.
Cheyenne:
I’m gonna have to watch it. What is it on?
Javier:
Well, the first two movies, I’m not sure where they’re playing, but the third one’s in theaters right now.
Cheyenne:
Okay, perfect. I probably have to check it out.
Javier:
And it’s “Chrithmas” themed. Christmas themed. Sorry, my lisp! Oh my God. God is making me gayer right in front of you!
Cheyenne:
Oh, no! Not the gays! But you know what’s equally as scary is the Houston STI scare that happened just in the month of June this year. Definitely it took social media by storm.
Javier:
Oh my gosh, I have so many questions.
Cheyenne:
We’re gonna get into it. We’re gonna talk about it.
Javier:
All right, we’ll be back right after the commercial break.

The Houston STI Scare and Other STI Myths: Recap & Discussion
Cheyenne:
Welcome back, welcome back!
Javier:
(deep voice) Welcome baaaaack.
Cheyenne:
That wasn’t very excited. Did you not like our commercial?!
Javier:
Oh, I love the commercial!
Cheyenne:
Okay. That’s what I thought.
Javier:
If anything, we should play it back.
Javier and Cheyenne:
(singing) Play it back. Play it back. Run it back. Run it back. Run, run, run it back.
Cheyenne:
Okay, let’s talk about our topic this week.
Javier:
Oooh, yeah.
Cheyenne:
Our topic this week is the Houston STI scare.
Javier:
And just myths in general.
Cheyenne:
Yeah, there’s a lot of myths out there. So, yeah, let’s get into it.
If I’m not mistaken, this story came out, I believe, like mid this year, 2024. And essentially what happened was I was just scrolling on Instagram that day and—
Javier:
What were you looking at?
Cheyenne:
I was looking at very beautiful women.
Javier:
Oooohohoho!
Cheyenne:
But yeah, like in the midst of my scrolling and looking at very beautiful women, I ended up seeing a post on The ShadeRoom and the post was—
Javier:
Wait, wait, wait. What’s the shade room?
Cheyenne:
Okay, so, hmm. How do I describe The Shade Room? The ShadeRoom is like a Black version of TMZ.
Javier:
Oh, okay, so, is it like, very sensationalist? Like, what is it?
Cheyenne:
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Very, very much so. Very sensationalized. Everything they post is. Like, it’s always very over dramatic. But yeah, so I initially saw the post on The ShadeRoom***, and it was a screenshot of somebody else’s story that they were reposting basically with a caption.
****Editor’s Note: The post Cheyenne saw was actually on two different but similar accounts to The ShadeRoom: @rapplaylistdaily and @messymajshow. Here are the posts Cheyenne refers to:

Cheyenne:
And they went into details about what was being reported in the picture. So the picture was a picture of a database. I keep saying picture a lot.
Javier:
“It’s picture of the picture and the photo of the image of the screenshot of the picture.”
Cheyenne:
But yeah, so it was a picture of a database, the Harris County Health Department’s database. And it said that 42,000 people were diagnosed with a STI within the last week.
Javier:
42,000 in one week? That’s a lot of people.
Cheyenne:
That IS a lot of people.
Javier:
In one city?
Cheyenne:
That’s very alarming for one city.
Javier:
I’m like, “What’s happening in Houston?”
Cheyenne:
Right! And so obviously, the comments reflected our concern: “What’s going on in Houston? Why are 42,000 people being diagnosed with an STI?” So along with the concern, were unfortunately people in the comments being homophobic, shaming people for having sex and getting an STI, misogyny—there was just a whole lot of things going on in the comment section.
Javier:
Not cute.
Cheyenne:
It was not very cute, not very demure, okay? I wanna say, like maybe like a week later, they actually ended up coming out with the article that discussed what those numbers actually meant. Here’s the kicker—
Javier:
Wait, so what do mean they “actually meant”? That wasn’t—?
Cheyenne:
That wasn’t correct. That was incorrect, yes.
Javier:
Tea!
