972: Jellyfish Sting, Obituary Language, & Fabergé Egg Heist
Sarah is back from Mexico, and she has tales to tell! It was a White Lotus scenario with a little jellyfish run-in on the side. Susie watched The Stringer documentary about the Napalm Girl Pulitzer Prize winning photograph, and the recent controversy about who took the picture.

We discuss a theft of a Fabergé egg and the unusual means the thief used to take it.
