   #145 Douglas Crabbe

   This week we're back with Gina in the co-host seat, and we're off to Australia... Because Australia goes hard. In this case, Douglas Crabbe certainly went hard, in the sense he drive a very large Mack turck, at speed, into the side of a very small bar. And all this happened in the middle of the Australian outback, which just makes it so much worse. Along the way, we also talk about what exactly qualifies as a serious injury in Australia, young bowsers and scumbags, and finally, how to get kicked out of every roadhouse in the country. It's a fun one.

   #144 Fetal Abduction

   This week we have Gina back for an episode, and wow, did we ever pick a fun one. This episode is all about fetal abduction, and if you're not sure exactly what that is, you are very lucky. Because we are going to talk about what it is, how much it happens, and how it's done. And along the way, we'll also talk about the band Ghost, the (theoretical) most depressed pregnant woman in history, and state sponsered fetal theft. Go big or go home.

   #143 Operation Tiger

   This week, we're back to cover a war story, but it's my kind of war story. The kind where nothing goes right, there's no heroism, and hundreds end up dead. This is the story of Operation Tiger, a practice run of the D-Day landings during WW2, and this disaster damn near blew the whole plan a month before the big show. We also have a guest host covering for Gina for this episode, so please welcome Bill Selby from Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer as we talk about bad plans, terrible communication, getting shot at, fight, flight or freeze, and why warships named after flowers is always a bad idea.