Cheyenne:
And I just had a feeling it wasn’t correct. I was like, “There’s just no way that it was 42,000 people in Houston alone being diagnosed with a new STI. There’s just no way.”
So, Tucker Wilson is a spokesperson for Harris County Public Health, and essentially what they said was that it was 42,000 people that came in and got tested over the last year and across the entire state of Texas. So, it wasn’t just for Houston.
Javier:
Wait, hold on. Hold on, so you’re saying that the number 42,000 came from people in one week who just went to get tested over the entire state. And those people got positive tests?
Cheyenne:
No, so these results or these numbers were coming from people that were just going into the clinics to get tested, and they were not confirmatory tests.
Javier:
So, this was just regular people with their regular checkups?
Cheyenne:
Yeah.
Javier:
The hell? So, what was the whole point? What’s the point of sharing that photo with an image of a screenshot of the picture?
Cheyenne:
That was my thought process as well. That was incredibly confusing for people to see those numbers.
Javier:
I was confused just hearing that. Like, “What? What’s happening?”
Cheyenne:
Right. It’s very confusing, but I’m very happy that Tucker Wilson came out and said that those are the numbers for the last year for 42,000 people in Texas going in and just getting tested, not them actually being diagnosed.
Javier:
And that’s how myths start, because of misinformation like this.
Cheyenne:
Exactly. Exactly. You know, a myth that I heard was that hormonal birth control can prevent you from getting an STI. I want you to know that is very false. Definitely make sure you’re using protection.
Javier:
It protects from babies, not from STIs.
Cheyenne:
That is seriously a myth.
Javier:
Dang. Well, speaking of myths, I got one for you too.
Cheyenne:
Okay!
Javier:
So, there is a myth. Actually, tell me if you think this is a myth or real.
Cheyenne:
Okay.
Javier:
You can’t get an STI from having oral sex.
Cheyenne:
That’s fiction.
Javier:
That is definitely fiction. That is definitely a myth. You can definitely get some things from giving up that gluck gluck 3000. But I did think it was really interesting that why you can still get oral STIs is because sometimes you have lesions in your mouth, and they are like, small, and they can be—you don’t really see them exactly. And so there could be a transfer of blood. That’s why it’s highly suggested that when you are going to go down to make sure you actually don’t brush your teeth.
Cheyenne:
I remember hearing about that!
Javier:
Because it creates tears in your mouth right beforehand.
Cheyenne:
I didn’t even think about that. I thought that was a lie.
Javier:
No, no, no. I know you want to be like, minty fresh, but like, chew some gum, have a Listerine strip—don’t go scrubbing your mouth because that’s how you can get some little, little kisses of life that way.
Cheyenne:
“Kisses of life”!
Javier:
That’s what I was taught.
Cheyenne:
But that is so interesting. Now that makes sense because like I heard it in passing, but… Actually, I have a myth for you that I used to firmly believe in. And this is so sad. Again, this was before I was like in the public health and sexual wellness space. It was that you can contract an STI from a toilet seat. I know that sounds insane. ’Cause it IS insane. It’s a myth!
Javier:
So, you thought that was real?
Cheyenne:
I did. My mom always taught me to like, put down like, one of those like toilet liners whenever you’re out in public. And so, when I heard that like, you know—like, that I had to put like a little paper liner down.
Javier:
Dang, not the toilet condom!
Cheyenne:
I have since learned that that is false, but like, I had to really unlearn up until I was probably 16 that contracting an STI from a toilet seat is just not a thing. That is not a thing. You cannot contract an STI from a toilet seat.
Javier:
Also, a lot of people don’t know how an STI is transmitted. And it’s transmitted through fluids, right? I think most people know that. But I don’t know if people know all of the fluids. Do you think you can name some?
Cheyenne:
Blood.
Javier:
Uh-huh, ding ding.
Cheyenne:
Semen.
Javier:
Uh-huh.
Cheyenne:
Saliva.
Javier:
False.
Cheyenne:
Really?
Javier:
Sorry, sorry. Hold on. Let me hold the phone. You can’t contract HIV from saliva.
