A true-crime episode! Grant takes us to Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the night of the Gardner Museum Art Heist—the largest art robbery in modern history. We meet Myles Connor, Boston’s top art thief, wonder whether night guard Richard Abath was an unlucky bystander or an inside man, and learn about Isabella Stewart Gardner, the eccentric woman who built the museum and swore its layout must never change. All to get to the bottom of “the largest art heist in history.” But first, Grant and Maia spiral through immortality theories, sentient cats, 100-year-old parrots, birthday-party cringe, exercise-induced existential dread, a “secret tunnel” pillow un-boxing, and a TikTok raccoon-therapy rabbit hole just to warm up for the empty frames, tripped fire alarms, and unanswered questions ahead.
