*Rerun* Episode 8 - Thomas Blood + Jeremy Wilson
We're basically in syndication!
We are taking this week off to let Bec have a bit more time to heal after top surgery (!!!!!!)
In the meantime we are running an old favourite, hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much as we did! Be back soon!
***********
This episode went off the railsssss. See what happens when tech issues cause us to go loopy and can't stop giggling. Jocko Blood!! ifkyk. We accidentally chose to cover very similar men, centuries apart.
First Adam (he/him) introduces us to Col. Thomas Blood, who after a life of bumbling through crime decides to bumble through an attempt of stealing the crown jewels. He befriends an unassuming guard just hoping to marry off his daughter.
Next Bec (they/them) takes us to this century where we meet another deceitful dude. Jeremy Wilson must have the best memory of all time because he has upwards of 27 identities he is operating under. So you think he'd be smarter about a trap left by the cops.