Cheyenne:
Okay.
Javier:
There are other STIs where you can [contract the STI from saliva], but not every STI.
Cheyenne:
Okay.
Javier:
But in terms of HIV, you can get it from blood. You can get it from semen.
Cheyenne:
Okay.
Javier:
And there’s three more if you want to take a guess. Let’s go specifically with HIV.
Cheyenne:
Okay. So, I already said blood.
Javier:
You said semen.
Cheyenne:
I said semen. I don’t know.
Javier:
Yeah, so a lot of people don’t know after that because people are like—that’s usually the main things they think about.
Cheyenne:
Yeah.
Javier:
But, so, you can also—let’s think about congenital STI transmission. That’s often given through human milk. So, when you’re breastfeeding,
Cheyenne:
Really?
Javier:
You can transmit an STI to your child. Mm-hmm.
Cheyenne:
I did not know that. That is definitely an interesting fact right there.
Javier:
And obviously a lot of mothers don’t know that, and they are just doing what they think is best for the child. Obviously, they’re doing the right thing.
Cheyenne:
Right.
Javier:
But they’re just not going to get tested.
Cheyenne:
Yeah.
Javier:
And there’s two other things. I can go ahead and tell you that. So, another one is vaginal or rectal fluids. Like, just the things that keep you lubricated in there.
Cheyenne:
Okay, hold on. Really? I didn’t even think about that.
Javier:
You can transmit HIV I didn’t even think about that. Yeah. Those are fluids.
Cheyenne:
How did I miss those? Wow. Okay. No, I’m actually kind of shocked about that. I really am.
Javier:
Yeah, a lot of people don’t know about this. They’re just like, “Well, as long as I am not swallowing, (indecipherable) that’s all that matters.” But there’s so many other ways to make sure you’re protected.
Cheyenne:
This can be taken out if it’s inappropriate. But honestly—honest to God—I really thought that people contracted HIV because they swallowed. I genuinely thought like, “You know, they mainly got it from swallowing, you know, something—like, some type of fluids.” Especially like if you’re in a, you know, heterosexual relationship or even in a homosexual relationship, I thought they literally only got it from semen.
Javier:
Can I tell you something? So, it’s actually a really fun fact. If someone is reaching their climax and they shoot it in your mouth, and if it’s already like in your mouth, whatever, the safest thing that you can do…
Cheyenne:
Is to spit it out?
Javier:
Is to swallow it.
Cheyenne:
Really? Why?!
Javier:
Swallowing is safer. If it’s going in your mouth, it’s a better option to swallow than to spit, and the reason why is that if it goes in your mouth and you’re having to spit it out, it is going in one direction and now you’re trying to push it out another direction, and it’s kind of—it’s moving throughout your mouth. But if you keep it in one direction, it just goes down, then there’s less possibility of it finding like a cut or a lesion in your mouth or like one of those tears.
Cheyenne:
I wish y’all could see my face right now because I am in awe of this information.
Javier:
And listen, like, swallowing is, you know…
Cheyenne:
Is A-okay with you?
Javier:
A-okay, yes.
Cheyenne:
You know, honestly, there is so much to be like, learned about the transmission of HIV because I think a lot of people just stop at it being transmitted through semen and blood. I know on my behalf, as you can see, because I’m just shocked, that I need to do a little bit more research about how HIV is transmitted because those are things that I didn’t even think about. Because it’s such a nuanced topic, you don’t go beyond what most of us are already taught, which is again, it being transmitted through semen and blood and shared needles and things like that. So that’s really interesting. Whew, that was a doozy right there. I done learned something new.
Javier:
And the final thing—a final fluid that you can get HIV from is actually—it’s kind of like a cousin to semen, but it’s actually pre-cum. That’s why it’s called like pre-cum, because it is still semen. It’s just not like the full-fledged version of it. So, you can still get HIV through that, but—but yeah.
Cheyenne:
I didn’t even think about that either. I learned that people can get pregnant with like, pre-cum.
