This week we put on our ski masks and get the gang back together for a good old-fashioned heist! Jacob runs through the largest theft of private property in history that took place in Boston in 1990, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art theft. Two men came in and left with over half a billion dollars of art in tow and were never caught. What's your theory on what happened?

We return to the conflict of World War II in this episode as Evan runs us through the Battle of Stalingrad; one of the hardest fought and deadliest battles not only of this war but of all history. Between the Russian and German leaderships' decisions, many lives were lost and decisions were made that no human should ever have to deal with. This battle was as historic as they come. If Russia wouldn't have fun, who knows what would have happened?

It's time for our listener submitted group episode! Marshall joins us for the topic that he chose after donating the most to our GoFundMe by the time of the bar crawl. We discuss the history of the Denver International Airport as well as a lot of the controversy that has popped up surrounding some of the more dubious things the airport features. It has garnered a lot of attention for conspiracy theories and the airports CEO is more than happy to play along! We find out how it all started and what truth there is to the claims.

Drew joins us again for part two on Peter Sutcliffe! The bumbling Yorkshire police stumble into catching the Yorkshire Ripper on a lucky break and send him away. Luckily, nobody had any sympathy for Peter behind bars and he had a rough time, deservedly so. And don't worry, Drew got to mention the v-neck sweater.
