Show Notes Episode 304: Fly the Friendly Skyjackers Part 3 “Will the Real DB Cooper Please Stand Up?”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe angrily denies he is the same man who ran up this exorbitant bar tab and demands the bar retract this outrageous allegation! (This...did not work) On the show this week examine some of the people who MIGHT be DB Cooper. (But probably aren’t.)

Along the way we learn about some of Dave’s family history and their secret shame. (Surprisingly, not Dave!) Then we dive right into the most “likely” of the claimants to DB’s Briefcase, from the absurd to the “holy shit, this guy might actually be DB!” (We also rule out Gavin being DB Cooper definitively.) Finally, we announce our official editorial stance on who we think DB Cooper might be.

Our Sponsor this week is Dream Gene, for when you want to be descended from somebody important even if you are not. We open the show with the trailer for our inspiration this week and close with Laurier LaChance asking for some clarity.