Javier:
Yeah!
Cheyenne:
I never like—when I found that out, I was like, “What? What do you mean? What do you mean by that?”
Javier:
If you can get a baby with pre-cum, then you can get an STI with pre-cum.
Cheyenne:
Javier, you’re blowing my mind right now.
Javier:
I know, I know, I know. I think—not every STI is obviously made the same.
Cheyenne:
Right.
Javier:
But it’s important for us to be informed of how you can prevent STIs and stuff. But yeah, it’s wild how little we all know about STIs and sex, and then living in Texas—and you come from Florida—we are not the capitols of, like…
Cheyenne:
We’re definitely not.
Javier:
We get told, you know, pray, and everything will be okay. And so, so many people don’t have that information, and if they had that information, they could make safer decisions and be more responsible for their sex life.
Cheyenne:
And on that note, after all this misinformation, let’s go get some real information from this commercial. Alright?
Javier:
Okay, transition!
Commercial Break: Get Out the Vote
Javier:
Hey, hey, come here, come here, come here, come here. Do you happen to know your status? No, I don’t mean your sexual health status. I’m talking about your voter status.
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but states like mine in Texas have suspended over a million people off of the voter registry, meaning that over a million people can no longer vote and don’t even know. And with election day just around the corner on November 5th, it’s more important than ever to know your voter status. You can check your voter registration status and search for local polling locations at vote.gov. Again, that’s vote.gov.
Knowing your status is not just for a healthier sex life, but it’s also for a sexier democracy. Early voting will be October 21st through November 1st, and the last day of vote will be on election day on November 5th. We’ll see you there.
The Houston STI Scare and Other STI Myths: Conversation Wrap-Up
Javier:
Alright, Cheyenne, we learned so much today.
Cheyenne:
My biggest takeaway is that misinformation leads to misinformation, misinformation leads to stigma, stigma leads to fear, and fear ultimately leads to unhealthy sexual behaviors.
Javier:
Damn. You just read straight out the Bible, huh?
Cheyenne:
I did. That’s my Bible.
Javier:
Dang.
Cheyenne:
Word on the Bible. Hand on the Bible.
Javier:
Fallopians 6:9.
Cheyenne:
“Fallopians 6:9” is CRAZY. I’m sorry. Goodness. Fallopians 6:9. Alright, I’mma leave it as is. What about you, Javier? What did you feel like you learned?
Javier:
You know, I learned that literally people’s fears can be exploited so quickly—because people already had this fear prior to this post.
Cheyenne:
Right. Absolutely.
Javier:
Like people had that stigma and they’ve already adopted these myths that they think are truths, and it just takes someone to stir the pot a little bit more to make all these things worse. And so, I think it just proves more of a reason why we need more comprehensive sex education, because I know I wasn’t given it.
Cheyenne:
I wasn’t either, I was in Florida.
Javier:
Mm-mm. Yeah, I think they literally had a sex ed class in fifth grade for like a week, and then that’s all the sex education I ever got—ever, ever, ever got. And it wasn’t until my job in sexual wellness where I had to learn all these things and had to unlearn some of the things I was told. Did you get any like sex ed?
Cheyenne:
I don’t remember.
Javier:
So, you don’t remember it?
Cheyenne:
I don’t. I really don’t. Luckily, in my household, my mom is a nurse, and my mama also don’t play that.
Javier:
Okay! She taught you how to wrap it up.
Cheyenne:
She actually went out her way to make sure that like—obviously me and my brother separately got the conversation, but like, you know, we did have those conversations. Would it have been better if I actually got like, comprehensive sexual education? Absolutely. You know what mean?
Javier:
But at least your mom was doing something.
Cheyenne:
She did do something, I will say that.
Javier:
What’s your mom’s name?
Cheyenne:
My mom’s name is Gail.
Javier:
Shout out to Gail. Hey! Gail!
Cheyenne:
But I actually want to say that like, I even got some version of sexual education. When I was in college, they had a pleasure party.
