Brandon and Kazuki welcome back their first-ever guest and friend of the show, Todd Radom. Since 2013, when Brandon attended University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business, he has wondered why a plaque dedicated to the Pirates' first World Series victory stood at the building's front door. Therefore, our hosts welcome back Todd Radom, our baseball historian, to chronicle the history of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Homestead Grays. Todd and Brandon discuss how the city shaped one of the most recognizable teams in baseball for over a century. They discuss players, the ballparks, and, of course, bridges.
By the way, Todd kept his future (at the time) work with Shop 412 a secret from all of us until the collection was released a few weeks after we recorded the episode. We love a good coincidental incident of synergy.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
