Would you want to live forever? If so, guarding the Holy Grail may be the job for you! This week Emma tells Shannon about the Knights Templar, their legendary banking prowess, and the possibility that they are still hoarding treasure to this day. They also had rules pretty akin to what we know of fraternities today: “A bro shall not lay his hand on another bro.” This is probably as close to a National Treasure fan podcast as we could get, so come join and get those bingo cards ready! Emma might just give you a freebie for Christmas.