Javier:
Oh, I remember you said that in the last episode.
Cheyenne:
Yeah, so that was something that we talked about toys, and we also talked about pleasure. And that introduced me into other things as well.
Javier:
OK, I have questions. Because you talk about the pleasure parties, and we have not gone into that. But I’ve been curious about it since then. But have you seen the movie Fried Green Tomatoes?
Cheyenne:
Oh my God, that’s my favorite movie. That is like, is my favorite freaking movie. You have me so excited right now. I love that movie. Me and my mom watched that movie so often when I was younger, and like, when it came on Netflix recently, I watched it like four or five times. I love that movie.
Javier:
I recently saw it for the first time when it came on Netflix, and I didn’t know how much of a sapphic masterpiece it was and how it meant so much to queer women. But like, I didn’t even know that, but like the honey scene where she’s digging in that honey. And I’m like, “Hold on…are y’all?”
Cheyenne:
“Are y’all? Are y’all?!”
Javier:
“Are y’all?!”
Cheyenne:
Okay, exactly, yes.
Javier:
But anyways, I bring that up because there was also scenes where someone hosted a pleasure party, and they actually used the toys together, if I’m not mistaken.
Cheyenne:
(whispers) Yes.
Javier:
(whispers back) Did that happen at your pleasure party?
Cheyenne:
No!
Javier:
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Cheyenne:
So actually, it was—that pleasure party was—I don’t want to say it’s a “pleasure party,” though it kind of technically was. It was hosted in our clinic area, and it was just going over how to put a condom on, other things like that. But yeah, it was hosted in the clinic.
Javier:
See, it just takes simple things like this to get people engaged with sexual education because sex is so much fun to talk about. Once you strip away all this buffoonery and all these taboos that are made by men and whatever. Sex is a lot of fun to talk about.
Cheyenne:
Sex is fun to talk about and there’s no shame around it. I’m going to look at a pregnant person and be like, “You had sex! You did the deed!” We all know this. You know what mean? Like there’s no shame around it. Like we know how babies get here. We know that people, you know, have it for pleasure. We just know what’s going on behind them closed doors. We know that y’all be hunching, okay? We understand. I be hunching too. I get it. But yeah, definitely when we kind of removed that shame, that fear and all that from around the topic of sex, then talking about it becomes so fun and so comfortable and so liberating, honestly, for lot of people. It could be, you know.
Javier:
Y’all, I know we talked about some scary stuff, but don’t let STIs scare you away from pleasure. And if you get an STI, it’s okay. It’s not the end of the world. And a lot of them can be treated and managed, and there are more things in life. I’m all right.
Cheyenne:
You’re right. I almost wanted to tell you that you’re wrong just because I wanted to.
Javier:
And you know what, with that being said, I think it’s a good moment for us to liberate y’all from this podcast and enjoy the rest of your day. But if you enjoyed this, please give us a follow; give us a rate and a review. We are still new to podcasting. And if you have any tips or if you have any questions—Cheyenne, how can they interact with us?
Cheyenne:
You can email us at [email protected], and again the email is [email protected].
Javier:
And you never know, we might just answer your question on the next episode.
Cheyenne:
Ooh, give us some questions, y’all.
Javier:
Alright, we’ll see you on episode three.
Cheyenne:
Stay sexy and safe, y’all.

Javier:
Okay, so I also had a real question for you. So, on Fried Green Tomatoes, did they barbecue a guy?
Cheyenne:
Wait, what? No. I don’t think so?
Javier:
Did they cook someone?
Cheyenne:
I don’t remember that being a thing. (after a brief Google search) It says, “In Fried Green Tomatoes, at the whistle stop cafe, Big George barbecues the remains of Frank Bennett and feeds them to the detectives investigating his disappearance. Sipsey killed Bennett when he tried to kidnap Sipsey and Ruth’s son.”
Javier:
There was cannibalism in Fried Green Tomatoes!
Cheyenne:
(whispering) Yeah, that’s actually kind of crazy.
Javier:
Oh my God!
