Hayley has... issues... I think that's safe to say. But what better way to expose those issues than to shove a microphone in her face and just letter her speak about all the weird things that gives her that history horn. This time around we're going back to the ways of old and how we would punish criminals for their crimes or extract information from persons of interest and putting them into a tier list! Because even though Hayley has issues, it turns out we all do too.
From punishing women for passing rumours around to village to interrogating prisoners for information by forcing their back passage onto a pyramid shaped block slowly and strapping the accused to "The Rack" in an effort to stretch them out like a length of silly putty (yes I am also disappointed that "The Rack" has nothing to do with boobs), join Hayley this week as she explores the torturous world of history's strangest and most punishing torture devices and places them into a tier list from least to most effective methods of torturing an individual.
