What do you get when you mix a royal smorgasbord, a deadly dessert, and a man whose name sounds like a Victorian law firm but actually ran 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days? You get this gloriously odd episode of The Box of Oddities.
First, we chew over the gluttonous fate of King Adolf Fredrik of Sweden, whose last meal was so epic it could've headlined a buffet apocalypse. Spoiler: he literally ate himself to death. Then we plunge into the frostbitten legacy of Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, a real-life action hero and the most extreme gentleman explorer you’ve never heard of (but definitely should have).
Expect bizarre royal history, death-by-dessert, and tales of endurance that will make your couch feel deeply judgmental.
