(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) One August day in 2019, Ina and David Steiner, a married couple in their late 50s and early 60s respectively, were in their offices at their Natick, Massachusetts home when they each noticed an email pop into their inboxes. The message was bizarre. It said their “wet specimen” was ready and asked, Did they want to accept delivery? . . . . Reb explains the (very insane, very stupid, very scary) case of United States v.
