First, sorry about last week: technical difficulties. Our recording provider @#$%ed up critical pieces of our episode and we lost it (I won't name names). Since Mo's on the road, our hosts check in and do what they do best: ramble.

A couple of friends play a weird game that ends up violent because of envy. The hurt one meets a woman who turns out to be an amazing healer.

Same guy from last week gets into trouble while out sailing again.

A guy seeks fortune (as one does) on the high seas and works his way up. During his journeys, he has run-ins with the sea wildlife that he potentially mis-represents.

A princess gets conned into what could have been a cannibalistic experience but ends up escaping after witnessing a brutal murder. Back home, nobody believes her weird tale until she presents some pretty macabre evidence.

Third-hand evidence about a violent guy who gets revenge and slays a monster.

In a time without DNA, how do you actually know if someone is royalty or not?

A king saves his own skin by making a deal with a witch. He tries to mitigate the risks of the fine print. Clothing that causes a weird curse with some really specific terms but they mostly figure it out.

Elissa finds a story of the granddaddy of all cons, affecting a town from the poorest all the way to the top, with the ultimate mark being royalty. Amazingly, they get away with it! Was it a civil crime, just playing on his narcissism, or was it actually criminal?

Ever heard of the affluenza defense? Elissa and Mo make the case this week and present all of the evidence-- but it's up to you to decide!
