Please note: Midway through this episode we mention that a woman was killed by an elephant in Spain. This was a mix-up in reference to the recent news that Blanca Ojanguren Garcia, a 22-year old woman from Spain, was killed by an elephant while in Thailand: https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/07/asia/spanish-woman-killed-elephant-thailand-intl-hnk/index.html
