S9E8: Boat Drinks | Aristotle Onassis & Stavros Niarchos

It’s been a cold week, friends, so we thought we’d take the show someplace warm and take a look at two of the 20th century’s most notable yacht owners: it’s Greek shipping magnate week on TD! Alicia has the trashy life of Aristotle Onassis, while Stacie has the trashy tale of his archrival Stavros Niarchos. These two cut a path of destruction through the lives of the people who loved them, often with tragic results.
