"Titanic" PCP-spiked chowder, $134k FTX necklace & a 260k gallon fish tank explodes 👀🍿🧃

Hi Wrecklings!

If you haven’t watched “High” on Netflix, RUN and watch it NOW. It’s absolutely insane, in the best way. Also, if you’re ok with disturbing true crime—”Don’t Pick Up The Phone” on Netflix is worth a look— I admittedly had to take a break because ooof, it’s not an easy watch.

Also, The Wreck List is taking next week off but we’ll see you in the new year!
