This week Emily takes us to the exotic Cairo, Egypt to share the story of King Tutankhamun - his life, death, and the curse that allegedly haunts his tomb. Then, Rachel heads to Pittsburg to talk about Ebenezer McBurney Byers, whose untimely death was the result of multiple cancers inflicted thanks to consuming 1,400 bottles of Radiothor (aka diluted radium!).

Hopefully, you're horrified!
