Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
If you don't like this next topic, you can blame
it on Josh Hadden, one of six twenty seven Light FM.
It's Kubby and Christine, our chief engineer, Josh Hadden was
just in the studio trying to fix Christen's mic.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Yeah, and we have so many great topics.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Here's so much going on, So.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Right, Josh, which one do you want to hear? And
you threw three at him. Yes, and he picked this
particular topic.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
The Faberge egg. Are we ready for this?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
So this has been in the news because police caught
a thief in New Zealand alleged. I think this points
to guilty who swallowed a Faberge egg lockett. Now you
know how expensive those are, right, They can be priceless.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Are we talking millions or hundreds of thousands? I'll look
at you, right.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
So this was stolen from a jewelry store. It's smaller
because it's a lockett, but yeah, one's just soldid auction.
It can go for tons of money.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
How do you spell it? How much?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I'm piping in fa b E r G E. That's
a Faberge egg.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh there we go.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay, this locket had sixty diamonds, fifteen blue sapphires and
an eighteen carrot gold octopus. He swallowed it, thought he
could get away with it. Police found him, brought him
to jail and said, okay, now give us the egg.
So what does that mean? They had to wait? It

(01:19):
is now six days later. Wait, nothing's happened, and police
have reported that they have recovered the egg d.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
With a strainer underneath the tush. I don't know how
do they do that?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Six days later? It means that that that egg was
in there a little while. I assume your system doesn't
know what to do with it, your digestive system.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
You're not kidding, By the way, I'm looking one up
here on the internet. One of them is like thirty
three million. One of them was, Yeah, that was the
most expensive one ever.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
It's not worth that much anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
No, no, no, it's gone it's gone down.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
This was a Lockett cuby, so it's a Faberge egg
Locket so is smaller. They think it's worth about nineteen
thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
But do you think it would have been worth more
if it hadn't gone through this?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Or is it? Or is it worth more?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Famous it's hard doing this story because it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yes, and but I don't want to say certain jokes.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah I have.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I do want you to know I have things in
my head that I'm.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Sure you do. Okay, So again, sixty diamonds, fifteen blue sapphires,
and an eighteen character old octopus all came out, came
out intact.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
I wonder, is a guy done? Is he like leaving jail?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now we know he's done, but I don't know how
he feels. He's probably got to do time.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I guess, oh, I'm I'm yeah, I think there's a
I don't think you could say you were falsely accused
if you like literally think, yeah, here's the evidence. How
else would that have happened? It did pass naturally through
his digestive system. In case you're wondering, they.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Know they gave him like merrill axe or.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Something six days though six days if they gave him something, yeah,
well to help it a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
You had to go through a few movements before probably
got to that. Because you're thinking he has to do
something in six days. He probably did, but it took.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
He probably did with that egg. Like I said, your
body is like, what do I do with this, and
eventually it says, let's get rid of it. I imagine maybe
it was a little painful on the way out. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Hey, he deserves it. He stole that much money, you know.
Come on anyway at a New Zealand. There you go.
